Chapter 2: The First Shopping Experience

Here we are! This is the shopping street!

I know that. I've been here before.

You could at least say thank you! Be nice to me!

Oh, whatever. Come on, let's go. Oh, hey, Nozomi!

What? Did you find what we're looking for?

These caramels are really good! We have to buy these too!

That's not on the memo.

Who cares about the memo? I'll share some with you later, 'kay? Let's buy them!

............

You guys are on your own? Where's Ichigo?

Hey, Chad! Ichigo's over at Clog-Dude's place.

I thought everyone was invited to get together. You're not coming?

I was planning to go after I finish up my own errands. What are you two doing here?

We came to buy some ingredients that Orihime forgot to get. I was worried to let Nozomi go by herself, so I'm here to supervise her first shopping experience.

Don't mock me, pervert. I can do this on my own. You can go home already.

You didn't have to punch me like that! Hey, wait up! We're supposed to buy these caramels!

You can do that yourself, pervert!

Hey! The market's not that way!

Are they really gonna be okay?

Stupid Kon. Not only is he using my body, but he's using my wallet like it's his own too!

Uh... Why are you hiding in the shadow?

Since I switched to my Soul Reaper form, I thought I'd come check up on Kon and Nozomi.

*Hollow* *Hollow*

Can't say I wasn't expecting that either.

Need help?

Yeah, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks, Chad. Weren't you busy with something?

There's no rush, so it's fine. I'll come to Kisuke's place later. See you there.

All right, see you later. I'm gonna go back to checking up on those two.

Are you like their parent or something?

What else did you need to buy?

I'm done already.

Oh, you are? Then let's go back and meet up with Ichigo and the others!
