Chapter 51: CHAPTER 51: DID SOMEONE SAY SWEETS

Houryu ran as fast as he could towards where he sensed the fight.

"Tch… why did they have to be so far away." he cursed as he ran. He could have transmorphed and flown, but he was trying to be cautious as he didn't know what the situation would be like now, especially as this new variable popped up.

As he ran, he suddenly felt a drop of water on his face, many more followed an instance later, "It really just had to rain, didn't it?" He asked nobody in particular but kept on running.

The spiritual energies he was sensing had stopped clashing a while ago but he hoped to make it there to at least try to find out who of the two had a wisp of phoenix life force on them so he picked up the pace and this time he used flame explosions from under his feet to increase his speed, as it was already raining, no one would notice anything if they were watching.

Houryu finally reached the area, but he couldn't sense the foreign spiritual energies anymore.

"Fuck… they already left!" He cursed under his breath, but he still moved closer to see if there was anything he could find or see to gain more information concerning this issue, but all he saw were a half-dead Ichigo, with Urahara standing over him with an umbrella and an injured Ishida also on the floor a few meters away.

'Still nothing…' he thought as he used his sensing ability to go through the area but found nothing. He was about to open a garganta and run straight to soul society to find out about what was going on as he hated what was happening as it stirred up annoying memories.

But he suddenly stopped to calm himself down and think a bit. He first took a few deep breaths to calm his raging emotions as half of them wanted to run over straight to soul society and tear everything up until he found an answer, the other half was telling him to be rational and think things through logically.

This time his rational side won as he already knew from past experiences that listening to your raging emotions would do you no good in the long run.

His problem wasn't getting to soul society or getting answers after getting there, his problem was that doing that would be too loud and he'd end up doing somethings that'd be detrimental to his main goal which was gaining the hogyoku after it was completed… and going into soul society, swords swinging would totally change the whole story, even though it probably would not stop that from happening unless he killed Aizen himself in that scenario.

'So, I have to find a way to get in… and to get in reasonably quietly… and there is currently only one such way available.' Houryu pondered, deep into his thoughts.

'...Do I really have to rely on following schoolkids to save the princess… oh how the mighty have fallen.' Houryu thought as he facepalmed himself in shame.

'Tch…Why don't I have a disguise ability…' he thought, annoyed at himself as he walked away back towards his house as he had no plans to meet with Urahara or anyone for that matter… tonight.

As he walked back to his house under the rain, he picked up a flower as he walked and started plucking off the petals. Sensing his life force somewhere outside his body reminded him of his morbid past and put him in an annoyingly melancholic mood.

Suddenly he stopped and stared towards the sky, the rain still heavily beating down on his face,

"They say after the rain comes the rainbow… but what if there is no light for the rainbow to shine through…"

The next morning…

Houryu woke up to banging noises coming from somewhere below him. As he blinked sleepily, he looked around him drowsily but there was nothing much to see, the same window, the same door, no Sylvia…

'Wait… where's Sylvia.' he suddenly thought out loud as he noticed the door was open. He quickly stood up from the bed and dashed downstairs towards the kitchen to see Sylvia on the kitchen table in front of the microwave, in which something was already being warmed up.

*SWOOOSH* Houryu dashed in front of the microwave.

"You don't get to eat my ramen… Sylvia." He said as he looked at her warily while squinting .

"Kyuuuu" Sylvia answered back as she looked at him with her puppy eyes.

"No… Sylvia, I already told you… that won't work he said as he looked away from her face, but as he looked away, she made a pitiful "Kyuuuuuu" sound as she looked at him almost with tears in her eyes.

"Tch, fine… only this time." he said, as he gave in to her puppy eyes. The microwave behind him then began to make a beeping sound as Houryu turned around to bring out the cup ramen that was inside it.

He opened the lid and placed it in front of Sylvia who didn't waste any time before jumping on her prize and beginning to wolf it down.

"You really like your food huh… well get ready we're going to a sweets shop… today"

Sorry the chapter is a bit short guys, but I'll be travelling today, as I'll be resuming Uni classes tomorrow and didn't really have time to write much today.

But don't worry, the chapters would keep coming even while I have the classes. I'll try my best to make good on that promise, so encourage me with your reviews, comments and powerstones.

Thank You.

Chapter 52: CHAPTER 52: THE DEAL

Houryu stepped out of his house with Sylvia laying on his shoulder and closed the doors behind him as he walked away towards the street.

It was a late afternoon with a bit of breeze blowing, keeping the surroundings cool.

'Shouldn't have worn this jacket after all… but… I do look cool in it so it's okay.' Houryu thought to himself as he walked down the street.

He was dressed in a long white coat like jacket with a high collar and white spring cargo pants with nike sport shoes as footwear.

As he walked down the street, he garnered all types of looks from people on the street, especially from the opposite sex, but he pay'd it no mind as he walked on.

It took him almost an hour of walking to get to Urahara's shop. On getting to the front of the shop, there was a "Closed Today" sign stuck on the door but that did nothing to stop Houryu from walking to the door and opening it and walking into the shop.

'You do shady things in your store but won't even bother to lock the door and expect only a closed today sticker to keep everyone out… tch, is he really the greatest genius to ever appear in the soul society.' Houryu thought as he walked in and saw an opened part of the floorboards.

He could see a ladder that led down to the cavity below Urahara's shop. Houryu simply walked over before beginning to climb down the ladder. It was only a few seconds after he began climbing down the ladder and he already came out into the open cavity below Urahara's shop and Houryu could see what was going down on the floor as he saw Tessai sitting on Ichigo's back before a hole suddenly appeared under them and they fell in.

He continued down the ladder while Urahara explained to Ichigo what would happen if he didn't become a shinigami again in 72 hours.

Houryu finally got off the ladder and walked till he was just a few meters behind Urahara,

"I don't see how that is supposed to be effective in him gaining his shinigami powers back." he said as he stood behind Urahara and watched the whole fiasco.

"Ah… our guest… you finally decided to show yourself?" Urahara asked back while half covering his face with his fan, ignoring Houryu's question.

"Well, I wasn't exactly hiding myself, was I? … also, you don't actually think a don't closed sign would actually keep people out?" Houryu answered back lazily.

"True… but then only people like you wouldn't understand basic courtesy." Urahara answered back again.

"Stop playing the word game with me, Urahara Kisuke… I'm not amused." Houryu answered a bit sternly this time as he wasn't here to play around.

Urahara almost flinched at the mention of his full name, but he stopped himself just in time, only narrowing his eyes a bit.

"Well… what do you want… from me? Urahara finally asked the question that Houryu wanted to hear.

"Yeah, about that… I need you to do something for me… or well not really for me as I could do it myself and you were going to do it either way." Houryu started.

"And what is that?" Urahara cut in.

"I'm going to be passing through the senkaimon that you'll be building to soul society." Houryu finally made his request.

"What makes you think I will be doing that?" Urahara asked as if he was shocked at what Houryu said.

"Well for the fact that you are already preparing that kid behind you to storm soul society." Houryu answered back.

"But what makes you think I can do that?" Urahara asked again, still acting shocked.

"Well… as the former captain of Squad 12, the research center of the jotei 13… I'm pretty sure you can work something ou…!!!" Houryu started to say but was suddenly interrupted by a black coffin suddenly appearing around him and then sending spear like objects at him from all directions.

Outside the black coffin…

"Hado No. 90, Kurohitsugi!!!" Tessai shouted as he had both his hands pointed towards the black coffin.

"Wha…" Jinta had his mind opened wide as he watched what Tessai did, with Ururu beside him.

Urahara also watched, barely glancing at Tessai before glancing back at the black coffin which had now slowly began fading away.

As the black coffin faded out of view, it was replaced by a view of Houryu perfectly unharmed, thanks to the white skeleton aura around him.

Houryu slowly opened his eyes revealing his mangekyou sharingan and looked at them with a slightly peeved look on his face.

"Tch… why do people from this place always attack first without thinking, like idiots…", then he looked towards Tessai and said to him, " You're lucky you still need to be alive."

"Wow... What an interesting power." Urahara exclaimed as he looked very carefully at the skeleton aura around Houryu that was now gradually turning to white flames and dying out.

"Back to what I was saying… I will be using the senkaimon, along with those kids when it is done as I need to solve some business in soul society." Houryu said again, this time looking at Urahara with his mangekyou sharingan with a look that said he wouldn't be taking "No" for an answer.

"Well since I can't stop you… I have a question and a condition." Urahara started.

"About your question… No, I have nothing to do with Aizen, as I'm pretty sure that's the only pressing question for you right now to ask me… as for your condition, do tell?" Houryu cut in.

"Don't harm them or their interests or else…" Urahara started and then the atmosphere around him suddenly changed as his spiritual energy flowed out heavily.

"Don't worry, I have no interests in messing with operation "save the princess" or a bunch of school kids… but even if I did… keke." Houryu answered back with a little laugh, "You can't stop me." He declared in the end, as his own spiritual energy flowed outwards as well, totally suppressing the whole area.

Houryu then stopped sending out his spiritual energy and began to turn away back to where the ladder was, "I take it we have a deal? … also, I'm a bit peeved now, so I don't want to see any black… cats… anywhere around my business." He said before he left the cave with very quick footwork.

"... scary…" Jinta mumbled silently.
