Urahara-san Goes Crazy

Chapter 1

A story told from Ururu's point of view…

The shop has never been this busy. For the past two weeks, more and more shinigamis come to visit. I really have no idea what is going on, maybe there is trouble or something like it. My training, and I think Jinta's as well, have been put on a break because Urahara-san is so busy meeting with the shinigamis.

When I ask Tessai-san, he won't tell me anything either. He says, "If Urahara-san won't tell you anything, then you are not privy to it." I'm really not that curious, but whenever I see the shinigamis step out of the store, there is something really different about them, but I just can't seem to point what it is.

Exactly thirteen days ago, when Renji came, he was the first to visit the shop, other than Ichigo and Rukia, of course, I was just outside sweeping the front of the shop. He came in acting all tough and being who he is. He argued with Jinta as well. Jinta just kept on pressing the issue about Renji free-loading again. Then, Urahara-san slowly came out of the store, his fan was up against his face and his hat was placed in a manner that shadowed his eyes, and he just put a hand on Renji's shoulder and they went inside. It was really weird. It seemed that they had some kind of understanding, and Renji just forgot about Jinta-kun.

Thirteen days ago…

"Renji sure is weird," Jinta said, scratching his head lightly and eyes wide in amusement of how he saw Renji just calm down immediately.

"That's really an unlikely behavior of that red-head," he commented.

"You're a red-head too, Jinta-kun," I said. But then, he hated being compared to people so he rubbed his knuckles against my head. It didn't really hurt but it was really annoying. Just then, Tessai-san opened the door and gestured for us to keep it down. Jinta-kun and I immediately did and I resumed with my chore of sweeping the front of the shop and Jinta-kun just went to the roof and sat there, ordering me around. sigh

Few minutes later, I was still sweeping the front of the shop and Renji stepped out. I first saw his feet with the slippers on, and when I looked up, his face was somehow softer. When I say softer, his features were less tough, and his eyes seemed so full of joy. That was really weird of him. The weirdest of all was, he slumped down, looked directly at me, smiling, and brought out a peace sign with his right hand.

"Hi, Ururu." He said, still smiling, and his hands shifted from the peace sign to a wave, "Good work here." He was still smiling.

"Thank you?" I answered and he opened his eyes, still smiling.

"You look so cute, you know that?" he said, "give me a hug!" he said, his arms outward and he grabbed me and hugged me.

From nowhere, I heard Jinta-kun screaming, "Hey, Freeloader-san, what are you doing with Ururu?" he said, bat in hand.

Renji let me go immediately and arms still stretched out to give a hug, but it was now directed at Jinta. "Jinta!" he said, grabbing Jinta and hugging him as well, like a girl holding her favorite stuff toy. Jinta turned red and swung his bat at Renji.

Renji pouted and said, "It's okay Jinta, I forgive you for "accidentally" hitting me," and stood straight. "I've got to get going. Urahara is the best. You guys are lucky you work for him."

He left, skipping away from the store.

"What was up with him?!" Jinta-kun said. "That was really weird and yucky too. I've never been that hugged before, and I never wanted it to be by a guy!" His face was full of disgust and he then looked at me. "Are you okay, Ururu?"

"I'm fine," I said, "really, I'm used to it, because most people think I'm cute. Hahahahaha." I laughed. ""But was that really Renji? Abarai Renji?" I said seriously.

"Yeah, in know, do you think—" he was then interrupted by Urahara-san whom I saw minutes before observing Renji's behavior.

"What is it, Jinta?" he said.

Jinta-kun suddenly turned red from being embarrassed because of what he was about to say and said, "Nothing, nothing," shaking his head violently, and arms gesturing that it really was nothing. It was obvious what he thought, I said to myself.

"Go back to your chores now," he said, and went back to the store fan still covering half of his face, and just before he went inside, I saw him glance back at us. His eyes seemed excited or something, about something I have no idea of. Then he said, "Ururu, I am holding off your trainings for a while, I am busy with something," and he continued his walk into the shop.

That was thirteen days ago. It was just the first, and there were so many after that. I've had my suspicions with all that happened, but I still have no idea what Urahara-san is doing to the shinigamis. Only Ichigo and Rukia, who visit everyday have no change in moods, or if they did, it was nothing I could observe. And it isn't just the shinigamis. I also recall Ishida, Inoue, and Chad go into the shop.

I wonder what Urahara-san really is up to…
