Kisuke POV
"Is he still staring at the shop?" I asked as Jinta and Ururu walked in. Ururu nodded and I gave out a loud sigh.
"I seriously doubt that ignoring him will do the trick" Said Jinta as he walked beside of me. I gave a small peek outside to see that red headed boy. I knew who he was and guessed why he was here. Only a miracle could drag him away from here… Thinking that; a strong spiritual pressure pierced the atmosphere. Huh. I never thought that I would thank an arrancar in my whole life. Abarai got on his feet and popped a soul candy in his mouth and went to battle.
"Do you feel that Kisuke?" Asked Yoruichi behind me. I looked at her from over my shoulder. Her left arm and leg weren't ready for battle, so I turned around with a smile.
"Don't worry, the soul society sent a captain along with two vice-captain, they can handle this" I said to reassure her. She sighed; I couldn't fool her that easily.
"Come on, let's have tea" I said as I pushed her infront of me.
After a while, I went to the kids' room to see if they were sleeping. I opened the door to their room and saw the window open and both beds empty. Shoot! I should've watched them! Ururu was made to destroy the enemy, but against these guys, she had no chance! I ran to the entrance and opened to door. I was surprised to see Jinta holding his elder covered with blood. I didn't waste a second and called out Tessai. I brought the little girl to a free room and settled her down a towel. I took her hand as Tessai proceeded with the healing.
"Ki-Kisuke-san" stutter the little girl as she tried to apologize.
"Everything will be okay, Ururu" I dropped as I kept my cool. She slowly nodded and closed her eyes. I needed to get ready for battle; I was slacking on training… If these guys were giving the shinigamis a beating, even I won't hold that long.
Once Ururu healed, I went outside to that vice-captain who was back at his post. He looked surprise as I invited him in. He probably wants me to train him so I'll fight him for a while to give him the impression I was training him and not myself.
The next morning I looked for Yoruichi; I wanted to warm up a little with her, but she wasn't in the house. I sighed and sat down to eat breakfast.
"Hoy Kisuke!" Great the person I was looking for. Yoruichi came in the dining room and winked at me. "I brought you someone; he claims that you are the only person who can help him"
I rolled my eyes guessing he was with the others.
"What does he want?" I asked as I rest my chin in my palm. She had a smirk.
"I don't know, he wouldn't tell me"
I got up obviously annoyed.
"Where is the time where no one needed me?" I whined as I rubbed the back of my head. Yoruichi caught my arm and pulled me. She was awfully excited. I followed her to the front part of the house in the shop where I found a boy with light blond hair kneeling before me, head almost touching the wooden floor.
"Mister Urahara, please, I'm begging you, please help me save my mother!"
Sara POV
""Welcome home, Tsukiyumi-san" Said Aizen with a smirk. He was sitting on his throne wearing a white Hakama and a red belt. I struggled against the bonds, but it was totally useless. Aizen exchanged a look with Gin and brought me at Aizen's feet. He pushed me on my knees, completely vulnerable. My worst enemy lifted my face by pushing my chin up with his finger.
"Oh my, you sure are lovely Tsukiyumi-san" I was giving him a death glare. If I could kill him, I would.
"Let me go" I warned him. He laughed at my courage.
"Or else what? You don't have your dear Taicho to protect you anymore, isn't that right Tsukiyumi-Taicho?" He mocked as he let me go. I looked down and stood silent, it wasn't worth the effort to speak back to him, it only would excite him even more. "Docile now? After all the trouble I went through to have you here, you aren't going to put on a fight?"
I had a grin as I looked up.
"I know what you want, and you won't have it nor me, never" I challenged him. His smile grew and he looked at me kindly as he pet my hair. He kept staring at each other without blinking and he finally pulled my hair; reversing my head back.
"You really do believe I cannot have you Tsukiyumi?" He took the bait. His face came closer to mine and I couldn't help myself to shut my eyes close with disgusts as he licked my neck up my jaw. He finished his line at the tip of my lips. "I am king of this world and no matter where you run, I'll be right behind you"
I looked away. I knew perfectly well that both of my feet were trouble the moment I got here. There was no escape until Aizen is gotten care of. I wasn't the one who would be able to stop this man. I need to put my trust in the gotei 13. But while I was there, I could get in his way to slow him down.
"So what's your goal?" I finally asked making him smile. He got up on his feet and pulled me up with him.
"I'm glad you asked" He whispered in my ear. He gently pushed me infront of him and ordered me to start walking. I never had any intention to obey him, but now I needed to play his game to make him fall in mine. He brought me to a little room with a sort of mummy in the middle.
"Leave us" He ordered to the scientist. They silently obeyed and walked beside of us head low. They were afraid of this man. I twisted my tongue seven times before screaming him insults. I needed to know his true plans.
"You are aware that after I tell you my plans, your chances to escape drops to zero" he warned me as he sat me down.
"Because I still have a percentage of chance to escape? I thought you were always behind me in this dimension" I threw with a smirk. He chuckled and he roughly pat my head.
"You need to give faith in a prisoner, it is the best way to torture him, don't you agree?" I sighed and looked away. He let his hand drop and started his speech:
"I'm after the royal dimension" he dropped like a bomb. My eyes slightly widen before I laughed at my turn.
"The royal dimension? Are you out of your mind? It's impossible without the-"
"Oken" He sliced before I did. I stopped laughing abruptly and looked at him. "The location of the Oken is impossible to know, but how to create one was carelessly written"
He laughed as he read my face. I trembled with fear. I had the feeling something bad will happen. He turned around and walked towards the mummy.
"I let you in on the ingredients" He said as he stopped to look at me. "Are you ready to hear them?"
No, I didn't want to, but my curiosity took over and I nodded. He snapped his fingers, freeing me from the bonds, well that was careless.
"I need 100 000 souls in a radius of one reiri" I shivered on his words. All my intentions to run away flew away. I was getting back up, but I let myself fall back down. "And for it to work-"
He paused. What a dramatic to put on a suspense. He came back towards me and kneeled to look at me in the eye. He took a wick from my hair and smelled it as he closed his eyes. He was so near me, I could have hit him and run away, but I was paralyzed, curious. Yearning to know the last ingredient.
"And for it to work" He said again as he opened his eyes. "I need to bathe the key in royal blood" My eyes widen as he touched my chest where my heart was.
"That's why I need you, Sara-Hime"
What he said made me laugh. To be called princess was so absurd that I couldn't help myself. Aizen smiled too, but he was serious. I slowly stopped laughing as his face got closer to mine. I looked away and got up.
"Me? I'm no one! I can't possibly be from the royal family!" I protested. He smiled and got up. I walked back until my back hit a wall. Aizen got close to me and put his hands each side of my head.
"But you do wield Xion, and you are the first to survive it" He said. I shook my head and sighed.
"Meaning?" I asked as I rolled my eyes.
"If I recall, there is a story that you need to have royal blood to have his power" he said as he dropped his arms.
"You are supporting your theory on a fairytale!? Are you nuts?" I asked as I slide away from him. I looked away and crossed my arms. He had a chuckle and pressed his chest on my back. I tried to move away but he grabbed my shoulders to keep me there.
"Did you ever asked yourself why you were the center of attention? Why you were everyone's target? Why did everyone liked you so much?"
I couldn't reply to his questions, because he marked a point. I was asking myself all those questions.
"Because you are special" he dropped. "Not only beautiful, but there is something about you that no one can put their finger on, people want to be with you, obey every order you give them, you are born to rule, my queen" I slowly turned towards him and looked at him in the eye. He had a huge grin. He knew how to put me at his boot. He put his finger under my chin and at that moment, I knew that I couldn't escape this man. I will never be stronger than him…
"Your old captain probably knew who you were but could he never prove it, that is why he was keeping you near him, you were nothing else than a toy…Sara" He whispered. My eyes widden, it was true that Urahara always wanted to keep me near him, but was really for that reason? Was I really only a experiment?
"If you stay here, I can give you answers" he said with a gentle voice. I scoffed, but I never thought that Aizen would be the one to help me on who I was.
"I don't have much of a choice, now do I?" I said as I opened my eyes. He smiled and let me go. He walked towards the mummy and stopped to look at me.
"Actually, yes you have one" He said with a smirk. I stayed on my guard and stared. "You have the choice to be locked up and live hell, or, you stay obedient and have access to nearly anything"
"By obedient, you mean marry you and answer yes" I snapped as I let my arms drop.
"I want you to eventually return my feelings" he added as he came back to me. What he said made me almost sick. He took me by the waist and came dangerously close to my face.
"And if you do, I would avoid taking the awful responsibility to black-mail you with your son as hostage"
My look harden as I bit my tongue to not insult him. He was a monster, and I actually believed he could be nice. For the second I was fooled; he ruined it. I rather be tortured than being with this guy, but… My thoughts went to my son.
"If I accept, you will spare my son's life?" I asked as I put my hands on his torso. He smiled.
"I'll do my best, but he need to get out of Karankura, or I'll probably accidently kill him"
I questioned him with my eyes and he nodded.
"My guess is that he is now begging Urahara Kisuke to save you" he dropped like a bomb.
My eyes widen as my heartbeat ran faster. And I had a mental smirk. If he was with Kisuke; I had no need to accept his offer. I had the feeling that Urahara will protect our son. His lips brushed mine and I brought my eyes to his.
"So do we have a deal?" He asked with a smooth voice. But before he could kiss the deal I slapped him across the face. He had an evil giggle as he brought back his eyes to me. He pushed me to the floor and raised his hands before closing his fingers. The collar around my neck tightened so hard that I almost lost consciousness on the spot. He loosened the grip and I coughed loudly. He took my hair and lifted me up to his height.
"You are maybe tough now Tsukiyumi-san, but you'll see pretty soon that I am the boss around here" he threatened me before letting me fall to my knees. He snapped his fingers again and I was bound once more; hands and ankles. An arrancar with green lines under his eyes came in.
"Ulquiorra, bring her to the draining room and make sure she stays alive" Aizen ordered. His subordinate nodded took me under his arm. But I didn't regret my answer, any torture is better than being married to Aizen.
Kisuke POV
"Mister Urahara, please, I'm begging you, please help me save my mother!" he said. My eyes widen, very surprised. The last thing I expected was for a Shinigami begging for my help. Before I could decline; Yoruichi pushed me forward with a smile and nodded. I rolled my eyes and came closer to the boy.
"Please mister Urahara, my mom was capture by Aizen, we need to help her!" he insisted. I sighed.
"And why should I help your mother?" I asked very detached. The boy bowed lower.
"Because she was your subordinate in the past, and you were both very close then" He said in my greatest surprise.
"Listen kid, none of my subordinates were mothers, well none who were close to me anyway, I think you got me mistaken for someone else" I dropped as I sat down on the wooden floor.
"But sir, my mom tells me-" he started.
"I don't know who your mom is, but I never had business with her" I cut him.
"But you are Urahara Kisuke, former captain of the twelfth division?" he asked. I rubbed the back of my head as I answered yes.
"Well then, please mister Urahara you are my only hope!" He said as he sat back up. My heart came up my mouth as I saw the boy's face. His jaw fell and eyes widen and he opened his eyes. He got up and stood infront the replica of myself. It was like I was standing infront of a mirror. Same hair color, same height, almost the same face, only the eyes were lighter.
"What was your mother's name again?"
The boy was too stunted to answer and Yoruichi laughed. I turned towards her.
"You knew?" I asked her a bit upset.
"How can I possibly not know? I mean look at him!" She exclaimed. "Sara gave birth to you practically!" She said as she went beside of Sara's son.
"Didn't it occur to tell me!?" I reproach her.
"Sara asked me not to! I respected that!" She exclaimed as she kept her smile. I rubbed my eyes and when I looked if I was dreaming or not, the boy was opening the door to leave.
"Yoruko! Wait!" Yoruichi called him back. He didn't look back and ran away. Yoruichi shook her head and looked at me. I was devastated.
"Well! What are you waiting for!? Go after him!" She screamed. I shook my head and walked back into the house. I couldn't believe what I just saw. What a jerk! I punched in the wall. Not only I slept with Sara, but I put her pregnant! I went to my room and locked the door behind me. I let myself fall on my bed. Discovering that Sara and I actually had a child together was the most screwed up dream that came true. After a hundred of years, I meet my son for the first time, that wasn't the dream I wanted to come true. And now Aizen has her. Then it got to me. Crap! I jumped on my feet as I felt an arrancar spiritual pressure. I opened the window and jumped of the neighbor's roof. I saw the enemy far away in the sky looking down on something. I use shunpo to get there.
I stepped right infront of my son before the arrancar can strike him and got hit instead.
"Well, well, how admirable, a father protects his son" said the arrancar as blood stained my hair. I had a smirk.
"I wouldn't have to if the mother wasn't in a bad situation right now, but I won't let Aizen have her just yet" I replied without losing my smile. I didn't take Benihime with me, so I threw a punch. I was surprised when he blocked it. I was in a bad position here without a sword. He lifted his hand to hit, but I wasn't sure if I would be able to block it.
"Dance Shiroihime!"
The air got cold as a white flash froze the arrancar before me. I looked at my right to see Yoruko sword in hand. He sighed and looked at me. He put his sword in his sheath before crossing his arms.
"You know I was fine before you showed up" he said as he looked away.
I rubbed my head and came closer to him.
"Yoruko…?" I called out his name a bit shy. He nodded and he dared to look at me again. I had a smile; he was so much like his mother. "I know this will be awkward for both of us, but are you willing to come live with me while you are on earth?"
He looked at me and I knew he was hesitating. So I pushed a bit more.
"If Aizen has your mother, he will try to capture you to black-mail her, but if you are with me, that can't happen"
He uncrossed his arms and came closer to me. He studied my face a few seconds before his next question.
"What will happen to her if I am captured?" My looked harden and it was my turn to cross my arms.
"Aizen had a lot of imagination; Sara hates him, if you want the story…" I put back my smile on. "Let's discuss it with a cup of tea!"
He sighed but nodded. We came back home and I chassed the others to the basement to have the day with my son. I was surprised how he looked like me as he put on a gigai and some normal clothes. But his skin seemed fragile, like Sara's.
"Why did you leave her behind?" He finally asked. I knew that the question was burning since the second he saw me. I sighed, I couldn't not answer him.
"Because I was a coward, I was afraid that your mother would reject me" I said honestly. No matter in what way I turned it, I didn't want her to be happy; I was too afraid to get hurt. He had a chuckle as he leaned against the wall.
"Urahara Kisuke, you were always my hero, I was walking in your footsteps and finding out you are actually my father and that you were able to feel fear-!" He scoffed as I smiled. "This is just weird, I always dreamt to have you as a father and having you there infront of me, I can't believe what I see"
"I am a man like another" I said as I looked away with a smile. But Yoruko lost his.
"Why my mom? Why was she taken?" He asked as we returned to the principal subject. I sighed and rubbed my head.
"Aizen was madly in love with her, I almost wanted to order him to stay away from her"
His eyes widen; I guess he never expected that from him.
"I've realized when he betrayed the soul society that he was nuts, but… that bad?"
I sighed seeing that he was getting really interested in his mother's past. She might kill me for telling him.
"At first, he sent a girl in my division to separate us, but she fell in love with me and tried to kill Sara, your mom lost her memory because of that…"
I paused as I looked down. So many memories were overflowing me right now.
"And with her power going nuts, I had no clue what to do"
He seemed completely clueless on the subject. He was very surprised.
Tessai opened the door and put down the tea. I glanced at Yoruko before leaving the room. I invited my son to sit down.
"What about her power?" He spitted once Tessai closed the door behind him.
"Those who controlled Xion before her died because the wielders couldn't conceive his power?" I turned my sentence in a question but he shook his head. He knew nothing about it.
"So, you don't know much about her, do you?" I pointed out the obvious. His look harden, oops, I should have said that with different words.
"Sorry, it must be my fault, obviously she closed herself to others" I said as I took a sip of my tea. He nodded as he let go of his hard look.
"My mom is very secretive, indeed" He agreed. "But it's funny how she spoke of you as two people"
I questioned him with my eyes and he put his elbows on the table.
"When she spoke of my father, I could feel that she was hurting, that's why I never insisted on who he was, but when she was talking about her former captain-" He paused and had a smile. "There is something that light up in her eyes" He looked down and scoffed.
''I am so stupid not to have understood it before, all the signs were there'' I saw his fists clasp with anger. "I will kill Aizen with my bare hands if he dares touch her"
I smiled and got up. His eyes followed the movement.
"Well, then, let's see how your mom did on your training" I invited him. He looked down for a second and got up full of enthusiasm.
"But I must warn you; I will go hard on you if you plan on following me to fight Aizen" I said with a grin. Yoruko smiled and pop out of his gigai. This will be easy; because I've realized that his Zanpakuto was Benihime's sister.
"You are on Urahara Kisuke" He said with a smile that I usually saw on my lieutenant face. I smiled. He really was our son.
