Bleach: Starting with Marrying Retsu Unohana

"Ichigo, you didn't even look at me!"

A brown-haired boy named Asano spoke to Ichigo with dissatisfaction.

"I don't need to see you, just hearing your voice is enough..."

Ichigo, carrying his schoolbag, casually returned to the road.

"Hey Ichigo, good morning~"

As Ichigo strode to the door of his class in the first year of high school, a gentle boy with a refined aristocratic air and meticulously groomed hair smiled at him.

"Oh, good morning, little island scenery~"

Ichigo glanced at the boy in front of him and nodded slightly.

Immediately afterwards, Ichigo opened the classroom door and walked inside...

Ichigo doesn't seem to stop for anyone.

"I heard your family went on a trip this weekend?"

As soon as Ichigo entered the classroom, he heard the voice of his childhood friend, Tatsuki Arisawa, ring in his ears.

"To be precise, everyone except me went on vacation."

Upon hearing this, Ichigo corrected him.

"Hahaha, you've been left behind again..."

Upon hearing this, Ryuki patted Go's shoulder forcefully and laughed.

"Uh." After hearing Tatsuki's words, Ichigo pursed his lips speechlessly, then stubbornly said, "I wasn't planning on going anyway."

"You're still as stubborn as ever!"

As Ryuki spoke, he locked Ichigo's neck and joked. Throughout the entire Karakura Town, the only high school student who dared to lock Ichigo's neck was Ryuki, Ichigo's childhood friend. After all, the two had grown up together and had no reservations about each other.

"Nonsense! I wasn't just being stubborn before..."

"I'm just telling the truth; I'm the kind of person who likes to speak the truth."

Ichigo knows Tatsuki too well; he naturally knows which matter Tatsuki is referring to.

It was probably when he was a child that, every time he was defeated by Ryuki in karate class, he would cry and shout, "I will definitely defeat you in one go!"

Although Ichigo has never defeated Tatsuki, it's because ever since he started junior high at the age of twelve, his body has suddenly begun to develop uncontrollably. His strength, speed, and skills have all surpassed the range of normal humans. Sometimes Ichigo even thinks that perhaps even the Tyrannosaurus from the manga, or the defeated Tyrannosaurus, would not be his match?

"Stubborn as ever!"

Upon hearing this, Long Gui angrily retorted.

That's what's so unlovable about Ichigo; he's never given in once since he was a kid!

"Ichigo, Ryuki~"

Just then, a soft and cute voice rang out, attracting Ichigo and Ryuki's attention.

A pair of full breasts immediately caught Ichigo and Tatsuki's eye, followed by a head of orange hair that drew their attention.

"Orihime!"

Upon seeing Orihime, Tatsuki immediately released his hold on Ichigo.

Then he ran to Orihime's side and gave her a big hug.

Perhaps it was because Ryuki was using too much force, that Orihime's proud fullness bounced up and down.

Of course, Ichigo ignored all of this. He was completely at peace with himself, since that annoying guy probably wouldn't bother him today.

"Everyone, get back to your seats!"

Just as Ichigo was sitting in his seat lost in thought, with Orihime looking at Ichigo and Tatsuki looking at Orihime, Ichigo's homeroom teacher, Ochi Miyu, also known as Ms. Miyu, a woman wearing glasses and whose eyes sparkled with wisdom, walked into the classroom.

"Okay, Teacher Xiaomei~"

When everyone saw Ochi Miyu, they all returned to their seats.

Today, I'd like to introduce a transfer student!

After seeing everyone return to their seats, Miyu smiled at the girl outside the door and said, "Alright, you can come in now!"

"Okay, teacher~"

As soon as Miyu finished speaking, a voice that Ichigo found extremely familiar rang out from outside the classroom door. A smug-looking onion-headed figure walked into the classroom.

"Hello everyone! My name is Rukia Kuchiki!"

"Starting today, I'm classmates with everyone!"

Please give me your feedback!

Then, to everyone's surprise, the onion-headed man revealed his name.

"Huh?! Are you kidding me..."

When Ichigo heard the name Rukia Kuchiki, he finally snapped out of his daze. He stared at Rukia with wide eyes and shouted angrily.

"So, my dear Ichigo Kurosaki, let's begin our happy and wonderful school life~"

Rukia smiled at Ichigo and replied.

"I'm not happy at all! You jerk!"

Ichigo responded angrily.

Chapter 182 Rukia: Ichigo, Quincy are very dangerous

between classes.

Kurosaki Ichigo leaned against the window, sulking to himself.

Meanwhile, Rukia Kuchiki was smiling and chatting with Ichigo's classmates. For a moment, Ichigo, the blond-haired, minotaur-like guy, had the unsettling feeling that he was being outdone. These were his friends, and he had arrived first... cough cough...

"So Rukia and Ichigo are acquaintances?!"

Orihime, with her hands behind her back, approached Rukia and asked curiously.

"Of course~"

"By the way, I'm currently staying at Ichigo's house~"

Rukia replied with a smile.

"Eh?! You and Ichigo are already living together?"

Rukia's answer elicited gasps of shock from the group of high school students.

"We wouldn't call it living together. If I had to say, she's just someone who hangs out of our house and freeloads."

Ichigo, who had been silent until now, frowned deeply after hearing what everyone was saying. He thought that if he didn't clarify things soon, who knew what these idle people would say about his relationship with Rukia!

"Oh, Ichigo-kun, you're mistaken! Your aunties and uncles like me a lot~"

Rukia still had a smile on her face after hearing Ichigo's words, but the veins on her forehead were bulging one after another.

"Haha~"

Upon hearing this, Ichigo merely gave a cold laugh. He neither refuted nor admitted it.

"But speaking of which, my relationship with Ichigo Kurosaki..."

"If I had to say, I'm Ichigo's distant cousin~"

Rukia thought for a moment and then explained the persona she had created for herself.

"Because my father and mother passed away unexpectedly in some accidents! For a time, I seemed to be all alone! But fortunately, I got in touch with my uncle, who is Ichigo's father, Uncle Kurosaki Isshin!"

"Because I realized that I seemed to have no other relatives in this world besides my uncle, Kurosaki Isshin, after thinking it over again and again, I went to live with my uncle, Kurosaki Isshin, and temporarily stayed at Kurosaki Ichigo's house. At the same time, my uncle was afraid that he would not be able to take good care of me, so he arranged for me and Ichigo to attend Karakura Town First High School."

Rukia Kuchiki lies without batting an eye. She calmly explains her relationship with Ichigo and comes up with a perfectly plausible reason for transferring schools and living in Ichigo's house.

"Oh, she's Ichigo's cousin~"

Upon hearing Rukia's words, the crowd erupted in cheers.

If she is Ichigo's cousin, then it wouldn't be strange for her to temporarily live in Ichigo's house and transfer to Karakura Town First High School.

At the same time, everyone felt sympathy and pity for Rukia's experience.

"Thank you for your hard work, Rukia!"

Among them, Orihime pulled Rukia into her arms and spoke excitedly.

Orihime, who also lost her family at a very young age, understands Rukia's plight best and is filled with sympathy for her.

"What cousin?"

Ichigo's eyelids twitched slightly after hearing Rukia's words. It was the first time he had ever realized that Rukia could lie without batting an eye.

"..."

Rukia, held in Orihime's surging arms, seemed to sense Ichigo's gaze. She forcefully clenched her fist at Ichigo, then mouthed a series of words: "If you don't want trouble, don't expose me! Also, at my age, I'm old enough to be your grandmother, let alone your cousin. So from today onwards, you brat, remember to show me some respect!"

"This bastard..."

After hearing Rukia's words, Ichigo Kurosaki was so angry that he gritted his teeth.

However, in the end, Ichigo held back...

"Does Ichigo have a cousin? I've never heard of her before!"

After Ichigo tacitly accepted it, everyone in the class seemed to have accepted Rukia's identity. Only Tatsuki Arisawa, who had grown up with Ichigo, had his brows furrowed and kept muttering to himself, seemingly still wondering about Rukia's identity.

However, since Ichigo didn't say anything about Rukia's identity, Tatsuki didn't bother to question it either. Since the real human had already acknowledged it, it would be rather immature for her, as a childhood friend, to say anything out of line...

In fact, Rukia may have just stumbled upon the right answer by accident. Given the relationship between the Kuchiki and Shiba families, it wouldn't be wrong for Rukia to call herself Ichigo's distant cousin. After all, the ancestors of the 'Five Great Noble Families' had close relationships, and intermarriages between the 'Five Great Noble Families' have never stopped in the 'Soul Society' for millions of years.

With Ichigo's tacit approval, Rukia, as Ichigo's cousin, successfully became friends with Ichigo's classmates. Rukia even quickly became the leader of Ichigo's class, and even the entire Karakura Town First High School, by using Ichigo's name.

This made Ichigo, who was already annoyed by Rukia's arrival, even more annoyed: "My dream of an ordinary high school life is gone forever!"

"Drip drip..."

Just as Rukia was chatting with Ichigo's classmates, her cell phone suddenly flashed a series of scarlet lights, followed by a series of electronic notification sounds.

"Ichigo! He's gone..."
