Seated in the well-lit basement of Kukaku’s house, they sipped their steaming tea. Yoruichi, as Kazuya anticipated, revealed only the bare bones of his story – his name, and his aspiration to join the ranks of the Shinigami.
“Why?” Kukaku questioned, brows knitted in puzzlement. “Last I heard you’re banished from the Seireitei. Why help him get into Gotei 13?”
“He is a friend, just like you,” Yoruichi responded, smoothly sidestepping the question. “Let’s talk...

Yoruichi let out a soothing purr of relief, her velvety paws finally relaxing their grip in Kazuya’s messy bed of hair. “You came through.”
Lifting a hand, Kazuya cradled Yoruichi’s delicate feline head, his fingers tenderly tracing the contours of her soft fur. “Never underestimate the resolve of a man who’s survived a toxic relationship. Do you have any idea how much self-control it requires to hold back from snapping, or even... killing that person?”
His words wer...

Within the next hour, Kazuya found himself back in Kisuke’s well-lit underground chamber, facing Kisuke with Yoruichi on his side.
Kisuke raised the tip of his hat. “Ready to take a step back in time and explore your dark past? What I mean is.” Without awaiting a reply, Kisuke whipped out a ludicrously large megaphone from the depths of his robe and roared into it, “ARE YOU READY?”
Kazuya snatched the megaphone and tossed it aside. “Just bring out the Senkaimon.”

For the next two weeks, Kazuya continuously trained with the Visored, refining every ability at his disposal, from the basic Cero to the most devastating ability at his disposal, Oppression. His Hierro armor hardened, absorbing lethal attacks from Mila Rose with ease. His Sonído soared to new heights with constant battles against the well-oiled battle machines like Visored.
He hadn’t been the only one who reaped rewards from this training. The influence of his ‘Crumbling Heart’ a...

Kazuya had a refreshing bath with Sung-Sun first thing in the morning. Mila Rose, Apacci, Harribel, and Cirucci were already there, nestled around the table in the dining room. Each reacted differently as Sung-Sun walked into the dining room with him, her fingers twined possessively around his arm.
A scornful sneer twisted Mila Rose’s lips as her gaze hardened with clear disdain. Apacci, on the other hand, attempted to cloak her emotions behind a mask of aloofness. But the subtle twit...

Nights were often a toss-up between sleep and fun for Kazuya these days, hinging mostly on Apacci’s whims. She’d sneak into his bed every night before him and surprise him with kisses as soon as he crawled into the bed.
Tonight was a little different. He was searching for Sung-Sun, who was nowhere to be found in her room or anyone else’s room for that matter. As if she had vanished from the mansion. With the Reiatsu concealing Gigai, it was next to impossible to trace any of his c...

At Kazuya’s mansion.
Cirucci emerged from the building and shielded her eyes from the dazzling sunlight. Around the glistening pool, Apacci, Harribel, and Sung-Sun sprawled across chairs, their bodies still as statues basking in the sun. On the other side, Mila Rose splashed clumsily through the pool like an eager child. She was in the middle of learning how to swim, a challenge that went against her nature as a lioness.
From Cirucci’s perspective, all four women relaxed and e...

The Visored took their training seriously as mastering their Hollow Masks was an important goal, surpassed only by their burning desire to hold Aizen accountable for his deplorable sins and kicking his ass.
The training routine of the Visored typically involved fierce sparring matches between pairs within the confines of a force field created by Hachigen. One such bout was about to unfold at the very moment.
A figure of towering stature and a solid physique, crowned with short sil...

Kazuya was a little stumped about choosing a name for his faction, which only consisted of six members — five ladies and him. He eventually wanted to introduce powerful Hollows like Starrk, but Mila Rose’s prejudice for men hadn’t completely vanished.

Nami's voice echoed in his mind, suggesting names that reeked of her own chuuni tendencies. As he narrowed his gaze on the crystal...

Performing a fluid sequence of stretches, Yoruichi Shihōin coaxed her lithe body into wakefulness. Her muscles, unlike the brute strength of Mila Rose, were defined by agility and flexibility, resembling the finesse of a panther ready to pounce.

Yoruichi then surveyed the varied reactions around her, hoping that her unexpected transformation had its intended impact. Mila Rose wa...

Kazuya had decided early on that the claustrophobic confines of Kisuke’s underground chamber were no residence for his companions. It was, in many ways, more limiting than the Hueco Mundo. Thus, he made it his mission to secure them a mansion, where they could live safely and often go out to explore the city as they wished.
So, in the following days, he embarked on a solo adventure in Karakura Town and its neighbor Naruki City. His target demographic consisted of rich housewives—reg...

Anxious eyes darted around the modest yet tastefully furnished bedroom. There, at the room’s heart, lay a plush bed adorned with two crisp pillows. Alongside, a modest table hosted a flower pot, lending a touch of life to the room. On the wall hung a clock, its steady tick-tock resonating with her throbbing heart.
She perched on the edge of the bed, her senses prickling as a quiet murmur began to intrude upon the calm. The sound rose gradually, from distant, muffled impacts to the unm...

Kaien had a soft spot for the classic delicacy of rice cakes filled with red bean paste. He, of course, couldn’t return to the Soul Society just for his cravings. Instead, he slipped into his Gigai, embarking on a quest for his desired treat in the bustling marketplace of Karakura Town.
Guided by the tendrils of fragrant scents wafting in the air, he quickly found a little restaurant serving his favorite food seemingly more delicious than the ones he ate in the Seireitei.

As Kazuya walked back to his comrades, his gaze swept over Cirucci and Mila Rose, who had abandoned their sparring session. The group had assembled together, radiating a familial bond that reminded him of a gathering around a bonfire. Sung-Sun and Apacci were bundled together, sharing the plush softness of a large towel, their bodies close enough to feel each other’s warmth. The outward warmth evaporated as soon as he heard Sung-Sun teasing Apacci.

“Hold on,” Kazuya called out, halting Kisuke and Yoruichi just as they were about to exit the room. “There’s something we’ve overlooked. I'm a Hollow, a Quincy. How on earth am I supposed to transform into a Shinigami?”
Kisuke turned around and brandished his wooden cane. “Kazuya-san, could you shift into your Quincy form? I’ll demonstrate a simple way to turn you into a Shinigami.”
“But, that won't work,” he protested, his skepticism peeking through. When de...

The moment Kisuke's proposal escaped his lips, a blanket of silence fell over the room. Yoruichi’s eyes twinkled with amusement. Just as she'd predicted, Kazuya's composure was rattled. To him, Kisuke’s suggestion was nothing less than a call to step back into his own haunted past — the Gotei 13, home to his murderer, the wolf in sheep’s clothing Aizen Sosuke.
"What?! How could you ever think I'd say yes to that?" Kazuya responded, his surprise masterfully acted. He had a hunch ...

Kazuya let out a sigh, running his hand through his silver locks. “I’d honestly prefer it if you were a busty chick sitting on my chest.” he said, the corner of his mouth pulling into a slight grin. “Do you already have a name, or should I provide one for you?”
“My name… what was my name again? ...Nami? It’s only a fraction of my name… Just call me Nami. Not the Nami from One Piece mind you.” She scrutinized Kazuya’s expression, finding it calmly unsurprised. “Yo...

With a careful gentleness, Kazuya ran his fingers along Apacci’s bare back, kneading the tension away with a firm yet soothing touch. His other hand cradled an enigmatic egg, pulsating rhythmically with vibrant waves of Reiatsu. The mystical orb seemed to brim with a sense of contentment, as if it enjoyed his touch, or perhaps it was merely using its Reiatsu to speak in a language only it understood. The egg's true thoughts were shrouded in mystery.

Mila Rose felt Apacci’s Reiatsu spike in the midst of her mock battle with Cirucci. She halted abruptly, signaling Cirucci to cease as well. “Absurd.”
Cirucci cast an envious glance at Apacci. “She has surpassed both of us.”

“Yeah. They’ll try to avenge their leader when they find out Baraggan is dead.”
A wicked grin split Mila Rose’s face, revealing her sharp, predatory fangs. “Not if I devour them...

Kisuke and Yoruichi answered Kazuya’s call instantaneously. Yoruichi stretched languidly, yawning. Her voice was sleepy but teasing, “Give me a good reason for disturbing my evening nap.”
Kazuya smiled. “It doesn’t really concern Shihōin-san but Urahara-san. My friend, can I borrow the Hōgyoku?”
Kisuke, usually so quick with a response, was rendered speechless. Kazuya’s request for the Hōgyoku - the most unknown element in the world - was as casual as asking for a...

Back in Urahara Shop, Lisa threw another question at Kazuya, her gaze emanating cold anger. She suspected Kisuke of revealing her background to Kazuya for obvious reasons.
Kazuya maintained a neutral expression, knowing well that a simple nod of his head could land Kisuke in a whirlwind of trouble. He was tempted to say yes, but given Kisuke’s cunning, he would evade Lisa unscathed.
He shook her head. “I knew who you were the moment...

Lisa's gaze was locked onto Kazuya, shock apparent in her wide eyes. Her expectations had painted a very different picture — one of Kazuya captured by Kisuke. Yet here he was, in the midst of a group of Hollows, a dominant leader rather than a captive. The atmosphere around him, the very essence of his Reiatsu, had transformed, so much so that if she closed her eyes, she would perceive him as an entirely different entity. His aura was undeniably similar to those she had always considered he...

As the Garganta gateway whispered shut behind him, Kazuya was met with an expanse that sprawled out in stark contrast to the world he’d left behind. Not a lush field of verdant green, but rather an arid, bare landscape that stretched out before him. This place, as barren as it was, felt like a slice of paradise when contrasted with the dark nightscape of Hueco Mundo. The sole reason for that was the pseudo-sunlight cast over everything, a byproduct of a kidō spell.

Apacci threw her head back and let out a blood-curdling roar. It wasn’t a roar of triumph but one of frustration and rage.
Sung-Sun watched her companion with a soft sigh. Even as Baraggan's reign had been extinguished, the flame of Apacci's struggle for inner peace burned brightly. She had consumed both corpses and even gained a minor boost in strength, yet there was no Vasto Lorde evolution.
“Just why isn’t it happening?” Apacci whispered, staring blankly into the void. ...

Apacci groaned as another group of Gillians skittered away.

Yet, amid this writhing mass of potential prey, Apacci had not yet claimed a single Gillian as her meal.

The root of Baraggan's rage sprouted less from the ruin of his Zanpakutō and more from the perpetrator of the act. The Hollow he had dismissed and looked upon with scorn had turned the tables, making a mockery of him. His pride was wounded, and for this humiliation, he had to destroy Kazuya.
His provocation ability also fueled Baraggan’s flames of fury.
However furious Baraggan might be, he maintained enough self-control to cease his rampage before it could exhaust all his Reir...
