bleach chapter 9.Monster and a Transfer [Struck Down]
(Rough sketch of Yuzu and Midori)
Midori- Eeh!? You're going home because you're worried!?
No way! The teacher will get mad at me! What am I supposed to say!?
"Monster and a Transfer [Struck Down]"
Karin- Please save that kid…
Tell him that he can meet his mother if he goes to the other side…
Don't let him be alone anymore…
Ichi…
Rukia- Damn it… I can't catch up with him…!
If I didn't have this Gigai, this amount of speed would be nothing…!
[*Gigai - The temporary body that Shinigami use when they lose their powers. Presently, Rukia is in one.]
To begin with, the physical capability of this Gigai is equal to a normal person, so that's bad.
Those lunatics at the Development Department! They do nothing but pay attention to the unnecessary points!
…no…
…I'm getting out of breath…
Hollow-You smell nice…!
Hollow- You've got a very tasty scent…
Let me eat…
…that soul of yours!
Rukia- ____Oh, no…!
Because I was chasing him, I didn't watch my back…
Ichigo- …several years have passed…
…since I've seen Karin's crying face…
Up until Mom's death,
Karin was a crybaby just like Yuzu was…
With Mom's death,
Handy and steadfast, Yuzu filled the void Mom left by doing all the housework.
Karin wasn't handy like that. The least she could do was not make Yuzu and the rest of us worry about her.
So, no matter what, she didn't cry…
Even when she was in first grade and lost a fight with a sixth grader, even when she was in second grade and got chewed out in the principle's office for throwing a ball too hard, even when she was in third grade and she broke her leg while hiking,
She didn't cry even once.
Ichigo- …Don't cry, Karin…
Because I will definitely…
Send that spirit to be with his mother…
Hollow- Heh…
You didn't die from one hit, huh… You're really something…
Plus, it seems that you can see me…
What in the world are you…
Rukia- "Dominator!"
"Mask of Flesh and Blood. All Living Beings. Fluttering. That which has the name HUMAN"
"Truth and Temperance"
"Slightly Imbed Your Claws into the Walls of Innocent Dreams"
Rukia- Destructive Art 33
Blue Fire Fall!!
I could fire it!
Yes! Some of my power is returning…
! …wha…
Rukia- Ugh…
No way…
Not even a scratch…!?
Hollow- Hehe…
I recognize that spell just now…
It's Shinigami magic…!
Am I right!?
But your's is weak. I didn't feel anything…!
Rukia- Dammit…
So I haven't recovered enough to use that level of demon art.
Hollow- So… you were a Shinigami, then…
That explains why your scent is so tasty…!
Shinigami… that brings back good memories…
You know, I…
Have eaten two Shinigami who came to send that brat to the afterlife…
They tasted the best…
Rukia- That brat…
You mean the spirit inside of the parakeet…!!
Hollow- Yup…
Rukia- It seems that you're persistently chasing that brat around…
Why?
Hollow- Who knows…?
I'll tell you if you quietly let me eat you.
Rukia- Bastard…!
Chad- …what was that… sound?
Shibata- …someone is being attacked…
Chad- !?
Shibata- The lady who was chasing us…
Is being attacked…
By the guy who's attacking us…
Chad- Oh…
You stay here…
Shibata- Eh? What are you gonna do, Mister?
Chad- …Go and help.
Shibata- D…
Don't do it, Mister! It's dangerous!!
Shibata- Nooo. Not that!
I didn't meant thta if I'm left in the road, I'd be in danger of getting hit by a car...
Aww, man!!
Mister, you can't see ghosts, right!?
Don't do it! That guy will get you!!
Wait, Mister!!
Mister~~!!
Hollow- …you're so weak… you really a Shinigami?
Why don't you shed that human shell?
Eh?
Rukia- Guh…!
Chad- …mmph…
Hollow- GUAAAA!!
Chad- Did... I…
…hit him…?
Rukia- …wha…
He… he punched the Hollow…!?
This guy… can actually see Hollows…!?
No…
Chad- Hah!
Hah!
Rukia- It's not that at all…
Hollow- What the heck… hehe… he scared the shit outta me, but it's just a fluke…
I thought that he could see me…
Hollow- Oof!!
Chad- …yeah. I hit him…
Rukia-N...!!
Rukia- No way…! It's true that normal people can touch Hollows and Shinigami, since they have high-density spirit bodies…
However, they cannot see their forms! He shouldn't be able to see the Hollow's form, nor hear his voice.
Against the existence of his enemy he can't sense, how can he fight so calmly like this…
This guy…
Has he no sense of fear?
Hollow- Da… Dammit…
Rukia- Wha…
Hollow- HYAHAHAHAHA!!
You can't attack me this way!!
Right!? What are you gonna do? Loser Shinigami!!
Chad- …?
Rukia- Don't space out!
Run away! He's flying!
Chad- …Transfer student…
You…
…can see ghosts…?
Rukia- That doesn't matter right now!
Anyway, we can't attack from this distan -
Chad- …where?
Rukia- …what?
Chad- …he's flying, so…
...which direction…?
Rukia-Why can you do if you know tha....
Chad- ____I'd do this.
Hollow- HYAHAHAHAHA!!
We~~~lll!! What shall I do!! Swoop down from here and strike like a falcon?
…Ah?
Chad- AAAUUGHHH
Chad- AAAAAAAUUUGHHH
Hollow- WHAT THE HELL~~!!
Chad- …So.
…which direction?
Rukia- Right there!!
Just swing it down!!
Hollow- YAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!
back?
