Chapter VI: About Plans and Meetings

Ishida put one last shirt in his suitcase because he knew spying would take a lot of time. He sighed heavily while remembering what Ichigo had said to him. Being a spy wasn't a pleasurable business of course, even after Ichigo told him what happened between himself and Aizen he had known that. Too many times Ishida had heard about Ichigo's tortures and Ishida complained to Ichigo about it even though Ishida knew those tortures might also happen to him.

- Orihime, I need to go now.

Orihime was watching him the whole time as he chose his outfits for his future role. She looked very sad to see her husband risking his life again against a crime lord. The last time it didn't work very well because Aizen had kidnapped the both of them. She knew he could be imprisoned in the crime lord's house again.

- I don't want to see you in one these horrible cells just like all these girls. I wouldn't be able to bear it. I don't want to lose you.

Ishida put his hand over his wife's shoulders and he felt her trembling. He took her in his arms to calm her even though it was difficult. They both knew Ishida might die during his mission in the crime lord's house if he was discovered. Yet they hoped this wouldn't happen and Orihime knew Ishida would be careful.

- I am sorry, Orihime but I do it for duty. I hope I will see you again. I know our work will succeed and please, trust me just like you did all this time when we were in Aizen's cell.

Orihime hardly breathed as she put her forehead on Uryû's shoulders. She held him against her for several minutes and Ishida hoped his wife would let him go soon. It was difficult for both after all and he felt if he stayed with his wife any longer, he would fail to go to the crime lord's house. Yet she let him go and she didn't give him a second look when he left their home without a single kiss. She cried.

Uryû felt horrible about leaving Orihime behind him and he glanced out their room's window and felt empty. He didn't see Orihime and he understood her, it would be hard to see the one you love leaving like that without knowing if he would survive or die.

He opened his car and he took the direction of the crime lord's house. He left behind him all his kind and understanding attitude for a submissive one because the crime lord wouldn't employ him otherwise.

Then he arrived, he rang the bell and he waited in front of the grill. Someone approached to greet him and he recognized with surprise one of the girls he saw in the video. She looked destroyed and he wished he could bring her with him if he could. The girl opened the door and she bowed with submission and he felt even more sadness for the girl.

- Welcome, Ishida-san, we were waiting for you. Please, let me introduce you to my master.

- Thanks you, miss.

The girl smiled slightly as she closed the door behind him. He felt as he were in sort of jail. The feeling that he would never see Orihime anymore would not leave him.

I love you and I will be back, I promise, he thought.

But she wasn't here...

Inside the house he saw several portraits of different people. This man obviously loved genealogy and Ishida was impressed despite the situation. Taking care to know your past was a very rare value nowadays.

- I can see your master is very protective towards his family.

The girl smiled merrily as if he told the best news in years.

- My master is wonderful.

Something in her attitude worried Ishida a lot and it seemed this girl was ready to do everything for her master. He knew her master was the crime lord and it would be difficult for him to ask some questions about her master.

- I can see that, he responded instead to ensure she knew about his respect for the man.

They arrived in front of a very huge door and the girl knocked. They heard a creepy voice asking them to enter the room as if they were at home.

- My, my... If this isn't my new butler. You seem very... cute.

Ishida had never seen a man like this before. This man was blue-haired yellow-eyed and his skin was slightly suntan. Ishida would have seen the beauty in this man if he weren't a criminal. Yet something in his attitude showed this man enjoyed his power over his people. Plus it was obvious he loved to see if he could influence others.

- Thank you for the compliments, Mayuri-sama.

The man laughed joyfully and he asked Ishida to sit in a chair. Then Mayuri gave him a small glass of juice. He obviously waited for this special moment and he was excited about it. He wanted him to drink it in front of him and Ishida hoped this juice wasn't drugged. Ishida drank the juice down and he didn't notice anything weird yet he knew he would have to be careful in the future.

- Do you enjoy the juice?

Ishida wore his submissive mask and Mayuri seemed obviously happy to see that.

- It is great, Mayuri-sama.

Then Mayuri stood and he asked Ishida to follow him as if he were a lost, yet found again friend. Mayuri put a cold hand over Ishida's shoulder and Ishida hoped this man wasn't gay. Ishida would prefer to put this man in a jail instead of being forced to become his lover.

- Come, my boy, I am sure we will be great friends in the future.

Ishida smiled a seemingly genuine smile and Mayuri shined when he saw it. He obviously thought he had gotten a new pet and Ishida was sure Mayuri would use him as a guinea-pig. Yet he would make sure this man would be in jail before using him. He would do it for Orihime.

- Here is your room, my boy...

And Mayuri left him alone in the surprisingly huge bedroom.

XOXOX

In the meanwhile, Kisuke was arguing against Yamamoto Genryûsai because he didn't like one of his recent decisions. Kisuke always respected the man yet he obviously didn't understand the meaning of this action.

- Are you sure, it isn't dangerous for this town's inhabitants. I am sure everyone will despise this decision.

Yamamoto opened slightly his eyes and Kisuke knew his arguments succeeded in waking the man. Kisuke didn't intend to make the man angry because he knew Yamamoto was rather fearsome when he shouted. And Kisuke didn't want to provoke this man but he wanted him to react positively about this current issue.

- Urahara Kisuke, I know you despise this decision for personal reasons. Yet I can ensure you I know perfectly well the consequences of this decision. Don't you think I have thought of it enough?

Kisuke was about to remind him this decision might make lots of people suffer and he wished Yamamoto was far more insightful than that. Kisuke knew Yamamoto was a very experienced man and he knew when he asked something, it had to be respected. Yet Kisuke still didn't understand why such a man made such a decision. After all, it might provoke very horrible things, namely innocent deaths.

- Please, Yamamoto-sama, could you explain me why you decided that?

Yamamoto sighed loudly because he knew Kisuke was difficult to convince when it was about this kind of business. Kisuke took very seriously people's safety and Yamamoto disliked when he was told he must not have thought of the possible consequences of his decisions.

- Urahara Kisuke, I know you take this business very serious yet you have to accept what I do. Otherwise, I might ask someone else to take care of that.

Kisuke didn't know why Yamamoto wanted him to care about that by himself and he didn't know what to say. Instead he was startled to see Yamamoto trust him enough to help him in this very special case. He succeeded in finding his calm composure once again.

- What do you want from me?

Kisuke regretted his previous outburst and he felt ashamed because he let his emotions and his feelings speak instead of his reason. He knew he had to listen yet when he heard the goals of this interview, he lost his calm demeanor completely.

- I want you to watch over this cautiously and I want you to choose someone in your team to take care of it. I know we can trust Kurosaki Ichigo to deal with it.

Kisuke obviously hated this request and he wished Yamamoto choose someone else to take care of it. Plus Ichigo was overworked with the new crime lord and he wished Yamamoto wouldn't choose him for that special case.

- Kurosaki Ichigo is currently investigating about a crime lord and he can't do two things in the same time. I know this is important and I am sure my man is good with that but I think you should choose someone else.

Yamamoto frowned deeply and he obviously didn't know about Kurosaki's new job. Urahara should have told him before this interview yet he chose to argue instead of listening. He sighed and muttered loudly. This business would take a lot of time.

- Urahara Kisuke, don't tell me once again you disobey my direct orders about investigating that man.

Kisuke disliked Yamamoto for listening to the more powerful people than his own advice. He knew Yamamoto was unbiased during trials yet when it dealt with other type of business, it was difficult to tell if he were truly unbiased as he had told him several times.

- Yamamoto-sama, please, tell me there have not been a lot of deaths lately.

Yamamoto couldn't respond directly after such a question and he had to think of a way to calm Urahara Kisuke. He knew he might lose his position if he listened once more Urahara Kisuke and he would be completely destroyed by these people if he didn't obey them.

- Urahara Kisuke, please, do what I have asked and tell Kurosaki Ichigo what he has to do. Plus, could you give him this letter? I will explain to him what he is supposed to in this business. I am sure he will understand the need.

Kisuke disagreed because he knew Ichigo's hatred against people who put more danger in the town. Ichigo inherited obviously that trait from his own father Isshin and Kisuke loved that aspect of him very much. He found his adoptive son and pupil very noble thanks to that.

- I will give him this letter, but of course yet don't expect him to agree and support you.

Yamamoto opened his eyes with obvious threat and Kisuke knew Yamamoto was very angry. Kisuke didn't wish for this to happen yet Yamamoto didn't truly let him have the choice. Kisuke disliked hypocrisy and preferred honesty.

- I wish for you to convince him, is that clear?

Kisuke was stunned to see such a man trying to force him to do something he didn't want to. For his adoptive son's sake he would try to give him a choice even though it would be hard to do so.

- Fine.

And Kisuke left the cold room.

XOXOX

- Are you serious?

Yoruichi couldn't believe Kisuke accepted Yamamoto's orders yet Kisuke tried to tell her he didn't have a choice. She was fearsome when she was angry and Kisuke wished she wouldn't be his foe for today. Her family had, after all, a secret army and this army was extremely efficient. He saw it once.

- I don't accept this either and I hope Yamamoto will change his mind before I tell Ichigo what he is supposed to do...

Yoruichi faced her husband with anger.

-I hope for your sake...

Kisuke sighed and he wished everything would be okay with Ichigo tomorrow... He didn't want to bother him this evening and wanted him to rest a little more.

- I will tell Ichigo about this new mission tomorrow and I will tell Yamamoto Ichigo prefers to think on it before taking any decision.

Yoruichi told him:

-I think this is a good solution.

Did you like it?

Please, tell me it thanks to a review. ;)
