Ten Years Later The Soul Society

Shuhei

I'll have you know, I've already mastered my Bankai!

Rangiku

I still haven't seen it. How do I know you're not a fraud?

Kensei

I haven't either.

Shuhei

What?! I know you've seen it, Captain!

Wh-What am I supposed to do?! I haven't had a chance to use it since then!

Toshiro

Well, the fact that he hasn't had to use it for ten years is a good thing.

It means that for ten years we've maintained peace.

Shuhei

One Year Earlier The Rukon District

Hikone

Ah! Mr. Hisagi, you came!

Shuhei

Hey.

Hikone

I understand now.

Before leaving the Seireitei, I learned so many things from you, Mr. Kyoraku, and Seinosuke's brother Hanataro, too.

I understand the kind of person Lord Tokinada was now.

However, I cannot detest or hate him.

There's no question that Lord Tokinada was the one who gave me a reason to live.

The fact is, I was happy back then. I don't think a Soul Reaper like that should be in the Court Guards.

I'd like to try living on my own for a while if I can.

It's frightening, but that's what it means to live. You taught me that, Mr. Hisagi!

Shuhei

Did you find anything? Something you want to do in the future?

Hikone

Yes! I...I want to become stronger!

Shuhei

Oh? Become stronger and do what?

Hikone

I'd like to go search for Aura... My mother.

Shuhei

I see. When that time comes, I'll do my best to help you out.

I'll do it my own way. I'll follow the path least soaked in blood.

Rangiku

Hey, you've been visiting the Rukon District quite a lot these past ten years, right?

Shuhei

Huh? Well, yeah, since I've met and made a lot of connections with people there while covering stories.

Kensei

Yup, this guy's a journalist, so he's made quite a name for himself. He's also been looking after a kid in the Rukon District.

The kid who was crying after getting attacked by a Hollow is now out there saving kids. He's doing good work, but he's still got a ways to go.

Rangiku

Hmm... For someone like Shuhei to be nice to kids... Did you have a secret love child?

Shuhei

That's not it! How in the world did you arrive at that conclusion?!

Kensei

I said so, didn't I? You're a sucker for seduction.

Shuhei

Captain?! Why would you bring up something from ten years ago?!
