398 Bleach: Inoue Orihime The Spoiled Little Sister, Kuchiki Rukia's Love/Hate, Location of Urahara Kisuke and Aizen Sosuke.

Life is simple in this era, so much so that it could even be considered boring. However, that is just an illusion, because if there's one thing that defines this world, it's that enemies are never lacking.

Allen walked home with Orihime and Tatsuki. Both girls were walking ahead, laughing, while Allen followed behind them.

They had met two months ago. Orihime is a very... attractive girl and, equally, very naïve. This makes her an easy target for criminals and old perverts. Of course, she is always accompanied by "Tatsuki-chan," who, as is typical in anime, has nearly superhuman strength, able to send a gorilla flying with a single kick. With such a bodyguard, Orihime has managed to avoid the lustful men who target her "beauty."

Unfortunately, Tatsuki is not a guardian angel; she can't be with Orihime all the time. So, on one of the rare occasions when Orihime went out without Tatsuki, she was approached by a group of thugs who took her to an alley.

Allen appeared, kicking the first thug in the face with such force that it dislocated his jaw. The second one pulled out a knife and stabbed Allen, but the knife broke. Allen grabbed his face and slammed it into the wall, nearly killing him. The third thug fled in fear. Allen pulled out a coin and threw it, propelling it with spiritual energy. It struck the thug in the leg, breaking his knee.

Orihime looked at Allen in fear due to the amount of violence, but upon seeing his eyes, she understood that he had no ill intentions. Orihime is slow, clumsy, and naïve, but she knows right from wrong. When she entered the alley, she realized they had bad intentions, and despite Allen's brutality, he had no malicious intentions.

That day, he wasn't there by chance. He had been searching for Orihime on his own, hoping to help her brother who had died in the original story. It wasn't out of a sense of debt to Ichigo; Allen didn't think too much about it and didn't feel that responsible. At most, he would try to make sure Ichigo's friends didn't get killed, and beyond that, he'd do as he pleased. The reason he wanted to try to help Orihime is because he liked her, how could you not like such a lovable character?

Orihime later found out that Allen would be transferred to her school from abroad, and she was very happy. Of course, before she could consider him trustworthy, she had to pass the "Tatsuki-chan test." Allen had no problem with that, as it seemed Tatsuki took a liking to him.

So, two months passed, and they got along well. Orihime began to treat him like an older brother, while Tatsuki seemed to feel something more than friendship, but she was too clumsy to make any moves. For his part, Allen began to grow fond of both girls, but his more mature mindset placed them in the "little sister" category for now. With Karin and Yuzu added to the mix, the system often joked that this world was the world of little sisters. Allen refuted this, saying that there were women hundreds of years old everywhere, so it was more of a world of MILFs.

...

"Allen-kun, look~" Orihime pointed to a café. "The donuts here are really good!~"

Allen smiled. "That sounds good, I'll treat you."

Orihine's eyes lit up but Tatsuki interrupted somewhat nervously, "Huh? But Allen, this place is expensive... and Butahime eats a lot..."

(A/N: This is a wordplay, Buta = Pig, Hime = Princess)

"How cruel~"

Orihime ran to Allen and grabbed his arm, not caring that her chest pressed against him. Allen remained stoic because he knew that Fury had the FBI watching him. He had many suspicions about Cate and Alice.

"Allen-kun, help me~" Orihime laughed while playing around.

Allen understood why some of his girlfriends were jealous; how could Orihime have such a plot?

"Orihime, how many times have I told you to be careful? Or did those fat balloons steal your brain?!"

Tatsuki couldn't take it anymore; it was hard to take care of Orihime, and adding that she wasn't aware of her huge boobs made it harder.

Allen doesn't remember if Orihime was like that or if he had to do with her change.

"Ah! Sorry!"

Orihime wasn't completely naïve, so she realized her embarrassing situation clinging to Allen's arm and immediately let go, stepping back in embarrassment.

"Fool!"

"Hehehe~"

"No more 'hehe,' this is why all the perverted guys try to harass you."

"Well, at least it was with Allen-kun, so it's okay~~"

"There's no way it's okay!"

"Ah! sorry!"

Tatsuki may seem very strict, but she's right in what she says. There are many guys out there who wouldn't hesitate to take advantage of Orihime. Thanks to Tatsuki and recently Allen she has been saved from harassers and abusers.

That being said, Tatsuki is also a pretty girl. The fault that she is not popular is because of her explosive moods, not her personality. Tatsuki is kind at heart, which is why she can't stand seeing a girl like Orihime suffer, leading her to fight with other girls and push away any potential suitors.

"I'm sorry, Allen-kun..." Orihime smiled awkwardly. "I hope it didn't bother you."

"Don't worry, it doesn't bother me," Allen smiled and fixed Orihime's hair, which had gotten messy. "But Tatsuki is right; I am a man, too."

Orihime smiled awkwardly. "Sorry."

She has no parents, and her brother died three years before the story began. So, Allen couldn't try to save him.

Allen stroked her head and she felt happy. Tatsuki watched their interaction and sighed in relief; she could see that Orihime saw Allen as a big brother, and Allen saw her as a little sister.

Allen spent some time with Orihime and Tatsuki until they said goodbye, and the girls went on their way.

...

...

...

Allen was alone when he noticed a presence approaching but staying in the distance, perched on a light pole. These last few days she was secretly following Allen, or so she thought.

"Again..." She said as she felt the Reiatsu of many Hollows coming from all directions towards Allen.

The girl was short, barely 4'8" (1.44m). She's one of the shortest shinigami.

Her name is Kuchiki Rukia, and she's the shinigami in charge of Karakura Town. She's a cute girl with pale skin and black, soft hair cut above her shoulders, always leaving a strand of hair falling between her forehead. Her eyes are a deep blue, almost violet.

The wind moved her shinigami robes as she watched Allen.

She squinted her eyes and used Shunpo to move to a building where she cut down a hollow that resembled a lion. The hollow was slain, but she didn't stop there; she disappeared again and cut down a hollow resembling a centipede, the size of an ambulance.

"These guys never stop coming..."

*Rukia's POV*

I cut down the tenth hollow and collapsed exhausted on a building. The last one was very strong; it must have consumed hundreds of souls to reach that level of Reiatsu. If I were a regular shinigami...

Karakura Town is special because it's closer to the Soul Society, making travel easier. This also causes a greater number of hollows to be drawn here.

Originally the shinigami assigned to this city would be someone else after the previous shinigami died a couple of weeks ago, but I had to come due to special circumstances. Who would have thought I would find such a peculiar human?

I spoke with Captain Ukitake so he would allow me to stay in this town while I investigated further.

He's a young man with an unusual hair color; if I'm not mistaken, I've only seen a couple of others with hair so particular, and they're both captains. But that doesn't matter, the important thing is that this human has a unique constitution that attracts hollows.

I got up from the ground and followed him. The guy was quite peculiar, with a slight amount of Reiryoku. However, it shouldn't be enough to attract hollows.

This is very strange...

It's not the first time a human has had special abilities... but it is too dangerous to let a Hollows magnet roam around.

We are shinigami; we can't interfere too much with the human world. So, I just have to watch him.

Wait, where is he?!

I jumped across two buildings, and when I reached the corner where he turned, he was gone... This is another reason I can't explain.

He has an incredible talent for disappearing from my sight. If I had Reiatsu strong enough, I could track him, but I usually lose him and only find him when I sense a buildup of hollows.

I jumped across the buildings, looking for him, but I couldn't find him.

Damn...

I have a feeling of both like and dislike towards this guy. I like him because thanks to him, I have an enormous ease in dealing with Hollows, as they all gather in one place. I just need to keep an eye on him and take care of them. But that's the problem; it can't be this hard to watch over a human boy!

On the other hand, fighting swarms of Hollows increases both the danger and the difficulty.

There he is!

I landed on top of a tree, and the guy was petting a black cat in his lap while sitting on a bench in a park.

This is troublesome... if I don't get there in time, this guy, his friends, and his family...

I shook my head. It's my job to prevent that! Although, I would wish there were a better way... maybe I should consult with an expert from the human world?

I prepared to leave. Once there's a swarm attack, the Hollows won't return for a couple of days.

Still, it's pretty strange. Up to this point, I haven't seen the Hollows attack this guy when he's with anyone else, almost as if they wait for him to be alone, which makes no sense.

*End of POV*

Allen smiled as Rukia disappeared. He had already noticed her presence for a week, but due to his precautions against Aizen, he avoided showing too much of his powers. He only realized the mysterious Shinigami was Rukia when she started killing the Hollows he had attracted, specifically for that reason.

Allen decided not to raise any suspicions and wait for Rukia to take him to Urahara. Of course, there's a chance that Urahara Kisuke doesn't work for the Shinigami like in the original world. In any case, it would be a way to find that elusive man.

"Let's go home, Kuro…"

Yoruichi, who had been pretending to sleep on Allen's lap, had grown accustomed to being petted by him, though she still felt uncomfortable with some other things.

"Meow."

Allen picked up Yoruichi and carried her in his arms. This would have been impossible three months ago. It was all thanks to the care and many humiliations Yoruichi went through. Her mind became stronger and she no longer suffers so much from being treated like a cat... most of the time.

'It's going to be so awkward when I have to reveal the truth,' thought Allen.

Three months is a long time, and Allen realized a month ago that his cat wasn't a real cat, but Yoruichi. It was very awkward because they usually bathed together, slept together, and he even brushed her fur. Allen felt a wave of regret when he almost took her to the vet to get vaccinated, but she escaped.

This is so absurd. Allen treated Yoruichi Shihoin, a woman over seven hundred years old, like a pet without even knowing.

'She must hate me...' Allen slowly reduced the frequency of their baths and bought her a bed so she could sleep separately.

Allen may be a womanizer, but he respects women who aren't in a relationship with him. Yoruichi is a mentally strong woman, but it must have been hard for her to endure these months.

Now, Allen doesn't know how to have a good relationship with her. Maybe when the moment comes to reveal the truth, she'll use her Bankai on him instantly.

"Prrrr."

'Sh*t!' Allen instinctively scratched Yoruichi's chin, and she started purring. 'This is all an act... it has to be or don't tell me I've already damaged Yoruichi's mind?'

However, Yoruichi's thoughts were a bit different.

Lately, Yoruichi has been losing herself in the role and ends up acting like a real cat, leading to more than one embarrassing situation.

'Ah! Damn, I purred again... I'm not a damn cat! All this time acting like one makes me reconsider whether I should continue with this farce or reveal myself and kick this brat's butt!' Yoruichi gritted her teeth. 'I know! I know Allen truly thinks I'm his cat, which is why he treats me like one, but what am I supposed to do with all this frustration?!'.

Yoruichi always considered herself a decent lady, no matter what others said... but the litter box was too much...

'Seriously, wait, Allen Boy, I'm going to make you pay for all the humiliations you've put me through!'

Yoruichi was really upset.

...

Rukia was jumping through the sky at high speed. For the first time since being temporarily assigned to Karakura, she went to visit the Shinigami product warehouse.

However, she couldn't imagine that secretly, 2B and Rebecca were following her. As both girls were technological dolls, they were practically invisible to Rukia and would be to Urahara Kisuke as well.

Rebecca – 2B, what do you think of that girl?

2B – A spiritual entity with greater power than the Shinigami assigned to this city, but weaker compared to the so-called Captains and Lieutenants.

Rebecca – I see, we can capture her if necessary.

2B – Affirmative.

With 2B's help, they had been working to adapt their weapons to fight spiritual entities called Shinigami, and now they could face them.

...

The journey was unexpectedly short, which made both 2B and Rebecca frown.

Rukia arrived at an empty lot and took out a paper seal. She channeled her Reiryoku into the piece of paper, which began to burn. Soon, the space in front of her moved independently, like a curtain, revealing a one-story, traditional Japanese-style building.

It was Urahara Kisuke's shop.

Rebecca was speechless. All this time, this guy had been so close to Allen, yet managed to hide himself to this extent.

The front door opened, and a man appeared.

2B – "No wonder we couldn't find him; if he's buried under a dozen spatial barriers, Rebecca, should we report to the master?"

Rebecca – "..."

2B – "Rebecca?"

2B's words didn't reach Rebecca. She had spent much more time with Allen, so she knew a lot more about him, including knowledge of his hobbies. She never mocked Allen for reading comics and manga, as in the end, it was just a hobby, and no one had the right to mock or be bothered by it as long as it didn't harm anyone.

Among these memories, something came back to Rebecca's mind.

One day she grabbed some manga at random with no interest in reading them in their entirety but with curiosity, among them Bleach.

– "Honey, what are the war potentials?" –

– "Hm? Well... Yhwach gave that title to certain individuals capable of becoming a problem for him..." –

Zaraki Kenpachi: The strongest Kenpachi in history, a monster with unknown limits.

Hyosube Ichibe: The leader of the Royal Guard of the Spirit King, a monster even stronger than Yamamoto Genryusai.

Kurosaki Ichigo: The protagonist, of course.

Urahara Kisuke: The smartest man in Bleach, a genius capable of creating his own Dragon Balls that grant wishes... known as Hogyoku.

Finally... before she could finish recalling, Rebecca's thoughts were interrupted when the man smiled and raised his hand.

He was a man with soft features and brown hair, scholarly in appearance, accentuated by square glasses, and soft brown eyes.

He smiled at Rukia and raised his hand, from which dark energy emerged, breaking the space in front of him like glass.

Rebecca took a step back, preparing to fight for her life. 2B didn't understand Rebecca's reaction but did the same.

Allen stopped midway, looking amazed at nothing, or that's what it seemed to Yoruichi. The chat fell silent, Allen as well. They all stared at the man who shouldn't be there.

...

"I apologize for scaring you, Kuchiki Rukia-san. This barrier is permanent, so I had to be a little... aggressive to open it." His deep, uniquely smooth voice entered everyone's ears like an enchanting melody.

"..." Allen narrowed his eyes and furrowed his brow. As if sensing his reaction, Aizen smiled at the same time.

"Welcome to my shop... this is my shop... I'm the owner, Aizen Sosuke... I hope you can find what you need..."

The man smiled gently as he walked through the broken space.
