I do not own Bleach.
Omaeda had finally been healed by the fourth division and he was looking for his captain. He found her standing alone, staring forlornly at the darkening sky. Not for the first time Omaeda pitied his captain.
Looking around he noticed that everyone had someone else with them, comforting them. Yet, as always, everybody ignored his captain and left her to wallow in the misery of a century's worth of conflicting emotions. He noticed something caught her attention for the slightest of moments before she fell further into her stupor. To anyone else looking they would have seen the stoic Soi-Fon that she wanted them to see, but not Omaeda, he had served her for a century and could see the storm within her heart.
Inconspicuously he searched for what had garnered her attention and saw Yoruichi leaving. That blasted woman, why did she have to come back! Soi-Fon had never truly healed from what had happened when the first person to have ever cared for her, and the first person she ever loved, left. Every day Omaeda could see the weight of Yoruichi's betrayal weighing heavily on his captain.
He couldn't remember the last time he had seen a true smile light up his captain's face. That blasted woman had no idea the pain she had caused. She had obviously made it even worse; she had probably mocked his captain, not perceptive enough to realize the heart-wrenching pain she was inflicting. Her arrival had only made everything worse and Omaeda wished he could take away his captain's pain.
He walked over to her and, gathering up his courage, placed a hand on her shoulder. He was risking a hand to his captain's wrath, but he felt that the risk was worth it. She needed some sort of reassurance that at the very least someone understood her and cared.
"You got your wish huh? She finally came back." She turned her head slightly to look at him before turning back to the sky. He was saddened by the cloudy look in her eyes and knew the rain was not far behind.
"They say the only thing worse than not getting what you wish for is getting it." How much could a single person suffer? He had always tried to be there for his captain, but she was no longer capable of love.
"I'm waiting for the rain Omaeda." He was surprised when she spoke without prompting and immediately understood. She was dismissing him. He gave a small squeeze of understanding before turning to leave.
"Omaeda." He stopped, wondering what else she had to say. "Thank you." He allowed a small sad smile to cross his face before he continued on.
As the first rain drops began to fall they both looked up and allowed their tears to be washed away.
This short little one-shot takes place on Sōkyoku Hill right after Aizen's betrayal. In this Soi-Fon never had her breakdown in front of Yoruichi partly because of the pressing issue of Aizen and because Soi-Fon hides her emotions a little better in this. I always wondered if Omaeda had a crush on Soi-Fon as most of her underlings do.
Anyways this is my first attempt at writting so if you dislike my writing please tell me why so I can fix it.
