21 Chapter 21: Spirits?

"Finally, those ten hours really took a long time. I wonder what Jasmine up to right now."

After returning from his sea of consciousness, Yun Che was back to his own body. He was about to open his eyes but…..

"Milord ? Are you awake? My lord, my lord, please answer me". The voice pleaded.

Milord ? Whose voice was this? All I remember was Jasmine was the only one in my inner world. If she started to call me 'My Lord', I rather have Zangetsu shoved his feet up my ass.

Wait, Jasmine's voice was young and quite had this arrogant tone. This voice sound rather womanly and it was quite soothing to hear. As Yun Che was figuring out the mysterious voice, another voice entered his ear.

"Calm down my lady, his connection with our souls finally restored itself. He'll wake up very soon."

That voice, Old man Zangetsu?

"Hmph…This bastard, let me have a few round with his face. I am sure a few slaps and some kicks would wake him up."

'Ah, that voice.'Yun Che sweat dropped. That was the voice of his hollow.

Wait..How did they get into my inner world?

"No, don't you dare harm my lord. He'll wake up soon. I can feel his feelings through us again." The soothing voice sounds once more.

"Can you all stop bickering? He'll wake up soon enough. The disciple of this princess isn't going to die so easily. If he really does, I'll find him in the afterlife and kill him again."

That voice, Jasmine? She talked to them? How?

"All right, now the time to wake up before Hoyuu slaps the living hell of out me." Yun Che finally grunts as if he was waking up from a long slumber. As he was opening his eyes....

"Hmph, about time you wake up. This princess was started to get bored. I assume the process was completed?" Jasmine asked Yun Che.

"Yeah, it was." Yun Che slowly getting up.

"This world change a lot. What happen?" Yun Che asked Jasmine.

His world changed a lot after the upgrade. Previously, the sky in his world has two layers of color. Now, his inner world sky is divided into three colors. One part of the sky was red, another part is green and the last one was blue. The sky was still full of stars. Yun Che felt his Evil God powers came from the red part of the sky, his Sky Poison Pearl from the green part and his Soul powers came from the blue part of the sky. The cloud formation was expanding and it was becoming even more beautiful. The System orb was getting larger and shinier. Almost resembles a star.

His land was expanding rapidly. It was now a size of a football field. Yun Che was currently under a massive tree. Jasmine said, the suddenly grew from the middle part of the land. The tree was big but it had no leaves on it. Yun Che sense his Profound Spirit Force was inside the tree. He assumed the tree grew after successive fusion in his power sources.

He was shocked when he saw Jasmine. She was wearing a snow blue kimono with a red sash around her waist. Seeing her in that, he was quite speechless for a while. She was quite beautiful and Yun Che was stunned by her. But the real question is….

"Where did you get these clothes?" Yun Che asked her.

As she was about to answer….

"Milord!!! You finally up, I was so worried."A woman was sprinting towards him and immediately tackled him to the ground.

"Ekkkk, so cold and quite soft actually". Yun Che realised that his head was on top of her bosom. That feeling, it was softer than any pillow he slept before.

'No..no..no…now not the time for that.' Yun Che finally takes a good look at the owner of the soothing voice. She was a pale-skinned young woman with icy blue eyes. She has long, pale lavender hair, which is partially tied up in the back in a long bun and falls behind her shoulders while a strand falls between her eyes, and is parted on the left side of her head by a blue, star-shaped hair clip. She wears a white kimono with large sleeves and a long hem, and has a pale yellow-green obi wrapped around her waist which is attached to a large, pale purple bow on her back.

She was beautiful. She was comparable to Jasmine herself.

"This is...." Yun Che slowly murmured.

"Sode No Shirayuki" Yun Che slowly said.

"Milord, you recognised me? Even you never met me before? I am so happy." She immediately cried and started to hug Yun Che once more. For a Zanpakuto, for their master to recognized them is the sign of their master acknowledge them. Of course Yun Che knows her. She was one of his 2D crushes in his previous world.

"Hmph…It's about time you wake up. One more second and I might shove my feet down your throat." Hoyuu was speaking while looking at him, smiling creepily.

"Nice to be up as well, Hoyuu." Yun Che looked at him while smiling as well.

[Ding…affinity with Hoyuu increased by 5]

Ah yes, affinity. These points are awarded if the relationship between him and his Zanpakuto improved. 0 being the lowest and 100 is the highest. Since Zangetsu was a male, the relationship at 100 is as close as brothers for him. He rather dies if it goes beyond.

"Looks like you have grown stronger boy." Old man Zangetsu interjects.

"Yeah, 'stronger'." Sort of. Yun Che hides his level for now. If he tells them, who knows what might they do to him.

"Ara…Hsss…, your aura grows stronger. You are worthy enough to be my master after all." A sexy and alluring voice suddenly enters Yun Che's ears.

This voice….

A white snake suddenly emerge beside him. The snake was snow white and had red eyes. Yun Che was quite shock because this was his first time seeing a talking snake.

"Did I just die or went crazy? I saw a snake talking to me." He started to ask his spirits.

"Hey hssss, that's rude. Hssss…." the snake replied him.

"THE SNAKE TALKS...." Yun Che pretending to be shocked again.

"Hsss….this guy asking for a beating…hsss.. " The snake was preparing its tail to slap the living shit out of him.

"Hahaha…can't help it. This is my first time seeing a talking snake. So I assume you are Zabimaru? "Yun Che regains his bearing.

"In the flesh….Hssss…I don't have my human form yet. My human will be available if you mastered bankai with me….hsss…"Zabimaru answered his question.

"One day for sure, Zabimaru. How did all of you in here anyway? I thought you can't enter my inner world?" Yun Che asked his spirits.

"Milord, ever since our connection was off. I ….I mean we..started to worry about you. Everyone was. So we enter your world in order to look for you. We saw a young lady was sitting in front of you. We thought she was the one who defeated you. But, we sense no malice from even if she was covered in blood. So we didn't try to harm her. Ever since then we just stand guard in front of your body...…"

*drip

A tear suddenly fell on Yun Che's hand.

"Please, don't ever severe the connection. The feeling was too much to bear." She immediately hugged Yun Che once more. She started to cry again remember the feeling of being severe by her master.

"Well, Jasmine explained to us about your situation. Hoyuu was about to go full hollow on you. Knowing that you immediately died after being resurrected." Old man Zangetsu explained.

"You are my king but being a whiny bitch is one of my forte. If it wasn't for that red haired brat explained things, I would obliterate your body." Hoyuu immediately point the sword in front of his face.

Removing the sword, Yun Che pats Sode No Shirayuki's head to assure her. "I am sorry everyone. The reconstruction process requires absolute silence and no interference. I didn't mean it. This will be the first and last, I promise."

"It better be" Zabimaru said.

"umu" old man Zangetsu said.

"Do it again you bastard, I might kick your ass for fun" Hoyuu said.

"Promise me Milord, promise you wouldn't do it again?" Shirayuki looked at him with tears in her eyes.

"I promised" he replied still patting her head.

As Jasmine watches his interaction with Shirayuki, she felt an uneasy feeling in her heart. She immediately shakes it off and said.

"Yun Che, aren't you forgetting something?"

"Forget what?" As soon as he asked….

"Onii- chan!!!!!" Two voices sounded behind him and it was getting closer and closer.

"Ehhh??!!???" Yun Che was shocked.

"What in the...….UGGHhh…" the sources of the voices immediately lands on his torso.

As soon as his eyes were clear, he saw twin girls wearing priestess or Miko outfit. Miko outfit have red skirt but they are wearing blue instead of it. The girls have green eyes and long white hair. They looked really beautiful as if they were blessed by the heavens. Too bad they looked like ten year old kids in his eyes.

"This aura…Sogyo No Kotowari?" Yun Che immediately identifies them.

"Nii-chan is okay, Nii-chan is okay." The girls immediately surround him as if they found a new toy to play with.

"Nii-chan, are you okay? Are you hurt somewhere? That pretty nee-chan said you went to heaven just now. Do you bring candy for us?" Yun Che was bombarded with questions from the twins.

"I am okay, see? I am as strong as ever." Yun Che reassured them.

"Ne nii-chan? Are you going to heaven again? We can't feel you if you're going to heaven again. It hurts to feel it." The girls started to cry after saying that.

Yun Che always fond of little girls especially beautiful lolis. He is not idiot enough to be thrown into jail if he knows what it means. Another thing he hates the most is seeing a girl crying in front of him. Especially little girls.

"No…no..no…I am not going anymore. If I am going, I promised to take you along." Yun Che reassured the girls to prevent them from crying again.

"Really, yeay…nii –chan going to take us to heaven." The twin girls were happy once more. Going around and around of him. Jasmine only said he went to heaven but they can't feel the connection.

"It's getting lively in here. Never expect your spirits care for you." Jasmine said while looking at him.

"Yeah, they care." Yun Che said to her.

After going through a round of reassuring, Yun Che send his spirits back to their world and promised to visit them later.

"Nii-chan, you must come and play with us later." The twins said while still pulling his cheeks.

"All-right, all right. After this I'll come and play with you girls." Yun Che said before sending them back.

"Hsss…boy…I'll be waiting for you to give me a human form…as you promised and maybe I'll have a little taste of that new powers of yours..Hsss.." Zabimaru winked at him before entering its world as well.

"Did I just get hit on by a snake?" this action immediately send chills down his spine.

"Milord, I'll be waiting for you to use me to your heart's content." She bows to him and Jasmine before reentering her world.

"That really can misunderstanding you know" he said but he was sure Shirayuki disappears before she could hear it. He looked at Jasmine but he only heard one word from her.

"Disgusting, humph"

'Its not my fault. Their teasing might put me in trouble one day.' He said in his heart while shook his head.
