[Death] Acacia inkstone

"Hua Yuan said," Dongshiro's eyes flickered, "You used to like Takikawa Aoba."

"Captain, you gossip like this." Sakurai Kaoru was surprised, but she nodded anyway: "Hua Yuan is right. But that was a long time ago."

She withdrew her hand, her eyes drifted up intentionally or unintentionally, she should be recalling: "I was still young at that time, and everyone around me was saying that Zhenyangling had produced another young genius."

"They said that the genius was Takikawa Aoba. I used to admire him, but..." Sakurai Kaoru made a helpless expression, and spread his hands at him: "I didn't meet him at school, In addition, he has disappeared into Liuhun Street since graduation, so this is how it went."

"Look, when I saw him again, I didn't recognize him." Sakurai Kaoru smiled: "I almost forgot about him."

"And he's such a cold personality, so boring—" She originally wanted to add that Takigawa Aoba was not her type at all, but a strange scene suddenly popped up in her mind: She was standing under the cherry blossom tree, not far away, a figure gradually approached among the flying thin cherry blossoms.

"You're here." The voice was cold and pleasant, and it entered her ears coolly. Accompanied by the breeze, it made her feel inexplicably moved.

Kaoru Sakurai was stunned for a moment, she has been experiencing various hallucinations recently, could it be because of lack of sleep?She quickly came back to her senses, her expression returned to normal, she changed the subject and said, "Captain, when I was still in Soul Soul Realm, I heard a lot of gossip saying that you like Huayuan."

Toshiro noticed the change in Kaoru Sakurai's expression just now, and frowned slightly.

On the other hand, Kaoru Sakurai continued to talk very enthusiastically: "Well, Hua Yuan is so beautiful, I heard that there are many suitors who can line up from the gate of the [-]th team to the spirit world. Captain, I think you still need to grow up ah--"

"Just let it go like this, and wait until the day you get the duck, oh no, the swan flies, it's not worth it." Kaoru Sakurai said while looking at Dongshiro with a smile, with a playful and rascal expression.

Dong Shilang suddenly felt a little helpless.She is still the same old, always like to make fun of him.It's just... She really thought, did he like Hua Yuan?She obviously saw all the good things he did to her, but she was so slow?

"Hey, Captain." Kaoru Sakurai tugged on Toshiro's sleeve: "You see Hua Yuan is not in good health recently, shouldn't you take care of her more and help her... Uh, share the work."

She showed a standard smile: "This way we can embrace the beauty as soon as possible—"

Before the words fell, Sakurai Kaoru felt himself being pulled forward suddenly.

The cheek touched the soft fabric, and a slightly cold breath came from the tip of the nose. Kaoru Sakurai raised his head in surprise: "Captain?"

His eyes are as deep as before, but today there is an inexplicable strange emotion.Sakurai Kaoru felt that in her memory, she had never seen the captain like this.

"Sakurai Kaoru," he looked at her lightly, and moved closer to her: "I don't like Huayuan Izumo."

"Ah...that's it." Kaoru Sakurai put his hand on Toshiro's shoulder, subconsciously pushed it, and wanted to take a step back.She felt that such a distance was embarrassing.

Feeling that she was pushing him away, Shiro Dong took a step closer, and he frowned.

The cherry blossoms all over the tree suddenly jumped into my mind again, the figure of that person was close at hand, and he pinned the broken hair behind her ear: "You are waiting for me here every day." The petals swirled and fell, and that person The thin lips parted slightly, and she couldn't see his expression: "I seem to be tempted by you."

These scenes were so real, she almost felt that they were her own memories.Sakurai Kaoru felt powerless, she let go of Dongshirō's sleeve and squatted down on the ground: "Captain... I'm tired."

"More than half a month ago, I remembered something." She rubbed her temples, her complexion was not very good: "I began to think that it was forgotten by me, it belonged to my memory."

She raised her head, eyes in a daze: "But I thought about it later, my memory is complete since I came to Corpse Soul Realm... What's more, I have never been to those places that I suddenly remembered. Pass."

"Captain, what do you think is wrong with me?" Her voice was muffled, and her eyes dimmed.

"Sakurai," he helped her up, looked at her watery eyes, and whispered firmly in her ear, "You're just too tired."

Sakurai Kaoru hummed, raised her head slightly to look at him, her eyes were a little blurred, she put her hand on his shoulder lightly again, with a sigh in her words: "Captain... I never remember that I have been to Ling Jie...do you...believe me?"

Toshiro had never seen Kaoru Sakurai show such an expression.He stretched out his slender fingers to wipe away a little tear from the corner of her eyes.He didn't want her to cry.

In my memory, she is always strong, always able to wear a faint smile and put on a casual look, but the things she does can always make him half dead.

He wanted to appease her emotions, but he didn't know how to do it.He has always been the high-ranking captain of the [-]th division Toshiro Hitsugaya, and most of the other people respect him because of the difference in status, so that he has no chance to really comfort a person.

In this situation, he was at a loss for a while.

Sakurai Kaoru's hands trembled slightly, but she actually didn't want to cry.She has lived in Jingling Court for so long, it's not that she has suffered a lot, but she gritted her teeth and persisted.But now she could hardly control her emotions, the tears slid down her cheeks one after another like a broken thread.

She thought she probably had endured for too long, and finally reached the limit.

Those days when she suddenly woke up in a cold sweat in the dark, those chaotic memories that disturbed her thoughts.Sakurai Kaoru felt that she could hardly bear any more of these pains.

His back suddenly touched the cold wall, and those beautiful pale green eyes suddenly came very close. Sakurai Kaoru saw his own shadow reflected in the green color, and his mind went blank with a "buzz".

She could feel a coldness on her lips.The hand around her waist tightened in an instant, he exhaled and sucked in warmth, and a faint blush appeared on his face, which disappeared in an instant.

He pried her lips open, wanting to feel her breath more.He couldn't tell exactly when he fell in love with Kaoru Sakurai, he only knew that his feelings for her had already been out of control.

He kissed her hard, but she only closed her eyes slightly, not resisting.

Captain is...kissing her?

This scene seems...deja vu?

A fire suddenly burst into the sky in my mind.Kaoru Sakurai suddenly remembered that when he came to rescue her in the wine cellar that day, they embraced and kissed like this.

It turned out that the captain...had her in his heart.

She thought of the days and nights they used to spend together.She often deserted the captain's class, but he came to see her on the day of her final exam; later she joined the tenth team, and she was lazy again and again during team training, but he didn't punish her hard after all. She; and later, she offered to go to the secular garrison. Although he didn't say anything, he appeared at the moment when her life was at stake...

Maybe she really loved someone else, but so what?

She rummaged through every corner of the corridor of the Great Spirit Book, trying hard to find out the truth of the dream that trapped her day and night, but forgot the true meaning of life.

How could she lose her present and future for a possible past?

She closed her eyes completely and stood on tiptoe to answer his kiss.

She no longer wants to know those things.

<<

"Captain, when this case is over, let's go back to Soul Realm." Kaoru Sakurai wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, took back the hand on Dongshiro's shoulder, and at the same time took half a step back.

The current relationship between her and the captain can be said to be very delicate: obviously no one confessed, but they were already kissing just now.

But Sakurai Kaoru felt that the captain should know what she wanted from this kiss alone.

Dong Shilang's cheeks were slightly flushed, but his expression was still the same as before.He nodded to her, but his eyes darkened.

Kaoru Sakurai knew that he was still troubled by the serial murder case on Datura Island, so he smiled and tried to comfort him: "Captain, no matter how perfect a crime is, it's all secret."

"The murderer, we will catch him."

"Sakurai," Toshiro shook his head, with helplessness in his tone: "Things are far more complicated than you imagined."

"Takigawa has already told you that we guess that these people in the criminal investigation team are the remnants of Aizen. And these people are related to several extermination cases in the soul world, and the cause of death of the victims in these cases is that we have not been able to found it."

"Our only clue is the red spots on the corpse, but we have no way of verifying whether this is really one of the many ancient secret arts in the spirit world as Takikawa said." Dongshiro paused suddenly when he said this, As if remembering something, he looked at Kaoru Sakurai thoughtfully: "Just now...why did you say...you have never been to the spirit world?"

"I often had some strange hallucinations a while ago," Sakurai Kaoru shrugged. "At first I didn't pay much attention, thinking it was just because I didn't have a good rest. But after a few days, I still have hallucinations. And , Those scenes really made me feel... too real."

"Those hallucinations tell me," she took a deep breath, "I was once in a prison in the spirit world."

"Sakurai," Dongshiro's expression became solemn in an instant: "If people from the soul world are imprisoned in the prison of the spirit world, they will definitely be recorded. If you enter there, Jing Ling The court must know."

"Unless, you weren't called Sakurai Kaoru before."

"How is this possible?" Sakurai Kaoru felt unbelievable: "I have never changed my name since I can remember."

"You should be able to look up the corresponding records in the corridor of the Great Spirit Book." Dong Shilang didn't have any special expression, but said indifferently: "The Miemen case has not been closed yet, and your restricted area permit has not been taken back."

"The captain wants me to go back to Soul Society? But the case here hasn't been settled yet?" Kaoru Sakurai was a little puzzled.

"I don't think it will take much time for you. There are not many people left on the island. If there is one less person, you can handle it." Dong Shilang's eyes darkened slightly.Calling her back at this time is partly out of wanting to find out the truth of the hallucination, and partly for her safety.He remembered that old man named Kazuki Ikeda not long ago advised him to stay away from Kaoru Sakurai, and he remembered that he said firmly: She is destined not to leave this island alive.

It would be safer to let Sakurai Kaoru stay in Soul Soul Realm, even if only for a day.

He didn't want to put her in danger.
