The Change

Outside of the study chamber, Urahara who's sitting in front of the TV while watching suddenly felt the gloomy aura coming from nowhere.

He looks around to check where the depressing aura is coming from, but he can't find the source until he discovers the secret door to the Study Chamber is leaking a dense smoke of depressing aura.

"What happened down there?" Urahara opens the door and sees that the whole Study Chamber is filled with grey aura while the whole palace becomes a funeral place.

He hurriedly ran where he left Yoruichi and Xin and saw Yoruichi crying while hugging Xin. He can see that Xin is crying with blood.

"This is the symptoms of excessive depression, what did he experience that even from this kind of sadness makes him expressionless," Urahara murmurs.

The suffocating aura coming from him makes Urahara hard to move forward, it's so depressing that it will make any normal being become crazy.

"Hey Yoruichi, are you fine?" he called.

Yoruichi only trembles while holding Xin in her knees.

Urioahra helpless sign, he thought.' This is the reason why I did not want to get a family, this only makes you weaker until you realize that the thing you protect and your conviction already change.'

He already warns Yoruichi not to get close to that kid, because he felt something from that kid attracts people, but she did not listen to him and went undercover in that kid's house.

He doesn't know what happens to those 2 years of her being undercover, but it seems that Xin is caring to animals too.

Looking at the smog-like aura inside of the Study Chamber makes Urahara feel nervous, this thing is like a virus that will cause great catastrophe in this world.

He needs to seal it first until the kid awakens, then runs and weakens his store personnel to help him with this problem.

"What is happening here, where this gloomy aura is coming from!" Tessai hurry said.

Tessai Tsukabishi is an employee of Urahara Shop and a childhood friend of Kisuke Urahara and Yoruichi Shihōin. One hundred years ago, he was the Captain of the Kidō Corps in Soul Society.

"No time to explain, hurry. I want you to seal this aura coming outside!!" Urahara said, seeing the aura already seeping out from his shop.

Tessai palms up to the grey aura then closes his hand into a fist and calls forth yellow energy, taking the form of a very thick rope, which binds the whole shop with a yellow energy rope.

"Way of Binding #63. Sajō Sabaku"

"I think that's enough," Tessai said.

"No you're not, look carefully," Urahara seriously said.

He looks and sees the grey energy seeping true through the gap of the Kido, its super-fast like leaking water from an overflowing tank of water.

"Way of Binding #99, Part 2. Bankin"

Tessai punches his fist into the ground and starts the incantation for the binding spell to hold the gloomy aura from coming out.

"Prologue - Halting Wraps"

White energy commits from the ground suddenly transformed into a fabric and wrapt the upper part of the shop.

"Refrain - Serial Hundred Bolts"

Then another white fabric comes out and wrapt the middle part of the hope making the leaks stop to come out.

"Finale - Fully Prohibited Great Seal"

And the last part is for the lower part and a gigantic metallic cube appears in the top of the shop not to smash it but to seal the hole of the Study Chamber.

"Owner, do you want me to seal it now?" Tessai said.

'Let's wait for them, I will help you if something dangerous happens,' Urahara said, still waiting for the kid to awake or for Yoruichi to come out.

Meanwhile doe below the Urahara Shop, inside of the Study Chamber, Yoruichi who crying while holding Xin's body doesn't know what to do, she don't know any sealing and healing spell to help him.

The only thing he can do is to wait for him to awake on his own or to wait until he fails the test. After all, the entity giving the test to Xin is not evil.

Then suddenly Xin's white silver-haired grow longer and turn to grey color, Yoruichi takes back, then an unknown life signature comes out from Xin making her take distance.

Slowly, Xin's eyes open, his red ruby-like eyes change to a black grey color that contains endless sadness.

"Who are you!," Yoruichi grabs the handle of her Zanpakuto and is ready to battle if this thing is going to hurt XIn.

"Young Lady, don't be nervous, I'm just Master servant i come out to check if something wrong in Master's body, and it seems that you took care Master body while he's on his test,"

"Are you like the guys with red-haired color?" Yoruichi asked.

Grey nodded," Yes, that's right, right now, Master is about to finish the test, i don't know what kind of change will cause my test but im sure that Master will be more open-minded about the things around him."

"What do you mean?" She confusedly asked.

"Let's make this simple, if your closest friend or love once dies in front of you and experiences intense sadness and grief, what do you think will happen if you suddenly awake knowing everything you experience is just a dream?"

"Of course, I will cherish them more than what I usually do," Yoruichi said.

"That's right, Master is easy going person, he cares everything around him for classmates, friends, seedlings, and family, if he experiences that kind of grief even it's just a test, he will sure change maybe he will become overprotective or easy to become close,"

"Just like you, you hide your true form from Master but Master accept it even he know that your spying at him, but still he treats you as a family member not just an ordinary cat,"

"From this change, Master for sure will going to become overprotective or even become more concert to you and your activity whenever you go out in the morning,"

"Of course, this overprotective nature will be change depends on Master way of thinking after this test, maybe he will become overprotective or maybe he will become more open for every angle one of you who near him,"

Grey then notice the change in his body then said," Okay, times up, Master is about to get out from his test, please take care of my Master body for him,"

He then lies down in the gourd again then slowly closes his eyes as he closes his eyes, his appearance changes back to Xin's original appearance.

Yoruichi walks closer and looks at Xin then murmurs,' Not talkative? He is more like a nanny or even an overprotective guardian of Xin.'
