"No." Kisuke continued to pet Kon. "Shhh...Shh... Listen, Kenji."
Kenji raised a brow at the sight of the two Mod Souls. "Yeah?"
"You shouldn't doubt yourself so much. As abrasive as he is, Kon is correct."
"I didn't say anything!!"
"You are stronger than you think. Have a bit more confidence. You are an Urahara after all." Kisuke smiled wide.

Kenji gave a firm nod. The imposter and puppet were right. But, what they had said were no different than what his actual father had said to him. "I think I can do that..." He looked up to find the clone of his father smiling back at him. "So, I was pretty serious about what I said about reopening the shop. But, we need to get it cleaned up first. So how about it? Let's get this place nice and tidy, yeah?"Kisuke nodded with a wide smile. "Well now, son. You'll have to do it on your own.""Hey!" shouted Kenji. "I'm not your kid!""But, I am your father!" he said sternly before laughing. "No! You're not! I can tell by the stripes on your stupid hat! They've always been wrong. You're not fooling anyone. Now, grab a box or the broom and lets get cleaning!" Kenji clapped. "Lets do it!" The clone of Kisuke dropped Kon and laughed as he went back to moving boxes. He took direction from Kenji and occasionally kicked the lion doll across the room. By the end of the night, they had cleaned up half the shop and made plans to continue in the morning.END RP "Wisteria Phantom"

Bleach Unrated: REBOOTEDCurrent Arc: RejectionEpisode 425 "A Simple Invitation": It was the day after deciding to reopen the shop, and Kenji was hard at work continuing the clean up. He put the clone of his father, Clone Kisu he called him, in charge of ordering new inventory. The clone was as organized and tedious as his father. He ordered the usual fair - hard candies, fruit chews and caramels...He also ordered gums, and candy bars and ice creams. Kenji told him to ordered new stuff the kids would like. So, Clone Kisu ordered a boba tea station and some quick ramen.
"I feel like this is turning into a mini convenience store." he laughed as he sat on top a couple of stacked boxes. "Hey, Clone Kisu, you think we should tell dad or sort of let it be a surprise?""You don't really have an inside voice. So, I am sure he knows.""Well...Ok then..." Kenji rubbed the back of his head. "Maybe I can surprise him with something else then." Kenji wiped the sweat from his brow on his forearm and stood to his feet. "Alright...Back to work." |

"So, you've got yourself a project I see. Good for you."
Toshiro appeared behind Kenji, leaning against one of the counters, his arms crossed as he looked around the dilapidated, but slowly improving shopfront of the Urahara residence. He had a gigai on and was dressed in a pair of black pants, a white, collared button up shirt, a navy blue cardigan with a grey scarf around his neck and suede shoes.
"I'm suprised the coons didn't move in and take over this place with all the old candy and snacks left here." He lifted off the counter and checked the bottom of his shoes. "You remembered to spray for bugs, right?"

Kenji tried hard to hide his smile as he looked to the Captain. He looked like the old man he often sounds like. "Yes sir. No bugs to tarnish those lovely loafers of yours." He shook his head. "What brings you to the shop, Captain? Dad's inside talking with Tessai and mom" Kenji pointed toward the door to the house.
Toshiro scowled at the young Urahara. He tapped the sole of his shoe on the floor. "They're chukkas, not loafers." At least that's what Ashimitsu had told him when he gave them to him. He wasn't entirely sure what the difference was, but apparently they were popular amongst human men. Toshiro shook his head at Kenji. "I'm not here for the elder Urahara. I'm here for you."
Kenji's breakdown at the Captain's meeting flashed in his mind. He dropped the box he was carrying. "I...I didn't mean it. I really didn't. I was just overwhelmed! That's all!"

Toshiro managed to catch the box before it hit the floor, lifting it up and setting it on the counter behind him. "Relax, Kenji. I'm not here because of that." He placed a hand on the boy's shoulder. "I'm here because it was suggested to me that you could use some mentorship. You're already way more powerful than you think you are, but it's obvious that you feel in over your head with where you are in your training."
He pushed his hands into his pockets and shrugged. "I'm not the greatest teacher alive or anything, but if you'd like a mentor--someone other than blood family--then you're welcome to come by Tenth Division and train with us. With me not having Hyorinmaru at the moment, I could use some brushing up myself. And if Tenth isn't a good fit, then we'll find you somewhere that is. But it's your choice."

"O-...Oh...Thank you, Captain." Kenji smiled nervously. He wrung his hands together has he bowed his head. "I appreciate it. But, you didn't have to come all the way to Karakura to tell me that." The truth was, Kenji was actually glad that he did. He had been meaning to talk to the Captain about what happened during the meeting. He felt he owed Toshiro and the Commander an apology.
"I...um...I am sorry for what happened. I was feeling very overwhelmed with everything. And, I didn't quite know how to tell you that I didn't think I could do it. I felt like a disappointment to my dad. I didn't want to add anyone else to that list."

Toshiro stared at the boy for a moment then sighed, his shoulders sagging. He shook his head then lifted his hand above Kenji's head, as if he was going to pat him on the head. Instead he formed a knife with his hand and brought it down on top of Kenji's head, giving him a firm chop. "Don't apologize for a situation that I myself put you into. I was reckless and hasty with my decisions and I asked something of you that you weren't ready for. And not because you're weak."
He pointed at Kenji and pushed his finger into his chest. "You'll earn your place in that room one day, if that's what you want. And when and if that day comes, you'll walk in there with pride and confidence. If Ashimitsu can do it--one of the most hard headed, reckless, hot tempered men I've ever met--then you can too. It's not just about whether you're strong enough physically, it's about mental and emotional strength. All of us captains had to take that journey to get there. You are no different."

Kenji nodded and rubbed the top of his head with one hand and his chest with the other. "I get it. I get it. It weird how everyone's on this let's save Kenji sort of deal. I'm okay guys, really..." He was lying. He wasn't okay. His bouts of anxiety kept him awake at night. And, during the day he was more worried about doing something to disappoint his father. But, he had been hiding it well the last couple of days.
"I...uh...I'm going to open the shop back up. I'm sure the neighborhood's missed it. And, I bet dad's eager to see it busy again. Clone Kisu is anyway..."

Toshiro stared at Kenji for a moment. He knew Kenji was lying. There was no way he wasn't. He turned and placed his hand on top of the box Kenji had been carrying. "I'm sure your father will appreciate it. And I'm also sure that he just wants you to be happy and at peace. We all deserve peace."
He paused for a second before continuing. "Just a suggestion... maybe it wouldn't hurt to see that doctor your sister is seeing. Even if it's just to have a place to get all your feelings out. Trust me, I know a thing or two about not expressing feelings. Take it from me. However you can get it out in whatever way feels comfortable for you is going to be for the best."

Kenji shook his head. "One...I wouldn't go to the Soul Society to see a therapist. And, considering Kita plays a role in how I'm feeling, I wouldn't go see the same doctor treating her." He shrugged. "i'll work on it."
As he turned to shelve a the box he was carrying, he turned back around to face Toshiro. "I don't come here to give me some weird pep talk. Because I'll tell you the same as I've been telling the others...Leave it alone."

Toshiro saw a lot of himself in Kenji. Way more than he was willing to admit. He gave a one shoulder shrug. "It's your choice ultimately. And pep talks only go so far. But don't think that your friends and family will just leave you to struggle on your own until you figure out what it is that's bothering you and what you want for yourself. Believe me, it's irritating as hell sometimes. I get it. But people bug us because they care."
Toshiro walked towards the front door of the shop, placing a hand on the door. "But my offer to train in Tenth Division still stands. What you do with that offer is your choice. Just promise me you won't let things fester until they get out of hand." He gave Kenji a glance over his shoulder. "And this shop better have amanatto and watermelon the next time I come here."

"I doubt Clone Kisu ordered it. But I'll see what I can do, Captain." Kenji chuckled. "Hey....Thanks..." Toshiro gave one last nod before leaving the shop. He returned to his cleaning. "Watermelon..." he chuckled. "You can watermelon anywhere...""I want watermelon~!" Kisuke appeared behind the counter, wiggling in excited. "Get back to work, you dingus!!!" Kenji shouted shaking a fist at Clone Kisu. "And then watermelon?"Kenji nodded with a laugh. "And then watermelon..."END RP "In the Loop"

Bleach Unrated: REBOOTEDCurrent Arc: The ChaosEpisode 517 "A Tall Order": (continued) “My lab, Urahara,” Mayuri hissed, his voice low and venomous. “Don’t act as if you did not know it was taken—by the Espada. They destroyed the defenses I painstakingly built, the research that was centuries in the making. They took everything.”Kisuke raised an eyebrow, momentarily lowering his fan. “The Espada? Quite bold of them. But even more bold of you to come to me for help.”Mayuri’s eyes flashed dangerously. “This is not about asking for help, Urahara. This is about claiming what is rightfully mine.”Kisuke sighed theatrically, tapping his fan against his chin. “Ah, I see. You want me to retrieve your lab for you. That’s a tall order, considering the Espada likely have it well-guarded.”“No,” Mayuri said sharply, “you misunderstand me. I have no need for ‘your’ clumsy methods.” He stepped forward, his posture stiff with contempt. “I require access to the Godly Gate—the one the Goddess controls.” |

Kisuke’s expression didn’t change, but there was a subtle shift in the atmosphere. The casual ease with which he had been conducting the conversation grew taut, and his fan stopped moving.
“The Godly Gate?” Kisuke said, voice steady but probing. “You’re talking about Kita.”
“Yes,” Mayuri confirmed. “The Goddess of Rebirth. The one whose power can manipulate time and space, whose very existence is woven into the fabric of the universe itself. She can retrieve my lab—bring it back to the Soul Society. Not just the remnants of it, but the entirety, as if it were never taken in the first place.”
Kisuke regarded him quietly, eyes narrowing beneath the brim of his hat. He took a few steps forward, folding the fan and tucking it into his sleeve. “And why exactly do you think she’d agree to do that?”
