I don't want to hurt you, so... don't come near me anymore.

I walk around the World of the Living and sigh. I'm so bored! What to do, what to do...I wonder to myself. I keep walking, not really paying attention to my surroundings. Suddenly, I run into someone and fall to the ground with a thud.

At the same time, we yell, "Hey! Watch where you're...!"

"Oh, Ichigo! Sorry, I wasn't paying attention," I say as I scratch the back of my head.

"Yeah, no kidding..." he mumbles and gets up. He holds out his hand to help me up, "Are you alright?"

I take his hand and get up, dusting myself off, "Yeah I'm fi-..." I stop mid sentence and smile, "Hey, its been a while since we've sparred. Wanna have a go at it?"

"Huh?" He asks. "Oh, I don't know..."

I frown, then shrug, "Alright then. By the way, how are your injuries?"

"They're fine I guess." He uses his Substitute Shinigami Badge to get out of his body, "But, it has been awhile." He smiles and takes out his over sized zanpaktou, Zangetsu.

I smile, "So you are willing to fight me! Just don't blame me when your injuries get worse!"

"I case you didn't know," He says while I'm getting out of my gigai, "I'm a Shinigami, not a child."

"No, you're a human to be exact. Besides, what's your point?" He smirks and stays silent for a few seconds.

"Don't underestimate me, Lilly."

I smile, "I never do."

"Don't think you have a handicap just because my injuries haven't fully healed."

I smile again, "I know, Ichigo."

"Fine then. Let's cut to the chase and do this!"
