Bleach (BLEACH)

Zabimaru?

-How long are you going to lie there?

Lazy scumbag.

-We haven't seen each other in all this time,

and that's the kind of greeting I get from you?

Your manners certainly do leave something to be desired.

-I'm recovered and ready to fight again.

Now I'm just waiting for you.

It's time you did your part.

That's right.

Now get out of that bed and get healed so we can fight again.

I want to take on that Zangetsu one more time.

And this time, I guarantee--

We're going to win.

You idiot.

You must have been brain damaged in that battle.

Huh?

-He's no longer the one I must fight.

He's not?

Well then.

Who is it?

Who will you fight now?

So you leave me no choice.

Before you become too full of yourself,

I shall show you the difference between us.

-The gap in power you could never hope to bridge,

not even if you had 1,000 years of training.

Run, Ichigo, run!

Scatter.

Yoruichi.

It's been a long time, Byakuya.

Yoruichi Shihoin.

Do you know who that is?

I've never seen her before.

-No, but, I have heard that name somewhere.

She's the--

-The former Commander in charge of the Stealth Force.

And Ex-general of the 1st Division Punishment Force.

Yoruichi Shihoin.

I haven't seen your face in awhile.

You've been in hiding for over 100 years.

I thought you were dead.

Yoruichi.

You came here to rescue me, I realize that.

I appreciate it.

But at the moment, I need you to step aside

so I can beat this guy.

Beat him?

You think you can beat this guy?

You are a fool.

What?

What are you doing, Yoruichi?

It's a drug, isn't it?

A powerful anaesthetic, maybe goten or hoten,

forced directly into his body to try to save him.

What do you intend to do with him, Yoruichi?

Ukitake.

-Don't waste your time trying to help him.

Neither of you will ever escape from here.

-My, just listen to you, talking like such a big shot now,

Byakuya.

And yet, I don't believe you've ever

beaten me, even once, at a game of tag, have you?

Shall we give it another try?

-Did you really think you could escape,

with a flash step that slow?

-Did you really think you could capture me,

with a flash step that predictable?

Three days.

In three days I shall make this boy stronger than you.

Until then, consider the fight between you two postponed.

Feel free to give chase if you wish,

but Yoruichi Shihoin is not about to be

caught by the likes of you.

-So you're letting them get away?

Hey!

Byakuya, where are you going?

I thought you came to capture the Ryoka?

I've lost interest.

Do whatever you want with them.

Typical.

He does whatever he feels like.

Rukia!

What's the matter?

-Once Byakuya left, the tension drained out of her.

I can't blame her.

Hey!

Kiyone, Sentaro, get down here, now!

At your service, Captain.

What are your orders?

-I had a feeling you two were following me.

How long were you there?

-We arrived just in time to witness

you stop Captain Kuchiki from swinging his sword,

and to hear you tell him his behavior was dangerous,

my Captain.

-So you've been hear right from the start.

Didn't I tell you to stay away til this was resolved?

Forgive me, sir.

It's just that I respect you so much that I was compelled

to follow, in case something happened,

and you needed my assistance, sir!

No way!

What are you talking about, Sentaro?

Captain!

I'm the one with the greatest respect for you.

In fact, I'd say I love you!

I-- Let's just say I respect you a lot.

What?

Why do you always have to horn in on my action?

I respected him first.

And I respect him way more than you.

Huh?

Why don't you just shut up, you moron!

-Why don't you make me, you blockhead?

You want to fight?

Let's go.

Enough.

-Kiyone, we need to get medical attention for this wounded man.

I'm afraid he's in bad shape.

Yes, sir.

-Have Squad Force send an advanced relief squad at once.

Sentaro, I want you to take care of Rukia.

Carry her back to her prison cell.

Right.

Move it.

No, no I can't!

I can't let you put Rukia back in that cell.

-Get out of the way now, booger face!

You think I want to put her back in that damn place?

Orders are orders, and that's that.

I'm sorry, Rukia.

But Captain Ukitake will appeal to the top brass

on your behalf.

And we'll get you out of there, soon.

Huh?

Until then, please be patient.

-What are you talking about, Sentaro?

I'm much more concerned about her than you are,

and I'm the one who's going to get her out.

Now listen.

The Captain and I will do everything

we can to see that you are released as soon as possible.

-Ah, why do you have to copy everything I say, you airhead?

I out to kick your bony little butt.

Go ahead and try.

I would.

But I've been given orders, and so have you!

You shut up!

I was on my way to Squad Four already!

Um, um sir?

-You probably want to know why I'm helping you, don't you?

Yes, sir.

It's only logical, really.

We still don't know who killed Aizen,

and you troublemakers are certainly

prime suspects, and an important source of information.

Wouldn't want to kill you until we've investigated.

There's one other reason.

Though your efforts may have been clumsy, the fact is, you

and your friend here were trying to save one of my officers.

Honor would never let me stand by idly and watch you die.

Sir!

No Ryoka back there either, sir!

Very well.

This area is secure, then.

Hey there, you men go and search the Higashi Nijo area.

And look sharp now, these Ryoka are damn sneaky.

Thank you for reporting in.

Come to think of it though, I've never seen the two of you

before.

Are you new here?

Yes, sir.

We just joined up this last term, as a matter of fact.

I'm Orihime, at your service, sir!

And I'm Uryu.

I'm glad we could be of help, sir.

Mm.

Mm.

Mm.

Mm.

You know, you should come over to my place tonight, my dear.

Huh?

-Yes, it would be quite an honor.

At least for you, that is.

No doubt you've heard of me before.

I'm Toshimori Umesada, and this year I

made 15th season on a 20 seat Squad Nine.

I'm not one to boast, but I'm clearly

going places in my squad.

So what do you say, my dear?

I'll treat you good, and--

-At a time like this, with Ryoka on the loose

and a wartime alert having been issued,

I hardly think a seat Officer would dare take the time

to be propositioning women, sir.

Why you-- What?

How dare you lecture me about proper conduct,

you insolent slug!

Umesada, sir!
