4-1...

So you came.

Tch. I haven't seen you since I was defeated at the Royal Palace.

Quit being so persistent. I'm not letting you boss me around.

It's not like I fight just to give you blood.

Geez. I thought we were starting to understand each other a little.

The one you understood was me in this form, right?

Huh?

Fine. I am your shadow, as well as the shadow of the very world that you see.

My appearance and words can change depending on how the light hits.

When it comes to talking to you, I prefer this form as well.

Oh yeah? So if your personality changes along with your appearance,

were all our chats up to now meaningless?

No. You understood one side of me and learned my name.

That's why you can use your Shikai and why my entire world, the world of Kazeshini, can call out to you.

Damn it. Do you still want me to kill?

Are you saying I should have killed Hikone?

I won't buy it. I only use my sword for the Court Guards.

I am a Soul Reaper.

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

There's no door. How did Hikone get out of here?

I guess I have no choice. I'll smash my way out.

I don't believe you're strong enough to destroy that wall.

*Gasp*

Aura Michibane!

I'm honored that the remarkable, renowned Lieutenant Hisagi remembers my name.

That didn't even sound sarcastic at this point.

Where's Kisuke?

Don't worry. There is not a single scratch on him. Our goal is not to harm him.

I see.
