[SINGING IN JAPANESE]

[GROANING SOFTLY]

Where am I?

I'm not dead,
at least I don't think I am.

YORUICHI:
Ah, you're finally awake.

Huh?

Yoruichi?

It was you who saved
my life, wasn't it?

Thanks for doing that.

Be thankful to your
strong life force.



Without it, you never would have
survived such serious wounds,

no matter what I did.

Wounds?

That's right.

In fact, I thought
he'd killed me.

Huh?

Oh no!

Damn it!
[SCREAMS]

[GROANING]

Hold still, you fool.

You're going to open
up those wounds.

Don't you realize
how badly you're hurt?

I've got to go help Chad.

I think he's in danger.



Chad is OK.
Now just relax.

[ICHIGO YELLS]

Orihime and Uryu are fine, too.

Huh?

Chad was lucky
to fight who he did.

He left Chad wounded but alive.

Orihime and Uryu
have avoided confrontation

and so far haven't
gotten a scratch.

That's good.

So you just stay here in
the barrier and rest a while.

Yeah, all right.

Half of your organs
were crushed after all.

If it hadn't been
for this thing,

you would have been
sliced in half.

Fortunately for you
it looks like it

absorbed much of the impact.

That thing was on me?

Yes, it was.

I was surprised to
find you were still

carrying this object around.

Are are you sure that
I was carrying it?

What do you mean?

How could you have it
on you and not know it?

Yeah, well, I um--
I had it when I fought Renji,

and I think it saved my
life in that fight, too.

I figured that it was
a good luck charm,

and I should probably
hang onto it.

Hey, what are you
doing with that?

I'm throwing it away.

There's something really
evil about this, Ichigo.

Having it makes me
feel uncomfortable.

But you said it probably
saved my life back there.

Uh.

Wouldn't it make sense to
hang on to something like that?

No! I don't care!

No! Don't!

ICHIGO:
And that was that.

It sank like a stone
in the waterway.

What?

Oh, you're probably wondering
about this Hanataro guy.

He's from Squad Four,
but he's okay.

Technically, he's the enemy,

but he's the one
who healed my wounds.

It is pretty weird that
I still have this though.

I could have sworn
he got rid of it.

Give it to me.
I'll take care of it.

Huh? No way.

This is mine,
and I'm gonna keep it.

Hand it over!
End of discussion.

Uh, yes, sir.

Please, please take it.

It's all yours.

Hm.
It's probably not possible.

But all the same,
can't be too careful.

Well,
you certainly are strong.

It's surprising.

What do you mean by that?

You carried me all the way
here despite being so small.

Oh, that.

Lifting things
is no problem for me,

once I revert to my
original form.

Ah, right.

Original form, I forgot.

Hm?

What do you mean,
original form?

Oh, that's right.

I've never actually shown
you and your friends

my true form, have I?

Having come this far,
there's no reason

to keep it hidden anymore.

Huh?

So, behold,
here is what I really look like.

[GASPS]

[GASPS]

Uh-- uh-- you're a girl.

Yeah, you're even more shocked
than I thought you would be.

Can't blame you.

I guess people always
assume I'm a man because

of the voice I use
when I'm in cat form.

[GASPS]

No matter how many times
I reveal my true form,

it's always fun to see
the reaction I get.

Though honestly,
I thought someone like you

would handle
it a bit better.

But, but I-- I
thought you were a cat.

Cats don't talk.
Use your head, Ichigo.

Anyway, I think that's
enough surprises for now.

Let's get back to
the business at hand,

and I'll show you how
I carried you here.

[GASPS]

First of all,
I used this device.

Ah! Will you please
put some clothes on?

Oh, right. Sorry about that.

It's been so long since
I had to wear clothes, I forgot.

Though I'm surprised at you.

You're more innocent
and naive than you look.

Was that the first time you
ever saw a girl naked? Huh?

Never mind.

Do you want another look?
You never know.

Life is short, and you
might not get the chance

to see a hot young
girl like me again.

Hey. Shut up, will ya?

Just kidding.

Oh, you have no sense of humor,
do you know that?

You really ought
to take it easy,

or you're going to open up those
wounds of yours all over again.

ICHIGO:
Would you please just shut
up and put some pants on?

Damn it.

Now, I'm bleeding again.

I had forgotten
how uncomfortable it is

having to wear clothes.

ICHIGO:
So you put
spirit energy in this,

and it allows you to fly?

That's right.

There's not another
one like it anywhere,

not even here in
the Soul Society.

Impressive,
wouldn't you say?

Yeah, but I can't
help but wonder

how you got your paws on
such a valuable device.

Hm?

You can change forms and
do it so effortlessly.

And you have the ability
to heal wounds.

Now this.

Yoruichi,
who are you?

I am--

[RUMBLING]

[GASPS]

[GRUNTS]

That spiritual pressure!

It's him, again.

It's coming from the Senzaikyu.

Stop, Ichigo!

The tower is where I told
Ganju and Hanataro to go to.

I have to get there
and save them.

What good do you think you
can do in your condition?

Just who do think is going
to save them if I don't?

Fly.

[GRUNTS]

Ichigo!

[GRUNTS]

You're such a fool.

I sensed some faint,
spiritual pressure

moving toward the Shishinro.

And I thought it was some
powerful presence suppressing

its spiritual
pressure to hide it,

but it was only a big fat bug.

Ah! Rukia, no.

Stay out of it.

Ah!

I've got to stop this
or the Shiba clan's

going to lose another one.

Oh.
Oh, no, Rukia.

All this time I've spent
in this Sekkiseki cell

has weakened
my spiritual power.

I-- I can't even move.

Damn it.

What incredible
spiritual pressure.

Just standing here,
facing him is taxing.

No measly little tricks
are going to do me any good

against a superior
power like his.

[GRUNTS]

[SCREAMING]

I'm just going to have
to take my chances.

Now, let's see how you
like my tears of blood!

Huh?

Be gone.

My sword is not for
killing insignificant pests

such as you.

[GROANING]

[GROANS]

[SCREAMS]

[GASPS]

[GROANING]

Where do you think
you're going?

Apparently, I didn't make
myself completely clear.

I spared you
and told you to be gone.

[LAUGHS]

Maybe your noble
families have cowered

to run from a threat like that,
but no Sheba man ever would.

I see.

You're from
the Shiba clan, are you?

Oh, no.

Forgive me for
taking it easy on you.

Now, I'll make sure you
don't leave here alive.

Ah, what's this
from so far away?

Brother, please, no.

Scatter.

Senbonzakura.

Ah, what the hell?

A blade just disappeared.

Run away!

[GROANS]

Oh, Ganju.

Brother, please stop.

[CRYING]

Hm?

Whew.

Close one.

Pretty dangerous.

Why don't we leave it at
that, Captain Kuchiki?

Uh...
Captain Ukitake.

Hey there, Rukia!

It's good to see you.

Are you all right?

What are you doing here,
Captain?

Well, I could ask
you the same thing.

After all, releasing
a Zanpakuto on a place like this

is a first class offense,
even if it's to repel Ryoka.

What were you thinking,
Kuchiki?

The wartime exemption allows

the unrestricted use
of Zanpakuto.

War exemption?

Has the Ryoka infiltration
gotten that bad?

Was it a Ryoka
that killed Aizen?

[RUMBLING]

What spiritual pressure is this?

Clearly, it's at
the level of a captain,

but I don't
recognize him at all.

That spiritual pressure...

impossible.

Ichigo.

It's it's-- huh?

Are you okay, Hanataro?

I wouldn't have
sent you on ahead

if I'd known it was
going to be so rough.

Thanks, but it's okay.
I'm fine.

Rukia...

I've come to
get you out of here.

[WHIMPERING]

What kind of look is that?

I've come here to save you.

You could at least try
to act like you're happy.

We should go now, brother.

Take even one step,

or try to come after me,

and I'll-- I'll--

I will never ever forgive you.

You are going to die,
so why not stay put

and live a few seconds longer?

You fool, Ichigo!

I told you never to
try and come after me.

I told you, I'd never
forgive you if you did.

Now, you're all cut up,
and there is worse yet to come.

ICHIGO:
And maybe so.

Some other time

you can yell at me
all you want to

about my coming here...

After I defeat him!

Ichigo.
What?

Don't tell me you actually
think I would give up

after I came all this way.

It's just--
'Cause I won't.

Don't even ask me.

I came here to save you,
and that's what I'm gonna do.

Oh, and from now on,
I'm ignoring all your opinions.

You're coming with me whether
you want to or not, damn it.

You got that, huh?

I'm the rescuer here.
You just shut up.

What, what did you say?

Who do you think you are,
ordering me around like that?

A rescuer isn't supposed
to ignore the rescuee.

Yeah? And what kind of rescuee
complains about the rescue?

Why don't you just go sit
down and tremble in fear

and cry out,
"save me, save me",

like you're supposed to.

Uh, I don't need to be saved.

And I do not tremble.

Bluh.

Hm.

You haven't changed a bit.

What's the use?

I might as well
save my breath,

since you don't listen
to anything I say.

Well, what do you expect?

All you ever do is worry
about me and scold me.

Maybe you should try worrying
about yourself for a change.

Ichigo.

Don't you worry.

I'm not dying today.

Fact is, I've gotten a lot
stronger while you were away.

Byakuya, what do you know
of this man?

I know enough.

He has no relation to
the man you're thinking about.

This one here is nothing,
nothing but a Ryoka.

I'll destroy him,
and this will all end.

He'll be dead, and this trifling
invasion of his will be over.

Look at you, taking everything
so slow and casual.

All that time Rukia
and I were talking,

you could have been attacking.
But you just stood there.

Who do you think
you're talking to?

Do you suppose that
I need an opening

to come after the likes of you?

You should know better
than to talk so big, boy.

[RUMBLING]

[GRUNTS]

[GRUNTS]

Just stay down,
and you'll be okay, Hanataro.

Uh, okay.

Oh?

To be so unaffected
by the spiritual pressure,

you must have improved
a great deal indeed.

I don't know how you managed

to regain the powers
of a Soul Reaper,

but I can tell you that you
should have stayed peacefully

in the world of the living.

Instead, you made the
mistake of coming here,

to throw away the life
I mercifully spared.

I'm not going to
be throwing it away.

I'm gonna beat you
and then leave.

I thought I warned you about
not talking so big, boy.

He's gone.

Flash step!

[GROANS]

I saw your every step,
Byakuya Kuchiki.

Well, what do you think,
Kuchiki?

A little surprised?

Your movements were
all visible to me now.

Don't confuse skill with
a little luck, you daft fool.

So maybe you'd like
to find out

if it was just luck.

[GRUNTS]

[GRUNTS]

Huh?

Ah, amazing.

Somehow Ichigo's
got Captain Kuchiki

battling against him
as an equal.

It's true.

I can't believe how much
Ichigo's strength has grown.

The fact that he was able
to read Byakuya's flash step

is simply astounding.

Still, Byakuya's power
is much more than that.

The flash step is mere
child's play for him.

I have to find a way
to stop this fight,

before he attacks in earnest.

Otherwise, Ichigo will be--

Very well.

Obviously,
you have improved even more

than I would have
thought possible.

So you leave me no choice.

Before you become
too full of yourself,

I shall show you the
difference between us.

[GASPS]

The gap in power you
could never hope to bridge,

not even if you had
1,000 years of training.

Run, Ichigo! Run!

[GASPS]

Scatter.

[GRUNTS]

[GASPS]

[GASPS]

No way.

It can't be.

Been a long time, hasn't it...

Byakuya.

ICHIGO:
Yoruichi, how'd you transform
yourself into a cat?

GANJU:
Yeah, did you use a
special Kido or something?

YORUICHI:
No, I just wore a cat costume.

ICHIGO:
I see.
Is that really all it was?

GANJU:
Sure, that makes sense.
If it was just a costume,

that'd be pretty easy
to transform for--

ALL:
What?
