Urahara's Project

44: That Special Place

Urahara: over there.

They walked towards the old torn and tattered house.

She turned around " this thing you placed inside our soul. It's so deep and annoying I've told izana to take out so many times. But she refused to. Said it may be necessary."

Urahara: it is kind of. I get worried.

Doa : at least you're still considered a good father from this perspective while not considering the past acts you've done to her that has harmed her.

Urahara didn't speak as he was guilty " I'll... Leave you guys to talk alone. Let's go. Hirako. "

Hirako; eh? But we just found her.

Urahara: let's go. She led us here. She must only want to talk to histugaya taichou.

Hirako: is that so?

Doa: so you remember. Urahara kisuke. What this place is.

Urahara: I do...

Flashback~

Izana was still a kid then " urahara-san. Look at this place. It's great. "

Urahara: it's a torn and tattered house.

She climbed onto the platform and went in. He followed " be careful of the floors sinking in. "

Izana: it's so big. Urahara-san. This place is wonderful.

Urahara: why?

Izana: imagine we have other people as our family members? I mean... Not family... People who can stay with us!! Like shinji-san. Hiyori-san. And all the others. Then we can use this big big house!! Together with Yoruichi-san and tessai-san.

Urahara: izana...

Izana: gomen... Did I become too excited?

He carries her up to his chest " I'll build one as big as this. And make it a candy shop. Then you can eat all the candies you want. How about that?"

Izana: I want to do experiments with urahara-san instead.

He laughed " I see. When you're older ok?"

Izana: really?

Urahara: um.

End of flashback~

Urahara: let's leave. Hirako.

Hirako: oh... Ok.

Toshiro: what do you want? Doa. Return izana back.

Doa: I... Have always disliked urahara kisuke. I can't tell what he's thinking. Sometimes I'm afraid he'll throw izana away. Disown is fine, since he did that before. But.... If he throws her away, my izana will break.

Toshiro: what are you trying to say?

Doa: will you break my izana?

Toshiro: I won't. I love her.

Doa: I know I can't kill you. Because if I try, izana will force me back using her subconscious. That's how important you are to her now.

Toshiro: you locked izana by purpose.

Doa: didn't have to. We had a promise. She was really tired after the experiments that's all. I just... Had a different agenda this time.

Toshiro: your agenda is...

Doa: finding out if you'll break my izana.

Toshiro: you really treat her preciously.

Doa: Arigato. So... Hinamori and izana. Who will you choose?

Toshiro: hinamori is family. You can't expect me to abandon her.

Doa: I see. Then I can't return izana back. I have to return her to this body...  But I don't have to return her memories. She won't be your izana.

Toshiro: what are you trying to do?!

Doa: all of her memories of you. I'll just lock them up. Memories are what make someone. Is it not? Memories are what make your love strong. Is it not?

Toshiro:.... Then I'll just make her fall in love with me again.

Doa: that persistence... You must choose her?

Toshiro: I only love her . I don't know how I will choose if they came into harm in the same time. But I know... I love her. My heart would break to know she doesn't remember me. But I wouldn't just let go like that. She's still eventually her. Like you said, memories are what make our love strong. You make her forget. But I... Still remember. You can make her stop loving me. You can't stop me from loving her.

Doa: unusual. For someone like you to say such... Corny things.

Toshiro: izana has always been saying that I'm nice to her. It won't be bad for me to say something corny once for her.

" I see... " And with that sentence... She faints.
