Who is Kisuke Urahara?

(Alexandra POV)

|| Hello Dear

I'm writing to you because I need your and Melissa's help. We're currently at Kings Landing if you can believe it. Your mother's 'coin favour' ... enough said. I have to say, it didn't get any better since the c*nt sat on the throne. In that regard, it looks like it stayed the same. 

I digress. I wanted to ask for your help in protecting someone. Your brothers and sisters are not in Westeros except for Melissa. She is in the Vale with her group. I'll tell you the rest once you're here. 

P.S.: Bring her along with you. Your mother is dying to meet her.

Love Dad.||

"Who is it?", the woman lying next to me in bed asks me. She embraces my waist and presses her face into my stomach, making me smile. I have found myself spending more time with the woman and one thing led to the other. I followed my parents' teachings on point about love. 

Yes, how many sons and daughters can say that? But Mother and Father are much different from normal people in this world. Sometimes, I don't even think that Father is human at all. But there is no one in the world, apart from Mother, who showers his children with so much love and care. That didn't mean that we were sheltered, on the contrary. All of us siblings learned the truth of the world and human nature very early on. 

"It's from my father. He has summoned me.", I tell her and caress her head. Father told me that should I find a woman to love, I should go for it. He said and I quote: 

'My dearest daughters, in matters of men, think of them as stars in the night sky: captivating from afar, but getting too close may reveal they're just balls of gas. Better to bask in your own inner glow than risk getting burned by their fleeting flames. 

In other words, forget about them. If you want a child, I can make you one using your and your loved ones' DNA. Just say the word, I mean its- 

*BONK* *BONK* *BONK* *BONK* '

No matter how we sisters reacted to that, I knew that he was telling the truth. He had found a way to 'translate' the Y-chromosome into an X-chromosome while keeping all the information intact. It is beyond my full understanding, but it is impressive.

.

"What does he want? Where do you have to go?", she asks and seems wide awake now. 

"I am to come to Kings Landing. Mother and Father are both there right now. Melissa is coming as well.", I say and look at her expression. 

"Don't look so down, love. My parents will love you.", I say and smile. 

"Are you sure?"

"Absolutely. You are smart, have a big heart and what's most important ... you have the rare ability called: 'common sense'."

"Common sense? Why is that ... the most important? And what about my looks? I still don't understand why someone as beautiful as you-"

"Stop it. I already told you, that I don't care about that. Beauty is not quantifiable by your appearance.", I tell her what I truly believe and what my parents taught me. Their teachings were special, but beauty is not really something that a family cares about, where the Father can change your DNA with a potion.

"Haah ... you say that, but I still feel like the ugly duckling in the relationship. Like I don't give enough in this relationship. Sometimes I-", I stop her by claiming her lips. 

"Enough. It is time for you to meet my parents. After I saved you, I should have introduced you already."

"WHAT?! B-but but ..."

"Father already knows about you anyway."

"Wait, really? How?"

"Father has his ways. His intelligence is his most powerful and scary attribute.", I say. I sigh at the thought of Father already knowing about Alissa. I didn't tell him or mother about her. I didn't really know about her myself until recently. Better get going then.

(Melissa POV)

"My lady, a letter for you.", my secretary tells me. I don't look up and continue with the final touches and then put everything away. 

I take it and then read the letter. I get excited when I see who wrote it.

||Hello Dear

I'm writing to you because I need your and Alexandra's help. We're currently at Kings Landing if you can believe it. Your mother's 'coin favour' ... enough said. I have to say, it didn't get any better since the c*nt sat on the throne. In that regard, it looks like it stayed the same. 

I digress. I wanted to ask for your help in protecting and looking after someone. Your brothers and sisters are not in Westeros except for Alexandra, who is helping a small village in Dorne. If your work allows it, then I would appreciate it if you could come.

P.S.: Robert is getting a bit too touchy for my tastes. Tell him to stop or, I'll think of something.

Love Dad.||

.

I smile when I read that last part. He is right, Robert has gotten a bit too touchy-feely lately. I need to put him in his place soon. It's just like Mother always said, 'punch them, it's fun to do'.

"I'm going away for a while. Tell Brandon to deal with everything while I'm gone.", I say to Robert and then move out of the room. However, before I reach the door, I feel a hand on my arm, stopping me from leaving. I look back at Robert.

"What are you doing?", I ask him with narrowed eyes. 

"Melissa, I-"

"Who gave you the right to call me by the first name?", I interrupt him.

"But I thought-"

"You thought wrong. Now let me go before I turn you into a sieve.", I tell him. But instead of letting me go, he grabs my shoulder with his other hand and brings his face closer to mine. That does it.

I grab his neck and lift him into the air, choking him that way. 

"Kkakk"

"I have been a bit lenient lately, that will change. You will abdicate your position. Brandon will show you your new position. Make sure not to agitate me again.", I continue speaking as he turns cyanotic and just before he dies, I let go making him fall to the ground. 

*Thud*

"*cough cough cough* ... you don't *cough* ... have to act that way ... *cough* ... I know you love m-"

*SHING*

My sword cuts through the air and a second later, his head rolls off his shoulders. I hate it when men tell you what they believe and try to show you how smart they are. To think that there has only been one man, I could respect since I set out in the world, is ... demotivating. The best man is in the firm hands of Mother ... 

.

The door opens and Brandon walks in. He looks at the mess and then at me. He nods his head and then leaves again. What I like about Brandon is his ability to think in a connected way. He can get a full picture, by only having pieces of information. He is a mathematical prodigy. If I didn't know Father, I would even call him a genius, but next to Father, everyone else just pales in comparison. 

Brandon comes back with a group of people who get to work without saying a word. I walk out and he walks behind me. He can tell, that I have something to tell him. 

"I'm leaving for a while. I don't know how long, but a few weeks at the least. You know what to do.", I say as we reach the stables. Contrary to belief, do we not keep horses in here, but an eagle ... a giant eagle. It was a birthday present from Mother and Father. There was a heated letter from Mother that told me about the stupid experiments Father had done and for some reason had created a giant eagle for me to use as transportation.

"I understand, my lady. What about the recent 'provocations'. would you like me to handle it?", Brandon asks. 

"Yes. I trust you to deal with it. Get rid of it.", I say and mount Sky. That's the name I gave my eagle. Thankfully, she has the ability to shrink, should the situation call for it. All of Father's animals can change sizes. I don't even want to think about the Koi fish ... Mother was furious when one of the Koi 'large-fied' and destroyed part of the house.

"Let's go, Sky. To the South."

(Viserys POV)

My nervousness and fear cloud all my other feelings right now. I can't sit still and walk back and forth in front of Aemma's door. I can't go in, a large man is blocking it. I don't know when he appeared, but after I was expelled from the room, he suddenly stood there. 

He was a tall man, with a large build. A hood was covering his face when he talked, which only happened once, a shiver would run down my spine. But the worry for my wife's and son's health overshadow the worry about this mystery knight. He is holding a giant great sword in his hands, which he has stabbed into the ground.

The King's Guard wanted to start a fight when they heard that this 'Kiscke' barged in and threw me out. But I saw Visenya ... there was no doubt about it. It was Visenya, the eldest sister of Aegon. How was that possible? Where did they come from? So the rumours were true? She indeed married that man and they were both still alive through ... most likely magical means. 

Were the Maesters right? Are they using foul and evil sorcery? Will they harm my wife and child?

I was in the presence of my Father Baelon and my grandfather Jaehaerys I Targaryen, so I was familiar with the 'kingly' aura. And while I also had it to some degree, I know that it is nothing like my father or grandfather. I am a peace-loving man and try to do things without bloodshed. But what I felt when this 'Kisiki' walked into the room and told everyone to leave ... I have never felt so ... scared in my life. 

It felt similar to the time, I first saw Balerion the Black Dread. And yet, it was different this time. Like I was about to be killed and there was nothing I could do about it. I was compelled to leave the room. 

.

It has been two hours now and nothing has changed. I am still walking back and forth and waiting for something to happen. I am worried. I haven't heard the babe scream or cry once. And Aemma didn't scream in pain either. Did she already die? Gods, please no. I can't lose yet another-

My thoughts are interrupted by the door opening. The dark knight steps aside lightly and lets someone step outside. I recognize Visenya, but she is clothed in a strange way. And then that weird mask ...

I rush towards her. She holds up her hand and takes off the strange mask and then the hat, which kept her beautiful full blonde hair at bay. 

"How is the babe and Aemma? Is the babe alive?", I ask in quick succession. She doesn't answer me and only looks me in the eyes. I shudder for some reason. 

"The surgery was a full success. They are both alive. You are now father to two daughters instead of one, congratulations.", she says and my thoughts go blank when I hear her. I can't help but smile sadly. 

"When I say congratulations, I don't mean for your child, but for nearly killing your wife and child. We will talk later, now there are two people we will welcome.", Visenya says and then starts walking past me. I am confused and get nervous.

"Wait! Can I see them?!", I shout but she just keeps walking. She turns around and looks me in the eyes again. I can see the fury in them. But she knows how to reign in her fury. 

"You may not see them. Your wife and daughter will be fine, my husband is still looking after them. You will come with me to welcome two special people. After that, we will have a word together.", Visenya says and continues walking. 

I look back and then at the King's Guard. I shake my head and follow her, with the guards on our heels. We walk through the Red Keep and finally reach the entrance, where two young and dare I say probably the most beautiful ladies are talking with each other. They seem to be very close and exchanging gossip. Contrary to the ladies at court, they seem to be genuine in their happiness.

One of them has black hair and rather pale skin. She looks like a warrior with her dark armour. The second one has darker skin and white hair, which has been cut short. They are both dressed in a foreign way, but I can't help but swallow at their sight.

"What is this? Am I not getting a hug?", Visenya says and smiles. When the two hear her voice, they turn around and smile brightly. My heart can't help but flutter at their smiles. It's like the sunshine was let in.

"Mom!" "Mother!"

They embrace and I hear them whisper to one another. 

"What?!"

"What a disgrace!"

I flinch at that and can't help but think that they are talking about me. 

.

After standing there awkwardly for a while, they finally finish embracing each other and walk towards me. 

"These are two of my daughters, Alexandra and Melissa. They have come to look after Aemma, while my husband and I can't. They will also make sure that no Maester enter her room. We don't trust the Maesters to get things done and 'accidents' happen way too often.", Visenya tells me. 

"I- I understand. It is lovely to meet you. If I could now go and see-"

"Yes, yes. We'll go to see them soon. But you and I are first going to have a talk. If someone would lead my girls to Aemma's room, while we go to another, where we won't be disturbed."

I motion for one of the Kings Guards to show the two ladies the way, while Visenya and I walk towards another room, 'to talk'. 

"Would you at least tell me, why your daughters are here?", I ask still not fully understanding why they came here.

"They came here to take care and protect Aemma. Kisuke doesn't trust the Maesters to do that. I already told you that."

"Yes, but how come they are here already?"

"Kisuke wrote both of them to come here."

"You mean he wrote your daughters to come here before he knew the situation? Are you telling me, he knew this would happen?"

"No. Kisuke likes to be prepared for every possible situation that might occur. He knew that it might be possible for Aemma to be in a dire state or that we could be late and therefore wrote my daughters before we left. He didn't tell them what they had to do, because he wasn't certain either. It's as simple as that.", she said and then shrugged. 

I might have underestimated this Kiske Uraha. To be able to plan so far ahead ...

Just who is he and why isn't he sitting on the Iron Throne yet?
