That pretty much clears everything up, damn the Anime. XD

Thanks a bunch there, anphorus. Just one more question, what would happen if Rukia was left in that Gigai and actually turned into a human? I know this is probably taking a wild guess at it, since we don't have enough information at this point, but maybe you know something more than me, from reading the Manga. Anyways, do you think she would age normally as Ichigo would, and/or would still have her Death god powers and would have to be turned into "Spirit Form" to become a Death god, like the process that Urahara did with Ichigo by hitting him on the forehead with the end of the cane?

Also, to get more on topic, what do you guys think the deal is with Urahara? According to this episode, it seems as if he betrayed Rukia, not caring if she turned into a human and lost all her powers, but only thinking about fully concealing the Hougyoku within her. What do you think will happen when the crew finally returns to the human world? Will they look at Urahara as an enemy, or will he tell them some kind of story that will allow them to forgive his sort of "betrayal" towards Rukia?
