Bleach Unrated: REBOOTEDCurrent Arc: The ChaosEpisode 532 "An Unlikely Pair": (Continued) Kenji unlocked the door to his new home. Again, he was surprised at how clean, organized and well kept it was. Isao and Koi had cleaned out her personal things but left quite a bit behind. Shelves neatly filled with books and scrolls. The books had bindings the same colors are ones in the lab. There was a desk with stacks of folders and binders. Kenji walked through the living room that was nicely furnished. Same with the dining room and kitchen. He pulled open the fridge to find it empty...Of course. There was a cork board next to the a window. There was a single thing tacked on it - a photo of Koi and Honzo. Kenji smiled.
"Two bedrooms..." whispered Kenji as he tossed the keys in his hand. He turned a corner to find a narrow hall. To the right, off the kitchen, was the bathroom. Across the hall was the first bedroom. Based on the set up, and the number of books in the room, he assumed this was Honzo's room. At the end of the hall was the master bedroom. Kenji looked around the room. It was huge. He had his own bathroom and an enormous closet. There was also a balcony. Kenji smiled. He was still in disbelief. This was his space.
"Thanks, Koi..." Kenji turned around, making sure that no one else was around before he jumped up and down and punched the air in excitement. His smile faded hearing someone down the hall. |

Yoruichi, in her black cat form, prowled down the hallway of Koi Coda's home. She had followed her son's scent here after hearing him leave the house around midday. Had they not just eaten lunch, she would have thought nothing of it. She was surprised when his scent led her here. Curious. Curious enough that she found an open window and effortlessly lept in. She had heard Kenji making soft excited noises as she snuck around. Yoruichi wasn't sure what was going on, but she was definitely going to find out. She doubted her son was a cat burglar. His cat form was much too large for that.
She was surprised to see him in the living room, celebrating to himself, dancing like she often saw Kisuke doing whenever he figured out the mechanics on a new invention. Yoruichi hopped up on the desk, watching him quietly in amusement, her tail flicking around. After she had seen enough she chuckled, the cat's male voice saying, "Well, whatever it is you're doing in here, you must be quite proud of yourself for having accomplished it."

Kenji squeezed his eyes shut. He hated the fact that his mother’s voice was male when in cat form. “Hey…Mom.” He opened his eyes and looked across the room to the cat sitting on the desk. “And, I didn’t actually accomplish anything…Well, not on my own. Koi…uh…Koi gave me her shop and apartment to look after.”
Kenji walked over to the couch and sat down. He was still grinning ear to ear. “She just asked that I take care of it for her…and Honzo.”

"I see. She did, did she?" Yoruichi hummed, flicking her tail. She hopped down from the desk and prowled over to the couch, jumping up gracefully and laying down next to Kenji. "So Koi has finally gone back to her husband then? Good for her. She deserves some peace. Isao too. She hasn't been the same since Honzo died. This attack she went through seemed to be the icing on the cake."
Yoruichi looked up at Kenji after casting her gaze around the room. "So... did she ask you to preserve it, or did she give you free creative license to do whatever you wanted with it? I always thought it was rather silly that a restaurant named The Koi was actually a chicken restaurant. Though she did serve great kara'age. I'll give her that."

"She said she didn't care..." Kenji smiled at his mother. "All she said was that she wanted me to take care of it. And, then she gave me all of this. I've got my own place now. And...A business. A chicken restaurant of all things." Kenji sighed heavily and fell over onto his side. "I'm not entirely why I agreed to this. Maybe it was the thing she said about dad."

Yoruichi debated on asking him what that thing she said about Kisuke was, but she decided to leave it be. Kenji needed secrets of his own and this was one he could keep for himself. That private conversation between him and Koi. She hummed in understanding, her whiskers twitching. "Well, whatever reason it was, I'm glad you said yes. As sad as I'll be to see you move out, I'm proud of you for taking this next step towards finding yourself. And you must be pretty excited judging by the way you were dancing around when I came in."
When Kenji coughed in embarrassment and turned his head, she laughed. "In any case, I'm excited to see what you do with the place. You cleaned up the candy shop nicely, so I know you'll do even better with this place. I'm proud of you, Kenji. Not just for who you will become in the future, but for who you are already. You're an Urahara and a Shihoin, but more than that, you are our son. You'll do great things no matter what you decide to do or who you decide to become. Not because of the power of the names, but for who you are as a person. Don't ever forget that."

Kenji smiled. They've always been an odd pairing - the Shihoin and the Urahara. The unlikely pair would fall in love and have him...Kenji. A kid so filled with dread of not living up to his name, that he failed to realize his own potential. He would be forever grateful to Koi for giving him the opportunity to stand on his own. She gave him a ton of responsibility in the process. But, he was still grateful.
"Let's go home..." Kenji sat up and looked at him mom. "I want to tell dad. Kita too."
Kenji rose to his feet and looked around. He tossed the keys in the air then caught them. This was good. He had his own place. A job. A lab. A place to train...This was really good.
END RP “A Lingering Silence”
