Don't Own Bleach.
Urahara cast glances towards Utsumi, forever watchful, trying to get a read on his guest. Although he may have persuaded Yoruichi to help, that does not mean that he won't keep and eye on the stranger. His story piqued Urahara's interest, If he is willing to help, who am I to say no? Urahara looked thoughtful, if only more, powerful Shinigami would join us he scoffed internally at how ridiculous that sounds. They were the ones who believe Aizen. Urahara needs to get Yoruichi alone to come up with a plan if they do intend to take on this stranger and all the potential danger that comes with it. He ran away from the Soul Society and the Gotei 13. That doesn't get swept under the rug. He's jolted back to the real world by Yoruichi poking the side of his face. He playfully swats her hand away, "We need to discuss what we are going to do about our friend here." he said pointing his thumb in Utsumi's direction.
Yoruichi nodded, before responding, "Well, let's get blue eyes over here to show us what he can do." she then turned to the younger man before continuing, "then you can show me you can do in private." He golden eyes dance mirthfully as she runs her hand up his thigh.
Utsumi had no idea what was going on, she was trying to kill him and now she's teasing. "Hiyo!" He yelled jumping up from the seat and away from Yoruichi, "We need to come up with a plan." he said looking straight at Urahara.
Yoruichi, undeterred, stood up and continued with the teasing, "I have a plan and it ivolves a you, me and a hot spring." she whispered into his ear.
Urahara was grinning wildly behind his fan, "Now now Yoruichi, let the boy cool off or might not make it to the hot spring." He teased
Utsumi just glared at the man before responding, "You're not helping, Urahara! Can we just get on with this, if you were serious about helping."
Urahara's and Yoruichi's grins lessened and they nodded in unison before leading Utsumi to a back room with a hatch. The back room was empty apart from the shelves with a burlap sack filled with something that Utsumi would have been hesitant to guess at.
They entered the underground training grounds. The clear blue sky was like an exceptional summer sky with very few clouds drifting around, it all looked so real. "What is this place?" Utsumi asked.
Yoruichi and Urahara just smiled, reliving their good memories of the times they had in the place. She spoke first, "Well, we built a place exactly like this in the Soul Society where we would play, but circumstances change so we modeled this place after that." she explained, Utsumi thought back to his time in the Soul Society, although much more brief than his two companions, he didn't really have any friends like that, sure he got along with his squad mates but to call any one of them a friend would be stretching the word friend too far.
Utsumi just looked around the large area taking it all in, they built this? that they haven't been gone that long and they managed to build this was a feat in itself. He knew how highly his Captain regarded Kisuke Urahara and Yoruichi Shihoin but these grounds proves that the stories were underselling them. "You haven't been gone from the Soul Society that long, how did you do all this?" he asked still a look of awe on his face.
The two former Captain's just laughed it off as if were nothing, "We did have help from a friend." Urahara said cryptically.
Utsumi just let it go, "So what's the pl..."a thin blade coming towards his head interrupted him as he ducked and shunpoed away.
He managed to avoid the attack and get into a defensive stance with his Zanpakuto drawn. "What the hell?!" he yelled. "Are you trying to kill me now? I thought you were going to help me!" He yelled at Urahara as Yoruichi disappeared.
Urahara stood there with his Zanpakuto pointed at Utsum and smiled before responding, "How am I supposed to help you with your suicide mission if you can't help yourself?" he said just as Yoruichi approached Utsumi from behind.
She grabbed him by the arm and threw him into a rock formation with such force he it cracked. Dust and smoke erupted from where Utsumi landed. She shunpoed up to him grabbed him and sent him flying on back to Urahara. She appeared out of nowhere to be standing next to Urahara, "If you intend on taking on Aizen, you'll have to take on other Captains maybe even your former on. Can you tell me now that you are capable of doing so?"she asked.
Utsumi still pushing himself up, blood oozing out of a wound on his head from hitting the rock. He wiped it away with his forearm before responding, "It would be wrong not to try." he whispered. "What happened to the others who were forced to suffer at Aizen's hands was an atrocity. The fact that he got away and it was you, all of you, who got punished was another crime in itself!" He said standing up in an offensive stance
Urahara couldn't help but wonder, why does it bother him so much, what happened with Aizen doesn't affect him, "What does it matter to you anyway? You could still go back. You haven't been gone long, go back and live the life of a Shinigami. Why do you care about this?" he asked
Utsumi just looked up to the sky relaxing slightly, "It shouldn't affect me. I know it doesn't in the short term, what is a few Shinigami in the grand scheme of things? Not a lot really, they could be replaced easily, there are some up powerful seated officers looking for a chance. In the long run, if people can get away with this then what? criminal would grow bolder and commit worse crimes, it would never end." he said. "I can't say I enjoy the idea of fighting anyone but I will and if my cause is justified then I will win.
Urahara just stared at him before Yoruichi speaks, "You say you'll win, but what exactly are you fighting for? Urahara and I may have not been happy with the decision, but we've built something here." she said not breaking eye contact with Utsumi.
Utsumi just glared at her. "I don't understand you were innocent, I may not have been there but it's obvious that Aizen was behind it, even my Captain knew." He stated, he had no idea if Kyoraku knew but if he could persuade the two exiles then he may have help. "I can't sit back whilst Central 46 allow injsutice to flow through the Soul Society like a plague. With or without your help I'm going to fight for justice whether or not you want it."
Yoruichi face lost all trace of emotion as she stared coldly at him, "It's not about justice or right and wrong. It's about what you can prove. Right now, you can't prove anything." She said. "All you are going to do is get yourself and possibly others killed." She crossed her arms waiting for what happens next.
Urahara nodded but spoke, "I will train you to the best of my ability after that you're on your own. Let's begin." He pointed his Zanpakuto to the sky and said "Nake, Benihime!"
Utsumi just stared at the man with his now released Zanpakuto. He smirked and drew his own and said "Fusei o arainagasu ti seigi o mamoru, Seigi no Torento!" His regular katana turned a deep blue from the tip of the now curved blade to the bottom of the hilt with a purple ribbon. The blade and blueish green glow.
Urahara stared at Utsumi's released Zanpakuto while his mind was working through theories of it's abilities and possible setbacks. "Are you ready Utsumi Kaito?" He asked with a smirk on his face.
Utsumi, didn't like the idea of going against a former Captain, but knew he would have to if he was to carry out his intentions. "Ready." With that, they charged each other roaring as they go, coming together in a clash of swords.
