12 Ch. 12 Mod Souls

Jotaro went home.

He opened the front door and went to the living room. His mom was sitting there watching tv.

"Hi JoJo" She tried to smile brightly but Jotaro could tell she wasn't feeling very good.

He goes and sits next to her on the couch. She puts her arms around his arm and rests her head on his arm as well.

"I'm home" Jotaro says.

"That's good. You were out pretty late today"

"I helped Ichigo, Rukia and Chad save a little kid"

Saiko yawns. "I'm so glad you're such a good boy"

"Do you want to get to your bed?"

"No, I want to stay here with you a bit longer" She missed her son and doesn't want him to leave if she goes to sleep.

"Did you take your medicine?" Jotaro looked down at her pale face. He subtly started using Kaido to help her as much as he currently could.

"Early this morning. But you don't need to worry baby. I'm already feeling better". Saiko forced herself to seem ok and Jotaro noticed.

Over the years Jotaro has tried to figure out what was wrong with her. But he couldn't figure it out. It wasn't because of him since he learned to suppress his spirit pressure to barely nothing since the first week Kisuke, Yachiru and Tessai began teaching him.

It wasn't a Hallow either. They like to play with their food but not over 15 years. They would get bored and hungry before then.

And it's something to do with her body. Because the medicine helps. So he will have to ask Retsu Unohana and figure it out from there. And if she doesn't know then there is one man who knows more than her. But he has no information on squad 0 besides they are too strong compared to the 13 captains. Or something like that. Basically Retsu's teacher.

Hopefully this can be solved before he has to go that far.

The tv is talking about explorers and he hears the Joestar name come up. They were talking about various people and that name stood out to him. But that was it, nothing useful besides that. He wonders why his mom was watching this. She usually watches whatever drama show is going on.

Jotaro watched the rest of the program but it did nothing but bore him. If you could do the things a soul reaper can do, the average things lose their appeal.

His mom had fallen asleep 15 minutes ago, so it was time to get her to her bed. They had 4 bedroom. Jotaro's, Orihime's, Saiko' and a guest room.

He picked her up gently and slowly walked to her room. It was late at night now, and he heard Orihime talk in her sleep. Something about red bean paste. Probably dreaming about her weird food combinations.

Jotaro pushed the door open. He walked her over to her bed and set her down. She looked so fragile in his eyes. She still looks young like she had when he was born and growing up, but she was going to look like skin and bones in 2 years time if he doesn't do something.

He made sure her head was on a pillow and pulled the blanket over her. He turned to leave but he heard Saiko say something.

"Where are you going…..Sadao? Why don't…..you stay and talk with….Jotaro…"

Jotaro turns back to his mother and sees that she is sleep talking. He gets to the door this time when he hears her again.

"He…needs a father figure…"

Jotaro stops in the doorway.

"You…would get along….He's kind and caring….just like you and his grandfather"

Jotaro closes the door and goes to the living room.

He shuts the tv off and is about to shut a lamp off but sees a piece of paper with a phone number written on it and 'Dad' above the number.

Jotaro takes his phone out and adds 'Grandpa' into his contacts. He will give him a call when he leaves for SoulSociety. He knows that trip won't be short and he needs someone here to watch over her.

He shuts the lamp off and heads to bed. That's when he realizes he hasn't touched any homework he's gotten this first week and it'll be due soon.

He takes 30 minutes to finish it all. The English was basic. Math was nothing. And the only hard part was Japanese history. That took 20 minutes.

He changed into boxers and went to sleep.

——————

The next 2 weeks nothing particularly happened. Ichigo took care of some basic Hollows and missed a lot of classes.

Jotaro would wake up, make breakfast for Orihime Saiko and himself. Go to school. Go to Urahara's Shop to work on his Kido skills. Then go home for dinner. He'd spend more time with Saiko while he can.

Jotaro was around the Ichigo's friends, but he would ignore them or briefly answer. They were getting used to his attitude. That was good and bad.

It was bad because it meant the girls were getting more bold in their approach to him. Jotaro would tell them off but they just ate it up. No matter what he did. This hasn't been a problem in middle school but in highschool it's very apparent. It's bizarre.

Yoruichi had been following him to school more often. She would lay on his desk.

——————

One day Jotaro was walking to Urahara's shop before school started. He had heard Rukia say she was going to the shop the next day.

When he arrived he saw Jinta and Ururu in the front sweeping. Well, Ururu was sweeping and Jinta was screwing around. When Jinta was about to put his broom on Ururu's head he stepped in.

"You touch her with that broom you'll become a scarecrow" Jotaro walked up to the small kid.

"Jotaro?!" Jinta jumped into the air a few feet and turned to face him.

"I-I ain't afraid of you! And you can't tell me what to do!" Jinta pointed his broom towards Jotaro's face.

"Do I really need to put you back in your place? I guess I'll have to teach you the packing order again Jinta" Jotaro was tired of this kids attitude. He had punched the kid after he was hit by his bat the first time when he was tricked by Kisuke. Damn kid thought he was the shit. Jotaro taught him he was literal shit.

"N-no. I'm good" Jinta starts sweeping, far away from Jotaro and Ururu.

"Thank you Mr. Kujo" Ururu bows slightly to Jotaro.

"Knock that 'Mr.' crap off. Can't stand that. Just Jotaro is fine" Jotaro stands with his hands in his pockets facing the shop.

"But…" Ururu is very polite and doesn't really stand up for herself. But she likes how confident and strong Jotaro is. He's like her role model. She also saw through his harsh words almost immediately.

"….thank you…Jotaro". She said quietly.

Jotaro walks towards the shop.

"Jotaro?" He hears a familiar voice. He turns and sees Rukia standing there.

"What are you doing here?" Rukia asks while she walks towards him.

"I work here" Jotaro walks towards the door and opens it, he walks inside.

"Well I knew that…" Rukia shakes her head and follows Jotaro inside, Ururu also follows her inside.

Tessai was walking past the door holding many boxes that were stacked until they reached over his head.

"Oh? Good morning Jotaro...Oh? And Ms. Kuchiki. Hello" Tessai sets down the boxes and greets Rukia.

"Please wait a moment. I will wake the manager" He holds up a hand to Rukia.

"So sorrry, I'm already awake" Kisuke walks in behind Tessai and yawns loudly, then he puts on his wooden sandals as he runs his eyes and walks to Rukia through the shop.

"Mornin' Tessai, Jinta, Ururu and Jotaro. And welcome, Ms. Kuchiki" He stands infront of Rukia and fixes his hat on his head. "We just happened to get new stock from there yesterday. What are you in the market for today?"

Jotaro picks up the boxes that Tessai set down and moved them to where they would be unpacked and stocked on the shelfs.

"Thank you, Jotaro" Tessai says as he unboxes the items.

"Whatever" Jotaro sets the last box down and also starts stocking the shelves.

"Any new Kido as of late? I'm still trying to understand your Kanzen'na Chikei Shūfuku. It's more complicated than I initially expected" Tessai had learned Jotaros Kido because he enjoyed new Kido and wanted to master and make as many as he could.

"None. Just repurposing old Kido" Jotaro was testing the limits of what each Kido can do. Also made a few techniques thanks to his 'experiments'.

"Hmmm. Interesting…" Tessai wonders what Jotaro was trying to achieve.

Jotaro hears Rukia's order and listens as Kisuke warns Rukia about her Gigai and becoming too dependent on it. She complains about not being able to move properly in it.

"Would you like Jotaro to give you a check up~?" He makes an 'ok' sign with his thumb and index finger as he talks in his carefree tone.

Rukia turns towards Kisuke and has a irritated look on her face. "Not necessary!"

Kisuke waves her statement away with his fan. "He's already seen everything before anyway~! He may even do it for free~"

An empty cardboard box smacks into Kisuke face. Kisuke falls to his back from the hit. "This was an empty box! How did you get so much force behind it Jotaro! And is that any way to treat your employer?!" Kisuke is still in his goofy mode.

"Is that how an owner treats his employee?" Jotaro stands up behind a shelf.

"I was merely offering your services to this fine repeat customer. You sure do have a way with the ladies, Jotaro~! Firs-"

"I said no! Can I get my items so I may leave?" Rukia was fed up with the act Kisuke was putting on. A light blush could have been seen for a few seconds before disappearing.

"Yes ma'am" Kisuke says flatly like he was caught with his hand in a cookie jar and was apologizing. "Ururu, go get them from the store room"

Ururu drops her broom as she runs to the back. "Yes, sir"

"It says 'New Goods' on the box" Kisuke tells Ururu as she runs past him.

Ururu comes back with a singular item wrapped in a cloth and hands it to Rukia.

Rukia takes the cloth off and inspects it. "This is the only kind you could get?"

Kisuke rubs the back of his neck as he stands up. "Don't say that~. Even that gave me a hard time. It IS second most popular. But more importantly" Kisuke switches his mode to serious in two seconds.

"You can't pretend forever" He looks at her from beneath his hat that cast a dark shadow over his eyes. Only his left eye could be seen and his bangs that went down the middle of his face between his eyes and above his nose.

"I know" Rukia is also serious and looks back to her new item.

"So damn annoying with all the mysterious shot going on" Jotaro removes his hat and brushes his bangs back before putting his it back on. "I'm heading to school"

"I guess it's that time already" Rukia says and also begins leaving.

"Have fun you two~! But not too much fun~, you're still in highschool~" Kisuke has a stupid smile on his face as he waved them off with his folded fan.

"Shut up, old man" Jotaro exits the shop.

"Bye Ms. Kuchiki, mr- i mean Jotaro" Ururu bows slightly as they pass her. Jinta has his hands behind his head and scoffs as they walk by.

It's early in the morning. Rukia walks beside Jotaro through the town. Not many girls are out, but the ones that are glare at Rukia and whisper mean things. Some don't even bother whispering.

"What's their deal" Rukia's eyebrow twitches.

"Who's" Jotaro doesn't look down at her but just looks ahead.

"All these girls. They're all acting strange, I don't think I've done anything to warrant such words from all of them" Rukia tries to think about what she could have done to get these reactions. It's just a random morning. Usually she's with Ichigo. Or even Orihime, Ichigo and Jotaro. Tatsuki sometimes as well.

But this is the first time this has happened. When she's walking alone nobody really pays her any mind. But with Jotaro....

She looks up at Jotaro and sees his sharp features and his giant build. And his delinquent look. Then she looks back to the girls around. They would first look at Jotaro with hearts in their eyes, then they would stare at Rukia with animosity.

"Women…." Jotaro closes his eyes and sighs. They act all nice and look pretty. But in reality most are ugly on the inside and are very cruel.

A girl with long purple hair and purple eyes, walks up to Jotaro and walks beside him on his other side. She's wearing their school uniform but is clearly from a higher grade.

"Jotaro! What are you doing out this early? Heading to school early as well?" She has her hands behind her and smiles at Jotaro.

But Jotaro doesn't spare her a glance.

"Have you thought about my offer? You could be part of the disciplinary committee for our school! I think you would look great with the armband on. Actually I think you would look great with anything on. Or nothing might be better…" She bites her lower lip and jumps on his arm.

Rukia stares confused at this strange girl. She hadn't seen anyone act so strange, besides Rangiku of course.

Jotaro takes his arm out of her grasp. "Leave me alone, bitch" He keeps walking and puts his hand back in his pocket.

Rukia continues next to Jotaro but looks back and sees the purple haired girl blushing madly. "Until tomorrow Jotaro baby~"

Jotaro's left eye twitches in annoyance. A week ago she had tried to get him to joint that stupid committee. But she only uses that as an excuse to talk to him and try to get ahead of the other girls. He can ignore them. But when they touch him it just pushes him over the edge.

"That's...interesting. Who is she?" Rukia thinks she has seen her before. But doesn't remember her. She already memorized the students faces and names in her class.

"She's one of the bitches that keep bothering me at school. Her and a bunch of other sluts" Jotaro uses his right hand to rub his eyes.

Rukia does remember a lot of girls crowd around him. It's hard for her not to notice since she sits right next to him.

"Hmmm…..I just figured that was normal for you" It had been like that quite often. During the breaks between classes some of the girls in class would watch him. And some from other classes would watch from the hall. She had read some manga where that happened and just figured that it was normal.

"Whatever" Jotaro wouldn't mind it if they weren't just after his body. But they all only liked what they saw and wanted him for it. That's something that really ticked him off. And it's worse because some of them try to be sincere but he can see right through them and see their real intentions.

Rukia and Jotaro get to class quietly after that incident.

Jotaro goes and sits in his seat but Rukia leaves in a hurry.

"Must be her pills or whatever for her Gigai" he whispers to himself"

A few minutes later Uryu enters the class. He's usually first. But he sees Jotaro in the back with his feet on his desk and looking out the window. Uryū just sits down and gets ready for the first class. He pulls out a book and holds it in his right hand and reads.

Students enter the class and greet eachother. When one of them greets Jotaro he just holds his hand up as a greeting and doesn't look at them. He's watching the clouds move and change shapes.

Some hours pass and Rukia finally shows up.

"Everyone~, Good morning~" Rukia says in her 'cute' high school girl voice as she smiles and slightly tilts her head to the side.

She gets greeted by the two perverts that are Ichigo's friends. They say she's glowing more than usual today or something equally weird.

Rukia covers her mouth with the back of her right hand in a 'dainty' way as she walks over to Ichigo. They say it's already third period and ask what she was up to.

"I had a family matter" Rukia replies and gets in front of Ichigo.

"By the way, Ichigo...do you have a moment?" She puts her hand down and looks up at him.

"Huh? What? If you got something to say, say it here…." Ichigo takes a step towards her.

Then all of a sudden Rukia rocks his world. But not in a good way. She sent her fist into Ichigo diaphragm. It looked like she might have even touched his spine.

Ichigos eyes widened as he felt his body get hit. He hits the ground like a sack of potatoes.

"ARE YOU ALRIGHT ICHIGO?! Oh no, you must go to the nurse's office" Rukia fakes her concern and drags Ichigo out of the room as he slides on the ground behind her.

Everyone watches this and sweatdrops.

"She hit him just now, right?" The mature woman lover asks.

"I didn't see" The other pervert with brown hair says. He likes Rukia for some reason and probably wishes he was punched instead.

Jotaro just shakes his head. At least that was amusing to watch.

Jotaro could see Rukia and Ichigo from where he was sitting if he looked straight down and back.

Rukia was stomping on Ichigos head as he held something. She seemed flustered.

"Oh, I forgot she liked rabbits" Jotaro remembers that Ichigo insulted the rabbit or something to piss her off. He just got the 'soul candy' that will put a replacement soul in his body and making him enter his Soul Reaper form. The replacement soul would take over his body while he goes mad takes care of Hollows.

Ichigo presses the weird ducks head and swallows the green ball that it dispenses. His body falls to the ground and he stands there in his Shihakusho and looks at his body. Rukia then points at his body as it stands up and salutes to them.

Rukia looks at her phone and drags Ichigo off somewhere, a Hollow has appeared in the town so probably to take care of that.

Jotaro sees the replacement soul wave the two off and then start stretching. Then Ichigo's replacement soul kicks the metal wall thing that was three feet tall and two inches thick. The kick destroys the metal nearly l in half.

Jotaro watches as he jumps over a teacher onto the roof of the building.

"Oh boy. At least I get to beat a human for once" Ichigo just look back to the teacher who was teaching history, his 'favorite' subject.

The bell rings and it's lunch time. Orihime jumps out of her seat and cheers.

Jotaro watches her and Tatsuki's skit as Orihime poses weirdly. He then sees Orihime take out bread and sweetbean paste.

Didn't he make her a bento this morning? And even added sweetbean paste to it just for her?

He then sees her take out the bento and gets ready to eat everything.

Jotaro doesn't know how she can eat so much.

That was a figure of speech. He know exactly where it's going. Maybe Tatsuki and Rukia can learn from her? They can use it more than Orihime at least.

Some other girls in the class join Orihime and Tatsuki for lunch. They put their desks together and start eating together.

Then Ichigo all of a sudden jumps to their open window, on the third floor. 'Tatsuki has a great shocked face' Jotaro thinks.

"This…is freshman class 3, right?" Ichigo then stands on the windowsill.

"Y-y-you there! How did you get up here just now?!" Tatsuki demands and points at Ichigo.

Jotaro stands up and stands at the side, ready to beat this idiot into submission.

"How? You saw didn't you? I jumped up. I'm amazing, right? You're shocked, right?" Ichigo gets down from the windowsill and stands inside the classroom now with his hands in his pockets and his shoulders relaxed. He just seems like Ichigo's alter ego or something.

"He probably just came from the window next door" A random guy said.

"No, he jumped from the ground!" A different dude said.

"You saw it?!" Random guy 1 asked

Ichigo smiles brightly and then turns his head to the side. "All the guys AND girls in the class have their eyes locked on me. They must all be thinking I'm incredible. This is great!"

He looks at the class and everyone is talking and looking at him with shock and curiosity. Except for two people. One is standing at the back with a neutral face and his bangs covering his right eye, That would be Chad.

And the other guy was just as tall but more muscular than the other. And he did NOT look happy to see him. His usual neutral expression was there but his eyes were narrowed at Ichigo. He was to the side near him.

'But man, the girls in this class are hot' Ichigo says in his mind. Every single one is above average. I've been locked away a long time" Ichigo starts to breathe heavily through his nose as he checks the girls out. Then he spots Orihime…..and her assets. And he immediately is smitten. 'XXXTRA LARGE!' His eyes turn to hearts and he goes and tries to grab Orihimes hand and put his arm around her.

But as he's about to touch her his hand is grabbed instead. He looks at the hand, and then the arm, and then to the body it's connected to. He saw Jotaro glaring at him.

"What's your deal tough guy?" Ichigo says. Jotaro just tosses Ichigos hand to the side.

"What, can't talk? Do I just intimidate you that much?" Ichigo tries to mock him but Jotaro doesn't stoop to his level.

"Are you trying to hog all the babes to yourself or something? Can't you at least spare one?" Ichigo switches his tactics.

The girls don't react well to his words. They are visibly disgusted, well, some of them are. Most seem to agree to his words actually.

"I don't give a damn who's skirt you go chasing. But Orihime is off-limits until you get your head on straight" Jotaro doesn't like the look on Ichigo's face, it looks more punchable than usual.

"Well then what about her? Now that I get a better look at her she's actually kinda cute" Ichigo points at Tatsuki. Now the girls all scream in unison and have a terrified look on their faces.

"Why you!" Tatsuki goes to punch him but he just catches her hand.

"No need to get so violent. You looked more beautiful when you weren't trying to punch me" Ichigo then is about to kiss her hand when Jotaro grabs his face. He picks him up and then slams his head into the floor.

"Tatsuki is off limits as well, dumbass" Jotaro let's Ichigos face go. He wipes his hand off on Ichigos shirt. He didn't want Ichigo saliva on him. Frickin was going for a slobbery hand kiss.

The girls watch as Jotaro did this. They saw it in slow motion. He was like the night in shining armor.

Ichigo jumps back to his feet quickly.

"The hell man?! What was that for?"

"Ichigo, what's gotten into you?" Orihime asks.

"I've just realized how gorgeous you are is all" He tries to get close to Orihime.

But then Jotaro steps in front of him.

"Dude, stop cock blocking" Ichigo steps up to Jotaro.

"It's not cock blocking"

"Then what would you call it"

"I'm protecting my classmates. And you don't have a cock so it can't be called cock blocking" Jotaro points at Ichigo.

"Oh yeah?! I'll teach you!" Ichigo jumps into the air as he delivers a round house kick towards Jotaro's jaw.

But he's surprised when Jotaro blocks it by just using his left forearm.

Ichigo lands back on the ground and looks at Jotaro.

"Weak" Jotaro looks down at Ichigo who is now fuming with anger.

"I'll show you weak!"

The entire class goes to the back of the class to get away from the two delinquents.

Ichigo sends various kicks at Jotaro who just uses the backs of his hands to redirect the kicks away from himself. Ichigo isn't even trying to use any technique, just randomly attacking.

"Damnit! Why are you able to block everything!"

Ichigo then kicks straight towards Jotaro's stomach. Jotaro grabs Ichigos ankle with his left hand.

"Whoopsie" Ichigo says. But then he smirks and lifts his leg higher into the air. He uses Jotaro's hold of his leg to support himself as he jumps and kicks Jotaro in the stomach as hard as he can.

Jotaro takes the his and holds onto Ichigo's leg. Ichigo is basically standing horizontally looking at Jotaro who didn't even blink at the kick.

Ichigo sends a weak smile to Jotaro. He tries to get free but isn't able to as he lands on his one foot back on the ground.

"I'm sure we can talk this out like men, right?"

Jotaro raises his fist into the air and starts raining blows down on Ichigo's face.

"Ora Ora Ora!"

Ichigo is able to dodge the first but is caught by the following 9 punches. After the first hit him he fell to the floor due to the momentum. But Jotaro let go of his leg and grabbed Ichigos collar as he tried to recall what his name was.

He landed blow after blow. After the 9th punch he let him go. "Are you done?" Jotaro stands up and looks at Ichigo who has marks on his face.

Ichigo stumbles to his feet. "You're…kinda….strong. I'll give you that. But are you faster than me!"

Ichigo tries to run into the hall but finds Rukia at the door as soon as he gets there. Ichigo's eyes widen when he sees her.

"That's enough!" Rukia says loudly to the replacement soul in Ichigo's body. She see's Jotaro standing to the side and she also notices the marks on Ichigo's face. "You…." Ruki looks into the worried face of Ichigo.

The replacement soul books it over to the window. But as soon as he gets there Ichigo in his soul reaper form appears. The only people who can see him are Rukia, Jotaro, and replacement soul Ichigo. As well as Uryu.

"Come on, nowhere to run" Ichigo climbs inside the classroom. Both Ichigo's face eachother.

The replacement soul looks at the 3 people cornering him. He smirks at soul reaper Ichigo and starts sending kicks his way.

"You….I mean, me….why?" Shinigami Ichigo catches 'his' leg that nearl kicked his head and asks. But then immediately gets kicked by the replacement souls other leg.

This makes Ichigo let go of the leg. The replacement soul then proceeds to repeatedly kick Ichigo in the ribs. And his kicks aren't light either.

To everyone in the class, Ichigo looks to be fighting the air. But he definitely is kicking something it seems. Or he's fucking crazy.

The replacement soul mops the floor with Ichigo. He ends up kicking Ichigo into the desks and send them flying. Nobody sees Ochigo but see the desks go flying. People scream in fear. All the desks in a line from the front of the class to the back of the class are knocked over.

Orihime seems to notice something when Ichigo moves a desk off himself but she can't see it.

The replacement soul smirks at Rukia. "See you later!" And he proceeds to jump out the window. He thinks he's getting away but when he looks behind him he sees Jotaro also about to leap out the window. But he's preparing to jump downwards with force to catch the replacement soul.

Jotaro jumps down at the replacements soul and grabs him by the back of his head. "Let go!" The replacement soul knows that a fall from this height would be devastating if he lands on anything but his feet.

Jotaro holds the replacement soul vertically and also gets ready to land. They both hit the ground on their feet and let the impact lessen by bending their knees and practically squatting to the ground. Ass to the grass basically.

"Phew~" The replacement soul releases his breath.

"Don't sound so relieved yet" Jotaro slams him face first into the dirt. And then lifts his head back up. "Run" Jotaro let's him go as he instills fear into the replacements souls bones.

Ichigos body starts taking off at great speed. He would have laughed at Rukia and Ichigo as he got away. But seeeing Jotaro's figure keep up with him was not a fun sight. 'A man that big has no reason being this fast' the replacement soul thought.

"What the hell's going on? What the heel are they….." Ichigo sees them both getting away at great speeds.

"He couldn't be…." Rukia seems to realize what the replacement soul could be. "No, without a doubt. He's…a modified soul!"

Ichigo jumps out the window and pursues them, leaving Rukia at the classroom window. Rukia sprints out of the classroom leaving all the other students behind. They don't even know what to think of what just happened. They saw Ichigo and Jotaro jumps out the third story window and don't know how to come to terms with that. And the fact he survived and ran at Olympic level speeds to them.

Rukia catches up to Ichigo but he had already lost track of Jotaro and the mod soul.

"You've go a moratorium" Rukia says to Ichigo as he looks around the abandoned building they are inside of.

Ichigo whips around and points at Rukia. "What? This ain't the time for incomprehensible jokes! I've gotta be…I mean… you saw the chaos in the classroom too, didn't you?" Ichigo starts freaking out about what the mod soul made his body do. "I…I mean… He used my body and…he tried to beat Jotaro in front of the entire class….and failed miserably! He even tried to give those fools Orihime and Tatsuki a k..k..k.." Ichigo couldn't believe it.

"Kisses, it looked like" Rukia flatly tell him.

"Ahhhhh! Don't say it, idiot!" He flinches and cringes when Rukia bluntly said it. "It's too embarrassing!"

Rukia closes her eyes. "A kiss is nothing more than a greeting. It's nothing serious" she then opens her eyes as her serious mode switches to her knowledge from various books mode. "In the book I was reading the other day, even more shocking things were happen-"

"Dont compare this to that!" Ichigo shouts. "Kissing an ordinary classmate is freaking HUGE! What the hell kinda books are you reading?! Ahhhh!" Ichigo grabs his hair as he freaks out. "The image I took years to build up is gone!"

Rukia walks further into the building. "He… had created an image?" She looks at Ichigo and isn't looking where she's walking.

"Rukia" Jotaro's voice comes from in front of her. Rukia whips her head around and sees Jotaro in his Shinigami attire and his buster sword on his back.

"When did you get here?!" Rukia moves back a step.

"Did you lose my body? I mean…the 'mod' soul that took my body?" Ichigo asks worriedly.

"No, my own replacement soul is chasing him around" He sees Ichigo visibly relax. The Jotaro looks down at Rukia. He bends down to look at her face at her level. He gets closer to her face. "If kisses are a greeting and aren't serious, why are you blushing? Idiot"

Rukia was slightly blushing as Jotaro's face got closer and closer. After Jotaro finished talking he stood back up. His expression not changing at any point.

"Wh-It-Damn you Jotaro" Rukia was angry and shaking her fist in anger as she resisted the urge to punch him. He would probably just dodge or block it anyway.

"What even is a modified soul?" Ichigo gets serious.

Rukia turns around and also gets serious as she explains what a modified soul is. "Once, in SoulSociety, a plan called Spearhead was brought up. Into the soul-less body of a dead person, a soul specialized for battle was injected. And it was to be used as an anti-Hollow soldier. It was a worthless plan"

Rukia sat down on the ground and took out paper and various colored markers and started drawing. "For that plan, what they developed was…. a battle-ready soul…. designed to be able to endow some part of the body with superhuman power… just by injecting it"

She shows her drawings to Ichigo and Jotaro.

"No rabbits" Jotaro mutters.

"And so what?! I like bears too…" Rukia looks at Jotaro who was leaning over her shoulder.

"Continue" Jotaro tells Rukia.

"Ahem! That's what a modified soul is. You understand so far right, Ichigo?" She flicks through her papers with drawings.

"Yeah… though 'cause of those drawings, the moment's tension is all gone" Ichigo can't take the drawings seriously.

Rukia clocks him on the top of his head with her fist. "Actuall, because of the inhumanity of making dead bodies fight…. Spearhead was rejected. And simultaneously, all the modified souls in development at the time were ordered to be scrapped. But who knew there was one left" She looks at her drawings as she speaks.

"Which means what?" Ichigo crouches down beside her. "He was created for the SoulSociety's convenience… and erased for the SoulSociety's convenience?"

"That's one way of looking at it" Rukia agrees with him. Because that is what technically happened.

"And you're satisfied with that?!" Ichigo is shocked by hearing this confirmation.

"The issue's not being satisfied or not. Mod Souls have to be scrapped. That is the law of SoulSociety. And don't forget… SoulSociety's laws…. Are laid down to protect humans' souls. Now let's go!"

"Not necessarily Rukia" Jotaro stands up since she's done drawing.

"Huh?" Rukia has a confused look on her face.

"Some of the SoulSociety's rules can suck my dick" Jotaro starts walking out of the building.

"How dare you! The rules are there for a reason!" Rukia stands up. She's infuriated by what he just said.

"Not all of them, Rukia. The SoulSociety can be corrupt just like every other form of government"

"How do you know?! You've never even been there! And you aren't even an actual Shinigami! You're just a human playing pretend and fucking around! You just have nothing better to do!" Rukia didn't mean to go that far. But she was furious.

"So what?" Jotaro stops.

"Huh?" Rukia expected him to just walk off in silence.

"I save people and kill Hollows. Who cares what I am. And there are rules the SoulSociety has just to keep Shinigami in line. And to keep those in power above the rest. I bet they don't have rules for themselves, or the rules are more lax for them"

"Even s-" Rukia stopped talking when Jotaro disappeared. He just used Shunpo to end the conversation.

"Rukia…" Ichigo doesn't know what that was about.

Rukia calms down and puts her serious face on. "Let's go, you want to get you body back don't you?"

Rukia and Ichigo say nothing as they exit from the building and start searching for Ichigo's body.

——————

Jotaro appeared in the air above Ichigos body and his own. They were standing on a fence of the middle school watching 3 boys talk about deleting a videogame character just because he wouldn't do as he was told. This didn't sit well with the mod souls at all.

Just as Ichigo's mod soul was about to kick the kids Jotaro stopped the kick with his right hand. The kids were scared and one even pissed his shorts.

"Let's talk. Mod Soul" Jotaro releases the leg he was holding.

Ichigos mod soul jumps back. "And why would I want to do that? So you can just buy time for the other 2?!"

"No. There's a Hollow nearby so they have to go deal with that. So while we have time let's get out of the middle school" Jotaro jumps to the roof of the nearby buildings.

"Tch" Ichigo's mod soul clicks his tongue and follows Jotaro. Jotaro's mod soul follows behind.

They get to the roof of a building with fence around the sides.

"So you've already met Kai" Jotaro motions to his body with his chin.

"Yeah. He's not much of a talker, but I got that much out of him" Ichigo's mod soul closes his eyes and folds his arms across his chest. "I thought I was the only one to survive. Guess I was wrong…thankfully" He whispers to himself.

"Name" Jotaro states.

"Huh?"

"Name, dumbass. Do you have one" Jotaro has his hands at his sides

"O-of course I have a name! I..the names Kon!" He shouts to Jotaro.

"Ok, Kon. I'm not here to take you away and destroy you. You have a soul, and you technically haven't done anything bad yet"

"You won't? Then why chase me?" Kon was confused.

"To get you away from Ichigo and Rukia. They most likely won't have you destroyed either. Ichigo has a good heart and doesn't like it when innocents get hurt"

"What about that short girl?" Kon didn't know how to feel about the situation. He was ready to run at a moments notice because he doesn't trust Jotaro. But he does also have a mod soul as well.

"She….is confused. She's a Shinigami from SoulSociety but her views are changing as she continues living here. She also won't have you destroyed"

"Hold on! Too much is happening at once! First I finally get a body, then I find another like me, and then this! Just hold on!" Kon stomps his foot on the ground to vent a bit.

"Fine. But you may want to consider something" Jotaro points at the school. "Would you let those kids die to a Hollow?"

"What?" Kon looks strangely at Jotaro.

"The kids that deleted their character. Would you let them be killed if you could stop it"

"This damned kids? Hah, of course…..why would I care about th-" Kon feels a Hollow appear back at the school he was just at.

"At least you were hones-" Jotaro stops talking when Kon starts running back to the school.

"Idiot" Jotaro shakes his head. Kon is just as stubborn as Ichigo is. As soon as he realized those kids were actually in danger he ran off to save them.

Jotaro just watched from afar with Kai as Kon and Ichigo destroyed the Hollow.

"Told you there were others that survived" Jotaro stood beside Kai who was inside his body currently.

"Hmph. It's still hard to believe" Kai had been told by Jotaro that he wasn't the last one. He had already given up hope of there being anyone else. He even pretended to be a regular Soul Candy until Jotaro figured him out.

"Are you done being depressed finally. My offer still stands to not keep you in my pocket all the time"

"I don't know yet. Maybe" Kai watches Kon and Ichigo bicker as Kon is dangling over the side of the building. And then as the two talk.

"Kon is like you, Kai. He doesn't want to harm others. But he's willing to help those he doesn't know, maybe spending time with someone like him will help you. Someone like you, but more naive. You are older than him. You can be his big brother"

"Shut the fuck up. Why do you always get talkative when it comes to this shit. But…. I guess it wouldn't hurt" Kai feels like he may not be so lost anymore. But only a small bit.

Kisuke appears behind Ichigo and Kon. The whole thing between Urahara and Rukia goes down. Basically Rukia plans on keeping Kon and Urahara says that they will be going into hiding if anything happens.

Rukia and Ichigo walk away after Ichigo goes back into his body.

Kisuke and his staff besides Jotaro leave. But not before Kisuke winks at Jotaro.

"That bastard. He knew this would happen. Well, after Ururu messed up that is. He would have actually destroyed Kon though if Rukia and Ichigo didn't save him" Jotaro watches Ichigo and Rukia walk away from the school.

Kai and Jotaro follow the two as they walk towards Ichigo's house. Jotaro spots a cat plushie on top of a garbage pile and can't help but think that this is plot convenience at its finest. He picks it up and holds it as he continues the walk. Kai hadn't even noticed.

They see Ichigo shove the soul candy into the lion stuffed animal's mouth. Then the thing starts moving around.

"Holy shit. It really does work. How did you know that Jotaro?" Kai looked at him with surprise all over his face.

"I just did" Jotaro enters his body and spits out the Soul Candy into his hand. In his other is the cat plushie, which he puts Kai into.

The cat plushie was about as big as Kon. It was bipedal with two legs and two arms, a head and cat ears. But unlike Kon. The head wasn't large. It was proportional to the body.

"When did you even grab this" Kai stretches his new body.

"On our walk here" Jotaro then put it in his bag but let it poke out so they could continue talking. Kai wasn't complaining so Jotaro took that as a sign.

"It's almost the anniversary of his mother's death" Jotaro doesn't remember dates, but he remembered this one more than his own birthday.

"June 17th. Every year the Kurosaki's go to Masaki's grave. I think I'll join them this year" Jotaro has been to her grave, but not with them.

"I'll protect the town while you three are away" Kai says as he moves around in the bag.

Jotaro just looks at Kai who is already acting 'happier'. Kai also know the town needs someone to save it. He also doesn't want to go on that drama show of a trip.

"It's also about time I get used to fighting again. Your body is just ridiculous, you know" Kai couldn't believe the things he could do while using Jotaro's body. He would also be able to boost its durability and strength, but even without his mod soul powers it was strong.

"I'm aware" Jotaro then heads home.

Kai walked around his room for the night in the plushie body. Jotaro thought about the following day and about how Rukia would be going back relatively soon. But at least Grand Fisher will be killed tomorrow. If not by Ichigo, then he himself will.
