AN: This was written by a friend of mine who will be hithermore known as Shaela Quinn... I convinced her it would be cool to publish her work, so she agreed as long as it was on this account...
Unfortunately neither one of us own any of the characters of Bleach... Much to our mutual dismay... T.T This story is purely a work of fiction contrived from the mind of an overly obsessed, slighly insane fan of Bleach specifically and Anime/Manga in general. Without further ado... Here is the story...
Wages of Sin
Prologue
...Ring ….Ring ...Ring
" Hello Urahara Shoten, Urahara speaking. How may I help you?" a blonde shop keeper answers the phone.
" Urahara-san this is Hitsugaya Taicho, we need a rush job on a couple of gigai. Mine doesn't fit correctly and of course Madarame-san told me his is nearly worn out." answers a young sounding voice from the other end. "Sotaicho Yamamoto is going to let Ichigo handle something for a few more days, but if he can't, we'll need to go in to help."
" And you're calling me, rather than speaking to Akon because...?" asks the shop keeper without any inflection.
" Because Kurotsuchi Taicho has him very busy, and of course you are the best artist in or out of Soul Society. Anyway if you make them we may also find something we need at your store when we pick them up."
"Flattery will get you no where Taicho but if you can hold off the old man for about 3-4 days I can get you a couple basic gigai."
"Thank you Urahara-san, I'll bring your usual fee in a few days"
"You're welcome Taicho"
With that they both hang up, but as soon as the phone is on the cradle it rings again. Picking it up with a sigh he answers
"Urahara Shoten..."
"Urahara you dick- why don't you answer the phone more often?" rasps a husky female voice.
Smiling he recognizes the voice. "Rukia-san what can I help you with, and have you been talking to my former Fukutaicho?"
"Urahara what you can help me with is a new gigai, and no I haven't been speaking with Hiyori" responds the voice on the other end of the phone. "Hollow incursions into the mortal world haven't been this bad in years. Can you make a new gigai that lasts a bit longer this time?
"Yes princess... I'll make it industrial strength just for you."
"Princess? Have you been drinking Urahara-san?...now when can you have it done by? This one isn't completely useless yet but I don't have more than a week."
"I've got to have two done for when the back up team arrives it'll be just as easy to have a third done, so about four days?"
"Four days will work Urahara-san so unless something happens I'll see you then."
Hanging up the phone again Kisuke Urahara, former Shinigami and artist, heads to his secret workroom to begin crafting three new gigai.
