"You have to win a tag game against me!" Yachiru chirped as she threw Ichigo to the air just to catch him like a ball, she continued to this for a while, her laughter muffled the sound of Ichigo's yelling, she only noticed he didn't like being used like a ball when she saw her swollen cheeks, looking like he was ready to puke.
"Oops! Sorry Icchi, got too carried away!" age said as she slowly lowered his to the ground, giggling as she saw him placing a hand on a wall, desperately trying to make the world around him not spin anymore, but for the hand on his mouth it was clear he wasn't winning that fight.
"Feeling drowsy? Don't worry Icchi, I'll count up to ten and then we'll start playing! That way you'll feel way better!" Yachiru chirped as she covered her eyes and started counting.
Ichigo hadn't heard a word she said, still feeling drowsy he walked a few clumsy steps, almost falling to the ground, only managing to stay on foot thanks to placing a hand on one of the Seireitei, trying his best to compose himself but he couldn't, falling to the ground as he tried to walk away from Yachiru.
"3...2...1! Now where's Icchi?" Yachiru asked as she uncovered her eyes, eager to catch the substitute shinigami, but her excitement faded away when she saw him practically standing next to her, with his hands on his knees and puking on the pristine ground.
"Tag you're it!" she yelled, still wanting to beat him in a game he was clearly not playing, Yachiru didn't seem to remember the little fact that their bodies had been swapped, which lead the now tiny shinigami to fell to the ground, barely missing the puddle of puke, "Icchi?" she poked him only to hear some mumbling coming out of him, "Hmm, you're no fun! You're supposed to run after me!"
Ichigo still gave no verbal answer, he reminded still on the floor, Yachiru crossed her arms as her cheeks began to inflate, how could Icchi be so lame! They should be having so much fun right now but he still didn't move, "That's it!" Yachiru yelled, "If you don't get up right now I'm calling Ken-chan!" she waited for any kind of answer coming from Ichigo but he still didn't move, maybe she shouldn't have treated him like a ragdoll.
"Fiiine..." the not so little lieutenant sighed as she thought what to do with Ichigo, maybe she could take him to the Shinigami Women's Association meeting she had to attend today, after all she was probably going to test the remote on them before running into Ichigo, also she couldn't wait to see their reaction when they saw how cute Icchi-chan looked, so she picked up Ichigo's unconscious body and ran to the Kuchiki Manor.
---
Nanao couldn't help but smile, a smile she tried to keep to herself, trying her best to disimulate how happy she was for Yachiru's unexpected absence, for once she would be able to do her job as Vice-President and allow the Shinigami Women's Association to do something productive!
"Well, due to President Kusajishi's unexpected absence, I as the Vice-President, would fullfil her role as President, any objections?" she ask, her heart filling with joy as she saw the women of the association were minding their won business, Nemu reminded emotionless as sat next to Nano, Rangiku was talking about her drunken misadventures to Rukia who seemed to be feeling a mix between pure disgust and utter boredom, or at least that's what Nanao could tell by the grimace the young Kuchiki was showing, Isane, not wanting to hurt her sister's feelings, was nodding along to Kiyone's latest tale of her obsessive competition to win Captain Ukitake's heart, while Yoruichi was getting a massage from her former protégé.
"No objections then?" Nanao asked, taking the association's indifference as an absolute win, finally they were free from that little girl's tyranny! "Well ladies, the first item on the list is-" and just as Nanao's dreams were fulfiled, they were cruelly destroyed as the room's door was kicked open.
"Here's Icchi-chan!" a familiar high pitched voice said as a tiny figure was thrown thrown to the middle of the room, immediately getting everyone's attention.
"Pr-president Kusajishi?" Nanao shrieked as her dreams were squashed away, but for a moment she ignored that, the Yachiru in front of her wasn't the one she remembered, the tiny lieutenant wasn't tiny at all, nor was she a girl for what Nanao could tell, tall and with braid shoulders, a burly body that didn't fit her tiny head, "What happened to you?"
"Well well, what do we have here?" Yoruichi asked in a playful tone as she signaled Soi Fon to Stop her massages, calmly walking to the tiny body and grinning as she saw it was who she thought it was, Ichigo, she wasted no time and immediately picked him up by the armpits and holding him like a trophy, "Oh just wait till Kisuke hears this"
"Ichigo?" Rukia asked as she got up, her eyes wide as plates, not believing what she was seeing, her friend's head somehow attached to Yachiru's body, while she was shocked at first once she processed what was in front of her she started laughing, "Hahahaha! Now who's the short one Ichigo? Or should I call you Ichigo-chan now~" she chirped as she pinched one of his cheeks, she had to stand on her tiptoes to reach him thanks to Yoruichi holding him up bit it was worth it.
"Uh?" Ichigo's drowsiness started to wore off, he didn't felt sick anymore but he wasn't sure where he was, the world still seemed a bit blurry to him, but once the image had some definition he wished to be throwing up, somehow Yoruichi was holding him while Rukia was pinching his cheeks, like he was a baby! "Hey you two Let me go!" he yelled, uselessly trying to kick Yoruichi's hands away.
"Awwww, he's so cute, can we keep him?" cooed Rangiku, her tales of unhealthy sake consumption could wait, now she just wanted to tickle Ichigo.
"I'm not a pet!" he yelled, his anger only growing as the curvaceous shinigami started tickling him, "Staph! Staph!"
"Heeheehee, I knew you would love Icchi-chan! And I as the president of the Shinigami Women's Association declare Icchi-chan as our official pet! Yay!" Yachiru said, but no one seemed to pay any mind to her, everyone had their eyes glued to Ichigo, everyone but Nanao and Nemu.
"Wait a minute!" Nanao yelled, she wasn't going to lose her position so soon, specially when there was a way to remove Yachiru from this meeting, "You have no authority over us, don't you see you can't be a member anymore? You have Ichigo Kurosaki's body! Which mean you're not entirely a woman anymore, which means you can't be a member of the association!" she pointed at her, smiling as she saw Yachiru pouting after hearing that argument.
While Yachiru was devastated by the news and Nanao was silently celebrating, Nemu just took a look at the two head swapped shinigamis and immediately knew what happened, one of them had stolen one of Mayuri-sama's inventions, and not just any invention but the head swapping prototype.
"Remember Nemu" the words of Mayuri-sama's came back to her, "If someone steal the prototype, don't eliminate them, observe them and the, just then, report back to me and I'll see if they're worthy to be my test subjects!"
"She can stay" Nemu said in her characteristic monotone, she saw the shocked expression on Nanao's face, but before she could argue against it, Nemu shut her up, "President Kusajishi named be acting Vice-President in our last meeting, therefore I'll be filling the President position until she returns to her normal state"
"What!?" Nanao fell to her knees as she heard that, seeing how her struggle was lost, the members didn't seemed to care about the shift of power, and to pour salt on the wound, Yachiru didn't bother to look at the defeated Nanao, she just yelled "Yay!" as she ran to the circle of women surrounding Ichigo.
"Since Icchi-chan is out mascot we should dress him up! He can be the face of the new calendar!" Yachiru said, her proposal was quickly followed by a series of nods, sending shivers down Ichigo's spine, what did they mean by dress him up?
"A bunny costume! He would look so cute!" yelled an excited Rukia, practically jumping up and down as she imagined Ichigo becoming the living embodiment of Chappy.
"No, I think a cat costume would be way better, don't you agree, Ichigo? Remember the first time you saw me in my normal form?" Yoruichi said, a smirk growing on her face as she saw Ichigo's face getting pink, remembering how he had lost his innocence that day, "Awww, that's exactly the face you made that's day, it's settled then!"
"What's going on here!?" a shout echoed through the room, the women and their tiny victim turned around to see someone who rarely showed to the association meetings, the Supervising Chairwoman, Captain Retsu Unohana, and get frown indicated she wasn't pleased by the current situation, Yoruichi only needed to see the old captain's eye twitch a little to know she should let go off Ichigo before something went wrong.
Retsu walked to Ichigo, placing a hand on his shoulders and dedicating him a caring smile that had no similarities to the one she was about to show moments ago, "I do not know what happened to you and Lieutenant Kasajishi, but since this a shinigami women's meeting, I'll kindly ask you two to leave"
Ichigo didn't need to hear that again, he bolted out of the room before anyone had a chance to disobey Unohana's orders.
