I'm kinda hopin' Ulquiorra made it back too. Ain't fun if tha one tha' could match ya winds up dead 'cause ya both lost yer powers. A' least I didn't die. Wouldn't ever live it down if I wound up dyin' ta some sort o' dog things. Annoyin' dog things. Five o' 'em, bone-thin, movin' so fast... Wouldn't o' been a problem if I'd been any sort o' normal.

Heh. Not like I've ever been any sort o' normal.

'cept now.

A' least I didn't lose everythin'. Muscle stays tha same. Miss tha zanpakutou, though. Ain't worth frettin' over, I guess.

Kakashi, ya 'round? Had a question 'r two.
