Shi O Hirogeru

2

Several weeks went by, as the two slowly got closer and closer. Jushiro would soon show some Kido to the girl, intriguing her and making her overly fond of Jushiro.

Jushiro's mind would be occupied by a thought during the day, causing a few to look worried about Jushiro.

Kiyone and Sentaro discussed some work sent down from the higher-ups to Jushiro before noticing his busy look.

" Is everything okay sir?" Kiyone asked with concern, causing Jushiro to perk up out of his thoughts.

He smiled softly to the two, saying," do not worry, Kiyone, I'm doing just fine. I'm just thinking of a rather slightly rash decision. Would you two like to help me confirm my decision?"

The two were amazed by this and smiled happily, eager to help him, saying 'yes' excitingly.

"I have been thinking of adding someone to my family and it may have some consequences on my end. We have gotten close and i have grown extremely fond of them and i hope to teach her plenty. Should i take her into my family and care?" He asked them with a slightly stern and anticipating expression.

The two were amazed by his question and story, Kiyone pouting a bit at the story, thinking Jushiro suggested having a wife of his own. Sentaro was excited for Jushiro to have a partner in his life.

" I think you should go through with it Captain Ukitake! We can't wait to see them!" Sentaro said with a thumbs up.

Kiyone looked hesitant before saying," Y-yea... If it makes you happy Captain than you should go entirely through it!"

Jushiro smiled at their responses and nodded, saying," Thanks for your input, you two. It is greatly appreciated."

The two nodded, smiling brightly at Jushiro before going off to do their work. Jushiro gave a confident smile, nodding to reassure himself as he got up and went to the koi pond, as usual, to meet up with Sadoka.

Sadoka was already sitting at the pond, smiling at the koi before smiling even brighter, seeing Jushiro saying," Hello Mr. Ukitake! It's so good to see you!"

" It's good to see you too Sadoka!" Jushiro said with a chuckle, waving to her and sitting down beside her.

The girl would eagerly sit near the man and enjoy the company, going on to tell him how her day was. It included stealing and running away from people who would harm her. Jushiro would listen and frown a bit at the story, finding sympathy in her and remembering when he searched her spiritual pressure that was suppressed.

" Sadoka, I have a proposition to make for you." Jushiro stated with a small smile, looking excited, which intrigued the girl." How would you like to become apart of my family and be my daughters?"

The girl looked extremely surprised by this, having a shocked expression before beginning to tear up and cry tears of joy, which alarmed Jushiro.

" A-are you alright Sadoka??" The man asked with extreme concern before she hugged Jushiro tightly and thanked him immensely.

She looked at him with teary eyes and a big smile saying," Thank you so much, Mr. Ukitake!! I will repay your kindness somehow, and I will make sure to make you proud!!"

Jushiro gave a small chuckle as he held her close in the hug, the girl having a big smile as she stayed close. It was soon late, and she would start to leave before being stopped by Jushiro.

" Where do you think you're going? You are going to live with me now since you're apart of my family." Jushiro said with a small smile.

The girl perked up at this before nodding and going to follow him. She would hide from everyone's sight, making sure no one would spot her in fear of getting attacked. Jushiro would understand her caution and let her do as she pleased before getting to where they would stay.

He showed her where her room would be, saying," this is where you will sleep from now on."

She looked amazed at the room as it had the basic necessities in it, which was much more than what she usually was stuck with. She thanked Jushiro as she would touch the comfy futon and lay in it with a big smile. Jushiro smiled at Sadoka as she had instantly fallen asleep the second her head felt the futon. Jushiro would let her sleep as he slept in his bed.
