Toma ran behind Ukitake, looking for Kikyo, who had just ran off.
She heard the news of Emo from Isane.
How could he haved died, Toma thought, he was really strong and everything...
My role model...
Toma stopped in her tracks.
The words circled in her head.
"What's wrong, Toma?" Ukitake asked.
Just like... "...Kiean..." Toma muttered. Then it dawned on her.
"SHIT!!!" Toma said, "Ukitake-tiasho, do you think-"
Ukitake began a huge coughing fit.
"Ukitake-tiasho!" Toma said.
"Just a coughing fit," he croaked, "What were you saying-"
"Ukitake-tiasho, is it just me, or is this dieja-vou?"
Ukitake blinked. "What do you-"
"Remember what happened to Kaien afterhe lost Miyako?" Toma asked.
Ukitake nodded.
"Kikyo had that same look. What if-"
Toma started running.
"Toma!" Ukitake said, "Wait-"
Toma was out of sight.
"-up." he sighed, "I'm getting too old for this."
He shunpoed.
Toma was running.
This is just like Rukia, Toma thought, I can't let it happen.
