I should set you all on fire.

What were you thinking?! Going into that bastard's turf like that? You guys could've...you guys could've gotten really hurt. You guys got things more important than me to worry about, damnit!

So when am I free to get out of here and go home?

[Filtered to the Twins.]

I'm back in Seireitei and alright, I'll be home whenever I'm allowed to leave the Fourth, and after some business is taken care of.

[Filtered to Ukitake-soutaichou]

I...need to talk to you.  I saw some things that I think you need to know about.

[Filtered to Friends, Family, and Cool People.]

So, who's interested in a pair of these...things? And this thing?

Went there before, will go again if I gotta. Like I was--like any of us were--going to leave you there. It doesn't work like that. That's really all there is to it, Kuukaku-san.

(... Isn't it about time I dropped the damn honorific?)

I should kick all your asses for letting Ganju come with you. Damnit, Ichigo, he's not even out of the Academy yet, not even a fully trained shinigai, and you let him go into Hueco Mundo?! I don't care if it was me or the love of his life, he had no business being there.

It was a stupid thing to do, thats all there is to it.

(Yeah, been waiting for ya to ask about that anyway)

Fine, you can punt me into orbit for that next time we meet, Kuukaku. But he came along when we were rescuing Rukia, and...

Yeah, it was dumb as all fuck, but I still had to go. Ganju made up his own mind. We can fight 'bout this till kingdom come and not change each other's minds.

You still in the Fourth? Should I drop by, annoy you some more?

Consider yourself space-bound then. First shinigami satellite, say hello to the Mir Space Station for me. Enjoy the ride, Ichigo.

[There's a brief snort over the line.]

What am I gonna do with you Shiba men?

Unohana-taichou wants to keep me another night, unfortunately, but she's allowing me late visitors, considering the nature of things. So come on over, being annoyed is better than bored.
