Two Days Later
I got out of the car and stretched, my joints cracking with relief they were no longer cramped. The tedious car ride was finally ended and we were in another town. I looked around taking in my new surroundings. It was a small city full of friendly faces, the streets lined with buildings and stores. In front of me was an apartment building with about 5 floors.
I groaned at the memory of one of my previous homes being in an apartment building. I could always here the people above me with their three screaming children running around at all hours of the night, making sleep nearly impossible. Kisuke cast an odd glance my direction wondering what could have triggered my obvious distaste for a place I had never been to in my life. I cut my eyes to him and he looked away nervously murmuring something about "Why does she need to be relocated? She's plenty scary enough to chase them away…"
I ignored his comment and grabbed my backpack and followed the men up to my apartment. When we got out of the elevator on the third floor, there appeared to be only two living spaces on each floor. 'This is good,' I thought to myself less of a chance for noisy, obnoxious neighbors. Kisuke unlocked the door and walked in, leading Ichigo and myself through the small apartment while explaining the room layout.
When you walked in, there was a small foyer that led to a kitchen on the far right side of the apartment. The next room was furnished as a living room. There was a small wooden coffee table in front of the beige couch and a medium flat screened television across from it hanging on a wall. Following the living room there was a small hall closet and after that the bedroom. It had a queen sized bed, a couple dressers and a medium closet. There was also a bathroom that branched from the bedroom.
I smiled at the little apartment which I would now call my home and set my stuff down on the bed. Kisuke was still droning on about how he had come up with the idea smiling widely at his accomplishment.
He had finally stopped talking when there was a knock on the door. He jumped and squealed with delight as he dashed to the front door leaving me in the room behind a little frightened at his girlish shriek.
"Ms. Shihoin!" he called back to me. I got up and went to meet the mystery guests. There was a large man with long red hair, tattoos on his forehead and a white bandanna tied around his head. He was in a black suit like Ichigo, obviously a good guy. He had been staring at something over my head when I saw him blush, out of the corner of my eye I saw Ichigo look down at the floor and clear his throat blushing. 'Hmm… I wonder what's going on there,' I thought to myself. I extended my hand to the man, "Hello, my name is Yoruichi Shihoin," I greeted politely.
"I know who you are, ma'am. I'm Renji and this is Soifon," Introducing the figure behind him whom I hadn't noticed. She was a small slender girl with short black hair and two long braids flowing down her back. 'How odd a hair style,' I thought. As I was looking her over our eyes met for a moment. They were a gray, misty color, 'Just like Kasumi,' I thought. She extended her hand and I took it, "I am Soifon, your new body guard." She explained.
At that moment, my concentration broke. "Body guard?" I asked irritably, turning my gaze towards the slowly retreating figure in green. "You think I need a bodyguard!?!" I snarled, slowly advancing towards him like a panther about to pounce on its prey.
"W-well… yes! With Staark and his men out looking for you, I didn't know what would happen and if your parents found out you got hurt who knows what would be the outcome!" he tried to explain continuing to backup. The on lookers shuffled their feet uncomfortably as though they were about to witness a fight.
"You think I'm too weak to defend myself? Do you honestly believe I would let them capture me?" I argued, still advancing. He was now backed against the wall and I was reaching for my dagger, still located in my jeans when a pair of strong arms wrapped around me and pulled me back from the petrified figure. I looked up to see Ichigo struggling to keep me in his arms.
"Just deal with it for a couple days! We have Staark's men under surveillance and it shouldn't be long before we can take them out. Just a couple more days, please!" he plead while pushing everyone but Soifon out of the door, Ichigo was still holding on to me and dragged me into the bedroom, threw me in and ran out the apartment door calling behind him, "Sorry! I don't want to die today!"
I heard the door slam and I walked back to the kitchen. The girl was still standing there, making no advances towards me. She was staring straight into my eyes, gauging my reaction. I sighed in defeat. I cleared my throat. "So… eh… Soifon, huh? And you're my… bodyguard?" I asked looking down skeptically at the small girl eying me. She nodded her head and went back to motionlessness. "Right…" I said mostly to myself. I turned and went into the kitchen, calling behind me "Well, you can stand there all day if you'd like, but I'm going to get something to eat." I heard faint footsteps as the girl followed me into the kitchen, sitting at the small table in the middle.
Rummaging through the fridge I found some jelly and in the pantry I found peanut butter and some bread. "You okay with peanut butter and jelly?" I asked casually.
"That will be fine, Ms. Yoruichi," she responded in a machine-like manner. I grimaced at the formality.
"Please, call me Yoruichi. If your going to be my bodyguard and follow me, don't want people thinking you're my slave or something," I said. She simply nodded and waited for her sandwich.
I placed the two plates at the table and a couple glasses of water, and taking off my gun before I sat down. It can be uncomfortable having that clipped to your side after a while. I sighed and sat down picking up my sandwich, casually glancing over at Soifon who was eating hers. I looked away taking a drink of my water.
Suddenly, out of the corner of my eye, I see her quickly swipe the gun off the table, stand up and cock the trigger, aiming at me. I stared in disbelief. "What the hell?!" I shouted half out of anger and half out of fright.
Soifon smiled sweetly at me, tilting her head to the side a little, her eyes like cold steel. I narrowed my eyes at her and kicked her knee, leaned down grabbed my knife and attempted to move it to her neck. Before I could she started laughing and set the gun on the floor as she fell back into her chair in hysterics. Staring in shock at the small laughing girl, she managed to choke out between bursts of laughter, "You should have- seen- your face!" she burst into laughter again, holding her stomach, her face and pink and her eyes watering.
"I can't believe that was all a joke! I hope you can sleep with your eyes open," I said and leaned over the back of her chair, whispering in her ear, "because paybacks a bitch!" I heard her laughter stop, and a shiver run up her spine, and I grinned wildly. I straightened up, replace the gun to the table, and walked out. 'This is going to be an interesting couple of days,' I thought wickedly to myself heading to the couch to watch T.V.
