[bunniefuu]

Zanpakuto

Their shape and abilities arebased on their Soul Reaper's soul.

Soul Reapers gain power

by learning their namesand synergizing with them.

They are born with Soul Reapersand die with Soul Reapers.

That is what Zanpakuto are.

Why?

Why have I been abandoned?

Orihime!

Oh, I'm glad you're okay!

Huh?

It's because someone attackeda girl in high school yesterday.

Jeez!

I was worried that it might havebeen my precious Orihime!

It's scary, isn't it?

Who's doing it?

Is someone just assaultingpeople randomly?

You're the assailant!

Okay, sit down!

I'm going to introducea new transfer student!

OSKYOKO HAIDA

Sister

This is Kyoko Haida!

She's your classmate now!

I want you all toget along with her!

Pleased to meet you.

OSURAHARA'S SHOP

A high school girl was att*cked?

That's right.

It seems there was a pink bearon her cellphone.

How did you find about that?That a weird detail to know.

That's a secret.

Let's just say, it takesa thief to catch a thief

Oh?

So do you think this has somethingto do with the sword beasts?

The sword beasts are unstable,

so it's very difficult totrack their spiritual pressure.

I'm not certain, but a sword beastmay be involved.

A Zanpakuto isattacking humans

This isn't good.

Hello.

Huh?

Oh, hello.

Could you tell me your name?

I'm Orihime Inoue.Pleased to meet you.

Orihime!

What are you doing?Lunch is going to end soon!

Oh, okay. I'm going right now!

Care to come with us,Miss Haida?

Huh?

Huh?

Hey, hey, hey, hey,I just heard from Ms. Ochi that

Miss Haida is incredibly smart,and is great at sports.

What? That's amazing!

Come to think of it

She solved that difficult problemin math class easily today.

So did Ms. Ochi tell youwhy she transferred here?

She said she didn't really know.

As mentioned in our report,

we found a high school age girlin the back alley of -chome,

and have taken her into custody.

She is in a state of shock,but she is in stable condition.

Is it the spiritual pressureof a Sword Beast?

No.

It seems different froma Sword Beast.

What's going on?

We might find something out.

Let's go down.

Okay.

That's

Whoa!It's like she plays for the NBA!

She really is great at sports

I'm sorry! Are you all right?!

Time out!

Sorry.

I didn't mean to shove you.

Are you all right?

Can someone take herto the infirmary?

We're almost at the infirmary.

The nurse is really great.

She'll make youfeel better right away.

It's just a little further.

And it was just terrible.

Are you all right, Miss Haida?

I knew it.

Huh?

I knew that you were special.

Special?

That power

You're a special humanwith special powers.

You are worthy of me.

Worthy?

I have special powers too.

We both have special powers.

I'm saying thatwe should be friends.

I'm not a special human.

Like you said, I do havea strange power, but that's it.

Besides

That's what peoplecall "special"!

In that case, should I telleveryone about your special power?

I'm sure that all of your goodfriends will be terrified of you!

Why?

Why would you say that?

Kyoko!

Mai

We were always together.

She was the only oneI could call a friend.

Kyoko!

Things about school,things about home,

things aboutthe people we liked

She was a friend thatI could talk to about anything.

We trusted andaccepted each other.

Even if I wasn't a normal person,

I never doubted thatshe would accept me.

That probably won'tbe on the test.

Huh? Butour teachersaid it would.

Really? But this one'sgoing to be on the test.

I can tell.

You're kidding.

You said that youwanted this, right?

Oh? You did that for me?

Thanks!

See you later.

Mai!

Kyoko?

Are you going out with him?

He's bad news.

Huh?

No one knows about this,

but he has lotsof other girlfriends

and he's careless with money.

Sorry for saying this.

But I can't stand tosee him deceive you.

So don't go out with him.

Mai?

I'm scared.

Huh?

You're creepy, Kyoko.

Umm

Stay away!

Mai

No

Don't come near me anymore!

Miss Haida

Miss Haida?

Hey

Can't we be friendsregardless of

whether or not wehave special powers?

Huh?

Let's be friends.

Miss Haida?

This is

Why?

Miss Haida!

Miss Haida!

Was that a Zanpakuto?

Rukia, just now

Yeah.

It was just for a moment,

but that was the same spiritualpressure we sensed last night.

Let's go, Ichigo.

It's near Karakura High School.

What did you say?!

I hope you weren'ttaking her seriously.

If I hadn't shown upat that moment,

you would have madethe same mistake again.

Those who are always surroundedby friends have it so easy.

They can't understandthe feelings of people

who have been abandoned,like us.

But

What is it?

She said that shewanted to be my friend.

She didn't really mean it.

You think so?

Of course. Have you forgotten?

You and I havebeen traumatized

by the experienceof being abandoned.

That's why we weredrawn to each other.

I understand your irritation.

Express your feelings.

There is no need to hesitate.

If you hesitate, your heart will be crushed.

You want to k*ll that girlMai Suzuki, don't you?

No, I don't!

I'll carry out your wish.

Wait!

Stop.

What are you doing?!

Hey, could you take overmy cleanup duty today?

“ What?“ And then, that girl

Huh?

Was that?

What are you going to do to me?

Stop!

Why?

Kyoko, I was trying togrant your wish.

Why are you interfering?

No This is not what I want.

Please forgive me.

I was wrong.

Mai It's all right. I

Stop! Help me!

You're got it all wrong!

Listen to me, Mai!

Listen to what I have to say!

No!

Mai!

No one will believe me.

Good bye.

Your heart is completelysynchronized with mine now.

I've been waitingfor this moment.

You're mine now.

Miss Haida!

Miss Haida!

It's you!

What have you doneto Miss Haida?!

Bring her back!

Silence!

Ichigo!

Rukia!

I thought it hadan odd spiritual pressure.

It was becauseit was fused to a human.

Who are you?!

Ichigo Kurosaki

I'm a Soul Reaper Substitute!

I see

I've heard things about you.

What should we do?

We must be careful.

But

If she's been completelyabsorbed by the sword beast

and has lost her human heart,

we have no choice but to k*ll her.

Wait!

What is it?

Miss Haida hasn't lost her heart.

What?

She's suffering.

Stop the nonsense!

Yeah, it's faint, but I feel it.

What should we do?!

Please!

Release Miss Haida's heart!

That's out of the question.

Then will you take her place?

I might let Kyoko Haida goif you say you'll be mine.

You should already know.

What?

No one can belong to you.

Neither me, nor Miss Haida,nor anyone else

It's just an illusion you created.

What do you know?!

My master despised meand d*ed without me by his side.

I was trying to die withoutanyone ever finding me.

I won't listen to your ideals!

I will absorb everything I can!

I will gain power and showeveryone what I can do!

Stop being selfish!

Miss Haida!

Miss Haida!

She's suffering.

Inoue!

“ Huh?“ Use your Sotenkishun!

You should be able to separatethe sword beast from its host!

Okay!

Sotenkishun!

I reject!

Now, Ichigo!

Getsugatensho!

I wiped Mai Suzuki's memory.

Miss Haida!

Miss Inoue!

Let's walk home together.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

You want to stop by a sweets shop,don't you, Miss Inoue?

What? How can you tell?!

By the look on your face.

Where's Ishida and Chad?

Chad found a stray cat andtook it to the animal hospital.

Uryu has the stomach flu.

What? I was with himall day yesterday.

This is bad! I need to gargleand wash my hands.

I think it's too late now.

Wait, what's this? Oh noI feel like I'm getting stabbed

Illustrated Guide to Soul Reapers!

OSYAKITORI

Lieutenant Sasakibe

Why do you look so gloomy?

To tell you the truth

Gonryomaru manifested himself

because he didn't like howI disappear into the background.

Recently, I was thinkingabout that too

What?

When did you get here,Lieutenant Sasakibe?

No one notices me

I understand!

I'll do something about it!
