Chapter 121 Situation with hollows

"The situation is much more severe than I had thought."

Kisuke looked at his big computer screen. He found that the situation in the human world was much more dangerous than he had anticipated.

Many Gargantar appeared, and many hollows came out to hunt human souls. Or even the living human. He really wanted to know what happened in the hollow world. 

Yoruichi was very busy keeping all the gargantar sealed. Her kido might not be very strong, but it was enough to seal them. 

Her advantage was how fast she was able to move, allowing her to swiftly evade attacks and keep sealing all the gargantar.

However, the increasing number of hollows made it challenging for her to protect all the humans in danger.

Fortunately, the army of Ichigo kido clones came to rescue. Ichigo finds a new way to create a clone other than using his artifact called Hanakami. He is such a genius when it comes to adapting and innovating in battle.

His kido clone didn't last long or be strong enough to directly fight. It was destroyed just by a simple punch, but it could use practitioner kido to mess with the enemy. Just thinking about how a hundred of them keep spamming Byakurai was so terrifying.

'He might even be able to rival us. Come to think of it, he will join Aizen in Hueco Mundo soon.'

Kisuke was sure that if Aizen knew the full potential of Kurosaki Ichigo, he would never allow him to go without getting something from him. 

Kisuke knew that Aizen would see the value in utilizing Kurosaki Ichigo's power and would try to influence or manipulate him in some way. 

If Aizen discovered the true extent of Ichigo's abilities, Kisuke feared that he would stop at nothing to ensure Ichigo's loyalty and cooperation. 

"It could be dangerous. That man was even scarier than me. I hope he won't do anything more than necessary. Otherwise, he would have to deal with the cat and the bee."

Kisuke shook his head. They were both into the younger man. And to think they wanted to have a dip with the same person. 

Kisuke couldn't help but chuckle at the thought of the cat and the bee fighting over Kurosaki Ichigo's attention.

"What a peculiar taste in men, but I can't say anything because I am more in love with knowledge than women." 

Kisuke chuckled to himself, aware that his own preferences were quite unconventional. He had always been more attracted to intellectual pursuits and the pursuit of knowledge than romantic relationships.

Kisuke then worked again and deleted all of the dangerous thoughts. Whenever he did something related to Ichigo, He had to delete many of his memories. Hopefully, his brain wasn't going to crash from the constant erasure.

...

Yoruichi sighed a million times today.

She felt so tired. She looked at Ichigo, who was now massaging her shoulder to relieve some of the tension. He was the real one, so she let him massage her. She would never allow his clone to touch her.

They might have come from him, but they weren't him. Yoruichi could tell just by snifting at them. They weren't her, Ichigo.

"That's good, Mmm~"

Ichigo was so good at massaging. She felt like she was going to heaven. The tension in her shoulders slowly dissipated as Ichigo's skilled hands worked their magic. 

Yoruichi closed her eyes, allowing herself to fully relax with his touch. It was moments like these that reminded her of the deep connection they shared.

"How many Gargantars have you sealed?"

Yoruichi asked. With his clone, the rate of sealing was much higher than her doing it by herself. She could leave everything to him, but her pride as his master could not allow her to rely solely on his abilities.

"13, It's still increasing, though. But with my Kido clone around the towns near Karakura and Kuoh, It shouldn't be a problem."

Ichigo was confident that his clone would continue to seal gargantars efficiently. He didn't even have to do anything, as his wood clones would be the ones who worked tirelessly to protect the towns.

Ichigo had already established the working system with his clones. They had a clear understanding of their roles and responsibilities, ensuring that the towns near Karakura and Kuoh would be well-protected. 

This allowed Ichigo to focus on other important tasks, knowing that his clones were capable of handling any threats that might arise.

"I really want to create clones too, but it took too much spiritual power and training to be able to control them effectively."

Yoruichi said this while relaxing. She or anyone who didn't have the same level of spiritual power as Ichigo couldn't use clones as effectively as him.

"Aneki, I think I have to go now. Rias and Sona wanted to say something really important to me."

Yoruichi nodded and sighed. It wasn't good to keep him to herself. There was Soifon too, who waited for him to have a good, oily massage. He really knew how to treat women even when he couldn't express his emotions well.

Yoruichi then felt her cheek being kissed. She couldn't help but chuckle a little. Whenever he saw her or Soifon becoming depressed, he would always kiss them like that. 

He told them that he was taught by his mother. And it would make his female friends, with whom he had a deep connection, feel better.

Such a good mama he had there.

"See you later, Aneki."

Then Ichigo switched places with his clone in Kuoh town. Yoruichi shook her head. Ichigo's clone knew what to do and went to do his own things.

...

Rias and Sona were now waiting for Ichigo in the Occult Club Room. They had very important things to say to him. They informed Venelana about the church. She accepted her report, but then suddenly their fathers contacted them.

They were called back to their family.

"What should we do, Rias? I don't think we would be able to come back if we went back like this. But we couldn't refuse them either." 

Sona sighed, her expression filled with worry. She knew that their fathers must have planned something. She met her sister earlier, and she told her that she must be wary because Rias's brother was plotting something. 

She then went back to work. She didn't if she knew that their fathers called them back home. 

Sona couldn't help but wonder if this sudden summoning was part of her brother's scheme. She looked at Rias, hoping to find a solution.

"I don't know what to do. They never cared about me but they shouldn't do something like this to me. Am I really his sister and daughter? Why did they just see me as a tool?"

Rias gritted her teeth, her frustration apparent. Then Ichigo's face came to her mind. With him by her side, she felt a sense of security and strength. She knew that he wouldn't let anything harm her. Even her family.

"I think Ichigo might know what to do. He always has a solution to any problem."

Rias thought about Ichigo, then about her mother. She had been quite recently. She couldn't make her move without considering the consequences.

Knowing her mother, She must have done something but couldn't show it on the surface.

A knock on the door pulled them from their thoughts. Rias quickly composed herself, then went to open the door. She found Ichigo standing there.

"Ichigo!"

Rias, when she saw him, couldn't hold it in anymore. She hugged him to find comfort and solace in his presence.

She then pulled him inside and kissed him on the lips like a desperate woman who thought of giving up anything to be with him.

He knew Rias the best, so he could not reject her advance because it might harm her emotionally. So he returned it before he gently pushed her to make eye contact. 

"Ichigo." 

Rias whispered, her voice filled with vulnerability. 

"I need you. They called me back home. They must have thought of giving me to that bastard. Please take me."

Ichigo could tell already just by listening to her. They were called back after Serafall told them about Sirzechs's might scheme something.

Ichigo comforted Rias and told her everything would be okay. So no need to force herself.

He looked at Sona. She looked at them with envy. Ichigo thought about it a little bit, then he called her to join them, to which she nodded and joined their hug, feeling a sense of relief and belonging.

"You can't reject them, right?" 

Ichigo asked, and both Rias and Sona nodded their heads. If they rejected them, it would escalate things.

"But that didn't mean we couldn't do anything about it. We are going to war with fallen angels soon. Use that as an excuse. You two are the governors. You can reject them if your reason is strong enough. And if they won't listen, just tell them that I am the protector of this town. Use my position to threaten them. They wouldn't want to mess with Shinigami, believe me."

Ichigo proposed a strategic plan to Rias and Sona, emphasizing that they could utilize the upcoming war with fallen angels as a valid reason to reject the unwanted individuals.

As governors, they held the power to make decisions based on their own judgment. Furthermore, Ichigo suggested leveraging his position as the protector of the town to intimidate those who refused to comply, knowing that nobody would dare challenge the Shinigami.
