Goddess of Ice: Corrupting Bleach

Chapter 52: Within Seireitei

***Author Note***

Sorry for not posting for a while, I was rather sick and couldn't write without getting a headache. I'm much better now, so here's a chapter.

***End of Author Note***

Since Aizen left Seireitei, a resemblance of calmness had returned to the city. Currently, all the remaining Captains were gathered in the headquarters of the 1st Division, where Yamamoto called them for a meeting of the Captains.

Currently, the only person missing was the Captain Commander himself, who would be arriving any second now.

However, currently, everyone present couldn't help but look at the single black-haired woman in their mids in confusion. The person most surprised by her presence here was undoubtedly Captain Ukitake.

"Hisoka? Why are you here, and how come you're wearing a Captain's cloak?"

"Well, a lot of things happened due to all kinds of reasons, so I wanted not to reveal my true strength. However, considering the mess that happened, I decided to do so no longer and step up my game, taking the position of Captain."

"Oh? To think you were that strong. I didn't notice in the slightest."

"Yeah, sorry about that, Captain Ukitake."

"Frankly, I don't trust you in the slightest."

While Ukitake was accepting Hisoka's apology with a kind smile, Soi Fon couldn't help but comment on the situation, stating that she didn't trust Hisoke.

"Well, it can't be helped that you don't trust me, Captain Soi Fon, but since the Captain Commander agreed to my promotion, there really isn't much that can be done. Besides, I can't do anything about you trusting me or not, but if you want, we can have a sparring match, so I can at least prove that I'm strong enough for the position."

Hearing Hisoka's suggestion, Soi Fon briefly pondered on it before nodding her head in agreement.

"Very well, I can't help but be a little interested in what you are capable of."

Before anyone else could talk any further, Yamamoto entered the room, instantly silencing everyone else.

He let his gaze wander around the attending Captains before letting it linger on Unohana.

"Where have you been these last two weeks, Captain Unohana?"

Hearing the Captain Commander's question, Unohana smiled lightly before she started talking.

"It's a little shameful to admit, but I got defeated by one of the intruders and was consequently captured. Luckily, despite me not being present, no one died during this whole debacle."

While a few Captains frowned hearing that Unohana was captured, those who knew who she really was couldn't help but raise their eyebrows in confusion.

"Are you saying that someone managed to overpower you in a proper battle? Maybe your opponent used some kind of scheme to trick you?"

This time, it was Shinsui's turn to speak, and after hearing what he had to say, Unohana simply shook her head in denial.

"Unfortunately not. It was a proper one-on-one battle, which after quite a while of fighting, I could only admit my defeat."

"Who was the one who defeated you?"

Hearing the Captain Commander asking a question this time, everyone paid closer attention to what Unohana was about to say. None of the people present hoped that she would say the name everyone wanted to hear the least. Unfortunately...

"It was Yuna who defeated me."

... the worst-case scenario happened, and the one who was capable of defeating one of the strongest Captains was also the one who left with Aizen, resulting in an additional powerful foe.

Realizing just how hard the battle against Aizen would be, Yamamoto sighed deeply.

"Her little brother told me she was stronger than him; it seems like he was telling the truth. How troublesome. Everyone will need to increase their training if they want to get through the future war in one piece."

""""""""""YES!!!""""""""""

Hearing everyone confirming that they listened to his order, Yamamoto sighed yet again as he decided to sharpen himself some more as well.

'It's been a while since I did anything but basic training. Let's see how this old body of mine will react to doing something a little more stressful.'

Meanwhile, Rangiku was looking out of a window with a sad expression on her face. Despite being rather distant all the time, Rangiku had a lot of positive feelings for Gin, as he had been her childhood friend. If she had to put her finger on it, she would say that she considered him to be somewhat of a bigger brother.

"What are you sighing for, sister-in-law?"

"HIKYA!!!"

Suddenly hearing someone talk behind her, Rangiku exclaimed in surprise, causing her breasts to shake, bringing them dangerously close to spilling out.

"D-Damn, that scared me. They almost popped out."

Seeing Rangiku's shaking breasts, the person who had just appeared behind her could only smile wryly.

"Seriously, considering it is nee-san, I wouldn't be surprised if she spent some while scouting the city, looking for the woman with the biggest boobs so that she can seduce her."

[Pretty sure that's exactly what had happened.]

While Naruto was talking, Rangiku slowly turned around to see who had suddenly appeared behind her, and seeing a young man with long blonde spiky hair and deep blue eyes, she briefly tilted her head in confusion before a lightbulb appeared above her head.

"You are Yuna's little brother, right? Mhh, Naruto, right?"

"Correct~ Nee-san told me you might be troubled due to Gin's departure, so I decided to come over to take a look. Seems like she was right."

Hearing Naruto's words, Rangiku raised her eyebrows in doubt.

"I DID tell her about Gin, but how do you know about that? Or rather, when did she have time to tell you about that?"

As soon as Rangiku finished speaking, Naruto pulled out a small piece of paper and handed it over to Rankiku.

"While she was leaving with Aizen, she managed to leave some hidden signs behind that only I would notice, leading me to a hidden place where she had left me a message. Well, it was mostly a name list of women she seduced, so I know who not to go after."

However, Rangiku barely heard Naruto's words as her gaze was fixed on the piece of paper she was holding. She couldn't help but be dumbfounded by what was written on it.

"Sup, Rangiku, sorry for the quick departure. I almost missed my ride to the next fun location, so I was kind of in a hurry and couldn't say goodbye properly. Not sure how long I will mess... I mean, stay with Aizen, but this might take a while. Luckily, I have enough cake with me to last me a while, as I'm not sure if I will be able to make new ones within Hueco Mundo.

Anyway, don't worry about Gin or me, and just relax. Everything will turn out all right.

With love

Yuna.

p.s: Oh yeah, I almost forgot about that. Gin plans to betray Aizen, so there is no need to be sad due to his actions."

"WRITE THAT LAST PART FIRST!!!"

Hearing Rangiku's outburst, Naruto could only chuckle in amusement while sitting down, followed by an annoyed-looking Rangiku doing the same. As soon as both of them were seated, there was a knock on the door, and moments later, it opened, revealing an annoyed-looking Tatsuki.

"What the hell, Naruto? Don't just leave like th... WHO THE HELL IS THIS!?"

Initially, Tatsuki was only annoyed that Naruto suddenly claimed that he had to meet someone, but now she was somewhat angry that the person Naruto wanted to meet was actually a beautiful woman with huge breasts.

Seeing the anger in Tatsuki's eyes, Naruto smiled wryly while raising his hand to pacify her.

"Now, now, no need to get angry. This is Rangiku, and she is part of nee-san's harem. She asked me to check on her."

The moment Naruto said that Tatsuki's gaze snapped toward Rangiku, looking at her in disbelief.

"Is that really true?"

"Yup~"

Tatuki couldn't help but be dumbfounded when she heard Rangiku answering her question without a second of hesitation. Obviously, she already knew what Yuna was planning to do, and she even heard Hinata say that Yuna had picked up a few women during her stay within Seireitei, but hearing about it and seeing it live are completely different things.

"Isn't it... weird? You know, to sleep with more than one person."

Tatsuki couldn't help but ask what Rangiku thought about her relationship with Yuna. While Hinata seemed to be, at worst, slightly annoyed by Yuna's behavior, Hinata was part of the weirdo trio from the start, so Tatsuki knew that she had a weird mindset from the start. Rangiku, on the other hand, hopefully, could provide her with a different point of view about this whole harem matter. She simply couldn't help but be curious about the whole situation.

"Mhh, it certainly was a little weird at the start, but that feeling diminished rather quickly as everyone seemed to be getting along really well. If I had to describe it, every day was pretty much like hanging around with a bunch of good friends, but occasionally something erotic would happen."

"S-Seriously?"

"Now that I think about it, that's bullshit. Erotic things would happen often instead of occasionally."

After Rangiku finished "correcting" her initial statement, Tatsuki couldn't help but facepalm.

'Seriously, is Yuna simply surrounding herself with perverts, or are people becoming perverts after spending time with her?'

Seeing that Tatsuki appeared to be deep in thought, Rangiku shrugged her shoulders as she got up from her seated position and vanished into another room. Moments later, she reappeared, holding three glasses and a bottle.

"Anyway, let's drink! We'll be toating how much of an idiot Gin is for pulling something like this. Now that I think about it, Yuna did the same, so let's toast about her being an idiot as well!"

"Naruto and I are still minors, so we aren't allowed to drink yet."

As soon as Tatsuki finished speaking, she looked at Naruto, causing her face to scrunch up. He was currently frozen in place, holding the already opened bottle in one hand and one of the glasses in the other. Clearly, he was about to pour himself a drink.

"Naruto?"

"*Cough* Come on, Tatsuki. No need to be all stiff. Let's enjoy a little drink."

"Naruto! That's illegal!"

"Mah, I doubt there are any cops dedicated enough to kill themselves to reach Soul Society to capture me. It's fine, it's fine, this isn't the first time I have drunk alcohol~"

"What!? You have drunk alcohol before?"

"Yup; it can be pretty fun if you don't drink too much~"

Seeing Naruto and his girlfriend quarreling in front of her, Rangiku chuckled in amusement as she poured herself a drink and took a sip.

'That's to the two idiots in my life. Cheers... Yuna... Gin.'

Although it took him a while, Naruto finally managed to convince Tatsuki to take a sip, which she did with caution. However, just after swallowing the drink, she couldn't help but look at her glass with some interest.

"This is delicious!"

Hearing Tatsuki's exclamation, Rangiku nodded in approval.

"Indeed, it's one of the many bottles Yuna left me behind. Not sure where she got this stuff, but her drinks always taste the best. I deliberately chose something not too strong, as I knew you might not be used to drinking."

While Tatsuki simply nodded her head, alarm bells started ringing in Naruto's mind when Rangiku mentioned that this was something not too strong.

'This... is probably a trap. Pretty sure Rangiku should be a somewhat heavy drinker, and I hardly get too drunk either, so this trap was likely aimed at Tatsuki, who nee-san probably predicted to come here following me. I see, so that is why she asked me to visit Rangiku. She wanted to mess with Tatsuki.'

[Isn't that too far-fetched?]

'It's nee-san, after all.'

[Mhh, true.]

Meanwhile, in Hueco Mundo, Yuna was leaning on a window, watching the world around her.

'I hope Rangiku likes the drinks I left her behind~'

[Did you seriously not mess with that stuff?]

'I don't mess with good alcohol. That goes against my principles of being a heavy drinker.'

[Tsunade.]

'I wasn't messing with the drink itself; I was messing with the bottles containing them.'

[You sure use your narrative how it fits, don't you?]

'I do, but you already knew that.'

[True.]

Back in Seireitei, Tatsuki's face was lightly flushed by now, while Naruto and Rangiku still seemed to be as clear-minded as before.

'What going on here? Although Tatsuki hasn't drunk that much yet, she should be much more drunken than she currently is if this was one of nee-san's tricks. Is this alcohol... something that isn't rigged!?'

[It's a miracle. O-Oi, are you crying!?]

'N-No.'

While Naruto was getting emotional about Yuna not pulling a prank for once, Rangiku couldn't help but look at him weirdly.

'What's his problem? Why does he suddenly look like he is about to cry?'

Pondering the situation a little longer, Rangiku decided not to bother with this matter and simply shrugged her shoulders, taking another sip.

Meanwhile, Tatsuki couldn't help but be surprised by how good everything Rangiku pulled out tasted. Additionally, she could feel herself get a little drunk, making her feel floaty. However, despite feeling herself losing control a little, it wasn't a bad feeling. However, she also realized that things might be dangerous if she pushed drinking too far.

'I consider myself to be rather strong-willed, but I can already feel my control over my desires slipping away. The more I drink, the easier I can convince myself to drink even more. This might actually be pretty dangerous. I shouldn't drink anymore... Well, one more probably wouldn't hurt anybody~'

"Rangiku, could you please pour me another cup?"

"Haha, of course! Another drink is coming right up. Let's see; this time, let's take this bottle~"

Seeing Rangiku pour his girlfriend another drink, Naruto briefly considered stopping Tatsuki from drinking more, but in the end, he decided to let this matter escalate a bit further.

'I'm still clear-minded, so the worst that could happen is Tatsuki waking up tomorrow morning with a killer headache, which should be possible to heal using Kido.'

And so, the day continued, with the trio happily drinking away. As they were drinking, Ichigo briefly met them, asking whether they had seen Rukia, but after denying that, he quickly took off in search of her, making Naruto chuckle.

'Seriously, she is missing again? Probably should install some kind of tracker on her leg or something like that. Oh well, I'm sure she will reappear soon.

A while later, Kira entered to room as well and joined the trio, helping Rangiku occasionally curse Aizen, as he previously was Kira's Captain. Unfortunately, Kira was pretty much a lightweight and was knocked out even before Tatsuki could get too drunk, making her laugh like a sailor, which Naruto found incredibly amusing.

'Damn, I should have brought something to record her laughing like that. Showing her a video of herself laughing like that is sure to get a rise out of her.'

Just like that, noon passed, and it became night, with occasional other people walking past the group of drunkards, but none joining it, and just like that, a new day came.

*Groan*

A loud groan escaped Tatsuki's mouth as she held her head in pain. Although she went through worse, she couldn't help but feel uncomfortable due to being hung over.

'Urgh, so this is what it feels like to wake up after drinking too much. Well, I had a lot of fun yesterday, so I guess this is the price I need to pay for that.'

"You were amazing yesterday, Tatsuki~"

Hearing someone speaking to her from directly next to her, Tatsuki stiffened and mechanically turned her head to the source of the voice.

There, she saw Naruto looking at her with clear blue eyes and messy blonde hair while resting his head on one of his hands. Most importantly, the bed sheet had slipped off from him, revealing his naked upper body, causing Tatsuki to freeze.

She quickly puzzled together her current situation from the words Naruto just spoke and the way he currently looked, causing her eyes to widen.

'N-No way. D-D-Did we...'

Tatsuki got up from her lying position instantly, causing the sheets to slip from her body as well, revealing...

...her to be fully clothed.

"Eh?"

Obviously, Tatsuki expected herself to be naked, but looking down at her body, she still wore the same clothes she wore yesterday. Although they were rather wrinkly, there was no doubt they were the same clothes.

She looked around in confusion, and seconds later, she noticed Naruto looking at her with a teasing smirk, immediately causing her to put the real puzzle together.

"Y-Y-You are messing with me! We didn't sleep with each other at all!"

"Hehe, what are you talking about? We clearly slept with each other. Look, we are still lying in the same bed."

A tick mark appeared on Tatsuki's forehead as she briefly pondered, giving Naruto a good smack. However, she decided not to do so for now and asked a question instead.

"Why didn't you do anything? No matter how I look at it, considering how drunk I was, I might have actually agreed."

Hearing Tatsuki's question, Naruto chuckled in amusement before a serious expression appeared on his face.

"I won't lie to you, I DO want to have sex with you, but I don't want you to be intoxicated during our first time. Let's be honest here; even if we did it, you probably would barely remember any of it."

Although Tatsuki flushed a little due to Naruto's words, in the end, she couldn't help but smile a little due to his words and give him a hug.

"Thank you for being so considerate of me, Naruto."

"Hehe, no big deal. So... Sexy time?"

"You do realize that you just ruined the moment, right?"

"Yeah, sorry. It lies in the family."

Hearing Naruto's excuse, Tatsuki could only sigh deeply while facepalming.

'Seriously, what have I gotten myself into? Am I seriously dating this weirdo?"

As those thoughts passed her mind, she glanced at Naruto, who was currently giving her a cheeky smile, causing herself to smile as well.

"You are an idiot, Naruto."

"Hahaha, I'm your idiot, Tatsuki!"

Seeing Naruto's smile brighten even further, Tatsuki couldn't help but chuckle a little as she leaned her head against Naruto's shoulder.

"Yeah, you are my idiot, Naruto."

"So, se..."

"I WILL punch you."
