"Hai, hai~! This will teach you everything you need to know, Kurosaki-kun!" Urahara Kisuke snapped open his fan and grinned madly. Ichigo lowered the book and stared at Urahara with his eyebrow twitching. "Is this some kinda joke, Urahara-san? I didn't train with the Vizards for nothing…" Urahara just continued grinning. "That's right, Kurosaki-kun~! But I didn't know what to give you for your birthday, so I just got you this! Hope you like it!" He danced off into the back of the shop, leaving Ichigo to stare after him in shock.
