Chapter 77 Wood clone

Ichigo didn't know why Kisuke looked at him like that. He looked at him like he had stolen something very precious from him.

He couldn't help but ask him why.

"Um, Did I do something wrong?"

Ichigo asked Kisuke directly, to which he nodded with seriousness.

"My daughter chose you as her host... You damn right, I am pissed!"

"Y-Your daughter?"

"He meant the Hogyoku."

Yoruichi said it with a sigh. She knew why he would be pissed. He saw everything that he had created, like his daughter. And Hogyoku was like his favorite one. 

"Oh…"

That was the only reaction he would get from Ichigo.

Kisuke looked at Ichigo for a minute, then he shook his head.

"I want my Hogyoku back because I want to test her on Arancar, but It doesn't matter anymore when the perfect Arancar is standing in front of me."

Kisuke's face became cruel. Ichigo could feel that the man had changed. His presence shifted from normal to insanity in the blink of an eye.

Yoruichi, when she saw his condition, blasted him with her powerful slap, sending him toward the wall next to him. Her eyes became feral.

"I told you many times already, Kisuke. You can't think of someone like they were just some lab rats for you."

Kisuke pushed himself out of the wall, then dusted himself and acted like nothing happened. This shouldn't be the first time that he had been hit like that.

He looked at Yoruichi and said to her,

"Sorry, I didn't mean to say it like that."

Yoruichi then came back to normal. She shook her head and sighed again. He needed to be beaten so he would not lose himself.

Kisuke coughed a little in his hand.

"Okay, Let's phrase it again differently. With you here as proof that Hollow could exist with Shinigami, it is enough for me to make huge progress in my research. Sadly, my daughter dumped me and chose you instead."

Kisuke sighed with endless grief. He had to take a bit of time before he could spring back to being himself again.

"Let me check your body a little bit. I promised I wouldn't do something bad."

Ichigo heard him but didn't answer him immediately. He looked at Yoruichi, and she nodded.

"He would just check your body a little and won't do anything he shouldn't do.."

Ichigo got the answer from her, then replied to Kisuke.

"Okay."

Kisuke then asked him for some blood samples. And he gave it to him.

Kisuke got his sample, then went back to work with his computer again. This time, he laughed to himself like a creepy scientist.

Ichigo looked at Yoruichi as if to ask, "Is it really okay to just let him be like that?"

"Don't worry, Ichigo. He always acted like that. And you should not be like him in the future. Okay."

Ichigo nodded. He agreed with her. He would never become a mad scientist like him.

Yoruicho looked at the clock, They should have some time to make a tour around the hideout before morning comes. 

After the tour, Ichigo felt very good. He gained so much new knowledge just by interacting with things inside the hideout. He could use that knowledge to his liking.

"Kisuke basically gave you the Hogyoku. No, He can't get it back, even if he wanted to. And now you should go back home. As for your blood result, I would give it to you in a few days."

…

Ichigo got so many benefits from touring around the hideout. Now he had come home because Yoruichi had something to do.

The sun was rising from the horizon, and the whole town awoke from its slumber.

Inside his house. 

Orihime was waiting for him to come back and eat breakfast with her. She had cooked vanilla ice cream with beef curry for breakfast. She had also made a portion for him.

She was now happily watching Cartoon Network. But when she saw that he had come back home, She then stood up and greeted him happily.

"You're back, Ichigo-kun! Please eat this. I have made it for you!"

Orihime hurriedly set up a breakfast for him.

Ichigo smiled at her and accepted her breakfast. Compare it with the food she cooked in the past. He could tell that it would be much more humane. 

He calculated the danger and felt that, with his iron stomach, there shouldn't be a problem eating it.

"Thank you, Orihime."

Somehow, they were like those newlyweds. Orihime, even though she was an airhead girl. She still knew something like that. She felt a butterfly fly in her stomach, and her breakfast became much more delicious than before.

…

They went to school together after breakfast. Orihime felt very happy right now, but she didn't know that the one who would go to school with her wasn't original Ichigo but his clone.

Ichigo didn't want to go to school today because he had something more important to do, so he sent his wood clone with Orihime instead.

With the knowledge he got from Rukia's Gigai, he could then create something like that. Not only that. His wood clone would transmit his experience to him directly.

Ichigo then went to Kuoh town. He heard from Yoruichi that there were many hidden fallen angels and exiled exorcists there.

He had become the Kuoh town guardian last night, so he wouldn't let them go.

'I hope that the fallen angel that the perverted friend of mine caught wasn't related to them. Otherwise, I might have to do what I must.'

Ichigo hoped that Issei wouldn't be involved in the supernatural world that he already was. He might be a high class Onmyoji, but it wasn't enough in the big league.
