Vol. 5 - Chapter 33

Ichigo

Hm... It's been a while since we split up,  the warrior thought as she looked into the trees from the outside. Beside her were the other soldiers, mostly bored. A little concerned, she furrowed her brows as she scratched her chin. 

"Maybe I should go check on them," she said aloud. 

"They're way stronger than any of us, though," a soldier replied, nearby. "If anything gave them trouble, I don't think anyone here would be of any real help." 

"Besides, that strange energy is still in the air, right? It felt terrible being in there," another one pitched in.

... You've got a point,  Ichigo replied in her thoughts, although her eyes remained aimed in that direction.  Though, if something did go wrong, I feel like they'd want someone to come help. 

"I'm just gonna see if I hear anything strange," Ichigo said. "I won't get too close."
