Kuro to Shiro no Kazoku
Chapter 5: Surprise for Okaasan!
21st April = Unohana-Taichou/ Okaasan's Birthday.
Toshiro's face turned into… Well, like when you watched a horror movie and the ghost came out so suddenly. Toshiro shouted in horror when he read his diary. Today is 20th April, 2.30p.m, tomorrow is his mother's birthday, and he haven't prepared a thing! Rangiku burst into his office as she heard the shout. "Taichou! Are you alright!?" She asked.
Toshiro got up and ran outside. "No, I'm not! I'm going to the 13th Division for a while! Make sure everything is fine in our division!"
Rangiku blinked her eyes a few times. "Err… Okay.."
Toshiro bursted into Ukitake's Ugendo. "Otousan!"
Ukitake, who was drinking his tea, chocked. "Cough! Cough! To.. Toshiro!? What's the matter!?"
""What's the matter"!? Tomorrow is Okaasan's birthday! Tomorrow!" Toshiro raged at Ukitake.
"And…?"
"….. AND WE HAVEN'T PREPARED ANYTHING YET!" Toshiro shouted.
"Ah, that." Ukitake chuckles. Suddenly, he froze as realisation hit him. He stood and shouted, "We haven't prepared anything yet!?"
Toshiro sweat dropped. 'He've just realised about it?' He thought.
Ukitake grabbed Toshiro and ran outside, in full speed. "Otousan! Where are we going!?"
"To Ayasegawa-San! We need to buy a cake!"
Toshiro sweat dropped again. "Ayasegawa Goseki (Fifth Seat)? He's selling cakes? How come I've never knew about that?"
"No, he's not! I just need to talk to him!" Ukitake said as they arrived in front of Yumichika's room in the 11th Division. He burst into Yumichika's room like Toshiro did to him. "Ayasegawa-San!"
Yumichika, who was signing his lieutenant's paperworks, jumped in shock. "Ukitake-Taichou! Hitsugaya-Taichou! What's the matter!?"
"We need to buy cakes for Unohana-Taichou's birthday tomorrow! Can you please bring us to the Human World to buy a cake!?"
"Uh, sure... But does Soutaichou allowed us to go there?" Yumichika asked.
...Silence...
"Y.. Yeah, I forgot. Come! Let's all go to Soutaichou together!" Ukitake said, grabbing Toshiro and Yumichika to the 1st Division. Toshiro sighed. "Again?"
After the trio got Yamamoto's permission to go to the Human World and arrived there, Ukitake, Toshiro and Yumichika went inside their Gigai's. "Okay, follow me." Yumichika led the two captains. They arrived at the bakery (I can't remember its name, but it's in Episode 134.) where Yumichika always buy delicious cakes. "Come, Hitsugaya-Taichou, Ukitake-Taichou. Let's choose a cake for Unohana-Taichou."
Toshiro and Ukitake nodded and went inside the bakery with Yumichika.
"Achoo!" Unohana sneezed while lying in her futon. "Arghh... Why do I have a fever so suddenly?" She was right. Ever since she woke up, suddenly she catched a cold. She's lucky that she doesn't have many patients. The door slid open, revealing a smiling Isane who brought a basin of water with a cloth in it and a first aid kit on her head.
"Konbanwa, Taichou. I'm here to clean you up." She sat beside Unohana and helped her to a sitting position. She started to untie her obi and removed her clothes. (Crap! It sounds like a Lemon story with Yuri in it! LOLOLOLOL. Just kidding. Isane is now with Yumichika. No Yuri nor Yaoi in this story. Got that? :v ) She soaked the water into the clothes and squeezed it. Then, she wiped Unohana's body, cleaning it. As she was done cleaning her, she put her captain's robes back on and pushed her onto the bed gently. Unohana smiled at her lieutenant, totally appreciated at what she has done to her. "Arigatou, Isane. Ayasegawa-San must be very lucky if he marries you."
Isane blushed. "We aren't going to get married yet, Taichou. It's still early."
Unohana chuckles. Even she thinks that Yumichika could take care of Isane better that Chojiro does. Poor Isane, Sasakibe left her because he said that he needs to focus his works. But actually, Unohana knows the truth. Sasakibe actually left her because he has a new girlfriend. Damn Sasakibe, there's no way Unohana would forgive him!
"Vanilla, Chocolate or Cheese?" Ukitake asked.
"What about Strawberry Marshmallow?" Yumichika asked.
"I think Lemon."
"No, it's Apple!"
"Blueberry!"
"Orange!"
"Grape! Pear! Honeydew!"
"Watermelon! Peach! Pomegranate!"
"Stop arguing, BOTH OF YOU!" Toshiro shouted. "What about Durian!?"
Ukitake and Yumichika's face paled. "D.. Durian...?"
Toshiro nodded. "Yes! Durian! A Malaysia fruit. Very popular among Malaysians as 'The King of Fruit'! Do you think she'll like it?"
"Actually, Hitsugaya-Taicho." Yumichika started. "We should ask Ukitake-Taicho about what flavor does she likes."
Ukitake paled. "Wait.. Me?"
"Oh, yeah. You should know it, right?" Toshiro said.
"B... But-But... Why me?" Ukitake stammered.
"Because." Yumichika glared at Ukitake. "You're her wife."
Ukitake sweat dropped. "But! I don't know about it! About what flavor that she likes..!"
SILENCE...
"What!? Are you kidding!?" Yumichika shouted, followed by Toshiro. "Don't you know about it at all!?"
"Ummm... I just know that she likes green tea..."
"Tea and cakes are different, Otousan!"
"Hmm.. But I think I know what she likes..." Ukitake said.
"Really!? Then tell us!" Yumichika and Toshiro shouted in the same time.
"She likes..."
Later that night. "Hmm... I'm bored..." Unohana said while lying on the futon with a damp cloth on her forehead. "I wonder why Ise-San wanted to see Isane?"
Flashback
Isane was feeding Unohana some porridge. She doesn't want to eat it, but since she have to eat some medicines, she have to. "Okay, Isane. I'm full."
"Hai, Taichou." Isane puts the bowl of porridge on Unohana's desk.
Then, the door slid open with a muffled bang, which made Unohana and Isane shocked. "YO, Senpai! Kotetsu-San!" Shunsui, as usual, in his Shihakusho with his pink flowery haori over it, and a straw hat on his head, came inside the room with Momo and Nanao.
Nanao hit his head with her fan. "Don't go inside people's rooms like that, Taichou! It could scare people to death!"
Shunsui faked a few anime tears. "Senpai, Nanao-Chan's a meanie!"
Unohana stayed in her calm position. "It's your fault, Kyouraku."
"Unohana-Senpai, too!?" Shunsui turned to Nanao. "Do you infect them with your evil virus? It's just like Lisa-Chan's virus!"
"There are no such thing as 'Evil Virus', Kyouraku-Taichou." Nanao and Momo sat beside Isane and Unohana. "How are you doing, Unohana-Taichou?" Momo asked.
Unohana smiled. "I got a bit better after Isane feeds me some porridge."
Momo smiled back at her. "I'm glad. Oh, yeah!" She gave Unohana the bouquet of flowers she had just bought. "Kyouraku-Taichou, Ise-San and I bought it for you."
Unohana took it with a smile. "Arigatou, Hinamori-San." Then, she gave the flowers to Isane. "Isane, can you put it on the table?"
"Hai, Taichou." She took it and placed it on the table. After a few hours of chit-chatting, Shunsui, Momo and Nanao rose to their feet. "Okay, Senpai. We have to go now. Can we take Kotetsu-Chan with us?" Shunsui asked.
Unohana frowned, but then she smiled and nodded. "Hai, of course you can."
Isane stood up and bowed to her. "Arigatou, Taichou. Please, take care of yourself."
"Hai, hai. I'll be alright."
End of Flashback.
Unohana sighed. "I wonder why Jushiro-San and Toushiro hadn't meet me yet, today? Did something happened to them?"
Then, a knock came to her room. "Come in."
The door slid open, and Ukitake came in, smiling to her. Unohana smiled back. "Ah, Jushiro... *Cough* You're here. What took you so long to meet me?"
Ukitake kneeled down, kissed her forehead and helped her up. "Sorry about that, dear. But right now, you must follow me."
"Where are we going? I'm sick, and I'm tired, so I won't be able to walk far..."
Ukitake smirked. "Don't worry. Just close your eyes first, and I'll use Shunpo so that we'll arrive there fast."
Unohana rolled her eys. "Fine." She closed her eyes and let Ukitake tie a cloth on her eyes. Then, Ukitake held her tightly and Shunpo with her.
"So, I'm going to untie this cloth. But don't open your eyes yet!"
"Yes, I'm not going to open my eyes!"
After a few minutes, Ukitake said to her. "Okay, you may open your eyes now."
When she opens her eyes, she was very shocked to see what was in front of her.
"Happy Birthday, Unohana-Taichou!" They were all in the park, and the place is decorated with ribbons, balloons and also a banner which wrote 'Happy Birthday Unohana-Taichou/Okaasan/Retsu'.
Everyone who were close to her were there. Ukitake, Toshiro, Momo, Yumichika, Isane, Shunsui, Nanao and Yamamoto. Unohana's eyes were filled with happy tears. "Minna-San..." A tear slid down her cheek. "Arigatou Gozaimas..."
Ukitake walked to her while holding a vanilla cake with fruits on it. Strawberries, Kiwis, Grapes, Mangoes and Apples with a number candle '2500'.
"Ah, yes. I'm already this old..."
"And I'm 2003 years old. So what?" Ukitake said with a smirk. Then, she kissed Unohana's wet cheek and whispered. "Don't cry, okay? You look awful when you're crying."
"Yeah, Okaasan. Don't cry." Toshiro said.
Then, all of them ate the cake, have some party together, and enjoyed their time together. Unohana was very happy. 'Best Birthday ever.'
