Chapter 192 Return to Soul Society

Today was the day that the first batch that went to Hueco Mundo would return to Soul Society.

Soifon had come to the barrack and waited for Ichigo to return.

She didn't care if anyone looked at her with an obvious smile.

Everyone knew that her relation with Ichigo wasn't really that of kohai and senpai anymore.

They were much more than that.

She was annoyed that the elders from the Kuchiki clan visited her after knowing her relationship with him and they demanded that their family young miss was to be Ichigo's first wife.

She didn't care about the position in the family at all.

But to walk in front of her and make a demand like that. Why should she accept it?

So she made sure that they remembered who she was. Thus the elders knew not to annoy her lest they would be stung and Kuchiki Byakuya wouldn't even lift a finger to help them.

To be honest he was also annoyed by them so she got permission to do whatever she liked with them.

The Onmitsukido were afraid of her for a reason.

Soifon looked at the gate to Hueco Mundo. It was opened but no one passed through the gate yet.

She really missed Ichigo very much and want him to come back quickly.

"Has he come back yet?"

While she was waiting. She heard someone speak to her through a strange device.

"Not yet. But I think he will come soon. The gate connecting to Hueco Mundo is open. They didn't want to open it for long so I should at most take a few minutes for him to return."

"Is that so? That's very good then."

"How is it on your side? Did that fire chicken already come?"

"Nope, But he will come around noon. Grayfia would notify me ten minutes before he would come."

The one who spoke with Soifon was Rias. She also missed Ichigo very much.

And today was the day that the fire chicken wanted to come and check on her.

She couldn't do anything as that fire chicken got permission from Sirzechs and Zeoticus.

He came to mess with her.

"Don't worry, Ichigo already knew about that and he would deal with that chicken."

Soifon knew that Ichigo could deal with the fire chicken easily. No he could even deal with Sirzechs, One of the maou if he wanted to.

They talked to each other until Soifon saw that someone had stepped outside the gate.

It was the first batch that went inside Hueco Mundo.

She waited for a little while but she didn't see him. She saw Miyako and Rangiku with a foreigner.

She was curious about the foreigner but she wanted to see Ichigo more.

"Where is he?"

Soifon felt worried.

But she calmed down when she knew that nothing could happen to him as he was very strong.

She wanted to go to Miyako to ask where Ichigo was.

But before she could go to her. She was hugged from behind.

She almost turned back and punched the ambusher but she felt a familiar feeling coming from the one who hugged her.

"You have become much stronger. I can't even feel you until you ambush me."

Soifon said with a happy smile. The rare smile that no one had ever seen.

Ichigo looked at how cute Soifon was and couldn't help but kiss her on her lips.

Soifon was startled for a bit but then she returned the kiss. It wasn't a fiery one but it was enough to melt her.

"Not only strength but also technique I see."

Soifon wanted to ask where he learned how to kiss like that but when she saw Ichigo's expression.

She fell for him again!

"Y–You, How can you make such an expression…"

The expression of longing was too much for her to handle. Ichigo never showed her that kind of face before.

And it made her heart beat very fast.

Faster than even when she used Shuko.

"I got them back my emotions. I know how to love you more than before Soifon."

Ichigo nibbed her earlobe. It made her shake to her core.

"I–Ichigo…"

Soifon knew about it from the clones but she didn't think it would be this much.

Ichigo hit her with so much emotion. So much love.

She wasn't dreaming was she?"

Everyone was now looking at Ichigo. They couldn't help but admire him for making Soifon in to a mess.

Ichigo didn't want anyone to see her like that anymore so he led her to somewhere else.

Somewhere they could be alone and do something that the lovers who separate from each other for three years do.

Ichigo regained his emotion and now it was very hard to control.

"Ara, Ara, Looks like we are forgotten."

Miyako spoke to Rangiku who was very jealous of Soifon.

'It should be me!'

She sighed and let it be for now.

"I will go and inform my captain of my return. See you at the association Mayuki-san."

Rangiku went toward her barrack to inform her captain of her return.

Mayuki shook her head. She also had to go and inform her captain.

No captain would come to welcome them back as it would be seen as favoritism.

Soifon was an exception as she just came to welcome her soon to be husband back.

"Please come with me for now. Ichigo will come to pick you up later."

Annie felt lost. She became closer to Ichigo after three years had passed but she didn't seem to become more than just a friend to him.

Even though it was enough to make him want to help her, it wasn't enough for him to come with her.

'I must do something. I need to make him want to come with me but am I even worth enough for him to leave everyone behind?'

Annie shook her head. She, indeed, wasn't worth enough. But at least she had become much stronger in the past three years.

And she knew that the flow of time was different from each world.

She hoped that her world and this world's time would be different.

She hoped that her world would be slower than this world. If not then she couldn't do anything.
