Kojiro's POV

"You mean, I'm really older than I look?" I asked Mayuri with a surprised look on my face.

"Technically, your spirit is the same age as your last body, Kojiro Kurasaki, Isshin's older brother.... and, your uncle."

"What?! You mean... I've been in my uncle's body these 3 years? .... Wait, better yet, why does he look so young?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Your uncle, Kojiro, used to be the executioner, before he was killed.... by Isshin. Your father..."

"You mean, he... I mean, my father... killed me... I mean, Kojiro?"

"Yes. You see, because he was the executioner, he, how can I say this, enjoyed blood?"

"What do you mean by that?"

"Kojiro became obsessed with the sight of blood. He'd rush into battle, and kill as many enemies as possible, and he even started to kill his own men...." I shuddered at the thought. And to think, I was starting to be like him...

"...anyways, we, and by we, I mean Isshin, killed him. They were very young then. 20 years old to be exact. That's when I seized the opportunity to use my Soul Transfer machine on you..."

"And, I started to turn into him.... so that explains why I had TWO inner Hollows in my inner world....." I sighed.

"So, what will you do now... Julian?"

Heh. Julian. I'm not used to being called that.

"Kojiro!" Kita's voice called out. What is she doing here?

"Doctor Mayuri! Where's Kojiro?" She was out of breath when she came into the lab we were in.

"Kojiro is no more. It was Julian's spirit that was inside his body. Take a look."

He pressed a button, and the tube containing my old body.

Kita's POV

No. this can't be. He's..... dead? Tears streamed from my eyes as I put my hand against the cold glass. Wait, what did he mean by 'Julian's' spirit? Did he...

I turned around.

I saw a young man, who looked 17. He had long black hair that reached his hips. He had a pair of glasses and silver eyes. He also had perfect tanned skin, no scars.

"Kita, it's me. Don't you remember?" He opened his arms up for a hug.

I wiped my eyes and walked up to him. "If it really is you, what color are my eyes? Kojiro knew without looking..."

"Hazel." He replied, eyes closed.

"What was Kojiro's favorite color?"

"Silver." He replied again, this time with a smile.

"Well.... what tattoo do I have on my back?" I asked, with both hands on my hips.

He walked up to me, and whispered in my ear "You have none. Perfect, smooth skin." He then took a step back.

"I... I.. I still don't believe you. I don't even now who you really are." I pouted.

"Let me explain then." Doctor Mayuri said.

He explained everything to her, making sure she understood.

"You mean....." I asked, hesitant.

"Yes..." Was Mayuri's answer.

I walked up to Julian, and kissed him. He held me gently, just like how he did with Kojiro's body.

"I'm so sorry I questioned you. I..." He put his mechanical finger to my lips, shushing me.

"Don't worry, I know what you're going to say."

Kojiro's POV

"I forgive you." I said into her ear. We held each other for a moment.

RUMBLE!

"What was that?" I asked, almost falling on Kita.

"I don't know.... earthquake?" Kita said, with a raised eyebrow. After she said, everybody in the room fell down, except me of course.

"An immense spiritual pressure... I recognize it.... Courtney!!
