A/N: Hello my beautiful people, I have come back from the dead. I was known by another name, Captain-Blue-Cat-94, if that rings a bell. But I changed my name a bit. But here I am! It's been a while, but I have come back to bring you a new Yorusoi story. I hope you like it.
I don't own Bleach or the characters, just the OC.
It was a cool autumn day in the Soul Society. The trees were shifting color and the weather becoming colder. Even the soul reapers were beginning to feel the change. Requests for the winter uniforms had been placed in advance, leaving the clothing sub department busy. But at the moment, a visitor had just arrived from the world of the living. A gorgeous, mocha skinned woman with a killer figure had landed on the outskirts of the Seireitei. Her purple hair was up in a high ponytail and her usual get up which consisted of flexible black pants and a semi-long sleeved orange top. Her name was Yoruichi Shihouin. Her golden eyes stared at the land before her and sighed.
She had important business here today, business that would change the life of her and the person she needed to talk to. Which happened to be the current captain of squad two and commander of the Omnitsukaido. Captain Soi Fon. Yes, the tanned woman had a revelation dawn on her during a morning stroll in the world of the living. And she knew that Soi Fon had to hear this. So, now, here she was.
"I love days like this" she sighed as she gave a wide yawn and stretched her arms. She was going to use flash step to get to the second division, she saw many of Soi's subordinates running laps, doing their work outs. And she saw even more doing the normal chores. A regular day at squad two. But, she didn't sense the captain's presence nearby, perhaps she was out on an errand. So, she would have to wait it seemed. It was fine, Yoruichi had nowhere else to be at the moment.
All the while, a short stoic woman in second division captain's uniform was walking from the seventh division, back to her own. Her face was stern, and her storm grey eyes concentrated on the wooden floors. She was deep in thought.
As of late, her patrolmen had reported strange sightings around the borders of the Seireitei. They had told her that a few hollows had been spotted. Nothing new, but these hollows were acting strangely. They would retreat whenever they saw any soul reaper come for them. And even when giving chase, the hollows would disappear altogether. None of her tactics were successful so far, and if this continued, she would have to go out herself. The idea had been on the captain's mind now for a week and a half. But she would have to figure out some way to capture this nuisance. There were more important things to worry about.
"So annoying" she growled as she turned a corner and immediately stopped.
"My apologizes captain, I was deep in thought" Soi Fon apologized as she looked up. It was Captain Ukitake of division thirteen. A man with long free flowing white hair and a kind demeanor.
"Oh now don't worry about it Captain Soi Fon, it happens" he smiled before coughing fiercely. If not for her own demeanor, Soi Fon would have winced. Captain Ukitake was a man who easily got sick. And today was no exception it seemed.
"Perhaps you should visit Unohana" Soi Fon suggested sternly.
"Clever as always my dear, I was just on my way, but I have to make a quick stop at division three" he said with a much weaker smile now.
"I must insist that you reserve your energy and move on to the fourth division, I will send Omaeda to tend to your business" Soi Fon said insistently. Granted she never said it out loud. She worried about the much taller man and his health.
"That is very kind of you Soi Fon, if you could, please have Omaeda pick up a document for me please" he said.
"Very well, consider it already there" Soi Fon said before the two parted ways. She used her flash step to get to her office and slide open the office door. Which is where she was met with her lieutenant snacking away by her desk. A vein pulsed on her temple.
"Omaeda! What are you doing!" she demanded, scaring the large oaf of a man. He began to stutter and spew food out onto the floor, making the vein throb even more.
"Never mind, go to squad three and pick up a document for captain Ukitake and deliver it to his office" she snapped. He was gone before she could say anything else. When the room was quiet again, Soi Fon went to her desk. She had much work to do, and the day only lasted so long. She was about to pick up her brush when a thought passed through her mind. She set the instrument down and glanced at a drawer to her left. She opened it and looked inside. Only one thing sat in the drawer, an old photograph. She stared at it with a rarely shown emotion. Fondness.
"It's been so long since I last saw you" Soi Fon thought before hiding the picture once again. She then picked up her brush and began to work. After all was only so much daylight.
About an hour into her work, the sound of one clearing their throat caught the captain's attention. Of course, it didn't take a captain to figure out who it was.
"Yoruichi-sama!" Soi Fon exclaimed. She saw a black cat sitting on her desk, right in front of her. Once again, her spiritual suppression had fooled the small captain.
"Soi Fon, so good to see you" the cat purred. Soi Fon groaned.
"Not now Yoruichi-sama, I have a lot of work to do" the short woman said.
"But Soi, this is important" Yoruichi said in a pouty tone. Which made the short captain roll her steel colored eyes.
"I would like to believe you, but the last time you said it was important, you had swindled me into going out for the evening, I had extra work to do after that!" Soi Fon pointed out with a blushing huff. Before the cat went to speak, two hell butterflies fluttered into the room.
"What now?" Soi Fon asked as the first one landed on her finger. She listened intently before allowing it to fly away. It had been a thank you message from Ukitake. The next one was surprising, shocking even. The captain's eyes widened a fraction before falling back into their original state.
"I see" she sighed.
"What?" Yoruichi asked.
"Unohana wishes to see me at once, it is of the upmost importance it seems" Soi Fon informed her before standing from her desk again.
"Great, I haven't visited Retsu in a while, I'll join you" Yoruichi grinned, making her way to follow her.
"I'm afraid you cannot accompany me, it is a private matter" Soi Fon said, stopping Yoruichi at the door. The golden eyed feline blinked in surprise as Soi Fon used her flash step to leave. What was so important?
Soi Fon arrived at the fourth division in a heartbeat. The message she had received had her running like her life depended on it. And in a way, it kind of did. Unohana, granted she was a very patient woman, did not like to be kept waiting, especially when you're the fastest soul reaper in the soul society. She entered through the massive doors and went to Unohana's office.
"Captain Unohana, may I enter?" Soi Fon asked politely.
"Yes, please come in Soi Fon" Unohana answered. And she did so.
"Ah, Soi Fon, it is wonderful to see you, how are you?" the raven haired woman asked. Her hair was done into a long braid that ran down the front of her body. Her soft, caring, maternal like eyes looked at the other captain.
"I-I am well, thank you, now, what is it you wished to speak about?" Soi Fon asked.
"Always straight to the point, very well then, I have received a letter from the head captain" Unohana said. Soi Fon tilted her head slightly. So Unohana continued.
"It would seem that the team that he sent for the AHE mission, has finally returned" Unohana informed her. Soi Fon gasped quietly as her eyes widened. Then, she her hands began to tremble ever so slightly.
"S-So, you're telling me" Soi Fon began to say. And Unohana's smile got a little wider.
"Yes, she has finally come home" Unohana said fondly.
"When can I see her? I must know!" the second division captain said with an uncharacteristic sense of urgency. Unohana chuckled lightly before raising a hand.
"I understand your enthusiasm, I share it too, but you know the rules, one night in quarantine, then the team will be free to return to their respected divisions." Soi Fon sighed. Yes, she did know the rules, she was never one to break rules either. Well, she had broken a few, but it was so long ago. And no one found out anyway.
"Very well, thank you for telling me" Soi Fon said. Then the short captain did something that almost no one ever got to witness these days, the second division captain smiled.
