urahara's brillant green eyes opened suddenly. he sat up in the darkness. what was that noise...?
urahara glanced at the clock beside him. 2:17 am. there was a shuffle of clothes a soft thump of the doors where he kept his old inventions.
trying to keep quiet, he slipped through the doors leading to his backroom. the dull light of a flashlight illuminated a tall figure. there was also a reddish glow. blonde eyebrow went up. he recongized the reiastu and figure. but what was he doing at 2 in the morning in his shop, sneaking around in the backroom?
he didn't do anything, just stayed still as the figure searched through his possesions in search of something in particular. upon finding the object, he hastily pulled it on.
urahara cleared his throat to announce his presence. the figure turned around quickly, dropping his flashlight.
"my, my what brings you here?" urahara asked softly, his eyes glowing with knowing. " 'specially since i heard you're on the run, my friend."
"i didn't do it."
the shopkeeper leaned against the doorframe in his dark green robes. "everyone says that."
"i didn't do it. they have the wrong guy."
"then why did you run?"
"i don't have time for this." the voice replied coldly. he brushed past the ex-captain towards the door.
kisuke blocked the door with his cane. it glowed a bright red for a moment and the figure glimsped the silver gleam of a sword. "may i ask why you have my 'special' coat?"
"i need it. i'll return it when i'm finished." the voice answered unhappily.
the figure walked through the door and vanished into the darkness of the night.
the green eyes softened at the retreating figure. he understand the need to run when you get accused, even if you're completely innocent. aizen so graciously showed his that experience. still, that made you look guilty nonetheless.
breathing into the cold morning air, he spoke his thoughts aloud. "my, my, renji-san, what have you done?"
((Author's Note: Sorry this chapter is so short, it's just to explain where the "black coat" came from. The one that Kisuke used to attack Aizen in the Turn Back The Pendulum series. Will update soon.))
