GOJO: A Sorcerer in the Soul Society Chapter 125: FAMILY

"Otou-san! Otou-san! Wake up."

"Just...give five more hours."

"Hah~! Shouldn't it be five minutes?"

"Five minutes aren't enough for my aweso self. Now, shoo, let sleep."

In a large bedroom nearly devoid of any decoration, a rather codic scene was happening.

One young purple-haired girl, seemingly a young pre-teen of 13 or 14 years, was busy shaking a silver-haired man lying down on the bed.

In the end, the girl stopped trying to wake him up directly and opened the curtains.

"Argh!! Accursed sun. My enemy of all mornings."

Even though he kept fighting back and refused to move, in the end, he could only keel and accept his defeat under the blinding light of the mighty sun.

"Alright, Alright, I got it. Geez. I am getting up."

Ruffling his hair, his eyes still blurry with sleep, Gojo stretched and yawned.

"What ti is it?"

"It's 10 am."

"Only 10? Why would you wake up so soon?"

He mumbled and complained as he stood up and did so light stretching. During the last few days, he had been deep into research, trying to understand more about his powers over energy and creation.

'Who would have thought that I would beco a scientist?'

Gojo could only shake his head in wonder. So might ask themselves why he was acting like this.

In the past, he would have simply answered because he wanted to stand at the top.

Now though, more than power itself, he hated the notion of not being able to bring out the full power of Kogo. It felt like he would be letting down his partner and other half if he did not give his all for her.

"Otou-san? You forgot you have an appointnt with Captain Byakuya and Captain Jushiro about the manga adaptation of his novel."

"Haha, sorry Senna, thanks for waking up."

Gojo's face pald himself. If he had to be honest, that entertainnt project had been more like a joke and honestly a long shot. But he was surprised at how much thought Byakuya put into it.

'Hahaha, now that I think about it, the to 10 of is coming out today.'

He could only laugh speechlessly at the fact that out of all the new novels and manga that slowly appeared over those five years since he ca back from Dangai, the BL manga and novel about him and Byakuya was still the best seller and uncontested number one.

He rembered when Byakuya tried to take down that manga, the female soldiers and nobles of the Seireitei nearly rioted. It had really been a sight to behold.

That day, looking at Byakuya's helpless and disgruntled face, Gojo laughed so much he nearly died of asphyxia.

"Otou-san! Hurry! Hurry! Nemu Nee-san already prepared the bath."

Senna did not allow Gojo to reminisce any longer as she took him by the arm and left the room while running.

Of course, if he really wished not to, there was no way Senna could have moved him. But watching his cute daughter act like this always brought a warm smile to his smile.

---

It had been five years since his outing to Dangai. Those five years, like most years in the Seireitei, had been completely boring and uneventful. The only true change that happened was the creation and developnt of the Entertainnt departnt, under the control of the 6th division.

Thanks to that, the ever-so-boring life beca a little bearable. Of course, not everyone was happy mainly the 9th division that was in charge of the "Seireitei News Magazine", under the control of Captain Kana Tosen, or as Gojo called him, the blind bastard.

Aside from this, another thing to note was that Senna had officially beco a Shinigami.

Last year, Yoruichi expressed concern about Senna's ntal developnt. Even though she only looked like a child, she was pretty mature ntally, though a little withdrawn only talking to Gojo and those close to him.

As such, they decided that sending her to school was a good way to develop a relationship.

It was a good idea on paper butit didn't help much.

As expected of his daughter, she crushed the six years training program and graduated just after five months before joining the 4th division.

If he counted himself, Toshiro, Momo, and now Senna in just ten years, the normal graduation ti had been broken four tis. He wondered what kind of face the instructors made.

He wasn't surprised at Senna being a genius. Her body was basically born to manipulate Reiryoku. In fact, in terms of energy control, if Gojo didn't have the six eyes, he was sure that he would have been worse than her. This was how talented she was.

Thanks to that, she was currently specializing herself in theory before becoming an accomplished doctor. After all, he didn't want her to be in the face of blood and death so soon.

What really surprised Gojo was that Senna had managed to bond with an Asauchi. He really wondered what kind of power her zanpakuto would have once it awakened.

Senna aside, his love life had settled down sowhat. For one, he was in a sorta relationship with Nanao. The girl had bawled her eyes out when he ca back alive from the mission.

Furthermore, he didn't wish to give bad examples to Senna while raising her. So he had been careful to control himself and mainly spent ti with Nanao or Rangiku.

Over those five years, his relationship with Rangiku had ward up considerably and the two of them flirted so much that people already considered them a couple.

Gojo wasn't blind to the interest Rangiku had for him. But at the sa ti, he had a hard ti breaking the last wall separating them. After all, Gin Ichimaru was her best friend and basically a brother to her.

After completely washing the drowsiness away with a hot bath, Gojo, now wearing his shinigami uniform, walked in the living room and couldn't help but drool at the magnificent scent waffling in.

"Seems as appetizing as always. Thanks, Nemu."

He took his place as Nemu answered back to his complint with a happy smile.

It had been slow, but as ti passed, Nemu gradually opened her heart to the world.

The process sowhat accelerated after Senna ca into the picture. While she still wouldn't show much when in front of outsiders but she beca way more expressive when they were in the house.

She had even developed so hobbies, mainly related to housekeeping. It was tothe point that Gojo was sure that he would die of starvation if Nemu left him, because his stomach couldn't accept anything else below the level of her cooking.

"Finally, I am starving."

"Cats shouldn't eat at the table."

"Continue and I will scratch you Nyaa...There, there, under my chin. Ohhh."

Ever since Yoruichi ca back with him, aside from training with him every night in his basent, she would spend most of her ti in her cat form and play around with the females visiting him, like Nanao or the others.

Aside from Unohana and of course Soi Fon, none of them knew that the cat they were playing with was in fact a forr captain.

Scratching the head of the black cat sitting not far from him, Gojo smiled as he watched the table full of laughter.

For him, who used to eat alone when he was alive, it was really a weird and heartwarming sight.

None of them were related by blood but he liked to think that what they had was even better than a normal family.

Smiling joyfully, Gojo put his hand together and gave the signal to start eating.

"Itadakimasu."

Today was a good day.

(AN: A simple heartwarming chapter to start VOL 6: CAPTAIN. The na may or may not change, but for now, it will be that. Vol 6 will be very pivotal for this story and there might be so more ti skip because I need to reach a very specific date in Bleach tiline. Let's hope I don't fuck it up.)
