Hello everyone, back from the hols, and that means Hiatus ends! Anyhow, i'm sorry the hiatus was longer than anticipated, lots of things unexpected happened. My hol was extended further so I could visit my Grandma, she's gettin very ill recently, stroke's and DVT, nasty stuff. Still, she's tougher than old leather, I doubt thats gonna get her down, then i had to go prepare for a surprise wedding! My mams best mate wanted us to go to it, so I got hiked up to a place called Gretney Green, to a rather strange wedding which involved an anvil being used rather than an altar 0.0. Then things took a turn for the worse, one of my great Aunts passed away. Barely knew the woman tbh, but my dad's in sever mourning over it and it's dragging down the atmosphere of the house... then came results day, that was HORRIBLE, 1 B, 2 C's and 1 D when I had been hoping for 4 B's
Still can't have many whines over results, cause I got my place in Uni even with those horrible results! So i'm back to writing now, although this chapter was a horrible one, might as well have been dragging nails over chalk boards for how easy it was to put up with trying to get this done, still hopefully it's good, when I finish this little bit, the quality should return to a better standard, this sounds tilted because I have no idea what I am doing with this.
Well, this is the rest of the excerpt, short but better than nothing (I hope), read on!
That was the longest five minutes of my life… Yoshirou thought as they finally exited the portal, landing in the human realm. During the walk through the intermittent realm, he was literally trapped in an individual world with Soi Fon until they got out. During that time, he couldn't help constantly glancing at the Captain, his head full of distracting thoughts varying from noticing the soft curve of her neck to wondering what it would be like to hold her hand. He was lucky that any time his thoughts started to take a different turn, Taiyou promptly burst in with another mental comment, stopping his train of thought from revealing himself. Even as it was, he was quite surprised he had kept his composure throughout the entire walk, as well as half shocked that his own thoughts could get that immature, being a person who had lived for two hundred years.
Don't forget although our ages are different, our anatomies match humans, your still the mental age of a human whose not even reached twenty, although strange as they are, I doubt your thoughts are any different from a shinigami the same age.
Oh well, I'll ask Unohana about it another time Yoshirou thought as he stretched his arms again, trying to once again distract himself from staring at the petite captain. He was surprised that Soi Fon had been extremely quiet throughout the transition; she hadn't spoken a word, her posture strangely tense as far as he could tell. He was still just as confused as to why they were even here, she said he was an escort, but he had no idea why, his head made up a hundred different scenarios, including a few that he wouldn't have considered before today, but he still couldn't be sure.
Looking about, he found that they had exited somewhere near a bridge, beside a river area. The area struck him as oddly similar to whatever place Kurosaki had decided to go to when he returned to the human realm from Soul Society, an embankment along the river edge. Before his eyes, he watched as the Hell Butterfly who had guided him retreated back into the portal, flying lazily alongside its partner butterfly as their guides retreated back to Soul Society. As the doors slid closed with a wooden sound, the portal disappearing, Soi Fon sighed to herself, her eyes shut as she concentrated on something.
As Yoshirou watched, she flicked a strand of her longer hair back behind her head again, before opening her eyes and turning to him. "Well, now we are here, you might as well know there was no mission."-Soi Fon said as she glanced away, for some reason unable to look him in the face. Well I knew that from the start Yoshirou thought as he sighed, scratching his head slightly. "So, what business do you have in the Human Realm."-Yoshirou asked, slightly surprised as he saw her suddenly look sharply at him in annoyance. "It's not business, I brought you here for a different reason fool!"- Soi Fon snapped back at him, before suddenly stopping, shaking her head in annoyance again.
She breathed in deeply, before saying-"I wanted to apologise for how I acted earlier, so I invited you to come with me here today, that's all…" Yoshirou was slightly amused as how she passed off her ordering him to escort her as an invitation, but didn't comment, instead smiling as he decided to test the waters, find out whether his growing suspicion as to his purpose here might be correct or not. Yoshirou said-"You didn't really need to bring me along to the Human Realm, I would have been fine going about Soul Society with you…" watching her reactions as he said so. He was completely taken by surprise by both the lack on an insult to contradict what he said and the slight growing flush on her face. "…well I would have preferred not to be in Soul Society, far too many people comment every time I'm seen with you."-Soi Fon replied gradually, before suddenly walking away, shouting back-"Hurry up or I'm just going to leave you behind."
Yoshirou stood there for a second, stunned by her words before coming to his senses, catching up with the fast disappearing Captain. What the hell does that mean then? Would this count as some sort of date?
*Sigh* when you go to talk about Unohana, ask her for me is it possible for a person to be a tactical genius and a completely ignorant idiot at the same time.

Yoruichi stretched her arms lazily as she walked through the Urahara store. It had been a boring few days in the company of the Sou Taichou, going over plans for some mass barrier arrangement they were planning for in the upcoming battle. It was all rather boring for her since she had absolutely no mention of a part in the process. As such, Urahara had suggested that she look after the Urahara store while they were continuing their plans, and she had been more than happy to comply. Now the problem was that there was very little to do, other than to eat, sleep and make sure the kids did their work about the store, Tessai and Urahara had remained with Yamamoto and the specialist task force he had arranged to scout the area for suitable markers for the mass arrangement they were planning, and so she had nobody to *play* with. The Vizards had as good as kidnapped one of her play toys, while the other was no doubt kept under lock and key for breaking rules again.
She contemplated perhaps trying to contact her estranged pupil again; the last time they had met over a week ago she had acted particularly curiously, asking some very strange and suspicious questions. Yoruichi felt slightly left out, in the past Soi Fon had doted entirely on her, but now it seemed she was too distracted by her new status as a teacher to think of Yoruichi. She was still happy and polite with her, but it seemed her mind focused not on Yoruichi, but on her new focus, the loss of complete attention and affection from the girl affected Yoruichi more than she had anticipated, she felt rather alone now she had lost her cute bodyguard. Oh well, you can't leave for a hundred years and expect everything to return to the way it was Yoruichi mused as she sat down on a cushion. She moved on, that's something to be glad of, I was afraid she would remain completely fixated with me, but it seemed he provided some kind of release for her. Still, it was weird that she came to me for that kind of advice…
As Yoruichi pondered just what Soi Fon had been planning, her thoughts were disrupted by the appearance of two massive reiatsu, appearing from nowhere in front of the Urahara store. Yoruichi immediately went on full alert, her mind ringing bells that nobody should be coming from Soul Society, this had to be something from Hueco Mundo coming to call. "Couldn't have picked a worse time"-Yoruichi hissed quietly to herself as she jumped up from the cushion she was sitting on. With Urahara and Tessai away, the store was literally defenceless against any major attack, and since there were two sources, fighting them alone would be difficult. Outside, the two children seemed to sense the disturbance, moving defiantly to stop the opponents. Bad idea, whoever it is is too strong for you! Yoruichi thought as she leapt out of the room, running along the corridor hoping to get out before whoever it was did anything. Clearing the corridor, a single shunpo step found her outside, facing the two intruders.
Jinta had already been defeated in a slightly humorous way, his bat deposited elsewhere as he hung in mid air, struggling to break the grip of the first foe on the back of his shirt. Ururu seemed to have changed her mind, looking curiously at the new opponents, her brush still held in her hands from sweeping the yard. As Yoruichi appraised her foes, she suddenly stopped, looking in surprise at the black robes underneath the white cloaks that represented the elite of Soul Society, a Captain. The one who had grabbed Jinta's shirt smiled as he saw her, raising his other hand in greeting as he said-"Long time no see, Yoruichi-san!" Yoruichi still looked in shock at the two Captains, before blurting out-"What on earth are you two doing here?"
(P.O.V change) (10 minutes later)
Although Soi Fon had taken the lead initially, striding into the town at a fast pace, making Yoshirou think that she had some kind of plan that he was going to have to follow, it soon came clear that she had either forgotten it, or lost confidence in it. She had slowed her pace to a more reasonable one, her head ducked down as she tried to think of something. Yoshirou had been forced to silently follow her, since he had no idea what the Captain had planned. He had been on a few dates himself, during his academy years, his looks and skills had earned him much interest with the female students, but nearly all of them had ended badly, since Yoshirou had often just gone along with it not to insult the girl who had asked him out, when it came to the end he often had trouble with trying to explain that he wasn't actually interested. He knew all the general things you could do on a date, however he had neither experienced a date in the Human Realm, or one where he was actually interested in the girl, he was facing a lot of hurdles to overcome.
Not only did he have to be careful with Soi Fon, due to her nature, but there would be a limit to what they could do. Being in the Human Realm meant nobody could actually see you, or interact with you. He could practically walk through a human like one of their fabled ghosts, since his spiritual makeup differed from the physical make up of a normal human. As such, restaurants were out of the question, or anything to do with food. Also, what would usually interest Soi Fon, sports, was also out, if a single human saw them, it would be a panic about possessed sports equipment, since while they weren't visible, what they interacted with was. It seemed from how Soi Fon was acting, he wasn't the only one plagued with such thoughts, she seemed to not have a clue about what to do.
As she continued to think, Yoshirou decided to chance an arm. Raising his arms behind his head, he asked-"So…there anything you want to do?" Soi Fon glanced up at him, clearly irritated or frustrated by something, before looking back down, snapping-"I already know what to do, I don't need you asking me!" Yoshirou rolled his eyes while she was looking down, half expecting this kind of stubborn answer. If there was something Soi Fon disliked, it was having anything chosen for her. Glancing about the place as they continued to walk, he tried to draw any inspiration from nearby. Across the street, a man in a strange mascot costume was trying to give a balloon to a young child, nearby store's showed goods in the windows to attract buyers, the streets were relatively empty of crowds, the store beside them seemed to play one of those new music tracks that had started to become popular in this decade, and only a couple of humans walking along their daily business. There were no clues whatsoever as to what they could do.
However, he found an idea oddly posted on one of the public bins across the streets, a like poster also seen on a nearby bus stop depicting a man in a strange suit holding one of the bizarre weapons that humans seemed to use to make up for their lack of any spiritual abilities. A production poster? Maybe there's one of those theatres in Karakura town? Yoshirou mused as he slowed to a stop, reading the bottom of the poster, his eyes able to pick up minute details across distances humans would have trouble with. …coming to a…cinema near you? What the hell's a cinema?
Soi Fon seemed to notice his abrupt halt, turning back irritably towards him. However, she stopped as she saw he was looking in another direction. Following his gaze, the words on the poster she saw caught her eye, unlike Yoshirou she actually knew what a cinema was, after her obese Vice Captain had somehow managed to buy rights to build one in his own estate. As far as she had seen when he had offered for her to see it, it seemed to be a building that used newer technology from the real world to make movies which depicted humans playing out stories using technology to make it seem like they had abilities. A load of crap as far as she had seen, with no believable parts to it, but the poster gave her an idea after seeing Yoshirou's curiosity in the picture.
Smirking to herself as she turned back to the path, Soi Fon called back over her shoulder-"Stop lagging or I'll just leave you behind!" Yoshirou's head turned back to the Captain, having picked up from her voice that she must have had some idea, since her voice had lost the irritable tone. Curious as to what she had suddenly come up with, Yoshirou obliged by stepping up his pace until he was following the Captain.
(10 minutes later)
Oh that is one strange building… Yoshirou thought as he looked up. Across the top of the entryway there were flashing signs depicting different absurd titles Otōto…Desu Nōto…Kurosagi….Nichiyobi wa Owaranai… what the heck do those mean? (1) Among the names was another name he had seen earlier, Cinema. It seemed this building was the location Soi Fon had been heading to as she started towards the building. Catching up with her again, Yoshirou asked-"…what exactly is this?" Soi Fon sighed irritably as she responded-"Do you have some strange need to question everything? Just shut up and follow me." Yoshirou chuckled quietly to himself as the Captain walked ahead, her posture showing that she had once again taken the lead rather than being indecisive. Stubborn as hell, well I suppose I just have to follow her Yoshirou thought as he walked behind her, absently struck once again by just how his frame dwarfed hers. However, before he could dwell further, his ears were assaulted by various noises inside the building, conflicting with another. Curious, he walked past the strange booth where a rather obese man was idly chewing on some gum and into the building proper.
He whistled appreciatively as he looked about the massive hall. It seemed the building was made to encompass massive amounts of people at one time, wide hallways which crowds could pass through easily, not that this was a problem at the time, being still school time the town's active population had been halved, so very few people were about. Before him a screen was flashing those strange adverts he had seen over and over, although judging from the lack of watchers, this was not what he was being taken to see. Beside him, Soi Fon seemed to be looking for something else, her head turning as she tried to find whatever she was looking for. Strangely, a young girl seemed to be pulling on her parent's sleeves, pointing in their direction. Another one? Just how many of these towns inhabitants can see Shinigami? Yoshirou wondered as the apparent father seemed to laugh, playing along with whatever the girl had said before walking off, lightly tugging the girl's hand to make her follow. After another wide eyed stare at Yoshirou, the girl relented, following her father into whatever room the massive doors leaded to.
Turning about, he noticed that Soi Fon seemed to be reading some strange bulletin on a wall nearby. Yoshirou walked over to have a look himself, noticing several of the strange names he had seen earlier were noted, along with several numbers that he took to be times. Maybe this is some kind of theatre like I thought? Yoshirou wondered as Soi Fon continued to look at the names. She suddenly clicked her fingers as if to get his attention, before saying-"Desu Nōto or Ototo? There the only two on right now." Yoshirou didn't quite grasp what the question was; yet again Soi Fon had failed to check whether he actually understood what she had said. However, if this was some kind of theatre, he didn't like the idea of seeing a play called Ototo, sounded too much like it would be a drama. However, he also realized that it could be that Soi Fon had wanted to see the other one, so he shrugged in reply, saying-"Either sounds fine to me."
This just got her rolling her eyes again as she remembered he couldn't possibly understand what the two names meant. In all honesty, she didn't either, so she picked randomly. Yoshirou looked on slightly confused as Soi Fon walked away once again towards a new set of doors. Looking above the doors, he saw a strange electrical sign saying *SCREEN 6* with a smaller title saying *Desu Nōto *. Following curiously, carefully avoiding walking into the humans who couldn't see him, he followed Soi Fon inside to another massive room, an entire wall taken up by a strange screen, depicting some kind of motorised vehicle driving across land. The room was filled with random noises from the humans sitting inside on the strange seats; strange crackling sounds from packets being played with and beeps from small handheld machines being played with. As he looked about, he noticed that Soi Fon had seemingly stumbled on some kind of step, cursing under her breath.
"What's wrong?"-Yoshirou asked as Soi Fon stood back straight, obviously irritated by the trip. "What else? I can't see anything but the screen!"-Soi Fon replied frustrated. Yoshirou glanced about, unsure by what she meant, the room was filled with enough light to see easily, although he quickly realised the problem was. Remembering one of the side effects that he had learnt years ago when he had first awoken his zanpakuto, he remembered that his eyes could adjust perfectly to see even in pitch black darkness due to Taiyou amplifying the ambient light in his perception. Remembering it meant that while he thought the light was fine to see by, didn't mean it wasn't for others.
Sighing, he thrust a palm out, gathering a minimal fraction of his reiatsu. Immediately the room filled with light, making Soi Fon jump in surprise. Whipping about, she exclaimed-"What are you doing!" Yoshirou shrugged as he said-"Making some light, don't worry humans can't perceive the light, nobody else will notice." Soi Fon's eyes widened slightly as she glanced at his hand, realising that the light filling the room was emitting from his palm. Nodding slightly, muttering something that Yoshirou guessed was a "thank you", Soi Fon turned back as her eyes scanned the seats about them. Yoshirou did the same, quickly realising that he was mistaken as to how many people were inside the building. It seemed every seat was taken by various different humans, small families, kids skipping school, old people, and even a few foreigners judging from the different language tattoos on the arm of a nearby man. It seemed like there wasn't going to be any seats until a pair of men at the front seemed to tire from watching the strange screen, which was now showing a rather gaudily dressed man screaming some weird mantra (Spirits are always with you!).
Soi Fon noticed the pair leaving, and pointed the seats out to Yoshirou, rather unnecessary seeming as how he had noticed their movements before her. As the men in question walked by them, the distracted pair missed the remarkably shinigami like signature the two individuals reiatsu let out, along with the wide smile on the face of the bald man as he glanced at Yoshirou and Soi Fon, chuckling quietly as he led his feathered companion away, who was also watching them curiously, considering whether the couple he saw would be considered *beautiful* or not (2). This escaped the two Captains notice as they walked to the aisle seat that had been left. As they sat, Yoshirou guessed that this situation was alike to a theatre, but was based about watching an animated performance on the screen instead. As he looked at the screen, he saw the same strange man prancing about, apparently advertising for a famous Television Show, although judging from what he was saying, he was some kind of spiritualist quack, something that drew a small smile on his face as he considered how foolish humans like that just made his task that little bit more difficult.
Soi Fon seemed to recognise the strange man though, as she said-"I think that man has been causing problems in the Human Realm recently, he has some tiny spiritual power, but just keep making things more difficult." Yoshirou laughed as he said-"Well hopefully we won't meet him, I don't fancy being chased by that man screaming *Bad Spirits!*, be a tad annoying." That seemed to elicit a tiny smile from the Captain, but it disappeared as the room suddenly became quieter.
For the next two hours, Yoshirou had a rather amusing experience in the show they watched. At first, he became rather bored of the whole thing, until he heard the using of the term Shinigami, and couldn't help but burst out laughing when the strange apparition they called a Shinigami was shown. It seemed humans had a rather vivid imagination in regards to what Shinigami were; this film depicted them as the beings which controlled the deaths of all humans, and right strange monsters at that. In reality, they were the shepherds of death. Humans brought death upon themselves, the Shinigami merely kept the balance, guiding souls onto their next path in life, cleansing those that had fallen from grace and become hollows, and punishing those who were irredeemable in their actions in their life. In his time as a Shinigami, he had done all of those, guiding the lost souls of humans, cleansing the souls of those who had fallen prey to the hollow and become hollows themselves, and sending the evilest of them, those alike the monster Creedo, down to the depths of hell itself. Also shinigami were every bit the same as humans, just more powerful and longer living.
The show as a whole had been slightly interesting, but he kept finding himself watching Soi Fon's reaction to the show rather than focusing on the screen. At first she had seemed bored, but she had also perked up at hearing the shinigami term, although she pulled a weird face upon seeing the creature the first time, which had probably caused half of the laughing that he went through. Halfway through the movie, Yoshirou had been surprised to find she had, either by accident or deliberately, put her hand on his, although after he had glanced at her, it seemed by accident since she was raptly watching the screen. He was once again struck by how smooth her hand was; at ends with her rigorous martial arts training she had pushed herself through over the years. Regardless of deliberate or not, this action had once again started his thoughts going about the whole situation he was in, breaking his orders to remain in Soul Society in order to go out with a fellow Captain, a story that would have sounded rather cliché had he not been in the middle of it. He wasn't regretting doing so, but he just found it strange to be in this situation.
At the end, as everybody started filing out, Soi Fon turned to say something, but then suddenly seemed to realise the fact that her hand was lying on his. She quickly pulled it away in embarrassment, her face burning red, leaving Yoshirou half disappointed that it had been an accident, and half glad that he had seen her expression like that. "W-Well what did you think of it then?"-Soi Fon quickly asked, trying to cover up her embarrassment awkwardly. Yoshirou smiled slightly as he answered-"Yeah, it was pretty good, not the kind of thing I've seen before…" He was now unsure as to what else to say, but the sudden cramp from his stomach, followed by the stomach growling that made him even more embarrassed than Soi Fon was filled the gap in conversation. Putting a hand awkwardly on his torso as he laughed quietly in shame, Yoshirou realised that he hadn't eaten all day, he had been planning to get something when the message from Soi Fon initially came that morning, and the fight with the Captain had worn him out further. Soi Fon sighed beside him, internally relieved that something had come up to take the attention away from what she had unwittingly done.
Quickly standing up, stretching to relieve the tension that sitting for so long had induced, she looked down at Yoshirou, saying-"Well that says what we should be doing next then, although you could have just said you were hungry instead of making that loud an announcement." Yoshirou looked back up, finding a small amount of humour in how she was taking advantage of this moment to look down at him, before puling himself out of his seat, once again dwarfing the Captain. He was instantly struck by cramp as he realised the effects of sitting too long. Soi Fon smirked slightly as he grimaced in annoyance at his own body, stretching his arms the same as she had. Having managed to work the tiredness from his limbs, Yoshirou said-"Well, how are we supposed to get a meal about here?" Soi Fon paused in surprise, obviously having not thought her new idea through properly. Another silence started as the list of humans who had been in the show scrolled down the viewing screen opposite the two of them, Soi Fon trying to think of an idea.
Yoshirou started to think back to a conversation he had remembered having a week ago, when he had been training at the Hospital with Unohana. During one of his breaks, he had bumped into Hanatarou, who among the many things they had talked about, mentioned that in some mix up he had managed to get a job within the human realm as a store clerk. (3) While it would be a long shot to hope that Hanatarou had returned to the real world and would be there, Yoshirou closed his eyes as he threw out his senses, hoping to find the familiar ebb from the reiatsu of the medic. He was half surprised to find it quite close by, the reiatsu paired with a second recognisable one within a building nearby. Opening his eyes, he realised Soi Fon was watching him, an eyebrow raised quizzically at what he was doing. Smiling, Yoshirou said-"I think I know a place where we can get something, it's quite close by too."
(10 minutes later)
As they arrived, the sky starting to get dark as the evening came on, Yoshirou saw the store Hanatarou had talked about, seemingly more a gas station store than a convenience store like the boy had said. As Yoshirou looked in the store, he was glad to find he was right; standing behind the counter was a pair of recognisable figures in Gigai, serving a man inside the store. Turning to Soi Fon, he asked-"Is there anything you want in particular from in there?" Soi Fon thought for a second, before replying-"Not particularly, just don't pick anything bad." And how am I supposed to know what you consider bad? Yoshirou complained internally as he walked into the store. As he did so, the human in question left, and he overheard Ganju saying-"Man, not many people in today, musta been a slow day." Yoshirou ignored the words as he looked over the food aisles, not sure what to choose. In the background, Hanatarou replied-"Well the less people there are, the less chance we will be rushed off our feet again Ganju-san, that was terrible yesterday!" Yoshirou quickly located something interesting, choosing some strange packed sandwich for himself, but unsure what to get for Soi Fon, settled upon a box of sushi.
Now to hope their feeling generous Yoshirou thought as he walked over to the counter where Ganju was continuing his complaining. Hanatarou noticed him first, but didn't recognise him immediately, putting on a strange smile as he said-"G-Good evening, how can I be of service?" However, the smile turned to a look of surprise as it dawned on him who he was looking at. "Yoshirou-san, h-how come you're here?"-Hanatarou exclaimed, catching Ganju's attention at the same time, who made a strange noise that sounded somewhere between a squeak and a growl in surprise of seeing the shinigami. Yoshirou replied-"Just getting something to eat hopefully, but I kinda forgot to bring anything, so do you guys mind me just taking these and bringing some money another time?" Hanatarou seemed to consider this, but Ganju instantly replied-"No freakin way, I ain't giving a Shinigami anything for free!" Yoshirou couldn't help but get pissed off at the way Ganju said that, saying-"That's cheap, considering how many times I saved your ass for free." Ganju sneered in reply, saying arrogantly-"You callin' me weaker than a shinigami? Wanna take this outside?"
Before it could go any further, Hanatarou broke the argument up, desperately saying-"G-Ganju-san, he could easily destroy the whole store in an instant, don't start a f-fight for no reason, please!" Ganju looked like he was about to reply, but taking another look at Yoshirou, just went Tch! before looking away, obviously annoyed that he had lost the bravado match between them. Sighing with relief, Hanatarou said-"You can have those, Yoshirou-san, I think there's so many things in this store one missing item or two won't go astray, so please enjoy your meal!" Yoshirou smiled with relief as he said-"Thanks, I owe you one Hanatarou!" Ganju and Hanatarou watched as he left in a rush, the door automaticly closing behind him. Growling in annoyance, Ganju said-"Why in hell did ya give in so easy? You need a spine replaced kid." Hanatarou shook his head, saying-"No, he looked like he needed them, and anyway, okyaku-sama wa kami-sama, right Ganju-san?" Ganju gave Hanatarou a disbelieving look at the horrible pun, before lightly bringing his fist down on the top of his head in reply, leaving Hanatarou with a rather sore patch on his head. (4)
Chapter over, tbh this is probably only half a chapter, unless I get lazy and skip the second half. Hopefully quality will improve soon, so please keep reading even if this doesn't sound like as good as it should be, it should pick up again soon!
(1) This is a list of real Japanese movies that have come out since 2000, the more sharp out of you will be thinking Desu Noto sounds rather familiar, well it should, it's the Romanji direct translation for Death Note lol.
(2) If you don't recognise this pair, you need to read Bleach again from the very start!
(3) Yes, I know that was filler, but give me a break, this chapter has been hell to write, I needed something to do!
(4) The pun is that this term is used as a ways to say something alike the western term "The customer is always right". However, it actually means "The customer is a god", a horrible pun on Yoshirou being a shinigami, a "Death God" so to say (shoot me now, since I came up with that horrible pun all on my own roflmao)
