"Do you realize what you have done?" "!" "Look at this!" "This was broadcast nationwide the other day." "Nationwide!" "Ichigo Kurosaki!" "Do you know how much dishonor you brought upon this school with the airing of this footage?" "!" "Mr. Kagine!" "Kurosaki and Kuchiki were on television, so I can understand why they were called in." "But there's no reason why Inoue and I should be here." "Weren't you there, too?" "By coincidence." "We met them by accident and were not involved!" "Why you...!" "Trying to save your own necks!" "And so, we're going back to class." "Let's go, Orihime." "Oh... then me, too." "Not you!" "You were with him, but did nothing to stop him." "You're just as guilty!" "W-What's the fuss just 'cuz we were on TV?" ""Just 'cuz"?" "!" "Haven't you realized that you're here precisely because of that lack of awareness?" "!" "I'm flabbergasted!" "I'm so sorry." "It's all my fault..." "I couldn't stop Kurosaki who was so determined to get on TV..." "It's my fault." "I really tried my best, but..." "Ohh..." "Don't cry, Kuchiki." "I understand." "It's not your fault." "I don't care what you do to Kurasaki, so please spare me..." "Hmm?" "Hey, you brats!" "Do you know what will happen if you run away?" "!" "You boys!" "And now, even Kuchiki has disappeared!" "Principal!" "Now, now, you don't have to scold them so severely, just because they were on TV." "I cannot believe you all!" "All's well that end's well." "It's all thanks to you, Rukia." "Oh please..." "Stupid, don't compliment her." "She tried to sell me out." "But thanks to her act, you were able to slip away, too." "That's right." "It was just an a... c... t." "I wouldn't dream of selling out a friend like Kurosaki." "Why you!" "By the way, Kurosaki, may I speak with you?" "Huh?" "Please excuse us, everyone." "What was that?" "Kurosaki and Kuchiki..." "Huh?" "Are they seeing each other?" "No way!" "At least, Kuchiki wouldn't." "But something's suspicious..." "No way!" "Huh?" "!" "There's no Hollow." "What's going on anyway?" "Maybe that cell phone is broken." "Strange..." "There was an order that a Hollow had appeared." "Hey, spirit!" "Huh?" "!" "You didn't exterminate a Hollow by any chance, did you?" "H-Hollow... you mean that scary bug-like thing?" "I-I was so scared..." "I thought I was gonna pee on myself!" "Stay away from me!" "I'm asking you what happened!" "Wait, Ichigo." "Did someone defeat the Hollow and save you?" "And if so, who was it?" "I-I was so scared, I had my eyes closed." "I don't know!" "Wha...?" "!" "Why you!" "Well, it's Konso time." "Let's go!" "Huh?" "!" "What's a Konso?" "W-What's that sword for?" "!" "Third place?" "You always do so well." "Wow!" "Orihime, you're that smart?" "She doesn't look it though, huh?" "Wonderful!" "You are my Hime, after all!" "Oh..." "Well, besides the girls doing well, no one betrayed us by getting into the top 50." "Look carefully." "Huh?" "W-W-What?" "!" "23rd place?" "!" "No way!" "How can you be up there?" "!" "Shut up." "I study because there's nothing else to do at home." "Nothing to do?" "!" "No way!" "I always ask you to hang out!" "I get it!" "That's what you were doing when you turned me down!" "You pervert!" "Nerd!" "A person like you deserves thick glasses like these..." "No thanks." "So you actually study, Ichigo?" "Well yeah..." "It can be tough when you have orange hair like this." "I see." "I guess there are all kinds of things in life." "A person like you deserves a nerd headband..." "I said I don't want it!" "Fine!" "I get it!" "I'll never ask you to hang out again!" "Hey Chad, c'mon and join me." "You're not in the top fifty, right?" "Huh?" "What?" "!" "I-I never thought you guys were so evil!" "Not once!" "I'll never play with you guys again!" "Uh-oh... you made him cry." "If we're evil, what about the guy who's number one?" "Ametatsu Ishida?" "Never heard of that name." "It's Uryu." "Uryu Ishida." "You know him?" "He's in our class." "Huh?" "Forget it, Orihime." "He never remembers a person's name or face." "Let's go." "Hmm... was there such a guy?" "He's not there!" "Urahara!" "Why don't you answer when I call you at times like this?" "!" "You always show up when you're not needed." "And you call yourself a businessman!" "Hmm..." "I wanted him to take a look at my Soul Pager." "I can't tell if it's broken or not." "Found him!" "Let's go sing some karaoke." "The worker there..." "Kurosaki!" "Come with me a moment!" "Rukia is quite aggressive." "I think they really are seeing each other." "It's a Hollow." "A Hollow?" "I hope it's really there this time." "Shut up!" "Let's go!" "Sorry!" "After all this!" "There was no Hollow again!" "Shut up!" "Get back into your body now!" "Damn!" "Do something about that useless cell phone!" "Are you saying that it's my fault?" "!" "I just relay whatever comes through the Soul Pager." "So hurry it up and fix that thing!" "I want to as well." "Breaking up?" "How unsightly." "Good evening, Kurosaki..." "Kuchiki." "Who are you?" "How do you know our names?" "Kurosaki, you can see spirits, right?" "W-What're you saying?" "!" "A new Hollow has appeared." "What?" "H-He's right." "It's an order." "Which way?" "Over there." "You don't know such a basic thing and you call yourself a Soul Reaper?" "Go!" "It disappeared." "Just what are you?" "!" "Uryu Ishida." "A Quincy." "I hate Soul Reapers." "What?" "Don't you understand?" "I'm telling you..." "Ichigo Kurosaki..." "I hate you." "Damn!" "Just what is that guy?" "You don't know such a basic thing and you call yourself a Soul Reaper?" "Why do I have to be insulted like that by someone I met for the first time?" "!" "I'll get that bastard the next time we meet." "That bastard?" "Umm... what did he say his name was?" "Ishida... err..." "Willy?" "Nope." "That's that celebrity no one likes." "Ishida..." "Ishida again?" "Inoue!" "Oh... no..." "Uryu Ishida, right?" "Huh?" "Yeah him!" "You're well informed, Inoue." "I'm really not." "But Ishida and I are in the Handicrafts Club." "So I know his name, at least." "Handicrafts Club?" "!" "See?" "That's Ishida." "T-That's him." "And he's in the Handicrafts Club?" "Yup." "Look." "Conveniently, Michiru brought a torn stuffed animal." "Very convenient turn of events indeed." "Watch." "I-It's fixed!" "Thank you, Ishida!" "No problem." "It's no big deal." "Huh?" "I'm sorry." "He'd be nice if he didn't say things like that." "He sure is weird." "Say, Ichigo..." "Did something happen between you and him?" "Just something minor." "It's no big deal." "I see..." "You plan on following me home?" "Ichigo Kurosaki?" "Damn, you knew?" "When did you notice?" "From the time you and Inoue watched me from the door." "Hmm..." "I'm impressed." "You're something else." "Your spiritual energy is always leaking out, like a fool." "Even a monkey would notice." "What?" "!" "I think you're lacking the ability to detect those with high spiritual energy." "The proof lies in the fact that you didn't notice my existence until today." "Sorry about that." "I'm bad at remembering people's faces." "I'm not talking about that." "From the time you entered school" "I knew that you had unusually high spiritual energy." "Also, that you became a Soul Reaper around the middle of May." "And..." "I know Rukia Kuchiki's true identity." "Spirit Ribbons!" "Yes, Spirit Ribbons." "The compression and manifestation of spiritual energy in the atmosphere." "And..." "What's this?" "!" "Your Spirit Ribbon." "You don't know?" "Soul Reapers' Spirit Ribbons have different colors." "Let us duel, Ichigo Kurosaki." "You or me..." "I'll show you who is the stronger." "And also, that Soul Reapers aren't necessary in this world." "Urahara Store It's a duel!" "Rock, Paper..." "Scissors!" "Look away, then show!" "Rock, Paper..." "Scissors!" "Look away, then show!" "I guess it's your turn to sweep, Jinta." "I didn't lose!" "I haven't lost yet!" "I said it's two out of three!" "You never said that!" "Never!" "Owwee!" "Oweee!" "Quit complaining!" "Ome more time, I said!" "What... are you doing, Jinta?" "3 meters Oh... nothing..." "Te..." "Eh..." "Mr. Tessai!" "Huh?" "You have some business today, Kuchiki?" "Huh?" "What's the matter?" "Is Urahara here?" "It's Kuchiki!" "What can I do for you-?" "!" ""What can I do for you"?" "!" "I called you time and time again, but you never answer!" "So I've come!" "Oh, I'm sorry." "We've been quite busy lately." "Say, what happened to that spiky-haired guy?" "Well, I don't like him, so it's better that he stayed away." "Hey Jinta!" "I need to ask you something." "What is it?" "A duel?" "You and me?" "That's right." "Hah!" "That's ridiculous!" "What?" "Why do I have to do such a stupid thing?" "!" "I don't know what kind of grudge you have against Soul Reapers, but it's got nothing to do with me." "How unexpected." "You're trying to get out of it?" "Don't try to goad me into it." "Besides, it would be no contest." "I see." "I just remembered." "You're a Soul Reaper who received your powers from Kuchiki..." "You're a substitute Soul Reaper." "Without her authority, you can't even lift a finger." "What?" "!" "Quincy?" "I haven't heard that name in a long time." "It has a nostalgic ring to it, doesn't it?" "It's been nearly 200 years since we heard that name." "What's it mean?" "Quincy..." "A tribe which once existed scattered throughout the world, which specialized in destroying Hollows." "They became extinct about 200 years ago." "Extinct?" "Yes..." "Humans who had powers like Kurosaki sensed the existence of Hollows and began to train to fight against them... that's how the tribe started." "Like Soul Reapers, their mission was to destroy Hollows." "However, there was one disctinct difference between them and Soul Reapers." "And that was, whether to kill Hollows or not." "The Soul Reapers seek to purify Hollows with their Zanpaku-to and allow them to cross over into the Soul Society." "But Quincys sought to totally kill them." "When you think about it, it was a very human thing to do." "Hollows devour human souls." "They hurt and kill our friends and family." "So why would you want to send them to the Soul Society peacefully?" "It was only natural that they opposed it." "So they always tried to kill Hollows." "They believed that they were avenging their comrades." "But due to that belief, they were destroyed." "Fine!" "Let's do it." "We'll have a duel!" "Hey Ichigo!" "Huh?" "You may've been obeying Rukia's orders, but how dare you stuff me in that bag?" "!" "Let's change." "Hey, wait!" "Not again?" "!" "Got it!" "Slimy..." "Kon, watch me." "I'm gonna kick his butt!" "Huh?" "All right, explain it to me... the rules of this battle." "Hurry!" "Though the voyage must continue on" "May seas always be calm" "When the cycle of the moon has renewed may it shine" "It's light to guide your boat" "I offer this voyage a prayer" "With each new day that still awaits" "On vividly shining seas" "To the end of the journey" "I'm Rukia Kuchiki, the prettiest girl in Bleach!" "Rukia's Q  A Corner I'd like to read you some letters today." "First from Momoko in the Nakano District." ""Rukia, what is the secret to your beauty?" "This is not the place for that!" " I'm waiting for your letters!" " No way!"
