Chappy had her arms tightly wrapped around Ichigo's chest. Not hugging him, but trying to fight in her own way. Ichigo kept trying to pry her off, much to the amusement of Renji. Ichigo had had enough. He finally decided to "power down" and cause Chappy to lose her grip, in a very comical fashion. She lost her grip and stumbled to the mats, landing with a thud. She picked herself up, complaining about how that was a cheap shot. She found Ichigo propped against the wall, smiling in victory. "Are you done now?" Rukia's voice cut the air and everyone gave her their full attention. Renji smiled and crouched down next to Rukia.

"Come on Rukia. They were just messing around. Why don't you try to put your arms around me?"

Rukia's cheeks flushed. "Renji! We are here to demonstrate how to use a gigai." Her arms crossed. "Besides, I can't wrap my arms around you. You're too big. "

Renji's smile was a mile wide. "That's not what you said last night!" Rukia's mouth dropped and she began to shake. Ichigo burst out laughing and Orihime put her hand over her mouth to hide her own giggle. Renji looked over at Rukia, who was giving him the death stare. "Kidding, kidding. It was a joke Rukia." He laughed nervously as he saw Rukia's arms uncross and she let out a big sigh. Renji put his hand on her shoulder and stood up. Rukia helped him up and they exchanged genuine smiles that only they knew the true meaning of. Meanwhile, Chappy stood there impatiently and asked if they were ready yet. Everyone stood aside as Renji, Rukia, and their gigais came forward. They both positioned themselves behind the gigais and walked into them, causing the soul candy to pop out. Orihime and Ichigo looked confused as they both began to walk around and show that they had control over the gigai.

Orihime finally spoke. "Um...it just looks like you walked into them and a ball came out of your mouth. That's all I saw."

Urahara leaned against the wall and replied. "More or less, that is all that it is. The resonance from the gigai connects with the soul and the artificial soul or Mod Soul is extracted. That is what that ball is."

Orihime still looked confused and Ichigo looked annoyed. "That really doesn't help me get into a gigai permanently. It seems temporary."

"On the contrary Kurosaki-san, a soul can stay in a gigai for as long as it needs. The Mod Soul is there to simply control the gigai while the shinigami, or in your case, spirit, does what they need to outside the gigai."

Rukia brought over the Mod Souls and gave them each one to examine. Both took them and looked at it with childlike curiosity. Orihime suddenly had the hugest craving for a gumball. Rukia stood patiently and smiled slightly at their ignorance. "Soon enough, they will be pros at this." She thought.

Ichigo held his up as Orihime gave hers back to Rukia. "So, would I get one of these as well?"

Urahara had since sat down and continued drinking his tea, observing the situation as he slowly sipped. He put his cup down and spoke. "Yes. I have one that you can use. Tonight I plan on getting some measurements from you and tomorrow morning, I will start making your gigai. I have some shells in storage and it shouldn't take long to make a prototype. Ichigo nodded and gave the Mod Soul back to Rukia. Urahara smiled at the thought of being able to experiment again. Also to be able to have such a subject would be very interesting. "Alright everyone! I need to take ichigo into the other room to get some measurements. Rukia, Renji, you both can stay if you'd like, but I'm guessing Inoue-san will want to sleep soon." Orihime shot her arm up claiming to be still very much awake, only to begin yawning while her arm was still in the air. Everyone laughed and Orihime quickly put her arm down and apologized. Rukia and Renji said goodbye to everyone and headed out. They promised to come back tomorrow to see the new gigai. Orihime was shown to a room that had a futon laid out for her. Urahara and Ichigo stood at the door. As she turned, she looked right at Ichigo and with a sleepy smile, she bid them both goodnight. She plopped onto the futon and looked out the window to the moon, which was casting its light onto the floor. Orihime moved her futon slowly towards the light until she was under its magical light. She looked up at the moon for quite a while, contemplating what had happened the last week and how she never imagined her life would end up like this.

Hours passed, and Urahara was finally starting to get tired. Ichigo agreed to come back in the morning to get more measurements and he disappeared. Urahara let out a big sigh in the moonlit room. He adjusted his hat and stepped out the front door. He stood outside the door and gazed up at the moon. Moments later, he heard footsteps approaching. He looked down to see the man now standing in front of him. The man spoke softly. "I got your message. So he did come."

"Yes he did. Just like you thought he would."

"Well, if it was me in that situation, I'd do the same."

"Like father, like son, huh?"

"Yeah, I guess so."

Note: This was a harder chapter because I couldn't remember much about gigais. i researched and still didn't find much, so I just went with what sounded like it would work. Sorry for the short chapter. Next chapter, ichigo finally gets to try to enter his gigai and meet his Mod Soul. i bet no one can guess who it is. :)
