Death: Captain Millennium

After completing their daily patrol, Ichigo and Rukia returned home exhausted. Ichigo plopped down on the sofa, rubbing his shoulders and muttering, "I'm so tired. The Hollows didn't find me today, but I've run enough."

Rukia stood aside, arms folded across her chest, looking helplessly at Ichigo, as if he were a fool. She couldn't help but say, "It's a good thing there aren't any Hollows around, and you're complaining. Are you a battle fanatic?"

Ichigo raised his head, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes. He explained, "It's just that I haven't killed a hollow in a long time and I'm a little itchy. I also want to improve my strength as soon as possible and find out the truth of all this. Fighting is the best way to do it."

Rukia listened to Ichigo's words and looked at him speechlessly, not knowing how to respond. She knew Ichigo's desire for power, but she also hoped that he could understand that fighting was not the only way to protect the world.

After a while, Rukia sighed softly, walked over to Ichigo and sat down, and said softly: "Ichigo, I understand your pursuit of power, but we also need to pay attention to rest and adjust our mentality. Excessive fighting may make you lose yourself and fall into madness."

Ichigo nodded, understanding Rukia's concerns. He knew he needed to strike a balance between fighting and life, and not blindly pursue power while neglecting other important things.

Rukia continued, "Furthermore, fighting isn't the only way to grow. Learning, thinking, and experiencing the various things in life can also help us improve our strength. So, don't always rush for success, but remain patient and calm."

Ichigo smiled at Rukia and thanked her for the reminder. He decided to focus more on self-cultivation and inner peace in the future to grow better.

"Well, better get back to my body and eat as soon as possible. I'm starving." Ichigo said as he quickly walked upstairs to the bedroom.

"Ah..." A shrill scream suddenly came from upstairs. Rukia downstairs' face changed drastically when she heard the sound. She thought something had happened to Ichigo, so she ran upstairs without hesitation.

Rukia rushed into the room and saw Ichigo standing by the bed, his eyes glazed over, his mouth wide open but no sound coming out. "Ichigo, what's wrong with you? Were you attacked by a Hollow?"

"Rukia... Rukia, my body is gone." Ichigo's voice seemed to come from a distant place, full of fear and despair.

"The body is missing? What a joke! Could it be that your body has grown legs and run away? What's so surprising about that?" Rukia frowned, walked to the bed with indifference, and reached out to lift the quilt on the bed.

However, when she saw the scene on the bed, her eyes widened instantly, and a sharp roar came from her throat. "Ichigo, your body is really gone!"

Rukia looked around in fear, trying to find Ichigo's body. Her heartbeat was rapidly accelerating, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

"What on earth is going on? How could Ichigo's body disappear out of thin air?" Rukia muttered to herself, "There must be a reason..."

She tried to calm herself down and began to recall everything that had just happened. Suddenly, she thought of something and her eyes became sharp.

"Could it be... Hollows? They might have stolen Ichigo's body while his soul was out of his body!" Rukia clenched her Zanpakutō, ready to go out with Ichigo to find his body.

"Ichigo! Why are you still in a daze? Hurry up and act! We have to find your body quickly, otherwise you will stay in this state forever!" Rukia shouted anxiously, while holding Ichigo's hand tightly, and rushed out the door without hesitation.

"Ichigo, calm down, concentrate, and try to feel the general condition of your body." Rukia said in a serious tone after rushing out the door, and quickly taught him the specific sensing method.

Ichigo took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. Following Rukia's instructions, he began to carefully sense the presence of his body. After a moment, he vaguely felt the location of his body.

"Over there, Rukia! I feel it, my body is inside the school!" Ichigo shouted excitedly, then grabbed Rukia's hand tightly and ran towards the school as fast as possible. They rushed along the street, anxious and worried, just wanting to find Ichigo's lost body as soon as possible.

The two arrived at the school and searched everywhere cautiously. Ichigo, relying on the faint sense of his own body, brought Rukia to the bottom of the teaching building.

"It seems to be in here..." Ichigo frowned and sensed it intently.

"Go up and take a look." Rukia urged Ichigo, and the two of them quickly rushed into the classroom. However, the imagined shadow of the Hollow did not appear. Instead, a shocking scene appeared: Ichigo's body was standing in the classroom with an obscene smile on his face, seemingly teasing Orihime and Ryuki.

Long Gui immediately rushed forward, blocking Orihime, glaring at Ichigo and shouting, "Ichigo, what's wrong with you, you big pervert? If you do this again, I'll beat you to death!"

But Ichigo completely ignored Ryuki's warning and continued to walk towards Orihime, muttering, "Hey, beauty, let me touch you, let me touch you." He even reached out and tried to touch Orihime's milky white snow.

Seeing this, Long Gui could no longer bear it, and angrily raised his fist and hit Ichigo's face fiercely. The blow was so powerful that it directly knocked Ichigo back and flew out of the window.

"Ichigo, are you okay?" Orihime looked at Ichigo who fell from the building, extremely anxious, and hurried to the window to check on him.

"Orihime, why are you still protecting that big pervert? He deserves to be thrown to death." Long Gui looked at Orihime's appearance, stomped his feet in anger, and said with a look of disappointment.

"Longgui, that's not Ichigo. Ichigo might be controlled by something. That's not him." Orihime's words stunned Longgui. What did she mean by that's not him?

Not to mention Ryuki, Ichigo and Rukia, who saw all this at the door, were about to explode. Why did his body inexplicably run to school and tease Orihime? What on earth was controlling his body?

"Ichigo, you catch up first. I'll go to Urahara's shop. I might know what happened to your body." Rukia guessed a possibility.

Ichigo looked at Rukia in confusion. "What's going on?"

Rukia gritted her teeth and said, "There must be something wrong with the Gikonmaru I bought today. I'm going to find that unscrupulous merchant Urahara right away."
