“Hello Captain Karin.” Captain Aaron said with a grin. “I can understand what you are saying.”

Captain Karin gave Captain Aaron and Tusado a dirty look. “So let me get this straight. Tusado wanted Emashi and Clema back only to get this certain item she holds?”

“Correct.” Tusado said smiling.

“And since Soria is so clingy to you Captain Aaron, you had no choice but to kill her because you were worried that she would get in the way?” Captain Karin continued.

“You pick up on things quickly.” Captain Aaron said. “Everything you said was right.”

“And what is this item?” Captain Karin asked.

Captain Aaron frowned. “I cannot tell you that at the moment.”

Suddenly, there was a fierce wind in the Central Office. Captain Karin struggled to see Captain Aaron and Tusado. They were smiling. “Goodbye Karin.” Tusado said.

Captain Aaron smiled and they both disappeared. The wind died down.

“Damn!” Captain Karin yelled.

She rushed over to Captain Ishimaru. “I know very little Medical Jutsu, maybe I can save him and Soria… Whats important now is saving these two… Captain Aaron and Tusado will have to wait…”

Clema was looking out her jail cell window. “5 days until the execution…Emashi…”

“Wow.” Naruto said looking up at the Jail Tower. “So she is up there.”

“That’s what the lady said.” Sakura answered.

Suddenly, Sakura caught sight of Captain Ruko walking toward the tower.

“Naruto! We have to hide!” Sakura said grabbing his arm. They ran across the bridge with fog under it.

Clema looked at the bridge and caught sight of yellow and pink hair. “It can’t be!” Clema said trying to get a better look. “Sakura and Naruto are here too?!”

“Why!?” Naruto said as they stopped. “Captain Ruko was over there, if he saw me, he would recognize me.” Sakura answered quickly.

“That reminds me, look out for a guy with red hair named Chiryuu.” Naruto said. “If he sees me he would recognize me.”

“We better wait awhile to make sure Captain Ruko isn’t over there by the Jail Tower.” Sakura said sitting down on a rock.

Naruto sat next to her. “I wonder why there is fog under that bridge.” He said looking at it.

Meanwhile, Tsunade was standing outside the Captain meeting place. She had her hands on the door knobs. She was shaking a little. “Alright. Here I go.”

She opened the door and the Master was sitting in his usual place. No other Captains were there, the red carpet was empty. She walked in and closed the door behind her.

“Ex-Captain Tsunade?” The old man said with a blank face. “What are you doing here?”

“Hello Master.” Tsunade said walking up to him. When she was in front of him she bowed. “I have a favor to ask you. Please, stop the execution of prisoner Clema.”

“Are you joking?” The old man said laughing. “I see what happened. You became friends with this girl in the World of the Living.”

“Sir please…” Tsunade began but was interrupted.

“Do you not remember the reason why you are an Ex-Captian Tsunade?” he asked sternly.

“I remember.” Tsunade said looking away. “But Clema is only a kid, execution is going too far Master.”

“The law is the law.” The old man said. “Now go back to the World of the Living, where you belong.”

Tsunade clutched her fists. “You were always like this, you never listened to me Master!”

The old man looked at her.

“I’m sorry.” Tsunade said unclenching her fist. “Please forgive me for my rudeness.”

Meanwhile, in the Soul Reaper Hospital, Captain Ishimaru opened his eyes. He was in a bed hooked up to a heart monitor. His chest was bandaged up. At the foot of his bed was Captain Karin.

“Captain Karin? Where am I?” Captain Ishimaru said slowly.

“The Hospital.” Captain Karin said. “I used my Medical Jutsu to close most of your wounds.”

“So...you…saved me?” Captain Ishimaru struggled to say. “Thank you.”

Captain Karin looked out the room window. “It’s fine.”

“What of….Soria?” Captain Ishimaru asked.

“We are trying our best.” Captain Karin answered. “She is in critical condition.”

Captain Ishimaru broght his body up.

“Don’t move so much or you will open those wounds.” Captain Karin said.

“Captain Ishimaru looked at Captain Karin. “What of Captain Aaron and Tusado?”

“They got away.” Captain Karin said slowly. “I went to you and Soria’s aid instead of following them.”

“I see.” Captain Ishimaru said lying back down.

Captain Karin walked toward the door. “Get rest.” She walked out.
