1-5...

Oh? Hello!

Nice seeing you here, Ichigo and Rukia!

Hey, Orihime. What are you doing here?

Hehehe. Just a little bit of shopping for dinner.

How did you get that bruise on your leg?

Oh this? I probably just tripped over something.

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

Oh no, look at the time!

Ichigo, Rukia, I'll see you later! Bye-bye!

So then, that girl, Orihime was it? Are you close to her?

Eh, not really. I barely know her and we don't really talk much. But she's friends with a buddy of mine from the neighborhood, so I see her around. Although...

Around three years back or so, her older brother, Sora, was in this terrible accident and died at our clinic.

What?

He was in a car wreck. He was the only family she had.

I'd never realized that she was the girl I saw crying that day. I only found that out just recently.

So, why do you ask? You seem really interested in her.

It's nothing.

Anyway, let's go home.

Speaking of which, where do you always go home to?

You really want to know?

I guess not.

Then don't ask me.

Ugh... Yeah, right.

Hey, Ichigo? You haven't seen my dress have you?

Yuzu, come on. Knock before you come in here. And I don't know where your dress is.

Why do you feel the need to ask me about every little thing? Do I look like I care?

Kay, I guess I'll keep looking. Good night!

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

*Beep Beep Beep*

Hmm, an order?

Ah!!!

*Beep Beep Beep*

What the? Huh? Huh?

Hey, Ichigo!

What the heck?! What are you doing in there? Is that my sister's dress you got on?

I'll explain later. We've got orders!

Orders? You mean a Hollow's about to appear? Where?

Here, and now!

Roaaarrr!

You have to aim for its head! Ichigo!

You're mine!

Graahhhh!!!

It's getting away. Let's go!

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

Ichigo, what's the matter?

Something's not right. I got a look at that thing's face.

And it was Orihime's dead brother!

What are they? What are Hollows?

The Hollows were once souls of human beings no different from anyone else.

What?! Then you mean, all those monsters I've...

Did you expect me to kill him now? There's no way I could do that.

You have to do it. If you don't kill him, he'll wander around forever.

Grh...

Wait, you aren't the only one in danger.

Orihime, his sister!
