Chapter 2: Follow the Voice

Ichigo... Ichigo...

Hrn... Huh?

Damn it! I fell asleep!

Huh? This is my...

Ichigo... Can you hear me, Ichigo?

Zangetsu! Where are you? Is something wrong?

Ichigo... I'm over here. Come.

Over where? I don't even know where you are.

What?

This is...Karakura Town.

Wait a minute. This is a dream.

Ichigo... I don't have much time. Hurry, come here.

But where do you want me to go? I mean, what are you doing, talking to me in my dream anyway?

You'll know if you come, Ichigo. Follow the directions and you'll find me.

I guess I have no choice but to go.

Ichigo...

Finally. There you are. What are you doing in a place like this?

I've been waiting for you, Ichigo.

What did you mean when you said you didn't have time? Did something happen?

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

Zangetsu?

Take your sword, Ichigo.

Huh?!

I challenge you to a fight. If I win, I will have you grant me what I desire.

What are you talking about?! You're not making any sense! What desires do you even have?

Let's begin!

You're strong, Ichigo. I admit my defeat.

I don't care who won or lost at this point. Tell me what's going on. What made you ask me for a fight anyway?

That's because-

Hahahaha! It's too early to let your guard down!

Hey.

You!
