Chapter 213: And the winner is…

(A/N Forgot to write it yesterday, but I watched the first episode of the new Bleach anime, and words could not describe how happy I was. I almost teared up, seeing these characters on the screen after 10 years, but finally, the wait is over as Bleach has returned, better than ever.)

(E/D: I have never watched Bleach so... I don't care.)

(Rin's pov)

I've never seen Ryoto so in a trance during a spar. It was like he became a machine with the only goal of defeating his opponent.

"Shouldn't we stop them?" I asked Yoruichi and Tessai.

I believe in Ryoto, but their spar becomes more and more fierce.

"Not yet."

That's the only thing Tessai said. He doesn't talk much, but I can believe in his decision. I can see that he is ready to step at any moment, and I'm no different. Yoruichi seemed more relaxed.

"Aren't you worried?"

"No, there isn't anything to worry about... for now. Ryoto looks like he is trying to push himself to his limits. He doesn't have this opportunity too often."

That's true. Ryoto doesn't spar with anyone too often, and even if he does, he doesn't use everything. I don't know if he is doing it now, but he uses it more than ever I have witnessed.

Suddenly I felt a big gathering of Reiatsu, and it was Ryoto and Urahara preparing these to fire off their attacks.

...It can't end well, and I rightfully panicked.

"Tessai!!!"

Tessai was already prepared and used a powerful Bakudo.

"Bakudo #75 Gokchutekkan!"

He clapped his hands together and slammed them on the ground summoning five tall, thick pillars from the sky to block their attacks. Typically it's used to immobilize the target, but it can be used like this, apparently. Not that I can use it at the moment, but Tessai wasn't finished, and to added another Kido.

"Bakudo #81 Danku!"

Two high-level Kido, one after another, but it wasn't enough to stop the attacks. At most, it weakened the blast of energy, but even that wasn't enough because as soon as both Getsuga Tenshou and Benihime's slash of energy went through both of the Kido and clashed with each other creating an explosion.

The three of us on the side were safe, but Ryoto and Kisuke were blasted away.

(A/N Before anyone says it, I'm aware that two blasts of equal power can cancel each other in the Bleach world, but this time they weren't equal in power, and there is also Vasto Lorde Ichigo, whose Cero exploded against Uluqiora, so I don't know and decided for it to explode this time unless it's calculated or in other words on purpose.)

Memories of the day Ryoto returned full of wounds resurfaced, making me freeze for a small moment, but I'm not weak like I used to be, and I can help now.

I shook off my deep fear and used Shunpo to get closer to Ryoto. Yoruichi did the same to check on Urahara.

Ryoto's chest was burned slightly, but he was mostly alright. He was even conscious.

"...Did... did I win?"

...I want to smack him, but I shouldn't hit him. I'll need to ask Captain Unohana to reprimand him. For some reason, he tries not to annoy her as much as others, so maybe he'll listen to her. Plus, for making me worry, he'll need to suffer a bit.

I thought jokingly.

"How is Urahara!!?" I asked Yoruichi, who was checking Urahara's condition.

"Not bad!! He must have blocked the blast with Kido or something!! Maybe this accident will fix his head, but I doubt it!! How's Ryoto!!?"

"He asked if he won, so fine... I think!!"

I did some first aid to both Ryoto and Urahara, but we still sent them to the 4th Division to heal them up.

(Ryoto's pov)

"So let me clarify this. You got these injuries in a spar?"

Unohana was 'kindly' smiling at me while asking this question.

I was sweating bullets because whenever she smiles like that, she is either slightly annoyed or trying to be intimidating. Sometimes both.

"It was... a very realistic spar?" I answered uncertainly. This comment, however, earned tightly-wrapped bandages on my body.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch! I give up, I give up!"

At this, Unohana sighed.

"*Sigh* Please refrain from doing idiotic things like that. Some patients are more in need of my attention which you take from them."

"So why are you here? You could send anyone else."

At this, she showed me an even 'kinder' smile and pushed her fingers against my forehead, which isn't threatening in itself but coming from her, it absolutely is.

"Because if something happened to you, Isane would be sad, and I won't allow for it to happen. Also, if that ever happens, even the Captain commander won't be able to protect you. Remember that."

I felt like I could see traces of her past self returning, but unlike before, I didn't feel scared. More like understanding.

She seemed like a mother worried about her daughter... A very murderous mother who could kill me if she wanted, but it is not like I couldn't understand her worry to some degree. Of note, for this quest, I would already be a father.

I still don't know if I would be a good one or even if I deserve to be one, but I would do everything for my children, and if anyone harmed them, then I wouldn't sit and do nothing. That's why I looked at her with my closed eyes and, with complete confidence and conviction, told her.

(E/D: "I wouldn't sit and do nothing" was written as "I would sit and do nothing". Yes I would do the same. I will walk with my child until he can walk on his own then I will do nothing. He is on his own and if he beats up a few guys or even better girls then, Attaboy!)

"I don't know if I'm not going to make Isane sad in the future. There may be situations that are out of my control. What I can promise, however, is that I'll do my best to make her happy and that I'll cherish her as long as I live."

Unohana didn't say anything and was staring at me.

Without saying a word, she retracted her finger away from my forehead and smiled. It was not her scary 'kind' smile but a genuine one.

Not wanting it to become awkward, I tried to change the subject.

"Before I forget, how do you know that what I did was stupid?" I, of course, had my suspicions, but I asked because it was better than her being silent.

"Kujo-san told me everything I needed to know. She also told me to reprimand you, but instead, you'll volunteer to help around the barracks here since you took some of my time, right?"

"In truth, I planned to..."

"Right?" She repeated herself, making her point more clearly.

Suddenly my plan changed.

(E/D: I am hating this arc. I don't want the baby. I want Lala's baby first. Also, harem is too big. Author. Control bhai control.)

(A/N Is this some kind of reverse psychology? Are you telling me to make the harem bigger and have more children? You got it!)
