I assume you've already seen this, Urahara-san. So you can guess what I'm gonna ask. I don't know where Ichimaru took Ishida, but I need to find them. You're pretty much the first and only person I can ask.

You'd think after all we've done for the guy he'd at least stop being a dick to us all the time.

I can't keep leaving my post to go rescue folks all the time, but you've got my arm after hours and on the weekends. Just holler.

Stupid fuckin' Quincy; I'll bash his teeth in we get him outta this one...

I can't keep leavin' my post for stupid shit like this. It's "Officer Kurosaki" and not "Substitute Kurosaki" now, ehhh.

And you can bet when we finally find Ishida, he's gonna be just as pissy and haughty as ever. "I do not require your assistance, you substandard life forms, I was doing perfectly well vanquishing Ichimaru with my QUINCY PRIDE and this small twig."

Hah, you know, I almost forgot. Officer Kurosaki it is. I'll get ya a little sheriff's badge or somethin' to commemorate.

I vote we figure out a way to make him sweat this time. Save his ass, sure, but make him worry we ain't comin'. And videotape him biting his nails so we can save it for posterity.

If you want it stuffed up your nose--right after we finish hanging Ishida up by his toes--sure, go right ahead, champ. It's bad enough I had to sew the new division emblems on all my goddamn uniforms.

Make him ruin his manicure, then rescue his bony Quincy butt? That's not just evil, that's practically diabolical.

Let's do it.

I'm fine. I've been at Urahara-san's.

...

I saw the video.

Good. Stay there. I gotta recommend that right now.

Yeah, I did, too. I'm taking steps here. Ishida may be a dumbass, but he's our dumbass, so here we go again.

I did indeed see. I do have to wonder what on earth Ichimaru would want with Ishida-san. Well, nevertheless, I do have a few new little contraptions I need to test out anyway; perhaps they'll be of use in this situation. My resources are at your disposal--it wouldn't do to divide the team now.

The obvious answer to that is "yank our chain", define the "us" as you like.

Thanks. They can't do worse than tryin' to stand on top of Soukyoku Hill scanning for either bastard's reiatsu. I'll be over as soon as I can.

[shady_shopkeep]

They're actually more geared to work in the living world, as I imagine there is enough reiatsu-sensing manpower in Soul Society already. Though you can surely take a few with you to sniff around the less pleasant parts of Rukongai if you like. I can carry the hunt on this side of the gate.

[fighting_boy]

I was thinking I'd ask Renji to keep an eye out in Soul Society--he knows Rukongai a hell of a lot better than I do. So I'll stick around, if you don't mind.

Thanks again. I bet I owe you a few months of spit-polishing the Shouten for this. At the outset.

... I might just make Ishida take up some of those shifts.

...Yeah? Why wouldn't I be?

[Private to Little Sister]

[fighting_boy]

Just wondering.

So when can you sneak off over here? This weekend, maybe? Sorry you were thwarted on New Year's. I need to take you to meet Kuukaku, anyway.

[private to big bro]

[number_one_red]

Yeah, I should have known the old man would have a fit if I tried to go anywhere on New Years. But this weekend should be fine--I'll tell him I've got an important recreational meeting to go to. It's not a total lie.

...Kuukaku?

[Private]

[fighting_boy]

I approve of not-quite-total lies. Especially if I can smuggle you to Seireitei on them.

Kuukaku as in "Cousin Kuukaku", fireworks master, kidou specialist and all around scary lady of the Shiba side of the family. I'm willing to bet you'll get along like a house on fire.

Yeah. I'm doing fine, Ichigo.

[Living World Filter]

[fighting_boy]

Good.

I'll let you know when I find something.

Thanks, I'll be waiting to hear from you.
