Chapter 5

He's here.

We're withdrawing, Rangiku.

Huh? Why?

This is their fight, not ours.

Kaname! Or should I say, the remnants of Kaname's soul? I am your opponent now.

I don't care who I fight. It doesn't change the fact that I will be the one to cut you down.

If my friend's soul still lingers in this world after his death, I will send it on its way.

Friend? Don't make me laugh. I would never think of a Soul Reaper as my friend.

.........

I see. So you really did leave everything behind in order to exact your revenge.

That is correct.

I no longer need to pander to the detestable Soul Reapers or fear a peaceful death.

All I fight for now is revenge.

For my part, I still believe your last words and the tears that you shed were not a lie.

So there's still more I could have thrown away...

You've got it all wrong.

Kaname was strong precisely because he held on to what you have dismissed as unnecessary.

............

Kaname... Rest in peace, my friend.

It seems that all of the sightings so far had been copies of living captains, but...

...now we know even the souls of the dead can be replicated as well.

............

We should inform the Head Captain and the other captains.

Let's go, Tetsuzaemon.

Right!
