Chapter 1302 Treatment

Yoruichi retracted her Reiatsu and grabbed the handle of her Zanpakuto behind her while arcs of lightning emerged from her body.

But before Yoruichi and Aizen could do anything else, Tenjirou stepped in between them with a fed-up expression, "Is there any point in doing this? Aizen, if you're going to mess around, I'd rather you go somewhere else. And Shihouin, you should have some idea why we're here... Except for this guy."

Aizen looked at Tenjirou for a bit before shrugging his shoulders and the terrifying Reiatsu around him disappeared like an illusion.

Yoruichi, on the other hand, stayed silent for a bit before letting go of her Zanpakuto and the lightning around her body withdrew, "Where's Kisuke?"

"He's looking after a global project and taking care of the woman with the surname Sitri."

Yoruichi dropped down to the ground with a frown, "Sitri... Do you mean Serafall? What happened to her?"

"The simplest explanation would be that she almost died." It was Retsu who answered Yoruichi which made her clench her fist and Tenjirou soon followed with a comment, "I'm actually surprised that she managed to stay alive after that."

Yoruichi almost lost her calm but she was able to let out a sigh of relief soon after she fully digested their words, 'Almost... With Kisuke around, she should be fine.'

"I'd like to hear the whole story."

"I'm fine with that, but where's the sleeping beauty? We actually came here first for her."

"Sleeping beauty?"

Claire finally had the time to react and wriggled out of Aika's embrace, "Ah that, Yoruichi-neechan! Kisuke-niichan sent them here when he heard that Koneko-neechan was injured! He said that they might be a better fit than him."

Yoruichi rubbed her chin and thought about it for a moment while looking at Tenjirou and Retsu, "Hmmm... That could be true. Alright. I'll lead the way. Please follow me."

As Yoruichi started walking off, Claire sighed in relief and hoped that this was the last troublesome thing involving the 'Uncle'.

Yoruichi led Tenjirou, Retsu, and for some reason, Aizen towards a detached building on the quiet corner of the expansive island. If not for Ophis and Lilith distributing their snakes to core personnel of the academy to render Aizen's Kyouka Suigetsu ineffective, Yoruichi would have asked him to remain in the same spot.

'Even then, it meant that he'll be able to manipulate the non-core members and that's another form of risk.' Yoruichi asked Ophis if they could give the snakes to everyone on the island but she surprisingly didn't agree despite being fully capable of it, 'He wouldn't like it, huh?'

Yoruichi fully understands Ophis' strange consideration. If they make Aizen fully ineffective to everyone, it can be viewed as being restrictive and the man might react unfavorably, 'There's no way that Kisuke didn't notice this so he's probably already devising a method to detect who is under his hypnosis.'

Aside from that, Yoruichi also noticed that Tenjirou and Retsu both have physical bodies while Aizen remained a purely spiritual being, 'I know he was preparing a 'perfect' body since long ago... Has he planned for this since long ago?' She wanted to hear the whole story in detail right now, but Koneko's case comes first.

A few minutes later, the Shinigami group reached the last room of the detached building and even those who just learned how to detect Magical properties were able to feel the heavy barrier surrounding the room to the point that they couldn't even tell if there was anyone inside.

It took Yoruichi a few seconds to unlock the barrier and enter the room. Inside it were three people and it was obvious who's the patient.

The patient was a young lady in her twenties with long white hair and matching cat ears, peacefully sleeping and surrounded by a gentle purple light.

The one beside her was another cat person but with opposing black hair and golden eyes with a much more mature demeanor. She's a beautiful young woman but that beauty was heavily covered by her tired expression, most notably, her sunken eyes filled with indignation and frustration.

The last one was also a beautiful young woman possessing short blonde hair and red eyes. She was also the first person that the three Shinigami noticed, not because of her appearance but because of the golden cup she was holding.

'Hoo... That's interesting. I'm really glad I came here.' Aizen thought to himself.

Kuroka sluggishly looked up and to who entered the room, "...Yoruichi? They are-"

But before she could even finish her words, the tall man with outlandishly large pompadour moved and a wooden pole with a small plank attached on its other end suddenly appeared in his hand. Written on the wooden plank is [Kirinji] and that same plank slightly tapped the golden cup that Valirie Tepes was holding.

He moved so fast that even the owner of the golden cup didn't notice what happened and only realized that the glow of her Sacred Gear disappeared along with the gentle aura enveloping the room.

"What are you doing!?" Kuroka instantly exploded. But her tired mind and body along with the focus she needed to maintain her Senjutsu didn't allow her to do anything more than that.

Without minding her outburst, the woman she didn't know approached with a gentle smile and hovered her hand above the patient before a translucent green light surrounded Koneko, "It's fine. We can treat her."

Kuroka was confused but she immediately noticed that Koneko's aura became a lot more stable than when she was using her Senjutsu.

"While this thing can stabilize her soul, it has the stupid price of paying with your own life. Don't use it to heal people if you don't have any idea what you're doing." Tenjirou explained to the stunned Valerie with a reprimanding voice.

Not just Kuroka, but also Yoruichi frowned upon hearing that, "Valerie?"

The Dhampir could only scratch her head with an awkward smile, "I thought I'd figure something out if I put more effort."

Yoruichi sighed and was thinking of properly reprimanding her later. But for now, she turned towards Kuroka who didn't know what to do, "Kisuke sent them so you can leave it to them."

Kuroka calmed down and retracted her Senjutsu. Soon the purple light disappeared and Kuroka moved to the side, "Thank you."

Tenjirou approached and went to the side where Kuroka was standing before. He eyed Koneko for a bit before turning to Retsu, "I hope you already noticed what I'm seeing."

Retsu nodded, "I wasn't very sure but if you're saying you can see something, then you're probably referring to that."

Yoruichi also came closer and asked them, "What are you seeing?"

"Something is lodged in her Hakusui. It's cleverly hidden so I can't blame you if that went past your senses." Tenjirou answered while continuing his inspection to see if there was anything else.
