Ikki had returned to the 4th Division...but Murisane was no longer there. He put his faith in the elder woman. She knew how to take care of herself. But he wasn't here for her. He was here to collect what was his; what was of the Oukami bloodline.
He walks into the Emergency Care Unit. The area was quite frantic, many shinigami running about. Poor things. Ikki's heart pained that he couldn't do more for these poor souls. And then, his eyes gaze upon a dreadful sight; the Oukami twins, side by side, in their eternal slumber of Death.
He walks up to them, eyes tearing. Why? Why must these two shining souls perish in this darkening world?
