Breeze and elegant

The curtained door leads into the dark corridor.

Tezuka Kunimitsu did not expect that there would be such a long corridor in this seemingly small pet shop, and as they went deeper, the sweet smell became more intense.

Earl D stopped in front of a wooden sliding door, stretched out his hand to open the door, and light radiated from the crack of the door following his movements.

"Please."

Tezuka Kunimitsu walked in with his movements, and in front of him was a large Japanese-style garden, where several blooming cherry trees were planted, and the pink petals danced with the wind.

A girl in a kimono was sitting on the wooden corridor. She seemed to hear the voice and looked towards them. Her pretty face smiled gently when she saw the person coming.

"Guoguang."

The familiar faces, familiar smiles, and familiar voices all reminded Kunimitsu Tezuka that the girl sitting on the wooden corridor was Kiyoya Kuchiki who should have stayed in the living room of the pet shop, but he felt There is a slight violation.

That's not Qingya—a voice in his heart reminded him.

She is not Qingya - he said to himself in his heart.

If it wasn't Kuchiki Qingya, who was it?Tezuka Kunimitsu stared at the person sitting on the corridor smiling at him, a name gradually emerged from the depths of his mind.

"Ah Tian!"

With his voice, the surrounding scenery suddenly twisted like a vortex, as if countless colors were put into the palette to reconcile and reorganize.In the end, the Japanese-style garden slowly disappeared, and what Tezuka Kunimitsu saw was a room about the size of his own two bedrooms.

A boy with a fluffy tail was lazily sitting on the soft couch, with two fluffy ears standing between the silver hair, he was the A-Tian who he had seen once before.

"It's not easy, you can guess it's me. Then," A Tian's lips curled up into a wicked smile, and his eyes narrowed, "How did you guess it, Tezuka Kunimitsu?"

Tezuka Kunimitsu did not answer, but stepped forward and reached out to grab A-Tian by the back collar, picked him up, and walked out.

"Hey, what are you doing, let me go!"

Because of Tezuka Kunimitsu's actions, Ah Tian, ​​who turned back into a fox body, felt embarrassed, and bared his teeth at Tezuka Kunimitsu from embarrassment.Tezuka Kunimitsu pretended not to see it, and carried him towards Earl D who was standing at the door.

Well concealing his surprise because Tezuka Kunimitsu saw through A-Tian's illusion, Earl D smiled and asked, "Is Mr. Tezuka still satisfied with this pet?"

"what!"

"Then, let's go back, I think Miss Qing Ya should wait too soon."

"what!"

Looking at A-Tian who was baring his teeth and waving his claws at Tezuka Kunimitsu, Earl D suddenly felt that such an arrangement seemed good, at least A-Tian didn't hate this cold-looking boy.

The two returned to the living room together along the long corridor. Kuchiki Qingya stood up after seeing the two, and said with a smile, "Have you found it yet?"

"what."

Tezuka Kunimitsu raised the hand holding A-Tian, ​​and seeing Kuchiki Kiyoya calm down, he twisted his body and broke free from Tezuka Kunimitsu's grip, jumped onto his shoulder and sat down, turning his head to the side, Don't look at the gentle girl smiling across the way.

Kuchiki Kiyoya walked up to Tezuka Kunimitsu, stretched out his hand to pat A-Tian on the head but he dodged it, he could only helplessly smiled and lowered his hand, facing Count D, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry to trouble Count today, I've already ordered the cake Well, it will be delivered tomorrow morning."

"Then thank you, Miss Kuchiki." Hearing the cake, Earl D's alienated smile brightened instantly.

"Then, let's take our leave." Walking out of the pet shop together, Kuchiki Qingya turned and bid farewell to Earl D who sent him out.

"Miss Qingya is always welcome in our store."

"If there is a chance."

Leaving a plausible answer, Kuchiki Seiya and Tezuka Kunimitsu took Aten and turned to leave.Looking at the figure that was gradually going away, Earl D felt a little melancholy.

That girl will probably never be seen again.

Back in Tokyo, the sky had already darkened, and the two had dinner outside together.Since the store they chose was not far from home, the two chose to walk back after dinner, A Tianwo yawned in Tezuka Kunimitsu's arms.

"Guoguang, when are you staying together?"

"Tomorrow will pass."

"Tomorrow." Kuchiki Qingya looked up at the starry night sky, turned her head to look at the people walking beside her for a long time, and said with a smile: "I probably don't have time to see you off, Guoguang should take good care of himself."

"Yes, I will."

After the short conversation ended, both of them fell silent again, and this silence lasted until they reached Kuchiki's house.

"I'm here. Guoguang should go back and rest quickly. I'm quite tired today."

"En." Responding softly, Tezuka Kunimitsu handed over A-Tian in his arms.

Kuchiki Qingya shook her head with a smile, and said, "Ah Tian is your pet now, please take good care of him in the future."

Looking down at A Tian who didn't intend to open his eyes at all, Tezuka Kunimitsu looked at the person standing opposite, "Why?"

"Why?" Kuchiki Qingya tilted her head with a troubled expression, and then smiled suddenly, "Because I think Guoguang and Ah Tian get along very well, and Guoguang is better at taking care of Ah Tian than I am."

For Tezuka Kunimitsu, this reason was not acceptable to him, so he stood there silently looking at the smiling person opposite, waiting for her explanation.

"Well, Guoguang must take good care of himself and Ah Tian in the future, and don't forget what you promised me, don't make fun of your body anymore." Kuchiki Qingya tilted her head and smiled, "I'm going back, goodbye Guoguang!"

With a "click", the door closed, also blocking the figure of that person from Tezuka Kunimitsu's sight.

Tezuka Kunimitsu had an inexplicable feeling that this was the last time he saw Kuchiki Kiyoya, and he soon felt amused by his own feeling.Touching the soft fur in his arms, Tezuka Kunimitsu carried him to his home.

"Hey, don't you think Qingya is weird today?"

Even though it was the same as usual, Ah Tian still noticed the strangeness of Kuchiki Qingya, and there was something wrong, but he couldn't tell.

"It'll be all right."

Tezuka Kunimitsu touched A-Tian's head, which made A-Tian startled.

Is this consolation?Is it comfort? !

"By the way, you haven't answered me how did you recognize me?"

"I once saw you turned into a human, in the villa in Karakura Town."

"Is it the time when Qingya was trapped by Liu Yao?"

Ah Tian remembered that he seemed to be transformed into a human body that time, no!Ah Tian remembered his own question and still didn't get an answer, "I mean, how did you guess that Qingya was changed by me?"

"No matter how big that store is, it shouldn't have such a big garden."

"That can't make you guess that it's me, bastard!"

Neither the noisy A-Tian nor Tezuka Kunimitsu who answered him calmly did not notice that the lights behind the mansion where the master had returned home were still not on.

Kiyomasa.055 left

"Guoguang, goodbye."

Maybe, we'll never see each other again.

Leaning against the door, Kuchiki Qingya suddenly felt sad when she heard the distant footsteps and Ah Tian's noise.It's like suddenly losing something very important, and I feel so sad that I want to cry but I can't.

Until the noise and footsteps could no longer be heard, Kuchiki Qingya walked into the house, but did not turn on the light, just walked into the living room in the dark and sat on the sofa.

The moonlight outside shines in through the window, bringing a bit of brightness.

"Ah, Qing Ya's expression looks very sad."

"silver?"

Kuchiki Kiyoya raised her head and looked in the direction of the voice, her casual and smiling tone was so familiar that she could say the other person's name as long as she heard it.

Sure enough, the person standing in the darkness slowly came out and stood under the moonlight.The silver haired, narrow-eyed fox smile is wearing a different outfit from last time.

"Why are you here?"

"Why?" To Kuchiki Kiyoya's question, Ichimaru Gin showed a surprised expression, "Of course I came to pick up my fiancée home, this is the task assigned to me by Captain Aizen."

"It turns out that Yin didn't come to pick me up voluntarily." Kuchiki Qingya tilted her head and chuckled.

"Of course it's voluntary." Ichimaru Gin walked slowly in front of Kuchiki Kiyoya, bent down with his right hand on Kuchiki Kiyoya's head, "If you don't want to smile, you don't have to smile, otherwise you will become ugly."

The smile on Kuchiki Qingya's face froze, and slowly turned into a self-deprecating smile, "But there is no way, because it has become a mask and cannot be taken off, just like the smile on your face."

"Ah, Kiyoya is really too much." Ichimaru Gin raised his right hand that was pressing on the top of Kuchiki Kiyoya's head and rubbed his head with a headache, "He worked so hard to pick you up, but you treat him like this. Then," put it down His hand, the fox-like squinting smile appeared on his face again, "What is Qingya's answer?"

Asking without any warning, Kuchiki Qingya looked up at him slightly, and smiled softly: "Hasn't Captain Aizen already given the answer? Otherwise, I wouldn't have sent you to pick me up."

That guy Aizen obviously didn't give her a choice.

Standing up with a chuckle, Kuchiki Seiya ignored Ichimaru Gin who was still standing there, did not turn on the light, and went upstairs in the dark to return to her room.

Take off the hanging picture on the wall, take out the long box from the dark compartment, and then take out the cherry blossoms from inside.Put the box back to its original place, hang up the picture, Kuchiki Qingya turned his back to the door, and looked at the room where he lived in for several years by the moonlight.

After all, I still have to leave, this place that I once considered my home.

Standing at the door with his back to Kuchiki Kiyoya, Ichimaru Gin asked with a smile:
