Chapter 3: Whereabouts

Those grocery bags... Were you shopping, Captain?

Yes, they were whining about not having enough bananas. Geeze.

You sure have it rough too, Captain.

Um... I'm sorry to intrude, but could we hear the rest of it?

Rest of what?

They were asking me where Ichigo and the others are.

Are you also aware of their whereabouts, Captain?

Yes, they're all at Orihime's house.

Orihime's house? But I can't seem to get a clear hold on their Spiritual Pressures.

You'll know once you're there. Here, bring them these bananas while you're at it.

Y-Yes, sir.

Oh my! Rukia, Chad, and even Renji are here! Welcome!

Orihime... Oh, hey! You all came at the right time! Come on in!

Ichigo! Uryu! What's going on here, Orihime?

These two are always working so hard, so we thought we'd show our appreciation by cooking dinner! We're making a vegetable stir-fry!

Oh, that's right! For some reason, it's getting a bit watery.

Then, let's make soup instead!

Good idea! You three should get your bowls ready too, okay?

You know, however much I'd looove to stay, I've kinda been told by Kisuke to clean the warehouse!

Lieutenant Rangiku! I have some bananas from Captain Hitsugaya! Sadly, I have business to take care of as well.

I have plans with friends, too.

Aww, it's too bad you three are busy. Hope you come eat with us another time!

Look! The soup's almost done!

Looks yummy! Here you go! Eat up!
