Soul Reapers' New Year: Chapter 3

Damn Yuzu. She should've put together a list so that I could get everything at once.

People only realize how important something is after it's gone. That's just how life goes. You can't help it.

What's with the serious life quote? We're just talking about not having enough tonkatsu sauce at home.

Those who do not work shall not eat. It's only an errand. Quit complaining and be helpful.

You really need to man up. I can't reiterate this often enough.

Get off that high horse of yours.

On a different subject, I haven't seen Kon around since noon. Is he out somewhere?

Oh, now that you mention it, he wasn't there. Why does he keep wandering off on his own like that?

Guess we'll go find him while we're out.

Hey, Ichigo, Rukia. You two out shopping?

Yeah, Yuzu needed me to get some stuff.

Why are you out so late, Orihime?

I ran out of curry powder while I was cooking soup, so I went to get some.

Then on my way home, I found Yoruichi on this vacuum cleaner stuck behind a telephone pole, so I thought I'd go drop them off.

You really saved me there, Orihime.

Yoruichi! Yeah, I did see the poster earlier.

How dare you forget about me? Don't you care about your friends?!

I happened to jump on this vacuum cleaner, and it decided to run away from the shop. We wandered all over the shopping center...

...until it ran out of power and suddenly stopped moving. It was a disaster!

Sounds like quite an adventure.

Yoruichi! We were so worried about you!

You sure don't look like it! I know, Kisuke. You put up those posters and gave up looking for me after that!

Kisuke, I'm leaving the vacuum cleaner here.

I hope it's not broken. It cost me quite a bit. You can't play around with it, Yoruichi. It's not a toy.

I see you were more worried about the vacuum cleaner than you were about me.

Oh, come on. That's not true.

It's getting late. We should go home, Ichigo. Orihime, you too.

Be careful. It's already dark outside.

Do you want us to walk you, Orihime?

Huh?! No, don't worry! Your sister's waiting for you, isn't she? I'll be perfectly fine!

Rooooooaaaaarrr...

Another Hollow!

Good thing we stayed with you. Things could've been bad. Good job taking care of them.

These Hollows really need to take a break. It's the holidays.

I don't think Hollows care if it's a holiday or not.

I'm just saying. Anyway, let's go home.

Sorry for making you walk me home. Thanks a bunch, you two.

It's nothing, really. Anyway, good night, Orihime.

Later.

I'm glad this year is ending on a good note. Hehe.

By the way, Ichigo.

What now?

We never went to go look for Kon.

Oh, I forgot.
