"Cenora, looks like I'll be leaving soon," Ichigo explained as Cenora's situation calmed down and they were now at Cenora's house.
"Does it have to be so fast? Can't you wait for me? Didn't I agree to come with you?" Cenora responded sadly.
"This is a precarious situation, dear. My mom and dad need me to deal with Iori's problems and their relationship with the other demon clans," Ichigo began to explain, "I told you, didn't I, about Iori's transformation that would change the leadership of the black tiger demon clan? I hope you'll understand, honey," he continued calmly.
"If it's like this, I'm forced to leave you due to circumstances that don't wait any longer. But I would hope if you came with me, Cenora," Ichigo then said quietly.
