Playing With Other Supernaturals

Chapter 1178 Infiltration Mission

Benihime didn't immediately save the kid, instead, she first modified her clothing to match the district she was in before adding some dust and grease to her ripped clothing, skin, and hair, making her look like a mental asylum patient who hadn't bathed for weeks. Finally, Benihime slipped an ordinary-looking black bracelet onto her left arm which immediately masked her Magic Body and Reiatsu, making it look like she was an average random Soul to a Shinigami's senses.

She then looked around and picked up a piece of lumber, breaking it into two pieces and picking the one with a sharper end.

Benihime finished her preparation and started running towards the thugs beating up the child and aimed at the one furthest away from the group. Her hurried footsteps immediately caught the attention of several thugs and the one Benihime was aiming for looked annoyed, "Huh? Dirty bitch, this is no-"

However, before he could finish speaking, Benihime suddenly sped up, and with a swing of the broken lumber, she pierced through his throat, spraying blood on her face.

With a gurgling sound, the thug fell and struggled for a bit before the lights in his eyes disappeared.

Everyone was shocked and stunned into silence at this unexpectedly bloody scene. The thugs were only able to react when Benihime started running away.

"Y-you bitch!" One of them shouted at the top of his lungs and started chasing after her and was soon followed by the other thugs.

Benihime turned her head around and made sure that they were following her, 'Good.' She then turned a corner and thought to herself, 'They should be around here.'

Soon enough Benihime felt the presence of the nearby patrolling Shinigamis after running for a few minutes. Once she was sure that the noise they'd be creating would be enough for them to notice, Benihime stopped and faced her pursuers, resuming her attack.

The thugs were startled but didn't back down from the challenge, however, their bravery didn't last long as they started shouting in pain and horror.

As Benihime wanted, the two patrolling Shinigamis noticed the commotion and immediately began making their way through. But just as they were about to turn the corner where the blood-curdling screams were coming from, it all suddenly stopped.

Confused, the two Shinigami looked at each other before taking a peek at what was happening.

Upon seeing the scene, one of them wanted to throw up at the sight of the mutilated bodies and ripped-out guts and eyes. In the middle of this bloody mess is a single dirty and bloodied woman standing quietly while clutching a piece of wood thoroughly soaked in blood and gore.

The two Shinigami hurriedly pulled out their Zanpakutos, but thankfully, they didn't have to do anything as the woman let go of her 'weapon' and dropped to the ground, unconscious.

They cautiously approached the crime scene and one of them said to others, "Go around and look for witnesses. Figure out what happened here."

"Are you going to be fine on your own?"

"She's already unconscious. I'll tie her up and bring her in."

"Bring her in? Why? Isn't it too dangerous to keep her alive?"

"That's why I'm asking you to ask around. Depending on what they say, the Seireitei will have a use for her."

The other inexperienced Shinigami was still confused so he continued, "It takes a talent to slaughter men larger than her with a single piece of wood. The Seireitei will want to have a talent like that and they'll have a way to discipline her."

Hearing their words, Benihime knew that she succeeded in the first step, 'I knew there was a reason why Kisuke didn't want me to meet Soifon and allowed me to play around for an extended period, but to think he'd ask me to infiltrate Onmitsukidou...'

Kisuke made sure that his tracks were erased and returned to their base.

"Welcome home. How did it go?" Waiting for him was Serafall who intended to secure an escape route for Kisuke if things didn't go as planned.

"I'm home. Better than expected." Kisuke disabled his disguise and sat down beside her.

"Wouldn't they send down an advisory to the Seireitei? How are you going to deal with that?"

Kisuke stretched his limbs and Tiamat transformed back to her Humanoid form to get something to eat, "Chances are they wouldn't do that. Those guys are top prideful and wouldn't want to release the news that they were infiltrated and they let the infiltrator escape. Besides that, they don't want to give an idea to anyone that there's a hole in their security since it's not just me who wants to enter that place. At most, it's just going be the Captains and top noble houses who'll hear about this."

"And if the news spreads and we become enemies to them, that's fine too. The current Gotei 13 is too weak to do anything even against Claire, Kunou, and Tanis."

"...Are they really that weak?"

"Their strongest pillars are gone and they haven't recovered from war. It's sad but that's just the truth. And with the individuals from Hell breathing down their necks, they wouldn't be able to afford to make an enemy of us. This is the reason why I chose to do this now."

Serafall remained silent for a few moments before asking, "Isn't it about time you tell me what you intend to do?"

Kisuke also remained silent for a few seconds before he answered, "Not yet. I still need to investigate Hell to figure out the feasibility of what I want to do."

"And if it's not possible?"

"Then there's no point in staying here. We'll return."

Serafall sighed at his answer and changed the topic, "By the way, I enrolled Claire, Kunou, and Tanis in another school in London. It'll be our base of operations for now since there's really nothing to do on this side with you here taking care of everything."

"Good call since I'll also be diving deep into my research. I'll probably be going in the lab and not going out for a week or two each time."

"...That long?"

"Nothing I can do about it. I won't figure out anything if I don't put in the time."

Serafall started mulling over something with a complicated expression on her face, "Hmmmmm..... Yosh! I'll help you out! I can't help with Spiritual stuff but I can sure help out with the Magic side of things! Especially the pseudo-Demonic Power from Hell which I handle better than you!"

If Kisuke was going to lock himself up, then Serafall might not be able to close the distance between them as she wanted. More importantly, she was feeling some threat from the Shinigami known as Soifon and since she's going to be with Kisuke during his research time she doesn't want to be overtaken.

'I got my chance when I managed to go with them. I'm not letting that go!'
