Death: Captain Millennium

"So how is she doing now?"

Rukia looked at Byakuya Kuchiki with a complex expression, her voice trembling slightly. Despite the strong emotions deep within her, she still couldn't easily call out the word "sister." Years of wandering and loneliness had made her feel unfamiliar and confused about this sudden family affection.

Kuchiki Byakuya was silent for a moment, a trace of pain flashing in his eyes.

Rukia's heart sank, and she couldn't help but think the worst. An ordinary soul surviving in a place like Seireitei would have long since perished. And the one who came looking for her wasn't her sister, as she'd hoped, but Byakuya Kuchiki.

Thinking of this, Rukia's face showed an unconcealable sadness.

Kuchiki Byakuya realized that Rukia might have misunderstood what he meant, and hurriedly explained: "Hisima is still alive, she is not dead."

"How is that possible?" Rukia widened her eyes. Through her studies at the Shinō Spiritual Arts Academy, she clearly understood that after death, the soul would come to the Soul Society.

Those with spiritual power can become the God of Death after systematic learning, while those without spiritual power are called "whole", which is an ordinary soul that can only wait to dissipate and then be reincarnated.

Being in Seireitei would only hasten the death of ordinary souls. Didn't Byakuya just say that his sister was just an ordinary soul? How could she not be dead yet?

"Fei Zhen is indeed not dead. These things cannot be explained in a short time."

Rukia looked at Byakuya, her heart filled with confusion. She didn't understand why her sister was still alive, still in the Kuchiki family, and even became the wife of this god of death. She wanted to know the truth, but was afraid to face reality.

Byakuya looked at Rukia quietly, knowing her inner struggle and confusion. He sighed softly and said, "Rukia, come back with me to the Kuchiki residence. There are some things you can only truly understand when you return to the Kuchiki residence."

Rukia hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded. She decided to trust Byakuya for once and followed him back to the Kuchiki household to hear Hima's story. Perhaps there were secrets hidden within it that she had never known.

Abarai and the others nearby were completely bewildered, wondering what the god of death had said to Rukia. She looked dazed, with tears in the corners of her eyes.

When the two were about to leave together, Abarai jumped out to stop them. "Why did you take Rukia away? You must explain clearly."

Lin Yu stopped Abarai Renji and said, "This is the Kuchiki family's family affair, it's not up to you to decide."

Byakuya turned and walked forward, Rukia followed him silently. Their figures gradually went away, leaving Abarai and others staring at their departing backs with a confused look on their faces.

Abarai couldn't help but ask, "Captain Lin Yu, what did that Death God say to Rukia? Why did she suddenly become so distracted?"

Lin Yu looked at them and replied, "This is a family affair of the Kuchiki family. If you want to know, wait for Rukia to come back and hear her tell you the answer herself."

"Kuchiki family matters?" Abarai gritted his teeth, his heart filled with worry. He was worried that Rukia would be hurt, but he couldn't stop Byakuya from taking her away. At this moment, he could only silently pray that Rukia would be safe.

In the Kuchiki household, a story of family secrets and kinship is about to unfold. Can Rukia accept this sudden reality? Will she be willing to acknowledge Hime as her older sister? Everything is full of unknowns...

The two of them went to the Kuchiki residence together. Along the way, Rukia was filled with anxiety and anticipation.

When they arrived at the Kuchiki residence, a beautiful and gentle woman was writing something in the courtyard. Her eyes revealed kindness and warmth, and Rukia recognized her at a glance - Hima.

Because the two of them are so similar, and there is that kind of innate kinship in their blood.

Before Byakuya could speak, Rukia asked, "Are you my sister, Hisa?"

When Feizhen heard this, she paused in her writing, not wanting to believe that she was hallucinating because of longing. She seemed to hear Rukia's voice. She slowly turned her head.

"Rukia..." Hime called her sister's name softly, tears flashing in her eyes. She saw the figure she had been thinking about day and night.

Feizhen pinched herself hard, it hurt. This was not an illusion, Rukia had really found it.

Rukia stared at Hime, tears streaming down her face. On the way, Rukia was still considering whether to recognize him, but now the two of them hugged each other and cried, feeling the lost and regained family love.

Rukia and Hime hugged each other and cried. Byakuya watched the scene quietly, with a hint of relief in his eyes.

After the two of them calmed down a little, Rukia asked, "Sister, why are you here? What happened back then?"

Feizhen took a deep breath and slowly recounted what happened that year.

It turns out that as an ordinary soul, Hime is not allowed to stay in Soul Society.

After abandoning Rukia, she regretted it and began to look for Rukia in Rukongai. One day, she met Byakuya who came to Rukongai to perform a mission.

Perhaps it was love at first sight, so Byakuya put aside his noble pride, chatted with her for a few words, and then left. In the days that followed, Byakuya would always use the opportunity of carrying out missions to chat with her. Until one day, Byakuya confessed his love to her and revealed that he was a noble of Soul Society and the next head of the Kuchiki family.

Not long after falling in love, the two people reached the stage of discussing marriage. In the end, despite the pressure from his family, Byakuya still married Hime.

After marriage, Feizhen's health deteriorated day by day, and she almost passed away some time ago. In the end, thanks to the treatment of Lin Yu and Kurotsuchi Mayuri, she saved her life and became a god of death.

After listening to Hime's story, Rukia was overwhelmed with mixed emotions. No wonder when she saw Hime just now, she felt a fluctuation of spiritual pressure. Although it was not strong, she was still a Shinigami.

Rukia was very grateful to the Kuchiki family, Lin Yu and others for saving her sister's life, and at the same time she also learned more about her own life experience.

At this time, Byakuya stepped forward, handed Rukia a token, and said: "This is a token of the Kuchiki family members. It represents the honor and responsibility of the Kuchiki family. Now, I give it to you, hoping that you can become a member of the Kuchiki family."

Rukia considered it for a moment, then took the token, feeling its weight. She knew it was not only an honor, but also a responsibility. From then on, she became a member of the Kuchiki family.

The scene of sisters recognizing each other is always touching. In the evening, Byakuya and Hime held a small welcome ceremony for Rukia. They invited her grandfather, Kuchiki Ginrin. At Byakuya's plea, Ginrin also recognized Rukia's identity. After all, Rukia is also a talented Shinigami and can also strengthen the Kuchiki family.

Starting tonight, Rukia has a last name, Kuchiki~.
