Rukia suddenly felt embarrassed to admit that she had nowhere to live. The Soul Society's money didn't work in this world. Besides, it didn't matter much—being a Shinigami, the only real danger came from the Hollows, which she could easily sense, so she often stayed wherever she could as a spirit. As for her Gigai, she simply kept it with her. Aizen's Gigai were easier to store and transport as they were compact and portable.
"Understood," Allen said.
Rukia was surprised to hear Allen's words and smiled faintly.
Allen wasn't sure whether it would be better to take her to his house or the Kurosaki household. The problem with his own house was that there was a risk of Rukia seeing something that would be hard to explain. On the other hand, the Kurosaki house wasn't his place, and bringing a girl there seemed inappropriate.
Allen took out his phone:
"Aunt Masaki, are you available?"
"What's up, Allen? Did you miss your lovely aunt?❤️~"
"Yeah… of course…"
Allen was experienced with girls who were a bit playful or teasing or high blood pressure, and if this were a normal situation, he wouldn't have paid much attention. However, he couldn't forget that she was the Quincy King, and Masaki should know that. It made it strange that she seemed to have forgotten it and adopted him as her real nephew.
Allen shook those thoughts and focused.
"Aunt Masaki, I have a situation I'd like to consult you about. I have a friend who's going through a personal issue, and I was wondering if she could stay with us for a while."
Allen could have taken Rukia in secret, but that would have been very rude. Even though Masaki was also a Quincy and should be willing to do anything for her King, that didn't change the fact that it wouldn't be polite to abuse her hospitality.
"Oh, ho~ so you have a girl–friend, huh? I see, you're at that age~"
"Aunt Masaki... it's not what you're probably thinking,"
"I know, I know, don't worry~ Let me know if you need anything~ Anyway, I'll be there... Mmm, around midnight~"
"Aunt Masaki, trust me, if she were my girlfriend, I'd say it directly without hiding it."
"Kyaahh!~ Allen brought a girl!!!"
"..."
Allen hung up the call, wondering why this happened. 'Masaki-kun, I'm the King. Don't you remember?'
[Haha, well, it looks like she's very special in many ways (≧▽≦)]
...
Gwen – This brought back a lot of embarrassing memories. My mom did the same thing. Oh no, the album! Please, don't let her get the album!
Annie – Calm down. Remember, Allen doesn't have much to hide, so there aren't any embarrassing photos to show, haha.
Natasha – I guess some things don't change no matter the world, hehe~
Felicia – I feel sorry for Allen. he've gone through the same thing several times and might again in the future hehe~
...
Allen felt when Rukia's small, soft hands shakily squeezed his shoulders. When he turned around, the girl had her head down, not daring to look at him. He realized Rukia had overheard the whole conversation since she was so close to his ear.
"Rukia, I..."
Allen wasn't sure how to explain that his aunt, who wasn't really his aunt, was a bit unique in several ways.
"Don't worry. She's a very kind woman. I'm sorry, I keep causing you trouble..."
Allen sighed. "Seriously, stop apologizing. Honestly, it would have been better if you had stayed a high-class lady."
Rukia lifted her head with an inflated cheek and headbutted Allen.
"Ouch!" Rukia exclaimed, holding her forehead. "How is it possible that your head is so hard?!"
"You reap what you sow..." Allen said indifferently, adjusting Rukia's position by holding her smooth thighs.
"You!..." Rukia was surprised and then blushed, but she also noticed that Allen didn't seem to care and got even more irritated.
...
Esdeath – This brat reminds me of Rebecca with all her mood swings...
Rebecca – What did you say, B***?... hmph!
Harley – I think she's cute, and I'm jealous. I also want Daddy to take me~
2B – Brat? According to my data, she's over 150 years old...
Nokotan – Oh!~ But she's even shorter than me, huh?
...
Rukia frowned, "Now that I think about it, you headbutted me earlier..."
"We're even now..." Allen replied without much care, which irritated her even more.
"You also hit me on the head twice with your finger."
"That was because you was feeling down..."
"Tsk!" Rukia couldn't take it any longer and applied a key with her arm to Allen's neck, though of course, it had no effect.
"Not only that, but you now carry me on your back feeling my whole body and holding my immaculate thighs with no reaction. What's wrong with you?!"
In this comical situation, Allen should have gotten angry and started a fight, but Rukia picked the wrong opponent.
Allen stopped in his tracks and turned his head to look at her. She was so close that he almost buried his head in her breasts. His eyes were lazy, and his gaze deep, while his pupils were filled with a soft glow.
"Do you want me to react?"
Rukia turned as red as a boiled shrimp at being looked at like that. You should know that Bleach, being a world focused on conflict, a "Shonen," expecting any form of romance was almost a miracle. In this type of world, it seems the story ends, and then the authors show the characters ten years later with their default partners, without any hint of romance.
This is the case in Bleach... A woman like her, despite being over a hundred years old, had no chance against Allen.
"I... I..."
While Rukia stammered, Allen adjusted his grip on her hands, this time making it slower and gentler.
Rukia's eyes widened as they teared up, unable to stand the tickling sensation, which made her want to escape.
Allen smiled slightly. "Just because I respect you doesn't mean I can't see that you're a charming woman... if you wish, I can prove it to you right now."
[Rukia.exe has stopped working...]
Rukia fainted, with steam coming out of her head.
Allen laughed, knowing that would happen, so he simply did it to tease her.
"Womanizer-kun, don't bother innocent girls..." Makima sat on his head now that Rukia had fainted and mocked him.
Allen shrugged. "She asked for it, and I'm being very kind..."
Makima narrowed her eyes but didn't say anything more. The first time Allen appeared after absorbing Void, he acted similarly, less inhibited, almost like a predator. Perhaps the only reason he didn't act like that anymore was that he already had many women or simply because he didn't want to.
What a selfish young master... thought Makima with disdain.
Artoria also appeared. "What will be the next move?"
Allen looked at Artoria and thought, "There's one person we can't ignore in this situation..."
...
Allen returned to the Kurosaki clinic. When he opened the door, Karin froze when she saw that Allen had a girl on his back.
She immediately pulled out her phone.
"Good afternoon, officer..."
Allen blinked. "That doesn't work with me Karin..."
Karin closed her phone in frustration and pointed at Allen. "Did you kidnap her?!"
"That's impossible," Allen ignored Karin and entered anyway. "I already informed Aunt Masaki. She's Kuchiki Rukia, and she'll be staying with us for a while... she's dealing with a complicated situation."
Karin crossed her arms and listened carefully, then looked at Rukia, whom Allen had placed on the sofa.
Karin sighed. "Tsk. If Mom allowed it, then I have no choice."
"Ara, onii-chan, who is she?~" Yuzu's sweet but dark voice came from behind Karin.
"Uwa! Yuzu?!" Karin jumped in surprise and looked at her older sister. "What are you doing with that knife?!"
"Ara Ara~, I forgot~" Yuzu laughed but didn't put down the knife while smiling "sweetly." Karin stepped back.
Allen observed Yuzu. "It's fine. She's just a friend... she's having some problems, and I wanted to help her."
"Aww, onii-chan, you're always so considerate of the girls~... maybe too much..."
Rias – Allen, what did you do to that girl? Now she looks like a dangerous Yandere?
[I.M] "Would you believe me if I said nothing?"
Allen arrived at this house, but he didn't act authoritatively due to his position. He helped with tasks and didn't act rude about Masaki and Yuzu's hospitality.
He was like a respectful tenant who knew the limits. Karin kept an eye on him, but she quickly realized Allen didn't have bad intentions. Even so, she didn't let her guard down. On the other hand, her sister and mother changed. Her mother seemed to have become more childish and less responsible, sometimes complaining about the work with Allen like a child expecting to be pampered.
On the other hand, Yuzu, her sister, became more attached to Allen, but also more jealous. One day, out of nowhere, Karin saw her sister by the window with a dark look on her face, watching Allen as he said goodbye to Orihime and Tatsuki.
The most frustrating thing was that Allen wasn't at fault, and that frustrated Karin even more.
Allen approached Karin, took the knife from her, and gave her a light tap on the forehead. When Yuzu was about to cry, he gently patted her head.
"Hee hee~"
Yuzu laughed and hugged him. Karin watched as Allen seemed to know exactly how to stop her sister's yandere impulses without breaking a sweat, which made her feel even more frustrated.
Allen noticed this, stepped closer and also patted Karin's head.
"I'm sorry..." Allen said, knowing that his presence was what caused this to happen in Karin's family.
Karin bit her lips, but soon sighed in resignation.
"Why are you apologizing? It's not your fault," Karin said, looking at his face. She grabbed Allen's hand, "Don't worry about it."
Allen was about to speak when the front door was slammed open, and Masaki rushed in, jumping straight to Allen.
"Allen-kun!~"
IfAllen saw the mature woman jump excitedly towards him, he could have dodged her but that would have been too cruel. Allen just smiled slightly and allowed Masaki to hug him. A hug wasn't a problem, but Masaki started inhaling deeply.
"Ah~ I need to refill my Allenium reserves ❤️~"
[...That woman…]
'Yeah…'
---
The next day, Rukia woke up and said she needed to report what had happened to "Ukitake Jushiro."
This person couldn't be ignored because, unlike in the original story, he was aware of Allen's existence, and it was he who had allowed Rukia to stay.
At first, Rukia hesitated because Ukitake was also a captain, but Allen thought it wouldn't hurt to inform him about what had happened.
Ukitake was the most understanding and kindest captain of all. He was one of the few who had always refused to execute or arrest Rukia in the original story.
If there was a captain to whom Rukia could confide the events and who wouldn't immediately report it to the other captains, it was him. Allen regretted his death in the original story, as well as his life filled with illness. He was a good man, but sadly, his fate was a poor one.
Rukia and Masaki's meeting would have to wait, she and Allen went to a park to see her off.
Rukia and Allen exchanged looks before she left.
"I'll be back soon…"
"If you don't, I'll go after you and maybe destroy Seireitei."
"Don't be foolish!" Rukia became annoyed but then she smiled with warm eyes, "Take care..."
"You too..."
Allen watched as Rukia left. The situation was different now; the circumstances were, too. There was a possibility that Rukia wouldn't come back, even though in the original story, that wasn't supposed to happen.
Rukia turned for one last look before the door to the Dangai opened.
Around her neck was a pendant that Allen had scolded her for wearing, just in case.
"See you," she smiled.
"Yeah," Allen replied, watching the door close, feeling a bad premonition, and hoping that's all it was.
