After Aizen


"Arrrrrghhhhh!" Nanao screeched, pulling her hair. The Shinigami Women's Association needed funds and the next budget allocation was still half a year away! All their usual money making ways aren't doing well, and they need new ideas that would probably work quickly.

During the next meeting with SWA members, the topic was quickly brought up. "Candy candy candy!" Yachiru chanted. Nanao shook her head. They would never sell it since the pink devil would eat it all.

"Oooh how about we sell special limited edition pictures of the Captains and vice captains? I still have a lot of those when Hisagi-kun and Kira-kun modeled for me the last time!" Matsumoto asked, twirling her hair listlessly.

"No way! They're inappropriate!" Nanao cried, blushing red at the memory of the pictures.

"Eh, then what's left?" Matsumoto asked.

"We could sell Yoruichi-sama plush toys! I know where we can get them from." Soi Fon quipped.

"Plush toys in general then," Nanao jotted down.

"Chappy toys!" Rukia exclaimed from her corner. Nanao ignored her.

The room was silenced. They had used up all their good ideas before and now they had nothing left.

"We must not spend so much money next time!" Yachiru cried, pounding her fists on her table.

"But you spent most of the money on candy and toys!" Nanao cried, frazzled.

"Nemu-chan, can you please show them what you've developed?" Yachiru asked, turning to her 'replacement' vice president.

"Of course madame president," she replied obediently. After leaving the room for a bit, she returned with a soul candy dispenser, plain in design but had the words 'testing' marked on them.

"Ehhhh? What's that?" Rukia asked as Yachiru oped the bottle and a very normal looking green pill rolled out.

"This is our answer! Special mod-souls that everyone would want!" Yachiru cheered, passing the green pill around.

"Is it safe?" Nanao asked.

"Perfectly safe vice president-sama," Nemu assured, popping a pill into Nanao's mouth.

"Wait wha-" with a gulp, the pill slid down her throat and she collapsed.

"Opsies, forgot we can't eat soul candy in soul form!" Yachiru said, jumping to observer Nanao's prone body.

"But what's so special about it anyhow?" Matsumoto asked, unconvinced.

Yachiru let out a dark chuckle. "Nemu-chan, show them that video."

The screen behind Yachiru began playing a video of the mod souls who were left to look after their gigais, displaying all sorts of embarrassing out-of-character behavior. The real Matsumoto wanted to kill someone, preferably her gigai, seeing that it was making an embarrassment of herself. She may dress a little more revealingly than others, but she won't throw herself around like a common slut, despite common belief. A shiver went down her spine. Disgusting good for nothing science products!

"We'll mix these up with the usual dispensers passed to the soldiers, then record them in action. If they don't want us to distribute the videos, they can pay us some money." Nemu continued as she placed several boxes of the pills on the table.

"Ohhhh! Even better! We can even help people mess with their friend's mod souls for a fee!" Matsumoto enthusiastically agreed, catching onto the idea rather quickly despite witnessing first hand how terrible it can get.

Soi Fon and Rukia, shot each other looks of disbelief, even though they have never really met. People can be united through events such as these.

"Well?" Yachiru asked, leaning towards them.

A silent conversation passed the two ladies.

"Nii-sama must not be implicated in anyway!" Rukia said, "If Nii-sama is not involved, there's no problem."

"Likewise with Yoruichi-sama," Soi Fon quipped.

"Then it's settled! Commerce operation Soul Candy!" Yachiru yelled, throwing her tiny fist into the air. "Each one of you take a box of them and slip them in somewhere in your divisions!"

Just about as each lady got a box of the contraband and left, Nanao finally recovered, spitting out the pill with a resounding "NO WAY!"

Too bad no one was left to hear her.
