Chapter 4: Where Have They Gone?

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

Uh, who are you? Where did Zangetsu and the other one go?

I am Zangetsu.

Huh? What are you talking about? This dream is getting way out of control.

Come on. Stop messing with me and tell me where they went.

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

Hey! Wait up!

If you wish to know, then follow me.

Damn it!

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

Finally! I've caught up with you!

I need you to tell me where Zangetsu went. And who are you anyway?

What did you mean by saying you're Zangetsu?

Take your sword, Ichigo. I will answer your questions if you can win against me.

Ugh! Again?!

There, I won. Now, answer me!

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

Huh?!

Hey. Quite a victory, wasn't it?

You! And Zangetsu! Where were you guys?

Will you ever stop asking so many questions? We've been here all along.

You weren't! That's why I was looking for you!

Never mind. Just tell me what it is that you want. What are these desires?

I mean, it has to be a big deal, right? You came all the way out to my dreams just to fight me.

Our desire...is in regards to the scenery.

Huh?

I've grown bored with your internal world.

Uh, I'm not sure what you're trying to get at.

Just take a good look at it. This is your own inner world we're talking about here.

It's all buildings and no greenery. I want to see forests. I long for the grandeur of nature.

I can plant a garden or something. I mean...if that's even possible.

I demand a house with a garden and a garage.

I wouldn't mind having a dog or a cat.

And it better be a purebred!

You can't be serious!

Don't be so greedy. Anyway, I'm gonna wake up, all right? I can't believe you guys came out in my dreams just for this.

You think we're being greedy?

We will challenge you as many times as it takes until you give us what we want. Are you sure you want that?

No way!!!

Phew... I'm glad it was a dream.

I must've been really tired. That's the only reason why I would have such a weird dream.

Ichigo... Do not forget our promise, Ichigo...

?!?!?!
