One day has passed since the earth-shattering explosion. During this period, not only Seireitei and Bount, but even Yoruichi Shihōin, who had already woken up, dragged his heavy body to 35th District.
Not only 35th District, but dozens of blocks around it were blown into nothingness by that force. There was no trace of popularity, and there was only boundless desolation.
Anyone who saw it could clearly feel the terrifying power of the explosion. After the shock, all that was left was fear.
Soul Society, West Rukongai, First District suburban, Shiba Family.
Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Kūkaku Shiba looked at Yoruichi Shihōin who was standing in front of him with a silent face and a feeling of death all over his body. He had not taken a puff of the dry cigarette in the corner of his mouth for a long time. Finally, he sighed helplessly and bitterly.
Opening his mouth, Kūkaku Shiba fell silent again. After a long time, he spoke in a low voice, "You... you have to think clearly. If Yoruichi, Shadow were alive, he would definitely not want you to do such a stupid thing, so..."
"There's nothing to think about. That bastard guy Shadow has always only cared about himself. Even for this kind of thing, he has never thought about what to do if I am left alone!" With an indifferent expression, Yoruichi Shihōin said lightly; "Since he has not considered me, why should I care about his opinion? Besides, I am the master!"
"This is not the same thing!" Kūkaku Shiba was almost furious. He spit out the smoke in his mouth and shouted loudly, "Shadow threw you out because he wanted you to survive well. He cares about you the most. Yoruichi Shihōin, can you calm down a little! Don't let Shadow's hard work go to waste!"
"I'm very calm, Kukaku! And I know exactly what I'm doing, or what I'm going to do!"
Shaking his head, Yoruichi Shihōin's expression was still indifferent. It was an empty indifference, but the indifference made Kūkaku Shiba feel a little heartache and a little uneasy for no reason.
She never imagined that the death of Shadow would bring such a big blow to Yoruichi Shihōin, or a change. Under such a powerful explosion, Shadow, who was in the center of the explosion, had a chance of surviving. This was known to everyone, including Yoruichi Shihōin.
"He is always so self-righteous, thinking that everything he does is right and good for me, but what I want is never such a thing!"
After closing his eyes, Yoruichi Shihōin's golden eyes, which had long dimmed, flashed with a touch of sadness and a touch of despair. The corners of his mouth were raised, but they were no longer the confident and cunning ones before. It was a bitter smile.
After a long time, Yoruichi Shihōin continued to speak; "You know! Kukaku, I really can't believe it. I'm so scared of the days without him. When I open my eyes in the morning, Shade, I don't know, even, how I can survive now..."
Looking at Yoruichi Shihōin who kept whispering in a low voice in front of him, listening to the grief-stricken words, feeling the extremely painful expression, Kūkaku Shiba opened his mouth, but suddenly found that he had nothing to say at all, thousands of words, nothing could be said. At this moment, he seemed so pale and weak.
The current situation is not comparable to that of Hueco Mundo War more than a hundred years ago. At least, at that time, although Shadow was not awake, he was still alive.
"... That's it. We already agreed a long time ago that we will always be together. How could he just leave me alone and just leave!"
After being silent for a long time again, he suddenly laughed softly, Yoruichi Shihōin turned around and walked towards the door step by step.
"I am Bleach, Soul Society is my home, Seireitei is my root, after this Bount Incident is over..."
"If Shadow guy really can't come back this time! Then, I will go over and accompany him..."
"He said please let him be wild for once. In that case, let me be wild for once!"
Standing up suddenly, reaching out her hand, Kūkaku Shiba opened her mouth, but in the end her arms hung down helplessly. What could she say?
Staring at the figure walking further and further away, a complicated look flashed across his eyes, Kūkaku Shiba closed his eyes lightly, gritted his teeth, Yoruichi Shihōin, you idiot...
······
At the same time, West Rukongai and Ran'Tao were in the underground cave.
Shadow, wrapped in white bandages, was lying on the bed, gritting his teeth. His dark eyes seemed to be able to spit out flames, staring at Ran'Tao who was standing beside the bed, holding a steaming medicine bowl in his hand. He was no longer as cold as before, but had a smile on his face.
However, the latter didn't notice it at all, or rather felt it, but ignored it at all, and still handed the medicine bowl to Shadow's eyes.
"Here, take the medicine, Shadow, open your mouth..."
"You, damn it! Woman..."
"Hey!" Ran'Tao made a pretense of surprise, shook his head, straightened his face, and said seriously, "Be honest and cooperate. If you don't take medicine, you won't get better. If you don't get better, you can't go find your Lady Yoruichi!"
"So, this is the medicine! Shadow Do you want to take it or not?"
"Are you threatening me again?"
Shadow's eyes suddenly turned cold, why again! This is the first time! Bastard.
"I didn't!" Ran'Tao seemed to be used to hearing it, but he shrugged his shoulders and said calmly, "I'm just trying to reason with you! But then again, this medicine is going to be cold!"
"Damn woman, I will definitely kill you!"
Shadow gritted his teeth and said something that he had said absolutely no less than ten times in this day, but there was no other way. He still withstood the threat, hesitantly opened his mouth, and drank the so-called medicine that would definitely be painful to death.
Is this really okay! You're not kidding me, take revenge on me! Shadow's dark eyes are still staring at Ran'Tao. If eyes could kill, Ran'Tao would definitely have died thousands of times, but, unfortunately, that's not possible!
"Well! Just drink the medicine obediently. This will make you feel better faster!"
Finally seeing the bottom of the bowl, Ran'Tao put away the bowl, looked at Shadow's slightly blue face, smiled and nodded, looking very satisfied.
But that smile, no matter how Shadow looked at it, felt extremely hateful, considering what kind of person he was, but now he was being threatened by a woman, seizing his weakness, and forcing him to submit. God knows how he drank the painful and painful medicine. For Shadow, this was definitely a great shame for him, even though this woman had saved his life.
"Okay, you should take a rest first! I'll wash the dishes!"
Ran'Tao said, and before Shadow had time to speak, he ran out in a hurry.
Shadow was stunned, how could this be different from back then! However, before he could think clearly, Ran'Tao's loud laughter could be heard faintly from above the ground. The fact that it could reach Shadow's ears from the ground was enough to explain some problems.
The corners of his eyes were beating wildly and his fists were clenched. Shadow tried hard to suppress his anger. However, listening to the intermittent laughter, Shadow couldn't bear it anymore...
"Ran'Tao!!!!!!"
"······" Silence.
"You damn woman!"
"Haha..."
