"Hahaha, you've been pranked!"
Silence descended on the three of them. Kisuke has cold sweat running through his back while he maintains his nonchalant expression.
Yoruichi is snickering at Kisuke's actions and Koneko is slowly walking towards the two with her head hanging down, her hair bangs were shadowing her eyes. Kisuke can't see the face she is making right now and is just waiting for her to reach him and get pummeled for real.
When Koneko reached Kisuke, she was just more than a foot away. Due to the height difference, Kisuke can only see her head still hanging down.
Her next action, however, shocked not only Kisuke but also Yoruichi. Koneko hugged Kisuke and started apologizing with her sniffling voice, "...I'm sorry...I'm sorry...I'm sorry."
Yoruichi gave Kisuke a blaming look. Kisuke, on the other hand, panicked for the first time since he reincarnated here.
He hurriedly patted Koneko's head and said, "N-no, Koneko-chan. Don't apologize. It's my jokes that have gone too far. I'm sorry."
'Did I just opened some sort of trauma for her?' Is what he thought, otherwise, she wouldn't have such a reaction.
But before he could contemplate more on this idea, Koneko moved to his back while still hugging him. He felt his body became lighter and the next thing he knew was he is knocking his head to the ground.
Koneko just did a german suplex on him and wiped her face of her tears.
"Yoruichi-san, please let me borrow your bathroom and washing machine. I'm sticky from sweat and dust." Koneko faced the cat and started walking towards the shop.
"Sure. I'll show where is it." Yoruichi responded and followed Koneko inside.
Kisuke was left all alone having an affair with the ground but he isn't even mad as he thought that his punishment is pretty light.
Koneko took an hour and a half long bath to clean and also calm herself down. Her uniform was also done with dry cleaning.
Koneko dried her for another five minutes. She noticed that her hairclips are still not with her. Remembering her senpai still has those, she dressed up and went to the living room.
In there, Kisuke is nowhere to be found. Koneko only saw Yoruichi on top of the sofa watching a late-night TV show, and a mountain of snacks situated on the center table.
Koneko smiles a little at this sight but immediately returned to her stoic expression. She sat down on the sofa and started working on those snacks.
"Kisuke-senpai?" Koneko asked Yoruichi while munching on cookies.
"He said he wanted to check on something and returned to his room on the second floor. He's been at it for more than an hour now." Yoruichi looked at Koneko, 'cute' she thought.
Koneko stopped eating and looked at the cat, "...Is he... avoiding me?" She inquired in a low voice.
"No way that's the case. That idiot's face is thicker than the wall of China." The cat retorted at her words.
"Pfft." This is one of the rare times that Yoruichi saw Koneko laugh, 'really cute' is what on her mind.
"Hey hey, Koneko-chan, you should at least deny that. You know I'm a wholesome senpai that gets embarrassed on many occasions." Kisuke came walking from the stair a cheeky grin on his face.
"Shut up, Ero-senpai." Koneko didn't look at him and just continued eating.
"Harsh!"
Kisuke also sat down on the sofa and helped Koneko with the snacks.
"How did you do it?" Koneko suddenly asked.
"Hmm?"
"How can you keep dodging and countering my attacks? I know for sure that I'm faster and stronger than you. Can you see the future?"
"Haha~. No way. I'm not a fortune teller." Kisuke just laughed at Koneko's guess.
"Then how?"
"Koneko-chan, you're strong, physically, but as a fighter, you're very inexperienced."
Koneko looked at him urging him to continue.
"I can tell your next action based on how you move your muscles and how you flare up your aura.
"You're too straightforward with how you fight and rarely use any feints.
"After fighting you for a few minutes, I manage to figure your whole style. You didn't notice that I was leading you to do some actions that I can easily counter.
"Remember those 'pokes'? Those are your openings in which you wouldn't be able to react in time and can be fatal if attacked with enough force."
Koneko glared at Kisuke when she heard the word 'pokes', but Kisuke ignored it and just continued explaining.
"How were you able to do all of that?" Koneko pouted as she remembered their match. She received too many pokes and the thought of all of that can actually kill her scared her a little.
"How? hmmm, let just say that I've been in some life-or-death battles and I had to learn that to survive." Kisuke stood up and walk to the kitchen to get the barley tea in the refrigerator. He returned with two glasses and filled it to the brim.
Koneko is silently contemplating everything that Kisuke had just said.
"You could have hit him if you stop holding back." Yoruichi who is silently watching the two all this time suddenly spoke.
"I didn't hold anything back at the last few minutes of our sparring." Koneko is confused at Yoruichi's words. The cat sounds like he is very certain that she was holding back.
"You're holding back, and you know it," Yoruichi repeated her words.
Koneko as if she remembered something shuddered.
"...How did you.." Koneko just trailed her words in response.
"I see... So you are afraid." Kisuke immediately saw through her concerns.
Koneko's eyes widened. She was shocked yet again at Kisuke words.
The only people who knew of her origins and real abilities are those of the Gremory Household. Due to a certain incident when she was young, she came to fear her powers and never used it again.
She is worried that this power will take hold of her and hurt those around and important to her. Hence her reaction earlier when she thought that she almost 'killed' Kisuke.
She hangs her head down and tears are about to flow again when she felt a hand landing down on her head.
Koneko looked up and saw Kisuke, eyes still shadowed by his hat but he has a gentle smile on his face.
"Koneko, If you don't want to use it, then don't, if that is going to make you more at ease. But remember this, you have a power within you because you own it, not the other way around."
"What does that mean?" Koneko wiped her tears and asked.
"It means that power is something for you to control, and you don't have to be afraid of something you control." It was Yoruichi who answered Koneko's question.
"Well, well. You can think about that later, it doesn't have to be now." Kisuke suddenly clapped his hands to change the mood. "Koneko-chan, it's pretty late. You should go." He reminded her.
"Um... Thanks for having me Kisuke-senpai, Yoruichi-san." Koneko stood up and bowed to the two. A red magic circle appeared below her.
"Take this with you." Kisuke took out a paper bag and stuffed a bunch of snacks to it and gave it to Koneko.
"If you want to train your hand-to-hand combat and some fighting experience, you can come here. This guy will accompany you." Yoruichi said to Koneko while she waves her paw.
"Thanks, I will." Koneko disappeared in a burst of light, teleporting her away.
"Aren't you too soft on her?" Yoruichi directed a question to Kisuke.
"Well, aren't you the same? It feels like I have a little sister that I can spoil." Kisuke covered his face with the fan and laugh.
"Right, I have this strange urge to spoil her." Yoruichi agreed with him.
I'll be busy again for a few days due to some works I accepted.
Anyway, enjoy.

Please write a review if you're free. tnx.
A week has passed.
Koneko accepted Yoruichi's invitation to practice her hand-to-hand combat. She came four times this week and Kisuke accompanied her every time.
Each session lasts for about four hours and Koneko didn't need any body and stamina training due to her Rook piece, so Kisuke focused on her technique training.
Kisuke taught her different stances and the usage of light and heavy forces. He also taught her how to refine her demonic power to use it for attacks and active defense as her Rook piece automatically uses it to strengthen her body.
Kisuke can see real improvements in her skills every session as she is very talented in this regard and takes her training very seriously. It is to the point that Kisuke can't play around much anymore on their sparring matches if he wants to keep the force he is using.
Koneko however, is very frustrated as she can still see her senpai very nonchalant at everything. She's doing everything she could so just she could kick Kisuke's face just even just once. She thought that she is not improving at all.
But she still trying her best to learn everything her senpai taught her despite not seeing improvement from her perspective. And this is what both Kisuke and Yoruichi were happy to see, to persevere even not seeing much progress. That is also why Kisuke and Yoruichi are very enthusiastic at their teaching.
Kisuke asked Koneko to keep their training a secret and use her former battle style when there is a fight which is like a brutal cat that smashes everything. It's a pretty easy thing to do for Koneko what her senpai asked as she didn't have to think much when fighting and just mow everything down, one of the reasons why Koneko can't see her progress.
Kisuke gave her a reason that he can't use everything he taught her in a real fight yet as she hasn't learned everything and might just hurt herself. In reality, Kisuke told her this as he didn't want to grab the attention on the Gremory peerage yet. In their eyes, Kisuke is just a big fan of Koneko.
--------------------
Kisuke is currently walking along the hallway while yawning. He hadn't had any proper sleep due to researching and decoding the data hidden on Koneko's hairclip. The fruits of his labor bore and he finished decoding everything.
The data inside is a bunch of experimental logs about creating an artificial Super Devil, which of course surprised Kisuke quite a bit as experiments like this are often inhuman. The main theory about creating a Super Devil isn't recorded but he can glean some aspects of it.
The experimental logs mainly record the development of the 'black nekoshou' and its reaction to various catalysts projected by the main theory. The 'black nekoshou's' magic improved by leaps and bounds but it had the price of deteriorating the body. The researchers then concluded that the 'black nekoshou' won't last until the experiments were done and planned the future track of experiments on the backup 'white nekoshou'.
But the logs abruptly stopped there. He didn't know how Koneko got hold of this data but he is sure that it is not a coincidence as Koneko gives so much importance to her hairclips. Kisuke, however, can't be sure what is its connection to her as the term 'nekoshou' didn't come up in any books inside Cleria's library. He isn't even sure if 'nekomata' and 'nekoshou' are related at all aside from the 'neko'
in both of its names.
Kisuke encrypted the data again and erased the traces of his access to it. He planned to return it to Koneko by the end of the day.
When he entered his classroom, he heard some students arguing.
"Kiryuu Aika! You don't know the charm of Momo Momozono!" A guy with a shaved head and wearing his school uniform with an unbuttoned blazer shouted, making all girls in the classroom except for one reel in disgust.
"Why should I understand the charm of an adult video actress? Are you asking me to understand the fetishes of you three?" Asked back the spectacled beauty which has gold-colored eyes and lightly messy brunette hair tied into braids on each side. Regrettably, this beauty is also a pervert.
""" Damn you Kiryuu Aika. """ The three guys opposite of her raised their voices.
These three guys were Matsuda, Motohama, and his childhood friend Issei. They are one of the few male students of the Kuoh Academy since this school just became coed just more than a year ago. They are also known as the three of The Four Heavenly Perverts. As for the last one of the four? It is Kisuke himself due to some of his conduct and numerous girls witnessing the trio sharing their porn to Kisuke for him to give it a review.
"You four sure are energetic early this morning~. *yawn*" Kisuke reached his seat and greeted the arguing students.
""" Kisuke! """ The trio acted as if they found their savior.
"Kisuke, help us enlighten her with Momo-sama's greatness." The one who spoke is Motohama. Motohama has the ability to calculate a female's body measurements just by looking, which earned him nicknames such as "Perverted Glasses" and "Three Sizes Scouter". It's stated that he has a special body where his power level plummets down when he takes his glasses off. Motohama is known to have better results than both Issei and Matsuda and appears to be the most level headed of the trio as he tries to keep his cool even when committing perverted acts.
'Why should I?!' Kisuke thought about this outrageous idea of educating a high school girl about a porn actress.
" Urahara Kisuke, the strongest of The Four Heavenly Perverts." The girl, Kiryuu Aika suddenly commented.
"Haha, you overestimate me." Kisuke scratched his cheek and replied to her.
"Overestimate? You have better photography skills than Matsuda, a more accurate 'Scouter' than Motohama, and more profound knowledge than Issei. You're too humble." Aika smiled at Kisuke's words while fixing her pink-framed glasses.
"Haha~. I'll get embarrassed if you praise me that much."
"""She isn't praising you! It means you're of a pervert than the three of us combined.""" The trio retorted at Kisuke's remark.
"Anyway, just 'defeat' her for us. We can't deal with her." Matsuda is still frustrated by their earlier argument.
"I don't know what happened, but you just want me to make her feel shame again, right?" Kisuke inquired at the trio and they all nodded their heads in response.
"Ugh... Just so you know, even if show me again a photo of me being chased around by a group of dogs or even a picture of me just in my underwear I won't get embarrassed." Aika flinched a bit but immediately regained her confidence.
Kisuke didn't say anything and stood up. He walked towards Aika with a serious expression. Aika wanted to back up a bit but she can't as there is a wall behind her.
Kisuke reached in front of Aika with just a distance of a foot between them, then he suddenly slammed his right hand to the side of her head hitting the wall behind her. He then lifted her chin with his left hand to match their gazes and flashed a predatorial smile before saying, "Then how about you and me have some fun later?"
Aika is dumbfounded, the three stooges are dumbfounded, everyone in the classroom is dumbfounded. Silence prevailed for a few seconds until Aika erupted. Her face heats up and blushes, she then proceeded to give Kisuke a headbutt to his nose.
Kisuke winced in pain and Aika escaped from his grasp. "Damn you Urahara Kisuke! I'll get back at you for this!" She runs out of the classroom while leaving her threats to Kisuke.
""" Wh-wh-what!!!? """ The three perverts exploded.
"Well you see, Kiryuu-chan might be a pervert and have a lot of knowledge regarding adult relationships, but she doesn't have any personal experiences on this. I assumed that she'll get embarrassed if someone actually confronts her as I did earlier. It's way more effective than I thought though. Ow-ow, that hurts." Kisuke explained while he nurses his nose.
""" It makes us madder if you can easily do an ikemen move like that! """ The trio wanted to punch Kisuke's face, but they refrained as he is quite ruthless when fighting back. They already saw it a few times.
"But seeing Kiryuu Aika getting embarrassed like that makes her very cute, considering you can only see her with a sneer and very eccentric behavior," Issei said while the two are still seething in anger.
Everyone in the classroom agreed with him though nobody voiced it out.
I edited chap 15-Back to Business.
I removed High Speed Regeneration from Kisuke's Skill set as it overlaps with his bankai.
Anyway, Enjoy
