Chapter 1: A Sudden Invite

You want to check to see if I can control my Hollow powers? Why all of a sudden?

I wanted to make sure you're not being careless with those powers.

There's no need to worry about that.

Tsk, tsk. That thought right there is already something for me to worry about.

So here's the plan. Come see us at our place on your next day off.

And no ditching allowed. See ya!

Hey! Don't I get a say in this?!

Hello? I'm here just as I promised.

Who the hell's bugging us now? Oh, it's Ichigo. What are you doing here on your day off?

I mean, seriously. Can't you give us some space? This isn't a playground, you know?

Listen, I'm here because Shinji told me to come. He said he wanted to make sure I can control my powers.

Huh? He didn't tell me anything about that.

Hey, Ichigo. Glad you made it.

What the hell, Shinji! Don't just go and decide on doing things on your own, baldy!

Gahhhh! Stop that! I told you not to hit me in the butt!

And I did tell you about it! You just weren't listening.

If the message didn't get across, it's just as meaningless! I bet you said it while I wasn't even here!

Hey, uh... If all you're gonna do is bicker, can I just go home?

Hold on! You're the cause of all this! You're not going anywhere!

But it was Shinji's fault, wasn't it?!

I'm home! Huh? Ooh, Carrot-Top's here!

Is something the matter?

Hey, Shinji, explain this to me. Why does it seem like I'm here because I want to be?

It just goes to show that no one listens to me when I'm talking. Ugh, what a bother.

I'm the one being bothered here. So, where are the other guys?

Hey! I've been waiting for you to get back! Did you get me my Shonen Jump?

And my sexy magazines?

This one's for Love, and this one's for Lisa.

Thanks!

You guys never change.
