Chapter 1096: Masaki Kurosaki Returns to the Kurosaki Family
Chapter 1096: Masaki Kurosaki Returns to the Kurosaki Family
"I told you, don't pull any stunts. If he had just released his Bankai and slashed, Masaki Kurosaki would have been gone, and that would have been a disaster.
If it happens again, I won't be able to revive Masaki Kurosaki. If you want to reunite the family, you'd have to take care of the rest of you as well."
Upon hearing Yecheng's words, Kenpachi Kurosaki wore a pained yet amused expression.
He had actually tried to dissuade Masaki from such reckless behavior, but his wife insisted that she hadn't seen her children in nine years and wanted to surprise Ichigo. What could he do?
Yecheng's voice was loud enough for Ichigo, who was standing nearby, to hear everything clearly.
Turning his head and seeing his mother, Masaki Kurosaki, smiling at him, Ichigo was finally moved. He stepped forward and tightly embraced her.
Since his mother, Masaki Kurosaki, had died protecting him, Ichigo had never cried again and had resolved to protect his family.
But today, now a high school student and a seasoned warrior, Ichigo wept like a child in his mother's arms.
It was impossible to overstate the significance of Masaki Kurosaki to Ichigo. Without her influence, there would be no Ichigo Kurosaki today.
"So, Dad was being so secretive and staying out all night because of this?"
Ichigo was quite upset that Kenpachi had kept the revival of Masaki Kurosaki a secret from him.
He had always felt guilty about his mother's death and believed that if he had known about her revival, he could have helped a lot.
"Alright, we can't really blame your father. The fewer people who know about this, the better.
And I hope you can keep it confidential that I was revived with Yecheng's help.
Reviving the dead is a shocking matter. Your Uncle Yecheng doesn't want too many people to know about it."
"Uncle Yecheng..."
Hearing his mother's reminder, the rebellious teenager could only nod obediently, but the way Masaki referred to Yecheng made Ichigo's teeth grind.
"I've been friends with Yecheng for a long time, and he's a great benefactor to our family. Is there something wrong with calling him Uncle Yecheng?"
Masaki and Kenpachi had known Yecheng even before they were married. Yecheng and Rangiku had even attended their wedding.
So Masaki thought it was only natural for her son to consider Yecheng an elder.
Seeing her son's awkward expression, Masaki was about to scold Ichigo, but Kenpachi pulled her aside and whispered to her.
"Masaki, you should know that I originally came from the Shihōin family in Soul Society. The current head of the Shihōin family, Kaien Shihōin, is actually my nephew.
Kaien and his wife have been trying to arrange a marriage between their sister, Kukaku, and Yecheng. You are Kukaku's aunt.
So if you have Ichigo call Yecheng Uncle..."
Masaki instantly understood Kenpachi's point.
What a wonderful idea! Yecheng had done so much for both the Shihōin and Kurosaki families. If they could become in-laws, it would be a joyous occasion for her.
"That Ichigo... I just thought of something. Yecheng is a good friend, but in terms of age, he’s much younger than your dad, so you can just call him Big Brother Yecheng.
By the way, let’s hurry home. I want to see Karin and Yuzu. When I died, they were still babies, right? I wonder if they remember me as their mom?"
The Kurosaki household was undoubtedly bustling today. Karin and Yuzu had long grown accustomed to Ichigo often bringing friends, and even some odd characters, home.
When they saw their slacker dad and brother walk in, Karin and Yuzu didn’t react much, but they were quite pleased to see Yecheng by their side.
Big Brother Yecheng was different from the other freeloaders who would drop by. He always brought them gifts and was funny and charming, unlike Ichigo’s other friends who would just cause a ruckus.
As Karin and Yuzu stepped forward to welcome Yecheng, they froze when they saw the figure behind the group.
True, when Masaki Kurosaki died, Karin and Yuzu were too young to remember much about their mother. But that didn’t mean they were unfamiliar with her.
After all, their mother was always honored in the house, and even now, Masaki’s portrait still hung in the living room.
"Karin, Yuzu, this is your mother, Masaki Kurosaki."
Though they had expected it, Karin and Yuzu were still both excited and puzzled when they heard Kenpachi Kurosaki confirm it with his own words.
They were excited because from today on, their family would finally be complete. But they were puzzled because their mother was supposed to be dead, and her portrait had been in the house for nine years. How could she suddenly come back to life?
Karin, who had an incredibly strong spiritual energy and could see spirits and Hollows just like Ichigo, had some theories about her mother’s return.
But Yuzu was a regular person, and those explanations wouldn’t work for her.
"You can think of it this way: Mom actually lost her memory and ended up far away. Your brother and I thought she had died.
It wasn’t until recently that Big Brother Yecheng ran into your mother and helped her regain her memory, bringing her back home."
This was the story Kenpachi and Ichigo had agreed on while on the way home.
After all, neither Kenpachi nor Ichigo wanted to drag Karin and Yuzu into any trouble.
They would handle the big issues, and the young Karin and Yuzu could just live a peaceful and healthy life as ordinary people.
Karin was mature and calm, while Yuzu was lively and sensible. Masaki was quite satisfied with how Kenpachi had raised them.
Though Masaki was now a mother, she still retained some childlike qualities. This, combined with the blood connection, made it easy for her to bond with her two adorable daughters.
To celebrate Masaki’s return, the Kurosaki family held a welcoming party. Ichigo’s friends, who had been unable to leave earlier, were also invited.
Keigo, Orihime, and Uryū were quite surprised when they saw Masaki. They knew that Ichigo’s mother had been dead for a long time.
But when they saw Yecheng, they understood instantly. If Yecheng was involved, then nothing was strange anymore.
