[Please do not tease him, Mikazuki! He's suffering enough already from feelings he can't understand and that huge gap in his memories concerning you!
Ichigo understands how hard it is not to worry, being the big brother of twelve (so far), but the thought of Mikazuki worrying about him just... he shakes his head to clear it. Then attempts a smile and a little laugh.]
That is true. Even though I know my brothers are more than capable of handling themselves in battle, I can't help but worry about their safety.
[Then it strikes him! Maybe that's it! Maybe these strange feelings he's having is because Mikazuki is like family! Sort of? Kind of?
He's much relieved by Jiji's reassurance that he'd made the right tactical decision and he smiles brightly at that, feeling much better!]
Yes, we should do that, Mikazuki-dono.
[And he'll do anything to protect you if they should meet that creature again!]
