Chad

(That reminds me, when we first met...)

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

Ichigo

So, you new around here?

Chad

I'm transferring into Mashiba Junior High today. Class 2-F.

Ichigo

You're the same age as me?! Wait, that's my class! Talk about coincidence!

(He was bleeding from his head, so I jumped in to help.)

Ichigo

People like me who stand out tend to attract the hate. You too, right?

Chad

Huh?

(From the very beginning, Ichigo's eyes told me he was an honest guy.)

Ichigo

Well, we should get going, Chad.

Chad

It's Sado. You sure you can stand?

Ichigo

You don't like the name "Chad?" I think it's kinda cool. It's like Dominic Chad.

Chad

Uh, who is that?

Ichigo

You don't know him? Then what about Chad Smith?

Chad

Don't know.

(From that day, I became "Chad"...)

Ichigo

You're incredibly strong, so why would you just stand there and let those punks whale on you like that?

Chad

The thing is, I made a promise that I would never use my fists for my own sake.

It's a vow I made to Abuelo.

Ichigo

A-wah? Is that a name?

Chad

Abuelo means "grandfather."

*Clink*

Ichigo

What is that medallion thing you wear around your neck anyway?

Is it valuable?

Chad

Absolutely. Probably worth more than my life.

High School Student

Now, what did you say? Something about this being worth more than your life?

Then if I take it away from you, you might as well be dead, right?

So then, die, loser!

Doh?!

Ichigo

Heh, whaddya know?

Chad

Ichigo...!
