Bleach: Starting as a Vasto Lorde

Chapter 64: The Unkind

"Kazuya, did Kisuke snitch on me?"

Back in Urahara Shop, Lisa threw another question at Kazuya, her gaze emanating cold anger. She suspected Kisuke of revealing her background to Kazuya for obvious reasons.

Kazuya maintained a neutral expression, knowing well that a simple nod of his head could land Kisuke in a whirlwind of trouble. He was tempted to say yes, but given Kisuke's cunning, he would evade Lisa unscathed.

He shook her head. "I knew who you were the moment I heard your name."

"How? Is it also related to your mysterious past?"

"Kind of."

He wasn't lying but he wasn't telling the truth either. Honestly, he hadn't expected his bullshit lies to ever reach this point. He had hoped the truth would remain between the Urahara gang and him, but Yoruichi and Kisuke almost revealed it to Apacci and others.

Lisa stared at him, feeling tempted to solve the mystery. "I'll get it out of you one day."

"Keep dreaming."

As they traversed through the shop, the muffled sounds of a conversation emanated from a room nearby. Lisa, without a second thought, opened the door. Tessai, the former Commander of the Kidō Corps and his Vice-Chief, Hachigen, were having a casual chat over tea.

Hachigen's gaze drifted to Kazuya, his lips curling up into a knowing smile. "So, you found him. I'd appreciate a detailed update later, if that's possible."

Lisa knew Hachigen was misunderstanding her relationship with Kazuya but she was too lazy to correct him. "No problem, Hachi. I'll see you later."

"Bye, Lisa."

With a nod towards Hachigen, Kazuya followed Lisa out of the shop, leaving the two Kidō masters to their discussion.

...

In the meantime, Apacci kept her gaze locked on the door through which Kazuya and Lisa had vanished. "That jerk. Shouldn't he say something before leaving?"

Sung-Sun couldn't help but giggle. It was clear that Apacci was simmering with jealousy at the sight of Kazuya leaving with Lisa, a woman of considerable beauty.

Harribel, on the other hand, looked at Apacci with a look of disapproval. "I'm glad they didn't become enemies. Do you want Kazuya to be sad or happy?"

Apacci huffed her head away, acting like she didn't care in either state, even though her consideration for Kazuya was only second to Harribel. No one beat Harribel when it came to caring for Kazuya.

"Now they will become something else," whispered Sung-Sun, grinning mischievously. "Mila Rose, Kazuya promised to buy us clothes. Let's drag him to the shop after we're given a suitable Gigai."

Mila Rose clutched her shirt which still had the lingering scent of Kazuya. She had made a little bond with the clothing since it was her first ever shirt. "Right. I'll bury it somewhere safe."

"Mila Rose, you need to learn a lot about your new form," Cirucci said with a wry smile. "Clothes are stored, not buried."

Mila Rose knitted her brows. "I like burying things. Keeps them safe."

Despite having been an Arrancar for a while now, her primitive, wild instincts were still very much intact.

Kisuke popped into view at a distance, and then in a blink, he was standing in front of them thanks to his Shunpo. "Ladies, sorry to interrupt your good time. I brought a couple Gigai."
