TZC: Ichigo and Zangetsu C3, B Side-Ryuujin Jakka and Suzumebachi
Ryuujin Jakka left the seeming chill of Zangetsu’s skyscraper garden and returned to his own world of lava and flames. He found his shinigami waiting for him.
What did you observe?
He’ll be trouble. But he’d be even more trouble if we tried to control him.
Ichigo or Zangetsu?
Both. Zangetsu answers only to Ichigo. He would never tolerate another master.
Very well.
They fell silent then, leaving the roar of the flames as the only sound.
-------------
Soi Fon met Suzumebachi when he returned from his mission to Zangetsu’s world.
Were you able to breach his defenses.
It wasn’t a question. Soi Fon did not tolerate uncertainty.
No. I was unable to enter until he allowed it. Were they to turn against us…
We will have to be especially vigilant, then, so that they do not.
