Karin: 'It's been a long time. Mom... How are you ? Well, you're dead, so not to great, I guess. We're all fine. Me, Yuzu, Ichigo... But... Goat chin over there is doing to well, and it's annoying.'
Isshin: Hey, it's time for the annual 'Kurosaki family tombstone dominoes tournament' !! A full two and a half hours of tombstone dominoes and embarrassing family fun !! Losers have to be the winner's slave for a week !! The first match, Ichigo VS me !!!
Yuzu: Please dad, stop !! Stop him, Ichigo !
Isshin: Okay, go !!
Yuzu: Dad !! If you do this, you won't get dinner tonight !!
Isshin: What !!
In the meantime, Rukia and I were looking at the scene from a cliff above them.
Rukia: He killed his mother ?
"I'm afraid it can't be that simple. Ichigo couldn't have intentionally hurt his mother. It was probably an accident."
Rukia: It is possible ! A hollow that came after you, might have accidentally...
Rukia: I'm such an idiot.
From inside her bag, a stuffed arm popped out.
Kon: Rukiaaaa ! Captainnn !
"I already asked you to stop call me that, Kon."
Rukia: What now, Kon ? I didn't say you could come out.
Kon: C'mon, Rukia. It's hot and stuffy in here. Have pity on me !
"Do you even breathe ?"
Kon: C'mon, let's go home. Ichigo wants to be left alone today, anyway.
Rukia: I told you... We have to stay close to him in case a hollow shows up. It's our duty.
Kon: Darn. I knew it. Dang it all, it's always hollows with you ! You know what they say about all work and no play. There's nothing here, let's go !
Rukia: I think... You may be right.
8 years sooner:
Tatsuki: Ichigo ? Is it true ? Can you really see ghosts ?
Ichigo: Of course not.
Tatsuki: That's what I thought. Those guys are full of crap. Mikami was saying, that you talk to things nobody else can see. She said they were ghosts.
Ichigo: You know... I've seen ghosts for as long as I can remember. I see them so clearly, that I couldn't tell the difference between the living and the dead when I was little. So I was used like that. Usually, I would just laugh it off, and they'd drop it. It didn't seem like a big problem. That's what I always though... Until... That day...
