    Summary

    "You cannot save the world with dignity alone. To defeat evil with evil... I can think of worse things." — Kyōraku Shunsui, Chapter 622, Bleach manga.

    What is worse for Shunsui, is losing the one who is part of his own soul — the gentle, strong-willed, noble, yet sickly Jūshirō, whom Shunsui has stood by, loved, and protected for two millennia through the strife and tempests of their entwined lives. He has lived with a moody mistress of a Zanpakutō and forced order on a chaotic, bloodthirsty Soul Society for over a thousand years. So Mayuri's paranoid hoarding is not going to stop him playing dirty to obtain that cure to save Jūshirō from a doomed fate. Retsu, with her reawakened bloodlust, is already on his side. But as Aizen's treachery is revealed along with Yama-jii's greater plans, Shunsui faces a new enemy he is unlikely to defeat and finds his soul bonded to Jūshirō more deeply than he thought.

    NEXT PART IS UP. Read 'For Life, For Honour' now, as Ukitake continues investigations in the human world, finally allowed back in the field after three centuries.
