(Urahara's store)
I felt a pang of excitement as we got to Kisuke-san's store. Kisuke-san is my Master and I would be very glad to see him truly happy. Outside the store we saw Jinta and Ururu cleaning.
"Oh! Ohayoo!!! Welcome to Urahara's store!"
"If it isn't the orange head and the freeloader-san with company!" said that brat, Jinta.
"Shut it kid. Where's Kisuke-san?" I asked
"Inside, still sleeping." Said Jinta
"Should I wake him up for you, Kurosaki-san?" asked Ururu.
"Yes please."
"Hai! Right away!"
"Kurosaki-kun?" Inoue said, Oh I forgot! I owe them an explanation.
"Inoue, Ishida, I've become a captain."
"That's why you left?" asked Ishida
"But what about your family, Kurosaki-kun?"
"Well…"
"Kurosaki-san! What brings you here to my humble sto..." Kisuke-san had stopped talking when he laid his eyes on Kosuke. He can tell he's his son.
"Urahara! We need gigais!" said Rukia, suddenly.
"Oh! Uhh…" He probably still couldn't believe it.
"Urahara-san, these guys need gigais too." Said Renji, referring to Ayame and Kosuke.
"E-excuse me for not introducing myself sir! I am Kanako Ayame! Vice-captain of the 3rd division! It's a pleasure to meet you!"
"And I am Shimada Kosuke sir! Vice-captain of the 12th squad! Kosuke held out his hand to Kisuke-san and he shook it. I noticed a smile, a real one, had appeared on Kisuke-san's face. He looked as if he was about to cry tears of joy.
"Minna-sama, please come inside and have some tea first while the manager arranges gigais for you?" said that bulky tall man, Tessai.
"A-ano Urahara-san? Will you please let go of my hand?" said Kosuke.
"Oh uhhh… Sorry about that Shimada-san. E-excuse me I have go." Said Kisuke-san as he left in a hurry, a little embarrassed at what had just happened. I decided to follow Kisuke-san up the storehouse upstairs while the others were having tea in the living room with Tessai-san.
"Kisuke-san…"
"Yorouichi told me about your promotion Ichigo. I know you'll make a very good captain."
"About Kosuke-kun…"
"Ichigo… Thank you…"
(Urahara's store, living room)
"Wow! So this is what it feels like to be in a gigai!" said Kosuke trying out his gigai and jumping up and down. Kisuke-san watched Kosuke with amusement.
"It has a weird feel to it." Said Ayame who was also a first time user of a gigai.
"At first you'd feel really awkward in it, but after a couple of hours you'll get used to it, Kanako." Said Renji
"H-hai, Abarai-taichou."
"Freeloader-san has become a taichou! Sugoi!" said Ururu
"Yeah, it really is amazing that the freeloader became a captain!" said Jinta
"Hey what do you mean by that?"
"ANYWAY, guys I have to go. I need my body after all!" I said. I asked Kon to pretend to be me while I was gone because I didn't really think I'd be gone for that long! He must be dying to get out of my body. (maybe)
"Ichigo I'll go with you." Said Rukia as she stood up. "Oi Renji take care of things here while Ichigo and I are away."
"Teme Rukia! I'm supposed to be the one to give orders around here! I'm in charge of this mission you know!"
"Shut it newbie! Now let's go!" Rukia began dragging me outside
"H-hey wait! Guys! I'll be back! Ayame, contact me if anything comes up. Oh and Urahara-san, Enjoy!" Rukia and I left and headed towards my house.
"What did Kurosaki-san mean by that, Kisuke-san?" asked Ururu
"Oh! Nothing! Everyone, are your gigais ok? Or should I make adjustments?"
"This gigai has been made perfectly Urahara-san! You really are a genius!" said Kosuke
"I'm not that good Shimada-san so please don't flatter me…"
"What are you talking about? You're a legend in the 12th squad, Urahara-san! I don't know the real reason why you were exiled but all of your creations are flawless!"
"T-thank you, Shimada-san" said Urahara as he blushed at Kosuke's words.
"Hey look! Shimada made Urahara-san blush! Haha!" said Renji
"Hey you're right!" said Inoue
"Minna!!!! I've prepared food for lunch so please stay until then!" interrupted Tessai.
"We can't stay for lunch, Tessai-san, Urahara-san. Orihime and I went grocery shopping and we need to get these foods home or they might spoil." Said Ishida
"That's too bad Inoue, Tessai-san is a good cook!" said Renji
"Are you going to be freeloading off of us again?!" said Jinta
"I'll kill you, you brat!"
"We'll come by later, or tomorrow! Uryuu and I will gladly help you with your mission!"
"Yes, call us if you need help. Bye."
"Goodbye everyone! See you later!" said Inoue as she and Ishida left the Urahara store.
"It's too bad about Inoue-san, she's a hottie!" said Kosuke
"Shimada! Cut it out! It's really freaky when you suddenly change personalities like that!" said Renji
"Y-yes I agree with Abarai-taichou, it is rather frightening Shimada-kun" said Ayame
"Hehe… Sorry…"
"Freeloader-san!" called Tessai
"Would you please stop it with the "freeloader" already?"
"Can I ask a favor? We've run out of some stuff here that I need for the food. Can you be so kind as to go buy some for us? Freeloader-san?"
"Argh! Fine! Kanako, you wanna go? You wanted to see the town right?"
"H-hai Abarai-taichou! Arigato!" said Ayame as she went with Renji.
"Ururu, Jinta, back to work!" said Tessai as the only people who were left in the living room were Urahara and Kosuke. It was Tessai's plan to get rid of Renji and the others so Urahara could spend time with Kosuke. Tessai knew for a long time now about Kosuke.
"So… Shimada-san? What would you like to do?"
"Well, I don't really know my way around here so I'll probably just hang out here. Is that okay with you, Urahara-san?"
"Of course!"
"Ano, Urahara-san?"
"H-hai?"
"You're Kurosaki-taichou's master, right?"
"I guess I am, though I only taught him for 10 days."
"I'm rather curious Urahara-san. Do you mind showing me the released form of your Zanpakuto, if you don't mind that is?"
"Sure, why not? Here goes. Okiro, Benihime." Said Urahara as he drew his zanpakuto, which was hidden in his cane, and released it. Benihime, the crimson princess.
"I knew it." Said Kosuke
"Knew what, Shimada-san?"
"That you're my father."
a/n: What the…? How did Kosuke know? Read the next one to find out! Sorry for this update! I just have a lot going on right now… and there's these mental blocks I've been having. Reviews okay? Pretty please??? I'm not sure if I got it right but the literal translation of benihime is crimson or deep red princess. Don't sue me if it's wrong okay? I'm only human! Read and Review the next one, okay? I'll update in 2-3 days…
