Staring at Rukia Kuchiki for a few seconds, Ye Yun suddenly had an epiphany.
In the anime, the reason Rukia stayed at Ichigo Kurosaki's place was mainly because Ichigo was the only Shinigami around. Now that there was a much more conspicuous version of himself, of course Rukia would choose to stay with him.
After all, a grand villa was much better than a closet.
Sorry, Kurosaki, for stealing your roommate...
...
"Wow, this bed is so soft!!!"
Rukia threw herself heavily onto the bed, excitedly rolling back and forth.
Leaning against the doorway, Ye Yun asked speechlessly, "Why do you look so much like a child? Don't they even have beds in the Soul Society?"
Rukia sat up on the bed and nodded seriously. "The beds I slept on in the Seireitei were all wooden. Even with a futon, they were still very hard. This is the first time I've ever slept on such a soft bed."
"Alright then." Ye Yun fondly ruffled her hair. "You can stay here and rest well. I'll make sure you enjoy yourself."
Rukia's face flushed red, and she slapped his hand away. "Brat, I'm a one-hundred-and-fifty-year-old Shinigami. Don't treat me like a child."
"Yes, yes, yes," Ye Yun readily agreed.
"Oh, right!" Rukia suddenly remembered something and, like Doraemon, pulled out a spray can. "I have to alter Inoue-san's memory."
Ye Yun was a bit displeased. "Is that really necessary? After all, you're both living in my house. You might run into each other in the future."
"It's necessary. What if she goes around telling everyone that there are Shinigami and Hollows in this world?" Rukia ran out with the spray can.
Ye Yun couldn't be bothered to intervene. Orihime would remember everything in a few days anyway.
...
Soon, evening arrived.
Orihime Inoue looked at Ye Yun with a blush, shyly extending her small hand. Forcing down her bashfulness, she took his hand and said, "Ye Yun-kun, when are we going to the Kurosaki's for dinner?"
Ye Yun: "..."
Black lines covered his forehead as he shot a look at Rukia, conveying a clear message: You damn Shinigami, just what kind of memory did you give Inoue-san?
Rukia blinked her eyes, also sending a message back: The spray alters memories randomly. I don't know anything.
Ye Yun slapped his forehead and helplessly held Orihime's hand as they walked towards the Kurosaki Clinic.
Soon, a loud roar came from inside the clinic.
"WHAT!!!"
"YE YUN, YOU'RE MOVING OUT!!!"
Ichigo looked at his father speechlessly. "Dad, you're being too loud."
"Ahhhhh!! You unfilial son!!" Isshin Kurosaki wailed, sending an unsuspecting Ichigo flying with a fierce kick.
Thud!
Ichigo was embedded in the wall, several veins popping on his forehead as he glared at his father through gritted teeth. "You damn old man..."
"Ye Yun, why are you moving out? Did that unfilial son of mine make you angry?" Isshin looked at Ye Yun with tears streaming down his face.
Ye Yun coughed a couple of times. "Uncle Isshin, you've misunderstood..."
Isshin cut him off, pointing at the lavish feast on the table with tears in his eyes. "Ye Yun, as long as you stay here, I'll make food like this for you every day! I'll even give you Ichigo's room..."
Ichigo's eyes widened instantly. "Then what about me!?"
"You can go sleep in the storage room!"
"WHAT!!!"
Ye Yun said helplessly, "Uncle Isshin, you've misunderstood..."
"Is it because I stopped you from dating Yuzu and Karin?" Isshin had a sudden realization and immediately ran over to his two daughters. "Although I can't let you date both of my daughters, if it's just one of them..."
Pow!
Pow!
Yuzu and Karin, their faces bright red, retracted their fists and glared fiercely at their father.
"What are you talking about, you stupid old man!?"
"I'm still too young, right?"
Looking at the heartwarming scene, Orihime, who had just lost her family, couldn't help but smile. She then said shyly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Kurosaki. The reason Ye Yun is moving out is all because of me. I'm so sorry for making you so sad."
Isshin's eyes widened in understanding. He then threw himself in front of Masaki's portrait and wailed, "Honey, did you see that!? Our child has grown up and is moving out with his girlfriend! Boohoo, I'm so reluctant to let him go!"
The corner of Ichigo's mouth twitched a few times. He fought back the urge to hit someone and looked at Ye Yun and Orihime. "Are you two living together?"
Orihime nodded shyly and said in a small voice like a little wife, "In the future, Kurosaki-kun, Yuzu, and Karin can come visit our house too. It's not far from here. I'll be a good hostess to everyone."
Ichigo nodded slightly, then felt something was off and stared at Ye Yun, dumbfounded. Yuzu and Karin were also stunned, then they pouted, looking at Orihime with a hint of hostility.
Ye Yun gave a dry laugh, deciding to give Rukia a good beating when he got back. Just what the hell kind of memory did she alter?
After a big meal, Ye Yun waved goodbye to Isshin, Ichigo, Yuzu, and Karin.
Ichigo couldn't help but sigh. "Ye Yun is moving out. I'm actually a little sad to see him go."
Yuzu and Karin nodded with teary eyes. They had all lived together for five years and had long since considered each other family.
"YE YUN!!!" Ichigo suddenly shouted. "Where is your house!? I'll definitely come find you in the future!!"
"Oh, it's that one!" Ye Yun pointed to a mansion less than fifty meters away.
Ichigo: "???"
Isshin: "???"
Yuzu: "???"
Karin: "???"
They stood frozen at the entrance, watching with their own eyes as Ye Yun walked into the mansion, which was several hundred times more expensive than the Kurosaki Clinic.
The next morning, Ye Yun looked speechlessly at the four people who had come over to freeload a meal. "Didn't you guys say you were going to cook for me?"
Ichigo frantically shoveled rice into his mouth and mumbled, "Shut up, you filthy rich person!"
