It took some time for Kisuke to calm Irina down, and that night she slept peacefully forgetting about Xenovia's issue and Medusa's move after Kisuke's provocations and getting tired of reacting to his antics.
The next morning, Irina left after eating her breakfast, swearing that she would be coming back and Kisuke asking for souvenirs.
After staying a night in Kisuke's place, Irina calmed down a lot and is now capable of thinking clearly so she once again recalled Xenovia's conversion, 'No matter how weird her faith is, she shouldn't have easily discarded her beliefs... Someone or something forced her to accept Rias Gremory's offer and the only thing major that happened at that timeframe is that night where Kokabiel apparently died... What happened when I was unconscious? I'm also pretty sure that Xenovia is hiding something based on how she acted...' Irina went back to the Vatican with those in mind.
Just before lunch, Sakura and Yoruichi got home via taxi and Kisuke is already expecting the two of them, "Welcome back~."
Sakura went down of the car and happily greeted Kisuke, "We're back~!" Sakura missed his only son and hugged him tightly, "Did you miss me?"
"Of course. I missed my dear my mom and her cooking~." Kisuke chuckled and returned her hugged.
"Hooh~. Do you want me to cook lunch for you? Even though I just arrive, I'm not tired yet." Sakura separated from his son and pinched his cheek playfully.
"Such a wonderful proposition but I want to introduce someone to you. She's currently cooking for lunch and we're already expecting you." Kisuke just let her be. Although he feels like she's treating her like a small kid, he doesn't hate that at all.
Sakura eyed him with suspicion, "Hmm... You couldn't have both another daughter-in-law, did you?"
Kisuke thought of Medusa and ended up evading her gaze, "O-of course not. Aha-haha..." While sweating a bit, Kisuke thought, 'Does a maid counts?'
Sakura sighed loudly, "You really did it? Although I'm fine with you accepting others as long as Yoruichi allows it, at that time before you left, when I said that you could bring a daughter-in-law, I'm mostly joking you know. And you even asked her to cook lunch. Is this trying to get into my good side?"
"No way~. She has a husband after all." Kisuke blurted without much thinking. Due to that Sakura ended up misunderstanding his words.
The atmosphere around Sakura suddenly turned cold and Kisuke noticed it immediately. That's is when he realized his mistake of not explaining properly. But before he could further explain, Sakura grabbed his head with an iron grip and raised him in the air while glaring at him, "Oi, you sh*tty brat... What was that again? She has a husband? You touched someone with a significant other? Or is she divorced or her husband is resting in peace? Depending on your answer, I might have to crush your skull."
Yoruichi, who is currently unloading Sakura's luggage from the trunk of the car and watching the scene unfold, wanted to laugh, 'Go mom~! Make him bleed!' She cheered internally.
It's been a while since Kisuke last saw her mother became angry. Although all of those times were resolved with a proper explanation from Kisuke, it's still a bit scary for him, "Wait! Mom, you misunderstand!"
Sakura paused for a moment before saying, "...I'm listening."
'I would really appreciate it if you could put me down though.' Kisuke wanted to say but he knew he would only be wasting his breath unless he directly explains the whole situation, "I want to introduce you 4 people and the 3 of them are a family consisting of parents and a kid. The one currently cooking is the mother!"
Sakura slowly put him down and took a deep breath before expelling it. She then suddenly looked back to Kisuke with a big smile, "What? Is that so? You should have explained it earlier. Geez, don't make your mom worry too much about you."
Her cold atmosphere instantly melted like it was all a lie but Kisuke knew how serious she is, 'I was about to, but your iron claw beat me to it.' Kisuke wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and saw that Yoruichi is snickering at them, "You could have explained it to mom though."
"No way~. Such a juicy scene. Why would I interrupt it?" Yoruichi chuckled, "And mom, you could have poked a few holes in his body and he'll be fine a minute later."
"Although that is true... I don't want new holes in my body, especially holes big enough for blood to spurt out." Kisuke approached her and gave her a light peck on her lips, "But still, welcome back."
"Umu. I expect my reward later." Yoruichi happily hugged him.
"Ehem... You two can continue flirting later. I want to meet these people first, and I'm hungry." Sakura feigns a cough to wake them up from their own world.
The three of them hurriedly unload the rest of the luggage and thanked the driver. And the first one to enter the house is Yoruichi, followed by Sakura and Kisuke.
From inside the house, Claire knew that Yoruichi will be coming back but didn't know anything about Sakura. She has been waiting near the entrance peeking at the door from time to time. When she saw Yoruichi entered through the door, she immediately bolted towards her with a large grin on her face, "Yoruichi-neesama!" She then proceeds to hug her waist.
"Oh, you seem energetic, Claire. That's good." Yoruichi couldn't help but smile at the kid and patted her head. Claire is enjoying Yoruichi's pat when she suddenly noticed a stranger looking at her curiously.
"Hih!" Claire ended up getting startled and ran back towards the leaving room like a scared rabbit and hid behind her father's back.
"What a cute kid," Sakura commented. She curious about the family of three that Kisuke wanted to introduce to her but she's more interested in the fourth person because this person is most likely her 'daughter-in-law' if she didn't guess Kisuke's reaction earlier wrong.
The three of them reached the leaving room and three people were waiting for them, Masaomi, who is already standing up waiting for them, Claire who is timidly hiding behind him, peeking from time to time, and Medusa who kept fidgeting around nervously thinking of how to greet her 'mother-in-law'.
The first one to step forward is Masaomi, "Nice to meet you, Sakura-san. I'm Takuma Seo and this is my daughter Claire. I'm sorry for my daughter's attitude. She's always been scared of strangers."
Sakura bowed slightly, "Nice to meet you too, I'm Sakura Urahara. Your daughter is cute so it's fine." Sakura smiled and waved towards Claire.
It's Medusa's turn to introduce herself but she still hasn't thought of a good way. She wanted to tell Kisuke's mother that she has intentions to pursue her son but didn't know how to go with it.
While Medusa is hesitating, Cleria came out of the kitchen, "Oh, you're here. Nice to meet you, Sakura-san. I'm Kyoko Seo, I hope... we..." Cleria is happily introducing herself to Sakura but looking at her face for more than a few seconds, a certain person flashed in her mind. A person that disappeared long ago. Her precious little sister, "...Sa... Sarah?"
