Author's Notes: hello! I know it's been awhile… this time I'm giving tribute to the 2nd Division captain Soifon who rarely smiles… And if she does, its because she would be defeating her enemy. I've been thinking who would suit her best but after almost wrecking my brain of considering who would be the lucky guy… errr I ended up with an OC.. Please be forewarned on the OOCness of the characters.
Zai-chan, as promised… J
Disclaimer: I do not own Bleach… though I own Ryuuki… and Zai the other character is inspired after my imotou-chan J
Pairing: Fon Soifon x OC

'shinigami & zanpakutou conversation'
It's was a rainy day in Seireitei and even the mood of great shinigamis of Gotei 13 were somehow affected by the gloomy weather. At the 2nd Division, its captain the formidable Soifon was gazing out of the window, idly watching the rain from her office as she waited for her esteemed mentor.
I wonder what's taking Yoruichi-sama so long… she has not arrived yet, she mused as she stared absentmindedly out of the window. Suddenly, a movement caught her attention and was surprised to see a very drenched cat trying to seek shelter in one of the trees nearby. Thinking that it might be her idolized former captain, she quickly jumped off the window and shunpoed to where the cat was, and as she was about to reach for it, she was surprised that it was not her former captain in her usual cat form.
Ugh! It's just a stray cat! Soifon thought as she looked at the feline. It meowed helplessly and somehow it reached the fearless 2nd Division Captain's heart.
"You must be cold… here… come neko, lets go to my quarters since you had me come to rescue you…" she spoke more to herself than to the cat, convincing herself that she would give it shelter and would let it go after the rain stopped. As she shunpoed back to her headquarters, a black cat came out from its hiding place and leisurely licked its paw, and looking at the cat that was being carried away, the feline's golden eyes sparkled as if it were laughing.
Soifon brought the soaked, bedraggled cat in her bathroom where she prepared a basin of warm water, jasmine soap and towel. She gently placed the cat on the counter and bathe it. She was so busy cleaning the cat that she did not notice its docile behavior; it just submitted itself to her ministrations. It was then that she noticed that its fur was silvery-grey, and its eyes were of different hues, azure and sea green.
"You sure are a unique cat!" Soifon said as she bathed the feline. As she towel it dry for some reason she was becoming fond of the cat, who was purring contentedly and quietly letting her do the work.
'Ojou-sama, it seems that the cat likes you' her zanpakutou Suzumebachi stated.
'Ahh… I think so too… it's just that I find it too adoring' Soifon said as she studied the feline she was grooming.
'Ne… maybe because it is the opposite of Yoruichi-sama… it is being…'
'Urusai! Don't even say it!' Soifon scolded her zanpakutou
'Say what, o-jou-sa-ma?' Suzumebachi asked, a little too innocently.
'I know what's on your mind, you wily hornet!' Soifon furiously retorted as she briskly toweled the cat.
'Errr ojou-sama, spare the cat your temper' Suzumebachi chuckled.
"Gaaah! Gomen ne, neko-san" she said, alarmed that she might harmed the cat
"So now you're talking to animals, eh?" a voice behind her interrupted
"Yoruichi-sama!" Soifon exclaimed, surprised at the sudden arrival of her former Taichou and mentor. She smiled sheepishly and felt that somehow she betrayed her since she's literally taking care of a stray cat. Yoruichi gently took the cat from her and ruffled its fur, while the cat snuggled comfortably at her arms.
"Hmnn… seems that the cat likes being snuggled… does it have a name?" Yoruichi asked
"A… ano, uhmmn… I haven't thought about it yet, I rescued it when it was raining earlier, I thought it was you" Soifon sheepishly replied as Yoruichi tenderly hugged the cat and set it down on the floor.
"Then since it looks like a stray then why not take it as a pet… it seems to like you" her mentor observed as the cat gently went to Soifon and rubbed itself on her leg before curling itself on her lap.
"Iie… I will just let it stay a day or two…" she replied
Or so she thought…
