The God-father and the Memories…Wait what?
Kotetsu Isane, lieutenant of the 4th division, was walking in the 1st division barracks direction where a reunion was taking place. She couldn't wait to tell everyone the good news; maybe it would calm their nerves a little.
Since the end of the battle against the Quincy's the captains and lieutenants were on edge, they needed to calm their subordinates, count the number of deaths, and reconstruct the barracks. All in all the Sereitei was in chaos, especially with the state of their heroin, who hadn't woken up since she defeated the Quincy king, Yhwach.
Recently the lieutenants were allowed to accompany their captains to the meetings, and in all of them there were two guests, self-invited, Urahara Kisuke, the former 12th division captain, and Kurosaki Isshin, the former 10th division captain, former head of the Shiba clan, and more shocking: Kurosaki Ichigo's father.
Both former captains were in Soul Society to help them rebuilt and to have news of the orange-haired shinigami that was in a terrible state, they wanted to know how she was and when she would wake up.
When Isane got to the door leading to the office were the meeting was taking place, she could hear the captains discussing something, and judging from the volume of the voices it was obvious they wouldn't come to a conclusion soon. Well, maybe they will stop the discussion once they hear the news I have to tell them.
She knocked on the door, and after being invited, she opened the door and went inside. The captains were as always in their usual place, except for Kyouraku Shunsui, who was in the place of the Captain Commander. She looked at the place where the 4th division captain was supposed to be and a feeling of sadness went over her, she missed her captain, Unohana Retsu, after she died fighting against Zaraki Kenpachi so that the latter could use his full power and finally hear his Zanpakutou.
After Isane entered everyone went silent looking at her with curiosity, hope and even dread. They knew that the silver-haired lieutenant was on the group entitled to taking care of Ichigo, and if she was there and not in the room of the 4th division barracks, that meant that something happened, good or bad but Ichigo's condition changed.
It was Kyouraku that broke the silence. "Isane-fukutaichou, is there something you wish to tell? Was there any changes in Ichigo-chan's condition?"
"Yes sir, she-" Isane was interrupted when Yamada Hanatarou entered the room. "Kotetsu-fukutaichou! 3rd seated Iemura-san (A/N: Is that is name?) said to give you this, he said it was important." Hanatarou said while handing a letter to her, who opened it and started reading its content.
The more she read the letter the more wide-eyed she became. After reading her hands started to imperceptibly shake, she glanced at Isshin, who was looking at her with a frown marrying his face, and then looked at the other occupants of the office, she sighed I just hope you are wrong Iemura-san, I really do. She wouldn't tell anyone, she couldn't, at least not until it was confirmed or denied, hopefully the latter.
"Very well. Hanatarou please tell Iemura-san that I will talk to him in a few minutes." Hanatarou nodded and then left.
"Is there any problem Kotetsu-san?" Kurosaki Isshin asked making Isane inwardly wince, she really, really hoped Iemura was wrong, dealing with a enraged overprotective father Kurosaki Shiba Isshin was not on her to do list, especially since he was already angry that they had lied to him about his daughter condition.
She could remember when Isshin stormed through the 4th division barracks demanding to know what happened to Ichigo and where she was, Urahara Kisuke and Hirako Shinji with him trying to calm the father down, needless to say it didn't work very well, seeing as the former 10th division captain was very close to unsheathe his zanpakutou at both blondes. It really wasn't a pleasant thing telling the father that his daughter was in risk of dying because of a wound she suffered while fighting the Quincy King, alone. Isshin almost went on a rampage right then and there if it wasn't for the appearance of the Captain Comander.
So no, Isane didn't want to tell him about it. She valued her life, thank you very much!
"No there is no problem, it's just about a new healing kido that is being developed." The healer said with a smile – supposed to be reassuring – and was relieved to see that Isshin didn't press on the matter and along with the others captains seemed to believe in her, though Kyouraku and Urahara gave her suspicious looks, with the latter asking " So, what were you saying about Ichigo's condition?"
"Well, we were able to finally stabilize her, she is not in risk of death anymore. Once she wakes up she will only need resting more two or three months and she will be as good as knew" If Iemura-san is wrong if not, well there is going to be some trouble. Isane said – of course the last part she only said it in her mind. The reactions were almost instantaneous: Rukia, who had been silent the whole time, broke in tears of happiness with a big relieved smile in her face – her best friend won't die!; Renji was fairing a little better than Rukia, he also had a big smile in his face but wasn't crying – though the shaking told otherwise; and Isshin, well he flew out the window in direction of the 4th division, ignoring every shout for him to wait; Some captains and lieutenants like Hitsugaya, Matsumoto, Ukitake and Shinji also had smiles in their faces, while other more emotionless such as Byakuya and Soi Fong nodded their heads; needless to say Mayuri didn't have any reaction whatsoever.
Kyouraku sighed when he saw Isshin leaving – through the window – and ended the meeting so that some of them could go see the orange-haired woman, even though she hadn't woken up yet.
Isane was leaving with the others when she heard the Captain Commander call her "Kotetsu-fukutaichou, stay for a moment please. I wish to talk with you."
Isane stopped and turned so that she was facing Kyouraku, more than a little nervous – panicking – the Captain Commander was looking at her with a very serious expression on his face, which didn't mean nothing good. In the corner of her eye she saw that Urahara Kisuke hadn't moved at all, and she started inwardly panicking even more, if the former captain heard what she was about to be forced to say there was no guarantee that he wouldn't tell Isshin.
Kyouraku also looked at Urahara and was about to say something – probably asking him to leave – when the latter said "I will stay here Kyouraku-soutaichou, I'm very curious about that new kido being developed. I may not be a kido master, but I'm fairly good at it if I say so myself".
Kyouraku smirked when he saw the smile being directed at the 4th division lieutenant, it was obvious that Urahara knew she was lying – no one could lie to the master in that field – besides, the excuse she gave was a very bad one, Shunsui was sure that Isshin didn't believe either, but the wish to see his daughter was bigger.
Well he couldn't blame the woman for lying, especially if what she was hiding was something big about Ichigo. Heck if it was him, he would probably send some unseated officer to tell Isshin – and serve as some kind of punch bag – so that when he next saw him, he wouldn't kill him on the spot…hopefully.
"Okay then, Kotetsu Isane tell us what is in that letter?"
"I-I already told you, it was just information about a new kido." Isane once again lied while looking in the corner of her eyes where Urahara was standing.
"Mah, don't worry too much, even if I and Isshin-san are old friends, I valorize my life and don't wish to cross the river quite yet." Urahara said with a smile in his face "But you know" suddenly his smile completely disappeard from his face and Isane gulped "There is a little secret that only I and Isshin-san know about, would you want to know?" She nodded nervously dreading what she would be told – she knew that even if she refused he would tell her anyway "When Ichigo was born it was decided that I would be her god-father, and as such I deserve to know just what the heck is going on!"
It wasn't only Isane who was shocked with that revelation, Kyouraku also couldn't believe his ears and was more than a little doubtful.
"Do you have proof?"
"Proof?" Urahara asked taken aback
"Yes proof. How do we know that you are telling the truth? You could be telling that so that you could know what was happening to Ichigo-chan. Besides I don't think any god-father would allow his god-daughter to risk her life as many times as she did."
Hearing this Urahara looked as if he had been being stabbed, slapped in the face, hit by a car at high speed and dropped a cliff thousands meters high – yeah you get the picture.
Suddenly Urahara looked at the ground and then said "It's not that I allowed, it's just that she wanted to do it. When I trained her so that she would be able to gain her powers to save Rukia I did it because Ichigo asked me to, when she fought against Aizen and lost her powers she did it because she wanted to save everyone. I choose to give her powers back because I could see how sad she was without it, and I let her fight against Yhwach because of her wish to once again save her friends. I couldn't oppose her." He looked at them again and continued "Besides she doesn't know that I'm her god-father and if I did oppose her she would go against me and fight nevertheless saying that what she does is none of my business."
He looked so pained and sad that Kyouraku and Isane believed in him the former putting a hand on Urahara shoulder as a sign of comfort.
"Why didn't you told her?" Isane asked
"Well Icouldnt risk it, if Aizen got news that she was more than just someone who I trained to fight him, he would go after her as to get to me, and after, well I just couldn't find the right time, besides she didn't knew that Isshin was once a captain here in Sereitei, she thought he was a mere high-seated." Kisuke answered.
Kyouraku nodded, it made sense, if Aizen knew about that he would go after Ichigo to capture her and force the former 12th division captain to fight alongside him, and then the Sereitei wouldn't have stood a chance. And Ichigo wouldn't have saved them as many times as she did. In one way it was a good thing, they wouldn't be standing there otherwise, but her condition after the fights, well it was not very good to her. Thinking about her condition…
"So Kotetsu-fukutaichou tell us, what is in that letter?" He asked, but Isane could see that he wouldn't accept any more lies. She sighed and then showed the piece of paper to both man.
Kotetsu-fukutaichou,
I need to talk to you urgently, I know that you went to the captain meeting to tell them about Kurosaki Ichigo's condition, but I really hope that Hanatarou was able to reach you before you talked to them so that you can come back as fast as possible. In some exams we ran at her brain we could find some anomalies that were result of some kind of fall were she hit her head against something. It's not life threatening, but there is the possibility that she may lose her memories.
3rd seated Iemura
After reading the letter Kyouraku looked at Isane and said, well more like ordered "Lead us to where you 3th officer is." Isane nodded and after seeing that both man were following her she went to the 4th division barracks.
