Meanwhile Orihime runs into "Ichigo" & "Chad"

Orihime strolled down the busy streets, a smile on her face as she clutched a bag of her favorite bread from the local store. The sun's gentle rays caressed her skin, adding a warm glow to her already radiant expression. It was just another ordinary day, or so she thought.

As she turned a corner, Orihime's eyes widened in surprise as she spotted Chad and Ichigo standing together. Excitement bubbled within her, grateful for the unexpected encounter with her friends. Little did she know, beneath the surface, things were far from ordinary.

"Orihime-chan!" Chad's voice echoed as he waved at her, but it was different, lighter, almost feminine. Orihime tilted her head, her brows knitting together in confusion. There was something off about Chad's mannerisms today, a touch of gracefulness that wasn't usually present. She couldn't quite put her finger on it.

“Chad-kun?” she approached Ichigo and Chad with light steps. “Umm, is something wrong with you? You sound kind of… feminine today.”

And it might have been just her imagination, but suddenly Ichigo and Chad looked really panicked. “I – uhh, no! I mean… Chad here is practicing… for a drama play! Yeah,” Ichigo grinned, looking really flustered. Truth was – they were not Chad and Ichigo at all, but rather Rangiku’s soul inside Chad’s body, and Yoruichi’s soul inside Ichigo’s body. After their wild sex session in Urahara’s shop, Rangiku and Yoruichi had headed out with a mission to locate Chad and let Rangiku take over his body. When they were finally successful, Rangiku had had a delightfully fun day exploring Karakura town – until they finally ran into Orihime. In her delight to see Orihime, Rangiku had forgotten that he was inside Chad’s muscular body, and instead referred to her in a feminine manner. Of course Orihime was intrigued by the stark difference, luckily, being the naïve that she was, Orihime believed Yoruichi’s not-so-convincing lie.

“I see!” she clapped her hands together. “What kind of drama is it?”

“The princess and the frog,” Yoruichi said the first thing that came to her mind. She slightly nudged Rangiku, signaling her to make the lie more convincing. “They decided it will be interesting if Chad explores a feminine role, you see.”

“Wow! I will be looking forward to it,” Orihime chuckled. “Tell me when the drama is, I will come watch!”

“It’s uhh…,” Rangiku **** her brain to think, but it was getting more and more clear that they were bluffing. Only Orihime would be innocent enough to believe them. “Actually we… are going to rehearse the lines at Ichigo’s house,” Rangiku flashed a quick apologetic grin to Yoruichi for this sudden improvisation. She needed to distract Orihime, and she was running out of ideas. “Would you uh… come with us?”

Orihime blushed, her cheeks tinted with a rosy hue. The invitation to hang out at Ichigo's house made her heart skip a beat. She had never been asked to spend time together in such an intimate setting before. With a shy smile, she nodded and replied, "Yes, I would love to come. But, umm, is Kurosaki-kun okay with it?"

Yoruichi in Ichigo’s body quickly responded, trying her best to mirror a mix of embarrassment and eagerness in his voice. "Yeah, of course! I mean, I don't see why not. It'll be fun, right?" He glanced at Rangiku in Chad’s body, who gave him a mischievous wink. And so, the three of them made their way to Ichigo's house, laughter and light-hearted conversation filling the air. Orihime's steps were light and her smile radiant as she walked alongside her friends. The anticipation of spending time in Ichigo's personal space filled her with a mix of excitement and nervousness.
