[ Hello, again, Promenade. It's your neighborhood wookie shinigami daiko staring at the camera again. Well, actually it's more like scowling. ]
So. Figured out who the killer was , fat lot of good it does now.

TENEKA still works, dumbass. And the idea is to get better - stronger.
But, I figure you, and Heine would be pretty evenly matched if you guys went hand-to-hand.

Heine? The gun guy? Tch. He's toast.

And it's better to do this at night. You know why.
...Hn. Don't underestimate him. He's pretty good, even without those guns.

I'm better.

Well, looks like you'll have to get used to it, huh?

Or I could leave my fucking Portal at home and not deal with that shit.

Not try to take over my body, that's what! Did it ever occur to you that maybe I'd have been a hell of a lot more willing to work with you if you hadn't been such a dick about it?! If I listen, you got stronger, when I didn't fight you, you'd take over!
You're the one that started this rivalry! And since you've got your own body right now, I've been doing my fucking best to treat you like a person when you act like a person! I'll work with you now, and I would have worked with you before, but you're the one who made the threats. You told me yourself that if I slipped up, even once, you'd destroy me.
I couldn't let you do that.

A Hollow wrapped up conveniently in a Soul Reaper package? I got food, shelter, protection from the other Shinigami and access to a Zanpakutou. Sure it was boring as shit, but it beats a normal Hollow's life out any day!
Just had to keep you on your toes, is all. Though even WITH my threats, you got sloppy. Sloppy gets you dead. Gets us dead. I'll remind you I never made good on that threat after ya beat me, even when your resolve slipped and it would have been so fuckin' easy. I only took over then because you were dead, or about four seconds from it. Understand?
I became a rival because a rival was what you needed. Someone breathin' down your neck every time you fall down, forcing you to get back up.
My threats kept you sharp, kept you focused, kept you moving forward. [Sound familiar, Ichigo?]
You really are an idiot.

[ Erk...okay, yeah, that feels kind of like a low blow, borrowing Zangetsu's words. But, it's probably doing the job of making Ichigo think quite well. ]
I...[ I didn't slip...only he did. And he knows it. And it scares the shit out of him. ] Your...You taking over almost got Ishida killed. Whatever I've done that was wrong, I wouldn't ever attack my friends. If all that stuff about instinct was your way of just fucking with me, then why did you take it that far?!
Reply
[quietly] Anyone can lose control of their instincts. Even me. [at a normal volume, now, and even a bit playfully] Besides, that fucking guy pisses me right off! He had the balls to walk up to me and tell me to stop, who the hell is he! When I knew fer a damn fact that batwinged bastard wasn't dead yet.

[ Of course, this is also Ichigo. All his life he's had more power than everyone else. Even when he didn't know how to tap into it, as long as he kept fighting, and kept his resolve, his power would answer...so this one time when his power not only answered, but consumed him has shaken a lot of his personal beliefs. He's not scared of you Shiro, he's scared of losing control of himself. ]
Ishida was right to stop you. And he didn't attack you, you ass! He just stopped you! You can't hurt people like that! Or else you're no different than Grand fucking Fisher!

[Shiro just huffs, sounding a bit put out now]
He was foolish to get in my way. He'd seen my power. I was finishing the job I'd been given, and he interfered. Don't read too much into it. If it's any fuckin' consolation, had my wits been totally gathered, I wouldn't have injured him. [as badly.]

I'll fight to keep my friends safe, and I'll win. But I will not ever become an executioner. It's not my place, or yours, or anyone else's to decide who lives, and who dies.
If you ever go after one of my friends again, I'll stop you. And I'll keep stopping you every time. No matter how hard it is, or how powerful you get. I will always, always stop you.
