Uryu's Secret?!

Hmm. Where am I?

Is this...Hueco Mundo?

Why am I in Hueco Mundo? Wait, how come I'm in my normal clothes?

There's no way I could come here looking like this, which means...this is probably a dream.

I wish I could have gone somewhere nicer if I knew I was going to be dreaming.

Huh? I hear something loud coming closer. Is it some sort of earthquake?

I don't have a good feeling about this.

Ichigooooo!!!

Oooooooohhh!!!

We missed youuuuuuu!!!

Ahhhh!!!

You guys really need to learn to control yourselves!

Ichigo, Ichigo, Ichigooooo!

It's a miracle! We were literally just talking about you not a moment ago!

When I saw you, I knew it had to be fate!

You were talking about me? Did you have something to tell me?

Uh huh. We're actually in quite a dire situation right now.

We were all playing here.

But since it's just the three of us...

...Nel started getting a little lonely. Isn't that right?

Flat out bored, actually.

Ichigo, will you play with us?

Why do I have to?

If I play with you guys, I can see myself being really tired when I wake up.

Huh? What are you talking about?

Oh, I get it. You're trying to be mysterious and say things to catch our attention!

That's not it!

Anyway, you should play infinite chase with us.

How about this? We can even add one more element of fun for our needy friend Ichigo here!

The extra rule is, if you get caught, then we get to strip off your clothes!

Now that's a thrilling game!

Are you serious? You've got to be kidding!

You better start running, or else we'll catch you and take off all your clothes!

Ahh, damn! Damn it all!

Here we come!

*Pant* *Pant* Wait! Time out!

Whaaat? You're giving up already?

What a wimp!

Looks like someone's been slacking on their training these days.

You guys...

Well, since you lost, now you have to go completely naked!

Alrighty, Ichigo! You just stand right there!

And we'll strip off all your clothes until you're in your birthday suit!

Wait, no! Stop it! Don't pull on my pants like that!

Come on, I'll do something else instead!

Boo. You're so selfish, Ichigo.

Well, if it can't be helped. It's not like we would have actually enjoyed seeing your little thing anyway.

That's true.

I wish you'd cut that out.

Nel wants a new cape!

A cape?

A fluffy, poofy, warm cape is what Nel wants!

Ah hah. Since we are the winners, we should be getting a prize for our victory. That makes sense!

Yeah! You need to give us a cape!

Why would you think I'd carry a cape on me? Can't you see I don't have anything?

How dare you argue with us! You're just trying to make us forget that you actually lost!

That's really not it. I just don't have any capes on me.

No more excuses! We are the winners, and you are to provide us with a cape!

I said...! Will you listen to me?!

How could this be? Did I really...lose?

Give it up already. I don't have a cape. Don't you see?

But you always have a bunch of fluttery cloth when you're dressed as a Soul Reaper!

Aha! That's fine observational skills right there! That means you do in fact have a cape!

That's not a cape. It's a Shihakusho, the Soul Reaper uniform.

What Nel wants is a new cape! Not Ichigo's old clothes.

I'm not sure that's the nicest way to put it, but as long as it makes you give up on that thought.

Huehuehue. No, not yet. It won't end yet!

Huh?!

I've just made it a rule that this is a best-out-of-three match!

Right now, we've won once and you've won once, which makes it a tie! Our next match shall be the deciding factor!

Ready, everyone? Let's all get him at once!

Why does it have to be like this?!

Yaaaaayyy!

Yahhhhhh!

I'll get you your cape, Nel!

Waaaaaahh?!

Ahhhhhh!

Ah...it's just a dream. No, that's right, it's a dream.

Wow, I'm tired.
