Playing with other Supernaturals

Chapter 282 Plans for the Future part 2

After hearing the origin of the Soul Society, Yoruichi frowned deeply, “I’m the master of Shihouin Clan… But I didn’t know any of this.”

Kisuke sighed, “Figures… It’s a very closely guarded secret of the Four Noble Household and you’re not a master of one for a very long time. I only discovered it due to my innate curiosity of things and didn’t take the existence of the Soul Society for granted. Aizen probably also discovered it that way.”

“So that’s why both Aizen and Yhwach wanted to destroy the three worlds. One is aiming for a utopia while the other wants to return things to its proper place… Why didn’t you tell me any of this?”

“No use talking about it. As it’s not a problem that could be solved and I don’t think things are that bad where death is inevitable.”

“I see… And you wanting to return now… You found a way to solve this?”

“No… I haven’t… But remember all the worlds including this we have been… For the last two, do they need a lynchpin to hold everything together?

“I know it’s an incredibly small sample of worlds but I couldn’t help but be hopeful. That may be… This is a natural thing… Even if things that the Soul King artificially established are fake, it just because he doesn’t have another way to do things. He probably traveled through multiple dimensions and seeing the state of our world, he sacrificed himself to establish the same laws as other worlds. Although that’s just my initial guesses. It could be a more complicated story or I’m completely wrong. Either way, I want the world where we came from not to be dependent on a single entity.” Kisuke didn’t notice it himself, but his eyes started gleaming in bright light.

Yoruichi smiled at the childish face he’s making and felt relieved, ‘Perhaps it’s our fortune getting wound up here.’ Chuckling to herself, Yoruichi commented, “You make it sound like it was just some troublesome errand, but you do know what kind of existence Soul King is, right? If he can’t do it without sacrificing himself, what makes you think that you can do it? Either way, I just happy that you found something that you really wanted to do.” Kisuke finding a goal aside from staying alive and discovering things are a big boon for him and Yoruichi who will accompany his journey, ‘It seems that the stagnant fire has been fed with fuel…’

“Why not? It’ll be boring if it’s an easy thing to do. Besides, I’m not doing it alone.”

“Right… I’m stuck with you so I need to walk by your side regardless of what you do.”

“There’s that but regarding that, I plan to get some help.”

“Heh… Someone out there capable of helping, aside from Ophis-chan and Great Red, nothing comes to my mind. Please enlighten me.”

“Hmm? Did you forgot about Aizen and Yhwach?”

“…Um… What?”

“Aren’t they the most reliable allies we could find?”

“…You’re crazy… But I can imagine you tricking them to work for you…”

“Hahaha~! What are you talking about? No way I could trick them. But I only have to establish a fair trade with them to get their help. They aren’t unreasonable enemies, after all. We’re just on the opposite side of ideals.”

“Well… You’re right. But as we are now, there’s no way we could convince them to anything. Even if you have a concrete plan, I doubt they will cooperate with you properly.”

“I know, and that’s why let me present to you our ultimate goal~! Aside from returning home, of course.”

“Hooh~… What is it?”

Kisuke put on a large grin and said, “We have to transcend.”

“Transcend?” Yoruichi asked curiously.

“Meaning, we have to reach the same level as Ophis, Great Red, Aizen, and Yhwach. A transcendent being.”

“Transcendent… How are you going to do it?”

“Probably similar to Aizen… A being which is neither a Hollow or a Shinigami, but beyond them.”

“Then I should do that too.”

“No! You’re not suitable for it. You have to find your own path. Although I did say that my path is similar to that of Aizen, I won’t and never would absorb Benihime to get her abilities as Aizen did to his zanpakuto. So in a hindsight, I take a completely different path from him, though, still with the help of Hougyoku.”

“Then what should I do? I don’t have a clue where I should go… Unlike you, I don’t have something like Hougyoku and I doubt you’ll make something similar for me…”

“I could probably guide your transcendence once I transcendent myself, but I don’t want to do that as much as possible.” Kisuke shook his head, but after he looked at the dejected Yoruichi again, he smiled, “Don’t go making that face now… You also have something that could help you.”

“Hmm? What? I have something like that?”

“Of course… Don’t you remember? Your zanpakuto didn’t come from you.”

“Are you trying to say that Byakko could help me? But I can’t even hear him most of the time and he never listened to anything I said… It’s already a miracle that I reached Bankai form with him…”

“If I were to guess again, Byakko is probably a transcendent spiritual being that descended into your Shihouin Clan from long ago. For how you should go about it, it’ll be up to you. I can only support you from the side.”

Yoruichi sighed yet again and smiled, “…No… I don’t need any support. I’ll do it myself. Just you pointing on the direction I should take is already a big help…”

“Hehehe… As expected of my girl~. Let’s eat everything first before we further discuss our future activities.” Kisuke patted Yoruichi’s head and ruffled it a bit while Yoruichi did nothing and only enjoyed his petting.

The two ate their dinner and continued discussing everything that they should do until late at night. In the middle of it, Kisuke suddenly stopped talking and looked at the room where the other girls are resting, “It seems that they’re awake.”

“Let’s go check on them first.” Yoruichi stood up and slowly walked towards the room, but before she reached it, she turned her head towards Kisuke, who’s following her steps, “And you should stop running away from them… Just embrace it.”

“I-I’m not running away anymore.”

“Heh… Is that so? They just throw away all your reservations. If you want my opinion, then you should start with either Sona-chan or Kuroka.”

“Ehem… Let’s just talk about this later.”

Yoruichi smiled at the awkward Kisuke and continued, “…Fine… But first things first… You’re not allowed to reduce the time you spend with me.”

Kisuke smiled and embraced Yoruichi from behind, “Of course that’s a given~. You’re my queen, after all.”

In turn, Yoruichi nodded in satisfaction, “Good, good.”

“You two… It’s fine to flirt, but if you’re going to check on us… Do that first.” Suddenly, from the door, Aika is peeking with jealous eyes.

With a straight face, Kisuke replied to her, “Flirting with my wife is always one of my top priorities.”
