Reincarnated As Shiba Clan’s Heir! (Bleach-Gin)

Ch116- Coming With



“You have seen another vision, haven't you?” Kukaku asked, her voice gentle yet probing as she delicately cleaned his ears. Her fingers worked meticulously, showing her concern and care for him.

Kazuki looked up at her, the truth undeniable in her insightful gaze. “You can always read me,” he admitted with a small smile, his eyes reflecting his trust and fondness for her. “Yes, I’ve had another vision. There’s something more to this story, something untold.”

Kukaku paused in her task, her gaze fixed on him. “Tell me,” she urged softly, encouraging him to share his thoughts and feelings.

He took a deep breath, gathering his thoughts. “It’s like there’s a missing piece, something crucial that’s been overlooked. The way everything happened, it’s too... neat, too convenient. I can’t shake the feeling that we’re being manipulated, that someone is pulling the strings behind the scenes.”

Kukaku nodded thoughtfully, resuming her task as she processed his words. “It wouldn’t be the first time,” she remarked, her voice laced with a hint of bitterness. “The politics within the Gotei 13... they’ve always been a tangled web of alliances and power plays.”

“Exactly,” Kazuki agreed, feeling a sense of validation from her understanding. “And I can’t help but feel that this is all connected to my visions, to the things I’ve seen. I just... I need to figure out how.”

“You will,” Kukaku stated confidently, her hand pausing as she looked down at him. “You’ve always had a knack for seeing through the bullshit and getting to the heart of the matter.”

Kazuki couldn’t help but chuckle at her choice of words, feeling a surge of gratitude for her unwavering support. “I’m glad you think so,” he replied sincerely, his heart swelling with affection for her.

Kukaku smiled softly, her fingers resuming their gentle motions as she finished cleaning his ears. “I know so,” she corrected him, her tone leaving no room for argument.

Once she was done, she helped him sit up, her movements gentle and caring. “Now, let’s eat. You must be starving after everything.”

The food on the table looked even more inviting now, and Kazuki realized just how hungry he was. As they began to eat, the conversation flowed easily between them, a testament to their close relationship and deep connection.

Kukaku shared stories from her day, her laughter infectious as she regaled him with tales of her latest exploits. Kazuki listened attentively, his heart lightening with every word, every chuckle. It was moments like these that he cherished the most, the simple, quiet times where they could just be together.

As the meal came to an end, Kazuki felt a profound sense of contentment, grateful for Kukaku’s presence in his life. She had a way of grounding him, of helping him find his center amidst the chaos of his existence.

“Thank you, Kukaku,” he said sincerely, his eyes meeting hers. “For everything.”

Kukaku smiled, her eyes softening as she reached out to squeeze his hand. “Always, Kazuki. You know I’m always here for you.”

He nodded, feeling a surge of emotion at her words. She was his anchor, his safe harbor in the storm, and he couldn’t imagine his life without her.

She then asked, “You are going to investigate this, right?” To this, Kazuki nodded. He had to. Not for a sense of justice, but for his own peace of mind. He had to validate these feelings brewing inside of him.

Kukaku then said, “I am coming with."

Kazuki was about to reject, when she snatched his lips, kissing him fervently, "I am coming with.” The urgency in her tone and the passion in her kiss left no room for argument.

Kazuki could only nod, as he melted into her kiss, feeling the intensity of her emotions. She pulled away, her gaze filled with determination.

“You need me,” she stated simply, her hand gently cupping his face.

Kazuki sighed, knowing better than to argue with her when she had made up her mind. “I do,” he admitted, the truth in his words undeniable.

Kukaku’s smile was soft, yet filled with a strength that Kazuki had always admired. “Then it’s settled. We’ll figure this out together.”

He couldn’t help but feel a surge of gratitude at her words. Kukaku was his rock, always there when he needed her, steadfast and unwavering.

“As long as you promise to be careful,” he added, his concern for her safety paramount.

“I always am,” she reassured him, her smile turning teasing. “Besides, you’re not the only one who knows how to handle themselves in a fight.”

Kazuki chuckled, knowing full well just how capable she was. “I know, I know. Just… be careful, okay?”

“I will,” she promised, her tone earnest.

She purred, "Now, come here and give me some sugar. I missed you." Her voice was soft and inviting, pulling him towards her like a siren’s call.

Kazuki didn’t need to be told twice. He leaned in, capturing her lips with his, feeling the warmth and sweetness of her mouth against his. Her lips were soft and tasted faintly of the dinner they had just shared, and Kazuki found himself lost in the kiss, the rest of the world fading away.

Kukaku’s hands found their way into his hair, tangling in the silver strands as she deepened the kiss, her passion evident. Kazuki responded in kind, his hands settling on her waist, pulling her closer. There was an urgency in their movements, a need to reaffirm their connection, to lose themselves in each other.

After a long moment, they pulled away, breathless but content. Kukaku’s eyes were sparkling, and Kazuki could feel the love and desire emanating from her.

“I missed you too,” he murmured, his voice low and filled with emotion.

Kukaku smiled, her fingers tracing patterns on his chest through his clothes. “Good,” she whispered, her voice playful.

The night passed quickly, and before they knew it, it was time to leave. They donned dark cloaks and hoods, concealing their identities as they left the Shiba Clan residence under the cover of darkness.

The air was cool and crisp, the night silent except for the soft rustling of leaves in the breeze. Kazuki and Kukaku moved swiftly and silently, their movements practiced and efficient.

As they made their way through the quiet streets of Seireitei, Kazuki couldn’t help but feel a sense of anticipation, a thrill at the prospect of uncovering the truth, no matter how dangerous it might be. He could feel Kukaku’s presence beside him, steady and reassuring, and he knew they were ready for whatever lay ahead.

They navigated the winding streets with ease, their knowledge of Seireitei’s layout serving them well. As they neared their destination, they slowed, becoming even more cautious. They were in unknown territory now, and they couldn’t afford to let their guard down.

Kukaku’s hand found Kazuki’s in the dark, her grip firm and comforting. He squeezed her hand in return, a silent promise that he was there, that they were in this together.
