Chapter 1

-I Felt Something-

(Shun-Yoshi)

(A.N: Alright so I had this idea when I was watching Bleach just a few hours ago ad had this really good idea for this and decided to show my readers what I was thinking. I has some Yuri in it much like my other story Crossing Paths, but I'm sure you all knew that one. But anyways the way I have this chapter set up is it's narrated from the main character's(Shun-Yoshi Tadashi) Point of view. For each chapter the narration will change based on the chapter no two chapters will be narrated by the same person in a row. Sorry that's just how I had this brain baby. But to make the POV a bit easier to understand I put the name of who it is in the parenthesis under the chapter number and title. I plan update these chapters every other day at around 9pm. sorry I can't update earlier school and stuff gets in the way T_T. If you have any questions PM me and I'll be happy to respond. Without further Ado here's "Stay with me" Chapter one. ENJOY)

Bleach does not belong to me neither have I any rights to their characters I just use them to make stories. Don't sue me please. T_T

It was a very exciting life that I chose. Everyone that I knew was totally against it, but I didn't give a damn. I wanted to be a soul reaper and that's what I was sure a hell going to be. I wanted to be the very best soul reaper there was, EVER! One of my friend's father was in the 13 court guard squads, in squad 13 commanded by captain Ukitake. He would tell us all about his precious captain and how awesome he was. Most importantly about the festival the seireitei was having. He said it was a day the seireitei was welcoming the families and friends of the shinigamis that worked there. he told us it was on Monday and that we could come.

Unfortunately it was only Saturday when he told us. Monday couldn't have come fast enough. As I thought of ways to prepare for Monday I got my outfit ready. I knew my ego was going to take over and I was going to challenge someone. I laid out a pair of dark green cargo pants and a grey tank top with my traditional Chinese shoes my mother got me for special occasions. the pants were accompanied by a red sash belt and matching wrist cuffs, both weighted. I liked the outfit very much and I knew that they all matched nicely and were comfortable, despite the weight. I spent all of Saturday readying that one outfit. I was proud of it and no one could tell me otherwise.

Sunday was a different story. since it was the seireitei day off my friends father came home and was all happy and excited about tomorrow, just as much as we were. I was more than excited to get to meet everyone and hopefully one day be apart of their squads like my brother he was in the stealth punishment force he was a very skilled guy that taught me everything I know but he was killed in a mission a while ago. I am still kind of angry about that but it was bound to happen. I really want to meet his stern ' ruled with an iron fist commander. soi-fon, I want to meet her, have an awesome sparring match then bring up my brother.

I am sure she remembers him, he was her lieutenant after all. After hanging with my friend and his father. I went home to train for that morning. I was so pumped I was going to meet my idol's idol. I couldn't wait, sleep was almost impossible if I hadn't passed out at about 8:30pm. Monday morning. I got up early, but not too early. got in the tub and then got dressed. I was so ready to go. when my friend and his father came to get me I almost ran out the door. my friend, who's name I forgot to mention which is Hayate, saw me he smiled and hugged me like usual. we walked closely talking about how awesome this was going to be and when we got there. there were shinigamis everywhere along with people I had seen in town and people I had never seen before.

I liked how the mood was cheery and what not. Everyone was laughing and talking. I loved the feeling of that place. I briefly wondered what it was like without all these people there, before hayate dragged me by the hand to some stairs. mostly young men almost at their middle twenties came down from and went up the stairs followed by a few women accompanying them. "that's squad 2's barrack." he said smiling and staring in awe, just like I was. "we should come here last to have fun then get down to business..who knows captain soi-fon may just pick you to be on her squad" he laughed a little.

I smiled a little and snickered. "yeah come on. business later." hayate grabbed my hand again and we walked to another place. it looked like the 10ths barrack. "this is captain Hitsugaya's squad, squad 10" hayate walked in and stayed close to me. I smiled, he was so protective of me. he didn't even want anyone to look at me the wrong way without facing his wrath. "hey kids looking for someone?" a lady said. hayate and me shook our heads "oh well, you want a tour?" she asked smiling. hayate looked at me and I nodded eagerly and so did he. she turned and started walking into the building. as we walked I looked at her noticeable features to remember who she was.

her hair was a dark orange it reached to about her middle back, and her breast were enormous. it made me think of my own chest size..just barely above flat. I sighed and hayate raised an eyebrow in question to my distasteful sound. I waved it off as we entered the building. "so what are your names?" she asked looking over to us with a cheery sound in her voice. hayate spoke up first as usual. "my name is hayate" she smiled and looked to me. "my name is shun-yoshi..but shun for short is okay too." she smiled "nice names you two. my name is lieutenant Rangiku Matsumoto of squad 10. nice to meet yah."hayate and I both gasped

"you're a lieutenant?!" rangiku smiled putting a hand on her hip. "yeah. do I not look the part?" I raised my eyebrows contemplating to say yes or not. hayate answered before I could respond. "shouldnt you be more..intimidating like her?" he pointed to the tall lean female at the end of the hall with the tan skin and the orange jacket and purple hair. the woman he pointed to looked down the hall at us curiously. "oh you mean yoruichi? she's like that because she is a hand to hand combat specialist and at one point was captain of squad 2 she's really fun you two should meet her." she waved to yoruichi who looked next to her smiled and said goodbye to whoever it was and came to us.

she reached us. "hey rangiku what's up?" she smiled. I noticed her golden eyes and blushed before looking away. she was gorgeous I thought "giving these two a tour. I said they should meet you." yoruichi smiled a toothy grin "oh that's cool rangiku. the names yoruichi shihoin. nice to meet you two." hayate smiled and shook her hand smiling brightly. "my name is hayate. and this is my best friend shun I'm sure she's more than pleased to meet you." he pushed me forward to greet her. I was completely shocked. I almost felt the need to praise her there and then. she was exactly who I wanted to be like in the future.

"shun-yoshi tadashi nice to meet you." I said as calmly as possible but the words came out all wrong and out of order. I was so nervous. the woman laughed. "a bit nervous huh?" I nodded frantically. "well you know what gets me unnerved?" I shook my head and looked up at her. she smiled and put a hand on my shoulder. " a good ol' spar." she laughed after that. my eyes widened. i couldn't believe my ears. had they played tricked on me? or was this real. hayate stepped in happily for my lack of words "she totally knows how to hold her own. she came here to ask to spar with captain soi-fon." I heard those words and I felt every blood cell rush to my face and i looked down nervously.

rangiku and yoruichi looked at each other. "she's that good?" rangiku asked looking at me with a questionable look. hayate nodded smiling widely and i had the need to run out and never return but then I would be abandoning everything I hoped of accomplishing in life. so I stood rooted in place, face as red as my sash, and head down. yoruichi looked at me and smiled "so shun. how about that match?" I looked up at the golden eyed woman with surprise. I was expecting that she would have protested my ambitions. "you mean it?" I asked shocked still. she nodded "if you want to be able to get to soi-fon then you have to get through me." she pointed proudly to herself

"I did train soi-fon after all." my jaw dropped and I fell to my knees. 'I just met my idol's idol trainer….best day ever.' I yelled in my head. I couldn't tell how long I was out but I was out long enough for hayate to tell them I basically worshipped soi-fon and anyone around her closely. yoruichi smiled kindly and helped me up after my little episode of shock. "so you still up for that match?" she asked which brought me back to reality and out of whatever trance I was in. to get pumped enough to answer with enthusiasm "oh yeah!" hayate smiled and followed behind me and yoruichi along side rangiku.

yoruichi had her arm over my shoulder as we walked and she talked about a lot of things. she talked about herself, some guy named ichigo I should meet and soi-fon and another lady named kukaku who is apparently a 'blast' to be with. I had no idea what she meant but acted like I did to save her from explaining. we got to an open area where the cherry blossom trees bloomed and the petals scattered themselves all over the grass. It was very peaceful. I breathed in the air and sighed contently. "this is where myself and soi-fon trained before she became captain. so if you have any hope of becoming like her or even greater than her you have to start where she did."

I nodded looking around at the few people that decided it was okay to chill under the beautiful trees. " if you want you don't have to hold back. just be mindful of your surroundings. okay?" the tan woman stated in a more serious tone. I nodded taking off my shoes and socks. fighting with shoes was so uncomfortable to me so I took them off and I could tell yoruichi was a bit curious about what I did so I took liberty to explain. "fighting with shoes or anything on my feet feels uncomfortable and throws off my balance so I take them off." yoruichi nodded smirking at this new information. "whenever you're ready shun go for it. first down for more than three seconds wins"

I nodded and at that moment i dashed at her half force which I thought was fast enough, I couldn't go any faster with the weights on me either, it was enough to surprise her and she quickly dodged my kick which was indeed was a straightforward attack. she dodged and counter attacked with using the force of the speed I came at her with against me and firmly put her arm in the way of my kick and swing to hard up that I flipped back landing on my feet. "you got some speed there shun. I like that." she commented smirking. I rushed at her again this time disappearing before reaching her and reappearing behind her attempting a trip but she easily avoided it but wasn't expecting me to just simply grab her leg. and yank it far enough back to get her in the falling motion not letting go of her leg.

once half way down i flipped just high enough to get her in a leg lock which she again got out of and turned it against me. it happened so fast that i barely felt the pain until after. i got out of it and back up a few yards. "nice work shun. but you can do better i know it." yoruichi encouraged a grin on her face. i thought for only mere seconds before i noticed yoruichi wasn't in front of me like i had last saw her. i sensed her behind me. her leg coming toward my head at high speeds. i had no time to dodge so i blocked it with my fore arm. she smiled that i blocked successfully and counter attacked with a round-house kick holding her leg.

she dodged though and flashed out my grip. I was surprised momentarily but noticed her flash to me with such speed that time I couldn't evade. i wasn't fast enough. and as I was hit in the back I went flying into the wall and kinda sat there for a second. yoruichi let her guard down thinking it was over when i flashed to her and tackled her to the ground and landed on top of her. she looked shocked but smiled after realizing what just happened. "you have got some skill shun. I can say that. and if you are trained you could be one of the best." yoruichi said laughing a bit that she lost.

i beamed with happiness but the position looked a bit wrong we were in. i was over yoruichi my hands on either side of her body and i realized we were really close. i blushed and got up quickly getting a bit embarrassed by how close we were. yoruichi noticed it and laughed she leaned on my shoulder and whispered in my ear. "don't worry shun. no harm no foul" i blushed a bit and smiled knowing that there was nothing to worry about. yoruichi smiled to rangiku and a few others that gathered to watch our small sparring match. "she's good in my book." rangiku smiled and gave her the thumbs up. hayate ran up to me and hugged me.

picking me up as he did so. "you did so well shun! your brother would be so proud!" i smiled softly yoruichi raised an eyebrow and cautiously asked "your brother?" i nodded "yeah.. he was the one who trained me." she nodded "i give him props then. i'd love to get a chance to meet him." i smiled a bit sadly. "i think if you spend even a while here you would have met him." i laughed a little. "well what's his name?" rangiku asked smiling wanting an answer badly. "Hideaki Tadashi." i answered and both women's eyes widened. "hideaki is your brother? lieutenant Tadashi was your brother?" rangiku said in disbelief and i nodded.

"He taught me everything i know." rangiku felt bad for me and i knew she did. "im so sorry for your loss. he was really a great guy. me and him were very close." rangiku said. yoruichi nodded "yeah i knew him too. he was really cool." i nodded " yeah. well i know he wouldn't want me to be all sad and stuff about him i know he would want me to be happy. so thats exactly what im doing." rangiku smiled and so did yoruichi. "nice way of thinking positively." yoruichi commented and started walking. rangiku was confused why she walked off "where are you going?" she yelled. yoruichi yelled over her shoulder. "im going to tell soi-fon she has a new potential lieutenant pupil."

i smiled and ran after her and hayate followed but rangiku didn't. "i think i will catch up later. i'll see you when you come back." and rangiku left and we, me and hayate, followed youichi to the stairs again and she walked up skipping stairs and we followed quickly. my heart beated faster the closer we got to the top and when we got to the top my heart skipped a beat seeing how beautiful the grounds were. it was breath taking no wonder hideaki never wanted to come home. i would want to stay if i could too. as yoruichi made her way down the rest of the stairs a few men saluted her and even bowed in respect. the guards we pasted on the way into the main building they bowed deep greeted her with "hello Yoruichi-dono"

she smiled and waved to them going in casually. hayate grabbed my hand noticing the look we were getting from some of the men. he death glared at them for looking at me like that. i just loved the way he got so mad when people looked at me the wrong way. we reached a door and yoruichi knocked ,a wide grin on her face. "hey soi-fon~," she called. "come in." was the surprised sounding voice. i stopped and took a deep breath knowing i was finally going to meet her. yoruichi opened the door and walked in us in tail. "yoruichi what brings you here?" the woman behind the desk asked. her hair was a raven color with two long braids. she was small.

i imagined her to be taller but i was okay with that. her eyes were gray and hard. her gaze was soft looking at yoruichi, probably because she has history with her "oh, i was just dropping off a very talented, very determined girl that will more than likely meet your standards." she grabbed me by my shoulders and sat me in the chair in front of her. i blushed feeling soi-fon look over me. i felt my body shaking with nervousness. she stood from her desk. "stand up." she said calmly and i did so immediately. she was incredibly shorter than i thought but we were almost eye level i was a bit taller. but by the look on her face she didn't give a damn.

"so what's your name?" she stood in front of me leaning on her desk. "my name is shun-yoshi tadashi." apparently she had heard my name before and she looked at me a bit differently. "oh so you're her...the little sister tadashi never shut up about." i nodded a bit happily. "he never told me that you could fight." she folded her arms over her chest which i just noticed was about the same size as mine. my brothers words echoed in my head. 'if anyone asks who trained you it wasn't me got it.' i contemplated lying but decided on the truth. "yeah, he taught me everything i know. and i spent a couple of years in the shinigami school but dropped out because of financial issues." soi-fon nodded then turned her gaze to yoruichi.

"So i take it that since you brought her here that she got you." yoruichi nodded scratching the back of her head. "yeah she did get the slip on me. i'll tell you the full story later." soi-fon nodded unfolding her arms. again looking to me. "you seem to have a lot of spiritual energy as well." i raised an eyebrow. "i..do?" i barely knew what she just said. "hm..seems you need to know that basics as well." soi-fon closed her eyes re- folding her arms and took a rather thoughtful stance. i glanced at hayate and he smiled to comfort me and i smiled back. soi-fon's voice snapped me back to look at her. "i can train you. teach you the basics and in no time you can take your brothers place."she smirked and i unconsciously hugged her.

"thank you captain soi-fon! i won't let you down!" before i could even register what i just did i noticed her hand on top of my head and she hugged me back. despite hugging a complete stranger.. the hug felt right. like i was suppose to do that. but i let go thinking it was just my imagination. but felt a bit empty after releasing the small woman. There was a sort of ache in my chest that cried for me to hug her again but I knew that would be awkward in all degrees. the small woman looked at yoruichi in a way that make her nod and she took her and hayate out. and she shut the door behind her.

"alright since you're my new little protege then you have options. you can live with the rest of the men in the the seireitei but i wouldn't recommend that. or you could stay with me in my place. i wouldn't mind that. and finally there's the options of staying at your house and coming here everyday to train and then leave." i thought for a while. the men were all so..manly i would be so uncomfortable. that was out the question. living with soi-fon. i wondered if my brother lived with her or was she doing this because she actually wanted the best for me. and going home and coming back everyday was a long walk everyday.

and the most convenient option was to live with soi-fon. but i couldn't leave hayate out there by himself. "living with you is the most convenient but i'm worried about my friend hayate." she raised an eyebrow. "well i suppose i could arrange somewhere he could stay but it will be hard. dont get your hopes up." i nodded and smiled a light blush on me face. "thank you captain." she nodded. "well you can go get your things and you can move in tonight i'll send a few of my men to help with that."i nodded and she smiled. she was cute. i couldn't believe that i thought that at first but i let the protest slip away as she walked behind her sat back down in the chair.

"also tell yoruichi that she is welcome as well." she continued to do her paper work. i bowed "yes ma'am." then headed for the door grabbing the knob i heard her voice. "if im not home by the time you get there make yourself comfortable. just dont mess anything up." i nodded " yes captain." and i left the room closing the door behind me. i was moving in with her and being personally trained by her. my life couldn't get any better. i laid on the door frame and just smiled. "so how did it go?" hayate asked excitedly. i had to address yoruichi before anything. "captain soi-fon said that you're welcome at her house tonight and that her men will come and get my stuff to move in tonight and she said that she would train me" yoruichi nodded with a smirk.

hayate hugged me tightly. "She also said that you could stay here too hayate." he smiled "really?" he blushed a little bit. "well i wouldn't really wanna trouble you at all you can do what you got to and then you can tell me about it in your free time." i smiled softly and hugged him back. "what about you and your wanting to protect me?" he smiled. "well i use to, then you joined the 13 court guard squads and you didn't need me anymore." i held him tightly. "well okay. but if you can stay will you?" he nodded "of course if they let me.. because I'm just kind of free-loading im of no real use. i wouldn't be surprised if they kicked me out for breathing the seireitei air." he laughed and i laughed along with him.

after having the absolute best day of my life i went home that night and told hayate's dad and my mother and father what happened. hayate's father was happy for me and was very surprised. My mother and father weren't as happy for me as he was. i came in bursting through the door like i was running from a hollow. my parents looked at me with surprise. "i take it you had a really good day?" my mother asked as she was doing the dishes. i nodded out of breath. "yeah i have great news!" my father looked at me turning his eyes away from the television. "what's the great news?" he smiled looking at me from the couch.

"okay, now you have to promise not to be mad okay?" they looked at each other and i knew from that moment how all this was going to go down hill. So i put on my calmest voice and cutest face. "i got accepted into the 13 court guard squads. in division 2 like hideaki. and the men are coming to move me out tonight." i expected them to yell at me but i just got a simple "no, you can't join. they will just have to get someone else" from my mother. and a slightly angry "so you want to follow your brother's footsteps..to the grave alright." i wanted to tell them just in case i just left which i thought i was going to have to do. so i just shrugged it off and went to my room and started packing my things.

as i was packing my things i was slightly sad that my parents would be mad at me but i quickly got over it because i was going to be getting somewhere in life, unlike them. i don't want anyone to get the wrong idea but i love my parents i really do but living here, doing nothing, i will never accomplish anything or meet anyone new, like captain soi-fon. i stopped mid thought and wondered why i thought of captain soi-fon at a time like this. i then remembered the hug and how nice it felt. i wanted to hug her again but then i thought about how weird that would be just to ask for a hug from your commander and trainer.

i quickly dismissed the thought as i heard a ruckus in the front of the house. i heard my father's voice and some other man. " she has to come with us. she has been summoned by the head captain!" the man yelled. "i dont give a damn who she was summoned by she's my daughter she isn't going any goddamn where!" my father yelled stepping into the ninja looking male's face. "dad!" i yelled running in between them. "stop it! there isn't anything you can do to stop me. this is what i want to do! why can't you and mom just let me be happy?!" i screamed at my ropes end with them both.

My father looked at me for a while and sighed, "we lost hideaki...we don't want to lose you to." i felt bad i yelled for the reason he gave. "mom , dad nothing is going to happen to me. i promise. and if something were to happen i will make sure with my life that you both will know first. okay." my dad looked at my mom and she hesitantly nodded. "alright shun. you go baby girl and you better come and visit often." i smiled happily hugging him, he kissed my forehead and let me go run to get my things. i kissed my mother goodbye and said i would be back sooner than she thought. and did the same to my father before meeting up with the two men that waited rather patiently for me. one took my bag and the other walked close to me just as hayate would do.

which brought up my thoughts to my best friend. i looked to the guy on my left. "was hayate moved in as well?" he men exchanged looks. "oh not that we know of. i don't think so though. head captain doesn't take kindly to freeloaders." i nodded coming to the conclusion i would be alone during my training. but of course it was going to be that way. As we reached the seireitei i felt comforted for some reason. i ignored this feeling as we headed for a big building that we didn't visit while here early. "so where are we going?" i asked in general to either of them. the guy carrying my bag answered "the head captain wants to meet you" i swallowed hard and sighed. i didn't think i was going to meet him until later.

Walking up the stairs i got more and more nervous but hid it nicely. i was going to meet the guy that is the head of all the captains. i was scared and excited at the same time. when we reached the doors. the guy on my left knocked. a very manly voice answered "come in!" the two men opened the door and allowed me to go inside a man with a long white beard and long white eyebrows with a cross scar on his head holding a cane of some sort. "So you are hideaki's little sister. shun-yoshi." the man said. i nodded i had no idea who he was. "my name is head captain yamamoto." i bowed in respect. "so i was informed that you will be staying with soi-fon and being trained by her. is this correct?"

i nodded. "yes sir that is correct" he opened his eyes and looked at me. his eyes were cold and emotionless it sent a shiver down my spine. "that means that you have to be skilled like your brother," his look softened a bit. "sorry for your loss. he will be missed dearly."i nodded trying to not let my calm shell break. "but because you're his sister doesn't mean you will get special treatment. you have to earn it just like he did" i nodded understanding. "don't worry head captain i will do my best to not let you down" i bowed deep.

he nodded dismissing me and left and the two men were outside the door waiting for me. they escorted me to soifon's house and they dropped my bag at the door and left. i carried my bag in the house. it was really nice. very organized and clean. and from the dead silence i guessed no one was there. i laid on the couch taking off my socks and sighed. knowing my true test began tomorrow. i closed my eyes dozing off for a while then waking up to the sound of someone walking in.

"you awake?" she asked coming into the living room and looking over me. i opened my eyes and blushed, it was soi-fon. i sat up quickly rubbing my eyes. "oh captain soi-fon i-" she cut me off. "no need to be so jumpy i just asked if you were awake." i shook my head. " come on shun" she went into another room. her bedroom. i wasn't sure what she wanted me to do in here. her bed was huge for her a queen size with raven colored sheets that looked like silk. she went into her drawer and rummaged through it for a minute. before pushing me back on the bed and putting a pair of pajamas on my lap. "i'm getting in the shower. get changed into something more comfortable." she headed into her bathroom with her towel shutting the door behind her.

i looked at the pajamas. a pair of dark blue pants and a matching button up shirt. it had the initials 'H.T' on the left side on the shirt and the same on the right on the pants. they were my brother's so that means that he lived here too. i put the pajamas on and they were too big but i liked it. i smelled like him. i laid down in her bed and curled up thinking about what type of relationship hideaki could have had with soi-fon.

when soi-fon came out out the shower in a tank top and a pair of shorts a towel around her head to dry her hair. i glanced at her then blushed at how she really looked. the shorts and shirt hugged her body tightly her wet hair messed up a bit. her toned arms and legs were still wet from the shower. i could feel myself getting hot. she noticed i was staring. "what?" she asked looking directly at me. i shook my head and buried my head deep into one of the super soft pillows. she smirked. "you are too much like your brother." she said as she climbed into bed.

i looked at her to ask what she meant but i decided on a better question. "what kind of relationship did you have with my brother?" she stayed quiet for a bit. assuming she didn't want to answer she changed the subject. "you will have to wake up early tomorrow i suggest getting some rest." i sighed unhappy with not getting an answer but went to sleep anyways.

i dreamt about my brother that night. the last time i had saw him, we were training and then we started playing. he took me to eat and then we went home and he had to leave. i started crying knowing that was the last time i would see him. i woke up dim rays of sunlight came through the shades. i noticed i was alone in bed i got up and went to the kitchen. soi-fon was there sitting at the island counter having some tea. she smiled "morning shun." i smiled "morning captain. i guess you have been up a while?" she nodded sipping her tea "yes, ive been up since 4:30 " i thought of what time it was and i sighed. it was only 5:56 "you may want to get ready were leaving at 6:15" i yawned "yes ma'am." and headed to get my training cloths ready. soi-fon headed into her room and the next minute i saw her she was dressed in her full uniform. "you get to the training grounds and i will meet you there. i have a captain's meeting to attend." i nodded "okay. i'll see you soon." she nodded leaving right after that. i sighed bringing my thoughts back to what soi-fon was to my brother. were they just friends? were they much more? it hurt to think about so with a heavy sigh i got dressed and looked for something to eat.

i looked in the fridge. she must be a vegetarian. i thought looking at no meat in the fridge whatsoever except for fish. it was interesting. i grabbed a few apples and juggled them as i walked out. hideaki taught me to do so and i proudly did it when i could. it was nice doing something he taught me beside fighting. as i walked out of the house i saw that it was still relatively dawn. i walked along the path i remembered that would take me to the area where soi-fon would train me. the road was pretty much bare. as i passed the different looking buildings and barracks i saw the captains all leave to the captains meeting.

some gave me a side glance others waved and smiled. which i returned in kindness. when i got to where i was going i laid in the grass and meditated. i had no idea how long i was out for i just know that by the time i opened my eyes i was next to soi-fon. who was also meditating. i opened my eyes and blushed intensely at how close we were. her knee was on mine and she seemed to be perfectly okay with this. i took a deep breath trying to calm myself then i thought about how i was going to handle how she fought. if i could barely stand next to her for a minute without freaking out i wouldn't be able to handle how she moved ever so swiftly through combat.

i went back to meditating to calm my nerves and it worked slightly until i felt a hand on top of my head. "alright come on." she said calmly and i got up barely comprehending what was going to happen. "alright now since this is only day one. i am going over the basics. no fighting today." i sighed in slight relief as i watched her sit across from me.

she began talking and i listened carefully every so often accidently looking in the wrong places before quickly averting my eyes back to her face. but over all i was listening and when she was done she told me to recite everything she told me to the best of my abilities she must have known i was staring a bit. Yet, even though i had a few small blank outs i managed some how to say everything exactly how she said it to me. she nodded and stood up. "alright any questions?" she folded her arms. i looked up at her from the ground. i really wanted to ask her to give me an answer to last night's question, but i decided to bring it up later. i shook my head and also stood.

"are you hungry?" she asked walking out the area with her signature frown on her face. i wanted to say no but i was so use to eating at least 4 times a day that my stomach protested my original answer by growling loudly. i blushed and nodded. soi-fon sighed and picked up her pace i followed behind keeping a respectable distance and so i could watch her walk, i thought i was really low for this. we reached some sort of store. it looked rather expensive. i looked to her. she handed me some money. her head turned away from me and her eyes closed as she leaned against the wall to the store. "go get what you want." she said sternly.

i took the money smiling a bit and nodded going into the store.

there was pretty much everything in there. but since i didn't want to seem like a mooch and take all her money i got only a few candy bars and some pop. With a lot of what she gave me left over. i went back outside to her sipping on a cherry pop i had got and offered her the change. she looked at the change and waved it off "keep it." and she walked off. i caught up with her putting the money in my pocket. we weren't headed to the barrack and neither to her house. so i had to Figure we were running errands which was her daily life. I guess.

i quietly followed eating my treats she let me buy. we went almost everywhere in the seireitei. and when we got back to our own barrack it was well into the night. and she lead me into training area. "come on," she took off her yellow obi and threw her captain's haori off and stripped off the top of her shinigami uniform. she had on the punishment squad uniform. the back and shoulders were all open. it showed her toned arms and back. i blushed a little. i took off my socks and shoes and my weighted belt and wrist cuffs.

"alright shun, i want you to fight me just how you fought yoruichi. don't be afraid to go all out." she smirked and took her stance. i took mine also and attacked first. we spent all night and the rest of our nights together in my childhood and my middle teen years training all out at night in that area. and i enjoyed every moment of it. i couldn't ask for a better life. i supposed it was safe to say that i worshipped soi-fon by then and i devoted my entire life to be like her if not better. and i practiced constantly to make sure that would one day come true.
