Mistakes

Disclaimer: I don't own BLEACH.


Urahara Kisuke sat in his shop, his customary happy attitude missing as he looked down at the blueprints in front of him. 'Hougyoku' was printed at the top and they went into great detail on what it did, how it was used, and how it was made. Many times the former captain had looked them over before, looking for ways to destroy the device, but it seemed his genius had been too brilliant when creating it – it was as close to indestructible as anything could get.

The shop keeper leaned back with a sigh and looked at the group sleeping in the other room. Rukia was curled up in a ball, oblivious to both Ichigo and Renji on either side of her. The others were sprawled out around the room, though some a bit more gracefully than others, such as Uryuu.

What had he been thinking that night, when he put the Hougyoku in Rukia's soul? It had nearly killed her, plus he had caused some hostility to rise from the Kuchiki Clan, namely its head. Kisuke shuddered as he thought of the Sixth Captain's rage.

Now, his abominable creation was in someone else's hands – someone who would actually use it. Aizen was far too dangerous as it was, and that was why Kisuke didn't hesitate to ask Ichigo to help him again.

He sighed again and rolled up the blueprints, stashing them away so no one would find them. He was worried about the substitute shinigami – he was worried about them all, but that meant little to nothing seeing as Aizen didn't care about squat.

"Let's just hope this goes well…" He wouldn't repeat his past mistakes – he would do everything in his power to fix them.


AN: This is how I think Urahara really feels about what he did. Thank you all for reading and please review!
