"Rukia, what did you call us over for?"
Ye Yun yawned, looking lazily at Rukia Kuchiki.
If Rukia hadn't called him out, he was planning to sleep while passively absorbing the spiritual energy from the world around him. The first class was math, after all, and its sleep-inducing effects were at maximum power.
Hearing this, Rukia looked at Ye Yun, clenched her small fists, and said with a mix of shame and anger, "Shut up, you despicable lecherous brat! I asked Ururu yesterday, and you don't need to hold someone's butt when doing a princess carry at all!"
It was only after Ye Yun had left that she found out the little brat had actually been taking advantage of her.
"Ururu?"
Ye Yun thought for two seconds and finally remembered the "poor" girl from the Urahara Shop. He coughed dryly and tried to argue, "Well, you see, people's body types are all different. It's like how I can be extremely angry when I'm in a state of extreme anger."
Rukia snorted, not believing a word he said, but was too lazy to argue further. "Forget it. I'm not a petty person. As long as you agree to one condition, I'll forgive you."
"What condition?" Ye Yun asked curiously.
"You will act as a substitute Shinigami!" Rukia looked at Ye Yun seriously, then turned to Ichigo Kurosaki. "You too!"
Ichigo quickly said, "Ye Yun was the one who took advantage of you, just make him do it. Why do I have to do it too?"
Rukia glared at them furiously. "You two took all my spiritual power yesterday! I don't have a single bit of power left and can't perform my Shinigami duties. Of course, I need both of you to help!"
Ye Yun turned his head and looked at Ichigo. "This is all your responsibility."
Ichigo: "???"
"You have to come along too!" Rukia glared fiercely at Ye Yun. Although this guy hadn't absorbed her spiritual power, she just couldn't stand the sight of him looking so carefree.
"Alright!" Ye Yun agreed with a smile.
"Eh!?" Rukia was a little surprised, clearly not expecting this lecherous brat to agree so readily.
Ye Yun smiled. "I'm also very happy to be able to work with a girl as pretty as Rukia."
Rukia's face flushed red again. She huffed a few times and said, "Stupid brat, do you have any idea how old I am?"
"It doesn't matter, I'm a total face-con!" Ye Yun gave her a thumbs-up.
Rukia huffed again, but inwardly, she felt quite satisfied with Ye Yun. Although he's a pervert, he seems like a decent person.
Three hours later, in a park somewhere in Karakura Town.
BOOM!!!
With a deafening roar, a massive chasm appeared out of thin air in the park. The powerful force nearly split the entire park in two.
The whole ground trembled a few times, attracting the panicked gazes of numerous passersby.
"What's happening? Was that an earthquake?"
"Why did such a deep trench appear in the ground?"
"What a huge crack..."
"YE YUN!!!"
Inside the park, Rukia looked at the fissure that stretched across it, deeply regretting her earlier thoughts. She gritted her teeth and said to Ye Yun, "Can't you use a little less force?"
Last night, after changing into her Gigai, she had seen the trail of destruction left by Ye Yun and Ichigo, and her world had nearly collapsed several times over. She had worked from the middle of the night until dawn, erasing the memories of several thousand people, and had almost died from exhaustion.
And now, another huge commotion. She would have to erase the memories of more than a dozen people again.
Ye Yun shouldered his eighty-meter-long greatsword and said helplessly, "You can't really blame me for this. With a sword this big, how do you expect me to use less force?"
The blade was too long, and with the momentum from its tip, even if he used very little strength, it would still cause considerable damage.
Rukia looked angrily at Ye Yun's sword. An eighty-meter-long sword. She had only ever seen such a thing once in her entire life.
Glancing at Ichigo, who was gloating at his misfortune, Rukia gritted her teeth. "I don't need your help anymore. Ichigo Kurosaki, you will handle things from now on. And remember, you are not allowed to cause too much destruction!"
The innocent bystander, Ichigo: "???"
"It's because my sword is too big, not because of me..."
Ye Yun helplessly shouldered his eighty-meter greatsword and walked away.
He was planning to kill a few more Hollows to absorb their spiritual power, but it seemed that was now impossible. With one slash from him, although the Hollow would be killed, the terrain would also be completely destroyed.
"In the end, I still need to master my Zanpakutō..."
Ye Yun thought of Ichigo's Zangetsu after its awakening. As long as he knew the true name of his Zanpakutō, he could change its form and even master all sorts of incredible powers.
"A name, huh..." he sighed, waving to Rukia and Ichigo. "Rukia, Ichigo, you two carry on here. I have something to take care of, so I'm going to head over to Inoue-san's place for a bit."
"Inoue-san?" Rukia was a little confused.
Ichigo, who had been drafted into service, said listlessly, "She's our classmate, the one with the orange hair."
"Orange hair..." Rukia thought for a moment and instantly remembered Orihime Inoue. It wasn't because her memory was good, but because Orihime was simply too eye-catching. What high school student had a figure that... well-developed?
At the thought, Rukia ground her silver teeth. "Despicable lecherous brat..."
"Inoue-san's brother... I remember telling him to be careful. There shouldn't be any problems, right..."
As he thought this, Ye Yun, maintaining his Shinigami form, ran swiftly across the rooftops, heading straight for Orihime Inoue's house.
"Made it!"
Ye Yun leaped down from a rooftop and expertly entered Orihime's apartment.
Instantly, his expression turned grim. He released his spiritual pressure to cover his body, clenched his fists, and walked towards the innermost room.
"The aura of a Hollow. Was I one step too late?"
The room seemed normal, but his spiritual senses could feel an evil presence, undoubtedly emanating from a Hollow.
He thought back to the plot of the original story. Perhaps Orihime's brother had already been lured away, entered the world of Hollows, and was being hunted, or had even become a Hollow himself. It was also possible that a Hollow was in the house right at this moment.
He pressed himself against Orihime's bedroom door and heard a roaring laughter from within.
"Heh heh heh..."
"Human, are you still not coming out?"
"Your little sister is about to be killed by me. Don't you want to protect her?"
It found me... Ye Yun was startled, but he quickly realized something was wrong. The voice didn't seem to be talking to him.
So, he quietly pushed the door open a crack.
Through the gap, he saw a grotesque Hollow with green fur all over its body and a terrifying, ghastly white mask.
And at its feet was Orihime Inoue, her soul torn from her body, her face contorted in pain.
