3 Fateful first meeting

A/N There are a few AU parts, if you're wondering

______________________________

(Kisuke POV)

I look at the small Koi-pond, I created years ago. It started as an experiment. I wanted to breed the koi and see what I could do to them. I was interested in how ridiculous the enhancements would become.

Turns out, very ridiculous. Visenya forbade me from experimenting on the koi like that ever again. She was truly angry for a while. I mean, I just gave them the ability to fly and breathe fire. It's not like I made them as big as a whale ... at least not all of them. 

That's why I have to make do with halfway normal, 120 IQ, koi fish, that I use for getting and sending messages. How boring. 

Life has been treating me well. At least after I took what I wanted and got strong enough to defend what I loved. The world of ASOIAF is a dangerous world filled with intrigue, betrayal and greedy people. Everything aims to become richer, more powerful, more influential and fatter. 

The poor and children who don't have fancy house names are considered trash, while the rich can do almost anything they want. So it's not really much different from my old world. Money makes the world go round and might make right, are the most fitting ways to live ... that's if you're not me. 

.

I was born a 'bastard' son of a Maester and some noble lady from some long gone House in the Riverlands. I have been alive for a long time. I was there when the Andals invaded and thought they could take everything from the First Men. It was actually also that time, when I took the lands surrounding God's Eye under my control, separated it from the Riverlands and made it independent. 

This was not something the Andals liked and we actually fought a lot over the millennia. Very early in my life, I decided to change my appearance. Medicine was my passion and I wanted to look ... good. I will not lie, I was an ugly duckling before I changed that. 

The Essence of the Mad Doctor is a treasure. It allows me to create medicines, potions or anything concerning biology, no matter what it is. So after one day on the streets in some disgusting city, I decided that I would not take it and created my first potion. 

The 'Ideal Self Potion'. It's what I call it now, but truly the potion connects to your mind and then changes your DNA on the atomic level to give you the appearance you wish in the future. The potion has to be taken before the age of five, for it to work perfectly. Otherwise, you will look strange and 'unfinished'. 

So after creating the potion, I took it and waited. When I reached 20 years of age, my appearance had changed. I went from ugly duckling to Kisuke Urahara in 17 years. Quite an accomplishment. I know that Kisuke wasn't that pretty, but I didn't care. Why would I want to have people approaching me because of my looks or because they're in heat due to me smiling at them? I did change the hairstyle though, but only a little bit. 

Apart from my looks, the second potion, I created worked together with the 'Ideal Self Potion' and affected my biology. I wanted to get rid of diseases, genetic defects and weakness overall. In this world, the weak die very early. So a change of 'physique' was in order. Which was a rather simple potion to create. My intelligence had risen to incalculable levels. 

So I changed my body to have the looks of Kisuke Urahara coupled with a ripped body. I needed strength in this world. But I didn't want to be grossly bloated like a bodybuilder. I came up with a good middle ground. 

[Picture]

Toji Fushiguro had a powerful physique while not losing dexterity or speed. So that's what I went with. And I was not disappointed. Even I salivated when I saw my new physique after the potion had done its job.

.

That was only the beginning of my self-improvement journey. It would take years until I reached the body I have right now. Countless potions and operations were done to reach this place. 

I am happy with my current looks and physique and not just me ... my wife is too. 

I didn't think that I would fall in love with this life, but I wasn't really concerned with it. I made the immortality potion when I was 5 and consumed it when I reached maturity, so there was no rush. And it was good, that I wasn't in any rush. Because it would take millennia for me to finally meet my wife ... or for her to stumble into my life ... literally. 

"What are you thinking about so intensely?", the melodious voice of my love is heard behind me. I smile when I feel her arms wrap around me and turn around to look into the most beautiful blue eyes in existence. 

"The beginning."

"Oh? You mean your suffering until you met me?", she smiles.

"I wouldn't say suffering. I had things to do after all. And you were the one to intrude on my quiet relaxing day."

"Bah! You were probably wanking off in your lab or something when I arrived here, accidentally.", she rolls her eyes at me and I laugh. 

"Haha."

We lock eyes and I can see the love and care in them, like it was decades ago, when I first met her. Visenya Urahara, née Targaryen. The elder sister of Aegon the C*nt.

(Flashback)

I was having a good day lying on my deckchair in the garden. The sun was shining and it was the perfect temperature to sleep in the sun. I was doing just that when I heard a disgusting roar and then a heavy landing of someone. 

*BOOOOM*

The ground shook as a small earthquake had just taken place. I was shaken from my sleep and terribly annoyed. I knew that roar, since a few years ago, the c*nt with the bleached hair came to Harrenhal and burnt the Hoare family to death. 

I wasn't angry because of House Hoare, but I was angry because it was my land and the Dragonfire burnt a lot of the nice nature that was on MY LAND.

The pointless show of dominance rubbed me the wrong way. When I saw the flames from my home, which was located on the formerly known Isle of Faces, I rushed to stop it. 

I asked Aegon to stop the burning but was rewarded with Dragonfire. Naturally, I survived since I was immune to fire, but I was majorly pissed. After burning all of my clothes, the c*nt just left. 

So it went without saying that I did not have a good first impression about the White-haired bastards who rode lizards. I had a plan for Aegon, but wanted to make a bigger showing of my might. That is a topic for another time. 

.

When I heard the roar and felt the small earthquake, I assumed that Aegon had finally returned and we would have our ... tête-à-tête. Instead, I found a woman, with whitish-blonde hair caressing a Dragon. 

I looked around and saw the destroyed forest. Seeing the Dragon, I knew that it had to be a Lizard humper, as I came to call the Targaryens, but the looks of the woman were not typical for a Targaryen. Her hair was more blonde than it was white, and her eyes were blue instead of that ridiculous purple. 

She had her hair braided and was in what I assume to be this dragonrider armour. 

I saw that she had a Valyrian steel sword at her hips. As someone with beyond-genius level intelligence and having lived a very long time, I learned to read people. I don't want to brag, but it was possible for me to judge someone's character within the first few minutes of meeting them. Well, that's not really true. It takes me a glance. But if I want to make sure, one or a maximum of two minutes is more than enough. 

So seeing Visenya back then, I knew that she was both a dragonrider and a warrior, comfortable in both silk and ringmail. I was impressed with what I saw but you only get one chance at a first impression, so I was still angry at the fact that she had destroyed a big part of my beautiful forest. 

.

"What are you doing?", I asked her. She turned around and saw me. After a moment, she looked back at her Dragon, completely forgetting I was there. This was the effect my appearance had on people. They saw me, saw my average face, my rather boring and simple clothes and then put me in a drawer called 'Pleb'. 

I was amused at her reaction. Everyone would underestimate me when they first see me. Anyone. And that is good. I can fly under the radar this way. I can make all of my moves without anyone caring about me. So by the time they make their first move on the chess board, I have already mated them. 

*Heavy breathing SFX*

The Dragon was breathing heavily. I knew that breathing pattern well. I had never treated a Dragon, but millions of humans and knew that this was most probably the same case here. 

""It's alright Vhagar. Take this meat, and you'll feel better right away.""

The woman was speaking High Valyrian, confirming that she truly was one of the Targaryen siblings. She was about to give the Dragon meat when I interfered. 

"I wouldn't do that if I were you.", I say and look down at the Dragon.

!!

She moves back a bit, surprised at how I got so near her and her Dragon. The Dragon looked surprised as well. It wasn't something I could see, but I could smell the Dragon's surprise. Yeah, that's a story for another time. 

The woman unsheathed her Valyrian steel sword and swung it at me. 

*Swish swish swish*

I dodged all of her strikes by moving my upper body with ease. She seemed like a 'skilled' fighter by this world's standards, but there were still many openings and her speed was not even a fraction of mine. 

She continued to attack me, while I continued to dodge. Eventually, she stopped and looked at me. 

"Who are you?! How did you get so close to me?!", she asked me, while holding me at 'sword point'. Haha. 

"My name is Kisuke Urahara. A drag to make your acquaintance. These are my lands and this is my forest. You and your Dragon are intruding here.", I tell her. 

"Haven't you heard yet? There are no longer 7 Kingdoms. There is now only one and the Targaryens rule it. This land belongs to us now."

"Ah, but you're wrong. I don't care how many lizards you mount or how many Kingdoms there are, this land is mine and I will never give it up, for anyone. And if your c*nt of a King has a problem with that, he knows where to find me. Also, aren't you forgetting that Dorne isn't part of your little group yet?"

"You dare speak like that about Aegon? I will have your head!"

"Aha, and how are you going to do that? We already established that you're slower than me. Your Dragon won't help you either, as he's poisoned and other than that, I don't see anyone else who would help you.", I stated. 

"That doesn't- Wait what?! Poisoned? What are you talking about? Vhagar isn't poisoned. He has been recovering from a wound and is a bit weak, that's all. After I give him some sustenance, he will be fine.", she said and moved towards her Dragon, while keeping an eye on me. 

"As I said. I wouldn't do that if I were you. I am a doctor, so I know my poisons. Were you to give him that meat, he would suffocate and die.", I told her. She looked at me in disbelief and anger. 

"You!!! Leave now! If you approach or even speak to me any longer, I will kill call my siblings and they will kill you if it's the last thing I do!!!", she screamed in anger. 

...

I opened my fan and hid my expression behind it. 

"Oh my. Such a bad temper.", I said and then took a step back, "Oh well, my hands are clean."

She watched me take a few steps back and then moved to give her Dragon the meat she wanted to originally. The Dragon who was not doing well, took the meat and ate it. 

A minute later, something happened that I saw coming. Vhagar began to choke on the meat. His pharynx muscles were paralysed and he couldn't swallow. So now the meat was sitting above the opening of the trachea and blocked the airflow. Quite stupid of her. 

*Dragon coughing and whining SFX*

.

Visenya looked at her Dragon in panic and then turned around to look at me. I had already turned around and was walking back to my house when she saw me. 

"W-WAIT!!", she shouted but I didn't turn around. I continued to my house and went to get something. When I returned I saw the pathetic wheezing of the Dragon, that would surely be his last if I weren't there. 

I approached the Dragon and injected him with a syringe I had grabbed. 

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!", she screamed at me with tears in her eyes, thinking I was killing him. She attacked me again, but this time, I let her vent her frustrations. I don't know why I did that, but I felt like she needed it. It was the first time I allowed anyone to hit me and it would be the last time. 

*ROAR*

A weak roar was heard from the Dragon as he caught his breath again. Visenya turned around and embraced the Dragon's snout. I stood back up and got rid of the dust, from my clothes. 

*sob sob*

"What did you do?", she asked me when I approached the duo again. 

"I gave him a serum that regenerated his 9th and 10th cranial nerves. They were badly damaged because he was poisoned. Honestly, I didn't think that Dragons have the same anatomy as humans do, but it looks like they have the same nerves that control swallowing as we do."

"What? So you ... didn't know what you were doing and just ... experimented?!!", she said and raised her voice at the end again. 

"Well, yes. But lucky us, because otherwi-"

*BANG*

She hit me in the face again. 

"You know for a woman in need, you sure treat me badly.", I tell her. 

"I ... I ... I'm sorry. Can you help her? Whenever someone does anything to her or even talks badly about her, I just get enraged."

"Yeah, no kidding."

"So, do you know how to treat him?", she asked me. 

"Not really. But I have a few ideas on how to go about it. I'm something of a genius doctor you know."

"..."

"..."

"What's your name?"

"Kisuke Urahara."

"Visenya Targaryen. Nice to meet you, Kisuke."

I will post a picture of how Visenya looks like today in the next chapter.
