Everything was finally coming together.
When he first entered the academy he was full of dreams that promptly got crushed as he was forced to realise that effort couldn't keep up with talent. He was at least fortunate enough to graduate with high enough performance to enter the sixth court squad. Yet, at that point, he had thought that was it for him.
To live his life as naught but a background character; mediating to the whimsical arguments & disputes that the "superior" nobles. At least there was some minor amusement to watching them squabble about pointless things like the order they ordered in. Especially with the bedlam outside the Seireitei's walls.
At least that was what he believed until one day he ran into the captain commander who just so happened to be strolling past his post.
For reasons he still didn't understand… That old man stopped to talk to him.
Asking about his opinions on seemingly random tactics about information he had randomly obtained through his years of dealing with bratty rich people. Stuff like how to lose in a way that was convincing while being entertaining. Then there was also his opinion on how to deal with the imbalance of power.
As should be obvious, at least at the very start, he was especially cautious when commenting on the issues between normal souls & the nobles. But over time the old man kept pushing. Seemingly a lot of his ideas (like giving everyone jobs with housing as payment) were groundbreaking to everyone.
Initially it just seemed like the old man was somewhat taken aback by his ideas and like that a couple days went by with no one he told even believing that really happened. What he didn't expect was to be abruptly called in by the head captain. In the meeting hall with all the captains was someone he never knew.
They were a beauty without match with a buxom body that was simply too big for mere mortals to wrest control with just mere hands.
Their hands are likely just sinking into that soft supple flesh.
She stood at the end of the hall with a kind smile and long lilac hair that complimented their soft features enough to help bring away from the fact their eyes were always closed. Upon their shoulders was even a haori like that of a captain… But with the kanji for kami written proudly upon it.
It was then that he was told to share his ideas which shocked those within the hallowed hall of the gotei 13 as they began to heatedly talk about how genius the idea was.
That beautiful buxom figure then began to speak and everyone else naturally quietened. With one simply command she set the wheels in place to implement his ideas - promptly setting him in command as it became clear just who she was. This mysterious woman who commandeered everyone…
Was the soul king themself!
While he was in shock she wasn't and quickly moved on to discuss more stuff before ordering him to stay in that hall with her as everyone else left. What was even more shocking was how she pushed him down only to begin begging him to marry her. Saying she had never seen anyone smarter or more handsome.
He then took her virginity right there in the hall with her carrying their first child as he was busy learning how to take over from the captain commander. Achieving bankai within that time where he promptly beat the captain commander in a duel. Just like that he sat ahead of all the captains.
His first wife stood beside him while rubbing her heavily pregnant belly while his other harem members did the exact same thing; just standing in the background.
The captain commander was walking towards him to place a glorious crown atop his head.
Outside he could hear a roaring as everyone celebrated…
Until he woke up.
"Oh are you finally with us mister… "
It was a beautiful voice, truly like the softest music, but the contents of the music must have been used to elicit feelings of horror as that is all he felt from it despite its beauty. He felt a soft hand slowly cup his cheek in what should have been a loving manner. Despite the intimacy of the act if someone came across most like a child inspecting a toy.
Eyes unconsciously turning towards that very hand as those dainty digits were tightly imprisoned under a thin but clearly high quality fabric.
Those gloves that usually reached up to her upper arms were scrunched up to reveal those very same slender arms to the world. Upon them were markings that seemed like dozens of closed eyes. Though he soon remembered the truth about them.
Still he couldn't help having his gaze wander up those arms that seemed oh so alluring despite being as white as wax was.
Ending up at her bare shoulders and even her collar bone. Crimson spread up his face as he backed up to see that even that girl's chest was practically on full display. She did wear what was technically a one-piece dress…
Only problem was the skirt being beyond mini while the top half only covered the bare minimum to be considered a dress with even her love handled open to admire. That tightly clinging skirt created a nice gap between her thigh highs that displayed her thighs. One seductively crossed over the other.
She did have belts with those leather additions holding her socks in place with a high heel soon coming up to wag in front of his face.
"You can drool over me later, boy."
Her voice didn't seem particularly offended as she turned to look at her small cute face that contained all the deviousness of a cat. Feline ears atop her head adorably twitching towards any noises they picked up with two silver rings in her left one. He usually didn't like flat dainty girls but the five foot feline…
*click*
*click*
That gloved hand rested in front of his face to literally snap him out of it.
A faint set of giggling made him finally acknowledge that they weren't the only ones in the room - on either side of the seductress was a pair of buxom broads. Munzumira's freehand, adorned in the billowing sleeve of her black cloak with purple fluffy edges, sank into their flesh. Eliciting the occasional moan.
She only stopped to pull her over sleeve over her bare arm (as well as pull her glove back up) as she leaned back into her chair to continue fondling the pair of women.
Behind the trio were even a pair of figures - about the height of the cat - hunched over a table playing some kind of board game.
Something that Munzumira had introduced among the many forms of entertainment.
That cat is doing more than just making whore houses like the one they currently are within; she had truly revolutionised the Rukon districts.
Still he could only focus on how her hands slipped under the dresses of the women who in turn pressed themselves against her. Though it wasn't the cat that was mewling. A mixture of heat and jealousy overcame him yet it wouldn't amount to much against the one in front of him.
"Now that you are awake and given your payment… Share why I keep you around."
Her words callous as the two women beside her shivered as the coldness that overtook the room that seemed to be darker than when he first entered.
"T-the captain of the twelfth squad has shown knowledge of you while discussing you with the tenth as well as eighth squad captains. She mentioned something about you gathering information. It seems like shes on to y-"
He found himself unable to continue as something slimy abruptly slithered up his body only to tightly coil around his neck. Those within the room didn't seem particularly surprised at this with the one likely responsible still fondling her girls "girls". Though those crimson eyes did narrow.
A quick glance at his knees revealed the source being an inky tentacle that escaped from his shadow.
Or maybe it was the shadow itself?
The amusement from her face was gone as he could feel that tendril slowly lifting itself up from his shadow yet he knew it wouldn't end until he was hanging from the ceiling.
But he still resisted the urge to claw at that appendage as he knew from experience that it would do nothing except bring her amusement. Once it came to dealing with the monster in front of him… That was the last thing you wanted to provide her if it came from your suffering.
"I politely asked you to gather information on her not tell me the fucking obvious…"
"B-b-b-"
"Bu bu bu bu bu but nothing, we both agreed I would give you your payment ahead of time, did I not let you experience the euphoria of living through your dream future?"
Even if he didn't want to he knew better than lying so promptly nodded as he began to feel that tentacle lift him off his knees causing him to enter some kind of strange half squat.
"Then why have you told me nothing but something anyone could have guessed; you don't become a captain by just fumbling around in the dark. They are people who know the value of information. More so after their recent loss against the very bastard I'm trying to…"
Cutting herself off as she claws dug into flesh more violently than before - causing the women beside her to let out pained squeals they promptly tried to suppress. She ignored that though she did retreat from their dresses in favour to reach her hand out. A smoking pipe suddenly erupted from the room's shadows.
Another tentacle carried it up to her hand where she promptly clicked her fingers to generate a chilling black flame that she had danced under the head.
A crimson smoke like blood began to rise from the headpiece as she brought the mouth piece to pass rest against her salmon pink-adorned lips. Sounds of her deep breath was all that filled the room except for the occasional giggles from the pair behind her. Soon that mist leaked out from the sides of her mouth.
The soul reaper's mind ran at speeds he didn't even know it could as he searched through his memories for the smallest secret that could save his life. At the same time he found himself slowly rising more and more with the knowledge that he only had so long left. Hands twitching as he resisted his instincts.
Being confronted with his mortality after being presented with his wildest fantasies made everything ten times more terrifying than usual.
Then it clicked.
"THEY MENTIONED A BASTARD!"
His sudden shout caused that tentacle to stop lifting him just as he was on his tippy toes.
Looking down at the porcelain doll-like Munzumira revealed her perfectly maintained brow slightly raised as her tail lazily wagged behind her. Ears pointed directly towards him in obvious interest. Showing that more obviously as she waved her pipe at him as if telling him to continue on.
"They ended up talking about some random deaths happening in the Seireitei only for the 12th's captain to interrupt them. Telling them it was probably this unkillable bastard so they should drop it. I-I don't know for sure if he's the one you want but I figure if anyone could catch your interest it'd be someone like that."
She just looked at him a moment longer while tapping her chin with the end of her pipe; after what felt like hours that shinigami found himself dropped by the tendril.
Collapsing to the ground as he began to suck up oxygen despite it not being that tight.
"Then keep up the good work sen~pai~♥"
Her bright smile as she leaned over by his head was more teasing than serious.
Although he wasn't about to argue as he rushed out the room as soon as the opportunity presented itself to him in the form of the shadows horrifyingly retreating back into themselves to reveal an open doorway.
"Soon it may be time to get to work…"
