Bath Day

I don't own Bleach. So there.

::::.Start.::::

Shihouin Yoruichi did not like water.

And not a single person in the family could figure out why. After all, there had not been any mishaps with the water. Or, any that had been spoken of, at least. So, every bath day, they would try to get her to get in the water, and, every time, she'd run off somewhere, seeming to vanish. And the servants would all panic and look in every hiding spot that they could think of, never once finding her.

And every time, she'd probably be in one of the same three places.

The Shiba household with Kaien and Kukaku,

The Urahara household with Kisuke,

Or the Kuchiki household with Byakuya.

Because, needless to say, the servants never once thought that the young Shihouin princess would hide out with the other noble's families, and, even if they did, they weren't so worried that they felt they had reason to give the other families reason to put down their own clan. It was simply stupid. And even if they did ask, nobody would know, anyways, because Yoruichi did not use such primitive methods as the front door. Oh no, it was much smarter just to climb through a window. After all, that way there was less chance of being spotted.

This bath day, she had decided to hide out with Kisuke.

Walking through the grounds of the Urahara household, a young Yoruichi quickly spotted the opening near the ground, one that blended into the wall quite nicely when closed. And she got in, closing the wall up again as she did, and walked on down the small stairs that led down into Kisuke's basement lab.

A young Urahara, seeming to sense Yoruichi's arrival, opened the door to his lab and grinned.

"Yoruichi-san! I was wondering when you'd be here!"

"They tried to trick me this time, the idiots." Yoruichi answered, grinning as well. "They said they had a surprise for me, and I had to put a blindfold on and everything."

"That sounds horrible, Yoruichi! They must not understand your true genius or something, ne?"

"Or something." Yoruichi agreed, nodding. "Can I come in, now, Kisuke?"

"Of course! I'm in the middle of working on a new experiment. There's a pile of cushions if you want to take a nap."

"Yeah I might. What's your experiment?"

The two were now inside the lab, the door closed behind them.

"I'm trying to make a pill that, when taken, can force a soul of its Gigai, or even a human's body, and put in a replacement soul so no one suspects anything." Kisuke answered, grinning. "It would help if you had to be undercover in school or something, and then fight hollows. That way your teachers and fellow students wouldn't suspect anything."

"Huh. Sounds impossible." Yoruichi yawned, and went over and curled up on the cushions. "Wake me up when it's night. I'll have to go back, eventually, otherwise, they'll really freak out."

"They probably are already." Urahara answered, and then went back to work on his experiment as Yoruichi closed her eyes and went to sleep.

::::.Morning.::::

"Well, time to wake up, Yoruichi-san." Urahara spoke, bending down over Yoruichi.

"Neh…" Yoruichi sat up, stretching and rubbing her eyes. "Do I have to?"

"Of course you do! You yourself said that the servants might really begin to freak out if you were gone for too long." He pointed out, grinning.

"True." Yoruichi answered, sighing, but standing. She smiled lightly. "See you later, then, Kisuke."

Urahara nodded. "Yep. You, too, Yoruichi-san." He then proceeded to wave as she walked off.

The servants, needless to say, were relieved when Yoruichi came home.
