With the Captains suffering casualties and heavy injuries on their side, all hope seemed to be lost... until Shinji Hirako appeared, along with the rest of the former Shinigami. Though the aid of the Vizards certainly helped to draw the battle in their favor, it seemed Aizen's power alone proved too much for them.
"Ara...Ara!" Akesato threw her head back and laughed, but was cut off by a loud hiccup. "That critter of yours is hi-larious!" She placed her elbows on the table, resting her chin in her palms. Her sake cup was empty yet again so it left her little to do. Which is why this little wager of his was quite appealing to the vixen. "Sounds like a win-win situation to me, I accept your wager Urahara-han." She giggled, leaning forward so she could whisper what she was about to say next. "I'll show you my boobs later if ya want," She smiled, giving him a cute little wink. "Soooo," She drawled out, pretending as though she had never made that obscene statement. "I'm gonna pick Han, again. Never did have much luck with the even numbers."
Kisuke smiled as he heard Kon moan from the other room. "Ya, Kon's alright." Ake leaned in and whispered in Kisukes ear. Kisuke blushed and smiled after the comment. "Haha, maybe this candy shop owner is going to have a good night!" Uh oh.....maybe I gave her a little too much sake. I have to be careful, if she wins the round and gets that sake it might put her over. "Okay, here we go!"
Kisuke had a serious look on his face, he knew what was on the line. He looked up and smiled at Ake before lifting the bowl. The dice read two and four, a total of six. "Haha, I'm sorry but its Cho, no sake for you. Looks like you're going to owe me a dinner." Phew.....that was close. "Lets put a little bit more on this next wager. You said you wanted one of my world famous gigai, if you win this one you get one, free of charge. If I win this one, you buy one of my gigai at triple the price!" Kisuke scooped up the dice and repeated the shaking motion, finishing by slamming it down. "So, cho or han?"
"Mouuuuu! You drive a hard bargain, Urahara-han!" Akesato whined, massaging her temples with her index fingers. She really wasn't expecting to lose that last round. Damnit! If only he hadn't seen through her loaded dice trick. At any rate, she supposed she hadn't really lost. Now she was given the opportunity to spend more time with the amusing shop keeper. Well, assuming he didn't mind dining on cold soba noodles and stale onigiri which is exactly what they'd end up eating if she lost this next round! But she wanted to win one of those gigais so badly she just couldn't resist. "Han."
"Han again? Well good luck, those gigai I make are quite expensive." Kisuke lifted the bowl slowly. A three was revealed first and Kisuke held the bowl still for a moment to add to the suspense. "Here we go!" Kisuke ripped the bowl away to reveal another three! A total of six. "Oh, I'm sorry Ake, but thats one triple price gigai headed your way." Kisuke was slightly grinning at the news. "Want to go double or nothing? If I win you pay six times the normal price, but if you win you pay nothing. You're bound to win eventually."
"Daaaaaaaaaamnit!" Akesato groaned, slapping her forehead in exasperation. This really wasn't her lucky day, to lose twice in a row! Of course, now she was more suspicious than ever of the shop keeper and his green dice. It seemed that he was determined to take her to the cleaners, so to speak. "I don't suppose you accept other forms of payment?" She deadpanned. It was worth a try at least, it's not like she hadn't done that type of thing for less than the cost of a gigai. "Guess I'll take my chances..." She muttered, thinking that MAYBE this wasn't the smartest choice but then again, Akesato was never one for thinking rationally. "And after I win, I wanna talk to you bout maybe gettin' my hands on some explosives..." She trailed off, not really wanting to go into further detail. There were some things that were best left unsaid. Sensing it was time for a subject change, Akesato decided to get back to the game at hand. "Course you know I'm gonna pick han again."
Kisuke grinned as he flipped the bowl revealing a five and a one. "A total of six! You lose again, man I'm so damn lucky today! A beautiful woman and my lucky dice. Now you owe me twice as much for the gigai. But we can talk about that later." Kisuke seemed to get a little more serious. "Now tell me, what type of explosives are you looking for?"
"Akeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!" Kon came flying back into the room and jumped up onto Ake's shoulder. "Hes a cheat Ake! He uses his----" A clog whipped by Ake's head striking Kon square in the face sending him flipping backwards. Kisuke smiled nervously. "Heh, that Kon is really something else, huh?"
Akesato narrowed her eyes at Kon's accusation (which was not so suprisingly interrupted by Urahara). Just as she suspected, there was something fishy about this Cho-Han game. Unfortunately, she couldn't exactly pinpoint what it was so she kept her mouth shut. Afterall, Urahara had something she needed. Well, two things actually.
"Somethin' easy to conceal but powerful enough to blow a buildin' to smithereens." She said this rather casually, as if she were discussing the weather.
Kisuke felt a rush of wind whirl around him as some unknown force assaulted him. It was over as quickly as it began. Kisuke was stunned, he had no idea what hit him, but whatever it was, it cared only for materialistic items. Kisuke now sat completely naked. . . "Uraharaaaaa! YOU'RE NAKED!" Kisuke quickly covered up by placing the bowl over his genitals.
"Please excuse me for a second." Kisuke got up and bolted out of the room and disappeared. When he reappeared he was fully clothed with a new hat, pair of clogs, fan, and even what seemed to be a spare benihime. What other tricks did this candy store owner have up his sleeve?
"That was weird......well lets get back to business. I think I might have something that fits your description. Its a high powered explosive I've been working on. First you force some of your reiatsu into it. It then greatly amplifies the reiatsu before releasing it in a massive explosion." Kisuke smirked. "And thats not all..........it comes in the form...........of this cute pink handbag!" Kusuke comically showed off the pink purse. "So does this fit your description?"
"Nice ass, darlin'! Akesato snickered, watching the Shop keeper scramble out of the room naked(?!) and then returning fully clothed. Well, that was weird, but enjoyable!
"That'll do nicely, Urahara-han." Akesato took the pink handbag and then brought out her own coin purse and tossed it on the table. She let out a dejected sigh. There goes a whole month's salary in one fell swoop. It would be well worth it though, a small price to pay...for revenge. "That oughta cover the cost of the gigai and the explosives."
Tucking the pink purse into her uniform, the busty shinigami stood up and tied her sash back. There would be no more need for cleavage today. "I'll come back in three days to check on the gigai and buy ya that dinner ya won fair and square." Suddenly, she was struck with a terribly naughty idea, but decided to go through with it since it would be the last opportunity she'd have to commit such a bold act. "Thanks for all your help Urahara Kisuke-han."
There was a noticeable hint of finality in her usual mirthful tone. Still standing at the opposite end of the table, the ex-courtesan bent over slightly, reaching across the table to grab the man by the collar of his jacket in order to yank him upward so that she could express her gratitude by means of a brief yet forceful kiss! Okay, so maybe it was more for her own self indulgence, but she doubted the playful shop keeper would object to the lusty advances of the silver-haired beauty. He was a man, afterall and this would most likely be the last time she crossed paths with Urahara, considering what she was planning to do within the next few hours.
If the cunning ex-captain decided to evade said lip lock, Akesato would just swiftly exit the Urahara Shouten with her dignity surprisingly still in tact.
And if not, she would eagerly kiss him for five torturous seconds, abruptly release him, exiting the shop with a lewd grin on her pretty face, calling out "Ja, ne!*" as she did so.
Yes, today was a good day.
(ooc: Ja,ne=a casual goodbye, kind of like saying Cya! Akesato exits the thread)
The coin purse landed on the table giving off an audible thud. It seemed as though all the money was in there. Kisuke pulled out his fan and put it in front of his face hiding his wide grin. He tilted his hat down slightly so that there was now a shadow covering his eyes.
As Kisuke sat there looking at the coin purse Ake suddenly leaned over the table and grabbed him by the collar. The move took Kisuke by surprise as Ake pulled him towards her. Her soft lips expertly molded themselves around his. Even had Kisuke not wanted the kiss there was little he could do to avoid it, but that wasn't the case. Who could object to something as simple as a kiss from a woman so beautiful? The kiss lasted for five seconds and Ake's warm lips slowly pulled away. For a moment it brought Kisuke happiness, but he began to get a little worried. The way Ake had been acting and the area she came from made Kisuke a little worried about where those lips had been. Had he known her past profession, he may have very well bleached his mouth. He brought his fan up to his face to hide the fact that he was wiping hims mouth.
Ake began to walk towards the door. Kon was standing on a shelf with his lips puckered hoping for a goodbye kiss like the one given to Kisuke. "Come on over and give me a nice wet one!" But Ake moved past him seeming not to hear.
"Leaving so soon? Not even going to tell me what you needed those explosives for huh? And here I thought we were becoming friends." Kisuke gently fanned himself hiding his smirk.
