Chapter 1: Ichigo and the Desert

Huh?

Where am I? Wait, what the?! Why the hell am I dressed like this?

Oh, there you are!

We were looking for you.

Why are you out here? Didn't I tell you we were having a meeting tonight?

And what's with these ridiculous clothes we're wearing?

I think our clothes are fine.

They're the same clothes we always wear.

You fall and hit your head or something, Chigo?

Chigo? Who the hell's that?

That's sad, even for you. What, you've forgotten your own name now?

What is this? What're you talking about?

I know my name! It's I-chi-go Ku-ro-sa-ki!

Yeah, right. Where'd you come up with that nonsense?

Let him get lost in his imagination for now. We need to start talking about our plans.

Right.

I've had my eye on this prize for a long time. I don't want to blow it. We'll have to move very carefully.

Don't worry. It'll be fine, Urio. After all, you came up with the plan.

Glad you're on board with it, Ori Mei. That's very reassuring. Right? Isn't it, Chaido?

It's time.

Right!

Let's go.

Wait, go where?! And what's with these names? Urio? Ori Mei? Chaido?

You wanna tell me what the hell's going on? Hey!
