Kukaku Shiba - Bleach

A Night of Explosive Passion: How an Evening of Fireworks and Training Led to a Heart-Pounding Encounter with the Head of the Shiba Clan, Kukaku Shiba

The night air over the outskirts of the Rukongai was thick with the scent of dried herbs and the faint, sharp tang of black powder. High atop the hill where the Shiba clan’s eccentric manor stood, the silence of the Soul Society was broken only by the rhythmic chirping of nocturnal insects and the distant, muffled sound of a waterfall. Inside the main workshop, the flicker of low-burning lanterns cast long, dancing shadows against the wooden walls.
