Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters and stuff, except the story line which was my idea.
Soifon was Shunpo-ing as fast as she could. The object was in sight. She was ecstatic that she was the first to get there, proving once again that she is a force to be reckoned with.
What was in the softly wrapped bundle she didn't know, not many did. The cloth wrapping was white and tied with a string. Being only a few inches wide, a couple inches thick, and 7 inches long, it would be easy to grasp.
It was a race. Yamamoto told her quickly where the white package would be and sent Soifon off as soon as he could. Even though he knew no one in their vicinity could match her pace he sent a few lower ranks to follow, just in case. The men were soon left far behind with their taichou no longer in view. With braids nearly horizontal behind her, she headed towards mountainous terrain. The mysterious object was supposed to be on the highest tip of the very thin ridge right in front of her. At least she was told it was a ridge. Soifon's view made it seem like it could be as thick as any other part of the tree covered mountain. She was coming from its wide side, unable to see that there was just as steep an incline on the other side, with only a few yards of a plateau on top.
Soifon finally made it over the steep incline, making the object in perfect view, seeing as the area around it was clear of trees. By some strange power the white package was floating just above waist height. Seeing it float there in bright sunlight almost made it seem too perfect to the skeptical taichou. She paused slightly as she felt a nice breeze come from her right.
"It's mine!" the black haired girl said in an excited whisper as she reached out her hand to grab it.
"What is yours?" Soifon looked up in shock, her eyes meeting golden irises and violet hair. Yoruichi gave her devilish white smile. Mouth hanging open, stuttering, Soifon looked down.
"Y-your hand...!" The Chinese said softly and in excited confusion. Her pale hand was grabbing that of the Goddess of Flash, which was holding tightly (but not too tight) to the softly wrapped package. White-cream cheeks began to fill with red blood as she realized she was holding onto Yoruichi's hand. Though this scared her, she was unable to let it go.
Still looking at this unusual sight of her hand grabbing that of her master's, Soifon noticed Yoruichi's other hand coming into view. The dark right hand took the white package from her left, the latter which then proceeded to twist around and returned the grip of the pale hand. Soifon's vice-like grip lightened so much that she almost let the unrealistically soft hand go. But Yoruichi's hand tightened. "You can always have it, you know." The last two words weren't a question and she said it while widening her smile.
"H-have what?" Soifon's blushed cheeks were as red as they could get. She was confused, having lost track of any previous conversation that they had. Her eyebrows raised a little. The focus of her eyes was on the Goddess's forehead, which she considered a safe spot. It wasn't her golden eyes where Soifon was afraid of what she would see and wasn't even sure if she could hold their gaze, and it wasn't her lips which she was afraid she might... well... she was already confused enough, she didn't need to become a blabbering idiot.
"My hand," was the exasperated reply as a "duh" expression spread across Yoruichi's face.
"Uh," seemed to be all Soifon could muster.
But she did finally close her mouth and swallow - not to mention it probably wouldn't look the greatest if she started to drool now.
"Come," was all the Goddess of Flash said before beginning to Shunpo and, quite literally, dragging her Little Bee with her.
Important A/N:
I'm extremely new to this. In fact, when I signed up here I wasn't expecting to ever write a story, but this idea struck me while reading other Yorusoi stories. So I decided to write my idea and it kept growing and growing, so I figured I might as well post it.
I've only watched 2 complete Bleach episodes (1 and 57) and have only read 10 or so chapters of the manga. But I have watched quite a few other clips on YT. Most of my knowledge about these characters has probably come from reading fanfic here on this sight, and perhaps by some of you reading this. So, I'm not exactly sure what is canon and what is fanon - please excuse my ignorance. If something doesn't make sense, just go with it. lol. That's not to say that I wouldn't like to be corrected if I get a name wrong or something that is so clear cut. Help would be sincerely appreciated. There are many original terms with Bleach and some are still a bit confusing to me. I'm definitely in over my head, but I'm going to try and make it work.
There is definitely going to be more chapters - some are already written, but I still need to get some ideas for the next couple. They will likely be longer, this one was surprisingly short.
Please review! I'd love some constructive criticism! (I think I'll put some details about that in my profile later.) This is the first (fictional) story I've written and let people read, so please comment. I'll also be considerate of whatever ideas you have about what should happen next, as I've yet to flesh everything out.
I think that's all I have to say. Sorry for the really long note - they'll be much shorter from now on, if existent.
P.S. Concerning the title... I couldn't decide what to call it, but it actually works with part of the story later so I kept it. just fyi
Edit 6/15/10: I started watching Bleach a couple days after posting this.
