World of the Living, Karakura Town, Dark Night Residence.
In Dark Night Residence at night, the lights are brightly lit, and the courtyard is lit with brilliant colors. The occasional cold wind blows through the unclosed windows, swaying back and forth.
In the main hall, Yoruichi Shihōin, who was wearing white suspender pajamas, sat cross-legged on the sofa very unladylikely, watching funny TV programs, laughing out loud from time to time, and the coffee table in front of him was filled with piles of snacks, fruits, etc.
"Haha..."
Suddenly, there was another burst of laughter. Yoruichi Shihōin was laughing so hard that he could hardly hold the snacks in his hands.
With a sound of "Wow!", the Japanese-style sliding door behind him was opened, and Shadow, dressed in a black outfit, walked in as expected. It would be surprising if, one day, Yoruichi Shihōin didn't look like this!
"Shadow, you're back!" After laughing, Yoruichi Shihōin shook his arms without looking back and shouted, "Bring me a glass of juice!"
"Okay, Lady Yoruichi!" Shadow responded, took out the juice from the refrigerator, poured a glass, and handed it to Yoruichi Shihōin; "Lady Yoruichi, it's getting very late. After drinking the juice, it's better to go to bed early!"
"Yeah!" He nodded casually, Yoruichi Shihōin drank the juice, but still stared at the TV with his golden eyes unblinking, bursting into laughter from time to time.
"······"
Shadow grinned and nodded helplessly. At this time, Yoruichi Shihōin probably wouldn't listen!
However, the good thing is that the TV soon came to an end, and Shadow not only breathed a sigh of relief; "Lady Yoruichi······"
"Yes, yes!" Yoruichi Shihōin catered casually, yawned lazily, raised his arms and shook them; "Shadow, Shadow..."
Sparing his head, Shadow stepped forward, leaned down, and let Yoruichi Shihōin hug his neck. At the same time, he used his arms hard to lift Yoruichi Shihōin up and walked towards the bedroom.
However, there was an unnoticeable pause when he opened the door. He gently put Yoruichi Shihōin on the bed, pulled the quilt and covered her up. Shadow turned around and was about to walk out, but the moment he turned around, he was held by Yoruichi Shihōin's hand with a confused look on his face.
"What's wrong? What are you doing? You can't sleep at night!"
"That... something happened!" Shadow was stunned and laughed dryly; "Lady Yoruichi just go to bed first, I'm not very sleepy, and..."
"It's up to you!" Before Shadow could finish his words, Yoruichi Shihōin waved his hand, buried his head in the quilt, and said in a low voice, "Come back early, and don't forget to turn off the lights when you leave!"
"Okay, I get it!"
Slightly stunned, Shadow then raised an imperceptible smile, nodded, turned around and walked outside, turning off the light switch as he walked.
The moment he closed the door, the smile on Shadow's face disappeared immediately, and a sharp cold light flashed through his dark eyes with a little bit of strange red light.
I can't say it's a danger, but the uneasy feeling is like a poisonous insect that eats away at the bones.
Although it was just a momentary feeling, Shadow, who had always been cautious, still took it to heart, leaned against the door and sat down slowly, holding the dark Zanpakutō in his arms. Since he could not find the source of the uneasiness, in order to ensure nothing goes wrong, he still had to be more careful!
Thinking about it, Shadow gently closed his eyes, but the palm holding the handle of the knife couldn't help but tighten.
······
What was expected and unexpected was that nothing happened that night. It was as quiet as usual. Shadow stood up and tied Zanpakutō back on his back. However, the angular face did not relax at all, but became more and more uneasy as time went by.
It's just that Shadow didn't tell Yoruichi Shihōin all this. After breakfast, Dark Night Residence welcomed an unexpected person outside.
"Kisuke!" Looking at the sudden arrival of Kisuke Urahara in surprise, Yoruichi Shihōin frowned deeply; "Did something happen again?"
"That's right!" Kisuke Urahara nodded while leaning on his chin; "I don't know much about something, so I came to Yoruichi-san to confirm it!"
"Things!" Yoruichi Shihōin asked strangely; "What!"
"It's a long story!" Kisuke Urahara looked around and said, "By the way, where's that guy Shadow!"
"In the kitchen!" Yoruichi Shihōin said impatiently; "Stop talking there and tell me quickly! What happened!"
"Lady Yoruichi!"
Opening the door, Shadow walked in with a tray, placed the hot milk on it on the coffee table, glanced at Kisuke Urahara coldly, and remained silent without saying a word.
A chill suddenly hit his body. Kisuke Urahara put his hand into a fist and put it to his mouth. He coughed twice and said, "That's right. The main reason I came here is to ask Mr. Yoruichi and Mr. Shadow, if they still remember a person named Ichigo Kurosaki and another named Rukia Kuchiki!"
"Kisuke Urahara!"
Before Yoruichi Shihōin could speak, Shadow's hand immediately grasped the handle of the knife, and his eyes were full of biting coldness; "What do you mean, what do those two guys say..."
"Do you know them?"
One sentence was spoken by two voices at the same time, Kisuke Urahara and...Yoruichi Shihōin.
"Lady Yoruichi!"
Shadow frowned deeply. How could these two people not know each other? However, why did this happen? Urahara Kisuke didn't say it for now. Even Shifengyuan Yoruichi gritted his teeth when he looked at her confused look.
"You really don't know them? Lady Yoruichi, you are..."
"What!" Yoruichi Shihōin asked in confusion; "Should I know them? Shadow, what's wrong with you today? Why are you talking so weirdly!"
"I'm weird!" Shadow's mouth twitched, and his face was covered in cold sweat. Please, who among us is weird?
"It's just as I expected!" Kisuke Urahara suddenly said; "But what I really didn't expect is that Mr. Shadow, you actually still have their memories!"
"Memory!" Yoruichi Shihōin exclaimed in surprise; "Do we really know them!"
"According to logic! It is indeed the case!" Kisuke Urahara nodded.
"Kisuke, stop showing off!" Yoruichi Shihōin said eagerly with a solemn look on his face; "Tell me quickly! What is going on? My memory... do I really know them? Why do I have no impression at all!"
"It's very simple!" Kisuke Urahara raised his hand and snapped his fingers. "Ichigo Kurosaki is the son of Isshin. By the way, you should still remember Isshin!"
"Yes, I remember this!" Yoruichi Shihōin nodded.
"As for Rukia Kuchiki! She is the sister of Byakuya Kuchiki..."
"Let's get to the point!" Gritting his teeth for a while, Yoruichi Shihōin instantly became furious; "Asshole!"
"Yes, yes!" Kisuke Urahara nodded in fright, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and continued, "I think Yoruichi probably doesn't remember them!"
"Ah!"
"It's normal, because I don't remember these two people either!" As he said, Kisuke Urahara took out a book full of names from his arms and said, "If their names hadn't been recorded here, I wouldn't have forgotten them so surely!"
"But, then again!" Kisuke Urahara paused before continuing; "Just last night, Soul Society Twelfth Division captain Mayuri Kurotsuchi suddenly went crazy, and then destroyed facilities everywhere... As a result, it seems that one-third of Seireitei was completely destroyed!"
"Then, the person I called Ichigo Kurosaki came to me because the Bleach named Rukia Kuchiki was missing, but I couldn't remember who she was!" Kisuke Urahara looked solemnly and said, "After sending Ichigo Kurosaki to Soul Society, I investigated and found that many, no, almost all of Bleach's memories do not contain the existence of these two people!"
"How could this happen?" Yoruichi Shihōin was shocked, but she still trusted Kisuke Urahara's words.
"Really speaking, the reason for our memory confusion may have some inseparable relationship with Mayuri Kurotsuchi!" Shaking the small fan in his hand, Kisuke Urahara said thoughtfully; "But what is going on! I seem to have some familiar feelings about memory confusion, but I just can't remember it!"
"No matter what it is, Kisuke!" Yoruichi Shihōin stood up and said in a deep voice; "There are bound to be problems with this kind of thing, so just think about it slowly! I will go to Soul Society with Shadow to have a look first. Although I said I forgot, fortunately Shadow still remembers it!"
"That's true!" Kisuke Urahara smiled and grinned; "But I also want to go to Soul Society, but I won't be with you!"
"I understand, let's go! Shadow!"
"Yes!"
In response, Shadow turned around and followed Yoruichi Shihōin out. However, he took off Zanpakutō and held it in his hand. He frowned. The disappearance of the memory should be last night. That uneasy feeling refers to this! So, did you help me prevent the memory confusion this time?
