Chapter 14

Back to the present

"Now tell me Kisuke, who was in the wrong?" Isshin asked, downing yet another shot of sake.

"Hard to say, you both seem to have valid points. It seems like you both have to let go of Masaki-chan though.

"It's so stupid, he's jealous of my dead wife for crying out loud!" Isshin slurred.

"Yeah, but perhaps it's time to take down some of her memorabillia...like her portrait in your bedroom, perhaps?"

"How do you know about that?" Isshin asked.

"I've been in your room, Kurosaki-san."

"Isshin."

"Hai, Ishin"

"You know, if he should be jealous of anyone, it should've been you." Isshin said suddenly.

Urahara spatted out his Sake and choked, "Wuh-What?"

"Well he was suspicious of the nature of our relationship back when he first met you in Medical School" Isshin explained, "he wouldn't admit it but he was sooo jealous of you." he laughed.

"Well, you can't blame him, he so had a crush on you , and it wasn't like we didn't try to make him jealous." Urahara chuckled.

"Yeah, you tried so hard to make him admit his crush on me. Bet you didn't realize he was quite attracted to you too."

"Well it makes sense, he wouldn't have felt threatened if he didn't see me as competition." Urahara giggled.

Urahara did not expect what happened next. Isshin leaned in and wrapped his arms around him in a tight hug, which Uraraha hesitantly returned. Urahara gripped onto the back of Isshin's shirt when he breathed into his neck. Kisuke prayed to Kami that Isshin couldn't feel his hard-on, though it was distracting because Isshin's hard on was poking his pelvis. Kisuke knew the hard-on was from the alcohol, he's always hard when he's drunk, but it didn't help.

"Uhm...Isshin...what are you doing?"

"Thanks Kisuke, you're a really good friend you know that?"

Urahara couldn't help but smile, "I'm glad I was able to help."

"And I'm sorry."

"Sorry for what ?"

I'm not dense you know, I did notice that you liked me , even now."

Urahara looked away to hide his blush, "You shouldn't be saying things like that , you got a boyfriend."

"I'm just saying , thank you... I know that's why you care for Ichigo so much."

"You know , I partly helpled Ichigo awaken his Hollow and Shinigami powers to spite you. I know it was against Masaki's wishes, I wanted to train him to be stornger than you."

"And he did become stronger than I ever was."

"You're just saying that because he's your son...I'd still much rather tag team with his father."

"We do make a good tag team, don't we ?" Isshin chuckled.

"Thank you..." Isshin trailed off, and Kisuke could tell he was knocked out. He gave out a sigh and leaned forward to lay Isshin down on the floor. He was about to get up when Isshin grabbed him, muttered Ryuuken's name , and pulled him down into a deep kiss. Kisuke's senses told him to pull himself off , but his inner self loved the kiss, even if it wasn't meant for him , and he found it difficult to pul himself off.

Right then, the door slid open, revealing a stunned looking Ryuuken.
