Chapter 1: A Peaceful Day?

Ichigo, we're leaving! Take care of the house, okay?

Yeah. You girls be safe out there.

Well, then.

Now that everyone's gone, I should finish up my homework while I still can.

Ichigo!

What the?! Oh, it's you, Yoruichi.

Just because you're in the comfort of your own room doesn't mean you should let your guard down. You'll be attacked from behind.

Who would attack me in my own room?

Me.

Why would you do that?! Anyway, did you need something from me?

Oh, right. Come with me, Ichigo.

Uh, I'm about to do some homework right now. And I'm supposed to be watching the house.

You can do your homework later. As for watching the house, have Kon do it.

Come on! Get your butt moving!

Ow! Hey, stop that! Your tail's like a whip!

Do you want me to use my nails, then?

Seriously, why?! Alright, I get it! I'll go with you. Happy?

Hello there, Ichigo. I've been expecting you.

You're not the one who had business with me, Yoruichi? What's going on here?

You see, I'm having Kisuke make me a new set of armor. To test out its durability, I wanted to use it in battle. So I want you to be my opponent.

I'm counting on you, Ichigo!

No, thanks.

Now, Ichigo. Don't be so quick to refuse. It's been peaceful these days, you know? You need a bit of exercise to sleep well at night.

It's more than just a bit of exercise! I know I'll be beyond tired after this. That's why I said I don't want to do it!

Quit complaining and get ready to fight. Or else you're gonna end up having to fight me unarmed!

What kind of abuse is this?!

Fine! You want a fight? I'll give you a fight!

Ugh, it's already night time. This is why I shouldn't have agreed.

I want to finish my homework, but... *Yawn* ... I'm too tired to think right now.

I'll take a short rest...and then...I'll...
