429. Welcome to our EXECUTION

Ichigo tells the man, Ginjou Kuugo, that he doesn't trust him, who in turn says that was to be expected. Before leaving, he gives Ichigo an item. Upon arriving home, he is greeted cheerfully by his little sister, Yuzu, who shows him the results of her first test, in which she scored highly. Ichigo is happy for her and says that their dad should be too, asking where he is.Yuzu doesn't know and tells him that he's been gone since the morning, which Ichigo brushes off and says that he'll be in his room. Yuzu feels that something is wrong but doesn't say anything.

In his room, Ichigo wonders where his father is, and that if he had his shinigami powers, he could've found him, but reminds himself that he doesn't have them anymore. He hears a voice outside his window and sees Inoue with a box full of bread. He invites her in before saying he can't eat all of this, even with everyone in his family also eating it. He says he'll take a part of it before asking why she's is figeting. Inoue replies that she didn't think that he'd let her in his room. Ichigo says she's been in here before, so she shouldn't be surprised. They bicker slightly about the bread being leftovers or discarded. Inoue then asks if something's been wrong and Ichigo replies no, asking why. She says intuition and says she feels as if he's being followed or something. Ichigo says that it'd be more like picking a fight with him, and she's the type to be followed. Inoue then quickly replies that her intuition was wrong. Ichigo then tries to find the manga that he borrowed, Inoue saying it's ok.

Ishida arrives outside the clinic and notices that Inoue got there before him to ask about the weird sensation they've been feeling around him and wonders if he should check if there are any disturbances around town when he notices a person reading on the roof of the clinic, who then disappears. He begins to chase the mysterious person across town, noting that he wasn't traveling at a human speed, nor was there any disturbances in the spiritual particles around him, implying that he wasn't using shunpo. Ishida gets distracted when he sees a light on the telephone pole that the person stepped on, then being attacked by the person.

Ichigo sits at his desk, thinking about the thing that Ginjou gave him, when he hears a noise closeby. He looks out the window to see an ambulance and Ishida lying on the road, right arm missing and a pool of blood around his shoulder. The item on his bed is a card that says, "welcome to our xcution".
