I do not own Bleach and never will, it belongs to its creator Tite Kubo and all characters except Kyo and Ayume are owned Tite Kubo.
Hi there and welcome to the fourth chapter of the okamis honour thank you to hollow heart and those who have reviewed thanks to them I am now updating weekly even though I have Uni.
And please any suggestions on what could happen or ideas for Ayume or what Kyo could do are welcome please remember this is also a humour fic so I need ideas for some comedy in this.
Oh and this chapter will have some Ichigo and Rukia in it, though they won't become major appearances til chapter 5 or 6 as I have to get some stuff in this story done before I can get to that fun part but they will be appearing from now on oh and suggestions for other characters in this fic are welcome to, I like to please my reviewers requests if possible.
Chapter 4: Explanations over tea
Silence lasted a few minutes til Urahara attempted to change subject "how about we have some tea or sake before we get further into this discussion shall we" Ayume nodded and Renji just shrugged still shaken by the revelation. Tessai minutes later came in with some sake for Renji and Kisuke and some tea for Ayume as she refused to drink sake after what happened last time "so Ayume what have you been doing these past ten years since you last contacted me" Urahara asked.
Ayume sniggered "what's wrong Kisuke did you think I'd forget about you" she remarked, he looked at her hurt "I was beginning to think you'd forgotten about me" Ayume laughed receiving confused looks from Renji who obviously was feeling awkward in the discussion. She smiled at him reassuringly "don't worry about understanding Abarai Kun you'd never understand half of what that idiot says half the time anyway" she commented.
Kisuke seemed to sulk "oh and Kisuke how could I forget you I bet soul society has already forgotten me and Isshin but I doubt they'd forget you so easily am I right Abarai kun" she asked Renji and commented at the sulky faced Kisuke.
Renji nodded "yeah he's quite infamous" Ayume laughed at this "you should feel honoured Kisuke your famous while me and Isshin Are just figures in the historical records of the Gotei 13 now" she commented, Kisuke stopped sulking and looked at her curious "Ayume san have you become more outspoken in the last few decades you never used to joke around like that" Kisuke asked, Ayume nodded "maybe but you'll get used to it blame Kyo" she replied.
Kisuke smirked "so I heard from Kyo kun and Abarai san here that you teach computing now" he asked innocently, Ayume nodded "yes well at least its better than your choice of occupation seriously Kisuke your just attracting unwanted attention to yourself".
He faked a hurt expression "Ayume your words wound me I'm just a humble businessman now what's illegal about that" Renji seemed to scoff "you called me by my name" he said happily, while Ayume laughed at this "careful Abarai san he might change it back any time soon" before going back to the subject.
"Ha for a simple sweet shop you seem to stock a lot of shinigami items and not to mention have plenty of shinigami customers not to mention illegal mod souls you better be careful Yamamoto doesn't notice many of his shinigami coming here after all the shop just blazons your name" Ayume remarked.
He looked at her innocently as possible considering the hat he wore covered his eyes "so you seen Isshin or Yourichi recently" she asked taking another sip of her tea. He looked at her seriously "let's speak of this later when freeloader san finishes helping Kyo Kun with those boxes of supplies.
Renji stood up protest "what I'm not your servant Urahara and quit calling me freeloader san already" he demanded, Ayume sniggered "looks like the vice captain can stand up for himself".
Renji looked at her shocked by her remark "so that's where Kyo is I hope he isn't slacking off like he usually does" she asked Kisuke ignoring Renji's glare, Kisuke smirked under his hat "ah Kyo kun is a fine worker unlike someone now Ayume san what are you going to do for me" Kisuke dared to ask. She glared at him menacingly making Renji tense up at the amount of reistu she produced, Ayume soon noticed Renji's tenseness and reduced the amount of reistu "Kisuke it was Kyo who signed onto this not me and you remember what happened last time you tried to make me do something remember" she said almost snarling at the end of her words.
Kisuke looked at her and gulped "of course I'd never make you do anything for me as far as I'm concerned your always welcome here just like Yourichi and Isshin" he replied quickly.
It was a scary thing to piss off Ayume he could remember back when she was a vice-captain of eighth division long before Ise Nanao came, someone doing just that.
FlashbackAyume sat in the eighth division office working on her captain's paperwork, Captain Kyoraku had disappeared off somewhere again leaving a whole stack of paperwork that was due the next morning on his desk. It was already 11 pm so she could safely presume that he'd bee drinking by now and would have a hangover the next morning, Kisuke who was at this point of time only a new captain as the last 12th division captain had died in an experiment gone wrong. Kisuke had decided to pay a visit at his friend at his side was a young blue haired fukotaicho only new to the job.
"Ayume san I was just wondering if you weren't too busy we could go to that party" he never got to continue as Ayume glared at him "oh someone's grumpy" he said, he went over to her concerned "Ayume san are you okay did Shunsui leave you with all the paper work again" he said knowing the answer already.
Ayume grunted "yes he said he was going to take a walk around 12 am and never returned" she snapped, Kisuke patted her on the shoulder "Ayume san you should relax come on join me and you can tell Shunsui off that way" she looked at him sceptically. "Kisuke you do know that party your talking about at 1st divisions is for captains and invited guess only don't you" she retorted.
He nodded "but you'll be my guest I'm sure Yamamoto won't mind after all Ukitake and Shunsui will probably say they invited you as well".
Ayume frowned "please Kisuke I'm not interested" she said going back to the paper she had been working on, suddenly the silent blue haired boy stood up "you shouldn't speak to a captain like that your only a vice captain and that means you can't argue at other captains or call them without their titles" the boy lectured.
Ayume blinked bored but a twitch could be seen appearing, Kisuke backed away knowing his friends temper especially when she been stuck doing paperwork all day "say that again and the next place you'll be visiting will be the fourth division whatever your name is and for your info Kisuke is a good friend of mine so I'm allowed to call him by his first name" she threatened.
The young Fukutaicho didn't get the hint unfortunately and true to her promise he did end up at the fourth the next morning.
End of flashbackWith this thought Kisuke noticed Renji had gone and Ayume staring at him "you looked like you were in deep thought there Kisuke" she commented, he nodded "yes just remembering what you did to Mayuri when he first meet you" Kisuke replied. Ayume laughed "yes funny he never liked me much after that you know I hate to admit it but he looked kind of cute back then before all his experiments on himself" she said.
Kisuke smirked "really oh and Ayume san I took the liberty of bringing all your stuff to your room oh and Kyo kun is sharing freeloader san" he said, Ayume smiled "thanks Kisuke how nice of you" she said before going to the room he had cleared for her.
After finding the room she was to stay in she tossed her bag onto the bed provided and started to look for a power point to plug her laptop in considering Kyo was still busy helping to move supplies.
Ayume after finding the PowerPoint plugged her laptop in, but found it hard to concentrate with a whole heap of noise in the shop "seriously could they be any louder" she muttered giving up on
Concentrating on the computer and deciding to take a walk instead.
Ayume was near the park when she heard two loud voices yelling plagued with curiosity she decided to listen in "Rukia what was that for!"
Ayume recognised the two voices from her class that day and went a bit closer to confirm her suspicions, a short black haired girl in shinigami uniform was yelling at an orange haired boy with a huge zanpaktou on his shoulders.
"Ichigo you deserved that you insulted my drawings again" the girl called Rukia snapped at the boy who scoffed "well they do suck seriously what's with you and chappy the bunny that's the kind of thing Yuzu likes".
She almost felt sorry for Ichigo as he was kicked rather hard by the girl "stop insulting my drawings Renji says they're quite creative" Rukia said proudly, Ichigo who had just gotten back up rolled his eyes "that's because he doesn't want to hurt your feelings".
Rukia glared at him, mean while Ayume got a look at the said drawings she had no clue what they were about as they were all looking like cute bunny rabbits with the meanings written on them "they really do suck" she said letting her thoughts out loud.
She covered her mouth and suppressed all her reistu, she didn't know how strong this girl was but she didn't fancy the idea of annoying her "now you know what other feel like when you get annoyed Ayume" Okami remarked, Ayume frowned and argued back.
During this argument with her zanpaktous spirit, Rukia had gone back to Ichigo, Ayume sighed in relief and watched some more "you know this kid reminds me of someone" Ayume said in her mind, Okami agreed "that ain't no normal kid wonder who he is" she wondered to herself still watching the argument.
"Anyway Ichigo you've dealt with the hollow now and its getting dark lets go before your father attacks you for being late" Rukia said.
Ichigo nodded "yeah still can't believe my old man fell for your crappy grandmother story though" he commented, Rukia "well he did so get over it and besides it could be worse I don't think my Ni-sama would like me staying in your closet again" she remarked back, the boy cringed at this strangely enough.
Ayume's cellphone suddenly went off she quickly cursed and turned it off ,before leaving and hoping they didn't see her after all, as she walked back she let her thoughts wonder "so that's why Ichigo seemed to have such strong spiritual energy in my classes hmm I wonder…"
Once Ayume arrived back the Urahara shoten, she greeted Renji who was with Kyo sweeping the front of the shop, he didn't look happy at all to say the least, Kyo was grumbling too but failed to notice Ayumes greeting.
Once in her guest room she lay on the now made bed and began reading a manga she herself had brought in secret a few weeks back, as it turned out it was the latest Full metal alchemist one.
She noticed a black cat come in, she let a smirk cross her face at this "ah Ayume Kisuke said you were staying here for a while" the cat spoke, most people would freak out at this but not Ayume "hello to you too Yourichi I see you still prefer your cat form" Ayume said her eyes not leaving the manga.
Yourichi smiled "I'm surprised you knew it was me mind you your always been good at perception" the cat said jumping onto her bed.
Ayume put down the manga and looked at Yourichi "I sensed your reistu and besides you showed me that form a long time ago when you achieved it and may I see its quite the brilliant disguise" Ayume remarked. Yourichi spoke again "I'm flattered by your comment Ayume but you know the saying 'the best disguises are the opposite of what one expects and I see you still have that lazy tag along with you".
Ayume laughed "too true Yourichi and for your info I told Kyo we're equals but he insists on following me" she replied, Yourichi laughed "you should be honoured that he still follows your orders".
Ayume nodded and noticed Yourichi had pounced off the bed and headed to the door "excuse me for a moment will you I think I need to inform Kisuke of something" Ayume nodded understanding her friends words "don't scratch him up too bad" she yelled from the room as Yourichi left.
After a few yelps from a certain shopkeeper Yourichi reappeared "so what was that idiot up to now" she asked, Yourichi shook her head "you really don't want to know Ayume".
Ayume smirked "how that idiots supposed to be a genius I'll never know" she said, "yes that is quite an enigma to me as well oh and Ayume did you know Isshin had kids" Yourichi asked getting her attention.
Ayume was shocked but yet it made sense in a strange way "no I didn't how do you know and how in gods name did he manage that without Soul Society finding out" she asked, Yourichi shrugged "who knows it seems soul society's security has loosened quite considerably since yours and my time."
"Wow I thought it would improve mind you what do I know so what's with all the shinigami around here I know theres usually one but never captain level shinigami is there a war on or something?"
"You could say that you remember Aizen Ichimaru and Tosen don't you" Yourichi said making Ayume grit her teeth "how could I forget they're the bastards who attacked and wiped out my powers not to mention almost murdering me" she snarled.
Yourichi nodded "Ah yes that really must've hurt but you weren't the only one who was attacked that way "Yourichi said getting Ayume's attention once more "really who?"
"Isshin had the same thing happen to about ten years after you it seems he also caught onto Aizens plan" Yourichi explained "ah so that's how he had kids being a shinigami and all, so let me guess one of thems called Ichigo" she said expecting an answer.
Yourichi nodded "yeah that's him alright I believe you teach him computing at Karakura high" she nodded "yes I was wondering why I sensed his reistu to be so high after all not many humans have reistu or any at all so what's happened in the last three decades" she commented.
Yourichi explained it to her "okay so let me get this straight I was replaced by that traitor Gin Ichimaru and Isshin was replaced by that white haired shinigami that looks like a elementary student" Yourichi nodded, Ayume was stunned "woah I sensed he was powerful but captain level like woah" she said not believing what she'd just heard.
Yourichi after letting Ayume recover spoke again "well yes expect the unexpected oh and Byakuya's sister Rukia Kuchiki was sentenced to death by the Sokyoku" Ayume looked at her "poor girl I'm guessing she got saved somehow considering I saw her with the other shinigami" Ayume said.
"Yes Ichigo went off with some others and I went with them, Ichigo managed to save her at the very last minute and also Aizens plan was revealed so he Ichimaru and Tosen have fled to Hueco Mundo now" Yourichi told Ayume who took the info in.
"Uh not that I'd want you dead or anything but how did you survive let alone get back here after all you kinda did desert soul society in favour of Kisuke as I really can't see Yamamoto being too pleased to see you" Ayume asked.
Yourichi laughed a bit "I talked to Yamamoto and explained what happened so he decided they were better off with me as help in the war so I got pardoned now I'm just helping them, I'm allowed in soul society though" she told Ayume.
Ayume gaped not believing her friend's luck "you got really lucky Yourichi and woah so you're not an exile anymore" she asked Yourichi nodded "well technically you and Isshin aren't exiles either but you know I realised one hundred years of slacking off really slowed me down".
"So what happened to your apartment I thought you hated staying with Kisuke" Yourichi asked, Ayume sighed "a blasted hollow wrecked the street" she answered, suddenly a male voice spoke "that's sucks".
Ayume and Yourichi turned swiftly to see a man with black spikey hair and some hair on his chin grinning at them in shinigami form his haori still on his shoulder, both had been taken by surprise to say the least.
"Did I surprise the goddess of flash and the elusive wolf I always thought you two were alert to be taken by surprise" he remarked only to receive claw marks and a kick to the ground.
He got up sulking "Isshin you deserved that and what are you doing here" Ayume asked demanding an answer, "well that's a nice greeting Ayume I don't see you for thirty years and that's what I get" he moaned.
Ayume scoffed "get over it Isshin so what do you do these days" Ayume asked, "well I have three kids and run a medical clinic" he boasted proudly.
Yourichi sniggered as did Ayume "a battle expert turned doctor woah wonder what Zaraki would say" Ayume joked.
"Probably laugh and say he's a pansy or something like that" Yourichi replied.
Ayume nodded, Isshin getting frustrated by the teasing turned to Ayume "so what happened to your vow against computers Ayume" he teased, Ayume glared at him "I can't believe how many people actually remembered that" she muttered.
Isshin smirked "yeah now if I remember right you told captain Kurotsuchi that computers are for freakish scientists with no life" he remarked, enjoying the look on Ayume's face.
Yourichi was fascinated by this "she did" Isshin nodded, Ayume sat there looking defiant "shut up already I was drunk Shunsui had made me drink sake and besides I changed my mind" she snapped at him as he held his hand out "come on Ayume pay up" he said.
She let out some menacing reistu making him move away a bit "forget it Isshin I ain't paying you besides I use a laptop not a giant science computer like that freak does I bet you have one yourself" she said in her defence.
"Well yes you do have a point there but still" Isshin said, before Ayume could retort Kyo came in looking annoyed with a t-shirt saying Urahara shoten on it, Kyo stopped when he saw the three former captains staring at him. He backed away "ah I think I'll talk to you later Ayume oh and Renji's kinda easedropping on you guys thought you should know" he said shrinking back.
All three quickly went to the door way and noticed a cellphone on the ground "pff wimp he easedrops but ain't brave enough to stick around oh well he's bound to need this later" Ayume remarked picking up the phone.
And I'll end it here sorry for the cliffy but there was so much I can't fit it all into one chapter.
Next chapter I finish this bit and another Arrancar attack and a major appearance by Ichigo.
Oh and I kinda guessed what happened To Isshin Kurosaki as in the anime he knows about Aizen and he said something about twenty years ago so yeah .
