Crossover: A Different Inuyasha.

Chapter 152 The Kurosaki Family

"Brother, Inuyasha brother."

Orihime Inoue sat on one side of a small table, her hands on her knees, her eyes downcast, her small hands unconsciously gripping the hem of her skirt, her small body trembling slightly.

One reason is the cold.

The Inoue family, with their limited resources, could only turn on the heater during the coldest part of the night.

Every penny was earned by Inoue Hiroshi, who had just graduated from high school, through hard work.

Rent, utilities, tuition, and living expenses—these combined can be overwhelming even for an adult.

The other is feeling lost and helpless.

Despite her young age, Orihime's experiences over the years have made her more compassionate and understanding than other children her age.

If there could be a better future, even if not for herself, she wanted to do something for her brother.

For her brother's happy future, Orihime fears nothing.

"Brother, I—"

She had barely opened her mouth when Inoue Hiroshi rudely interrupted her, "Children shouldn't interrupt adults!"

Seeing his younger sister's eyes redden and her clear, bright eyes become misty, Inoue Hao felt a pang of sympathy and softened his tone, "The water's ready, go sit in your room."

"I see."

"Brother, Inuyasha brother, I'm going in first."

Orihime lowered her head and walked into the room dejectedly.

Inuyasha watched the whole thing without interrupting.

I am still an outsider.

Whether one sides with Inoue Hiroshi or Inoue Orihime, the result will be that one is disliked by both sides.

As the door closed, Inoue Hao placed the business card on the table. "We appreciate your kindness, but please give us some more time to consider it."

Inoue Hao could tell from Orihime's attitude that even if her sister was willing, who knew if Ruri Film Studio, which she had never even heard of, would be a trap?

He plans to investigate in the next few days.

"It's good to be cautious when making choices in your future life."

Inuyasha guessed Inoue Hiroshi's thoughts and didn't linger. He stood up and said, "If you want to know about Ruri Films..."

"You can call the office in three days."

Watching the black-haired youth leave, Inoue Hao looked down at the gilded business card and remained silent.

Hearing the door close, Orihime opened the door and looked at Inoue Hiroshi's undisguised fatigue and toil. She sniffed and slowly walked out.

"Brother, I'm going to cook."

"Okay, go ahead."

Looking at his frail younger sister huddled in the room, Inoue Hao clenched his fists under the table and lowered his head.

Children his age grow up under the care of their parents, without worries about food or clothing, but what about him?

"I'm really useless."

Listening to the sounds coming from the kitchen, the young man took a deep breath and put the business card on the table into his pocket.

In any case, Inoue Hiroshi must do everything in his power to give his sister a bright future and a happy life, instead of being stuck at the bottom of society like himself.

For someone who has to endure hardship, one person is enough.

After leaving the Inoue family, Inuyasha also visited the homes of several girls from the original story, including Tatsuki Arisawa, Chizuru Honjo, Maka Natsui, and Michiru Ogawa.

The reasons are all the same.

Their roles are similar to those of Tia Harribel's three subordinates; they are all accessories to Inoue Orihime.

Whether you agree or disagree is actually not important.

Finding them was only in the hope that Orihime could have a happier student life.

Flowers that grow in love and happiness will surely be more delicate and beautiful.

As evening approached, Inuyasha strolled to the Kurosaki Clinic in Karakura Town—the home of the protagonist, Kurosaki Ichigo.

"Hey sir, what's up?"

After the doorbell rang, a rough voice came out along with the sound of the door opening.

A tall, robust middle-aged man with short black hair, a beard, and casual clothes stood at the door with a kind smile on his face.

"Should I call you Shiba Isshin, the former captain of the 10th Division, or Kurosaki Isshin, who has fallen for a Quincy?"

The long-unheard name entered his ears, causing Kurosaki Isshin's face to turn serious as he looked at the seemingly harmless boy in front of him with a solemn expression.

He not only chose to leave without saying goodbye and break away from the Grim Reaper, but also united with the Quincy, the Grim Reaper's enemy, undoubtedly violating the law.

The rules of Soul Society.

Not only themselves, but also their children, could be purged by Soul Society.

Meanwhile, more than a decade ago, Isshin, who was then known as Shiba, encountered Masaki Kurosaki and Ryugen Ishida, who were being attacked by Hollows, and immediately stepped in to save them from danger.

After the battle, Ishida Ryugen told Masaki that her body had shown signs of becoming ethereal due to an attack by "Hollow White".

At this moment, Kisuke Urahara appeared before the three of them, explaining that he possessed a method to save Masaki's life, but this technique would require immense power sufficient to suppress her Hollowfication for life, until her death.

In order to save Masaki Kurosaki's life and allow her to maintain her human identity and live in the real world.

He wholeheartedly chose to inhabit Kisuke's specially made artificial body, at the cost of being unable to use the power of a Shinigami, becoming an existence between a Shinigami and a human. He established a soul connection with the Hollow power within Masaki, saving Masaki from the fate of being continuously eroded by Hollowfication and self-destruction.

Afterwards, she successfully married Masaki Kurosaki, who had just graduated from university, and they had three children: Ichigo, Yuuko, and Karin.

However, this year, Habach launched a holy attack on all Quincy hybrids, extracting their power, and Masaki Kurosaki unfortunately perished in this holy attack.

"My name is Inuyasha. As for my identity, Captain Yamamoto will tell you when you return to Soul Society."

The captain's name and his slightly meaningful words caused Kurosaki Isshin's expression to change slightly, but he then broke into a hearty smile. "So you're a distinguished guest. Please come in."

Since the other party dared to come to his door, they must have something to rely on. Now that his strength has been greatly reduced, and with his children all around, he dared not offend them carelessly.

Moreover, this uninvited guest gave Kurosaki Isshin the feeling that he was truly unfathomable.

Inuyasha entered the house and was greeted by a typical community clinic. To the right was a living room filled with the warmth of everyday life. On one wall hung a portrait of a woman with long, wavy, brownish-yellow hair and a bright smile.

Beneath the woman's bust, the words "Masaki" are written in artistic lettering.

After glancing at the portrait of Kurosaki Isshin's deceased wife, Kurosaki Masaki, he felt as if he were back home. Following the aroma of food, he crossed the living room and arrived at the dining room, where he saw the three little ones eating at the table.

Kurosaki Isshin took out his phone from his pocket and sent a text message to his Quincy friend Ishida Ryugen and Urahara Kisuke, whom he hadn't been able to contact for a long time, before heading to the restaurant.

"Wanderer, serve the guest a bowl of rice."

When they saw Inuyasha approaching, the three elementary school students were stunned for a moment—he's so handsome.

Upon hearing her father's call, Kurosaki Yuuko, with her short, brownish-yellow hair, obediently went to get the bowl and chopsticks.

Yuuki's twin sister, Karin Kurosaki with short black hair, got up from her seat, pulled out the chair next to her, and politely...

He said politely, "Please sit down."

Nine-year-old Ichigo Kurosaki also greeted him, "Good evening, big brother."

"Hello to you all." Inuyasha responded and sat down. Yuuko served him rice and said, "Big brother, please eat."

"Yes, you're a good boy."

Inuyasha, who is always gentle with well-behaved children and has a group of little priestesses at home, patted Yuzu's head.

His gentle attitude put Kurosaki Isshin at ease as he returned to his seat, and he said, "Mr. Inuyasha, please don't mind the simple meal."

"Home-cooked meals suit my taste better than fancy meat dishes from restaurants." Inuyasha released his hand from Yuuki's head, and the little girl shyly returned to her seat.

Amidst the pleasantries, dinner came to an end. Yuuki and Karin cleared away the dishes, Ichigo mopped the floor, and Kurosaki Isshin, with Inuyasha in tow, went upstairs to the study.

The interior is decorated in a warm and elegant style, clearly the work of a woman.

Inuyasha has always lacked patience for communicating with men. Before Kurosaki Isshin could even speak, a stream of light flew into his brow, revealing all the changes in Soul Society to him.

An expression of disbelief crossed his face.

The next second, his connection with the Hollow energy within Masaki and spreading into Ichigo Kurosaki was completely severed, and he regained the power of the Shinigami Captain.

The surging spiritual pressure had just emerged when it was completely suppressed within a small area by an invisible force.

"The Soul Society isn't as complicated now; it's time to really go all out."

Inuyasha sat in a chair, resting his chin on one hand. "It's time for the Gotei 13 to be reorganized and divided. You should go back too."

Without the slightest hesitation, Kurosaki Isshin knelt on one knee, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

Despite being deeply shocked, he had no doubt about what he was seeing.

The world of Soul Society—no, the world of the three realms—has undergone a cataclysmic change!

"Get up, kneeling is not customary in the Eastern Kingdom."

Inuyasha looked at Kurosaki Isshin, who had stood up, lowered his eyes, and whose Zanpakuto had appeared at his waist, his casual clothes now covered by Shinigami robes, and smiled.

"Also, your son has good talent. With proper training, he could succeed Yamamoto as Captain-Commander."

Kurosaki Ichigo, who was able to become the Soul King like Yhwach, undoubtedly possessed immense strength at his peak in the original work. Coupled with the extraordinary training system in the Eastern Kingdom, his potential for development is limitless.

This is the Imperial Tiger that Inuyasha was supposed to have!

"It's about time that this old man, who has worked hard for Soul Society for a thousand years, retired and enjoyed life."

It's not that Inuyasha wants to abandon Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, but rather that he plans to find a more suitable place for the old man to continue to shine.

In this new era, let the more adaptable young people ride the wave.

Kurosaki listened intently, his breathing fluctuating slightly as he hesitated.

Compared to the Grim Reaper who faces life and death, as a father, he hopes his son can live a peaceful and safe life.

Inuyasha glanced at Isshin Kurosaki, yawned, and said slowly, "If your son does well enough to become the Captain-Commander despite opposition, I wouldn't mind bringing Masaki Kurosaki back to life."

This bombshell made the middle-aged man's breathing quicken.

While his son's safety and well-being are important, his wife is still the apple of his eye and the apple of his eye.

Just as jade needs to be carved to become a useful object, boys should bravely forge ahead through storms and waves!

Kurosaki Isshin bowed his head and placed his hand on his chest, speaking earnestly, "Please rest assured, Lord God, I will give it my all to ensure that Ichigo lives up to your expectations and becomes a useful member of the Eastern Kingdom!"

Downstairs, Ichigo, who was putting the mop back, shivered, feeling that something bad was about to happen.

The young man, sitting in front of the television, glanced up at the second floor. "The 'Ghostly Adventure Team' show at Tang Guanyin Temple is about to start. Why isn't Father coming down yet?"

Xia Li, who was standing to the side, said, "It must be something important with your older brother. Let's watch first."

At this moment, in the study, it was like a Sichuan opera face-changing performance. Kurosaki Isshin's face was filled with the word "loyalty," which made Inuyasha chuckle.

"Don't let Ichigo get too tired."

"Please rest assured, Ichigo has always been energetic since he was a child, he won't get tired."

"Remember to balance work and rest."

Inuyasha said something, looked out the window, reached out and grabbed into the spatial rift, then pulled back and threw it away. Ishida Ryugen, whose glasses were almost falling off his nose, was caught from the outside.

Speaking of which, this person is actually Masaki Kurosaki's fiancé. It seems that Isshin Kurosaki has become a minotaur.

However, the relationship between the two is too complex to explain in a few words; it can only be said that it is all the world's fault.

You could even curse King Ling as a worthless bastard.

Another streak of light flew into the brow of Ishida Ryugen, who was being supported by Kurosaki Isshin and whose power was sealed.

"What's the point of eavesdropping outside? Some things are better said face to face—I prefer a happy ending with family reunion; I can't be sad at all."

Inuyasha looked at the shocked Ishida Ryūgen and said, "Now that the spiritual particle cycle of the three realms has been broken, the Quincy should not be the enemies of the Shinigami. If you are working for the Eastern Kingdom, resurrecting a few people will be no problem."

"Ryuken," Kurosaki Isshin said softly, looking at his friend who had rushed over immediately upon hearing the news, "Aren't you going to thank the Divine Lord?"

Their gazes met in the air.

Ryūgen Ishida knew what the other person was thinking.

Such a major change in Soul Society in less than two days could not possibly be a lie by Xi Jinping.

If Inuyasha truly possessed the power to bring the dead back to life, then Kurosaki Isshin, along with himself, would seize this opportunity firmly.

His wife, Katagiri Hae, like Kurosaki Masaki, was also killed by the Sanctification initiated by Yhwach.

Later, in order to explore the reason why the half-Queen met their deaths after encountering Sanctuary, Ishida Ryugen dissected Katagiri Hae's body despite his son Ishida Uryu's cries and pleas. He discovered a silver blood clot in her body, which provided important information for the final killing of Yhwach.

This is a calm and rational man whose fatherly love is as powerful as a mountain collapsing and the earth splitting.

Ryūgen Ishida stood up, adjusted his glasses, and bowed. "The last Quincy obeys the command of His Majesty the God!"

Seeing Ishida Ryūgen lower his head, Inuyasha smiled and said, "Your son, Ishida Uryu, is also quite good. Raise him well."

He then took out a card from his pocket and tossed it to Kurosaki Isshin, "Also, I have an important task for you and Ryugen to do."

Kurosaki Kazushige became solemn and respectfully extended both hands to receive the card. When he saw the words written on it, his expression became suspicious.

"The front has the name of my firm, and the back has some little girls' addresses written on it."

Under the wide-eyed gazes of the two, Inuyasha placed his hands on his chin and issued commands.

"Using your status as doctors as a guarantee, make sure that the girls whose names are on my list, especially Inoue Orihime, join my agency."

"—Yes, Your Majesty!"
