Chapter 33: Little Kitty
Yoruichi Shihōin shook her head. "No need to go to the Soul King Palace. We're heading to the 4th Division."
Masatsuki Aozaki raised a brow. "The 4th Division? Are you saying they have a healing hot spring there? But Captain Unohana has never mentioned anything like that..."
"That's because Tenjirō Kirinji only left behind a tiny amount of the hot spring water—barely enough to be useful," Yoruichi said, pinching her fingers together to illustrate the point.
"When Kirinji was still in Seireitei, the Urahara family had a good relationship with him. He also saw great potential in Kisuke, so he specifically left a portion of the hot spring for him."
"But Kisuke was still a kid back then, so it was temporarily stored in the 4th Division until he grew up and joined the Gotei 13."
"Then why not just let Kisuke take it himself? Why go through the trouble of stealing it?" Masatsuki asked.
"Because this way is more fun," Yoruichi grinned. "See? I'm good to you—I always think of you first when there's something exciting to do."
Masatsuki sighed and covered his face. He really should have expected this.
Then, something caught his eye—a black cloak hanging on the wall. His gaze brightened.
"If I go along with this, what's in it for me?"
"That hot spring belongs to Kisuke. At most, we'd just be borrowing it. It's not really ours."
