Soul Reapers' New Year: Chapter 1

Wait, Tessai! That box is gonna go over there.

And while you're at it, can you take this one too?

............

Ururu! We're busy here. What are you doing?

Um. What do you think this is?

Oh, that's a vacuum cleaner.

A vacuum cleaner? That round thing?

You'll be surprised to hear this. All you do is press a button, and it goes and cleans the entire house on its own.

I thought it might help us with this cleanup, so I went ahead and bought one for us.

That sounds amazing. Let's see it work.

No, Yoruichi! Don't sit on the button!

Nyaahhhh?!

Wh-Wh-What is this thing, Kisuke?!

Ahhhh! It moved!

There it goes...

Ururu, Jinta! Go chase after it!

Alright, got it! Let's go, Ururu!

Hmm, looks like the coast is clear.

Geez, why do I always have to sneak out of the house like this?

It's all because Ichigo left me all alone and went shopping with Rukia.

Ichigo, it looks like we ran out of trash bags.

Alright, I'll go buy some. The usual kind, right?

Mmhm. And can you get some miso while you're out? I was planning to use it for dinner.

Sure. I'll head out now.

Wait, I'll go with you.

You don't need to come. I'd rather you clean up whatever you brought home with you that's inside the closet.

Don't tell me you got tired of cleaning. Is that what this is about?

Wh-What makes you think that?!

I thought you could use a little help, so I offered to go with you!

Quit complaining and let's go! Hurry up!

Hey, wait! Rukia!

Yes! Now's my chance to hide that mmhmhm and this hoohoohoo stuff while they're gone.

I guess I'll just leave Ichigo's clean laundry here.

............

Huh? Bostov! What are you doing in Ichigo's room?

(Why is she here? And why the hell didn't she knock, dammit!)

Let's get you all clean for the new year, too.

(Don't do it! Don't come near meeeeee!)

This year-end cleaning thing is stupid!

How dare she scrub my perfect body with plain old soap?!

And not to mention, it's freaking cold. I guess it is winter, after all.

I'm gonna freeze to death without some bouncies to warm me up. Oh, come hug this soft, lavender-scented body of mine.

Ururu! Did it go that way?

No, not over here.

Aw, crap. It's those kids from Urahara's Shop. Huh? It looks like they're looking for something.

Oh, over there!

Out of my way!

What the hell?!

Move, please.

Ow, that hurt.

What was that for, you damn brats?!

I told you to get out of my way! We're gonna lose sight of it!

What are you talking about? Hey, wait up!
