Demon Slayer: The Journey That Began When I Became Yoriichi's Sister

Chapter 546 Fine, I'll let you touch me.

To Yuko's astonishment, the black cat in front of her suddenly burst into a cloud of smoke, and then a girl with wheat-colored skin, naked body, and short purple hair appeared in front of her, straddling her body.

"The cat turned into a person!" Yuko exclaimed in shock. "What kind of creature are you?"

"A monster?!"

"I've lived for hundreds of years and I never knew there were monsters in this world? Where were you all hiding before?"

Yoruichi Shihōin's eye twitched slightly: "A few, several hundred years?"

"Oh no, that was an exaggerated metaphor, you know? I meant that I hadn't seen a monster in eight hundred years, and that was to express my shock." Yuko seemed to realize that she had misspoke and quickly corrected herself.

"So, you're eight hundred years old?" Yoruichi Shihouin didn't know whether she should retort or not. You're almost as old as that so-called strongest Shinigami in a thousand years!

Yu Zi struggled for a moment: "No way! How do I look like I'm eight hundred years old?! I'm only twenty-five!"

"If you're not, why are you so agitated?" Yoruichi Shihouin narrowed her eyes. "Quite suspicious~"

Are you really only twenty-five years old?

"Stare~"

Yu Zi forced a smile and said, "One, one or two hundred years old."

"Stare~"

"Three or four hundred should be enough!"

"Stare~"

"At most five or six hundred!"

"Stare~"

Yuko was on the verge of despair: "This time it's for real! Six hundred at most! No more!"

"Really?!" Yoruichi Shihouin's eyes widened. This time it really didn't seem like a lie. "You mean, you've lived in the human world for six hundred years?"

There are actually humans—no, in this woman's words, she's a ghost—that have lived for six hundred years?

Shocking!

"You don't need to be so blunt as to tell me I'm old, haha." Yu Zi said with a look of despair, "Anyway, I'm already dead. Who cares about their age when they're dead?"

"At least I looked young when I died, and I'll still look young after I die."

Yoruichi Shihōin: Why does this woman seem like she's given up on herself after her lies were exposed?

Why are you so concerned about age?

Yoruichi Shihouin coughed lightly, bringing Yuuko back to her senses: "Let's summarize."

"So, you're not human, but a creature called a ghost?"

"To be precise, I used to be human, and then I became a ghost."

Yoruichi Shihouin's face darkened, and she grabbed Ikuko by the collar: "What new setting is this? Are you kidding me, you idiot!"

"You're the one who should be! Can you get off me first? Women shouldn't touch each other like that!" Yu Zi slapped her hand away, her face full of black lines. "And you perverted woman, can't you put your clothes on before you talk!"

"You really say everything." Yoruichi Shihouin's lips twitched slightly, then he clicked his tongue in annoyance, jumped off Yuuko, went to the wardrobe, and casually grabbed a black training uniform to put on.

"Is that okay now?"

"Okay, you can continue."

"Okay, first of all, you were originally human, and then you became a demon?"

"Correct."

"Is your brother a human or a ghost?"

"Of course, they are also ghosts that were once human."

Yoruichi Shihouin raised her hand: "I have a question."

"ask."

How do people turn into ghosts?

“A demon can turn a human into a demon by injecting its own blood into them,” Yuko replied honestly. “Of course, not all humans can be transformed into demons.”

"A certain level of qualification is required."

"I see." Yoruichi Shihouin nodded slightly, it was unclear whether she believed him or not. "Let's continue."

"After killing my brother who was an accomplice to the evildoer, I stayed in this world for a while until recently, when I felt that my life was coming to an end."

"Because I didn't know anyone in Heaven, I thought I'd go to Hell to find him, and that's how things turned out."

Do you understand?

"I don't understand anything." Yoruichi Shihouin rubbed her temples in anguish. "There are so many questions, I don't even know where to begin."

"for example?"

"For example, who guided you into Soul Society, which is what you call Heaven?"

Yuko asked in surprise and doubt, "Is this really paradise?"

"That's how you understand it."

Yuko suddenly looked at Yoruichi with a somewhat uncertain gaze, and Yoruichi felt as if she were naked.

Oh, it seems she was seen naked. Oh well, it's alright then.

"What are you looking at?"

"Are you perhaps a paper effigy burned for me by my friends in the human world to guide me?" Yuko asked sincerely. Before Yoruichi could reply, she muttered to herself, "That shouldn't be the case. Who doesn't know I like fair-skinned and beautiful women?"

Shihouin Yoruichi's temple veins bulged inch by inch as he angrily said, "Who is your guiding paper doll!"

"Stop it, you bastard!"

"Tell me honestly, which Grim Reaper guided you down here!"

"Huh? Death God?" Yuko looked completely bewildered.

"The Grim Reaper is the guide who leads the souls of the dead to the Soul Society."

"But I didn't see any Grim Reaper."

Yoruichi Shihouin was on the verge of a breakdown: "Ah!! What the hell are you?!"

"What's with this guy showing up at my house out of nowhere?!"

Yu Zi broke out in a cold sweat and quickly comforted him, "Come on, calm down. Didn't I already tell you? I'm a ghost."

"prove."

"Eh?"

"Prove that you are an incredibly strong, mountain-like, blue-faced, fanged demon who loves to eat children."

"Hmm, actually, I'm considered quite good-looking among ghosts. I basically look no different from a human, and I don't eat children..."

Yoruichi Shihouin was driven to the brink of collapse by the torment, grabbing Ikuko by the collar again: "You bastard, you're lying to me, aren't you! You're a spy, aren't you! A Quincy spy, aren't you! You're definitely a spy! How did you even get into Seireitei?!"

"And they even inexplicably ran into my house, trying to frame me, right?!"

"Okay, okay, I'll show you!" Yu Zi was startled by her excited appearance and quickly waved her hand. "But actually, my appearance after turning into a demon isn't much different from how I look now."

"If you can't transform, I'll kill you." Yoruichi Shihouin said, pulling out a short sword from somewhere.

Yu Zi's lips twitched slightly: "Let's make this clear first, don't get agitated again."

Yoruichi made a move to draw his sword.

Yu Zi sighed, her gaze calmed down, and a pair of ferocious demon horns emerged from the top of her head. Her long hair, which reached her back, grew even longer, hanging down to her hips. Clear blue veins appeared on her face, making her look less ferocious, and the previously concealed markings were revealed on her cheeks again.

"Now you believe me..."

Before Yuko could finish speaking, Yoruichi Shihouin's pupils suddenly contracted, his muscles tensed, and his Zanpakuto was drawn from its sheath and thrust towards Yuko.

The attack was so fast that Yuko didn't even have time to react. She looked down blankly at her chest, which had been stabbed through, and a little blood oozed out.

Yuko looked up in surprise: "What are you doing?"

Seeing that Yuuko showed no signs of pain, Yoruichi Shihouin licked her dry lips: "Could it be... Vasto Lorde..."

"What are you digging for?"

An even more ferocious attack flashed forth, and this time, Yuko instinctively dodged it.

"Wait! You can't kill me by hitting me like that!" Yu Zi interrupted, raising her hand.

Yoruichi Shihouin was a little confused by her sudden action and subconsciously stopped.

Yuko cautiously opened her eyes and saw that she was just looking seriously at the knife pointed at her and did not attack. She quickly explained.

"Are you sure you haven't mistaken me for someone else? I'm not that...wa..."

Yoruichi Shihōin keenly noticed that Ikuko's heart, which she had just stabbed, had quickly healed.

Noticing her gaze, Yuko explained, "Demons possess the ability to recover from any injury, no matter how severe."

Yoruichi Shihōin narrowed her eyes: "You're not a Hollow?"

"I am a ghost."

Yoruichi Shihouin stood there struggling for a moment, then walked forward expressionlessly and, under Ikuko's bewildered gaze, ripped open the front of Ikuko's clothes.

"what?"

While Yuuko was still in a daze, Yoruichi Shihouin even touched her.

Only then did Yu Zi, enraged and embarrassed, slap her hand away.

"You're a freak!"

There is no void; it's not truly a void.

A strange light flashed in Yoruichi Shihōin's eyes as he casually said, "At worst, you can touch mine."

Yuko was shocked for a moment, then looked at her chest with disdain.

Yoruichi Shihouin felt a sense of being outmatched and looked down at her chest, her face darkening further.

Humiliation! She, Yoruichi Kaede, had never felt such humiliation before!

"Alright, put your horns away so no one else can see them."

"I didn't want anyone else to see this in the first place," Yu Zi muttered, as the demon horns on her head slowly retracted and her hair shortened to her back.

Yoruichi Shihouin: ...

"Going back to the premise, so you really are a ghost?"

"How many times do I have to tell you before you believe me?!" Yu Zi was getting a little frustrated, staring straight at her, and said quietly, "By the way, why don't you introduce yourself first?"

"Me? Yoruichi Shihōin, the 22nd head of the Shihōin family, and the captain of the 2nd Division of the Gotei 13." Yoruichi Shihōin crossed her arms, her expression arrogant.

She didn't usually like introducing herself like that, but for some reason, she didn't want the woman in front of her to look down on her.

"Pfft~" Yu Zi couldn't help but laugh. "Sorry, I couldn't help it."

Yoruichi Shihouin, her entire body radiating black aura, exclaimed, "What's so funny about what I said?!"

“The thought of you being the head of the family makes me feel sad for your family,” Yu Zi replied bluntly. “What bad luck to have someone like you as the head of the family.”

Yoruichi Shihouin looked at her with narrowed eyes: "And you? Hmm? May I ask who this princess is?"

“Princess?” Yu Zi paused for a moment, then touched her cheek and nodded silently. “Indeed, people often compliment me on being as beautiful as a princess.”

Yoruichi Shihouin gasped, wondering if she had lost her mind to make such a joke.

Just before Yoruichi Shihouin was about to lose her temper, Ikuko introduced herself: "Ikuko, Tsugikuni Ikuko, you can call me Ikuko."

Yoruichi Shihouin was taken aback. This guy made people call him by his name as soon as they met?

This woman is really strange.

Yoruichi Shihouin sighed: "Yoruichi, you can call me Yoruichi."

Yuuko looked at her hands with a puzzled expression: "Yoruichi, so am I already dead?"

"Correct."

Yuko complained, "In the end, I didn't go to hell, but came to heaven. Since you didn't give me a choice, don't make it so easy for people to misunderstand."

Yoruichi Shihouin was speechless. What kind of deity threw you here?

You've offended her, you idiot!

"Hmm~ But after I died, it felt like my healthy self came back." Yuko stretched and got out of bed.

Yoruichi Shihōin asked with a slanted eye, "Didn't you say that demons can heal from any injury?"

Yuko nodded: "Demons can indeed heal any injury and have a near-infinite lifespan, but I didn't want to live anymore, which is why I died of old age so quickly."

"Wait, you said endless lifespan?"

"Hmm? Is there a problem? Aren't ghosts just creatures like that?"

Yoruichi Shihouin seemed to have vented all her grievances: "Is such a creature even reasonable?!"

"At six hundred years old, I'm still considered young. I have a friend in the real world who's already a thousand-year-old woman."

"An old woman? She's probably so old she's practically turned to ashes!"

Your friend is almost as old as Yamamoto!

"No, he looks like he's in his twenties or thirties, very young."

Yoruichi Shihouin suddenly felt that this world was a bit absurd. How could such an outrageous creature exist, possessing a near-endless lifespan and emanating no spiritual pressure?

How come they've never heard of Death?

Yoruichi Shihouin discovered a blind spot: "If that's the case, then demons have endless lifespans and can heal all their injuries, wouldn't the world be full of demons?"

"Demons may have endless lifespans and the ability to heal from injuries, but they cannot face the sunlight directly."

"Moreover, because of the cannibalism, even the Demon King has been killed by the Demon Slayer Corps."

"What? You haven't received Muzan's message here?"

"Oh, right, that guy must be in hell."

Yuko muttered to herself, while Yoruichi Shihouin stood bewildered in the wind, her fingers trembling as she pointed to the window where sunlight streamed in.

"But aren't you sunbathing right now?"

Yu Zi replied matter-of-factly, "You mean me? It's because I'm the rare new Demon King who overcame the sun. Otherwise, I would have committed suicide by sunbathing long ago. Why would I wait to die of old age?"

"Why are you committing suicide?"

"My friends are old, some are dead, and my family members have been gone for hundreds of years. What's the point of me living alone?"

Yoruichi Shihouin fell silent.

Yu Zi stretched again and groaned for a moment: "Alright, now that I'm in Heaven, let me go out for a stroll and see what's so interesting there."
