Chapter 2: To the Meeting Point

So, where are we going today?

They're having an event at the shopping center.

We're gonna go hang out there today!

What sort of event? Is some celebrity gonna show up?

Now, don't be surprised. It's actually...

Ah.

A Hollow...

Ichigo? Chad? Is something wrong?

Uh, well, umm.

Oh, crap! I forgot! I have to do something real quick!

Chad, do you think you can help me?

Yeah.

So, uh, we'll catch up with you as soon as we can. You guys head over there first.

What?! Wait, Ichigo! No, Chad!

Awwwwwww, are you serious?

They seemed to be in quite a rush. I wonder what happened.

Huh?

Did Uryu just run past us?

I think so. It looked like he was in a rush, too.

He went running in the same direction as Ichigo and Chad.

I wonder if there's something going on over there.

Who knows?

Ichigo, I know you have to become a Soul Reaper for this, but what are you going to do about your body?

Oh, that's right.

I guess I can hide it, but I can't think of a good place around here.

And Kon's at home, so...

What the?! Ichigo?!

Hey! What are you doing here, Kon?! You snuck out again, didn't you?!

I-I just had this sudden impulse! I didn't mean it! Please forgive meeeee!

Isn't it actually a good thing this time?

Oh, I guess you're right.

I'll let it slide this time. Take care of my body and don't do anything stupid.

Yeah, got it!

I'll be right back as soon as I defeat the Hollows. You better stay put!

Hah!

Alright, that should be the last one.

That was pretty fast. Thanks for coming, Uryu.

A Hollow appeared, so I came to defeat it. That's the only reason I came.

Can't you just accept the compliment?

Well, we should head back now. Keigo's gonna start making a fuss if we're late.

Yeah.

Oh, oh, oh! Me too, me too! I wanna go, too!

If you go, then I won't be able to go.

Of course you can! Are you saying my perfect body is too heavy for you?!

I won't be caught carrying a stuffed animal on me! That's just way too weird!

Hey, there you are!

Taking your time, I see! What are you all doing here anyway?

Oh, you're here too, Uryu?

Uh, yeah. I just happened to run into them over there.

So? Are you guys done with whatever emergency you had to take care of?

Yeah, we're done, but... Uh...

Then, let's go! Come on already!

Uh, wait, but...

Uh oh.

Stop!!! Wait!!! Noooo!!!
