Long Journey

After that day, Kurenai disappeared. I don't know why, maybe he got sick of my whining so he left me behind. I wouldn't blame him.

I went to go say goodbye to Yukiko once it was time for her to go back home, but she could immediately tell something was wrong. I told her I was fine, but she could tell I was lying again.

Once I found Ito, he had... changed. He was no longer the jokester pervert that he used to be and instead become stone cold and serious. But I guess the same could be said for me.

Yuki hadn't changed much, but she has been looking a little more dull recently. I thought it was because of Shido, but it's been looking like something else.

As for the Tekken tournament, it would continue to be held 6 months after that incident. Since I disobeyed the orders of a Soul Reaper, my punishment was to have my right to participate revoked, and so Yuki won the tournament by default. She got to become a Soul Reaper early.

Chikako, the grandmasters assistant, ended up becoming the next grandmaster of the Academy. Most of the teachers disagreed at first, but after reading Yamada's recommendation letter, they quickly changed their minds.

In a flash, the last 2 years of school had ended.

And finally the day arrived when I became a Shinigami.
