397 Bleach: Quincy Skills Development, Caring for Dolls, Three Months, Inue Orihime and Arisawa Tatsuki.
Bleach is a terrifying place, much more than you think. If you think life is hard, dying in the world of Bleach is a true survival race.
If you don't quickly meet a Shinigami or get eaten by a Hollow and turn into one yourself, and perhaps, if you're unlucky, you might run into the only active Quincy in Karakura Town, Ishida Uryu, who will destroy your soul.
...
Crawling along a wall, a Hollow stared intensely at a "Plus" (This is what they call newly deceased souls that haven't been corrupted).
The Plus was a middle-aged man in an office suit, with glasses and a briefcase. These objects aren't real, just like his clothes, his consciousness recreates them as a trace of longing for his previous life.
The man grabbed his head without realizing that a monster was looking at him, "Where are you?... Huh? What was I looking for?!"
He walked back and forth, trying to remember something but couldn't. Death can affect memory, even if the person hasn't been purified yet.
The man held his briefcase but didn't dare open it since it was just an image, not really there.
"What am I... How?"
Just like anesthetized animals, Plus souls are defenseless against Hollows.
The Hollow opened its mouth and extended its tongue. It had once been a person, but now it was just a monster. With a shrill scream, the Hollow leaped towards the Plus at great speed, its giant mouth closing with the intent to devour the Plus in one bite.
The man snapped out of his daze and looked in horror at the unknown monster that seemed to have come out of a horror movie.
"Ahh!"
The man took a step back, the only thing he could do before his mouth closed, but he was fine.
"Not this time..." A young man's voice reached the ears of the man and the hollow.
The man looked ahead and saw a young man with platinum-gray hair standing there. This young man had his hand bitten by the Hollow, but instead of a gory scene full of blood, the monster couldn't hurt him.
The man gasped in astonishment at the golden veins running through Allen's body. It was "Blut Vene" (Venial Blood / Blood of the Vein).
This technique originally had a blue color, but Allen wasn't using Yhwach's blood, he was using his own, so it had a different hue. Then, he mixed "Chi" while using them, which gave it a golden tint.
Allen is extremely skilled at manipulating spiritual energy, not just through his natural talent but also through his cursed technique that works in this world.
The sound of the bite was like metal being chewed.
Allen raised his hand simulating a gun with his fingers, and a golden flash of light appeared.
"Bang"
A huge hole appeared in the Hollow's body, reaching halfway through its face. Even a creature with low intelligence, like a common Hollow, could recognize the type of enemy it was facing, but it was too late, and it began to disappear in fragments of light.
Allen found Makima's technique easy to replicate using the Quincy arrows, and as a result, he created an instant shot of spiritual energy.
"That was a good Bang..."
Makima appeared on his shoulder. She didn't change her expression, but it was rare for her to say something nice or genuinely choose to praise him, which surprised Allen.
"Thanks..."
Allen smiled slightly, although he didn't look it Makima was in a good mood when he used his technique. Being at odds with someone you're destined to live with is torture for both parties. Allen knows he won't get along with Makima all the time, but for now, it looks like it won't be a problem to have the sadistic redhead in a good mood.
Allen turned around and looked at the Plus. "Sorry, it seems you're dead"
"I'm dead? Ah... I indeed am.... heh it wasn't the best death."
"I'll send you... to the Soul Society."
"I guess it's the afterlife?... okay, thanks..."
The fate of the dead in this world sent chills down the people in the chat, but there were no easier options for Allen, so he simply sent the man. It was better to be there, where he could have luck and end up in a district with a single digit.
The man thanked Allen, still confused, as if forgetting something important.
Allen watched the Plus disappear, but before leaving he was curious to see what the man was trying to remember.
'System?'
[Proceeding to restore the memory of a spiritual entity... completed.]
In front of Allen appeared a screen showing the man's life. He was just a single office worker who worked for an exploitative company and died from overwork.
The man had a simple life with just a hamster as a pet, no friends, and no family.
...
A portal appeared in a small apartment. The system had extracted the address from the man's remaining memories. Inside, there were trash bags everywhere, magazines, dirty clothes, no family photos, and it seemed there hadn't been visitors in a long time. What a pitiful man. Allen approached the brown and white hamster, lifted its cage, and brought it back to his world.
When he arrived, MJ and Gwen started fighting over who would keep it.
"You're too busy looking at fashion magazines to take care of a hamster, redhead!"
"You have your head buried in books all day, sometimes you need Allen to feed you, or you wouldn't do it, blonde!"
Allen didn't stop them. These "fights" between them were their way of getting along, something that might seem strange, but he knows when MJ and Gwen are genuinely upset, and neither of them is.
"Brother!~"
Alice came through a door connecting to her world with her aunt Alison and Annie. The little girl smiled and ran toward Allen while Alison felt embarrassed for causing trouble, and Annie Junuary, better known as Starlight, smiled. She wore her superhero costume, now a more aesthetic and brighter version of Supergirl's suit. It wasn't strange if you considered that Starlight was the Supergirl of her world.
"What's up, Alice?"
Allen petted the little girl, who clung to his legs.
"Brother, what will you do with the hamster?"
"Well, Gwen and MJ wanted to take care of it..."
Alice's big eyes opened in shock and then started tearing up.
Allen looked at the girls with a half-smile. "But maybe it's better to give the hamster to Alice, right?"
MJ shrugged. "It's okay, the hamster will be fine with her..."
Gwen cursed upon hearing MJ's words. Was she implying that the hamster wouldn't be okay with her?
Gwen took a deep breath and returned to her calm state. "Alice took good care of Lord Meowington, so there shouldn't be a problem."
Both girls agreed, so Allen gave her the hamster.
"Yay~ I'll call you Count Hamtaro!"
Allen looked at little Alice while she chose a noble title for her hamster and then understood where the name "Lord Meowington" had come from.
...
That night, Allen returned to his new apartment. He decided to split his time between the Kurosaki family's house and here.
Allen lay face down in his personal room, which had a king-size bed. It had to be large, for obvious reasons.
2B entered with a tray carrying coffee and a sandwich. Allen remembered he hadn't eaten anything since the morning.
The beautiful girl with short silver hair and a blindfold in her eyes looked at Allen for a moment before asking.
"Master, haven't you had any luck yet?"
"No, from the information I found, there are twelve districts in Karakura Town, and Urahara's shop should be in the Mittsumiya district... but it wasn't anywhere..."
Allen opened a screen while biting into his sandwich. He had been searching for two weeks and hadn't found any trace of Urahara's shop. It would take Allen months to check the other eleven districts.
Additionally, it was most likely that Urahara was hiding. He knew Urahara was cautious, but this level of precaution against him was too much.
2B noticed the stress on her master and approached.
"Master, can I give you a massage to relax?"
Although she asked, 2B already had her hands on Allen's shoulders as she climbed onto the bed. The girl was diligent and knew her master's body well and what he liked.
Allen looked at 2B's smile and slightly red cheeks. He knew she was happy serving him, but he was still curious about something.
"2B, do you miss your world?"
"No."
There was not the slightest hesitation in her words, yet Allen remembered the state in which she arrived with him.
"Let me correct my question: Do you miss YoRHa?"
"I... feel sorry for them. I took the liberty of checking the records of my world, and I can only see sad or unsatisfactory endings. It's a world doomed from the start..."
"Would you like to change that?"
2B stopped massaging Allen's shoulders and hugged him from behind. "My only wish is for you to be okay, but... I guess I'd be happy if the Yorha girls knew real hope..."
"I see. Then I'll do my best to go to your original world..."
2B smiled but also got a little upset. "Master, I said that my wish is for you to be okay...YoRHa is just a small dissatisfaction."
"No, but seeing 2B sad would make me unhappy, so I must make you smile for me to be happy too..."
"Master, I'm already two hundred percent happy~"
"Then I will make you three hundred percent happy..."
"Master, I can't process that logic."
Allen pulled 2B into his arms, "You don't have to understand it."
Allen stole 2B's lips; she responded to her master's desires with diligence, affection, and passion, to every caress and without restraint; despite being an ever-subservient girl lately, 2B was greedy when it came to demanding affection from her master.
Allen just as greedily removed his 2B's clothes.
"Ah❤️~"
They had a long night, and no one interrupted them, though it wasn't for lack of desire. There was an unspoken agreement between the girls not to bother each other in intimate situations. Something like that was necessary, or Harley would rush in at every opportunity.
...
A couple more days passed, and Allen decided to stop searching for Urahara—it was a waste of time. Instead, he would try to improve his Quincy powers, increase his spiritual energy, and figure out whether he could naturally awaken the power of a Shinigami without dying or if he would need to rely on the system.
Allen was lying on his back in bed when someone appeared at his side. It was Makima.
Allen glanced at her from the corner of his eye. She stayed silent, watching him with no apparent emotion.
"If you're looking for a fight, let's do it tomorrow. If you want something, you can speak. If you want punishment, I'll give it to you later."
"Don't you fear me?"
"Huh? Should I?"
"No, with your power, you could kill me easily... maybe not in this world, but you could..." Makima gave a slight smile. "I want to ask you what I need to do to make you let me go..."
"That's impossible..."
Allen had already given too much freedom to the dolls, and the result was that three had left him, and one enslaved an entire country.
"It's a miserable life to have me by your side. You know I could stab you at any moment..."
Only Makima dared to openly say that she would betray Allen again if she could. She had promised it once—she would always be against Allen and would look for a chance to escape or kill him, but for now, she would be obedient.
Allen grabbed Makima's hand, but she didn't resist; Allen pulled her onto the bed and got on top of her, grabbing her wrists on both sides. Both of their gazes were indifferent.
"You know I can kill you. Don't think I'd hesitate to tear your heart out." Allen's eyes turned red, and his hair turned black, while an intense darkness swallowed the light of the room, leaving only the bed and themselves visible.
"Go ahead, do it this time, do it forever... but I know you won't... because you're a coward..." Makima remained indifferent while provoking Allen, but there was a trace of nervousness deep within her.
Allen remembered that Makima had admitted to being afraid of demons born from primal fears, and it was the chainsaw demon who freed her from that fear by confronting the primal fears and showing her that she didn't need to be afraid.
Allen looked at Makima she was a demon. With all due respect to Rias and Akeno, but Makima was a real demon in every sense: cruel, vile, evil, without compassion, willing to sacrifice everything just for her goals.
Allen knew it. He was condemning himself to live with her madness. He would either kill her or endure her eternally, but she could never be free. Allen had to be chained to Makima. But that meant living knowing that if he showed weakness at any point, she might stab him.
Allen was so angry that his inherent power as Void began to leak out. It was dangerous, but Allen had already taken Makima to a different dimension so they wouldn't be detected by the Bleach world.
"You're a nuisance, Makima."
"I could say the same, Allen Walker"
"I didn't ask for you to come to my world."
"Neither did I."
"You're a horrible woman."
"You're a disgusting man."
"I don't want you near the women I love."
"You know what you have to do, coward..."
"..."
"..."
Allen and Makima fell into silence, still in the same position. Their golden and sky-gray eyes met, and Allen wondered if it was really worth having this monster on his back.
Makima looked at Allen. How did it end up like this? If she had asked, she would have preferred to be eaten by Pochita and disappear forever. Now she had to be tied to this unpleasant guy.
Allen felt the urge to destroy Makima, but he didn't. He just stayed on top of her, holding her wrists.
Without either speaking, they moved closer until their lips met—a kiss... a kiss that wasn't passionate or tender, but strange for both of them.
After that interaction, Allen pulled away and let Makima sit up, her expression also one of confusion.
"Why did you do it?"
"Impulsively... and why didn't you refuse?"
"I didn't see the need to."
Allen shook his head. Makima was beautiful, despite being a monster inside. Maybe for a moment, he lost control.
Makima simply accepted it. She wasn't thinking about the kiss or even something more. In that sense, Makima was the girl most like a real doll he had.
Allen didn't feel like anything had changed between them, other than a slight discomfort.
He decided not to think about it anymore and went to take a shower before returning to his room.
Makima watched him leave and stayed there, motionless. She touched her lips for a moment. There was neither disgust nor happiness—just a tired expression, as if she had been doing the same thing for too long and was already fed up.
Deep down, she didn't even know what she wanted anymore...
...
...
Time passed ...
*???'s POV*
Have you ever wondered what it feels like to die?
I wouldn't be able to tell you. I don't know if it's painful or my body just doesn't feel it anymore...but it's cold...
Just when I thought it was the end of me, a golden light appeared and filled me with warmth.
I started to regain consciousness. Now everything is clearer.
I was run over.
I looked at my savior, but my vision was blurry, and I could only register his silver eyes. He was a young, very handsome guy. I wanted to say something, but my voice didn't come out. In the end, I fell into a deep sleep and drifted off.
*End of POV*
...
Allen got up from the street and made way for the paramedics, who took the girl to the hospital. Allen had used Chi to save the girl who appeared in the first episode of *Bleach*.
Gwen – It's good you did that, otherwise, she wouldn't have been saved in the end.
MJ – What do you mean?! :(
Kimiko – Hmm, from what I see, she's helped by the protagonist, but in the end, a Hollow attacks her, and no one ever knows what happened to her... assuming Hollows' nature is to eat souls, well...
"Kimiko, you don't need to make anyone sad. She's fine."
Allen looked at the sky. Three months had passed, and it was time to start the canon. For now, he helped the girl from episode one. She wasn't someone who was originally saved, but Allen helped her out of goodwill.
There isn't much information about when she died exactly, but it's said she died recently, so it's easy to assume that Allen has reached the beginning of the story.
Allen narrowed his eyes. In these three months, he had never managed to find Urahara Kisuke, so he was sure that Urahara had memories of his Chat, like Aizen.
On the other hand, at this time he also returned to the Wandenreich (Invisible Kingdom) only to find a kind of division among the Sternritters. Some Sternritters thought Jugram had done something to Yhwach, which is why he could only receive him and no one else.
Jugram justifies this by saying that everything is by His Majesty's orders, and they should accept it without question.
Allen left that place, but he had to decide what to do about Quincy. They were as powerful as the Gotei 13, and he couldn't ignore them.
On the other hand, Allen practiced his Quincy skills until he could activate Quincy: Vollständig and use his Schrift (Sacred Writing or Letters). Allen's designation was "A – The Absolute."
During this time, Allen understood that the Schrift you receive is influenced by your personality, powers, unique traits, and even desires. However, Allen couldn't use this power too openly or it might raise suspicions.
*Shouting*
Allen looked at the roof of a building. Several Hollows, large, deformed monsters with masks, looked at him with a mixture of desire. Allen squinted his eyes and kept walking. The Hollows in question had multiple holes in their bodies. All were killed before they could react.
Allen released small amounts of Reiatsu from time to time to attract the Hollows and get rid of them. Of course, unlike a Quincy, he didn't destroy them—he purified them. And he was able to do this thanks to the Chi, which unexpectedly had a spiritual purification effect.
Allen practiced enough to hide his Chi with ordinary Reiatsu. It was even better for them to think that he had an abundance of spiritual energy than for them to realize he could use previously unseen powers.
Allen kept walking until he reached a school. It might have been a little awkward since he had practically already graduated, but it was necessary. He didn't know how else he could meet Ichigo's friends, who would die without him.
"Allen..."
A huge guy approached Allen. He had that peaceful aura that suits big guys very well. Allen found this guy who looked like 16 from "Dragon Ball" not in their appearances, but in their personalities that are kind to the weak. He was Yasutora Chad.
"Hi, Chad"
"Mm" *Friendly grunt*
DoomGuy – *Friendly grunt*
Chad was a man of few words, but surprisingly very pleasant.
"Allen, help me!"
A guy with shoulder-length brown hair ran toward Allen and hid behind his back. This guy was Asano Keigo, the classic goofy friend.
Behind him was a girl, looking angry.
"Bastard! How dare you call me a gorilla?!"
"Hi, Tatsuki..." Allen said, Ignoring Keigo who used him as a shield.
The girl looked at Allen and her face went from anger to a smile, "Hi, Allen... I see they're using you as a shield again. You should let go of friends like that!"
Arisawa Tatsuki is a slim and athletic young woman, due to the continuous training she undergoes. Her eyes are brown, her hair is black, and she wears it short; she has a rough and direct character; some consider her the cute tomboy par excellence, and others simply fear her.
"Hey!" Keigo complained. "It's not much different from the way you treat us! You call me a damn pervert, but you always treat Allen with respect!"
Tatsuki smiled with a vein popping out of her head. "Maybe because he doesn't go around staring at Orihime's boobs..."
"I can't help it!"
Allen gave Keigo a look of disdain. Tatsuki looked at him with disgust, and Chad shook his head, grabbing Keigo by the neck of his clothes.
"Hey, let go of me, Chad!"
"You need to cool your mind..."
"Ahhh!"
Keigo was dragged away from there by Chad.
Tatsuki was left alone with Allen, and suddenly, the atmosphere became awkward, of course, only on the girl's side, who blushed while Allen stayed calm.
Tatsuki thought for a moment before speaking, "Allen, I was wondering if you'd like..."
"Tatsuki-chan!"
Allen saw an amazing sight—a beautiful girl with orange hair running, her huge breasts bouncing in a scene that would make many men nosebleed.
Allen decided to censor the Chat to avoid perverts.
[I.M] "Before anyone complains, remember Orihime's age at this moment..."
Allen stopped the complaints in his chat before they started.
"Orihime, how many times have I told you not to run? You're forbidden to do that!"
"Eh, but you ran too fast!"
The girl was Inoue Orihime. She was a legend, as she managed to steal the role of the main heroine, just as Hinata did with Sakura.
She's a beautiful girl with big eyes, long orange hair, and incredibly well-endowed curves, impossible for an average woman. This girl is capable of making many of Allen's girls jealous when they watch the livestream.
"Allen-kun~"
Orihime approached him innocently while smiling; Allen sighed, knowing what she wanted, and stroked her head.
"Hee hee~" she smiled happily.
"Orihime..."
"What's wrong, Tatsuki-chan? You have a scary face." Orihime used Allen as a shield, but she, having huge breasts, ended up pressing them against Allen, which made Tatsuki-chan expel fire.
'Well, here we go again...'
