Volume 2 Chapter 45 - The Guests

'What is the Sitri Princess doing here!?'

Sona saw Sakura entered the living room and greeted her, "Good evening, Ma'am. Excuse me for my intrusion. I am Souna Sh*tori, the Student Council President of the Kuoh Academy." She bowed gracefully to Kisuke's mother.

It took Sakura a few seconds to respond as she didn't what was happening, "Ah… Good evening and welcome to our humble place. My name is Sakura Urahara, Kisuke's mother. May I know the reason for your visit?"

"Please don't be too formal with me, I'm here for my personal business. I have an appointment with your son for this afternoon and he told me that Toujou-san here can lead me here." Sona reassured Sakura but she is confused about why she is so nervous. After giving her a second look, she felt a little familiar to Sona, but can't remember where she had seen her.

"Sure, um, I'm sorry, but who are you?" Sakura directed this question to the third person in the room… fidgetting.

"Uhm, Good evening, Ma'am. My name is Aika Kiryuu, Ura- Kisuke-kun's classmate, I also have some business with him. Please excuse me for my intrusion!" Aika, who arrived with Sona and Koneko because she was dragged along by the latter flusteredly greeted Sakura.

"Welcome to you too, please take a seat, both of you. I'll prepare dinner for all of us."

"Thank you for your offer, but it's late so I have to go. I don't want to intrude too much." Sona bowed again getting ready to leave.

"Now now, Kaichou. Since you're already here, please join us for dinner. You too, Aika-chan." Kisuke's voice resounded behind Sakura. Unbeknownst to them, Kisuke is watching their interaction from the moment his mother entered the house. He also noticed Sakura's unnatural behavior but didn't say anything. If her mother didn't want to reveal anything, then he won't ever force her. Kisuke thinks that she probably already has some inkling that her son is not a normal human from the way she looks at him from time to time.

"Kisuke! Where have you been? It's not good to make guests wait!" Sakura turned around and immediately berated her son.

"I'm truly sorry. I had something to do this afternoon but I didn't think it would hold me up for too long." Kisuke faced Sona and Aika and apologized sincerely, "Although, I didn't know Aika-chan would also be here. What a pleasant surprise." He sent a grin to Aika who didn't know what to do.

"Ugh… Toujou-san dragged me here and I also want to get over it fast." Aika stopped fidgeting and stared at Kisuke liked he owes her something.

"Hahaha, is that so. Then you two sit down first. I going to help mom make dinner." Kisuke offered the two a seat.

"No. You entertain your guest and I'll prepare the dinner with Koneko-chan." Sakura disagreed with Kisuke's words, "Enjoy your time. I going up to change first before I cook dinner. Koneko-chan, please prepare the veggies in the fridge for the time being." She then went up leaving the four in the living room.

Koneko stood up and went to the kitchen to do Sakura's instructions. She already helped out multiple times and even learned how to cook some dishes all by herself, a skill she didn't imagine that she would have.

Left alone, Kisuke is feeling completely fine, but the two bespectacled beauties are feeling some awkwardness. Sona and Aika couldn't exactly refuse Sakura's invitation if she insisted so much. Aika, in particular, is feeling quite nervous as this is her first time coming to the house of a boy of her age. She always teases other girls about going to their crushes houses but she didn't know that it would be this nervewracking, 'Is it supposed to be this hard? I always imagine myself coming to a boy's house or even room, but this feeling is a lot different from what I thought.'

Sona, on the other hand, thought that Koneko really became part of their family in just a week of staying here. Devils of high rankings are prideful individuals and being in one such household, you need to hold some formalities even with your family members. Koneko came from a small family before the tragic past befalls onto her. She was adopted by the Gremory Household and had a good upbringing. But maybe, all this time, she is craving for a familial love that she lost. Even now, she can see Koneko act more unreserve compared to all those years that she is with Rias and other peerage members, 'If Rias and her family were to see this, they probably feel shocked and jealous. This Kisuke Urahara is really something else.' She smiled lightly as she thought of this.

"What shall we do while we wait for dinner?" Kisuke sat down on the couch opposite them, "Movie? Game?"

"I'm going to finish some of my work for the Student Council." Sona fixed her glasses and took out her laptop and some files from her bag.

"Do you even rest?" Kisuke's mouth was twitching at this sight of this overly hardworking girl. Although if Yoruichi is here, she would probably retort and say, "You don't have the right to say that! You're even worse than her if you're too focused!"

"Let me help then." Kisuke offered a helping hand and Aika just couldn't sit still, "I'll also help."

"Thank you, but these files would only take 15 minutes to finish. I already finished the majority of them while waiting for you." Sona replied while she started writing a bunch of notes on the paper, and from the looks of it, 15 minutes is really enough for her.

"Then let reduce that to 10 minutes. I and Aika could help you arrange a few things to make it easier for you." Kisuke suggested and Sona didn't reject for the second time and just thanked them for their help.

The three didn't say anything unrelated to what they were doing and just faithfully do the job. After 10 minutes or so, they did finish everything and Sona started packing everything back to her bag. It'll take some more time for the dinner to get ready and they already have nothing to do. Kisuke used this chance to let Aika relax more by talking about random things and he was successful as Aika is back to her usual smug self, although she holds back because of Sona's presence. Sona also enjoys talking about random stuff and especially about girly stuff with Aika as she didn't have many chances of doing so due to her position and heritage. Even though the two of them absolutely disqualifies as 'modern teenage girls' in terms of knowledge, they still enjoyed each other's company.

Kisuke, who is with them, also pitch some of his idea's from time to time making the two glasses girls thought, 'Why does this guy know so much about this?'

Although this enjoyable and relaxing time didn't last long as Kisuke felt a presence that disrupted his train of thought. It is the same presence that both Kisuke and Yoruichi dub as 'The Last Boss'. This time, however, it didn't go away and instead, it locked on its attention to Kisuke and everyone in the house. It didn't even try to hide its gaze. Kisuke smile cramped and this was noticed by the two beside him as he stopped in the middle of saying something, "What happened?" Sona furrowed her eyebrows.

Kisuke didn't answer her and fell into deep contemplation with a very serious look on his face, 'What is it doing here? And why is it intently staring at this direction? Does it want something? I can't fee; any hostility, but that could change anytime. For now, I should slowly activate the teleportation array placed on this house to get everyone into safety just in case. Yoruichi is also rushing here and will arrive in a few seconds. I should wait for her first before I decide my next step.'

Indeed, after a few seconds, Yoruichi in her cat form jumped in from the window landing on the center table startling the two girls at her sudden appearance. She looked at Kisuke's serious expression and turned her attention to the two girls with him with still astounded expression. Aika especially is feeling excited, she likes cuddling cats ever since she was a kid and one of her small joys as she grows up, "Is this your cat? What a beautiful black fur, can I pet it?"

Sona, on the other hand, felt incredulous as her sight intersects with the cat, 'Am I just seeing things? Why do this cat's eyes give me pressure?'

Yoruichi then looked back to Kisuke who is contemplating, "What's the plan?" She said in her distinct male voice while she is in her cat form.

Both of the bespectacled beauties' expression froze.

"It spoke!!!" Aika jumped into Kisuke's arms unconsciously and shouted horrifyingly.
