Goodbye

Standing in front of the Kurosaki household, me, Daruku (in a skirt), Kariya and Sergei were bidding our farewells to the Kurosaki family. On the opposite side we had Ichigo crying his eyes out, Masaki holding the twins while somehow managing to hug Daruku, Isshin saying his goodbyes to Kariya and for some reason Tatsuki was also here.

"I *Sniff* don't want you to *Sniff* go." Ichigo cried hearing that I was leaving.

'As bad as this may sound, I can't wait for his mom to die so he toughens up.' I thought before patting him on the head.

"C'mon man, don't cry. Its not like I'll be gone forever." I try to comfort him.

"I *Sniff* know, but I'm going to miss you." He said wiping away his tears.

"*Sigh* I'll miss you to Ichigo." I reluctantly say.

"Really!?"

"....Yeah."

'Urgh, I can't wait until he grows up.'

"Jun san." Tatsuki called out to me.

'Oh yeah, she's here for some reason. Hopefully not for revenge cause I don't feel like playing around with her now that I've grasped Shundō?'

Ridding myself of such thoughts I just decided to go along with it since I wouldn't be seeing her for a while.

"What?" I asked lazily.

"I-I WILL DEFEAT YOU!!" She proclaimed.

"Eh?"

'What?'

Somewhat dumbfounded by her random proclamation, I was momentarily unable to say anything and could only listen to her prattle on.

"After you beat me and my comrade the other day, a lot of our members decided to quit saying things like our dojo was too weak!"

'Did I just ruin a business?'

"So I will train until I'm strong enough to beat you! So promise me that until then you won't lose!" She said looking at me with serious eyes that did not befit a child.

'How the hell do I respond to that!'

"Erm, sure?"

"S-So until then…" She put her hand into her pocket and pulled out a slip of paper and handed it to me. "Text me." She said with a slightly red face.

…

Walking away with the rest of my group I was still unable to fully accept what had just transpired moments ago. Apparently showing off my martial prowess inspired Tatsuki to get much stronger and also made her consider me as her end goal.

And just like that, I became Arisawa Tatsuki's first crush. Hopefully she'll forget about it before I return in 10 years… Hopefully.

...

Walking with the others towards the train station, I felt a certain spiritual pressure scan me from the distance.

"Uh guys, I'm going to use the bathroom before we leave so I'll be back in a minute." I say hurrying towards the disable bathroom with Sergei following closely behind.

"Sergei do me a favour, if anyone asks, just tell them that I have some foreign disease and I can't be around healthy people when I'm relieving myself."

"As you wish young master." He bowed slightly.

Nodding my head I just entered the bathroom without thinking much about it.

Summoning out the Yamato, I sliced open a portal and walked through it and appeared on a building not to far away from the train station.

"You could have at least say goodbye to Daruku."

"The time I spent with her was enough for her to understand that I'll miss her when she's gone." The dark skinned beauty said turning to face me.

"I see, so why call me out? If I remember correctly, our last conversation didn't end so well." I say reminding her of yesterday's events.

"...…Yeah, my bad. I shouldn't have lost my temper like that, it's just that soul society is a bit of a touchy subject for me." She apologized.

"Well whatever, it's not like I was gonna hold a grudge against you or anything." I say nonchalantly.

"Thanks… So you're really going?" She asked letting go of her tension.

"Seems like it, but I'll be back in 10 years, so I'll be seeing you again."

"Is that so." She smiled.

"Yep, then I'm going to prove that I'm faster than you."

"Oh." She raised an eyebrow in slight interest. "Someone's confident."

"Yep, so don't stop improving, because I'm coming for your crown."

Using Yamato to cut open the air I create a portal back to the disable bathroom.

"See ya around Yoruichi." I wave and walk through the portal.

Seeing me leave, a faint smile emerged on her face before she Shunpo'd away.

"See you around Jun."

…

*Click*

Unlocking the door, I walked out of the bathroom and regrouped with the rest of my companions as we wait for the train to arrive.

"Where are we going Jun-san?" Daruku asked standing beside me.

I shrug in response. "You'll have to ask master that question."

"Oh." She muttered looking somewhat down.

'Weird.'

I thought before ignoring her and paying attention to the train tracks. Master Kariya had already brought the tickets the previous day and was currently holding onto them so I couldn't see what our destination was. And for some reason the monitors malfunctioned so they weren't displaying the current stops.

'I swear its like someone is playing a prank on me.'

After a waiting for a few minutes the train finally arrived.

'Time to go.'

Removing myself from the seat I grabbed Daruku's suitcase (filled with girly clothes/products.) and boarded the train with the others behind me. Since Kariya brought the tickets instead of me or Sergei we didn't book any first class seats.

'Oh great.'

Taking a seat next to a window I pulled out my phone and put my earphones in blocking out any sound from the outside world.

Closing my eyes, I let the music caress me as I thought back on the previous 2 days I spent in Karakura town.

Meeting Yoruichi was a nice surprise, thanks to her and her flash step technique, I managed to gain a better understanding of the speed of top tier fighters and learnt the Instant movement technique.

Now that I think about it, since I have a Sparda bloodline and I'm following Vergil's sword style (Iai), I wonder if I could use my demonic energy the same way he does and re-create the summoned swords ability. Then there's also Vergil's advanced teleportation ability. If I can master it, it could be just as effective as my Instant movement technique.

And in all honesty, meeting Ichigo and Isshin is actually quite beneficial for me. Not only did I manage to create a friendship between me and Ichigo, I also instilled the idea that if he did kendo he could become just as strong as me. Hopefully that will actually help in the future instead of relying on pure speed and power to beat his opponent.

The only thing that I'd say were unnecessary in this trip was meeting Masaki and Tatsuki, but then again its not like meeting them wasn't enjoyable in its own way, even if one of them is going to die and the other has a childish crush on me.

Then there's the fact that I got to meet my Trap maid Daruku. Probably the best thing to come out of this whole trip…
