396 Bleach: In the Bath With Yoruichi, Bathing Yoruichi, The Kurosaki Family Is Cozy, And The Hollow Of Kurosaki Ichigo.

How did Allen end up in such an embarrassing situation with Yoruichi directing her delicate hand at his dragon?

Shihoin Yoruichi is a woman highly skilled in hiding and infiltrating, but even with her abilities, it would be impossible for her to transform into a woman without the system or the dolls noticing, under normal circumstances of course.

How is this possible?

To begin with, the current Allen had many powers restricted, so Yoruichi, being passive, careful, and without any bad intentions, could easily go unnoticed by Allen.

But what about the system and the dolls?

First of all, two things need to be understood. One is that there are two versions of the system: one in DC/Marvel, where it has a great ability to understand what is happening and an enormous vision. In those worlds, the system is like a very powerful being in all aspects.

Another is in unauthorized worlds, where Allen shouldn't be, not for any other reason, but because his system wasn't designed for that, the system is as restricted as Allen's. So much so that it has to solve several problems before it can function properly, among them, its level of perception and knowledge about the world.

In the beginning, the system was not even able to open portals for Allen to move, like a GPS without a signal. This will change over time, perhaps little or a lot, depending on the world.

This is the case in Bleach. Right now, the system can only see through Allen's eyes, which is why couldn't sense Yoruichi's presence, too.

As for the girls, it's simpler. When Allen enters passive mode or waits for a specific event, in this case, the arrival of Rukia to the human world, he tends to relax to the point that sometimes Allen is left alone.

At this moment, there are no girls with Allen either, even those who rarely leave him, like Artoria, who is currently meditating to control her Reiryoku, and 2B, who is preparing lunch for Allen in his new home.

Yoruichi also has enormous instincts, and even though she cannot perceive the presence of the dolls, she can feel danger and the sensation of being watched. But right now, neither of those things were happening.

Yoruichi grew more and more confused. After two weeks with Allen, she understood that he was not a Shinigami, but she couldn't understand what he was. His Reiatsu didn't resemble that of a Quincy or a Hollow.

In the story, there have been people who, even while alive, have an abnormal amount of spiritual energy. This is the case with Kurosaki Ichigo's friends in the canon, who could see hollows and even fight them. However, there was something fundamentally different about Allen. Yoruichi, who had never encountered anyone like him, couldn't figure it out.

She leaned back against the bathtub with her arms while watching Allen. Regardless of who he was, Yoruichi could say he was not a monster, at least not one who would suddenly try to conquer or destroy the world.

In that sense, Yoruichi relaxed by his side, at least she didn't feel the need to be extremely cautious with him. Even though she didn't like that he treated her like a real cat, she started to get comfortable with his presence. Of course, except for the times when Allen treats her like a real cat.

Yoruichi not only transforms into a cat in appearance, but she also has part of a playful and mischievous cat; she thinks to "punish" Allen for his actions and extends her mischievous hand to a dangerous place. Which brought us to the previous scene.

...

"...!"

Yoruichi's actions stopped midway remembering how silly that was. She withdrew her hand that was going to Allen's crotch.

'What am I doing?' She looked at Allen's face and then snapped back to reality.

Yoruichi is a woman who is clear in her actions, determined, doesn't care what others think of her, is not afraid of anyone or anything, and is willing to risk her life in difficult situations. She is loyal and a woman with a strong mindset.

The issue or problem is that, no matter how much she likes him and is not indifferent to his attractiveness, there are no romantic feelings or carnal desires at this moment. They don't know each other beyond their interactions, and in Allen's case, he hasn't even spoken to her.

Yoruichi is not a shy woman, nor one who would hesitate to knock Allen down to devour him if she felt that way, but somehow her feelings were not like that.

Yoruichi smiled, then shook her head. Her personality almost made her do something too reckless; even she had limits. Plus, she didn't want to reveal her identity for something so silly.

She changed her objective, got up without making any noise, and moved her hand toward Allen's back. She planned to scare him a little, although she doubted it would work.

Yoruichi was still naked, making the scene take on a perverted touch. Her body, too well-made, trembled where it should with every one of her movements.

...

Yoruichi's hand reached Allen's shoulder and caressed it. She was ready to disappear the moment he tried to open his eyes, but Allen didn't react. She was offended and started to massage him but Allen did not open his eyes.

'Huh? It's not like he's asleep...' Yoruichi blinked incredulously. Doesn't Allen find it suspicious to feel a woman's hand in this situation?

Yoruichi felt strange, in this house; it was just her and Masaki. Does Allen think it's Masaki who's doing this?

'Perverted brat, do you look at your aunt with those eyes?'

Yoruichi felt angry for some reason and decided to punish Allen by making him have an awkward moment with Masaki later.

'Pervert...' She leaned her face in frustration and extended her tongue to lick Allen's ear. Unexpectedly, he didn't react, or maybe he did, but it was just a slight smile as if he expected her to do something like that.

Even though Yoruichi was a very daring woman, she couldn't compare to Allen's audacity in thinking that Masaki would do this. Of course, Allen didn't think it was Masaki but one of his girls.

Yoruichi considered stopping, but at the same time, she felt like she was being underestimated. She changed her mind and put her hand in the water. Someone might complain to her and say that she had just thrown everything she'd thought before out the window.

"Allen Onii-chan, are you in the bathroom?"

"...!"

Yuzu's voice froze Yoruichi and brought her back to reality. At that moment, she blushed. Seeing Yoruichi blush was something no one would witness in a hundred years of knowing her, but here she was, doing just that.

Allen opened his eyes when Yuzu called him and responded, "I'm here, Yuzu-chan."

"I see, then I'll wash your clothes..."

"No need."

"Don't worry!~" Yuzu exclaimed as she rushed out of the bathroom.

"..."

Allen could only watch through the semi-transparent bathroom door as Yuzu grabbed his clothes and ran at light speed.

"Yuzu?"

Over these two weeks, Yuzu had become more attached to him, sometimes offering him coffee or a drink, other times offering to wash his back.

Yuzu had a kind personality, so at first, Allen didn't notice anything strange. However, over time, he noticed a certain insistence on washing his back, or when he told her that he could do his own laundry in his new apartment, Yuzu did not accept it.

Allen felt sorry for Yuzu. Maybe she was looking for that masculine/fatherly presence she didn't have in her life with him.

Allen looked at the cat by the edge of the bathtub, watching him.

"Meow~"

"I guess it's your turn..."

Allen got out of the bathtub while he felt the cat's gaze intensifying for a moment as he got out, but that feeling quickly disappeared.

Allen grabbed a towel and wrapped it around his waist. He then picked up Yoruichi and carried her to the hand shower. He rinsed her off, and she behaved quite well. However, when it came time to use soap, she became uncomfortable and even tried to leave.

"Meow!!!"

"Calm down, Kuro, you must endure... it's just water and soap..."

'You bastard! I'm a lady, too; how could I allow... Ah~... Wait!... Hm~... y-you bastard!... nhhg~'

Yoruichi shuddered as she was rubbed with soap in places no one other than her fiancé should.

It may sound strange coming from a woman who walks around naked, but let's not forget that she comes from an ancient family, and her values reflect that. So when questioned about personal matters, like her younger brother, she usually claims that they're not her fiancé to know such things about her.

Yoruichi hadn't calculated the situation well. She was a very strong woman in attack, but unexpectedly, she was weak in defense.

Both embarrassment and humiliation hit her too hard, so she attacked Allen with her claws. However, Allen's body was not so easy to harm, and he just laughed. Besides, getting scratched by your cat is something every cat owner knows is normal.

"Wow, you're a rebellious girl," Allen said to his black cat.

Allen rinsed her off again and finished bathing her. Then he wrapped her in a towel and carried her to his room.

'Allen... I'll make you take responsibility for this... or I'll kill you... tsk...' thought Yoruichi defeated.

....

On the way, he ran into Karin.

"You! You!!" Kurosaki Karin pointed at Allen with an annoyed look. "How dare you walk around like that in the hallway?!"

Allen only had one towel, and it was indeed somewhat indecent, but his room was five steps away, so Karin was very unlucky.

"Good morning, Karin. Well, what can I say? Yuzu took my clothes again..."

Karin turned her gaze away while grinding her teeth in frustration and embarrassment. No matter how much she yelled at Allen, he wouldn't get upset, and that frustrated Karin. Karin is a girl who grew up quickly; she's aware that the world is full of bad and opportunistic people. She doesn't know Allen's true identity, but her mother and sister dropped their guard too quickly.

What if he's a bad person?

What if he tries to hurt them?

What if he's a pervert targeting her mother or worse, her sister?!

(A/N: To be honest, at this point, I think Karin has a point for being so cautious with Allen. That guy doesn't forgive anything.🍷🗿)

Allen felt Karin's gaze turn hostile, as though he were a dangerous predator. He smiled ironically; the reason he was here was because Aizen, as his viewer, obtained information that he misused and took her brother away. Now he feels responsible for helping his sisters, mother, and friends in his place.

Allen passed by Karin, stopped after a few steps, and turned back to look at her.

"You might not believe me, but I won't hurt your family…"

Karin stopped trembling from frustration and glanced at Allen from the corner of her eye. In his gaze, there was nothing she could use to disprove his words. But Karin felt guilty and stopped looking at him. She felt that if she let her guard down even slightly and gave Allen the smallest amount of trust, he would get into her mind, her heart, and she'd stop suspecting him... and that was something she couldn't afford.

Without her father, her family depends on her, to stay safe.

Allen could feel a faint Reiatsu from Karin; it was quite similar to a Shinigami but too weak to be detected by Masaki. Allen could only sense it because Karin also has Quincy's blood, which means she can't hide anything from him.

Allen glanced into the living room from the hallway and saw Yuzu cleaning; she also had a faint trace of spiritual energy, but unlike her sister, it was closer to that of a Quincy.

In Yuzu, the Quincy blood is stronger, and in Karin, the Shinigami blood is stronger.

Allen shrugged; after all, both girls are the protagonist's sisters, so it would be impossible for them not to have something special about them.

Allen returned to his room, changed into another set of clothes, and started drying Yoruichi with a towel. Then, he used a hairdryer and finished with a brush.

Allen smiled faintly, "Even though you didn't like the bath, you seem to enjoy drying off afterward."

Yoruichi seemed to remember she wasn't a real cat and ran out the window. Allen laughed at this.

Allen got ready to leave, but as he did, a thought crossed his mind: "Wait if Ichigo never existed, what happened to his Hollow?"

The Hollow that almost killed Masaki didn't just disappear, and it wasn't inherited by Karin or Yuzu...

Allen frowned; it's very likely that Aizen recovered it. He didn't know how, but that Hollow was a monster among the Hollows... Knowing that it was Kurosaki Ichigo's power, Aizen would not let it loose.

...

In a secret underground facility within the Rukongai, district 75 North, there was a humanoid Hollow with long horns suspended in a tank of some kind of amniotic liquid.

A man with glasses typed quickly on a holographic panel, but not one of technological origin, rather spiritual.

His name is Kaname Tosen. He has dark purple hair and wears the traditional Shinigami clothing with sleeves rolled up to his shoulders, and his captain's haori over it. He has an orange scarf around his neck, white boots (instead of the usual sandals), and fingerless gloves. His eyes are a strong pink, without pupils. He generally wears clear glasses, though this isn't always the case. He keeps his hair tied in a ponytail.

Kaname Tosen sensed a presence approaching from the darkness, but he ignored it.

Gin smiled at Kaname's indifferent face. "Oya~ looks like Kaname-kun is a hard worker~"

"Shut up, Ichimaru... I need to stabilize Shiro (White) again," Kaname replied coldly, but there was an air of nervousness in his voice.

"Oh, so the Hollow tried to escape again... and it seems its power has increased again. If it became an Arrancar, it would be even more powerful than Yami or Star..."

"If this Vasto Lorde became an Arrancar... it would kill both of us in an instant."

If people knew what was happening here, it would probably cause the biggest scandal in the history of the Soul Society, not only because they were keeping a dangerous Vasto Lorde Hollow in the Soul Society. But because this is tantamount to treason.

Although most Hollows are simply human souls that have become corrupted, there is a special subgroup of these beings, the Menos, which are conglomerations of hundreds or thousands of common Hollows that eventually form a single entity, possessing much greater strength than any normal Hollow.

Menos Hollows are considered the most dangerous in the Soul Society, and only elite Shinigami are capable of fighting them and defeating them successfully. However, battles between Shinigami and Menos are quite rare since these Hollows don't usually leave Hueco Mundo unless drawn by large amounts of spiritual energy or directed by external forces.

The Menos Grande, also called Gillian, is the weakest and most numerous class of Menos, being the first stage of their evolution.

The Adjuchas (literally "Great Intermediate Hollow") are Menos that have evolved from the Gillian stage to a higher one, becoming much more powerful and gaining greater intelligence and combat skills. Unlike Gillians, Adjuchas can vary greatly in appearance, ranging from muscular humanoid-like creatures to more animalistic ones

The Vasto Lorde (literally "Great Superior Hollow") are, by a wide margin, the most powerful and rarest class of Menos, and the highest evolutionary stage they can reach, according to the Soul Society's reports.

They are practically legendary figures, and their exact population is entirely unknown to the Shinigami. Very few Vasto Lorde have been confirmed, and it is believed they inhabit the deepest corners of Hueco Mundo. Details of their evolution are unknown, such as whether they need to devour more Hollows to maintain their state and other aspects. It is known they are the smallest and most humanoid of the Menos. Their power level is such that they may even be more powerful than a Shinigami Captain in battle.

That monster is in the society of souls, and the culprits were the third division captain Ichimaru Gin and the ninth division captain Kaname Tosen, both often seen aligned with the other Captains.

Ichimaru Gin wears the Shinigami uniform, over which he dons the white haori of the Captains, but without sleeves. His Zanpakuto is visible beneath the haori at his waist.

Unlike most of the Captains of the Gotei 13, he wears no representative insignia. His most notable feature is his eyes, which are almost always closed (earning him the nickname "fox face"). Physically, he is tall and slender, but with strong features, giving him a sleek appearance. He has unusually silver hair and always maintains a wide, mocking smile, only abandoning it on rare occasions of annoyance, surprise, or confusion.

It goes without saying that what these two captains are doing is a crime worthy of execution, not a betrayal.

"Kaname-kun, shouldn't we report this?..." Gin said, smiling but already feeling immense pressure from the sight of the Vasto Lorde.

Both Gin and Kaname had seen some Vasto Lorde, but Shiro was special, a mutant among the Vasto Lorde and the only one capable of resisting the Hogyoku, refusing to become an Arrancar.

"No," Kaname replied. "That person is busy right now; we were tasked with taking care of Shiro (White)."

Gin frowned, "With Shiro here....It won't be long before we're exposed... what is more important than this?"

"It should be the Ryoka who fought with Unohana..."

"Still, they escaped to the human world and haven't made any moves... I don't think we need to worry about it, Kaname-kun"

"Ichimaru Gin, it's not our job to question his decisions..."

Gin squinted his eyes at the Vasto Lorde, he had a dark expression as though it could escape at any moment.

"By the way, what happened to Shiro? He escaped and then entered that Quincy woman's body... I thought he was going to die, but the captain managed to recover him... and now he's turned into a terrifying monster."

"It doesn't matter if we complete the Hogyoku; even this Vasto Lorde won't be able to resist losing its mask."

"Kaname-kun, I don't know if this is a good idea..."

Gin clenched his sword as his skin crawled. There was something about Shiro that was different. It was as though it was a reminder that this world was functioning wrongly.

A/N: How long will Yoruichi resist as Allen's pet? Will he run away or give up? 👀
