It was me Sora, I mastermind your cockblock (105)

Sora exhaled a bit. This fight wasn't really long per se, just annoying. He had spent the vast majority of it not even allowing his enemy to power up.

He wondered—if his opponent could boost their power a hundredfold, would it be strong enough for Sora?

Probably not. At worst, he'd have to use his adaptation. At best, he'd just strip him of his connection with his blade.

Speaking of which, he couldn't do that to Aizen, as the bastard had like 75% more Reiatsu than Sora.

Aizen's Reiatsu pool seemed immense. Though it was lower than that very scary old man... by now, Sora had a rough guess that Aizen's Reiatsu had even surpassed Yamamoto's.

Cool.

Now, time to get back to the important stuff.

He had a cherry to pop.

Namely, getting back to his very important business before any more unwelcome interruptions.

But before Sora could do what he had started, he was stopped... again.

"Sora..." Orihime's voice was soft, filled with concern.

Aw, she seemed worried about him. How cute.

He turned to her, his expression easing slightly. "Yeah?"

"You seemed... really angry," she hesitated, looking between him and the battlefield of ruined mountains, shattered rubble, and what was left of Yammy.

Which, to be fair, was nothing. Yammy's main soul—his anchor soul—had been destroyed, meaning every single soul trapped inside his body had escaped back into the reincarnation cycle.

Nifty. Adaptation.

Sora rubbed the back of his head. "Well, yeah. They attacked out of nowhere." He conveniently left out why he was particularly pissed off.

No need to tell them why, especially with Byakuya nearby.

"You were amazing, Sora-san! You were like pew, swoosh, and then he was gone!"

Yup... fantastic imagination.

"I'm glad you two are safe," Sora said with a smile.

Chad nodded his head.

"You didn't have to get that mad for us."

Oh, he was feeling so guilty. So goddamn guilty. But their innocence deserved to stay pure, so it was better to keep that lie.

He'd buy them ice cream later if that made it any better.

"It's fine. I don't like my close ones being hurt," he said calmly.

Urahara, who had been quietly observing, decided to chime in. "Oh, I don't doubt that at all." He waved his fan, his eyes glinting with something unreadable. "In fact, I'd say you were exceptionally motivated today, Sora-kun."

Sora felt it... he was about to be extorted out of a huge sum of money.

Sora shot him a look.

Don't you fucking dare.

Oh, I will dare.

That damn fan covered Urahara's mouth, but Sora just knew the bastard was grinning.

Before he could retort, a familiar presence made itself known.

The air grew heavy, and from the Senkaimon that had opened in the distance, a certain noble captain stepped through.

Sora narrowed his eyes.

Oh, great.

"Brother-in-law, what are you doing?"

Byakuya ignored Sora. Ouch. His eyes scanned the surroundings.

"Hollow Reiatsu."

"Yeah! A super duper strong Hollow showed up, and Sora-san defeated it!" Orihime explained in her excited voice.

"He did..."

Why did Byakuya not believe him? Like, he didn't think Sora had been fighting a Hollow?

His gaze landed on Sora—more precisely, on his neck, as if looking for something.

"Brother-in-law must have traveled quite fast to get here. Would Brother-in-law like some snacks?"

A vein appeared above Byakuya's brow, but only for a second. It was fine. The boy had not crossed any line. From the look of it, he had not crossed that line.

That was good.

"I do not wish to partake in pleasantries," the man said in a rather cold tone.

"Brother-in-law—"

"Call me Byakuya."

Damn, was it really that annoying? "Brother-in-law Byakuya, it seems like you were unaware of the Hollow attack. May I know why you were in such a hurry?"

...

...

...

It's not like Byakuya could say, I wanted to make sure you weren't banging my sister. Nah, that would have been outrageous.

"My senses told me that Rukia may be in danger. I can see now that I was overthinking it."

'So this is how sharp Captain Kuchiki's senses are... if only he knew the danger he sensed was his sister's virginity being in danger. Should I tell him?'

Urahara pondered to himself, tempted to poke the bear.

The tension lingered for a moment longer before Urahara clapped his hands. "Well! Now that we're all caught up, how about we head back? I'm sure Sora-kun has important matters to attend to."

Sora twitched.

Orihime blinked. "Important matters?"

Urahara's eyes gleamed with mischief. "Oh, nothing much. Just some unfinished business he was rudely interrupted from."

Sora glared at him.

Urahara smiled behind his fan.

Byakuya's interest was piqued.

Urahara chuckled, tilting his hat slightly as he fanned himself. "Tell me, Sora—what exactly were these important matters you had to attend to?"

Sora's eye twitched.

"...5 million yen."

Urahara gasped, placing a hand over his chest like he was deeply offended. "Oh my, my memory seems to be failing me. Such a shame..."

Sora clenched his teeth. This bastard.

But before he could throw out another bribe—

A shadow loomed over him.

Sora felt it.

The weight.

The unforgiving presence of a noble's judgment.

Cold sweat rolled down his neck.

Very, very slowly, he turned his head.

There stood Byakuya Kuchiki.

Expression unreadable. Gaze sharp as a blade.

And—most terrifyingly—his eyes were locked onto the very invisible love bite on Sora's neck.

Wait, what? Sora had hidden them behind a Reishi barrier! Byakuya shouldn't be able to see them!

So why the hell was he staring at his neck like that?

As if he could sense their essence.

Sora gulped. Oh. Oh no.

The silence stretched.

Byakuya's voice was calm, collected—but absolute.

"I shall remain here for some time," he said, his tone carrying the weight of a royal decree. "During my stay, I trust that you will act appropriately. As my sister's... companion, I will be in your care."

Internally, Sora was screaming.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

WHY?! WHY DID HE HAVE TO STAY?!

HIS CHANCES WERE DROPPING FASTER THAN A FALLING STAR!

Sora forced a smile, but it looked painfully stiff. "Ahaha... Of course! My house is your house, Brother-in-law."

Byakuya's eyes narrowed ever so slightly.

"You do not appear particularly pleased," he observed. "Perhaps you had other... intentions regarding my sister?"

Sora immediately straightened up. "I would never!"

Byakuya stared at him.

Sora stared back, resisting the urge to break into a cold sweat.

The tension in the air was thick.

And then—

Urahara hummed in amusement, hiding his smile behind his fan.

"My, my. It seems our dear Sora is experiencing quite the predicament."

Sora turned his glare onto him.

"You're enjoying this, aren't you?"

Urahara's fan snapped shut. His grin was positively foxlike.

"Oh, immensely."

Urahara just looked at the scene with a mischievous smile. Not only did he score 5 million, but he also got to watch the drama for free.

POV Change

Somewhere in Hueco Mundo, the beaten Arrancar reported to Aizen everything it had witnessed, even crushing one of its eyes to show him the visual.

Wasn't that just a one-sided beatdown?

Yes... he was the mastermind behind Sora's blue-balling. Upon noticing Sora's temper, Aizen realized that his plan was coming together perfectly. He understood Sora's personality well and had carefully timed the arrival of the Arrancar to coincide with Rukia's return. Just in case they were delayed, Aizen wore a spiritual energy-concealing cloak and positioned a picture of Hisane so that Byakuya could see it clearly. Yes, he was the mastermind behind Sora's frustration.

He had planned it all.

The plan served a simple purpose really, since Sora was pissed, he would certainly not hold back.

The boy had grown way past Aizen's old self.

His version of himself who hadn't fused with the Hogyoku.

In Aizen's chest, a blue orb could be seen...

The boy was turning out exactly how he had planned.

If Sora knew of such bs, Aizen would have gone to the top 2 people he wanted to beat, right behind Ywach because no one...blue ball the great Sora.

A/N....Yes, Sora is way stronger than Byakuya, I know...he is still Rukia's brother. So he can do nothing but swallow his pride.

Speaking of strength, how strong is Kaede? Keep in mind that she is probably the strongest member of Yhwach's army. Her Schrift ensured that all the unique abilities of others had no effect on her, forcing them to fight her using only basic Quincy skills.

 With her 100% control over Reishi in her base form, the odds were heavily stacked in her favor.

If Jugram used his Balance ability on her, her Schrift would turn it all back on him, causing all the negative effects to happen only to him.

As for Gerard, while his attacks do 

make him stronger and bigger, his wounds never heal, which just makes him a bigger target.

Against Little Barro, she became intangible, rendering his bullets ineffective. For Pernida, her powers turned his nerves against him, making him stagnant instead of allowing him to progress.

Some may argue that she lost the jump, but remember: most of her Reiatsu and Reiyoku were being drained by that little gremlin, she was pregnant, and she barely used her Schrift or went Vollständig.

Her Vollständig form is incredibly powerful, granting her an Aoi effect and a large range. To those saying she is overpowered, I encourage you to reread the Kaede special—she defeated Aizen, who considered her his equal. She defeated Sosuke Aizen using just her Schrift.

So, how strong is she?

And when did Sora surpass her in strength, or has he already done so?
