The sky has completely darkened, and the silver-white moon is still hanging high in the sky, exuding a pure white color. The cold wind blows past, rolling up the withered yellow leaves on the trees, hovering in the air, and falling to the ground.

"The weather is getting colder and colder, even the leaves are turning yellow!"

After dinner, Shihōin came out from Shihōin. Yoruichi Shihōin and Shadow were walking on the way to the Shiba Family. Feeling the cold wind blowing, Yoruichi Shihōin couldn't help but tighten the scarf around his neck and said softly.

"Winter is coming soon!"

Opening his hand and catching a piece of withered yellow branch and leaf, Shadow said, "Time flies so fast, one year after another passes by like this. In the blink of an eye, it has been so long!"

"I didn't expect, Shadow, that you would express such emotion!" Yoruichi Shihōin turned his head in surprise and looked at the man beside him.

"It's not really a feeling!" After a moment of silence, Shadow suddenly sighed; "It's just a little sad!"

"Sad!" Yoruichi Shihōin was stunned for a moment, then laughed; "I remembered something unforgettable!"

"······"

Without talking, Shadow looked up at the silver-white full moon, wait a minute, the full moon, remember it looked like a crescent just now!

"Perfect!" He also raised his head and said Yoruichi Shihōin abruptly.

"What!" Shadow was stunned and looked at Yoruichi Shihōin.

"The full moon represents perfection!" Yoruichi Shihōin smiled, narrowed his golden eyes, paused, and said softly, "This is what my mother told me when I was little. It's beautiful, isn't it?"

"Ah!"

He responded, and an inexplicable look flashed through his dark eyes with a little bit of strange red light. Shadow's hand was attached to the back of his waist without knowing when, and the tentacles felt cold. Shadow knew that it was his forehead protector, which he had not worn for a long time, a forehead protector engraved with the Konoha logo.

······

Turning a corner, Shiba Family's old house was in front of him. In Yoruichi Shihōin's memory, it had been a long, long time since he had been here again. After a hundred years of defection, after Kaien Shiba died, Kūkaku Shiba left here with his young Ganju Shiba, wandering around Rukongai everywhere, Yoruichi Shihōin has been here before after coming to Soul Society. At that time, this house was covered with dust. Apparently no one had lived here for a long time. In fact, Yoruichi Shihōin also knows the reason. Probably Kūkaku Shiba doesn't want to return to this sad place!

In the message Hell Butterfly sent from Kūkaku Shiba, it was specifically stated that Yoruichi Shihōin should come here. When he found out, Yoruichi Shihōin was surprised for a while. Even with a smile on his face, because Kūkaku Shiba is willing to come back here, it means that Kūkaku Shiba has completely solved the knot in his heart, how can he not make Yoruichi Shihōin happy!

When I walked to the door, I realized that the original door, which had faded due to disrepair, had been replaced by a new one. I walked up the steps. Yoruichi Shihōin suddenly smiled with nostalgia, remembering that when I was young, Kaien Shiba and Kūkaku Shiba were always rude every time they came to see them. She kicked the door open angrily, and every time this time, Kaien Shiba would yell angrily from behind, while Kūkaku Shiba would wave her hands indifferently. For her, it was no big deal, because every time she went to Shihōin, Kūkaku Shiba would also kick the door open.

His golden eyes curved into the shape of a crescent moon. Yoruichi Shihōin rubbed his nose with the corners of his mouth raised. He stepped forward, kicked the door open with an unceremonious "bang!" and walked in quickly, shouting as before.

"Kukaku, Kukaku, come out quickly to greet us, Miss Yoruichi is here!"

"Yoruichi, you guy, just come here! What the hell is your name!"

With the same answer as before, Kūkaku Shiba walked out of the corridor, still gorgeously dressed, still with a sexy figure, and still holding the dry tobacco stick that had been used for an unknown period of time, took a deep breath, and blew out circles of smoke rings in the sky.

"Yoruichi······"

"Kukaku······"

"Haha..."

Looking at each other, Yoruichi Shihōin and Kūkaku Shiba laughed. At that moment, both of them seemed to have returned to the days before, that happy time with fresh memories.

"Master!" Ganju Shiba, with sweat on his face and naked upper body, ran from the house to Shadow who was standing at the door. He looked strangely at his eldest sister and Yoruichi Shihōin who were laughing, and asked inexplicably, "What's going on!"

"Nothing!" Shadow also raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and his tone was no longer as cold as ever.

"Speaking of which, this is the first time I have seen my eldest sister smiling so happily!" Ganju Shiba scratched his head and said with a smile; "Although I don't know what happened, I feel happy just thinking about it, haha!"

"You kid..." He knocked on Ganju Shiba's head, and Shadow shook his head.

"Hey!" Ganju Shiba touched the place where he was hit and giggled for a while.

······

"I got up early today to sort it out with Ganju!"

Walking side by side with Yoruichi Shihōin in the empty house, Kūkaku Shiba blew out a smoke ring again, watching the smoke ring enlarge in front of his eyes and disappear continuously.

"The gate has been replaced with a new one, and the yard is also clean!" After looking around, Yoruichi Shihōin chuckled.

"Yes!" Nodding slightly, Kūkaku Shiba sighed; "It's just that it looks empty now!"

"It will get better!" He walked a few steps quickly, opened the Japanese-style sliding door, Yoruichi Shihōin turned around, smiled at Kūkaku Shiba behind him, and said, "After defeating Aizen, Shadow and I will return to Soul Society, Kisuke, Hiyori and Kensei will all come back, and Isshin, Ichigo and his two sisters!"

"I know, you don't need to explain it further!" Kūkaku Shiba followed and curled his lips.

"Haha!" Yoruichi Shihōin smiled, blinked his golden eyes, and said, "I'm afraid you'll turn your back on me, so I explained it specifically!"

"Then I should thank you!" Kūkaku Shiba raised his eyebrows.

"I don't mind!" Yoruichi Shihōin shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said with a sly smile.

"You guy..."

Sighing, Kūkaku Shiba also entered the room. What caught his eye was Miss Yoruichi Shihōin with her legs crossed, holding a tea cup, and a leisurely look on her face.

"You really enjoy it, Yoruichi!"

He spoke rather feebly, Kūkaku Shiba scratched his head and sat down. He reached out and poured two more cups of tea. One cup was placed in front of him, and the other cup was placed on the opposite side.

"Sister!"

Then, Shadow and Ganju Shiba came in and sat at the table. Ganju Shiba, who was smiling, reached out to grab the cup of tea that Kūkaku Shiba had poured before, but Kūkaku Shiba reached out and knocked it away.

"You have to drink it and pour it yourself!"
