Kimi no Kage ni Oikakeru
A/N: okay, I was actually focusing more in finishing my fics for Sailor Moon (read read –nudge nudge-) but reading the past reviews for my Bleach fanfics fired me up to write more, even longer ones. So this is dedicated to my reviewers from MouSukoshi and Manatsu no Hanabi and of course, you, who is reading right now XD. This takes place way before Yoruichi and Urahara left Seireitei, so I guess Soi is still that giddy little girl. It's AU when you think about it…-.-. Expect the appearance on an OC though, that'll spice things up a bit! Er…am I babbling? Anyway, enjoy!
Synopsis: New threats came to Yoruichi, involving the whole Seireitei and Soi Fong. Can the goddess of flash defeat both at the same time? Especially when her little bee is slowly distancing herself from her…
Disclaimer: almost forgot. Bleach no mine!
It was happening again, for the umpteenth times.
A pair of midnight blue irises gazes over at the figures in front of her.
The 12th Division captain, Urahara Kisuke, had came over once again to the Corps Base and was taken to the usual lounging groom to engage in the usual laughter-filled conversations with the heir of the Tenshi Heishouban and also the Captain of the 2nd Division and the Leader of the corps Guards herself, Shihouin Yoruichi.
The unruly haired man had always made it his schedule to come over and have a good laugh over a cup filled of sake or green tea with the tanned woman. The warm affectionate atmosphere the two had around each other felt like blunt knifes to the always watching petite girl.
And that is all that she can do…watch from afar.
Soi Fong ran, half blinded by tears, hardly knowing where she was heading. Her footsteps flew dusts to the air as she ran away from the Shihouin Mansion and subconsciously headed towards the empty, hidden training ground. The training ground was a reserve lot of land, hidden from prying eyes under the heavy authority of Shihouin Yoruichi as the Guundanchou herself. That's why not everyone is allowed entrance here. Soi Fong always thought the calm tranquility that wrapped itself around the place to be relaxing and she often comes here. When she needed alone time to think, without having everyone poking at her spaced-off state.
The petite Chinese girl arrived at one grassy enclosed space hidden from view by several thick trees, which is her personal hideout. The path that leads here is a small tunnel leading from the huge boulder at the training ground. With most, no, all of her co-Onmitsukidou soldiers being bulky, no one had ever come to this place before. It's just a haven, just for her.
Lying on the ground with her hands behind her head, Soi heaved a sigh. The soft breeze around calmed her racing heart. The tears on the corner of her eyes dried, leaving a trail dried tears along her cheeks. Soi doesn't even bother to wipe it away though. Her next practice is not until dawn, and it's pretty much noon at the moment. It'll be a while before she had to face anyone, so why can't she just take it easy and rest for the moment?
Man, she was getting lazy.
Lazy.
"Man Kisuke, you are the embodiment of the word 'Lazy'!"
Her once-relaxed mind was dragged harshly on its ass back towards the incident which she was running away from. She could feel her heart being twisted to tiny little knots.
The midnight blue eyes blinked as she watch the clouds go by overhead.
She, Soi Fong, had been getting strange feelings when she's around her Boss, Youruichi-sama.
No, not the frightened feelings like what other soldiers have when they're around the Shunshin.
And also not the obnoxious-exhilarated kind of feelings Urahara-taichou claimed to have around the purple tinted haired woman either.
It's…very much different. Much much different.
The feeling started as a fondness for the Guundanchou. A reflection of awe at her awesome powers and slowly it develops into something Soi doesn't know what. Doesn't know, or she doesn't want to admit, Soi don't want to get her hopes up yet.
She began to feel nervous when she's around the Shunshin. Her eyes become more aware of what the older woman is doing, her movements, the way she talks, the way she walks, they was her personality changes rapidly from stoic and over-friendly when the Shunshin was around her Little Bee, Soi's pet name from the Guundanchou.
She was touched that Yoruichi-sama had considered her as someone special, and that feelings grew rapidly.
Together with a new emotion that she had a hard time in handling.
Soi Fong, meet jealousy.
The petite girl subconsciously squirm on the ground as a particularly soft breeze blew by.
Is it autumn already? It'll be the 7th autumn she'd spent in the Onmitsukidou.
The oriental girl stood up with a sigh from her once comfortable spot and decided to go move before she got a cramp in her back. She stood up and cricked her neck and wiped the left over trails of dried tears from her eyes. The Chinese girl gave a small chuckle.
She acts tough around her fellow soldiers, but when it comes to Yoruichi-sama, she is pretty much of a softie.
And that is when she heard it.
A loud ear piercing roar filled the air, ringing all alarms in her body.
Her soldier gear kicked in and the small girl leaped into action, following the source of the sound that she knows belongs to a Hollow.
A/N: we're dealing with Soi Fong first now, expect Yoruichi in the next chapter or so. Please leave a review, I need to know what you think so I can decide in continuing or not XD.
