The Unforgiven from Shinigami

"You ruler! Mask of flesh and blood, all things, soaring wings, things bearing the name of mankind!"

Scorching heat and strife, a southward surge across the sea, stepping forward, the Hadō #31: Shakkahō!

Rukia even reached her destination, the Hollow of the Garganta had already emerged. Rukia immediately began chanting a powerful Hadō and pushed forward with one hand.

A fiery red light rolled back in his palm, condensing into a sphere of burning flame that shot forward.

The light of the Kidō flashed through the air and landed precisely on the bone surface of that void.

"Ah."

The void let out a roar, its bone surface cracked in the flames, and its body dissipated into black particles.

Rukia landed on the telephone pole and saw a little black-haired girl lying on the ground. Had she been accidentally injured?

The question flashed through her mind, and she jumped from the telephone pole onto the deserted street illuminated by the streetlights, running forward.

As she drew closer, Rukia suddenly sensed something was wrong. There seemed to be a blurry silhouette behind the little girl. She quickly jumped back and shouted, "Who are you?"

"Tch, my disguise isn't very good yet."

A soft ticking sound.

The little girl slowly stood up from the ground. She had black bangs and empty eyes, like a lifeless doll.

Rukia narrowed her eyes, and the Hollow silhouette behind the little girl became increasingly clear. "A Hollow that controls humans?"

"It's not about controlling humans."

The little girl retorted, and suddenly her scalp split open, her skull popped out automatically, her eyeballs detached from their sockets, and she became a shriveled, dry skin.

An orange-red soft body sprang from the skull and landed on top of a hollow head.

The little girl's skin turned into a pendant that swayed in the air. Her ethereal body was enormous, covered in grayish-brown fur, and her hands and feet looked like chicken claws.

Its bone surface is square, with a pair of scarlet eyes and six tomoe-like holes spread across its cheeks.

"Grand-Fisher."

Rukia read the name aloud. When she was bored, she often looked through Soul Society's information about Hollows, and this Hollow's name was among them.

It conceals itself and uses a mimicry decoy on its head to disguise itself as a human, specifically preying on humans whose mimicry is visible, thereby increasing its own strength.

Over the years, Shinigami that has encountered it has been annihilated without exception.

Should we call for backup?

No.

Rukia's eyes flashed with determination, "Dance! Sode no Shirayuki."

A white ribbon fluttered at its end as the person Shunpo.

First Dance - Moonlight.

The tip of the knife drew a circle rapidly on the ground, a snow-white light shone, and the air instantly froze into ice, forming an ice pillar that even froze the clouds.

Grand's figure was not inside the icicle. It had sensed the danger early on and avoided it. It spread its limbs in the air, its gray-brown fur suddenly lengthened, and then stabbed downwards with great speed.

The icicles dissipated, Rukia quickly dodged.

Bang, bang, bang! The cement floor was pierced with holes. "Hahaha, little girl, you're still too green."

But I like girls like you~

Grand let out a wild laugh; its massive size did not affect its swiftness.

Rukia twisted her ankle.

Grayish-brown hair whipped out from the side, shattering the wall with a bang, and Grand's left hand suddenly stretched out.

Rukia a whoosh, four claws shot out from its fingertips.

She dodged Shunpo, revealing four points on her Shihakushō, blood gushing from the wounds.

Thankfully, the injury wasn't too serious.

Rukia was panting heavily; this Hollow was too troublesome.

"Haha, it's time to end this, little girl. I'll use your most respected Lord Kaien to devour you."

Grand laughed loudly. It had been attacking with its left hand, because once the claws of its left hand pierced a person, it could search that person's memories and find the person it could not bring itself to harm, the person it regretted the most.

Then, the right hand can transform the mimicry above the head into that person's appearance.

"Yo, Rukia."

Kaien Shiba black hair and spiky hairstyle, appeared there, greeting everyone with a bright smile, "That stab you gave me was really vicious."

With a clatter, Rukia's Sode no Shirayuki fell to the ground. The child's eyes trembled as she looked at that familiar face, which pulled her into an illusion that she couldn't tell if it was a dream or reality.

Rukia felt as if she had fallen into an icy pool, unable to even struggle, only sinking little by little as the cold water submerged her mouth.

"Hahaha."

Grand laughed heartily; it loved toying with others like this.

However, there have been too many Shinigami lately, so let's not delay too long and devour this delicate Shinigami in one go.

It opened its Kog'Maw and pounced forward.

A flash of light appeared, like moonlight revealing its shape.

Grand stopped abruptly.

boom.

A loud bang echoed from the ground, the concrete road cracked open, and cracks appeared on both sides of the wall.

The moment the dust rose, a tall figure blocked the girl's path.

"Lu." The Red-Hair man turned around, about to reprimand her. How foolish of a Shinigami to willingly throw his Zanpakuto at him.

" Renji..."

Rukia crossed her arms, her body trembling, her eyes filled with tears, like a cat with nowhere to go.

Renji Abarai was speechless, his heart clenching, and he said with a grave expression, "I'll kill this guy."

"Kill me? What a boastful boast."

Grand sneered, putting on a brave front, but in his heart he was already preparing to run away.

It has survived to this day not because of brute force, but because of its alertness in running away at the first sign of trouble.

Reinforcements have arrived. What if another Shinigami arrives if we continue fighting?

Running away is the best option.

"Watch me take you down!" Grand the sheep roared, pretending to charge forward, but actually turned and ran to the other side.

call.

Renji Abarai Shunpo to block in front of him.

Grand was taken aback; his grayish-brown fur grew wildly and curled forward.

Renji Abarai swung his sword, but Zabimaru, though arriving later, struck first, the blade aimed directly at the bone.

Grand was forced to curl her fur back in an attempt to protect her bone structure.

Zabimaru's powerful force pierced through the hair, directly penetrating the bone, and then he flicked it to the side.

"Ah! My face!" Grand screamed, still alive.

It has two bodies. The mimicry of Kaien Shiba quickly absorbs the illusory form into the soft body on its head, and its hands and feet turn into chicken claws. It kicks off the wall, trying to speed up its escape.

Renji Abarai caught up with him Shunpo of his wrist, his extended Zabimaru a soft whip at Grand in the air.

His Zabimaru can extend and launch three attacks in succession, after which it needs to be retracted.

I just saved Rukia once, and killed Grand's main body once, so this is the third time.

It was even more powerful and faster than the previous two.

Grand sensed something was wrong and was filled with fear. He raised his arms to block, hoping to alleviate the attack.

Zabimaru split it in two, then contracted it layer by layer.

Watching it turn into black particles.

Renji Abarai returned to Rukia's side and watched her pick up the knife from the ground.

He didn't speak.

Rukia broke the silence, saying, "Aren't you going to ask me why I lost my sword?"

Renji Abarai and asked, "Would you answer if I asked?"

Rukia remained silent.

Renji Abarai's eyes were clouded with gloom. He had thought that she would live a good and happy life after joining the Kuchiki Clan, but it seemed that was not the case.

"I'm sorry, Rukia, we've been apart for so long, so long that I don't know what problems you've encountered, but it must have been a very heavy burden for you."

Renji Abarai scratched his head. "It takes a lot of skill to get the answer out of you without hurting you."

I'm bad with words, and I can't think of a good solution, so I can only wait.

Tell me when you're ready to talk, when you've let go of the past.

" Renji, aren't you ashamed to say that?"

"Stop being so long-winded."

Renji Abarai blushed and shouted.

"Haha, thank you, Renji."

Rukia's eyes were full of tenderness.

Renji Abarai and said, "Idiot, why are you and I still talking about those things?"
