The Epic of Leviathan (A Mutant's Ascension)

Chapter 434 - Prelude (Autumn Elections) & Petting The Cat...



[POV Momo]

"Yachiru Unohana seemed to be really nice, what do you think Momo?" Fleur asked me and I slowly nodded my head.

It has been a half an hour since Reo and Unohana left our estate. Unohana needed to return to Seireitei. She was the Captain of the 4th Division of the Gotei 13. That seemed to be an important position.

But there was something that didn\'t seem to be adding up about Unohana. Reo said that Unohana seemed to get along extremely well with Hela. I don\'t understand how someone kind and gentle like Unohana can get along with Hela.

It\'s not like I didn\'t get along with Hela, it\'s just our likes and dislikes were completely different. She loved killing people while I loved learning and making new things. .

"Yes, Unohana is really kind and gentle. I wonder if she is going to teach me Medicinal techniques" Jean muttered with a smitten look on her face.

"She might seem to be kind and gentle but I have noticed huge amounts of malice from her… it wasn\'t directed towards us but it was there. At first, I thought that my mind was playing games but it was still there" Nat said with a deep frown on her face.

"She was giving me the same vibes as Hela" Nat said as her eyes landed on Luna who was writing something in her notebook. I cleared my throat to gain her attention.

Luna raised up her head and looked towards me. "Yes, Momo, how may I help you?" Luna asked innocently.

"Yes, Luna. Can you tell us something about Unohana?" I asked. I wouldn\'t have a problem with Unohana if she is like Hela, I am simply curious.

"Unohana is a bipolar woman but in truth, she is exactly like Hela. She loves killing but unlike Hela, she has another personality" Luna said and went back to whatever she was doing.

"There you have it" I said while looking towards Nat.

"Do you think Reo knows?" Ororo asked from the side and all of us except Luna snorted.

"Who do you think Reo is?" I asked dryly and Ororo started to laugh sheepishly.

"Of course he knows, he does have a thing about eccentric women" Ororo said while rubbing the back of her head.

"Well, that\'s enough. Unohana being like Hela shouldn\'t be a problem, right?" I asked and everyone shook their heads. None of us would have done or said anything but it is still good to know everyone\'s opinion.

"That\'s good and all but what are we going to do about the Autumn Elections?" Nat asked and Fleur seemed to frown at the statement.

"What\'s there to do? We already know that we are going to be in the preliminary round. Now, we practice and come out on top" Fleur declared at the statement.

"That\'s good and all but to win we would need to practice day and night just like Fleur has been practicing for her apparent Shokugeki with Nakiri Erina" Luna declared as she put away her notebook.

"You said that Fleur would be challenging Nakiri Erina but that is yet to happen and the Autumn Elections are already on the corner…" Ororo said and Luna nodded her head.

"Yes, I remember saying that but the future deviated. You know that there are lots of future possibilities, we are simply going down a future where it will happen later… but it will still happen" Luna said and we nodded, that seemed to be reasonable.

"Is there anything you could tell us about the preliminary round Luna?" I asked, changing the topic. We can discuss about defeating Nakiri Erina at a later date.

"We should practice curry" Luna said while giving us a knowing smile and once again she picked up her notebook.

Looks like we got a week-long head-start. The names of the participants were going to be announced in a week. The theme of the preliminary round would have been announced along with the list of participants…

[POV Yoruichi]

I finally found this place… this is where that house is supposed to be but it isn\'t there… According to Spiritual senses, there is something in that empty piece of land but I can\'t see, hear or interact with anything in there.

It\'s like some type of mystical force is interfering here. "You are right" I heard someone whisper in my ear and I felt fear grip my kitty heart. I immediately jumped towards my side and found a black-haired man standing where I was.

How the hell did he even sneak up on me. This seems to be becoming a common occurrence. First Luna, then that Destroyer guy, and then this dude. I saw his posture and I had to stop myself from releasing a grateful sigh.

The man was wearing a white tank top and a pair of blue shorts. He was wearing a pair of flip-flops… but that man is dangerous. If he can get behind me without getting noticed then he is faster than me.

I understand that he is relaxed because I am a cat but he should have still put up some sort of guard… I can still transform into my human form to surprise him. I just need to get away from here.

"If you transform into your human form to give me eye candy then I am not letting you go… you will belong to me" the man said in a possessive tone.

Damn!! He can read my mind! I need to get away as soon as possible! I thought and used Flash Step in my cat form so that I could get away. I can\'t stop… I need to make some distance between ourselves.

After a couple of minutes, I appeared on the other side of Karakura Town. I kept moving in a zig-zag pattern so that he couldn\'t follow me. I looked around and found there was nothing around us.

"I understand why they call you the Flash Goddess" Once again I heard the voice behind me. I slowly turned around to find the man standing above me with a smile on his face. I immediately jumped to make some distance.

"I kind of understand the reference, Flash Goddess. I mean you do like to flash people with your assets" the man said in an amused tone. I didn\'t even dare to blink… I would have scratched his face if I wasn\'t worried about my life.

Before I could even say anything, once again I found myself on the roof where he had found me. That is not like Luna\'s teleportation method… am I trapped in some sort of Illusion?

"No, you aren\'t trapped in some sort of Illusion… I wanted us back here so we are back here… in simpler words, Space is my bitch" the man said and I couldn\'t believe his words. Is he going to kill me? From his words, he already seems to know me.

"No… I am not going to kill you and yes, I know you. Well, I don\'t know you personally but I am Omnipresent so there\'s that" the man said with a shrug. I couldn\'t stop my eyes and tail from twitching after hearing his words.

Wait… that Destroyer was Omnipresent too and he also teleported us in a similar manner… What was his name? Yes, Reo!

"Ding ding ding!! And we have a winner… You are a really smart woman, Yoruichi Shihouin. You are curious too and as I have said, curiosity kills the cat, but I am not going to kill you" the man said and sat down on the roof and started to pat the floor beside him looking towards me.

Should I take the offer? It is pretty clear that he isn\'t going to let me go and he is somewhat relaxed. Though is he reading my thoughts or my whole mind??

"I am not reading your whole mind… I don\'t want to know what kind of cat kinks you have" He said with a grin. I never wanted to scratch someone so badly.

I finally reached the spot and sat down beside him. "So, why are you here?" he asked and I simply snorted. Like he already didn\'t know…

"Yes, I do know. You are looking for Hela or Luna. But I am more than impressed that you were able to find this place… After all, this place is unplottable" Reo said with a smile as he hovered his hand over me. It was like he was asking for permission.

I reluctantly nodded my head and he started to pet me. At first, I held strong but his hands were too experienced, he must have a lot of experience petting cats. Yes, right there. That\'s the spot… keep rubbing it!!

"I find your thoughts amusing" he said and I immediately shot him an annoyed glare but didn\'t move away. His hands felt heavenly… he is one of the few people who I will ever allow to pet me.

"I have noticed how you and your colleague passed on the information to Soul Society. Ah… don\'t need to worry, I don\'t mind it" Reo said and I was worried that he wouldn\'t like the fact that we spread the information but that wasn\'t the case.

"But you should be more careful. Sosuke Aizen had noticed that you and your colleague Kisuke Urahara were in Soul Society…" Reo said and my blood ran cold. Did he get the information too… that could be really bad.

"No… you don\'t need to worry. I interfered and stopped him from finding your group. He returned to Seireitei empty-handed, but be careful next time" Reo said in a gentle tone and pulled back his hand.

No!! Keep petting me! He started to chuckle. Fuck! I forgot that he was reading my thoughts. "I will pet you the next time… now, runoff. I need to go back. I am pretty busy doing my Godly duties…" Reo said and disappeared.

I released a defeated sigh… what the fuck did I get myself involved with? I asked myself and fortunately, no one replied… I slowly got up from the spot where I was sitting and Flash Stepped towards Kisuke\'s shop…
