Prologue

It was a beautiful sunny day. The sun was shining and the flowers were blooming. Fluffy pillows shaped like cute animals scattered the clear blue sky. The grass illuminated a luxurious velvety green colour and the slight breeze whistled against the majestic oak trees. Underneath the shade covered by lengthy branches, a teenage girl with a bright smile plastered on her face happily enjoyed tracing the clouds with her finger. She had long flowing hair, which shone a bronzy hue with two blue clips pinned to the side.

"Oh dear, that one looks like a carrot. And that one looks like a spiky sea urchin. Wah...that one's shaped like a...a..." Orihime's eyes were sparkling with joy. Then, it turned into a look of utter confusion. "A STRAWBERRY?" Orihime found a post-it flying in her direction. It was shaped like a strawberry, falling down and ultimately landing on her face. She quickly sat up and read it.

Orihime-chan,

Please come see me for a cup of tea.
I have something I would like to discuss with you.

Urahara Kisuke

P.S. Ichigo will also be here.

Orihime furrowed her brows. Ever since her return from Huenco Mundo, she rarely saw Urahara but if he was asking her to come for a cup of tea, there must be something going on. Orihime quickly gathered her stuff and ran to Urahara's.

When she made it to Urahara's front door, she saw Ichigo walking towards the shady shop as well.

"Ohayo Kurosaki-kun!" Orihime chirped. Ichigo returned a slight nod. Together they made their way into Urahara's place. It was piled with candies in all shapes and colours. Orihime scrunched her face at the sight of a vomit coloured one.

"You're here." Urahara's voice carried from behind the dusty untouched shelves. "I got something I wanted to discuss with the two of you. Come join me for some tea." Urahara motioned towards a short wooden table. Ichigo and Orihime wondering what important matter they were going to discuss, did as they were told.

Urahara motioned towards Jinta to bring the teapot. Jinta rolled his eyes and grunted with annoyance. He reached towards the cupboard and brought out three tea packets. They were brightly labelled. Two of them were called Venus & Mars while the other one was called Rooibos. Jinta knowing Urahara's favorite flavor, held the Rooibos in a seperate cup and prepared the tea. He brought it out to the table where the three people were seated.

"Thank you Jinta." Urahara poured the boiling water into each cup and handed one each to Ichigo and Orihime. He slowly sipped his Rooibos tea. "Drink some tea. It'll warm you up." Orihime and Ichigo gave him a funny look.

"Hey Clogs, in case you haven't noticed, it's sunny outside. Why the hell would I wanna drink tea?" Ichigo said. Orihime who thought it was impolite to refuse, followed Urahara's action. She slowly drank the cup of tea. It resulted in a wierd fuzzy but pleasant feeling. Her stomach slightly gurgled.

"Well, we have other matters to discuss." Urahara dismissed Ichigo's question. "The reason I called the two of you is because I was inventing these new soul transfer items and I would like some..."

"If you're trying to ask us to be your guinea pigs, forget it." Ichigo rolled his eyes. "Why not use Jinta?"

"Well the reason, I asked the two of you is because I need a pair of human beings who share a physical connection and an internal connection. If my sources are accurate, I'm aware that Orihime-chan has an exceptional reiatsu detection for Ichigo's spiritual pressure. That connection probably magnified to a tenfold when you travelled to Huenco Mundo and performed a hollowfication to protect her. The two of you now share a bond unlike any other pairings I know of."

"Like Harry Potter and Voldemort?" Orihime asked. Urahara smiled.

"Just like Harry Potter and Voldemort."

"Well, that's interesting but you're missing something." Ichigo scowled. "Inoue and I might share an internal bond but we don't have any physical connection to each other." Urahara's expression was difficult to read.

"I see. Well that's too bad." Urahara returned a mischievious smile. "Well Ichigo, it's never too late. You can just simply kiss her or if you want, I can lend you a room." Orihime's face turned pink. Ichigo's was firey like a volcano seconds before eruption.

"You pervert! We're nothing like that!" In Ichigo's anger, he took a swig of the cup of tea to calm himself down. In return, he felt a wierd fuzzy but pleasant feeling. His stomach slightly gurgled.

Suddenly, the room flashed a blinding light and momentarily Ichigo and Orihime collapsed. Urahara shielded his eyes from the light. As fast it came, as fast as it went. The light disappeared without a trace and the two light-haired teenagers got up.

"What happened?" Orihime said. Her eyes turned wide and she grasped a hand over her mouth. She scowled and turned towards Ichigo and suddenly shouted. "What the ** happened?" Urahara's eyes also widened. He never heard sweet Orihime-chan swear like that. Ichigo on the other hand, looked as if somebody erased his eyebrows and replaced them with a different one. Instead of his trademark scowl, in place were a puppy expression.

"Oh dear." Was all he said.

"Yo Hats & Clogs, what the fuck did you do to us?" Orihime continued to scream at Urahara. Urahara's mind suddenly caught on to the situation. There was only one person in the world who called him Hats & Clogs. Urahara laughed heartily.

"Ichigo?" He spoke after calming himself down. Orihime's face returned Urahara a scary scowl. Urahara coughed and stopped laughing.

"Urahara-san, why am I in Kurosaki-kun's body?" Ichigo's mouth spoke with his doe-eyes sparkling with fear. "And why is Kurosaki-kun in my body?"

"Well, it seems like we just managed to experience a soul transfer." Urahara said pleasantly while sneaking glances at Orihime's face. He coughed back an another laugh when it was returning him a death glare. When he caught Ichigo's googly brown eyes, he couldn't help himself. Urahara burst into a fit of laughter.

"Clogs, you better be able to fix it." Orihime's voice was deadly and Urahara felt the iciness. He immediately stopped his laughing and folded his hands on the coffee table.

"Well, that's what I was trying to figure out." Orihime's eyes narrowed at Urahara's response. "I don't have an antidote yet." When Orihime suddenly stood up, Urahara quickly recovered. "Give me a month! I think I can figure it out by then." Ichigo's face suddenly looked uncomfortable. "Okay okay. I'll try to figure it out in two weeks."

"Actually Urahara-san, it's not that." Ichigo's voice was soft. "Uhmm...you see, I..." Ichigo's face paled. "I have to go to the bathroom." Ichigo's face was completely red. After hearing this, steam poured out of Orihime's nose.

"You better make that one. Got it, Clogs?"

Urahara just returned an uneasy smile.
