bleach chapter 17.6/17
Ori- If I were the rain,
Could I connect with someone's heart,
As the rain can unite
The eternally separated earth and sky?
Ch.1
Ichi- That's why I thought
Ichi- I must protect them until I die.
Ichi- I thought that
17. 6/17
Kon- Hey!!
Kon- Wake up, Ichigo!!
Kon- It's daybreak!
Kon- It's mornin'! Mornin'!
Kon- Hurry and wake up or else I'll sneak inside your bag and go to school…
Kon- The girls in class will be saying "Ooh! Kurosaki walks around with a plushie? Weirdo!!"…
Kon- Yeow! Owowowowowow!
Kon- Le… leggo, you jerk!
Kon- Oof!
Ichi- I thought I told you to act like a normal, silent stuffed animal, Kon!
Ichi- Why is a stuffed animal moving?
Ichi- I guess the problem starts from there.
Ichi- Am I right?
Ichi- That guy is… that.
Ichi- Ummm…. Yeah.
(Label: "Mod-Soul")
Kon- Ouch…
Ichi- After that recent incident, we searched around everywhere for a body to put him into, but…
Ichi- We couldn't put him in a living thing, because the soul would come out like mine did before.
(Label over Ichigo: Never intended to put it in a human.)
(Label over Rukia and Ichigo: Looking for a stray cat run over by a car.)
Ichi- However, recently dead bodies are hard to find…
Ichi- Since we had no other choice, we put it in the mouth of a stuffed animal on the side of the road to try it out
Ichi- And we got this.
Kon- Ouch!! I told you to treat me gently!
Ichi- Who would have known it didn’t have to be a living thing?
Ichi- And I chose the name "Kon", because he is a "Kaizon Konpaku."* I could have chosen "Kai"…
Ichi- But since "Kai" sounded kinda cool, it pissed me off.
Kon- So, anyway…
(*Mod-Soul)
Ruki- It's still so early and you're loud!
Ruki- I can't even change my clothes in peace!
Kon- Umph!!
Ruki- Hm?
Kon- Na…
Kon- Nice Angle!!!
Kon- Owowowowowow!!
Kon- Stop! Stop! The cotton's coming out! The cotton!!
Ichi- Moron…
Ichi- Whoa!
Yuz- Bro~the~r!!
Ichi- H…
Ichi- Hide! Hide!!
Yuz- Can I come in?
Ichi- Oh… Sure!
Yuz- You know…
Yuz- Hey, what are you up to?
Ichi- Nuh… Nothing!
Ichi- Nothing, really!!
Ichi- What about you!? What do you want so early?
Yuz- It's not so early! Geez!
Yuz- Kojima-kun came over.
Ichi- Mizuiro?
Ichi- …say, what time is it now…
Ichi- WAAH!!
Yuz- That's right. Hurry up and get dessed.
Yuz- Afterwards, go apologize to Kojima-kun from Dad's window. (He's been waiting.)
Ichi- Sorry, Mizuiro!
Ichi- I just woke up!
Ichi- You want to come in and wait?
Miz- Okaaay!
Ichi- It seems that the guys at school at least had their memories of that incident (all that trouble caused by Kon) erased.
Ichi- Rukia said that the sandal-hat guy (I heard his name, but forgot it) must have worked hard.
Ichi- Something like, "They would be the ones in the most trouble, if things turned bad."
Ichi- Well, whatever the reason, I'm glad they don't remember. But, in the end, I didn`t get a chance to ask who that sandal-hat guy was...
Ichi- …hey, this isn't the time to think about this kind of stuff!!
Ruki- Ichigo!
Ruki- I'm going on ahead!
Ichi- All right!
Ichi- Awww, mann! Why, on this day, didn't dad come to wake me up!?
Ichi- Usually, he crashes in even when I don't ask…
Ruki- …What's wrong?
Ruki- …why the long face?
Ichi- …nothin'.
Ichi- …I see…
Ichi- …it's soon…
Ruk- …Ichigo?
Michi- Tatsuki~!
Tatsu- What?
Michi- Tatsuki, you have art class, right?
Tatsu- Yeah.
Michi- Did you do the project? "My Future Self"!
Tatsu- I did it but… Why do you ask?
Michi- Show me!
Michi- I'm not confident about mine!
Michi- Wow! Awesome!
Tatsu- I'll be the future champ of women's martial arts!
Michi- So cool… I really shouldn't show my crappy one…
Michi- Tatsuki is so good yet she doesn't want to be an artist…
Michi- How about you, Orihime? What did you draw?
Ori- Ehehe~! I wanted you to ask that!
Ori- In fact, I'm secretly proud of it!
Michi- Eh? I wonder what it's like…
(Sign on picture: "My Future Self")
Ori- Max speed is 380 km/h! Flames of 20,000 C shoot from the mouth and special destructo-beams from the eyes…
Michi- It's not like that, Orihime! That's different!
Tatsu- Y… you want to get detention again!?
Ori- Oh
Ori- Good morning, Kurosaki-kun!!
Ichi- Hey!
Ichi- Morning, Orihime!
Michi- Wha…What was that!? Ichigo's in a real good mood today.
Michi- Isn't he, Orihime!?
Ori- Why…
Ori- Is Ichigo so on edge?
Michi- …eh?
Michi- What are you talking about? That's the first time I saw Kurosaki-kun smiling like that…
Tatsu- Michiru
Tatsu- What day is today?
Michi- Eh? June 16th … so?
Tatsu- I see
Tatsu- Orihime
Tatsu- You're really amazing.
Tatsu- It took me three years to realize "that".
Ori- Tatsuki-chan…?
Tatsu- If you have some urgent business with Ichigo, finish it today.
Tatsu- …Because, he'll…
Tatsu- …be taking tomorrow off.
(Sign on Door: We regret to inform you that we won't be seeing patients tomorrow, the 17th. Kurosaki Clinic (Dad) )
Dad- And now,
Dad- I shall open the meeting to decide tomorrow's duties!!
Dad- To be honest, since the chairman is the Dad, then Dad has the final say in everything!!
Kari- Eeeh!? What's with that! That's not a meeting!
Dad- Hey!
Dad- Raise your hand before you comment, staff director!
Kari- S…staff director…
(Arrow says: That's not so bad.)
Dad- As always, Yuzu is the lunch staff.
Yuz- Okay!
Dad- Karin is the luggage carrier.
Kari- What!?
Dad- Oh, Dad cut his hair for tomorrow, what do you guys think?!
Kari- It's the same!!
Ruk- That looked fun.
Ichi- What did?
Ruk- What do you mean? I'm talking about that family meeting.
Ruk- What's it about?
Ruk- Are you going to skip school tomorrow and have a picnic?
Ichi- Hey, Rukia…
Ichi- I wonder if it's OK…
Ichi- …to take a break from my Shinigami work tomorrow…
Ichi- just for one day.
Ruk- Wha…
Ruk- What are you talking about!?
Ruk- Of course that's not possible!!
Ruk- What in the world is your problem!?
Ruk- Since this morning, you've seemed…
Ichi- It's an anniversary.
Ichi- Tomorrow is the day my Mom died.
Ichi- …no.
Ichi- That's not it.
Ichi- The truth is, it wasn't the day she died.
Ichi- It's the day she was killed.
