Author's Notes: I have realized that it is very difficult to write a story whn you don't have any idea where the story is supposed to go. I promise I will try and wrap this horribly written story up as soon as I can and start on something planned out with at least some planning beyond the first chapter.

The Path of the Soul

Chapter 5:Special Movies

"Are you sure we should be doing this?" Tomoyo asked. It seemed like cruel and unusual punishment, but that did not stop her video camera from capturing every second of it.

"I am sure it will be fine." Eriol replied with an evil grin, "And after you can do the stuffed animal so that they match." This idea Tomoyo liked. Dressing up a stuffed animal was fun, dressing up a boy in Sakura's costumes – just creepy.

Tomoyo's cellphone rang. "Tomoyo speaking."

"Hoe! You alright?"

"Hai! I am at Eriols house right now… He wanted me to make a movie for him."

"Tomoyo-chan!…" Tomoyo suddenly realized what Sakura must think of what she had just said.

"Not that kind of movie!" Eriol made as if he were going to make some lewd sarcastic comment, Tomoyo quickly clamped her hand over his mouth before he could say anything. "See you tomorrow Sakura-chan."

Ichigo raced through Tomoeda in search of his body. He would kill Kon if he had let anything bad happen to it.

"Ichigo – 8:45a.m Hit by a car in front of his school." Light muttered as he scribbled it in an empty space in a page of the notebook of death. Once it was finished, however, the writing faded until it was gone. "Whats going on? This has never happened before." He looked to the shinigami beside him.

"This is strange. Usually those guys are very organized about their activities." The Shinigami replied, "The only time this happens is when you try to use the notebook on a human that is disconnected from their body."

"Kaijuu, you are going to be late." Touya called just in time for Sakura to come bounding down the stairs and stomp on his foot.

"I am not a monster!" She grabbed the toast set out for her breakfast and held it by the corner with her mouth. She met up with Tomoyo at their usual spot, blissfully ignorant of Ichigo's spirit spouting obscenities at her.

"Tomoyo, what happened to the body of that weird guy from last night?"

"Oh, the stuffed animal's spirit was hitting o me so Eriol took the spirit out and we dressed it up in some of you old costumes and videotaped it." Tomoyo smiled, "Some of the older ones were really small and"

"Shield!" Ichigo's soul cutter was stopped inches away from Tomoyo with a loud clang that she could hear.

"What was that?" She asked, looking around for whatever might be attacking them.

"Your new model, I think he wanted to approve the wardrobe before starring in your movie." Sakura giggled and led Tomoyo towards school, "Perhaps we should get his body back for him…"

"After school!" Tomoyo exclaimed, "right now we are late!" She ran towards the school, dragging Sakura behind her.

Ichigo was ticked off in a big way. His body was with some pervert who liked to dress men up in women's' clothes, and instead of telling him where to find it, they were ignoring him. He hovered over them all the way to school and into the classroom. He felt the immediate cold stare of the other kid from the night before. Then there was the boy in the chair beside Li. He was even more unnerving. He gave the impression that he could see Ichigo, but all he did was smile and greet Sakura and Tomoyo. Sakura whispered something to Li and motioned towards the other boy. Li looked towards the other boy, then back at Ichigo, then started laughing. The other boy must be Eriol. Ichigo thought, the boy they had been talking about earlier.

"Where Is My Body!" Ichigo demanded, but the boy just continued smiling as hs pencil rolled off his desk. He bent over to pick it up, and a photo slipped out of his sleeve and onto the floor. It showed his body in a dusty old mansion, wearing a frilly pink miniskirt and a pink and white top with a bare mid-riff. Both were several sizes too small.

"Oops," Eriol said innocently, "we wouldn't want that to get out, now would we." He picked up the picture and put it into his pocket. This boy obviously had something planned, and it was going to involve blackmailing him.

"Why would a soul leave its body?"

"Spiritual power of some kind, maybe he can do far seeing or ran into someone who can manipulate souls," the shinigami took a bite of an apple, "maybe even interference of those guys in soul-society."

"People like him can be immune to the book's power, there must be a way to force him into his body… He, and those like him, must die for order to be maintained in the world."
