The Deception

"How is this possible?" Mayuri Kurotsuchi screamed at the top of his lungs at the Anti Ichigo and Rukia Movement meeting. He was informed by Renji that his plan to sicken Rukia in order to leave him, was abust.

"Simple." Renji replied. "Squad 4 caught wind of it and went to treat her." Mayuri stood up in raw anger.

"I'll kill that Captain Unohana for meddling in my most brilliant ideas!" Mayuri growled with his fists clenched.

"Calm down." Byakuya ordered. "It wasn't our best plan, and it's succession rate was only average at best." Mayuri growled once more, but relaxed and sat down.

"I suppose you're right." He said. "After all, it would've made our efforts too easy. What other plans do we have?"

"Kill Ichigo!" Kenpachi and Ikkaku said together.

"For the last time, we're not killing him." Byakuya said, now getting aggitated.

"Then how are we gonna do it?" Kenpachi growled.

"I've been thinking of a strategy for a while now..." Shuhei piped. "But completing it I haven't figured out how to do."

"Better tell us, before we resort to killing Ichigo." Kira said.

"Well, half of you already know Kon, Ichigo and Rukia's plush doll, acting as Ichigo's Modified Soul to replace Ichigo during Hollow missions." He began.

"Oh yeah!" Ikkaku said, smacking his cue ball head in wonder. "If we have him side with us, we can cause all sorts of damage from the inside without having being caught!"

"It could work." Renji said.

"But once again, thinking of what Kon should do is what I'm trying to figure out." Shuhei continued.

"Perhaps the Modified Soul should use whatever he sees fit." Nemu piped. Mayuri was about to punch her in the face for talking out of line, but on thinking of Nemu's logic, he sat down once more.

"Excellent thinking, Nemu." Mayuri praised, earning a comfortable smile from Nemu. "You, Abarai and Hisagi will go to the World of-"

"I can't..." Renji interrupted. He then threw the drawing Rukia gave him through Isane. Everyone looked at it with confusion. "I think she knows I'm involved somehow. Until I'm sure her suspicions are nullified, I'll have to sit out of all missions."

"Thank you for sharing this." Byakuya said. "This is a reminder that we should always stay vigilant in our efforts, and never let them suspect you, even for a second." He then crumbled the drawing, threw it in the air and used an incantation-less Sokatsui to burn it to ashes.

"I thought Momo was bad..." Renji muttered.

"Very well. Nemu, you, Hisagi and Madarame will go to the World of the Living and see to it, this plush becomes our ally..."

Rukia felt a shudder as her and Ichigo readied for bed.

"What's wrong, Rukia?" Asked Ichigo. "Still feeling ill?"

"No..." Rukia replied. "It felt like another one of my drawings was scorched..." Just to be sure, she checked under her mattress in the cupboard to see her precious chappy drawings were safe.

"It's just the shock still messing with yah." Ichigo said. Suddenly, Kon popped out from the door, having girly clothes attached to him. "Kon? Where've you been all this time?"

"Shut up and hide me!" Kon yelled, ducking under Ichigo's covers. "Your sis won't let me out of her sight!"

"How come?" Asked Rukia.

"Don't ask me!" Kon shouted, keeping still. Just then, Yuzu came in.

"Big brother, have you seen my little teddy anywhere?" She asked sadly. It would be Ichigo's great pleasure to throw Kon to her and say 'go wild', but Kon was needed.

"Sorry, Yuzu. Haven't seen it anywhere. Go check where you keep your teddies."

"Thanks, Ichigo." She smiled and went to her hunting. Kon climbed out and gave a sigh of relief.

"I owe you one, Ichigo..." Kon sighed. Ichigo threw him off the bed and onto Rukia.

"Don't mention it." Ichigo said, climbing into his bed. But Kon was in a state of joy, crashing into Rukia's breasts.

"I owe you two now, Ichigo..." Kon sighed in happiness. Rukia grew angry and volleyed the poor doll for the window. Luckily it was shut, so he only collidied with the glass softly.

"You're getting on my nerves..." Rukai growled.

Soon the three went to their sleep, with Kon on the window sill where he would normally sleep, Ichigo in his bed and Rukia in the cupboard. Rukia however wasn't sleeping too well, having entering a nightmare. Wherever Rukia went in her dream, fire was pouring everywhere. Rukia was frightened by the sight around her. But just then, she seen two shadows in the distance. One shadow was holding the other up by his neck with a sword to the ready to cut him down. Rukia ran for them, and not a second later, did she discover that the shadows were Byakuya who was holding Ichigo up by his neck.

"Wait! Brother!" Rukia screamed. But when she screamed, no words came out, rendering her silent.

"You dare defile my sister, Ichigo Kurosaki?" Byakuya yelled in anger. Ichigo coughed blood up with the pain. And before Rukia could do something, Byakuya stabbed Ichigo in the heart.

"NOOOOOOO!" At this point, she woke up with a loud scream. She felt the area around her, to see she was safe. She opened the door slightly to see Ichigo was sleeping just fine. "Just a dream..." Rukia eased herself to sleep, thinking only of Chappy and Ichigo so she could dream of one or both. When she fell asleep again, Kon awoke by a strange noise, like the tapping of a window.

"Wh-Who's there?" Asked Kon silently, as to not disturb Ichigo. Suddenly, the window opened quickly, and a hand grabbed Kon and pulled him out. He struggled fruitlessly, but was hushed. His captors went to the roof of the Kurosaki house and they were lit by the moon to reveal Nemu, Ikkaku and Shuhei. Kon was held by Nemu, who had quite the grip.

"Is this the one?" Asked Nemu, not having seen Kon before.

"Yeah." Ikkaku said.

"You!" Kon yelled. "What's the big idea?"

"We don't mean you no harm." Shuhei spoke. "We wish to negotiate." But Kon's eyes weren't on the Lieutenant of Squad 9, but of Squad 12. He was fixated on Nemu's irregular-sized breasts.

"I'll be willing to hear you out...if I can travel to them uncharted regions..." Kon spoke, while drooling.

"Can't be helped, he's a natural pervert." Ikkaku said. Nemu simply stuffed him into the cleavage which she had open, which made Kon go into a trance of delight.

"Now, you were saying?" Asked Kon like if he were in heaven.

"We need your help to split Ichigo and Rukia up." Shuhei said. Kon left his trance at this.

"Y-You mean it was you who was trying to split Rukia up?" Kon yelled.

"It was Byakuya." Ikkaku said. "He's got his mind set on getting Rukia away from Ichigo."

"And we're dragged into it." Shuhei finished.

"I gotta tell Ichigo!" Kon said urgently, but was forced in further into Nemu's breasts by said woman. Although it pleased him, he really wanted to inform Ichigo.

"Perhaps we can work ourselves a deal?" Asked Nemu.

"D-deal?" Asked Kon.

"Surely there must be something you'd like in return for your services?" Asked Shuhei.

"There's only one thing I want, and that is my darling Rukia!" Kon yelled. "And I'll be ruining that chance if I split Ichigo up with her!" Suddenly, Shuhei struck an idea.

"I think I've got an idea which may let you have her, by splitting the two up." He said. "But it can only work with your cooperation." Kon was a little edgy.

"I'm listening..."

The next morning, Kon was sleeping on the window sill as always while the two readied themselves for school.

"Ichigo, now that you found Kon, you should take him with you." Rukia said. She was adamant on him keeping a low profile during Hollow missions.

"Yeah, your right." Ichigo said. But before Ichigo could put Kon in his bag, Rukia's Hollow detector went off.

"Ichigo!" Rukia said urgently.

"Right. I'll handle this." Ichigo said, using Kon's Soul Candy form to change into a Soul Reaper and charged to find the Hollow.

"C'mon, Kon. Don't wanna be late for school." Rukia said as the two headed off.

"Right on time..." Kon said in Ichigo's body with a smile.

Kon and Rukia travelled a while towards school, with Kon finding it hard to resist doing his task he needed to do right then right now. He then looked in the alleyway beside them.

"Oh, there's Ichigo!" Kon shouted and dashed inside the alley.

"Really? I didn't notice him." Rukia said with a confused look, looking in Kon's direction two seconds afterwards. But by this time, Ichigo hopped out from the alleyway, putting the Kon doll into his bag.

"That Hollow wasn't much." Ichigo said, with a sigh.

"Good." Rukia said with a smile. "C'mon, we'll be late at this rate." But Ichigo didn't move, only giving a very large smile. Rukia was unprepared for the horror which would be inflicted on her very soon. Ichigo grabbed Rukia by the arms and mouth and began pulling her into the alley.

"You're mine for the taking." He said with a smile. She struggled violently, but Ichigo was too strong. Unknown to the attacked Rukia, it was actually still Kon, pretending to be Ichigo.

"Ichigo! What are you doing!" Rukia screamed.

"Something I should've done a long time ago!" Kon whispered, putting on the best Ichigo voice. This made Rukia quiver in fear. But unknown to the attacking Kon, help was already on the move.

Ichigo, the real one at least, cut down the menacing Hollow on top of a skyscraper.

"Phew! Easy pickings." Ichigo said, sheathing his Zangetsu sword. "Better catch up with Rukia, or I'll never hear the end of it." Suddenly, he felt a Spiritual Pressure ready to attack him. He swiftly dodged an incoming attack, from none other than Ikkaku. "Ikkaku?"

"Yo~!" Ikkaku said. "Wanna fight?"

"I'm kinda busy Ikkaku. Maybe some other time." Ichigo said. But Ikkaku swung his sword which made him back away.

"Your gonna have to find a better excuse than that!" Ikkaku said, now attacking Ichigo. Ichigo tried everything in his power to escape Ikkaku, but his wits as well as strength could find a way past him.

"C'mon, Ikkaku! I'm serious! If I don't get to school, Rukia'll kill me!" Ichigo said.

"Don't worry about her! Fight me like a man!" Ikkaku yelled. Ichigo had to defend with his Zangetsu sword to stop an incoming attack.

"God, why now?" Ichigo growled and tried to attack But just when Ikkaku had Ichigo, someone Shunpo'd towards Ikkaku and kicked him away with brute force, making him crash into a nearby billboard very painfully. Ichigo's saviour: Yoruichi.

"Yoruichi?" Ichigo yelled in surprise.

"Don't stand around gawking, Ichigo!" Yoruichi commanded. "Rukia's in trouble!" Ichigo's eyes widened. Now with Ikkaku "indisposed", Ichigo was free to run to Rukia's aid, which he had no idea what kind of trouble she was in.

Kon stood up over the defenseless rukia, as she lay on the ground, her hands tied with ropes conveniently lying on the alley floor, as her shirt was half open.

"I've been waiting for this!" Kon said triumphantly, still putting on his Ichigo-style voice.

"Ichigo! Please stop!" Begged Rukia.

"Not gonna work, Rukia!" He yelled and using his superior strength, ripped Rukia's blouse so her bra was clearly evident.

"Ichigo, how can you be so cruel?" Rukia cried.

"Hahaha! You just never seen the real me before!" Kon laughed. But then, just before Kon could do more damage, there came a commanding "GETSUGA TENSHO!" And with a bright blue energy wave, Kon was thrown back in pain.

"What...?" Rukia whispered and turned to the source to see the Soul Reaper Ichigo. "Ichigo?"

"Sorry I'm late, Rukia." Ichigo said, bearing his Zanpakutou in anger. "Looks like we got another one."

"Looks like it!" Rukia said. Inside though, she was utterly relieved that her attacker wasn't Ichigo. One more minute of it, and she would have made the decision to leave him. Ichigo prepared for battle, but all that was there was his body, Kon's Soul Candy and Kon's plush.

"Huh?" Ichigo said with a blink. "Who was attacking you, Rukia?" He said this while untying Rukia, the latter rubbed her wrists in agony.

"I don't know..." Rukia said. "The person was using your body, but he masked his voice with yours..." Ichigo noticed Kon's Soul Candy and plush.

"Perhaps Kon knew who did it." He picked Kon's parts up and put the Candy in his mouth. Kon came back to life.

"Hi, Ichigo!" Kon said.

"Kon, who attacked Rukia?" Asked Ichigo. Kon reacted to this.

"Who attacked my darling Rukia?" Kon yelled, looking around.

"Calm down!" Ichigo yelled. "So you never seen him?"

"'Fraid not..." Kon said with a sweatdrop. Rukia was trying desperately to fix her ripped shirt, while covering her naked flesh from the two boys, but it was hard. Ichigo noticed and put a hand on her shoulder.

"Don't worry, I'm sure Orihime can fix it." Ichigo said. But then pulled out his cardigan from his bag and pulled it over Rukia. "Until then, use this to cover up." Rukia blushed at Ichigo's kindness and hugged him closely.

"I was never so scared, Ichigo..." Rukia cried.

"It's over now..." Ichigo comforted. Then the two headed out to school. But Shuhei and Nemu saw the events.

"Damn it!" Shuhei cursed. "At least Kon's memory was wiped before he could spill the beans."

"You have Master Mayuri to thank for that." Nemu said.
