02x21 - Reunion, Ichigo and Rukia

[bunniefuu]

Pain that won't heal Sadness you feel Scars that just refuse to fade from memory Sometimes the burden 's too much for one to bear Don't give up on me, please don't turn me away Whoa!
I'll hold your hand in mine Will I lose my hold on her someday?
Will her smile fade In a flood of tears Or can I keep the fears at bay?
Echoing, distant voices wither into silence.


But there is one thing that will never ever age my love for you is timeless Pain that won't heal Sadness you feel Smiles with hearts' bitterness replaced "I'll never smile again" "I'll never let love in" Don't ever say such things to me A future we cannot see All happenings Find meaning in the story In time the clouds will clear away, so just stay, please stay with me Whoa!
Who are we to pass through you?
Whoa!
That answer will find you someday Where am I?
I'm not dead?
I see you're awake.


Mr.


Yoruichi I see.


You saved me.


Thank you.


You should thank your own will to live for helping you survive those serious wounds.


Wounds?
That's right.


I got cut up pretty bad.


That's right!
That's right!
Fool!
Don't move!
Don't you know how badly you're hurt?
!
Chad's in danger.


I gotta save him!
Calm down!
Chad is fine!
So are Inoue and Ishida.


Huh?
They were lucky to have fought who they did.


Chad was injured, but he's alive.


Inoue and Ishida were able to get away from the enemy without a scratch.


I see.


Stay put inside this barrier for a while.


You're right.


After all, half of your organs were crushed.


If this wasn't covering your chest, you would've been sliced in half.


I had that?
!
I was surprised that you were still carrying this thing around.


Did I really have that on me?
What?
Weren't you carrying it?
No, actually When I fought Renji, I had a feeling this thing saved me.


So I wanted to keep it as a good-luck charm.


Huh?
!
H-Hey!
Ichigo, let's throw this away It makes me feel uncomfortable.


But that thing saved my life.


I want to keep it as a good-luck charm.


No!
Hey you!
So it got thrown out in underground waterway.


Oh, Hanataro's this guy in Squad 4.


He's the enemy, but he's a good guy.


He healed the wounds I got from Renji, too.


How come I have this, though?
I was so sure he threw it away.


I'll keep that.


Huh?
Why?
I finally got it back.


Hand it over!
No excuses!
Y-Yes, sir.


Please take it.


I doubt that it's possible, but better safe than sorry.


Still, you're amazing, Mr.


Yoruichi.


What do you mean?
You're so tiny, but you carried me here.


It's easy when I turn into my true form.


Oh, I see.


Your true form What?
"True form?
" Oh right.


I haven't shown it to you and your friends yet, have I?
All right.


Since we've come this far, there's no point in hiding it now.


I'll show you my true form!
A-A w-woman?
!
I see you're pretty shocked.


Can't blame you.


Most people assume I'm male because of the way I talk.


Revealing my true form like this is always fun.


Everyone acts like an idiot!
B-But you were a cat, though Cats can't talk.


Use your head.


Now, then Enough surprises for now.


Now I'll show you how I carried you.


First, I used this tool Put somethin' on!
Like clothes!
Oh, sorry, sorry I haven't worn clothes in a while, so I forgot.


You're a bigger prude than I expected.


Is this the first time you've seen a woman naked?
Hmm?
Shut up!
Are you sure?
If you don't look at a firm, young female now, you might never see one again.


That's none of your business!
Look!
Ugh no I'm bleeding ugh Are you okay?
With all that screaming, no wonder your wounds opened up.


Shut up!
Put on some pants!
Most people put on their pants first!
Ughm Agh!
I'm bleeding!
Clothes are so uncomfortable.


So you used this to fly and bring me here?
That's right.


There's not another like it, in the Soul Society, it's rare and valuable.


Awesome, isn't it?
But why is it that you have something so valuable?
You change forms, heal wounds, and possess a priceless artifacts Miss Yoruichi What are you, anyway?
I am Th-This Spiritual Pressure is!
Him!
It's coming from the Shishinro, Repentance Cell.


Stop, Ichigo!
Ganju and Hanataro are headed there!
I gotta save them!
What can you do, in your condition?
!
Who else is gonna save them?
!
Fly!
Ichigo!
The fool!
I sensed a faint Spiritual Pressure moving toward the Shishinro, so I wondered what powerful presence had slipped in, hiding his force.


But it's only a tick.


No!
Miss Rukia!
You can't go!
Let me go, Hanataro!
I must stop that Shiba man!
He'll be k*ll Rukia!
My time in the cell made of Sekkiseki has weakened me I can't move!
This bastard's got some Spiritual Pressure Just facing him makes me shiver Measly tricks won't work against a superior power like his.


It's now or never!
Take this!
Chili Pepper b*mb!
Disappear.


My sword is not for the purpose of k*lling vermin like you.


Hold it!
It seems you didn't understand me.


I told you to disappear.


Shut up!
We wouldn't run in fear because of you!
There are no cowards in the Shiba clan!
I see.


You're from the Shiba clan.


This isn't good I apologize for dismissing you.


I can't let you leave here alive.


What's he going to do?
From so far away?
No!
Elder Brother!
Scatter Senbonzakura.


Wha--?
The blade disappeared!
Run!
Mr.


Ganju?
!
Please stop!
Elder Brother!
Phew!
Good grief, it's dangerous around here.


Why not leave it at that, Captain Kuchiki?
Captain Ukitake!
Hey, Kuchiki!
You look like you've lost weight.


Are you okay?
What's the meaning of this, Ukitake?
Hey now, I should be asking you that.


Drawing your Zanpakuto here is a level one forbidden offense.


Even if it's to drive off Ryoka, what were you thinking?
There is a wartime exemption.


The drawing of Zanpakuto is allowed.


Wartime exemption?
Is the appearance of a few Ryoka that important?
Don't tell me a Ryoka k*lled Aizen?
W-What Spiritual Pressure is this?
Clearly, it's of a captain's level!
But it's unfamiliar to me!
This Spiritual Pressure feels like Impossible!
Ichigo I-Ichi You okay, Hanataro?
Sorry, I shouldn't have sent you guys ahead.


Bet it was rough No, not at all.


I'm fine.


Rukia I've come to rescue you.


What kinda look is that?
!
I came to save you!
Try to look a little happier!
Let's go, Brother.


Take even one step from there.


Try to come after me And I'll I will never forgive you!
You will die anyway so stay there and live, even if for just one second longer.


You fool!
I told you not to come!
I said I'd never forgive you if you did!
You're all cut up!
You fool!
Yeah, you're right.


So You can yell at me all you want later.


After I beat him!
Ichigo!
What?
I've made it this far, you're not gonna tell me to leave, are you?
But I ain't leaving!
Forget about it.


I came this far just to save you.


I don't care if you want to be ex*cuted.


I'm saving you, even if I have to drag you.


From here on, I'm rejecting all of your protests!
Got that, stupid?
!
Wha?
!
What's that about?
You're just going to ignore the wishes of the person you're saving?
!
What kind of a tyrannical rescuer are you?
!
Shut up!
I don't want any crap from the one who needs rescuing!
Just tremble like you're supposed to and say, "Save me!
" "Save me"?
And, I do not tremble!
You haven't changed have you?
You still don't listen to anything I say.


What do you expect?
All you do is worry about me.


Worry about yourself for a change.


Ichigo Don't worry.


I won't die.


You probably can't tell, but I've gotten a little stronger.


Byakuya Who is he?
He's not related At least not to the one you're thinking of right now He's nothing.


Just an ordinary Ryoka.


I'll k*ll him.


That will be the end of it.


This trifling fight will be over.


You're pretty sure of yourself.


Rukia and I did all that talking, but you never att*cked.


Who do you think I am?
Did you think I'd attack while your guard was down?
You've got a big mouth, brat.


Are you all right, Hanataro?
Just barely.


Oh?
You aren't perturbed by this Spiritual Pressure.


You seem to have improved a great deal.


I don't know how you regained the powers of a Soul Reaper.


You should have stayed in the human world and enjoyed a peaceful life.


But you came here to foolishly throw away the life I spared.


I don't plan on dying.


I'm gonna defeat you and go home.


Like I said, you have a big mouth, brat.


He disappeared!
Flash Step!
I can see you Byakuya Kuchiki.


How's that, Mr.


Kuchiki?
Surprised?
I can read your movements!
Don't get confident over a lucky hit.


You fool.


Wanna see if it was just luck?
Amazing!
Simply amazing!
Ichigo is fighting Captain Kuchiki as his equal!
Yes, Ichigo's growth is amazing.


His read of Brother's Flash Step alone was astounding.


But Brother's power is more than that.


The Flash Step is mere child's play for Brother.


I must stop them before Elder Brother starts fighting seriously.


Or Ichigo will be--!
I see.


It seems you've improved more than I thought.


You leave me no choice.


Before your newfound strength goes to your head, I'll show you the overwhelming difference in our skills.


You couldn't defeat me in a thousand years.


No, Ichigo!
Run!
Scatter That's--!
You--!
It's been a while Byakuya-boy.
