[Death] Acacia inkstone

Dongshiro sat cross-legged on the ground with his back against the wall.He closed his eyes, his arms moved slightly, and the cold temperature came from his fingertips.

On his lap was Sakurai Kaoru's Zanpakuto, and the uneven touch in his hand told him that the scabbard of this knife was engraved with delicate and complicated patterns.He touched it carefully again, and the pattern seemed to be...a lily?

It turned out to be the lily flower, the team emblem of the [-]th squad.

Dongshiro slowly opened his eyes.

The scabbard is different from the knife body. The shape of the knife body is largely generated naturally by the user's personality and spiritual influence, while the scabbard is purely artificial.In other words, one person cannot decide the shape of Zanpakuto, but the scabbard can be made according to personal preference.

Toshiro thought, if they can escape, he must ask Kaoru Sakurai, why are lilies carved on the scabbard?

He slowly drew the knife out of its sheath—the blade of this knife was thinner and sharper than his Hirinwan, and a little bit of cold light reflected in his eyes, exuding a faint chill.

It is metallic.

Native gold.

All things and phenomena that have the properties or functions of sinking, killing, and restraining belong to gold.

What Sakurai Kaoru said to him was right, her metallic Zanpakutō did bring them a chance of survival.

only……

Pulling out the slender blade completely, Toshiro leaned the scabbard aside, glanced at Kaoru Sakurai who was unconscious beside him, and stood up.

Just very easy to break.He clenched the handle of the knife tightly, a moment of hesitation flashed in his heart.If the blade is too thin and too sharp, it cannot withstand excessive force.This is very suitable for Kaoru Sakurai who lacks spiritual pressure and strength, but if he uses it... it will be difficult to control the strength.

Taking a deep breath, what Sakurai Kaoru said to him before he fell into a coma flashed through his mind. Toshiro raised Zanpakuto, closed his eyes and focused on gathering the spiritual pressure on his body, and said in a low voice:

"Excuse me, ask for love."

The Zanpakuto suddenly burst into a scorching golden light, and the plum tree that had been rising from the ground suddenly trembled, spinning down a few leaves.

At the same time, the golden light flickered and seemed to dim a bit.

Reiatsu was continuously poured into Zanpakutō through his body, Toshiro tried his best to maintain a high concentration of spirit, and a few overflowing reiki lingered around him, making the surrounding air glow with a very light golden color.

A piece of the boulder that was pressing on my heart was removed.Dong Shilang breathed a sigh of relief, at least he succeeded in solving it initially.

Kaoru Sakurai possessed a Zanpakutō when he was Chine Kahara.At that time, her spiritual pressure was much higher than now, and Zanpakutō was naturally much easier to use. If she could practice for a few more decades, she might be able to unravel it.It's just that she went to the Xixintai early, and her soul was broken into thousands of pieces, and the Zanpakutao that followed her in life and death also disappeared.

Later, the soul of Kaoru Sakurai was reunited, and she returned to the world of souls with a new identity. Because Zanpakuto recognized the master, she once again summoned the Zanpakuto she used before her rebirth—that is, the winter lion This one in Lang's hand - asking for love.

"Swastika." He said softly.

The question in his hand shook quietly, and immediately, the slender blade suddenly burst into a dazzling golden light——

The golden light gradually took shape in the air, like a prison bird breaking through the shackles.

This prison bird gathered by the golden light has plump wings, thin and stretched wings, and a circle of red gold light is shining around the wings, as if it was born from the fire.However, the size of this bird is not very large——

The prison bird flapped its wings lightly, and it circled around the stone chamber quickly, and then...lightly stopped on the palm of Dong Shilang's just opened left hand.

Dong Shilang looked down at the palm of his hand, his brows and eyes that were originally tightly locked suddenly stretched a little——

Successfully dispelling the Zanpakuto means that...he is already the holder of this "Qingqing".

Originally, it was impossible for something with strong personal attributes like Zanpakuto to change hands.Generally speaking, if a sword is summoned and recognized as its owner, then the sword will be no different from the most common samurai sword in the hands of someone other than the holder.In other words, except for the master identified by the sword spirit, no one else can make it unravel, let alone unravel.

However, Kaoru Sakurai's "asking love" is slightly different...

Dongshiro closed his eyes slightly.To be honest, he never thought that such a seemingly incomprehensible person like Kaoru Sakurai would conjure up such a heartfelt Zanpakuto.

Before falling into a coma, Sakurai Kaoru told him that her "asking love" has always been able to choose two masters.

The relationship between the first master, that is, Kaoru Sakurai, and Zanpakuto "Qingqing" is the same as that of all Zanpakuto and their masters in the world of corpses and souls-need to recognize each other before the conclusion can be concluded contract.However, as for the second master, Kaoru Sakurai can designate it arbitrarily.In other words, as long as the person approved by Sakurai Kaoru can directly become the user of "Qingqing" without the consent of Dao Ling.However, once this person is chosen, it cannot be changed.

This is the essence of "asking love".

The position of the second owner of this Zanpakutō has been vacant since thousands of years ago, until today, it was finally confirmed.

The prison bird in the palm is still shining brightly, but the plum tree in the middle of the stone room does not know why, pieces of fine plum petals start to peel off from the branches, rustle and scatter in all directions, and fill the room. In the golden light... Gradually, the blood-like crimson color of the petals faded, turning into a layer of ashen paleness.

It was as if the blood had washed away, revealing the whiteness underneath.

Dong Shilang opened his eyes, raised his left hand slightly upwards, and the little bird transformed by the light of the knife flapped its wings and flew out, its tail feathers drew a brilliant arc in mid-air, and where the wings passed, layers of spirit The seeds were shaken off like gold powder, and slowly scattered in all directions.

At the same time, his right arm suddenly vibrated—the Zanpakuto "Wenqing" drew half a circle in the air, and slashed forward!

But there was a loud bang!

The fierce knife wind swept past, the dust was stirred up, exposing the ground under the soil——

I saw that the originally solid stone floor was like a cracked carapace, and it was already torn apart!

the other side.Prison birds flew around the trees with lightning speed.

In an instant, the eyes were filled with golden light.

But after a while, the prison bird withdrew its wings and lightly landed on a high branch of the plum tree——

The several plum blossoms on the branches that were still in full bloom all faded in the blink of an eye, and the eye-catching crimson turned into deathly ashes in an instant, and then...

Broken into tens of thousands of pieces, like a handful of fly ash, falling to the ground.

When the plum blossoms bloom and fail, the vitality of the branches is also drained, from vigorous to withered.

Then, the prison bird left the branch and fluttered its wings lightly again.

It just flew and stayed in the dense branches of the plum tree, and the bright feathers kept falling golden spots... After a short while, all the plum blossoms were shattered.

Dong Shilang stood still, retracted the saber and turned around, and then pulled out a saber flower again. The spiritual energy all over his body was shocked, and the spiritual pressure in his whole body burst suddenly, and finally, the saber moved forward!

The heavy spiritual pressure filled the stone room in an instant, and Sakurai Kaoru, who had fallen into a coma, was suddenly awakened by the sudden coercion on her body.

It was as if her chest was pressed by a big rock, which made her almost out of breath, her blood was stagnant, and she was in excruciating pain.She forced herself to open her eyes with the last ounce of consciousness, and saw the young man beside her standing aloofly, with silver hair flying, and a piercing coldness in his emerald green eyes.

She didn't know what happened, and the pain in her body and the loss of consciousness made her have no time to take care of it.At this moment, there was a loud noise in her ears, which made her eardrums ache.The dust was flying around on the ground, and a few gravels were blown into her eyes by the knife wind, which made her shed a few tears involuntarily.

His vision suddenly blurred.

She vaguely saw that there seemed to be a layer of white ash and some brown powder floating in the air, and the arm of the young man beside him trembled slightly, and she vaguely heard a "thorn edge" in her ears-it seemed to be the return of the knife. The sound of sheathing.

I don't know if it's a hallucination.

The next moment, a white corner suddenly enlarged, and a cold and clear breath came from the tip of his nose, which was extremely familiar.Sakurai Kaoru felt as if his waist was clasped by a solid and powerful arm, and then, the next moment——

Her body suddenly lightened, and she lost consciousness again.

<<

When Sakurai Kaoru woke up, he saw Toshiro sitting on the edge, wiping his knife with downcast eyes.

He lowered his head, frowned slightly, and a pair of green eyes reflected a bright knife light——

It's her Zanpakuto "Waiqing".

He seemed so focused that Kaoru Sakurai didn't even notice Kaoru quietly opened his eyes.Kaoru Sakurai gave a smirk in his heart, deliberately kept quiet, but looked down Dong Shirou's silver hair - he was not wearing a captain's uniform today, but only an ordinary black Exercise clothes.Probably just finished the training on the driving range, his lapels are slightly loose, and a distinct collarbone can be seen faintly.On the contrary, in order not to affect the speed of action, his cuffs and waist were tightly bound with white drawstrings, making the lines of his body thinner and neater.Finally, Kaoru Sakurai's eyes fell on his hands... His fingers were slender and white, with well-defined joints. At this time, they were resting on one end of the scabbard, and their fingertips were rubbing lightly, as if they were stroking the patterns on the scabbard.

She heard Shiro Dong whisper softly as if talking to himself: "Lily."

Sakurai Kaoru finally couldn't restrain himself, and let out a chuckle with a "puchi".

"What, Captain?" She sat up with a smile, and met Dong Shirou's slightly surprised eyes, "I wonder why there are lilies engraved on my scabbard?"

"Because, my Zanpakuto is in the shape of loving you." She held back her smile solemnly, "Ahem, there is a saying in this world anyway."

Shiro Dong was stunned by her sudden nonsense, he didn't realize what she said for a moment, but said: "Sakurai, you..."

Sakurai Kaoru gently pushed away the hand he stretched out to help her lie down, and said with a smile, "I'm fine. I've been lying dead for so long, I should move around."

"By the way." She thought for a while and asked, "How long have I been in a coma? Half a month?"

Dong Shilang looked at her with deep eyes, his Adam's apple rolled slightly, and he said a little shyly, "Three months."

"Ah...ah?" Kaoru Sakurai was taken aback, "Has it been so long? I thought I was just in a coma... what about Aizen?"

Dong Shilang said: "It's all right. Not long after we came back, the captain led our remaining twelve captains to strengthen the seal of Aizen himself. And, from now on, every ten years, all The captain teamed up to strengthen it once. As for the loosening of his seal and the escape of several of his prostitutes, Jing Lingting also set up a special investigation team for this. The work of the investigation team was basically completed half a month ago, and it is now in the final stage. "

"As soon as I woke up, you talked like this..." Kaoru Sakurai rubbed his temples, "It seems that you still look like a business-like captain without wearing the captain's uniform..."

For some reason, she always felt that the moment she woke up, her relationship with the captain became inexplicably subtle again.Wasn't she fine before she passed out?

But... She thought about it, in her memory, the last moment was still the shadow of swords and swords in the stone room, but for the captain, three months had passed.

Three months, neither long nor short.But for Shiro Dong who came to watch over her every day, waiting for her to wake up...

Sakurai Kaoru sighed quietly in his heart.Such a taciturn person, the captain, can already talk to himself, this is really...

So, she stretched out her hand to push aside the bamboo curtain on the wall, and a strong sunlight came in through the window immediately, causing her to narrow her eyes reflexively: "Tsk, the weather is really nice today!"

Then she jumped out of the bed in a flash, stepped on the ground with her bare feet, and grabbed Dong Shilang who stood up after her, but she didn't pull with all her strength.

She asked, "Captain, aren't you going out with me?"

Dong Shilang looked at her fixedly, and said: "You just woke up, you should rest for two more days before—"

However, before he finished speaking, Kaoru Sakurai stretched out his hand and hooked him around the neck.

Sakurai Kaoru looked at him with a smile, and then leaned towards him, her eyelashes as dense as a crow's feathers trembled slightly in front of her eyes.Dongshiro could feel her body shaking slightly after healed from serious injuries, her exhalation, which was once shaken by his spiritual pressure, was evenly and warmly wrapped around the tip of her nose, and her cold and soft fingertips slowly Slowly, it stopped on the side of my cheek...

Sakurai Kaoru closed her eyes, put her head on his shoulder, and whispered in his ear: "Captain, as I said, how could I be willing to die with you here?"

"But I'm actually..." A layer of moisture suddenly filled her eyes, and the tip of her nose was slightly sour. She blinked her eyes twice quickly, but her voice was still hoarse when she spoke again, "I'm actually...afraid I really can't..."

"Fortunately, I didn't die."

A tear fell.

The tear slipped down silently, but Dong Shilang somehow noticed it.He gently stroked her hair with one hand, and moved her away from his shoulders with the other.

He wiped away the hot tear on her cheek, looked at her with burning eyes, and was about to bow his head slightly——

Sakurai Kaoru was the first to kiss her at that moment.

Her eyes are especially moist, but they already contain all kinds of smiles, including cheerful ones, brisk ones, and... malicious ones, as if asking Dong Shilang: "This time, it's my turn to come first." right?"

The four lips are tightly attached to each other, the lips and teeth are intertwined, and the breath is tossing and turning, which is long and indistinguishable.

The two embraced each other tightly, kissed each other deeply, and loved each other passionately, with boundless lingering love.

From then on, there will be no separation in the ends of the world.

this moment.

That is eternity.

It's over
