Chapter 10

Urahara-san Goes Crazy

"Wow, the child is early!" Urahara said to me as I returned. But really, I was still too early for the deadline, with around 3 hours left til midnight. I already said goodbye to Sado a couple of blocks away, also reminding him that this was a top secret mission. And with his nod, I understood that my secret was safe with him.

"Where are the stuff?" he said this as if I was handling some illegal materials, which was sort of true also, in a way, since I STOLE them. I just handed him a small pouch and his eyes were brimming with tears of joy.

"Finally!" he commented, stroking the pouch against his face, "these weeks of hardwork will finally pay off!" and of course, Tessai was still in the background, observing me, and then asking me to leave, clueless once more.

As soon as I got out of the room, I was met by Yoruichi-san who held a digicam in her hand. "Oh, Hi Ururu!" she exclaimed, "Back from your top secret mission, I see." Then, she winked at me. So she was in on it all along? Or she might have just interrogated Urahara-san like she always does.

"Sorry, but I just finished an errand," I replied, trying to play it safe.

"Oh, don't worry child, I know all about it now. I was kept in the dark too, but I think you still don't know the whole picture, right?"

"Urahara-san's business, is Urahara-san's. if he wants to keep it confidential, it is his call." I replied, still acting on the safe side.

"He did teach you well, but, I assure you, it's nothing serious. I personally think he is off his head right now, if you know what I mean."

I simply nodded.

"Well, Ja! I still have to reject Kurosaki. And he is such a sweet kid…" and she left the shop.

Well, Yoruichi-san's not worried. So it is nothing that can harm anybody, right? With the way she was talking, she seemed amused at this project of Urahara-san. Hhmmm…

Once again, I was deep in thought and was interrupted by the ever-annoying Jinta.

"Yo!" he yelled, and hung his arm over my shoulders. "Got something juicy to tell me?"

I just shook my head. "Let's just mind our own chores for now." I replied, though I was itching to tell him all of my discoveries and developed theories.

"You're no fun, Ururu!" he sighed, and walked off.

Later that evening, after dinner, there was another visitor at our door. But this time, it didn't seem like he was invited. I was the first to reach the door. I know he wasn't invited by the boss since the boss was already sleeping. (though it was still very early.)

"Good evening," he greeted me. "Is Urahara around?"

I was astonished that this guy would show up here. I think I felt his presence around noon, but I thought that was just me. Guess I wasn't mistaken. "Please wait here…" I said. Closed the door, leaving him outside, then went over to Urahara's room.

First, I took a peek, to check, and he really was sound asleep. This is troublesome for me again. I'd have to wake him. Then, an idea came to me. Why don't I check with Tessai first? He is indeed like second or perhaps third in command here if Yoruichi was to be counted.

I headed to his room, I couldn't peek for his door was locked, so I knocked three times. Immediately after the third knock, his door opened. It was weird, but he still had his glasses on.

"What is it?"

"There's a visitor outside, he wants to see if Urahara is here, but Urahara-san is asleep. I wondered if…"

"Then wake him up. What are you bothering me for?" he said, then closed the door. That was a very peculiar behavior of Tessai, but I guess he knows who came.

Going back to the door of Urahara-san, I was interrupted once more by Jinta. "Who is at the door?"

"None of our business. He just wants to see Urahara-san."

"Come on!" he said, "You can tell me."

"Why don't you go see for yourself?" I said, I was irritated for he told me to go get the door when someone rang the bell, when he could've done it himself.

"I'll find out later then. Ja! Good luck with waking up Urahara-san." And again, he left me, and headed for his room.

I found myself shaking my head, which I couldn't tell if it was out of irritation at Jinta-kun, or I was telling myself that I shouldn't wake Urahara-san up.

Knock. Knock. Knock. I peeked, he was still asleep. I went in, and said softly, "Urahara-san." I tried. Still nothing. I tried again, a little louder. "Urahara-san. Urahara-san." Still no movement. This was it. I had to shake him to wake up. "Urahara-san, Urahara-san." I said, while shaking him. Suddenly, he grabbed my neck, and I don't know how he did it, and my reflexes were still to slow that I just found Benihime's hilt an inch from my face. At least it was not a fatal shot, right? Or was it?

"Ururu?" he said. At least he realized it was me, that he didn't continue the "finishing blow" if it was really.

"Sorry…" I whispered, I was so scared. "A Captain is outside the shop to see you."

"I know."

"He wants to speak to you."

"I know."

I lay there silent and still, then he laughed. "I was avoiding him all day, and was hoping you would tell him I was asleep." He said, then stood up took his cap and put it on his head. I watched him go towards the entrance of the shop.

Then, before opening the door, he looked back at me, and said, "Prepare some tea, please. Thank you." And I immediately followed his order. My last sight of him was him fixing up his robe as if to make sure he looked respectable, then I headed off to the kitchen.

As far as I could hear, there were no greetings. Of course, once more I am curious. Why would the captain with the white hair accessory be here. He was Captain Kuchiki right? And it seemed to worry Urahara-san too.

I went over to the receiving room of the shop, and served tea. Again, they were still silent. I'm not even sure if they talked. Then, Urahara said I should stay.

"Ururu, why don't you sit with us? Byakuya, you don't mind right?" and Byakuya simply shook his head.

"We might need something later, so why don't you stay around. And I'm sure you have been curious too." I simply stared at him, playing innocent, and then I saw in his eyes a flare of mischief. He looked back at Byakuya who took a sip of tea. For a second, I thought I saw Urahara-san smile.

"What has been going on, Urahara?" I finally heard Captain Kuchiki speak.

"What do you mean?" he said. As if still waiting for something to happen.

"I've heard that you've been 'summoning' shinigamis here and there. Even Captain Unohana went here."

"Wait. Unohana? She's here?"

"You didn't call her?"

"Why would I call her? I'm scared of that woman." He said, then squirmed at the thought.

"She has left Seretei saying she is on her way here. I even saw her Vice-Captain today, which makes me wonder, what could be so important that she would leave fourth squad to the third seat."

"I have been up to nothing, really. I 've just been talking to the shinigamis, trying their gigais, and well, about Unohana, I have no idea." He said, then glimpsed at me. "Our little friend here may have some idea." I was shocked by the sudden attention then pointed my own index finger at my face. And he nodded.

I was about to speak when there was another knock at the door. Jinta answered this time, probably thinking I was already in too much trouble. When he opened the door, it was Isane—speak about timing huh?

"Sorry for coming at this time." She said, bowing to Urahara, and shocked to see Byakuya was in the shop as well. "Kuchiki-taichou!"

"What is it, Isane?" Urahara said.

"I lost track of Captain Unohana." She said, then she stopped all of a sudden for she noticed Byakuya was staring peculiarly at her. "Kuchiki-taichou?"

"hhmm…interesting." Urahara said.

"Captain Unohana missing?" I asked, if that was what it was, and then said.

"So, it has slower effects when taken orally, than when inhaled."

"What does?" I asked, trying if I could make him spill anything. But before he could say anything, he already realized what I was doing.

"Nice try, Ururu-kun. Keep guessing. Consider it part of your training. Haha!" he laughed.

Then, I looked towards Captain Kuchiki, and saw him, holding the hand of Isane, and his face, though still stern held some adoration at the face he was staring at.

"Isane…" he said sweetly. Isane was blushing furiously. It was indeed true, that even for me, a kid, Captain Kuchiki possessed good looks. And to add to that, he is a noble.

"Really, interesting, this new development." Urahara said.

"But you never touched the tea?" I whispered, but I guess it was loud enough for him to hear.

"Well, where did you get the tea?" he looked at me, grinning, "from the jar where I prepared tea this lunch right?" and he giggled.

So this is my fault? No. He knew exactly what was going to happen. He asked me to make tea, because he knew this will happen.

Yoruichi suddenly appeared between Byakuya and Isane. "What?" she said, eyes squinted, examining. She pointed to Byakuya, "I'm sure this one's drugged." And then laughed. She was trying to piss him off, like she always could, but was surprised when he didn't take notice of her.

"Is this a new formulation?" she said, sniffing the cup of tea.

"This is my most purest combination, the aerosol one isn't." he whispered.

Suddenly, my attention was diverted back to Byakuya and Isane. I have heard and may have witnessed some aggressive men, but Byakuya was an extreme. We all were astounded to find him suddenly carrying Isane like newlyweds.

"Kuchiki-Taichou!" she yelled, then with her arms she got out of his embrace. So she was that strong. "Gommennasai!" she said, to all of us. Then ran off.

"What just happened?" Tessai said. He ran to the cup of tea, smelled it then pointed to Byakuya.

"Yes." Urahara-san replied. "But this mix is different from the previous ones. This just removes inhibitions." In my mind, I was jumping for joy, for he finally slipped! Then I wondered, what did he need the tablet-looking-menos grandes-summoning things?

"I think it's about time you know, Ururu," then he looked around, and said, "you too Jinta."

I chose to stay silent, and Jinta emerged from where we were hiding earlier. He sat beside me, and bowed in apology. He also remained silent. Probably like me, waiting for Urahara to continue.

"Oh, by the way," Yoruichi said, "Kurosaki is so over me!" she laughed.

"That fast?" Tessai said.

"Well, if effects occur earlier and faster, chances are, they will easily lose their effects." Urahara said, removing his hat. In sudden realization, he said, "Wait!"

All of us held our breaths for what he was about to say. "My formulation is to remove inhibitions right?" he looked each one of us in the eye. Then looked directly at Byakuya who was still staring at the door where he last saw Isane. "Then that means…?"

"I am really fond of Isane." Byakuya answered himself. Yoruichi-san fell to the floor. Urahara-san's jaw dropped. I simply stared. And Jinta, well, I think he fainted.
