The four reached Urahara's shop in half an hour, that was with Leto chasing the pigeons and Hichigo staring at his reflection in every window they passed; there were some queries they wanted to ask Urahara about…
"Yo, Hat 'n' Clogs!" Ichigo burst through the door without knocking, the blonde man wearing a green hat and clogs turned to face them with a strange smile; this soon disappeared when he saw the identical hollow with them.
"Oh my, my, my! What have you done now Ichigo?" He stepped towards them with the fan in front of his face, why he had it, no one knew, it was minus degrees outside!
"I didn't do anything! That's why we're here!" Ichigo was displeased with Urahara's accusation and folded his arms like a child.
They were ushered into the back of the shop; Hichigo and Leto were forced to sit side by side so Urahara could examine them better.
"Hmmm…its as if their bodies materialized. But why…?" He lifted Leto's arm and then dropped it, her hand rested on Hichigo's leg, this made him jump and made his face glow slightly red; Urahara studied his expression before chuckling to himself and carrying on examining Leto.
"You better not do anything to her." Lotus growled from the other side of the room behind the greenly dressed man.
"Not at all Miss Lotus!" The blonde man turned and grinned back at her reassuringly, making her eye twitch.
"Ahahaha-mf!" Leto covered her mouth when Urahara touched her neck, trying to stop laughing.
He smirked and brushed his fingers under her jaw line, making her squirm with a giggle.
"I didn't know hollows were ticklish!" He seemed proud of his discovery, Hichigo was watching Leto's reaction to the blonde man's touch, finding it amazing, unconsciously he found himself reaching out and stroking the female hollows neck, she jumped and giggled again lifting her shoulders to hide her vulnerable neck.
Hichigo started laughing slightly.
The man in hat and clogs ran his hand through Leto's hair, she shivered and leaned back a little, it felt nice, although, this wasn't the reaction Urahara thought he would get.
Before he could do it again there was a crash and Valiant charged into the room.
"Lotus! King of the stupid won't stop stalking me!" She gripped her nieces arm and stared at the door in horror. Renji wandered in looking rather pissed off.
"I told you! Captain Byakuya has sent me to guard you from your own idiocy!" He ruffled his red hair then spotted the hollows sitting on the floor, blinking vacantly at him; he leapt back and unsheathed his sword. "What the hell?!" he pointed his rather pointy weapon at them.
Lotus had stepped over to Leto now and was hugging her protectively, glaring at Renji.
"Clam down stupid!" Valiant whacked the over excited pineapple head with her shoe.
Whilst Renji was sulking in the corner, Urahara carried on his examination on the hollows, they didn't protest because their other halves had promised to give them something yummy afterwards…and they loved food.
