"I said, Xiao Byakuya, don't just stare at me and not say anything."
Being stared at by Byakuya Kuchiki, Kimura Muyang suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart. Is the person in front of him an anime character that he liked in his previous life, or a student that he had taught before? After not seeing each other for a hundred years, what identity and attitude should I use to communicate with him now
Looking at the familiar face of Muyang Kimura who was so close at hand, Byakuya Kuchiki recalled the past president. At that time, he had a grandfather, parents, teachers, and Yoruichi who came to tease him from time to time. Now, all he has left is his responsibility as the head of the Kuchiki family, one of the four nobles.
Thinking of these things in his mind, Kuchiki Byakuya couldn't help but become obsessed for a moment, until he was awakened by Kimura Muyang's voice.
After taking a deep look at Kimura Muyang's face that seemed to have not changed at all, Kuchiki Byakuya said in a deep voice: "Can I still regard you as a teacher now?"
Hearing Kuchiki Byakuya's question, Kimura Muyang was slightly startled. He really didn't expect Byakuya to say such words. Moreover, although Byakuya tried his best to hide it, Kimura Muyang still felt a kind of expectation from his tone, and his eyes also contained deep expectation.
"Of course, if you want."
Although he was slightly stunned by Kuchiki Byakuya's question, Kimura Muyang reacted quickly, and a smile slowly bloomed from the corner of his mouth.
"But I'll say it first."
Just after Kimura Muyang finished speaking with a smile, Kuchiki Byakuya suddenly had a slight blush on his face. Although it was very light, it looked particularly pale against his face that was extremely pale due to excessive blood loss. obvious.
Turning his eyes slightly away from Kimura Muyo sitting next to him, Kuchiki Byakuya continued: "If your behavior violates the rules of Soul Society, I will not show mercy to you."
Hearing Kuchiki Byakuya's words, Kimura Muyang was slightly startled. When he saw his erratic eyes and the blush on his cheeks, Kimura Muyang couldn't help laughing loudly.
"Why are you laughing! Don't laugh!"
Hearing Kimura Muyang's laughter, Kuchiki Byakuya's face suddenly turned red and he shouted to Kimura Muyang.
Hearing Kuchiki Byakuya's words, Kimura Muyang laughed loudly again, even happier than before. This was the Byakuya he was familiar with. Although he wore a cold mask on his face, he still The arrogant Byakuya he was familiar with was just concealed by his cold appearance.
After a while, the laughter gradually subsided. Kimura Muyang looked at Byakuya in front of him, and his tone seemed a bit bleak: "I haven't laughed so happily in a long time."
"Yes, it is."
Hearing Kimura Muyang's shrill voice, Kuchiki Byakuya responded in a low voice.
He still doesn't know the whole story of that incident back then. He only thinks that Kimura Muyang betrayed Soul Society. But judging from today's events, it is not as simple as he imagined. Moreover, these Teachers must not have had an easy time.
The atmosphere suddenly became calm. The master and the disciple didn't know what to say for a moment. Byakuya, who had always been wearing a cold mask, couldn't remember how to communicate with the teacher. After the initial excitement calmed down, There is only silence between the two of them now, but even though they are just sitting there quietly, there is a warm emotion flowing faintly in their hearts.
Captain him.
Renji Abarai, who was being treated on the side, turned to look at Byakuya Kuchiki. He was still very concerned about Byakuya's injury, but he didn't expect to see such a scene. He had never seen such a scene before. Kuchiki Byakuya.
At this time, he was not like the cold-faced Captain of the Sixth Division, nor like the head of the Kuchiki family who abided by the rules of Soul Society. At this time, he was just a human being of flesh and blood, no different from anyone else. This was a side he had never known.
Kimura Muyang
"Thank you for your hard work. How are Captain Unohana, Captain Hitsugaya and Vice-Captain Hinamori?"
Seeing Unohana Retsu coming down from the 'Rakushizuku', Yachikazu Iemura, the third seat of the Fourth Squadron who was responsible for arranging treatment on Shuangshou Hill, immediately stepped forward to greet her.
"We can save our lives for the time being. The rest will depend on their own destiny. Now Yongyin takes over my treatment. Who is left?"
"Oh, there's also Captain Kuchiki and the boy who got into trouble."
After hearing the report from his subordinates, Unohana Retsu turned his attention to Kurosaki Ichigo aside. At this time, he was receiving treatment in Inoue Orihime's healing barrier. Under Inoue Orihime's treatment, Kurosaki Ichigo's body The injury is recovering quickly.
Seeing Inoue Orihime's treatment method, Unohana Retsu's eyes showed a trace of surprise. This human girl's healing ability is really outstanding, and the speed of treatment is also very fast. Although it is a spell that has never been seen before, it is not inferior in any way. With the healing techniques passed down in the Soul Society for many years, the injury of the boy in trouble was almost healed.
"It seems that the young man in trouble doesn't need our help."
Moving his eyes away from Kurosaki Ichigo, Unohana Retsu looked at Kuchiki Byakuya on the other side.
"You are so careless, Captain Kuchiki."
He walked closer and squatted down, glanced at the injuries on Kuchiki Byakuya's body, and Unohana Retsu said with a hint of reproach in his tone.
Then, Unohana Retsu turned his attention to Kimura Muyang sitting next to him, "And you, Mr. Kimura, you are so impulsive. Such injuries are unnecessary."
"Teacher, are you injured?"
After hearing Unohana Retsu's words, Kuchiki Byakuya's eyes fell on Kimura Muyang.
"It's nothing serious. It's just a small injury to my arm. I just need to rest for a few days. Besides, I also have some experience in treating ghosts, so don't worry."
Hearing Kimura Muyang's words, Kuchiki Byakuya nodded slightly. He also knew Kimura Muyang's ability, so he stopped worrying. Then, as if he suddenly remembered something, Kuchiki Byakuya looked at Unohana Retsu and said : "Can you ask Lucia to come over? I have something to tell her."
"sure."
Looking at Kuchiki Byakuya lying on the ground, Unohana Retsu answered gently. Kuchiki Byakuya's injuries have been brought under control, and he is slowly recovering under the influence of his own spiritual pressure. There is nothing taboo about it.
"Kuchiki Rukia, please come here."
Unohana Retsu raised his head and said to Lucia who was not far away: "Captain Kuchiki wants to see you for something."
"Rukia."
"yes, Sir."
Rukia walked up to Byakuya, the expression on her face was a bit subtle, she didn't know how to face the person in front of her.
He adopted himself as an orphan, but rarely paid attention to himself. Even when he was about to be executed, he did not show any sign, and even wanted to kill himself again and again. How should I deal with such a brother
"There are some things I want to make clear to you."
Kuchiki Byakuya looked at the face in front of him that was very similar to his wife, with a rare tenderness in his eyes.
"On a spring morning fifty years ago, before the first plum blossoms bloomed that year, my wife died."
"I know, it's Miss Feizhen."
Hearing Kuchiki Byakuya's narration, Rukia suddenly felt a sour feeling in her heart for no apparent reason.
"People say that brother, you were particularly attracted to me because my wife and I look alike, so you brought me into the Kuchiki family as your younger sister."
"That's right. I did tell my family to lie to you like this."
Kuchiki Rukia's body suddenly shook.
"Hisama is your sister, Rukia."
Rukia's pupils suddenly contracted when she heard the secret from Byakuya's mouth.
Byakuya Kuchiki didn't pay attention to Rukia's reaction. At this time, she was already immersed in her own memories. Recalling the time spent with Hijin, Byakuya Kuchiki's eyes showed a trace of tenderness unconsciously. That was a color Rukia had never seen in Byakuya's eyes.
"After Feizhen died in this world, you and she were sent to Xudiao. However, she really couldn't help you survive in that place by herself, so she had no choice but to abandon you who was young at the time and run away. Later That’s what she told me.”
"Feizhen regretted this matter very much. During the five years she became my wife, she kept searching for your whereabouts every day. Then she passed away in the spring of the fifth year. I only found you the following year, so I immediately brought you into the Kuchiki family."
"Introducing people with Rukongai blood into a noble family would break the rules and degrade the reputation of the Kuchiki family, so I was opposed by my family. But in fact, I broke the rules when I brought Hijin into the Kuchiki family, so since After I brought you into my home, I swore on my parents' graves that this was the last time I broke the rules, and that no matter what happens in the future, I will definitely abide by the rules."
"When I decided to sentence you to death, I really didn't know what to do. Should I abide by the oath to my parents and not break the rules, or abide by the agreement with Feizhen to protect my sister? I really didn't know which one to choose."
"Rukia."
Reaching out to hold Rukia's hand, Kuchiki Byakuya said with apology in his eyes: "I'm sorry."
Holding Kuchiki Byakuya's hand tightly and looking at the weak brother in front of her, Lucia suddenly felt a warm current flowing through her heart. What a blessing it is to be loved and cared for by such a brother. All this time, His brothers love him and are not as indifferent to him as he thinks.
After thinking about this clearly, Lucia suddenly felt that she was wrapped in a huge happiness.
