Bleach: The Outer God

Ichigo looked at Rias and said calmly.

"Hum, that is an interesting question. And the answer to your question is I don't know. I just know that I am not a human, no, not an entire human being, not long ago."

Ichigo answered her honestly. 

There was no point in lying about it.

Rias heard that, and she frowned. She scanned him from head to toe with her eyes.

He was calm and collected. Only spoke when someone spoke to him. And he had such a gentle temperament.

He shouldn't be someone from that family.

Every male in the Bael family would be cold and blood thirsty. The opposite of the boy who was now speaking with his little sisters with a gentle smile.

They weren't capable of smiling like that.

She met her cousin Sairaog and even though he wasn't the same as anyone in his family, he didn't inherit the power of destruction, so it was understandable.

But Ichigo, she could feel it inside him in a dormant state. But even though it wasn't awakened yet, it should have some influence on the holder.

She could help but thought to her big brother. He was very strong, and the price he paid was his own sanity.

He looked gentle on the outside but so cold and blood thirsty on the inside.

"Hey are you okay? Why are you shaking like that?"

When she was falling into the depth of despair when she remembered the canarge that her big brother caused.

A strong feeling of calmness swept over her. She felt refreshed and bright.

It was like she met the beautiful rainbow after the storm had passed.

"W-What did you do?"

She asked him. No one could ever help her from being down like that. Not even her mother.

"Oh, I just use some natural energy to calm your power down. If you let go of that power. It will mess up my room."

"Your room?"

Rias looked around her and found that she was inside a room with a simple decoration.

It was a boy room.

"Yes, Aunt Venelana told me to play with you, but you just keep ignoring me and follow me everywhere."

Now that's just embarrassing.

"Don't worry, I don't know what you had experienced in the past, but It's going to be okay with time. And I can give you this when it is too much for you to handle."

Ichigo gave her a yellow fruit. She never saw it from anywhere.

"This is a spiritual fruit that is produced from my artifact. It had a calming property, and it was very sweet. You might like it and don't worry about cavities. It didn't have an ounce of sugar."

Rias looked at the spiritual fruit.

'Did he just feed me earlier?'

Rias wanted to ask him, but it was too embarrassing, so she just dismissed it.

"Try it, you will love it."

Rias nodded, then tried it. And when she put the spiritual fruit in her mouth and chewed it. The feeling that she experienced before occurred to her again.

She closed her eyes, feeling delighted for the first time since then.

"C-Can you give it to my little sister too. She might need it more than me."

"Why not, I can produce it as many as I wanted"

Ichigo gave her the whole jug of spiritual fruit. Because it was made of spiritual power. It would never rot and can be kept forever.

Rias didn't think that he would give them to her that easily. She waited for him to make a demand. but he just minded his own business.

"Are you really going to give them to me just like that? Don't you want anything in return?"

"Nope, why should I?"

Ichigo looked at Rias weirdly. He didn't understand. Why should he want something from her for just giving her those fruits?

He had too many for him to eat alone.

Rias lost for words. Wasn't he have devil blood in him. Where was the greed?

He should have asked her for something.

"You needed to ask for something. Don't give anything to anyone for free. They will take advantage of you."

"Oh I know that, but it's you, so it's okay. We are cousins, after all"

"....."

Rias was speechless again, but she felt something inside her chace when he said that. She shook her head and ate the fruit to calm herself.

"I understand, but I still need to give something to you. Otherwise, I would feel uneasy."

Rias insisted on giving him something in return, which Ichigo didn't mind.

Exchange gifts between cousins shouldn't be something to think over.

Rias pushed her hand forward. A little ball full of power of destruction was sent toward him.

Ichigo's eyes widened. Did his cousin want to kill him?

He wanted to dodge, but it was already too late. He got hit by the ball of destruction, but it didn't do anything to him.

"Don't be silly. Why should I want to hurt you? I just helped you awaken your power of destruction."

Ichigo looked at her absent mindedly when he heard her. 

Didn't his mom just refuse his aunt to awaken his devil blood… 

His little cousin just went and woke it up like that.
