Chapter 1: Observing Club Activities

See you later, Orihime!

Okay! Have fun at practice!

Will do.

What do Tatsuki and the other students do after school every day?

Huh? You mean club activities?

It's where you get together after school with other students who like to do the same activities as you. There's soccer, basketball, a brass band, and a bunch of other clubs too.

Do you want to check them out to see if any of them spark your interest?

Ooh, yes! They'll let me do that?

Sure, I'll take you to go see the handicrafts club first. I'm a member there.

Great.

Oh, can I come with you? I want to ask Uryu to see if he can fix Kon for me.

It's terrible, my sweet Rukia! My pretty ears are nothing but eye-sores now and-

What the hell?! Kon, when did you sneak into my bag?!

I thought I told you to stay at home!

Ow, ow, ow! Stop that, Ichigo!

Don't even think about coming out right now!

Who cares about that? Hurry up! Let's go check out the handicrafts club!

Well, I suppose this should do.

Wow! Your needlework skills are amazing, Uryu.

Especially the way you used the lace. I-It's very cute. I like it.

Isn't it?! Everything Uryu makes turns out really cute!

You think so? I'm glad you like it.

You see, there's a technique to sewing on lace. Just watch.

Ahh... Hmm...

I get it!

Uh, are you sure? I mean, well... Your fingers look a bit bloody.

Yeah, leave this to me.

Ichigo, give me Kon. I'll fix him right up.

Well, I don't mind, but are you okay with it, Kon?

Uh, I really like you, Rukia. Don't get me wrong. But I think for something like this, I might prefer Four-Eyes to do the work, you know?

Don't be so shy! Come on!

Wait, Rukia. I'm kinda serious about it, actually. Hey, listen to me, will you?

Noooo. I caaaan't!!!

Hey! Wait up, Kon!

I lost sight of him.

He's really good when it comes to running away.

Oh, I think it's almost time for Tatsuki's club to finish up their training.

Sorry to cut this short, Rukia, but I promised Tatsuki I'd walk home with her.

I'm heading over to the karate team to meet her there. Would you like to go check that out too?

I suppose that's an option. Sure, let's go.
