Volume 2 Chapter 15 - Back to Business (Updated)
Afternoon, a pleasant wind is blowing and the weather is sunny but it isn't too hot.
A young man is walking through the quiet streets of the town's outskirts. He is a tall, lean man with light skin and gray eyes. His hair is messy and light-blond, with strands framing the sides of the face and hanging between his eyes. He is wearing the Kuoh Academy uniform which consists of a black blazer with white accents over a white, long-sleeved button-down shirt with vertical linings, a black ribbon on the collar, matching black pants, and brown dress shoes.
This man is, of course, Kisuke Urahara. He turned 17 this year and is now a second-year highschool of Kuoh Academy. He is currently walking back home after school.
When he reached his place, he didn't enter his house, instead, he crossed the road and went inside a two-story building. This building is a cheap candy store with a signboard that says 'Urahara Shop'. 𝐟𝐫𝗲𝙚w𝚎𝐛𝙣𝐨𝙫𝘦𝗹.c૦m
Kisuke's mother, Urahara Sakura, is currently on a 1-month business trip and left a week ago.
Over the counter, you can see an old lady manning it. This old lady is actually not a human, but a Gigai(Faux Body) with a basic mod soul to tend to shop while Kisuke is not in. It automatically enters inside and disappears once Kisuke takes over and appear whenever Kisuke goes to school.
Kisuke entered the shop from the side and said, "I'm home."
"Welcome home." A reply came from a black cat with golden pupils that walked out from the corner. "How was today?" The cat continued speaking with a distinctly male voice.
"Tiring! President Sh*tori is still hounding me for taking a photo of her when I accidentally saw her cosplaying as a magical girl." Kisuke removed his shoes at the door and proceeded to his room to change.
"Oh, that glasses girl? She is a devil, right?" Yoruichi followed him inside and continued asking seemingly curious.
"Yeah. She is the leader of one of the two devil groups that entered the town two years ago and the current Student Council President. She even used the help of her hyperactive knight, Tomoe Meguri, too try to chase me when there is no one around."
Kisuke changes into his signature attire which consists of a dark green Shihakusho(Garment of Dead Souls) without an undershirt. Over this, he wears a black haori, which sports a white diamond pattern along its bottom half, reminiscent of an inverted captain's haori. He also wore wooden sandals and a striped dark green and white bucket hat that shadows his eyes. Thus the reemergence of Mr. Hat-and-Clogs at the world where mythological beings walk the earth.
"How did you escaped then?"
"Since I can't show the strength of above ordinary humans yet, I choose to materialize Benihime in her cane form and striped the skirt of that knight to stop chasing me." The two then proceeded to the counter to sit, the fake old lady is already nowhere to be found.
"As expected of one of the Perverted Quartet, your methods live up to its name, hehe." Yoruichi tried teasing Kisuke but suddenly remembered his words, "Wait, you used Benihime? Isn't that worse than showing strength?"
"In our old word, maybe, but not here. A human with extraordinary strength is not normal, but a normal human materializing a weapon is not unheard of. They will just think of me as a guy who is a bit skilled in swordsmanship and has a sword type sacred gear, nothing out of common sense." Kisuke explained to Yoruichi.
"But still, is that fine?"
"It is. When those two groups of devils arrive, the activities of supernaturals increased. There are even a few fallen angels coming in and out these days. It won't be long before a conflict occurs. We might not be able to hide anymore, especially since Issei's left arm's aura kept increasing day by day and will soon attract some attention. I want to see what will happen." Kisuke took out a fan and started fanning himself while having a grin thinking of the future.
"What a bad smile. Well, he really does remind me Ichigo albeit a lot more perverted. If he is similar to Ichigo in our old world, then he will probably become a center of the maelstrom, in other words, a protagonist." Yoruichi commented when she thought of the perverted kid who became best friends with Kisuke.
"How did it go for you today?" Kisuke suddenly changed the subject and asked Yoruichi.
"I'm done practicing everything and even improved some. I'm officially back to my heyday and stronger." Yoruichi replied happily.
"Then we really don't have any reason to remain hidden any longer. You probably already very bored, considering you're a bit of a battle maniac~." Kisuke was happy for her partner but remembered something else. "You practiced everything? I'm pretty sure you didn't even try your last move. Shall we~?"
"NO WAY IN HELL!!!" Yoruichi is acted like someone stepped on her tail.
"Oh come on~, it is not that ba- OW!" Kisuke is tried to persuade the cat, but with an annoying grin on his face so Yoruichi scratched his face and ran away.
Kisuke just smiled at his lover's action while nursing his wounds.
Kisuke and Yoruichi regained there full abilities plus more. They don't know how strong are they in this world but they are sure that they are safe from random devils, angels or fallen angels. This is not them being arrogant but confident. And Kisuke's comparison of 'random' devil is Rizevim who he encountered years ago, the 'self' proclaimed super devil.
To summarize Kisuke's current abilities, full mastery of Kidou(demon arts) common, modified and original; Shunpo(Flash Step); Hakuda(Hand-to-Hand Combat); and Zanjutsu(Art of the Sword) for his Shinigami abilities.
He also became a Vizard thanks to the Hougyoku giving him Hollow abilities, though he was more close to an Arrancar due to his move sets which are, Cero(Hollow Flash); Gran Ray Cero(Royal Hollow Flash); Cero Oscuras(Black Hollow Flash); Bara(Hollow Bullet); Hierro(Iron Skin) which boost his defenses to a large degree; and Descorrer(Loosening Void) which allows him to use Garganta, but he modified it so that he can open a passage anywhere he has been.
But due to this Hollowfication, his Zanpakuto, Benihime, became even more unreasonable and unmanageable. If the former Benihime is a prim and proper princess in yukata albeit sadistic, the Benihime now is delinquent who now wants to see everyone's blood.
Yoruichi has the same skill set as her former self but stronger due to mana. Kisuke can't hollowfy her because of her very special Zanpakuto. Up to this day, she still can't control her Zanpakuto, Byakko.
