Chapter 6: Mini Timeskips Part 1 (Reupload)

Today was a sunday, meaning there was no school.

After waking up, Mizuiro made breakfast for him and Rukia (Who hadn't woken up yet). He had peeked into his mother's room, and as he expected, the two drunkards got busy last night so he had to spray the house to hide the stinky stench.

Rukia had come downstairs, similarly to last time, after Mizuiro had finished making breakfast for the both of them, "What about your mother?" She asked.

Mizuiro's face twitched slightly, which Rukia noticed so she attempted to change the subject, "On second thought nevermind! Do you know if-" She was gonna ask about Ichigo, as he still has to do his shinigami duties.

"No, I'll tell you" He put his knife and fork down and got serious, "Well, I'll tell you an easy and short version for now: My father left my mother after having sex with her and he was never to be seen again, not even when she gave birth to me.

As a result of me being born, my 'mother' decided to vent the anger she had about my 'father' even though I had nothing to do with it, all because I 'look like my father and remind her so much of him'. Blah blah blah, she now drinks pretty much everyday, sleeps with random, rich, old men and tries to hit me here and there. She's also not home most of the time which is why I was surprised when she was actually here for once"

"I..." Rukia was stunned and had her eyes wide in shock, "I'm sorry to hear that..." She looked at him with pity.

"Please, don't look at me like that..." He chuckled lightly, but Rukia knew it was a fake laugh as she heard his voice going hoarse, as if he was holding back years worth of tears, "Seriously... sometimes I wonder what would've happened if I lived in a normal, happy family..." He looked up at the white ceiling with a fake smile, a tear dropping from his left eye.

"Hm-?" Suddenly, Mizuiro felt a comfortable, warm feeling soothe him as he was enveloped in a hug. While his head was raised, Rukia took the chance to approach Mizuiro and wrap her arms around his head, bringing it down close to her chest as he rested there silently.

"..." The room was quiet, but Mizuiro and Rukia both liked that. A smile, a real one, was plastered on his face as he enjoyed the embrace in silence.

.

. (A/N: May be cringe, but I want an MC that actually has a story and emotions unlike some other FFs, so yeah. May also be fast, but I feel like Rukia being 150 years old, it makes some sense for her to do something like that)

.

A week had passed, with today being sunday, marking the 20th day of May.

Mizuiro was alone in his house as both his mother and Rukia were gone.

His mother was probably doing her usual whore activities he figured, whilst Rukia went to train Ichigo alongside watching him doing his new shinigami duties.

Nothing much had changed about himself overall, except for the usual stat points from the Daily Quests, making it 37 now.

However, he decided that he wanted to use the points he had now as a safety measure:

Strength: 36 -> 60

Agility: 27 -> 40

Obviously, since another week had passed, he ended up growing another inch, making his now 5'6 frame look even better.

Every time he had increased his strength stat, it would increase his muscle mass and as a result make his muscles stronger.

Because of this, he pretty much had the perfect muscles to exist for the human body.

For an actual explanation of his Stats, it worked like this:

- Strength: Increases physical strength, speed and durability by bettering the user's muscles.

- Agility: Increases the user's perception on time and thought speed, allowing them to see enemies on his level in slow-motion. 

- Vitality: Increases his health, resistance to status effects and longevity.

- Sense: Increases the 5 senses + His Spiritual Sense ability.

- Intelligence: Increases mana and regeneration of it, as well as the effectiveness of spells.

It was the end of the day, and Mizuiro was cleaning his house until 

*ring ring ring* *ring ring*

He saw it was Rukia that was calling him so he picked up the phone. Before he could greet her, she urgently demanded, "Come over to Ichigo's house as fast you can" And then ended the call.

With that he closed his flipphone and used his Dash skill to arrive at Ichigo's house in a matter of seconds 

He looked up at Ichigo's window and saw Rukia was there looking down at him, "Make sure you catch me!" She stepped out the window and then jumped, landing in Mizuiro's ready arms.

"Run to Inoue's house, she and Ichigo are in danger!" She ordered, to which Mizuiro nodded as he ran to the destination with Rukia in his arms.

.

.

.

"AHH!" Mizuiro and Rukia arrived to see Ichigo being tail-slammed into the concrete outside of Orihime's house. He then let her down from his arms.

Looking at the massive hole created on the side of Orihime's house, Mizuiro saw a hollow with 3/4 of it's mask as it appeared to talk to Orihime.

Meanwhile, Ichigo began to get up after being warned by Rukia that the hollow, Orihime's brother, would eat her soul if he didn't stop her now.

"Maybe I should help-" Mizuiro was ready to take out Kasaka's dagger until Rukia stopped him, "Wait!"

"What?" He raised an eyebrow, wondering why Rukia could possibly want to prevent Mizuiro from getting involved.

"If you get involved, just incapacitate it... Don't kill it" She firmly said, which didn't clear his confusion.

"How come?" Mizuiro asked

"Our job as a shinigami is to perform konso on hollows, as a result they get purified and sent to soul society, or go to hell. As you know. However, I don't know what would happen if a human like you were to kill it. After all, a shinigami's job is to also keep the world at balance by purifying the hollows. So, please, allow Ichigo to slay the hollow" Rukia pleaded, to which Mizuiro nodded understandably.

"That's fine by me" He smiled as he began to walk up to Orihime's house, stretching his neck and body in the process, "Huh...?" Suddenly, he realised it was too late as the hollow had sunk its teeth within Orihime's shoulders, who had her arms extended in a hugging gesture.

Orihime then spoke about how her life was like growing up in middle school and high school, meeting and making friends that she had fun with and hoped her brother would be happy about it.

She also proceeded to apologise about things such as being mad about her hairpin and calling it 'childish', and apologised for not praying to him after entering high school. Her body then fell forward as she became weak and tired.

"ORIHIME!!" Ichigo and Sora (Inoue's brother) shouted worriedly.

"Don't panic, she can be saved!" Rukia announced, "The 'chain of fate' hasn't been broken yet, I can save her with my demon arts!" She reassured, wiping away the worries of Ichigo and Sora.

Watching Rukia heal Orihime with a glad smile, Sora looked at Ichigo and requested, "Can I borrow that sword... please"

Oblivious to what Sora was aiming for, Ichigo held out hid zanpakuto as he innocently asked "Sure, whaddya need it for- Woah woah woah! What're you doing!?" 

Ichigo shouted in a panic as he saw Sora holding the zanpakuto firmly and bringing the tip of the blade to his neck.

"Ichigo, stop!" Rukia began to explain how this was actually a good thing, as it meant Sora would be washed away of his sins as a hollow, and he could enter the soul society.

Sora looked at Ichigo and Rukia, "Thank you..." He then looked at Orihime with a saddened expression

"Goodbye, Orihime... I love you" He smiled as he pierced his neck with the zanpakuto, ultimately killing him as he began to fade away.

"B-brother..." Orihime weakly spoke, "Goodbye... I love you too..."

Sora's eyes widened before they went back to normal, tears threatening to fall out of his eyes.

He smiled as he dispersed into the sky, thanking Orihime for her forgiveness even after what he had done as a hollow.

"*Sniff*..." 

"Huh?" Ichigo heard a sniffle as he looked to his right to see Mizuiro holding a box of tissues.

"That was so sad man... What a beautiful scene!" He cried as he blew his nose.

Ichigo kicked his back and sent him onto the floor with his ass up in the air comically.
