Hello and welcome to chapter 5. Last time, Ichigo and Rangiku let their substitute souls handle things in school while they were out dealing with Hollows. Little did they know however that their substitute souls were actually Mod Souls. What was worse, both were perverts and started molesting their bodies. If that wasn't bad enough, Tatsuki actually got into a fight with them and got her ass handed to her by Rangiku's Mod Soul. Now the two are on the run and Ichigo and Rangiku have to find them before they cause anymore harm either to their bodies or to the people around them.

Chapter 5
Kon and Momone
Out in the open, Ichigo and Rangiku ran after their substitute souls. But unbeknownst to them, someone was watching from an alleyway. They eventually tracked them to an abandoned warehouse, but for some reason, they didn't find them.
"AH CRAP," Ichigo shouted. "We lost them, or us, or whoever the hell you want to call them…!"
"We're obviously at a dead end here," Rangiku told him.
"What," Ichigo gasped before complaining, "Look we don't have time for that Soul Reaper nonsense…! We have to capture them, I mean us, I mean… I'm not sure what I mean…! But you saw it too…! First those jerks used my body and your Gigai to take advantage of our figures…! My body groped your Gigai for crying out loud…! Not to mention the riot that they caused in class just now…! The one in my body took advantage of Tatsuki and then he… K… K…"
"He kissed her, I know," Rangiku acknowledged. "You're forgetting that the one in my body to pick a fight with Tatsuki shortly after."
"This sucks," Ichigo wined. "Don't say that…! My life is over…!"
"Then are you ready to go to the Soul Society," Rangiku teased.
"Don't tease me like that," Ichigo gasped. "It's just an expression…! I put years into crafting my image…!"
"But then all of this happens and then everything falls apart," Rangiku finished the statement. "That about sum it up? I spent years crafting my image too, but you don't see me complaining about this disaster."
"That's probably because you're image is to be a slutty bimbo," Ichigo countered.
There was a moment of silence, and then in a fit of rage, Rangiku shoved Ichigo's face into her cleavage, suffocating him.
"Okay look, you want to argue or do you want to find those two," Rangiku questioned, keeping his face in her cleavage.
"Okay, okay, you win," Ichigo complied while trying to break free.
Rangiku released Ichigo, allowing him to breathe.
"Would you stop doing that," Ichigo caught his breath.
"When you stop behaving like a child," Rangiku told him.
Suddenly something hit Ichigo as he remembered what Rangiku called them. "Wait a minute you called them Mod Souls, right?"
"Huh," said Rangiku.
"So what is that," Ichigo questioned. "Just what the hell are they?"
Rangiku explained, "Sometime ago, the Soul Society initiated a new project they called Spearhead."
"Spearhead," Ichigo asked.
"Yes," Rangiku continued. "They took souls that had been modified for combat and placed them into the dead after their own souls had parted. They were to be used as soldiers against the Hollows. It was quite the reprehensible plan. All of the souls that were selected to take part in the Spearhead project were then altered and once inside a body, one aspect of their host was made superhuman. An artificial soul built for battle, a mod soul. However, the Spearhead project was rejected as it would force corpses to fight and in the end, all of the mod or modified souls that were still in the incubation stages were ordered to be destroyed."
"Destroyed," Ichigo asked.
"Yes, but as you and I can see, there are some that are still out there," Rangiku finished.
"So the guy inside my body was created by the Soul Society," Ichigo asked. "And now they've decided they want him wiped out for being what they made him?"
"Sadly yes," Rangiku answered.
"And you're telling me you can honestly accept that," Ichigo questioned.
"I don't like it any better than you do," Rangiku told him. "But, the orders came from the higher ups and according to them the Mod Souls must be destroyed. In any case, the laws of the Soul Society aren't arbitrary, for they have been placed for the protection of all human souls."
Ichigo then questioned, "And you just follow the status quo blindly like that?"
"Huh," Rangiku asked.
Ichigo explained, "I'll admit, those two did molest our bodies back at the house and they did cause a lot of trouble back at school and I'm still mad at them for that… But still, no one deserves to be wiped out just because of what they are…!"
This declaration surprised Rangiku. She was expecting Ichigo to still be mad at the Mod Souls for molesting their bodies and causing all of that mayhem at school and she was right. She was expecting him wanting to destroy them no matter what, but this caught her off guard.
"Anyway, we better get going and find those Mod Souls before they do anything else with our bodies," Rangiku told him.
Ichigo nodded in agreement and the two went off to look for their bodies.
Elsewhere in Karakura Town, the two Mod Souls had relocated into an ally way where they pressed Ichigo and Rangiku's bodies together.
"That was close," said Ichigo's Mod Soul
"You've got that right, handsome," said Rangiku's Mod Soul. "That Tatsuki girl was crazy, but Ichigo and Rangiku showing up as quickly as they did was unexpected."
"Well then, perhaps we should make a moment to remember," Ichigo's Mod Soul suggested.
"Whatever do you have in mind, handsome," Rangiku's Mod Soul laughed teasingly.
"I think you know what I have in mind, beautiful," Ichigo's Mod Soul replied teasingly.
Without another word, Rangiku's Mod Soul started undressing Rangiku's body and Ichigo's Mod Soul did the same to Ichigo's body. Rangiku's Mod Soul started off with Rangiku's top, exposing Rangiku's massive breasts once again, much to Ichigo's Mod Soul's excitement. Once that was done, Ichigo's Mod Soul resumed groping Rangiku's breasts, much to the pleasure of Rangiku's Mod Soul. Almost as soon as Ichigo's Mod Soul grabbed a hold of Rangiku's bosom, Ichigo's hands and fingers sank into Rangiku's breasts, as if they were giant marshmallows. It was then that Ichigo's Mod Soul realized just how massive Rangiku's breasts were compared to Ichigo's hands where even with both hands, he couldn't hope to cover just one breast.
"I don't think I can get enough of these melons," said Ichigo's Mod Soul.
"Less talking and more groping," Rangiku's Mod Soul moaned.
"Don't mind if I do," Ichigo's Mod Soul began massaging Rangiku's breasts.
This action caused Rangiku's Mod Soul to moan in pleasure upon feeling Ichigo's hands grope her breasts.
Elsewhere in town, Orihime was running around the streets, looking for Ichigo and Rangiku's bodies.
"Where could those two have gone," she thought. "They ran off in such a hurry that I don't know where they are. And why were they touching each other in class earlier?"
Suddenly, Orihime ran passed an alleyway where she heard some deep moaning. Curious, she poked her head into the alleyway, but saw nothing at first. Walking in, she soon came across the source of the moaning. There were Ichigo and Rangiku's Mod Souls busily molesting Ichigo and Rangiku's bodies, with Ichigo's Mod Soul massaging Rangiku's breasts. The very sight of it made Orihime blush as she couldn't believe what was happening right in front of her.
"You like this sensation, don't you," Ichigo's Mod Soul teased.
"Well yes, handsome," Rangiku's Mod Soul answered. "But why don't we take this up a notch? How about you tweak my nipples while you're at it big shot?"
"Good idea," Ichigo's Mod Soul did as he was told and began tweaking Rangiku's nipples.
"Do it faster, and then pinch them hard," Rangiku's Mod Soul tempted Ichigo's Mod Soul and he complied.
He tweaked Rangiku's nipples faster for a minute or two, only to pinch them moments later.
"EEP…!"
While that was going on, Orihime couldn't help but pleasure herself a little. She groped her own breasts and even fingered her pussy a little at the sight of what Ichigo and Rangiku's Mod Souls were doing. If that wasn't enough, the two Mod Souls then moved their heads closer together, their lips inching in for a lust-filled kiss.
However at the last minute, Orihime, snapping back to her senses, called out to them and stopped them in their tracks. "STOP…!"
The two Mod Souls then looked and saw Orihime standing there panting and blushing at what she was witnessing.
"Don't do that to their bodies," Orihime told them. "Ichigo and Rangiku are close, but molesting their bodies… it's not right."
There was a moment of silence.
Next thing everyone knew, Ichigo's Mod Soul started making a move on Orihime, much to her nervousness. He forced her to back into a wall, his face expressing a look like a predator that had just cornered its prey.
"Uh, what are you doing," Orihime asked nervously.
"Oh Orihime, my goddess," Ichigo's Mod Soul thought as he turned his gaze to her cleavage. "You and your supersized bosom. Sure it doesn't compare to Rangiku, but still it is close. I remember last night when I first gazed upon it. Sure it was under bad circumstances, but still."
Flashback:
Orihime took notice of the pink teddy bear she had falling down and moved towards it to pick it up. Realizing what was about to happen, Ichigo and Rangiku took their soul candies and were able to leave their physical bodies for their Soul Reaper forms. Orihime then notice that there seemed to be blood coming out where her right hand met her teddy bear's head.
"Is this blood," Orihime questioned.
"Orihime, get back," called out the substitute soul.
But it was no use. The nāga-like Hollow thrusted it's hand through Orihime's body, forcing her soul out.
"Orihime," Tatsuki gasped.
"Get away," Rangiku's Mod Soul moved Tatsuki out of the way before the Hollow could do any damage to her.
At the same time, Ichigo's Mod Soul picked up Orihime's body and moved it away.
"Good job, you two," Rangiku commented.
"Good job," Ichigo questioned. "They weren't able to save Orihime…!"
"Argue later," Rangiku pointed out. "Focus on the task at hand…!"
The Hollow then showed itself once more and Orihime took notice of the creature.
"What is that thing," Orihime gasped.
"It's a Hollow, Orihime," Ichigo told her.
"And I'm afraid it's after your soul," Rangiku explained. "Stay behind for your own safety."
"O-Okay," Orihime nodded.
While that was going on, Ichigo's Mod Soul looked at Orihime's body and took notice of her large breasts.
"Wow," he thought. "Supersized…!"
The Mod Soul then began to promptly grope her, but stopped himself upon hearing Orihime's story and the arrival of Acid Wire. He tried to snatch Orihime again, but Rangiku saw this and pushed her and Ichigo out of the way just in time, saving their lives.
"Orihime," Acid Wire snarled. "Give me back Orihime…! She's mine…!"
"Rangiku, protect Orihime," Ichigo charged at Acid Wire.
Acting on instinct, Acid Wire slammed his tail into the floor, causing the entire house to collapse. Ichigo and Rangiku's substitute souls managed to get Tatsuki and Orihime's body out just in time, but Ichigo, Rangiku, and Orihime's soul were buried under the rubble. Moments later, Acid Wire emerged from the rubble along with Ichigo, Rangiku, and Orihime. Ichigo's Mod Soul decided against another groping session upon seeing Orihime having an emotional moment with her brother.
"Don't worry, Orihime," Ichigo's Mod Soul muttered. "I won't make a move on you until the time is right. I might be perverted, but I'm not insensitive."
End of Flashback:
"I meant what I said," Ichigo's Mod Soul thought to himself. "I want to get closer to you, but I don't want to rush into anything."
"Hey there, Orihime," said Ichigo's Mod Soul, taking Orihime by the hand and rubbing her hair. "Nice to see you again…"
"Um, nice to see you again to, I guess," said Orihime, feeling confused.
Next thing Orihime knew, Ichigo's Mod Soul took her hand and kissed it, causing her to blush and gasp lightly at the gesture. "Oh…"
Rangiku's Mod Soul watched with interest.
"You know, you have a really nice body for a girl your age, especially when it comes to your large breasts," said Ichigo's Mod Soul. "Is it okay if I play with them?"
Orihime blushed like a cherry upon hearing that and the expression on the Mod Soul's face didn't help.
"Oh, I don't think Orihime is ready for that step, Handsome," Rangiku's Mod Soul pointed out.
"Yeah, I guess you're right," Ichigo's Mod Soul admitted.
"But if you want, you can always try your luck with me," Rangiku's Mod Soul offered.
"Wait a minute," Orihime told them. "Remember, those aren't your bodies so you shouldn't be doing anything like that, at least, not without permission from Ichigo and Rangiku."
"Do you really think that Ichigo and Rangiku will let us do things like this if we asked them," Rangiku's Mod Soul questioned.
"Perhaps not, well not yet," Orihime admitted. "But give them time. I'm sure they'll consider it. But like I said, those bodies aren't yours."
Ichigo and Rangiku's Mod Souls wanted to go at it again, but they knew that Orihime was right. As much as they wanted to touch each other, they knew that the bodies they were in didn't belong to them.
At Urahara's shop, Kisuke was preparing to go out and find the Mod Souls. He had a weapon of his design prepared, but what it looked like was a mystery as it was wrapped up in bandages.
"Like they say, guess what's done is done," said Kisuke.
Ururu showed her face and said, "Mr. Kisuke sir… I am… I am so sorry. I know this is all my fault. I hope that you're not mad at me."
Kisuke stared at Ururu for a moment before telling her, "There's no need to be afraid, Ururu. So you made a big mistake, we're in this together. I mean you didn't do it on purpose."
Ururu felt some relief from Kisuke's words.
"Don't you worry, I'll take care of everything," Kisuke told her.
"Oh, Mr. Kisuke," Ururu started to cry.
"There now, it's okay," Kisuke allowed her to cry on his shoulder for a moment or two.
"Excuse me, Mr. Kisuke," said Tessai. "Everything's ready, sir."
Kisuke looked at his comrades and said, "Good, let's collect the merchandise."
Meanwhile Orihime was showing Ichigo and Rangiku's Mod Souls around town, the two Mod Souls having redressed Ichigo and Rangiku's bodies. As they walked, the two identified what they were to Orihime.
"So, you two are Modified Souls or Mod Souls created by the Soul Society," Orihime asked. "And you were all sentenced to be destroyed because the higher ups deemed you too dangerous?"
"Yeah, more-or-less," Ichigo's Mod Soul sighed. "After we were created, the Soul Society sent out an order. They made and announcement that all Mod Souls should be destroyed immediately."
"So the very day after we were created, the society gave us each a death sentence," said Rangiku's Mod Soul. "So we waited, trembling with fear insider our pills just waiting to die."
"Day after day, we watched helplessly as the others were disposed of," Ichigo's Mod Soul explained. "But then we and a few others got lucky. The two of us got shipped out with a load of goods by mistake while the rest got out through different methods. But we all always expected to be discovered and destroyed."
"We were alone for what seemed like years," said Rangiku's Mod Soul. "We had quite a while to think about how things should be."
"Oh you poor things," Orihime sighed sadly.
"Now I don't know about my partner here, but I decided that no one has the right to take someone's life away," said Ichigo's Mod Soul. "We exist and we should the right to live our lives for as long as we want to! Like humans, we deserve that."
"And you," Orihime asked Rangiku's Mod Soul.
"I agree," said Rangiku's Mod Soul.
"Even if what you said is true, remember that those bodies your in aren't yours to tamper with," Orihime pointed out. "They belong to Ichigo and Rangiku and you really must respect the way others want to live their lives for as long as they want to!"
Both Mod Souls gasped upon hearing Orihime's reasoning.
A voice sprang out, "Well what do we have here."
Everyone looked and spotted what looked like a cat.
"A talking cat," Orihime asked.
"And who are you supposed to be," said Ichigo's Mod Soul.
"I am Yoruichi," said the cat. "And I'm afraid I can't allow you to wonder around anymore."
"Ah, run," Rangiku's Mod Soul exclaimed.
The three then ran as fast as they could with Yoruichi in hot pursuit. As they ran, the two Mod Souls realized that Orihime was lagging behind do to not having their superhuman characteristics. Acting on instinct, Ichigo's Mod Soul picked up Orihime bridal style, causing her to blush, and carried her away.
"Oh damn it," Yoruichi lost them. "I completely underestimated them. But still, they cannot hide forever. Sooner or later, I will find them."
Meanwhile, Ichigo and Rangiku were trying to find their Mod Souls before they could cause any chaos. As they moved from rooftop to rooftop, many things went through their heads.
"I wonder what those two must be feeling, walking around inside of our bodies," Ichigo thought. "They're created at random, and then destroyed at random, yet somehow those two survived and found their way to a body. But still, they have to keep running. I can't imagine what that must be like for them."
"I wonder what's going on inside Ichigo's head," Rangiku thought. "After the way those Mod Souls molested our bodies and took advantage of one of his friend, he should be furious and more than eager to destroy them. Then again, I don't know Ichigo that well and as long as those two don't molest anyone else, especially innocent Orihime, I guess it's okay."
As they moved from rooftop to rooftop, Ichigo and Rangiku failed to notice a certain shopkeeper following them.
Elsewhere, Orihime and the Mod Souls had managed to evade Yoruichi and were now located atop Karakura S. Primary School, the school that Karin and Yuzu went to.
"That was close," Rangiku's Mod Soul sighed.
"Tell me about it," Ichigo's Mod Soul put Orihime down.
Orihime then said, "Still, that cat was so cute. I would like to keep that cat as a pet."
Suddenly, Ichigo's Mod Soul came up behind Orihime and groped her bosom (Chizuru style), causing her to blush, moan, and scream in surprise.
"I know I've found my lovely pets," said Ichigo's Mod Soul.
"Oh, no you don't," Rangiku's Mod Soul pulled Ichigo's hands away from Orihime's breasts and placed them on Rangiku's. "These hands belong with these breasts. Besides, we don't want to draw attention to ourselves right now and it would be wise not to molest our host."
Ichigo's Mod Soul sweat dropped, realizing that Rangiku's Mod Soul was right.
While that happened, Orihime instinctively covered her cleavage and remembered all the moaning she heard back in Ichigo's room and after seeing what was going on earlier, she realized something, despite being an airhead. "You're both perverts, aren't you?"
The two Mod Souls paused for a moment before confirming that they were.
"Sorry about that," Ichigo's Mod Soul apologized for his earlier actions, sincerity in his words.
"Just try not to do that again," Orihime told him, her voice carrying a tone of honesty and seriousness. "You're lucky it was just me and I didn't mind it that much, but next time, it might be Tatsuki and she won't hesitate to annihilate you."
"Yeah, I know what you mean," Ichigo's Mod Soul agreed, remembering Tatsuki's reaction earlier and genuinely surprised by his goddess's tone.
Suddenly the three heard voices below. Looking down, they saw three boys playing a video game. One had light and messy brown hair and freckles on his cheeks, on was obese and had black hair, eyebrows that looked like flags, and a donut-shaped mouth, and one had untidy brown hair which stuck up in random places, wore thick glasses and his P.E. kit. These were Hashigami, Kaneda, and Ino, three of Karin's classmates.
"What are they up to," said Ichigo's Mod Soul.
"Man, this is so much better than physical education," said Ino, the one with the glasses. "What a waste of time."
"Yeah, this is a great way to ditch class," said Hashigami, the one with messy hair. "Karin always yells at us whenever we miss the ball."
As they played, Ichigo's Mod Soul leaped onto the gate right next to them without being noticed.
Suddenly, Ino lost the game. "Dang, I can't believe I lost again."
Kaneda, the chubby one laughed at him.
"What's wrong with you, get em," said Ino. "I created you, didn't I? Now do what I tell you…!"
"Just kill him off," said Kaneda, getting the attention of both Mod Souls, something Orihime took notice of.
"Yeah, totally," said Hashigami. "Anyone who doesn't obey their master should die."
They played on.
"Giese, you destroyed him," said Kaneda.
"So what, I'll just make a better one," said Ino.
But both Mod Souls didn't like this at all, as it reminded them of their past. They then growled, making themselves known to the boys before they jumped in front of them.
"Wha-What do you want," said Ino.
Both Mod Souls then prepared to attack them. Orihime took notice of this and got in the way to stop them. "Stop…!"
This gesture stopped the two dead in their tracks. While they were mad at the boys for how they treated their characters, they weren't going to attack Orihime.
"Did you see that," said Ino. "They just jumped from way up there."
"Why are you attacking these children," Orihime questioned.
"They were about to destroy their own creations," Ichigo's Mod Soul answered.
Orihime then remembered their stories about being sentenced to death by the Soul Society and began reasoning, "I know that you two have been through a lot in your past, but these kids are innocent. They were just playing a game and they have nothing to do with your past. Besides, you said it yourself that no one has the right to take someone's life away."
Both Mod Souls paused for a moment before realizing that Orihime was right.
"Let's just leave before anything else happens," Orihime suggested.
Before anything else could be said, Ichigo's Mod Soul picked up Orihime bridal style again and all three left the campus grounds. Moments later, the P.E. teacher showed up, not looking too pleased with what she was seeing.
On the campus rooftop, Ichigo and Rangiku arrived, despite the fact that they should have been there sooner.
"Alright where did they go," Ichigo questioned.
Before Rangiku could answer, her soul phone detected a nearby Hollow. "They'll have to wait Ichigo. We have an order."
"What, you've got to be kidding," said Ichigo.
"We've got a Hollow alert here," said Rangiku, ignoring Ichigo's complaint. "I'm sorry, but we'll have to leave now. We'll deal with the Mod Souls later."
While Ichigo didn't like the idea of just letting the Mod Souls run loose, he knew that Rangiku was right.
Meanwhile, the Mod Souls were hopping from rooftop to rooftop once more, Ichigo's Mod Soul still carrying Orihime in his arms. Orihime herself had wrapped her arms around Ichigo's neck in response, making the two look like newlyweds. But as they made their way away from the campus, they sensed a Hollow nearby.
"I sense a Hollow coming," said Ichigo's Mod Soul.
"I sense it to," said Rangiku's Mod Soul. "It feels like it's going to that school we were just at!"
"But who is it going to attack," said Ichigo's Mod Soul. "Do you think it could be those three kids?"
"We've got to go back and help them," Orihime told them. "No one has the right to take someone's life away."
Both Mod Souls looked at one another and realized that Orihime was right.
Back at the campus, the three boys were being punished for playing videogames when they should have been playing sports as well as allegedly lying about a young woman and a teenaged boy trying to assault them only for a teenaged girl to intervene. As punishment, they were ordered to clean up the whole field after class, perhaps even after school. As they cleaned, they pondered to each other as to why the teacher didn't believe them only for them to realize it was because they lie to her about stuff all the time. It didn't help either that their story sounded too farfetched to begin with.
While they were thinking of a way to get back at their teacher, a centipede-like Hollow appeared in the sky above them. The Hollow was about to attack the boys when the Mod Souls showed up and knocked it away, Ichigo's with a kick and Rangiku's with a punch.
Orihime got to the boys and shielded them from the aftershock. "Get down…!"
The Hollow was knocked into a nearby fence.
"What the, it's those guys again," Ino turned his attention to Orihime. "Hey why did you push us down like that…?"
"Don't worry about that," Orihime told them. "You have to leave, right now, while you still can!"
Not wanting to argue with someone older than them, the boys obeyed her orders and ran for it while the Mod Souls dealt with the Hollow. The Hollow fought back by extending its tentacle-like limbs at the Mod Souls. The tentacles acted like spears and struck the Mod Souls, Ichigo's in the shoulder and Rangiku's in the hip.
"Are you guys are alright," Orihime gasped.
"I think the wounds aren't too deep," Rangiku's Mod Soul answered.
"But you should get out of here as well," Ichigo's Mod Soul told Orihime.
The Hollow got back up and attempted to attack Orihime, but Ichigo's Mod Soul kicked the Hollow away again. Rangiku's Mod Soul followed with a punch to the face, forcing it away further. The two Mod Souls then jumped up the campus building, only for the Hollow to expectedly follow out of frustration.
In the distance, Ichigo and Rangiku were trying to locate the Hollow when they both noticed it back at the campus.
"Look, there's the Hollow," Rangiku pointed out.
"Yeah, I see it," Ichigo agreed.
Suddenly, they both noticed their Mod Souls there as well.
"Those two are there too," Rangiku noted.
"Those idiots," Ichigo grumbled before he and Rangiku ran up to the battlefield.
They got there just in time as the Hollow was about to spear them again with its tentacles only for Ichigo and Rangiku to sliced said tentacles off at the last second. The Hollow roared in pain as it backed off a bit.
"What are you guys doing here," Rangiku's Mod Soul questioned
"What are we doing here," Ichigo and Rangiku grabbed their respective Mod Souls. "Do you have any idea what you guys just did to our bodies? My shoulder was sliced upon and so was Rangiku's hip…! It's my body and Rangiku's Gigai that you're messing up…!"
"You're lucky that we got here as soon as we did, otherwise it could have been much worse," Rangiku agreed.
"Listen, if you can't take on a Hollow without getting hurt, then don't do it," Ichigo turned his attention back to the Hollow.
"What's your problem," said Ichigo's Mod Soul. "We had to fight him because you two were late…! If we had waited for you those kids and Orihime would be dead meat…!"
"You got Orihime involved in this," Ichigo shrieked.
"Save your berating for later, Ichigo," Rangiku turned her attention to the Hollow. "That Hollow's getting back up…!"
The Hollow charged at the four in an attempt to eat them. But just as it got too close, Ichigo and his Mod Soul stopped it dead in its tracks. Ichigo sliced the Hollow's mask while held it back with another kick. The Hollow flew backwards only for Rangiku's Mod Soul to knock it away from the field with another punch. Moments later, the Hollow disappeared.
After the battle was over, Orihime came out from the stairway and found that everything looked okay. "Ichigo, Rangiku…!"
The four all looked at her.
"Orihime," Ichigo gasped.
"So she was here," Rangiku gasped.
"What are you doing here," Ichigo questioned.
Orihime then explained everything, with the Mod Souls explaining their side of the story.
"Well look who we have here," said Kisuke, making his presence known. "So finally we find you two, and what a picture. You're all beat up and worn out, all of that trouble for nothing."
Kisuke then used the end of his cane to knock out the substitute souls out of Ichigo and Rangiku's bodies. Kisuke then picked up both pills and started walking away, much to the displeasure of Shinta, only to be stopped at the last second by Ichigo.
"Where are you going with those two," Ichigo questioned.
"They're both Mod Souls, so I have to destroy them," Kisuke informed him.
"You see me," Ichigo gasped. "How can that be? Just who are you guys anyway?"
"I'm not sure how to answer that," said Kisuke. "For now, all I can say is this, I'm Kisuke Urahara."
"I believe those are mine," Rangiku snatched the pills.
"Miss Matsumoto, you can't have those," Kisuke told her.
"And why is that," Rangiku questioned. "I bought those two so I own them. Are you implying that it's your policy to seize goods that your customers have already payed for?"
"Well, care to have your money back," Kisuke offered. "I'll give you a full refund."
"No thanks, I'm completely satisfied with my purchase," Rangiku answered. "Besides Kisuke, we both know that you are working outside the law. On another note, it's not your job to recall these Mod Souls."
"I just hope you know what you're getting involved in, so don't blame me if you get into trouble," Kisuke warned her.
"There's no need to worry," said Rangiku. "Don't forget, I'm still a lieutenant of the 13 Court Guard Squads."
Ichigo and Rangiku then returned to their bodies and walked away with Orihime in tow. Yoruichi then approached Kisuke.
"Well, that went well," said Yoruichi.
"I suppose so, Yoruichi," Kisuke identified the cat.
Meanwhile, Ichigo, Rangiku, and Orihime were walking through the city together; Ichigo and Rangiku were still wounded and were wondering what to do with their Mod Souls. While a lot of things went through Ichigo's head, especially what Rangiku mentioned earlier about being a lieutenant of these 13 Court Guard Squads, the only thing that he was focusing on was his injuries.
"Ouch," Ichigo covered his wounded shoulder.
"Ow," Rangiku covered her wounded hip.
"Are you two okay," Orihime asked.
"Nothing too serious, all things considered," Rangiku admitted.
"Man, those Mod Souls really took our bodies for a really rough test drive," Ichigo took out his Mod Soul pill. "You tried to wreck me!"
The Mod Soul gave no answer.
"Hey are you even listening to me," Ichigo yelled, only to stop as soon as he heard Orihime and Rangiku giggling.
"Oh Ichigo, you look so silly taking to a pill like that," Rangiku giggled.
"Oh, shut up," Ichigo complained. "I still want to tell him how I feel! What about you and your Mod Soul? Help me out here, Rangiku. Is there a way at least I can give these Mod Souls what's coming to them?"
"Well in order for that to happen, you'll have to assert them into a body first, one for each," Rangiku answered. "Preferably, a dead body or one that doesn't have a soul…"
"Ah ha, I get you," said Ichigo with an understandably sinister grin. "I'm looking hard for a dead body, and when I find it, BAM…! Are they going to get it…!"
"Please don't be too ruff with them," Orihime pleaded.
This got Ichigo's attention.
"I know that they caused a lot of trouble, but don't you think that they deserve to have a chance to live their lives for as long as they want to," Orihime questioned.
"Even so, Orihime," said Rangiku. "It doesn't change what they did and they must be…"
Suddenly, Ichigo noticed a stuffed lion sitting atop some white trash bags.
"So let me get this straight," said Ichigo. "You're saying none-living objects can work for this, right?"
"I don't think that's how it works," Rangiku told him. "Then again, I'm in a body that's not real so perhaps it could work. Just place it into the stuffed animal's mouth."
"You mean, like this," Ichigo did just that for his Mod Soul.
"Here, Rangiku," Orihime took out her pink teddy bear. "You can use my teddy bear."
"Thanks, Orihime," Rangiku took Orihime's teddy bear and placed her Mod Soul into its mouth.
There was a moment of silence, but then suddenly, both stuffed animals came to life.
"Huh, where are we," said Ichigo's Mod Soul.
"I don't know," said Rangiku's Mod Soul. "But the world looks so much bigger than I remember it to be."
"That's probably because you're both inside stuffed animals," Rangiku pointed out.
"Stuffed animals," both Mod Souls questioned before looking at their new bodies.
"Well, I suppose this is what we get for our actions earlier," said Ichigo's Mod Soul.
"Yeah, I suppose so," said Rangiku's Mod Soul.
"Oh believe me, you're punishment has only begun," Ichigo snickered. "It's one thing that you decide to molest our bodies, but then you decided to take them for a test drive through the city and cause a ruckus. Not to mention that you took advantage of Tatsuki and Orihime and kissed them, even touched Orihime…!"
"Wait a minute Ichigo," Orihime stopped Ichigo.
"Orihime," Ichigo questioned.
"Oh, I don't mind if your Mod Soul touches me," Orihime reassured him. "Besides with me and Rangiku around, at least he won't try that with anyone else."
"Orihime," Ichigo sweat dropped.
"In any case, we need names for these two," Rangiku pointed out.
"Very well," Ichigo agreed. "I think I'll name mine Kon."
"And just where did you come up with that name for me," Kon questioned.
Ichigo explained, "I've named you Kon because it's short for Mod Konpaku. It's another name for a Mod Soul like you."
"You're not the boss of me," Kon complained.
"What about yours, Rangiku," Orihime questioned.
"I'll be naming mine Momone," Rangiku answered. "I think it's a prettier name than what Ichigo named his."
"Oh, thanks," Momone answered.
"Hey, how come she gets pretty name and I don't," Kon complained.
Orihime then picked Kon up and held him to her cleavage, much to his delight. "Don't worry about it. I'm sure you'll get used to it."
"I know I'm going to get used to being with these," Kon thought while rubbing his face in Orihime's cleavage.
"Orihime, don't spoil him," Ichigo shook his head.
Everyone else laughed, but it didn't last long as Yoruichi soon reappeared.
"Hello there," said Yoruichi.
"Oh, Mr. Yoruichi," Orihime gasped.
"Orihime, you know that talking cat," Ichigo questioned.
"That's not important," Yoruichi told them. "What is important, however, is that I'll be staying with you in your house from now on. Kisuke told me to keep an eye on you."
"Kisuke," Ichigo raised an eye brow. "You mean that man we saw earlier?"
"I'm afraid so Ichigo," Rangiku confirmed.
"Wait a minute," Ichigo started.
"I'm staying as your pet from now on," Yoruichi glared. "End of discussion."
Ichigo and Orihime went silent for a moment. Isshin appeared.
"Well if that's what you want Yoruichi," said Isshin. "But if you want to face Yuzu's wrath, don't blame me."
"What are you talking about," Yoruichi questioned.
Sometime later at Kurosaki Clinic, Yoruichi was being cleaned by Yuzu and didn't like it one bit.
"You're a naughty cat, Yoruichi," said Yuzu. "Yes you are, yes you are."
"This is so humiliating," Yoruichi thought.
Back in Ichigo's room, Ichigo, Rangiku, Orihime, Kon, and Momone were relaxing after a hard day. Fortunately, the wounds from the Hollow attack weren't serious and both Ichigo and Rangiku were able to heal quickly thanks to Yoruichi. At the moment, Kon was enjoying Orihime's comfort as she spoiled him by hugging him to her chest.
"Well, that could have been worse," said Rangiku.
"Worse, what do you mean worse," Ichigo questioned.
"Believe me, you don't want to know," Rangiku answered.
"I guess not," Ichigo agreed. "I just wish Orihime would stop giving that pervert exactly what he wants."
"Just be thankful that he's satisfied," Momone pointed out. "I'm satisfied that my teddy bear body has a nice ass."
"Don't get any ideas," Rangiku sighed.
The next morning, Orihime was seen sleeping in her bed, Kon sleeping in her cleavage, while Ichigo was sleeping in a comfy pillow. But once again, he woke up realizing that it wasn't a pillow he was sleeping in.
"Good morning Ichigo," Rangiku teased.
Ichigo jumped out of his bed and fell to the floor with a thud, much to Rangiku's amusement, waking up Orihime and the Mod Souls in the process.
"Is this going to be a reoccurring thing with you," Ichigo questioned.
"It's not my fault you keep putting you face in my chest while you sleep," Rangiku pointed out. "It seems that you keep putting your face in it while I'm just trying to sleep."
"Man, I'm so jealous of you right now, Ichigo," Kon complained.
"Oh shut up," Ichigo got back up.
"By the way Orihime, since when does your teddy bear have a mouth," Rangiku asked out of curiosity. "Last time I checked, it was mouthless and it had a big rip in its head."
"Oh that," Orihime began explaining. "Yesterday while in class, I asked a fellow classmate to fix my teddy bear. I don't know why he gave it that mouth though."
Elsewhere in Karakura, that classmate Orihime was talking about suddenly sneezed while twitching his glasses.
And that was chapter 5. So yeah, as I mentioned before, Ichigo and Rangiku's Mod Souls were Kon and Momone and this chapter was pretty much about them. Now as you can see, Orihime found them before Ichigo and Rangiku could, and of course Kon did molest her a bit. However, Orihime really showed the two the error of their ways and taught them to be better people. Also, Yoruichi has joined the party, mostly to keep an eye on them, though she might be regretting it thanks to Yuzu.
Now for those who are wondering, yes, the person who modified Orihime's teddy bear was indeed Uryu Ishida. Also, Kon and Momone are happening no matter what. Now the next chapter will focus on one of the series most beloved and underrated characters, Yasatora Sado, aka Chad.
Chapter 6: The Cursed Parakeet.
