Chapter 5: As the Head of the Kuchiki Clan

A silvery-white windflower silk scarf and a kenseikan.

You're from the Kuchiki Clan, aren't you?

I'm Byakuya Kuchiki, the head of the clan. 28th generation.

The leader of the 28th generation. Well, well. Obviously a great deal has time has passed since I was sealed away.

So, I assume by now Ginrei finally died.

How dare you refer to my ancestor's passing so flippantly? You personally ruined the reputation of the Kuchiki Clan. Because of that, you will never have the right to utter the name of my grandfather.

You bastard.

Byakuya, I don't understand.

What's going on here. I thought you were on their side.

You must observe quietly. This fight is his alone. He's upholding the Kuchiki Clan's honor.

Byakukya was aware of the Zapankuto Muramasa and it's master, Koga. His grandfather Ginrei told him that Koga had been sealed away.

In order to determine Koga's location, Byakuya stayed by Muramasa's side, even if that his friends would think that he betrayed them.

He was willing to risk his own death?

He had to stay true to his duty as head of the Kuchiki Clan.

If by chance the seal is broken and that man escapes, it will be your duty as head of the Kuchiki Clan to hunt him down and slay him.

The world must never be exposed to his warped evil power again.

On my sacred honor as head of the Kuchiki Clan, I swear to do this.

I cannot allow you to remain alive any longer. All of your actions have been a disgrace to the honor of the Kuchiki Clan.

Now, I will kill you for that.

Brother, you alone had to bear the burden of knowing about Koga Kuchiki this whole time.

Even though I'm a member of the Kuchiki Clan too, I had no idea.

All I did was uphold my duty.

But...

Now you must go and fulfill your own responsibilities. I expect you're capable of knowing what it is you have to do.

Right!
