The Halloween Society: Chapter 2

Is this really just a dream? This place looks just like Karakura town, and it all feels so real.

What are you doing? Stop looking around at everything and start walking.

Ow!

Stop treating me like I'm your prisoner or something!

What are you all doing here?

That voice... Is that you in there, Renji?

I didn't recognize you inside that mummy outfit.

Wrong.

Eh?

I'm not a mummy. I'm a pirate!

Huh?

Once upon a time, not that long ago, I was a pirate who sailed the seven seas.

Back then, I was afraid of nothing. I believed the world was my oyster.

But I was constantly being harassed by my arch-enemies, Team Seaweed!

Seaweed! Seaweed! Seaweed!

A fierce firefight broke out between our two ships, until finally...

Now that you're at my mercy, shall I tell you the difference between you and I?

It's class.

I carry the wounds on my body from that day, and that's why I look like this!

That makes no sense at all! And what's Team Seaweed? I've never heard of it!

Will you stop it, Ichigo? It's quite ungraceful of you to pick on someone who's injured.

And Renji, if you had been drinking milk every day, just like me, you wouldn't have gotten so terribly beat up.

You're just complicating the situation here!

So, where are we having this meeting? It doesn't seem like we're getting any closer.

It's still a distance away. Keep walking, and walk faster.

Gah! I said, stop poking me!

And by the way, what are you supposed to be dressed as?

S'cuse me? You can't tell? I happen to be a succubus.

Huh? What the heck's a succubus?

Allow me to explain.

They're dream demons. The kind of demons that ruin men. They appear as lovely women with bat wings on their backs.

In many cases, they target men ahead of time, and attack them in their sleep. Once the men have no way to escape, they proceed to seduce them, and then they go and suck out their life energy.

Hey, Rukia. Come to think of it, you are a succubus and you've been jabbing at me with your fork the whole time. What's the deal?

Forget it! I've known you a long time. Why would I seduce you?

I only use my skills on certain people. They have to be both noble and beautiful to get my attention!

For example...

...someone like my older brother.

Okay, that's it. You're being weird.
