"For a man eating spirit she's pretty in love with that man."
"That was admittedly uncomfortable to watch, mostly because I always have been taught that such beings were best avoided."
"Second life for me and honestly I've experienced more things like this growing up. So I find it perfectly okay, if it'd work out I'll even encourage it."
Our little lunch date had become more like a lunch date with family friends. Grandpa BJ and Grandma Anya started tonguing after two glasses of wine. Rufus was in a booth licking honey out of a giant ass jar of the stuff. The twins did return home, looked at us all then promptly went to bed for a nap like nothing was wrong. So we left after a while with me having paid for everyone as the other two are basically broke. Because if they had any money I'd make them pay their half of the bill.
They absolutely know this as most of our dates in the Soul Society and its districts are like that. It actually works out just fine with them unless it's something special one of us decided to do then that person pats everything. Walking through the slowly darkening streets of the town we were mostly silent. Though we did get stopped by a group of thugs who looked like teenagers. They had some impressive numbers as they surrounded us and held random weapons. The rather perverted looks on their faces gave away their intentions.
"Why don't you leave those two beautiful ladies with us? We'll show them a great time and you'll get to avoid the hospital."
"Nope."
"Nah."
"Disgusting."
My nope, Pschent's nah, and Suì-Fēng looks of disgust were immediate. It surprised the teens as they owlishly looked at the three of us expecting something else. The leader, a Jojo rip-off, scowled, pulling a gun from somewhere in his clothes and didn't hesitate to shoot me in the stomach. Blinking at this I fingered the hole and dug the bullet out rather calmly. Seeing a man just finger his guts and pull a bullet out was very concerning to the teens.
"A .35 magnum round? Now that's not a safe thing to be shooting at people."
Flicking the bullet onto the ground I walked towards the shooter. Pschent and Suì-Fēng are currently processing what just happened. It's good that they are otherwise two very protective women who would be going for the kill. Seeing me walking towards him the teen flinches emptying the rest of his bullets into me. Grabbing his hand I pulled him close then kneed him violently in the stomach. An organ potentially being damaged to a high degree as he gags blood up. My blood splashed on him from the bullet holes when I threw him into his friends violently.
Digging the other bullets out using thin lines of spiritual energy from my fingers. I dropped several bullets on the ground as Suì-Fēng snapped out of things first. The teens were already fleeing but the assassin captain's face was blank like a Noah mask. She didn't kill them but she certainly broke bones as her fist and legs made contact with bodies. Pschent when she snapped out of it with a teen holding a knife attempting to grab her. She didn't hold back.
The teens head caved in under a fist with his attempted capture looking like one feral animal. Pschent was snarling with lips curled back canine's showing dangerously, the angry jackal leopard hybrid going straight for several fleeing and scared teens. By the time they all fled several were dead or groaning on the ground. Stabilizing the living we let the curious supernatural that like corpses have the dead ones. Seeing how many supernatural entities live just in this town, my two wives were surprised.
Rightfully so because this isn't normal but with active spiritually this town is. Well they are attracted here like moths to a flame, some actually are even very friendly. A smaller size tailed kitsune spirit fox landed on my left shoulder. The bone and muscular density on the supernatural creature indicates it's a male. It gives me a look over before raising a paw and slapping it down onto my shoulder. A golden glow rippled across my body with the bullet wounds healing as my chosen clothing was repaired.
Smiling at the little kitsune I scratched under his chin making him yip.
"Thank you for healing me and repairing my clothing, I hope you'll enjoy the fresh meat."
The small kitsune nudged its head towards a corpse of a rather large teen. A LARGE kitsune with fourteen tails was dragging it away followed by a dozen smaller ones. Sucking in a breath I looked at the small fox.
"Tell your mother I thank her for being so peaceful given her status."
Giggling, the fox bounded off my shoulder after its family. Though it doesn't help I can see the fucking twenty tailed kitsune sitting beside me. Suì-Fēng and Pschent also were looking at the rather giant fox beside me looking at the moon. Once everything but it had left I slowly crept away from the living apocalyptic disaster. Didn't get far before it's head snapped to me. Cross eyed the giant fox stared at me then the girls, head tilting as its tails sway seemingly harmlessly.
"I shall become your family's patron guardian, it is rare to see such a colorful bunch like you three. A Beast hybrid, a Jūki with three guns, the third born of Hollowfication, and a Shinigami all in a relationship with kits on the way. It's such an interesting thing that I got curious after getting a snack or two on the Beast's kills. I look forward to watching over your family."
The girls wanted to say something, but I being the one with logic in this type of situation spoke first. Can't have these two make this fucking monster mad, they're able to tank six of the thirteen captains alone.
"Just don't argue with them… this kitsune type is able to tank six captains alone easily, seven with some effort, ten with trouble, thirteen with no hope to survive but enough to kill six captains. If I know enough to guess, it's a fox guardian deity of Tokyo, but pretty young so a kit striking out on its own is also likely. One who while they have no name or gender yet can still handle six captains alone with some difficulty."
The fox chortles happily with a vulpine smile along its muzzle with its eyes gleaming. Tails fanning out in excitement at my words with pretty childish-like amusement. Seeing this my two lovely killing orchids chuckled at the rather big child.
"He's right I'm only a hundred years old you know?! I don't have my defining name which would give me my other traits though…. However, I don't want a stuffy temple or something. I found more interest in watching over families as a guardian. While there are the Kurosaki's, I think that's how you say the name. I don't know I'm bad with names, their son frankly terrifies me so I don't want to ask them. Same with the Blazkowicz family and those bow people, and those Full Bringer's…. You three are the only non-scary family I've found. Please accept…."
We looked at the fox with a shared pitying and exasperated look between us. The message from Suì-Fēng's eyes is true though it's basically like adopting a pitiful child version of Pschent. Said Beast scowling at the unsaid comments but can't refute them as it's essentially true. She was basically like a stray we adopted into this mess after she picked us. Shrugging, I motion to the big sulking fox. Suì-Fēng groans in annoyed acceptance given she probably wants a more cat-like guardian because of Yoruichi. Pschent flipped me off with a smirk but accepted as her rather fluffy jackal tail showed faintly, as her disguise came undone partly due to it wagging violently.
The fox seeing the silent talking through body language perks up. Looking at us rather expectantly with its eyes switching between us rapidly. Suì-Fēng, speaking up with a discouraged groan as she watched the sky, talked to the big fox.
"I'd prefer a cat like my mistress but you're just pitiful and a child still so I can't exactly let you wander around anymore or you'd be killed. Plus with SOMEONE having gotten me pregnant the weird protective instincts coming from it make me want to bash my head into a wall if I say no. So welcome to the family Alopeke."
She picked a very rare Hawaiian name that means fox. Why Hawaiian? Wait they're a part of the US…. Well then isn't that adorable Suì-Fēng. Smirking slightly I see a blush creeping onto her face as she KNOWS what she just did. The fox seems to know as well as they giggled hysterically with Pschent cackling at catching what she did.
"Alopeke I see, I see, I certainly accept your choice given you're trying to learn things about your husband's origins. Just if you call your kids off their gender or race I'd feel sorry for them because you just basically named me Fox."
With Alopeke accepting the name the kitsune visibly changed. Where they once were essentially a bland kitsune without a name they now slowly changed according to the name. Though seeing their fur become pitch black, a white outline of a Hollow mask being painted into their facial fur, and white golden marking covering certain areas of their body. Was a very interesting sight to watch, watching their gender magically appear was just weird though. One moment there's nothing then as if someone screamed let there be light a sheath and balls just… appeared.
So yeah Alopeke was well now a male, looks like a Hollowfied Shinigami with Anubis and leopard markings, given how his fur looks in general. He seemed to study his new appearance using a nearby window. His eyes finished the process by becoming a deep crimson aquamarine color. Seeing his new appearance the kitsune froze looking at his appearance intensely. Raising a paw the kitsune touched the reflection, a confused yet excited chittering of yipping and giggling noises.
Turning to face us with a cracking of the sound barrier so suddenly the kitsune looked at us. His eyes essentially glowing with excitement and another emotion behind that one. Saying nothing we shook our heads in clear amusement. Suì-Fēng looks more accepting of this ordeal now given how positively excited and adorable the big kitsune is.
"Fine I can get used to something besides felines as this big child is just too adorable to not like. Say anything and I will stab you all."
"The cold assassin admits something is adorable, the Onmitsukidō will think it's the end of everything."
"Oh really? So you petting me in my feral form commenting on how fluffy a canine kitty I am means you never accepted anything but cats? You wound my puppy heart."
"Heh says the lady who named me Fox essentially but I'm a gracious kitsune and accept it. I can already tell I'm going to love this little family though with how you all act~. A tsundere, a hyperactive puppy cat, and a mess of a killer from a different world and life. Just makes me giggle in anticipation at how you'll react as parents and active killers."
"I hate you all!"
"""Nah you enjoy this you tsundere."""
Suì-Fēng's eye twitched as she stared at the three of us smirking and teasing her. The Captain class Shinigami sighing in defeat as a smile graced her lips. She used to be such a stick in the mud with things but a lot of throwing her off her game made her open up. Along with not obsessing with Yoruichi like a cult fanatic. With a kitsune in tow we headed to mine and my mother's home. Killing any Hollows and violent creatures along the way as we walked. A passing Shinigami who was on patrol of the town looked at us and recognized Suì-Fēng and me. So they stopped and bowed to us while making a report to us given our status in the Gotei 13.
"Captain Suì-Fēng, Vice-Captain Carrion I am Fujima of the thirteenth division. It's good to see you both and princess Pschent of the Anubis clan. Nothing major has happened that needs immediate attention, but weaker Hollows appearing in slightly larger numbers. Though if you wouldn't mind could you explain why you three are here and what the creature following you is?"
Shaking my head I go first as my hands slip into my pockets.
"I'm here as I'm the Onmitsukidō now in charge of the area. The big guy is Alopeke, a freshly named Guardian Kitsune who will be living with my family."
"Pleased to meet you Fujima-san"
Suì-Fēng followed up as she looked at the Shinigami with her usual stoic no nonsense bitch face.
"I was called here to meet my husband's mother after I finished some paperwork, given that we've never met. I'll be returning tomorrow after spending the evening and today with them."
Fujima looked startled at her words with their eyes trying to discern if this is a trick. But Pschent didn't care as she spoke up last.
"I'm the same as my Záwga visiting my Zōg and his mother for dinner. However, given everything I've seen today I'll be staying around as his adjutant. Wouldn't want him to drop dead on us after all since he's gotten us both pregnant."
The poor Shinigami broke and fled, likely to tell Captain Jūshirō Ukitake about this all. Though he's the one who married us together funnily enough with Kenpachi helping him. Never would've pictured that blood thirsty captain willingly helping with such a thing. Yet the man for once looked formal and tame as he covered the Egyptian side of the marriage. Which he chose to be a combat dance. Not a surprise. But his little lieutenant and as I remember faintly, probably wrongly, Zanpakutō spirit was excited about it.
Now I'm curious about why she feels like a Zanpakutō spirit, but I remember he's basically only using an unnamed Zanpakutō. As he's never heard her real name yet, yeah his sword is female if his tiny lieutenant is actually the Zanpakutō spirit. But that begs a question why is she manifested and why has he not fucking heard her name? Is he just that dense about anything not killing?
