Haineko

Ugh... I'm completely bored out of my mind.

Tobiume

Your idea of what constitutes fun and excitement on a daily basis is enough to give anybody else a heart attack.

Haineko

That sounds just a bit cruel.

Tobiume

Yeah, but it's true.

Haineko

When I became free...

...I was hoping it would be the beginning of a much more interesting life with my master not bugging me anymore.

Tobiume

Instead, you've gone and let your master easily overpower you.

Haineko

What?! That's because you got in my way!

Tobiume

I'm quite aware of that. And I think I was more easily overpowered.

Haineko

What's wrong? You're not even trying to put up a fight.

Tobiume

Well, I have to agree with you. I'm just exhausted from all this overwhelming boredom.

Haineko

Who's there?!

Kazeshini?

Tobiume

You really shouldn't scare us like that!

Haineko

Kazeshini!

Tobiume

Oh, no. His wounds are bad.

Haineko

You're right. I'm surprised he made it back here.

Muramasa

What are you doing?

Glad you could make it back, Kazeshini. Now rest up so your wounds can heal.

Kazeshini

Muramasa... There's something I've been wanting to ask you.

You said to use my intuition, that I must always follow my instinct.

Muramasa

Of course I remember that.

Kazeshini

Well, I'm certain my true instinct is to reap the lives of Soul Reapers.

Muramasa

I'm well aware of that. And my mission is to release all Zanpakuto from their Soul Reaper masters.

Kazeshini

Then, tell me why the hell a Soul Reaper is standing right there!

Muramasa

That Soul Reaper is Byakuya Kuchiki, and he plays a crucial role in achieving our greater objective.

I am very thankful that, with all your help, Byakuya was able to make it here safely.

Haineko

Okay, fine. Then explain why any of us should have to suffer just to have this Soul Reaper around.

Muramasa

Even though we have a greater objective to consider, it saddens me that Zanpakuto have been hurt.

But there's no need to worry.

As long as we have Genryusai Yamamoto, the Soul Reapers will not do anything too drastic. We are very close to achieving our goal.

They should be getting desperate by now. Sorry to ask this of you, but you'll have to be patient for a bit longer.
