Chapter 1: The Beginning
Young Shaolin Fon, or better known as Soifon, was a petite and skinny child. Her only family consisted of a man called Kisuke Urahara. This man had adopted her after he had found her hiding in an alleyway, accompanying by the side of her dead family as they were killed by muggers in the streets.
Kisuke was not a rich man to start with and was often dubbed as a weird old man due to the fact that he liked to wear ridiculous green clothing, clothings that consisted of a weird green striped hat complete with his fan. He used to be a scientist that was well-known but after an invention that had gone awry, he had lost his only source of income and aspiration. A fall from former glory, the man could only to coop up at home and live in denial – no one wanted to hire a scientist that had failed for fear that it would tarnish their reputation.
Despite of this, somehow Kisuke could still afford to send Soifon to school due to the successes of his past inventions but after paying for school fees, the remainder was not enough to provide for the both of them. Kisuke would always choose to give up his share of food but Soifon would think otherwise. They would end up having a fight over it as a result and they were both tired of the same thing happening every day. Compromising, the two of them would only have two meals per day, all consisting of wet lettuce and porridge with the condition that the young girl had a larger share.
Every day, Soifon would leave her house (or should we say hut) way before the school time just to walk slowly to school and conserve her energy for she could not afford to waste her strength on something she has control on. However, after a short distance from home, she would stop for a few minutes and stare at the building that covered more than half of the street.
That particular building was one of the world's largest chocolate factory!
"See that factory over there, it is ran by a beautiful woman, Yoruichi Shihouin. She is a genius I tell you. She is a prodigy at making chocolates. Even after many years of researching, I still cannot unriddle the recipe of creating chocolates that can purr like cats." Kisuke recalled, saliva close to drooling as he went on and on about the inventions of the finest chocolates.
"But soon, she had to close down her factory because of some nasty people. People like Mayuri Kurotsuchi," He spat in disgust. "He was a dirty cheat, sending in spies to steal her recipes. One of the worst case was from his spy named Nemu. She had been through almost every single room in the factory and had stolen countless of recipes and very soon, Kurotsuchi's factory began to produce chocolates that are identical to Yoruichi's and claimed it as his own."
"Yoruichi could not take it and in the end closed down her factory. All engines were turned off and smoke was no longer producing in the chimney, indicating that no more chocolates were going to be produced. Everything was in complete silence. It was such a shame though. With that brilliant brain of hers, she could easily overpower that jerk with even more of her specialty chocolates..."
Reminiscing the times Kisuke had told her about the factory, she whispered to herself, "How nice it would be to visit the inside of the factory and see what it is like."
A few more minutes passed and Soifon realized that she needed to move now if she didn't want to use up more energy than she should to walk to school because she might be late. Smiling at the factory, she turned around and headed towards the direction of the school.
One day, on her way back from school, as usual, Soifon was walking back home, feeling more tired than usual when she heard a commotion at the end of the street. She was suddenly pushed down by a fat boy wearing purple with beads around his neck, whom she recognized as Omaeda from her school.
"Out of the way you shorty shrimp!" The obnoxious boy sneered as he ran towards the crowd. Feeling anger, Soifon picked herself up from the ground and glaring at the boy's back, hoping to burn a hole through the back of that fat boy.
All of a sudden, a flying bottle hit Omaeda straight behind the head and the boy immediately fell face-flat onto the ground due to the sudden force. With an eyebrow raised, Soifon scanned her surroundings, trying to find the culprit who had thrown the bottle but the numerous people who were walking around prevented her from pinpointing anyone out accurately. However, in a split second, she saw a purple-haired lady with caramel skin grinning at her and fiddling with a bottle cap. Soifon blinked, not knowing if the person was directing the grin at her but after she did, the purple-haired was nowhere to be seen as the sea of people became larger and larger. A hallucination, or something else, Soifon didn't care but she gave a silent thanks to her while watching Omaeda clumsily picking himself up, looking around frantically, and obviously searching for his attacker.
Reaching the end of the street, Soifon finally knew why everybody was excited. The smell of chocolate was in the air. Chimneys were puffing out smoke.
The chocolate factory had resumed operation!
Excitedly, using every ounce of her strength, she sprinted home to tell the good news to Kisuke even though she had originally planned to save her energy today for the weather would be cold. Round the corner of the street, dodging people on the way, she was almost home. Sweat trickled down her face but strangely enough, she was filled with energy. Panting slightly, she opened the door and was about to yell for Kisuke's name but she was beaten as the man had got to her first.
"Soi-Chan! The factory! The factory it has restarted! It is not a dream! It's a dream come true!" shouted Kisuke as he greeted the young girl with a rib-crushing hug before releasing her and pulling her into a spinning dance.
"And also, look at this!" He shoved a newspaper into Soi's face. Still a little dizzy from the spin, she read the article aloud:
'Dear Chocolate lovers, I am proud to inform you that I, Yoruichi Shihouin, had finally made a comeback. Not only that, I will also allow 5 children – 5 only, to enter my factory to see the production of my prized chocolate. Inside 5 bars of 'Kitty's Purr Chocolate" will be a Golden Pawprint. That Pawprint will be your red carpet into my factory. I really do look forward to meeting these 5 lucky winners. Good luck and happy hunting! Signed off, Yoruichi.'
Soifon was rendered speechless. She continued to stare at the newspaper in disbelief while Kisuke was still singing his song of excitement.
'Is it really true? Has my thoughts been conveyed to the Lady?'
