2-2 The Enemy Starts to Move

Okay, so now what?

Let's check the records on movement through the Precipice World.

Someone in these records is gonna be the key to the truth.

Hold on a second. Can you go back a few windows?

It's her!

So it's that girl.

"Reported missing in the world of the living. Found later in Karakura Town. If she refuses to be captured, elimination...

...is authorized?!"

Will you get the door, Ichigo?

Got it!

Huh? Who are you?

You are Ichigo's Soul Candy, isn't that right?

We are here from the Seireitei.

We understand that a Soul Reaper named Nozomi Kujo is here. We've come to take her with us.

Nozomi Kujo? Take her with you? Oh, you must mean that kid.

So she's a Soul Reaper?

Have you recently heard from Substitute Soul Reaper Ichigo Kurosaki or Rukia Kuchiki?

No, I haven't heard from them.

That's very odd. We were under the impression that you had.

No, no. Look, I'll gift wrap her and give her to ya if you'll just take her out of here.

So, why don't you just tell us where she is?

She's uh, upstairs. I'll bring her down here. It'll be a relief! Stay right there!

Hey, there's some people from the Soul Society here to pick you up. Uh, huh? Whaddya think you're doing?

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

Huh?! What the hell?! Hey, wait!

She's making a run for it!

What is with those guys? This is really bad, isn't it?

*Pant* *Pant*

Hey, you all right?!

You struggled for nothing. So you really thought you could escape from me?

Ghahhh!

Urh...

Won't you please forgive us, sir?

Of course. You just be sure you get rid of him. He is, after all, a mere Mod Soul. He is of no use to us.

Now, then. I guess I'll be going.

Hold on a minute.

Forcing a girl down to the ground? I wouldn't call that move good manners.

Oh?

Uryu.

You never learn, do you? Always getting yourself into trouble. Your master's not going to be happy.

Shut up, Uryu! Ichigo is not my master!

Hado 4: Byakurai!

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

A Hirenkyaku. Well then, you must be a Quincy. You seem to be quite interested in us.

Actually, I have no interest in you. But I don't want you bringing trouble into this town either.

Leave now. Then I won't have to take action.

I don't want this skirmish turning into an incident either, young Quincy.

But if you choose to stand in our way, you will leave me no other choice but to consider you an enemy that needs to be eliminated.

I didn't come here to get in your way. But you see, it's becoming obvious. From where I stand, you are the enemy.
