Walking the Fox

A girl who was much taller than him was sleeping next to him, her body curled up sideways to him, her hands tightly clutching the front of his clothes, like a small shrimp.The only dimly lit lamp in the room emitted a faint light, which faintly shone on the girl's face, and stretched out her hand to gently stroke her black and beautiful hair. The soft and smooth touch made him feel Feel both familiar and nostalgic.

The girl slightly opened her eyes and looked up at the silver-haired boy, blinked two or three times in a daze and then smiled at him.

"woke up?"

"No, I didn't sleep much at first, are you feeling better?" The hand holding the open placket of the silver-haired boy's clothes was loosened, and she stared at the white bandage exposed outside the open placket, the smile on her face faded. "Next time, don't get hurt again..." The bandage was just changed, and the wound that was still open before has slowly healed, thanks to the treatment of the captain of the [-]th division, Unohana Retsu.

"Well, I won't do it next time..." He had just had a strange dream, and he was still him in the dream, but some things happened that he had never experienced before. Those people were so strange, but... the dream Inside he seemed to be protecting someone, but obviously there was no one around him, why would he... Frowning slightly, he decided to put this strange dream behind him, since it was not an important matter anyway.

"Qianye, follow me from now on." He stared into the girl's eyes.

Dazed for a moment, the expression on the girl's face suddenly became serious. She took the silver-haired boy's hand and hugged it tightly to her chest. "Dongshiro, I... will drag you down..." She has no power at all except for her half-beast appearance and the tiny magical power that can support her from being crushed by the high-density spiritual pressure. Following the silver-haired boy will drag him down, it will definitely happen.

"I will protect you..."

One sentence, very short, but enough.

There were some tears in the bright black eyes, Qianye quietly held the silver-haired boy's hand. "En..." Nodding slowly, she moved closer and pressed her forehead against the other's. "Dongshiro, it's good to meet you... I really like Dongshiro the most."

Like, the liking hidden in her heart is full of pain, and she can't help but express this feeling at this moment.Without exception, she saw the surprised expression on the silver-haired boy's face, and she felt a sense of uneasiness in her heart. She didn't know what kind of relationship they would have after she said this feeling, whether it was embarrassment, ignorance, or embarrassment. ...It seems that no matter which possibility, she can't be happy.

Heart aching, she slowly sat up from the bed.

She needs to give the other party a time to digest this mood, and also needs to give herself a time to take a breath and accept the other party's answer.

"You, rest, I'll go for a walk." Gritting her teeth, with her back to the silver-haired boy, she got off the bed, ready to leave.

Before her feet touched the ground, someone behind her grabbed her shoulders.

"Qianye, where do you want to go? Do you want to run away without hearing my answer?" This was not what she expected. At this moment, her lips were trembling, and she could hear her throat trying to say something. Show it. "I... don't want to escape... just give us a little buffer time..."

"Me too..." A very small voice quietly echoed in the air.

"I like you too, Qianye." This time, the silver-haired boy said the words that had been entangled in his heart for a long time.He said such a simple sentence in a low voice, but he knew that the girl could hear it, because the room was so quiet that he could even hear each other's heartbeats

The hand on the lap was clenched tightly. After hearing this sentence, Qianye blinked a few times, shrinking back the tears flowing from Gu Qiao's eyes, and then slightly raised the corners of her mouth, and she smiled.

Turning around again, she looked at the slightly embarrassed face of the silver-haired boy, and laughed as if thinking of something.

"Dongshiro, you're so shy!" As he spoke, he climbed back onto the bed and faced the silver-haired boy sitting on the bed.

Grabbing the other's hand, she quietly pressed her lips on the back of the silver-haired boy's hand. The soft touch of her lips was directly conveyed from the skin to the depths of his soul. It was a strange feeling, but she didn't want to lose it. . "I will... guard you, always..." This is a promise, a promise that she will never break her promise.

"En..." For some reason, he just felt that what the girl said was not a lie, but that she couldn't really promise that she would protect him, just like he wanted to protect her heart.

"Qianye, I won't leave you..."

"I know." As she said that, she leaned her whole body towards him, pressed her face against the silver-haired boy's chest, and listened to the strong heartbeat in her chest through the white bandage. Smile.

"Toshiro... After this battle is over, please take time off..."

"what?"

"I always feel a little scared. You have been... fighting all the time, and there is no time to rest. Now... we are together. I am really afraid that the next moment... something unfortunate will happen to you... ’ She looked down, looking rather disturbed.

Stroking the girl's long hair, the silver-haired boy nodded.

"Okay, after this battle is over, I will ask the captain for a leave of absence and take you to meet my mother-in-law, and live outside for a while..." Even if he is a well-known workaholic, he can't bear it After days of non-stop fighting, he was really tired after the Winter Battle and Soujiro Kusakaguan incident.

Unexpectedly, Hitsugaya Toshiro would agree with her words, the girl was still very happy in her heart, she wrapped her arms around his body, she straightened up slightly, and buried her head in the socket of his shoulder. "Toshiro, what do you think about this incident? What exactly is that Zanpakuto called Muramasa going to do?"

"Hirinmaru said they would be summoned because... Muramasa hinted at them."

"Hint?" In the girl's memory, there was no Zanpakuto rebellion. It seems that many things have really changed.

"Well, it is preliminarily inferred that Muramasa's ability should be able to talk to all Zanpakuto and summon their bodies, and his words are a hint to Zanpakuto itself, making the dissatisfaction and shortcomings of Zanpakuto itself huge , thus making him an enemy of his own master." The silver-haired boy's expression would become particularly serious when he talked about serious matters.

After hearing his speculation, the girl's arms holding his body tightened suddenly.

hint?If the ability of suggestion is used properly, it will become the best weapon to protect others, and if it has ulterior motives, it will become the most terrifying force.

Once, the future is confused with the past.Now, everything is back to normal.The future trajectories of each world are moving forward according to new directions, and this world is also the same, so many things that she didn't know before appeared, but... the right track will not change, and those big events will not disappear, so... The existential danger remains unabated.

The tip of her nose was filled with the clear smell of the silver-haired boy. She hugged him and fell asleep leaning against him without knowing it.

The girl in his arms fell asleep, Hitsugaya Toshiro ran her hair and carefully placed her on the bed, he lay on his side next to her, quietly staring at her sleeping face.

Missing memories, missing blanks, tortured him every day, but whenever she appeared beside him, he felt that lack was filled.That blankness, that memory must have something to do with Qianye, sometimes even if the heart forgets, the body will still remember.

"How did I forget you?" he said, so softly that only he could hear him.

The door was pushed open, and when I looked up, I saw Hirinmaru standing outside the door, those beautiful blue eyes were looking at them all the time.

"Don't worry, she's fine." Although he didn't know why Hirinmaru was with Chiba at that time, he could feel that Hirinmaru didn't have any malice towards the girl at that time, on the contrary, he seemed to take good care of her .

"Is she yours?" His brows are always furrowed, which is very similar to that of a silver-haired boy.

"The person I like." He replied.

"She has a very strange power." Blue eyes stared at the sleeping girl.

"Well, I know." Yes, the silver-haired boy has always known that it is impossible for people without spiritual power and other special abilities to stay in the Jingling Court full of high-density spiritual pressure for a long time, but she has been...always Staying by his side, until now there has been no adverse health condition.

In the fox state, the strange powers in her body are not obvious.

But now, the power in her body became more and more obvious. It was a strange power different from spiritual power.

For him, it was a familiar force.

"You..." Hirinmaru seemed to want to say something, but there was no further words.

"I'm fine, don't worry." The silver-haired boy guessed what the other party wanted to ask, so he replied.

"En." After nodding, the two fell into silence again.

Both of them are not good at communicating. After the silence, neither of them knew what to say, so the room returned to deathly silence.

"Arnold." At this moment, a person appeared outside the door, and Hinata poked her head out from behind Hirinmaru.Her long hair was cut into short hair, and the girl who was still sluggish regained her previous vitality. When her eyes fell on the black-haired girl on the bed, a hint of cunning flashed in her bright black eyes. "Ale? It seems that I disturbed you, and Xiaobai has grown up too."

The meaningful words and meaningful eyes made the silver-haired boy's forehead pop with blue veins.

"Qi Sen." There was a trace of helplessness in the voice, he knew that Chu Sentao would feel crooked when he saw the current scene.

"Is she that little white fox? I knew it." Wrinkling her nose, Chisentao came in from the door, her voice was very soft, because she could see that the girl lying on the bed had fallen asleep .

Walking to the bed, looking at Chiba sleeping in the arms of the silver-haired boy, Chisentao covered her mouth and giggled.

"Hee hee, your relationship is really good."

"Qi Sen, why are you here so late?" Changing the subject, he didn't want to be asked by Chu Sentao on this topic.

The light in the room was very dim, so naturally the silver-haired boy's red ears protruding from his hair could not be seen.

"Of course, let's see how you are doing. I was a little worried when I heard Miss Luanju said that you were injured, but now it seems that you are doing well." As he spoke, he winked at the silver-haired boy ambiguously. "Xiaobai, take good care of your wounds, Seireitei needs you very much now. Ah, by the way, I will go to the nearby forest with Miss Rangiku and Hisagi-kun later, it seems that there is a Zanpakuto there trace."

After hearing her words, the silver-haired boy frowned and said, "Be careful."

"Got it." She has grown up, she is no longer the same Chisentao she used to be, and she will not let herself be weak. "Oh, I almost forgot, if our team leader appears here, please ask him to take someone to do business right away, don't take advantage of the busy moment to be lazy." As soon as she mentioned her current team leader, Chu Sentao got a headache, It's really... It's life-threatening, why is it unlucky for her to meet such a captain who likes to be lazy and is comparable to the captain of the eighth team-Jingle Chunshui!

"Captain Hirako again...?" The captain of the [-]th division, Mako Hirako, was in tears when he talked too much.

"Hmph." Curling her lips, Chisentao swore that if she saw Mako Hirako, she would tie him up.

Pressing the center of his brows, the silver-haired boy was a little weak.

Hirako Mako is indeed...how should I put it?Anyway, not the type he is good at dealing with.

"Huh, I got it. I'll tell you when I meet Captain Hirako. But, Chimori, you must be careful, you and Matsumoto must be careful." His expression was a little more serious than before.

"I know, I will be careful, Xiaobai can't underestimate me." Smiling, Chisentao turned around and walked out the door. When she was bypassing Hirinmaru, she specially instructed, saying: "Xiaobai, I'll leave it to you to protect, Hirinmaru."

The stern Zanpakuto didn't look back, but nodded, this was the answer.

Blinking, she smiled slightly, and walked out of the room in front of Hirinmaru.

The light in the corridor was very bright, and a lot of it leaked in from outside the door. Staring at Chu Sentao's leaving back, the corners of the silver-haired boy's straight mouth rose slightly.

She no longer needed his protection.

The once Hina Mori has become stronger than ever.

Now she is enough to stand alone.
