"She's a child, she's a child, she's a child" One would wonder as to why he was currently chanting like a lunatic well…even he thinks he's a complete fool for having the reasons, he had walked in on the girl in the middle of a bath. A 14 year old girl, he scolded himself feeling more than just ashamed but his Shunpo had saved him from being discovered and being thought as some pervert which at this point he was believing he was himself. Yet his swift actions also had consequences, he reopened his wound and that would mean he would have to remove his shirt and she would have to touch him…err, heal him.
This was becoming really, really bad.
He had been in the Kurosaki home for a month and a half when he suddenly became attracted to a human child, well that human child had a growing sprout in those 7 weeks and had developed some hips and an above average bust as she had grown 3 inches in height which was the reason he was having a difficult time remembering she was only 14 year old girl. A child. It was summer and came the short skirts, dresses and shorts that she was completely oblivious to the fact that she was sharing a roof with a grown man. Or it was just unnatural for him to be attracted to a young girl.
Whatever the point it was, she was on vacation which she cheerfully announced that she would have the whole day to keep track of his condition which was plain torture. There were times that she fell asleep on the couch beside him and curl up further while he bared with the cruel inability of being restricted to lay his hands on her. He had forbidden himself to even have that honors as the girl would grow up as human, fall in love with a human, marry a human, have a few human children and die of a very, very old age even if it left a bad aftertaste in his mouth at the thought.
Her innocence came as a double edge sword, while she respected his privacy he didn't have the heart to look at her when he took too long having cold showers or when he refused to look her way when she wore very short articles of clothing. But that innocence came with obliviousness as she had no clue as to the perverse thoughts flowing in his mind, Kami help him… and he was very weak to her pout, it was just too adorable to resist which to she wickedly used to her advantaged to guilt-trip him into getting out of the house and so something even if no one else could see him and it was simply walking around Town.
"Hm?" the girl yet again was curled up at his side, he had fallen asleep before her it seemed as his arm was around her petite figure unconsciously of course he took the time to glanced at her. The moment was far too peaceful to ruin it with anything so he allowed himself to relax, smile and cave into much needed sleep. A brown eye creaked open before a pleased smile tugged at her lips as she closed her eyes and his smile grew…did she really think he didn't notice? How cute.
"Kyoraku-san, it looks like Hueco Mundo isn't in Quarantine anymore!" the girl burst into the Clinic looking like she had ran from Hell itself when a loud roar caught his attention "…erm, I tried activating my Soul Ticket but it didn't work it looks like it was just Hueco Mundo" she said shifting away from the hallway so he picked up his Zanpakuto "please be careful!" the girl couldn't sit still so she followed him outside and watched as he did short work of them and she was impressed.
"This just means that they're repairing the balance, my wounds are fine to deal with normal Hollows like those" he said as he felt the slight sting from his old wounds. "I think it would be better if you wash up" he suggested and the girl didn't protest despite his more perverse reason of sending her off to shower so he just realized that she didn't have a clue as to what he had been thinking making him rub his temple, "Ukitake please hurry" because he didn't trust his control enough to not lay his hands on that girl for much longer as repulsive as many would find it.
"The 24 Hollows that appeared in the World of the Living were purified, the Souls appeared in Rukongai yesterday at 1200 hours. It looks like a Shinigami was behind it" Akon informed,
"Yuzu said that she found a wounded Shinigami, he looked like a man between his mid to late 30's" Rukia stated.
"Yuzu?" Akon frowned
"Kurosaki Yuzu, she's Ichigo's sister" the Lieutenant informed "it may be Kyoraku-Soutaichou"
"Kuchiki…" Ukitake whispered, they had left his old friend for dead which was why he was the Soutaichou at the moment.
"The description matches, Taichou! You said that Yhwach used his own Zanpakuto to try and kill you, but he took the wound for you and Yuzu said that the Shinigami had a Zanpakuto through his heart!" he shut his eyes pained.
"That's enough"
"But Taichou…!"
"Enough is enough, Kuchiki-Fuktaichou!"
"…I understand, Ukitake-Taichou"
"If that's the case I will have the equipment in the World of the Living scan the Reiatsu in the area to identify the Shinigami" Akon said as he scanned over the contents of his Information. "I'll be leaving now" the Captain meeting room remained eerie silent. No one said a word, Nanao clenched her hand over her sleeve as she trembled 'please be alive, Kyoraku-Taichou' she thought when a hand was set on her shoulder and she glanced at the source.
"Lisa…"
"That idiot is more durable than he looks" the Vizard stated.
