Soul of Internet Fire
So it's been a week since Konoha's surprise visitor showed up at the Kurosaki Residence, and basically moved in without hesitation. They had indeed investigated his appearance, and other than a simple hand signature that mysteriously appeared on the visitor clipboard at the gates, Sekai was not infiltrating a shinobi village. Although, he was under heavy scrutiny, and under a watch patrol by scheduled ANBU that still followed the Kurosaki Clan. If Sekai was offended or noticed his shadows, he did not show it.
Because Ichigo clearly vouched his relations to the family, Tsunade couldn't do much accept welcome him to the village, and submit to registering in the village if he was going to live with the Kurosaki Clan. Sekai filled out all the necessary paperwork without a fuss or a complaint to confirm his residency. He declined joining the ninja ranks, and he did not allow the confiscation of his Zanpakutō due to being a civilian (owning a katana would be considered being armed or something along those lines).
So like Ichigo's ability to manifest his Zanpakutō from his soul, Sekai pretty much did the same with Kurohime after Ichigo informed the Hokage Sekai's sword was also his Zanpakutō, but he was not a Shinigami. Reports from Kakashi and Gai informed Tsunade that the man before arriving in Konoha had been ambushed by attackers likely after Ichigo and his sisters, but he took care of them before leaving for the Elemental Countries. She also learned of names that the man dropped; they sounded mostly female such as Alice, Marisa, Reimu, Yukari, Nitori, and Sakuya. The honorific "sama" for a woman named Remilia indicated he likely was some sort of servant or held high respect for this individual.
"I'm just an ordinary guy with an interesting life," Sekai would tell his audience when asked. He's also begun to wear Kisuke's hat wherever he went, and when he was seen in public, he was wearing what the disguised elf yōkai would tell the humans his butler's uniform; again a hint to the Hokage the man was some type of servant to a noble.
So, yes... It's been a week, and the ten minute fireworks display was tonight.
Ichigo just arrived to the house and entered the residence, when he was greeted by sounds coming from the TV. It sounded like live action, and it was not the game consoles that were always a topic of discussion by the ninja (or mostly Naruto when he tried to see what made it so great).
Kon's voice could be heard chanting yes repeatedly.
"What's going on here?" Ichigo asked aloud, entering the living room.
There on the TV was a wrestling ring and the logo for World Wrestling Entertainment on the lower right corner of the screen. Two known wrestlers were currently fighting in the center of the squared circle. Kon was on the table, wearing a tiny grey t-shirt with the words "YES! YES! YES!" printed on the front.
"Oh, hey Ichigo!" Sekai waves to his godson. He was in casual wear consisting of an RKO Outta Nowhere t-shirt and grey sweat pants.
"What in the hell is this? This world doesn't have cable or satellite television!"
"I know, but I managed to get my friend to help me solve that problem in a week or two. Right now we got high-speed internet, have my console on, and turned to the WWE Network App."
And a blonde-haired woman Ichigo just noticed sitting in the other couch adjacent from where Sekai sat turns her head and gives him a smile in greeting and a gentle wave of her hand. She is wearing a deep purple dress, a pale pink mob cap on top her head with a thin red ribbon tied neatly around the cap, and she has smaller ribbons tied liberally on her accessories and the tips of her long hair. Long brown boots with dark laces adorn her feet, the height of the footwear just a few inches below the knee. A pink lace parasol leans against the couch arm of her seating.
"You remember Yukari, right?"
"My, Ichi-kun, you've certainly grown up since I last saw you," the woman teases the now older teenager, who was close to becoming a man and leave behind his teenage years.
Sekai smirked. With a flick of his hand, the prepared tea floated over and refills his cup.
"Yukari wanted to visit so I invited her here. None of the ninjas know, of course. I doubt they'd take it well a mysterious woman somehow got into their village without going through the gates of that strange invisible barrier that surrounds the village."
"Barrier?"
"Yeah," he waves off the confusion from Ichigo, "I figure it's basically their way of an early detection system if clients or ninjas native to the village or foreign come near Konoha. That and Yukari's ability to manipulate the boundaries; barriers can count as a type of boundary."
Ichigo sighs in mild frustration. So, his hunches were proven correct: Sekai managed to get the only house in a ninja village internet access from another world. Yeah, this world seems to have signs of having computers, or personal ones by visits at the hospital, but nothing that would indicate they had a form of expanded wired internet. Or if they did he didn't see any indications.
"Okay, so how did you accomplish something that otherwise sounds mindboggling?"
Sekai smiled, and looks to Yukari.
"Well, it wasn't that hard to open one of my gaps. Sekai had to do some wiring in the house, of course. But after he got some wires threaded through the walls and to out here, he has the main cable connected via his PC in his bedroom. From there, it was tricky to connecting one of the wires with one of my gaps without frying the optic wires within the insulated cable cord."
Sekai picks up from here. "Some trial and error and we have a working form of internet. I, of course, am paying for the internet we have, albeit it's on Yukari's name. We're going to try cable television next. But, I'm wondering if I'm going to connect it to the living room TV or just have it wired to my personal TV in my bedroom."
Ichigo face palms.
"I'm the Yōkai of Boundaries, Ichigo. There's no boundary in existence I can't manipulate. This one was quiet tricky, I will admit."
Kon looks to Ichigo, waving a paw at him. "I'm actually glad Yukari got us internet! Do you know how much WWE I've been missing, Ichigo?"
"Never knew you were a fan of professional wrestling," Ichigo dismissed Kon. Turning to Sekai, "So how will I explain what internet is to a civilization that has never heard of such a concept?"
"It's an almost every day commodity and common use from back home. If they still complain or want more explanations, tell me and I'll tell them to stuff it after a quick lesson."
"Don't go pissing them off, Sekai. It's bad enough you get watched because you refuse to hide Kurohime or leave her at home. This is a shinobi village."
"Yeah, I know. It's a military village where kids as young as five can become a trained killer. Look, nothing bad will happen, and I promise not to browse online porn. Same with Kon. Right?"
Kon wished he had fingers so he could give the elf yōkai the middle finger. So, he made due with his paw mimicking the rude finger gesture. Oh, and waving it at Sekai in the process. "Screw you! I'll look up hot chicks with sexy boobs, and then watch lovely videos online of hot playboy bunny girls, and-"
"Two girls, one cup," Sekai bluntly tells Kon.
Kon's cheerful and perverted manners quickly washed away to horror and despair.
"NO! ANYTHING BUT THAT EVIL VIDEO!" Kon all but screamed in abject fear, and he ran from the living room to hide. His WWE shirt floated to the coffee table top, discarded.
Yukari gave Sekai a light glare. "Don't bring that video title up. Even I find that disturbing."
Ichigo looked a bit pale around the face. He's had the unfortunate moment of being shown that video as a prank by Keigo. It was disgusting and he couldn't look at chocolate ice cream for months after the scarring. And it ranked up worst than getting pierced by a Cero Obscuras by Ulquiorra in Hueco Mundo during the Winter War.
"Well, it'll at least keep Kon from doing anything perverted, or try and steal your body with the Soul Candy switch," the elf tells his godson.
Sekai grabs the game controller, holds down the Home button, and quits the WWE Network application, ending the viewing of Wrestlemania XXX.
"This is on you, Sekai," Ichigo tells the elf, deciding to want to move on from this sudden discovery.
Yukari finishes her cup of tea. "Well, that was a wonderful visit. But I should be going before someone who never saw me before raises alarms. I wouldn't want my two favorite boys to get in trouble because of me." She stands up from her seat, and grabs her parasol. "Sekai, I'll have Ran bring over some more Darjeeling tea packets next time when we decide to work on your cable TV bit."
Sekai smiles, standing up and embracing the Gap Yōkai.
"Just don't take any long naps, Yukari-chan."
"No promises," she replies. She looks back to Ichigo. "Now, Ichigo, don't forget you got a lot of help from Sekai, and his allies if you ever need them. After some explanations I'm sure I'll be able to convince at least Reimu, Marisa, or Sakuya to help. Maybe Ran too if I order her to."
Ichigo nods slowly. "Yeah, sure..."
With a wave of her hand, a gap in the air appears and it swallows her up completely. The gap then seals itself shut, taking the yōkai away from the Elemental Countries and back to Gensōkyō.
Just in time Yukari disappeared, because there was a knock on the door.
"Ichigo! Is it time for your fireworks show?" came the loud boisterous voice of one Uzumaki Naruto, future Rokudaime Hokage.
Sekai offers a smirk. "Well, I'll get changed into something more comfortable and meet you outside?"
"Yeah. Don't take too long," Ichigo told Sekai, heading to the exit.
He just had to put in the back of his mind Sekai's brazen way of getting internet in their house, and focus on delivering one hell of an impressive fireworks show. He only prayed Sekai wouldn't cause too much ruckus in the village...
Famous last words.
