Ichigo: Where... am I?
Yoruichi: Glad to see you up, sleeping beauty
Ichigo: Huh?
Ichigo: Yoruichi
Yoruichi: You look better than we hoped you’d be. How are ya?
Ichigo: Sore, but I can’t complain.
Yoruichi: Can’t say I blame ya, considering how many time you got yourself stabbed and cut by various blades, but getting gashed by a revving chainsaw?
Yoruichi: you’re lucky to be alive… somewhat in what you’ll call being alive in hell is.
Ichigo: Lucky me… where the hell am I? A hospital?
Yoruichi: St. An's, Hell’s best hospital in the Sloth Ring. We managed to close the wounds before it’s too late.
Yoruichi: You almost became Hell’s permanent resident when Denji did a number on you.
Yoruichi: Fortunately your Blut Vene and Hollow regeneration saved you. but you still needed surgery to close the gash and stem the bleeding.
Ichigo: Where is Denji?
Yoruichi: Denji's half-contained at the Hell Reaper barracks’ dungeon. he’s under suspension and needs to reflect on what he did.
Ichigo: And Rukia?
Yoruichi: She’s fine, shaken but unharmed.
Ichigo: The Soul Society is not gonna be happy with us getting in their way.
Yoruichi: as far as we’re concerned, they got in our way. we were first to bag them scumbags. you should be proud, Ichigo.
Ichigo: At the moment, I feel agony, damn it Denji.
Denji: Oh will you shut the hell up! Y’all are too damn loud!
Yoruichi: You're lucky Sloth's medics are this good. Get some Rest.
Ichigo: what about the bounties, and the Damashigami?
Yoruichi: all bagged, except for a few we missed which we assume are in Soul Society custody. but we gathered enough to make quite a dent on that dent of yours.
Ichigo: that… good to know. so what will happen to them? Tartarus, I reckon?
Yoruichi: At the moment Ukitake is undergoing the interrogation on them as we speak. Damashigami aren’t this organised and it concerns us.
Ichigo: how so?
Yoruichi: The Damashigami are nothing but common thugs, but are an issue if along.
Yoruichi: But these Damashigami, they shouldn’t be in this large number, and more organised. something is up.
Ichigo: Just as Rukia suspected, so we’re gonna make then talk, huh?
Yoruichi: That’s right. Ukitake and Unohana can be… immensely ruthless now they are Hell Reapers. if someone can make sinner confess and regret their sins…
Yoruichi: it’s them.
Ichigo: huh, strange to picture them being ruthless.
Yoruichi: Ukitake maybe, but Unohana is… complicated to explain. now rest, you’ll need it.
Ichigo: Not sure if I pity those bastards… I mean, they were Soul Reapers once.
Zangetsu: Don’t pity the foolish, King. I don’t… and still don’t.
Ichigo: Yeah, yeah, I was a fool for not noticing you were my true Zanpakuto and believed in the old man. who I still by the way.
Zangetsu: Me too, it’s lonely in your mind. not much of a talker but not bad company.
Damashigami: please spare us
Damashigami: we’re sorry
Damashigami: don’t make me go back to that devil woman, please!!!
Denji: Oh you shut the hell up! your insistent whining is getting on my nerves!
Denji: Yoruichi! Get me out of here! I can't take the moaning anymore!
Yoruichi: ...no
Denji: Damn it! I’m sorry, alright! I didn’t mean to injure Kurosaki.
Yoruichi: I know you are, but you still need to be punished for not telling the difference between Soul Reapers and Damashigami.
Denji: how can I? they all look the same!
Yoruichi: … it seems you haven’t learned your lesson. another 3 days should do it.
Denji: 3 days, oh come on, Yoruichi. Yoruichi? Yoruichi! don’t leave me! they’re so fucking miserable!
Denji: Yoruichi!!!
Damashigami: please get us out!!!
Denji: Oh will you please…SHUT UP!!!
Ukitake: Yoruichi, glad for you to join us.
Ukitake: How is Ichigo-kun?
Yoruichi: He’ll live, a few days of rest and he’ll be back on his feet. Though I suggest a week would do him wonders.
Ukitake: Glad to see you still care.
Yoruichi: Of course I care, he’s done so much for us. and I wouldn’t want to lose such a good friend.
Ukitake: Good friend? That’s not what Lord Asmodeus told me.
Yoruichi: Of course you and he know. That was just a fling… ha, ok it’s more than that. But seriously, we’re just friends. just with some benefits.
Ukitake: Poor Orihime
Yoruichi: Oh no, Orihime suggested it. Yeah I was shocked by it than Ichigo. Especially when she watched… or joined.
Ukitake: Damn, never knew she’d be into that.
Yoruichi: yeah, and I thought I knew her so well. anyway how’s the interrogation processing?
Ukitake: Not well,I afraid. this one is very stubborn compared to the others we interrogated. but Unohana-sama is getting there.
Ukitake: concidering this one has lasted than the others. the rest are too scared out of their wits and too broken to even talk. but this one is resilient.
Yoruichi: going full Kenpachi is she?
Ukitake: Yeah, which is very terrifying when she was so eager to go all out for this. must’ve gotten bored playing the nice doctor all those years.
Yoruichi: for a thousand years… who can blame her. good thing she’s on our side huh?
Ukitake: Meaning she that she got bored of killing back then. now? it seems being in Hell has rekindled her blood lust.
Yachiru Unohana: if you two are done talking about me, perhaps you can begin with the questions?
Ukitake: oh right, sorry Unohana-sama.
Ukitake: Tell us who organised you operations. there is no way low lives like you are that clever to run your organisation. so tell who your boss is.
Damashigami: Go rot, Hell Reaper. I’ll die before I answer a washed-up captain.
Ukitake: Please continue, Unohana-sama.
Yachiru Unohana: So be it.
Damashigami: AAGH! You sadistic—!
Yachiru Unohana: The body will heal. But the pain will continue if you don’t start talking. so do yourself a favour and talk.
Damashigami: S-screw you, the boss will not be stopped by any of you, neither Soul Society nor Hell Reaper. he’ll run you down, especially when he’s got the- the-
Damashigami: Guh…
Yachiru Unohana: He seems to have passed out, Ukitake-san
Ukitake: bring in the next on for questioning, perhaps that is more persuasive than this one.
Ukitake: They’re more resilient than expected. We’re getting nowhere.
Yoruichi: Stubborn bastards. They’ll crack eventually, but it may take more than patience.
Ukitake: it’ll take more than patience, I’m afraid. Go and clock out, Yoruichi-san. you could use some rest yourself.
Yoruichi: are you sure you don’t need me for this? I am a former member of Soul Society’s Stealth Force and specialsed in interrogation.
Ukitake: it’ll make very little difference, but you’ve done enough for today. now go, rest and enjoy yourself.
Yoruichi: …alright, if you insist. There’s a party at Lady Bee’s in Gluttony I’m invited to. might as well go there and let loose for a change.
Ukitake: Have fun, and give Lady Bee my regards.
