Captain-Blue-Kitty: well as you all know that Saturday is a special day for a special someone *stares at Soifon with a wide grin*

Yoruichi: *smirks widely* indeed it is

Soifon: *blushes* don't you dare say it

Captain-Blue-Kitty: *blinks innocently* what do you mean

Yoruichi: HAPPY BIRTHDAY HONEY BEE *glomps Soifon*

Soifon: AH! *falls*

Captain-Blue-Kitty: Yes, Saturday is the great Captain Soifon's birthday, and in honor of you, I have written you a one-shot that is guaranteed to make you smile, but save the cake and songs for Saturday

Soifon: *from the ground* whatever, Yoruichi get off!

Yoruichi: but you're so comfortable Soi *nuzzles Soifon*

Captain-Blue-Kitty: save it for the story, anyway, I don't own bleach or these lovely ladies. Because if I did, they would get more screen time and they'd definitely be together by now!

Yoruichi: please enjoy

It was a relaxing morning like any other in the world of the living. The sun was out giving the citizens a warm glow and everyone who was outside was enjoying it. And at a certain shop, a certain shop keeper was out in the backyard laying on a newly installed hammock relaxing in the warm sun rays while reading a book. His green and white striped bucket hat was shadowing his eyes to keep the morning sun out of his eyes and he had positioned himself to where he could become comfortable quickly. Everything was perfect,

"Ah, nothing could ruin this morning" Kisuke said sighing in relaxation, but it was a short lived moment. Why? Well out of nowhere some screamed at the top of their lungs for the currently relaxing shop keeper.

"KISUKE, GET IN HERE NOW" a feminine voice screamed shrilly. Kisuke scoffed before lazily rolling off the extremely comfortable hammock and dragged his wooden sandals as he walked inside. As he entered the shop he saw a tanned woman with golden eyes and violet hair running towards him with a frantic look on her face.

"Kisuke, do you know what today is" she yelled with complete and total panic. Kisuke rubbed his stubble chin for a moment and gave a sagely hum.

"I believe today is Saturday, why do you ask Yoruichi" Kisuke asked thoughtfully. Yoruichi grabbed her friend's shoulder and shook him,

"It's not just Saturday! It the most important day of the year" she shouted as she continued to shake the man who was quickly becoming dizzy.

"More important than thanksgiving" he asked. Yoruichi nodded vigorously,

"Yes" Kisuke's eyes widened, he had never known a date that Yoruichi's thought was more important than Thanksgiving.

"More important than Christmas" Kisuke asked again and once again Yoruichi nodded.

"Even more important than that" Kisuke knew at this point knew that this situation was serious. What was more important than those two holidays?

"What's so important about today" Kisuke asked a third time.

"It's February 11th" Yoruichi howled as she let go of Kisuke and watched him fall.

"February 11th, why does that ring such a familiar bell" Kisuke asked then Yoruichi picked him back up, only this time she raised him above her head by the front of his kimono.

"IT'S SOIFON'S BIRTHDAY TODAY" Yoruichi screamed again. After a moment Kisuke smiled smugly.

"You forgot didn't you?" this made Yoruichi blush slightly.

"No, I didn't forget, it just happened slipped my mind momentarily and I just happened to remember today" Yoruichi muttered dropping the blonde man. Kisuke quickly got up again and dusted himself off before dusting himself off and pulling out his infamous fan.

"Yoruichi, for shame, what kind of girl forgets her own girlfriend's birthday, why if I was Soifon I would be so heartbroken" Kisuke said dramatically placing his fan on his forehead and making a dramatically sad face. Yoruichi rolled her eyes; she knew Soifon wouldn't make such a big deal about. Thankfully though, Yoruichi had planned ahead of time something special in case she had forgotten.

"It doesn't matter, I've got the whole day figured out" Yoruichi stated proudly. Kisuke clapped his hands in approval,

"Good job Yoru I'm proud that you planned ahead of time instead waiting last minute like you usually do" Kisuke sang happily. Yoruichi put her hands on her hips and looked up proudly,

"Yeah I know I can be so smart sometimes, now I need you to open up a gate so I can get my special bee, I have to go get ready first though" Yoruichi said. Kisuke gave her the thumbs up as she left the room and went upstairs. Just as Kisuke was going to go down to his lab, a Hell butterfly came fluttering in. Kisuke put his finger out for it to land, and once it did, he pulled it close to his face so he could hear the message it came to bring.

"Uh oh that's not good" he frowned as the butterfly flew away.

"Um, Yoruichi I think you should come downstairs for a minute I have to talk to you" Kisuke called. There was silence for a minute before Yoruichi flashed next to him in a fluffy purple robe that was tied somewhat loosely around her waist. And at the moment she had an unplugged curling iron in her hair.

"What is it, I'm getting ready to go pick up Soifon" Yoruichi said huffily. Clearly she had a special thing planned for her and her precious little bee. Unfortunately that would have to change.

"I think you should put the curler down and cancel whatever you were gonna do today" Kisuke sighed. Yoruichi raised a thin purple brow,

"Why, whats wrong" Yoruichi asked. Kisuke scratched the back of his head,

"Well I just got a butterfly from Isane from the Fourth Division and it seems that. . ." but before he could finish Yoruichi started jumping to conclusions,

"Oh no, is Soifon hurt" Yoruichi asked in a clear panic. Kisuke shook his head,

"No she isn't hurt, but" once again he was cut off.

"Is she in emergency surgery, oh god why didn't they tell me sooner" Yoruichi said as she started to pace around.

"No, she not either of those, she just has a bad cold that's all, and Unohana had her stay at home for the day" Kisuke explained. Yoruichi froze in mid stride before letting out a huge sigh of relief.

"It's just a cold, thank goodness" Yoruichi said and Kisuke nodded,

"Yes, man you really jumped to conclusions when it comes to Soifon huh" Kisuke grinned and Yoruichi laughed breathlessly,

"Well I don't get to see her that much these days, poor thing having all those missions, training not only her squad, but the secret police and the Omnitsukaido too, not mention the paperwork; it's like we're dating, but not really dating you know" Yoruichi sighed sadly. Kisuke hummed in thought. He hated seeing his best friend with a dark cloud hanging over her. He had been seeing it more and more lately, and it was affecting her greatly. Her normal happy demeanor would only show itself when either there was a marathon of Cats 101 on Animal planet or Soifon was here for a mission or a visit. Other than that, she would usually seem to force the happiness out.

"Yoruichi I think we should have a talk later, but for now. . ." and for a fourth time he was interrupted,

"I know I'll go take care of Soifon" then Yoruichi rushed up the stairs once again. When she reached the top she leaned slightly over the rail and called,

"Can you still open the gate, thanks" then she disappeared into her room, leaving Kisuke to once again head down to his lab.

"What an interesting day this will be" Kisuke mumbled as he made his decent down the dimly lit hallway. After about twenty minutes Yoruichi had come down stairs, with her usual attire. And at the same time, Kisuke was coming back up from the basement.

"Hey, is the gate ready, I really wanna get there" Yoruichi said and Kisuke nodded his head.

"Yup, it should be here in just a second, so you can wait outside if you want to" Kisuke said and Yoruichi nodded before flashing outside to the front of the shop. Amazingly once the young Shihouin was outside, the gate was waiting for her. Yoruichi grinned as it began to open.

"Hang on baby bee, momma's comin" then she flashed inside the gate just as the door began to close.

Currently in the Second Division, a certain Captain was in her office doing some paperwork. All around her were wadded tissues and crumpled up papers that had been sneezed on. Her skin was deeply flushed and her eyes were red. And she looked awful.

"I can't let a small cold stop me from my duties, I don't care what Unohana said" Soifon muttered to herself as she sneezed loudly and watched her stack of papers fly all over the floor.

"Darn it" she growled before letting out a string of coughs. When she woke up that morning she felt like something had ran her over and stuffed unknown things in her nose. But being the stubborn person she was; she wasn't going to let a cold stand in her way. Unohana had unfortunately come for a visit and saw that Soifon was obviously sick, so she had taken her temperature with a thermometer which, or some reason she was carrying around in her sleeve.

It had read 102.8 Fahrenheit, and Unohana had ordered her not to get out of bed, before leaving. Anyone would not hesitate to obey Unohana, but Soifon had decided to rebel. Why? Because, her new monthly report was due on Sunday and she had barely started it, so she wasn't going to lie down and let a cold keep her from her work. And what was worse, it was her birthday.

Sighing Soifon slowly got up from her seat and slowly made her way to pick up the newly fallen papers. But just as she hunched over her head began to spin and she began to fall. She waited to make impact with the floor but strangely, it never came.

"What are you doing" a serious voice asked and Soifon gulped, she knew the owner of the voice very well. Looking up Soifon saw a very serious faced Yoruichi staring at her disapprovingly while holding her. Soifon grinned sheepishly while she blushed, though the blush was well hidden within the fevered skin.

"I was *coughs* working on my *coughs*" but Soifon never finished her sentence because she began to have a large fit of coughs.

"Yoruichi tsked as she lifted Soifon up and cradled her like a new born baby,

"Now I was told, that a certain Captain was supposed be sick and in bed, not working" Yoruichi said as she began to walk out of the office and back towards Soifon's quarters.

"But Yoruichi-sama I *Achoo* have work that's due to *coughs* tomorrow" Soifon said before pulling out a tissue from her sleeve and blew her nose on it before groaning and slumping her head onto Yoruichi's shoulder.

"Now little bee, you should know better than that, now when we get back to your quarters, I'm putting you to bed and I'm going to be your caretaker" Yoruichi explained as they made it to the front door of Soifon's apartment. Soifon crossed her arms and looked away defiantly, but one thought had crossed her mind as they went in,

"Maybe this birthday won't be so bad after all" once Yoruichi had set Soifon down on her bed she told her to change into her night Yukata.

"Yoruichi-sama, *Achoo* thank you for * Achoo* coming to take care of me" Soifon said as she replaced her uniform with her Yukata. Yoruichi looked her with a small tinge of hurt before it quickly changed to a wide grin.

"How long have we been dating my dear honey bee" she asked knowing Soifon knew the correct number.

"We've been * coughs* dating for sixth months now" Soifon said, she rushed the last part of her sentence before she started sneezing like she was in a dusty attic. But by the time she had stopped, the duo had been in Soifon's room, and Yoruichi was leaning over Soifon's bed.

"Are you done" Yoruichi asked with a teasing grin. After sniffing a bit Soifon nodded.

"Yeah, I think so" Soifon said with a weak smile, Yoruichi laughed slightly before gently putting Soifon on her bed.

"Thank you" Soifon said as Yoruichi got back up and Yoruichi nodded as a response. Soifon began to cough hysterically and this triggered Yoruichi to kneel back down and pulled Soifon up into a sitting position and gently began to pat her back, even though it didn't help that much. When she was done Soifon fell back onto her pillow and began to breathe uneven breaths.

"Are you sure you're done" Yoruichi joked nervously. Everyone who knew Yoruichi knew that she was a fearless woman, but those who knew her well enough; they had known one of the only things that scared the Were-cat was Soifon when she was either angry with her, sick or injured. And unfortunately sickness had taken over the poor Captains body today. And on her own birthday no less.

"Y-Yoruichi-sama" Soifon whispered in a somewhat tired voice.

"What is it little bee, what do you need" Yoruichi asked worried. Soifon chuckled quietly, Yoruichi was normally a collected person, but at the moment she was acting like mother doting on her first sick child. Not that Soifon minded though.

"Well for one, please calm down Yoruichi-sama, I doubt you going stir crazy will do us any good" Soifon rasped as she chuckled weakly. Yoruichi smiled, even when she was sick, Soifon could find a way to be rational.

"But I do need *cough cough cough* cough medicine please" Soifon said pointing to her personal bathroom. Yoruichi followed Soifon's slender finger and saw that it was pointing at a cabinet over her sink.

"Ok, I'll be back in a flash" Yoruichi smiled before picking herself up and gracefully walking to the bathroom. She opened the cabinet and saw a few normal bathroom accommodations, such as; a toothbrush, toothpaste, and so forth. But after a brief moment of scanning the cabinet she saw a small bottle filled with a thick, bright red liquid.

"Found it" Yoruichi whispered to herself before grabbing it and heading back to her lovely, sick baby bee. Once by her side once more, Yoruichi read the instructions, and it said to give her one spoonful of the cough syrup. Yoruichi shuddered, she hated cough syrup, especially cherry flavored, but thankfully this one was grape flavored.

"Ok, so I need to give you one spoon full of this stuff, wait here and I'll get a spoon" Yoruichi teased knowing full well that Soifon wouldn't or couldn't move. Soifon caught the joke and weakly rolled her stormy grey eyes before giving her loving kitty a smile. And almost as quickly as she left, Yoruichi was back with a silver kitchen spoon.

"Did you miss me" Yoruichi asked with her playful demeanor as she settled herself on Soifon's bedside. Soifon shook her head,

"Didn't realize you left" Soifon said in a somewhat quiet yet raspy voice. The coughing was beginning to burn her throat. Yoruichi pouted before her rare genuine smile replaced the now non existed pout.

"Well, now that I have returned, its medicine time" Yoruichi cheered and Soifon glared the best she could and stuck her tongue out childishly. Only Yoruichi knew that Soifon hated taking medicine. After carefully filling up the spoon with an even amount of the purple liquid, she hovered it slowly towards Soifon's mouth so that none of the medicine would fall and land on the bed.

"Say ah" Yoruichi cooed. Soifon shook her head,

"No" she whispered loudly, Yoruichi raised her eyebrow,

"Did you say no" and Soifon nodded as conferment. Yoruichi sighed; she didn't think Soifon was going to be stubborn about this. And she even asked for the medicine too, so honestly she shouldn't be refusing anything.

"Weren't you the one who asked for this" Yoruichi asked pointing at the ever still liquid.

"I changed my mind" Soifon said simply before another coughing fit started and scratched her throat even more. Yoruichi frowned, she didn't like seeing the love of her life suffer, and she disliked the fact Soifon was letting herself get worse just because she didn't want to take the medicine. That didn't fly in the black cat's book. So she did something she knew she was going to both hate and love.

"Hey whats that" Yoruichi suddenly shouted. Soifon looked away for a moment, and Yoruichi took that chance to pour the syrup in her mouth and hide the spoon it tasted bad, but she preferred the grape flavor to the cherry any day.

"Yoruichi I don't- mmpphh" but before Soifon could get another word in, Yoruichi kissed Soifon and pried her mouth open with her ever skilled tongue, and let the syrup fill Soifon's mouth before releasing the surprised bee. Yoruichi pulled back and watched with a satisfied grin as Soifon swallowed the medicine and glared at her.

"That was a dirty trick and you know it" she hissed weakly. But Yoruichi simply shrugged it off.

"Hey, it could've been worse, but it was the first thing I thought of" Yoruichi purred. Soifon couldn't hold her glare; she knew Yoruichi just wanted her to get better. Suddenly she yawned, she had become suddenly tired.

"Ah, is my sick bee tired, you should rest" Yoruichi said sweetly.

"Very well then, if you insist, but promise me a few things" Soifon said as she began to adjust herself a little bit. Yoruichi smiled.

"Of course, you name it, it's your birthday and your sick; let me help in any way I can" Yoruichi said with a voice of promise.

"Well, I still have that report due tomorrow, so if you could finish that for me, you would be helping a lot" Soifon had begun before she had another sneezing fit.

"Whats the next thing" Yoruichi chuckled as she passed Soifon an unseen tissue box. Soifon thanked her as she blew her nose and threw the used tissue away.

"I needed to train a few new recruits today who I thought had great potential and I don't trust that fat oaf Omaeda to do something that important, if it wouldn't trouble you too much, please train them for a few hours." Soifon said as her eyes began to close. Yoruichi knew she was going to lose her little bee to sleep soon. It was a very cute sight really. Soifon was trying her best to keep her eyes open, so she could talk to Yoruichi, but every few seconds they would close completely.

"What was next" Yoruichi asked smiling at Soifon dearly.

"Please . . . be here when I . . . I wake . . . up" Soifon said before passing out. Despite her valiant effort to stay awake, sleep had finally overcome her and she had fallen asleep. Since her nose was stuffed up, she was breathing through her mouth, slow and somewhat uneven breathes came out as Soifon slept, but it made her look so cute.

"I promise, but in the meantime, I'm going to do that little list of assignments you gave me" Yoruichi said before kissing Soifon's extremely warm forehead and quietly tiptoeing out of the room and closing the door. And once she was out of the apartment and a third way to Soifon's office, she groaned loudly.

"I hate paperwork" then continued on towards Soifon's office, dreading the work yet to come.

Captain-Kitty: I decided to make this a two shot thing, but I hope you all enjoyed it. And I'll see you on the 11th!

Soifon: I can't believe I'm sick, and on my birthday no less!

Captain-Kitty: don't worry; the next chapter should make up for your illness.

Yoruichi please review and we'll see you Saturday ;3
