Paring: Yoruichi/Soifon
M Rated For language and strong sexual themes; although I will up the rating for future chapters that have sexual themes in them it won't be suitable for kids.
Disclaimer: I donot own Bleach.
Author's Note: I'm sorry I haven't updated any of my fics lately, but be on the lookout for another chapter of Deception before the ending of next week. This is the last two weeks of school for me until summer school. I've been swamped by preparing for finals here at my university but I will get around to updating the rest of my fics soon. Check profile for schedule posting and this time I will do my best to stick to those deadlines.
Please write a review and let me know what you think. This chapter has not been beta read either so please excuse the mistakes.
Special thanks to Vally27, this entire fic is based on one of the drabbles, I Object, that she wrote this past year, Deeply, Truly, Madly- which I highly recommend you read if you're a YoruSoi fan.
Chapter 2
"I can't believe this is happening," Yoruichi grumbled to herself as sped out of the direction to the Fon's estate. Her golden eyes remained narrowed in anger as she wondered why her mother kept this from her in the first place. She pressed a button on her cell phone allowing the speaker phone to ring though out her car.
"Shinko Enterprise this is Rei speaking. How may I direct your call?" a cherry voice chimed through the receiver.
"Rei this is Yoruichi speaking. Could you put me in touch with my mom I really need to talk to her," Yoruichi started attempting to mask her anger in her voice.
"Oh Miss Shihouin I'm sorry but she's in a board meeting with the entire staff. I could switch you to her voice mail if you'd like. That way she'll be able to call you back once she's done."
Yoruichi clenched her steering wheel, frustrated that her mom's own secretary was actually putting her off too. She bit her bottom lip in an attempt to smooth over her tone of voice once more. "No that's ok Rei. I think I'll pay her a little visit in the meeting instead. I do have to learn the board members after all," Yoruichi answered.
"Of course I understand Miss Shihouin. I'll be sure to have an itinerary ready for you once you get here," Rei chimed.
"Thanks I'm looking forward to it," Yoruichi grinned already planning her next move once she stepped into the board meeting. 'I'm going to get to the bottom of this,' she thought to herself as she cut another car off with ease, which earned her another loud honk by the car in back of her.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"If each of you would carefully look at our sales report you'll see that Shinko Enterprise would actually benefit from this opportunity with Otsuka. Their companies offer isn't a demanding price unlike others but it is just starting out," a short man will a bald head spoke as he carefully stared at the violet haired woman that was seated at the head of the table.
Naoko scanned through the portfolio that was in her hand then gave her financial director a questioning look. "Akashi are you sure this is all Fon is requesting?" Naoko's golden eyes glanced up from the portfolio incuriously; she didn't want to believe her CFO's analysis.
"I had a feeling you would say that, so I arranged a meeting for our company and the Fon's to discuss matters further," Akashi smiled at his boss, but within seconds his smile faded noticing the slight frown on the woman's face he knew that she wasn't happy by his announcement.
Naoko balled her fist up in anger at the thought of her board member making plans without her consent. She narrowed her eyes and was just about to say something until the front door to the room opened with a loud clang.
All eyes were now on Yoruichi as she walked into the board room her eyes also showing the same glare her mother was now giving Akashi.
"Why didn't you tell me the truth?" Yoruichi demanded at the elder Shihouin while her arms were crossed as she walked right to the head of the table.
"What are you talking about?" Naoko questioned her left eye brow quirked up at the younger version of herself as she watched her daughter sit down in an empty seat to her right.
"You know what I'm talking about…..
"Yoruichi we are in the middle of a meeting. I have no idea what's got you so upset but business has to be handled first young lady," Naoko interjected her daughter before Yoruichi could say another word. Elder golden eyes narrowed back at younger ones in anger disregarding the fact that Yoruichi was glaring daggers back at her.
Yoruichi bit her lip in frustration while cursing silently that she wouldn't be able to get a word out just yet. She leaned back in the leather executive chair without giving her mothers another look.
The entire board room remained silent awaiting Naoko's orders despite the fact that it now appeared that the entire atmosphere had shifted within a mere seconds by Yoruichi's loud outburst. Each of the twelve board members warily stared at Naoko awaiting her reply.
"Continue Akashi," Naoko sighed as she flipped through the portfolio once more. She momentarily glanced to her right at her daughter. The eldest Shihouin was puzzled by the younger woman's actions. 'I wonder what's gotten into you now.'
Akashi coughed briefly while flipping through another page in his presentation. "I sincerely feel our company would benefit from this venture considering we don't have to question Fon's integrity he was this company's former vice president after all."
"No but you may want to question the integrity of the present CEO. What kind of person lies to their own flesh and blood?" Yoruichi grumbled as she let out a light chuckling catching everyone's attention.
"Everyone take a break now!" Naoko demanded her voice now a snarl as her eyes narrowed at the younger version of herself.
Without any words exchanged all of the board members hastily walked out of the room, closing the door behind them. Akashi took one look back at the duo and shook his head, he had a feeling it would be a while before the meeting would be continuing again. The door shut within seconds leaving Yoruichi alone with her mother.
The goddess stood up from her seat her eyes also narrowed with her arms crossed. She knew how to press her mother's buttons in order to get her attention and she knew one thing Naoko didn't like was being disrespected in front of her subordinants.
"What's gotten into you?" Naoko growled her fist balled up at the thought of what just happened in her meeting.
"Why couldn't you tell me the truth?" Yoruichi asked her voice a snarl.
"What are you talking about?" Naoko said as she quirked an eye brow up at the younger woman. She was puzzled by her daughter's behavior.
"What's up with keeping secrets from me about Soi? You knew she was getting married and you still never told me." Yoruichi explained.
"Oh I see so that's what's got you all bent out of shape," Naoko smiled sheepishly while shaking her head.
"Mom I'm serious! Why didn't you tell me this?" Yoruichi inquired she was confused about why her mother would keep this from her in the first place. She knew her mother knew how she felt about Soi.
Naoko sighed as she ran a hand through her purple locks in frustration. "I didn't tell you because this entire situation couldn't be helped."
"What do you mean this situation couldn't be helped?"
"Yoruichi after you left for America Soi's father was already out raged that his daughter was seeing you and the fact that you broke her heart. So in order to save face Fon managed to arrange a marriage for his daughter in hopes of gaining more power for his own company. I didn't tell you about Soi getting married because I knew you had enough already on your mind," Naoko started. "And I knew you would have stopped everything you were doing in America to come back for her."
"So you sacrifice keeping a secret from me instead of telling me the truth? Mom, my life isn't a business deal you know that," Yoruichi hissed feeling her anger grow more. She was pissed that her mother never told her the truth.
"Your right it isn't but you have to learn to balance the two Yoruichi. I never forced you to go to America to start Shinko's third office there. Your father and I would have been happy regardless of your decision, but like everything you do I let you make your own decisions," Naoko said gently rubbing her daughter's hand. "But regardless this will all work out in the end."
Yoruichi was just about to say something but was cut off when the intercom came on within the room. "Mrs. Shihouin, Mr. Fon from the Otsuka Company is here with his board for the negotiating meeting," a cherry voice announced through the speakers.
"This really isn't the perfect time for him to show up right now," Naoko grumbled up under her breath.
"Mrs. Shihouin?" the cherry voice questioned.
"Show our guest to the 10 floor business room. I'll be up there in a few minutes," Naoko replied as her eyes focused on Yoruichi anxiously.
"Well isn't this convent," Yoruichi smiled a catty grin on her face at the thought of being able to get some answers out of Soi's dad .
"If you come with me you will have to behave, understand?" Naoko queried knowing what her daughter was planning.
"Me? Oh I promise I'll be good mom. After all I do have to handle this first business deal for you, right?" Yoruichi said her grin widening.
"Somehow I think you have other intentions on your agenda right now, especially when they involve Soi," Naoko sighed to herself as she opened up the room door and stepped out into the lobby.
"Nah I'm just anxious to get this deal rolling," Yoruichi answered sweetly. 'And I plan on finding out what's happened to Soi too. There's no way I'm letting this wedding happen on my watch.' She thought to herself as she walked along side her mother to the elevator.

I really didn't want to end it on this part, but I really couldn't decided exactly what part to end this chapter on. Sorry if it comes off as a cliff hanger but this is where my mind was going at the moment. I will be sure to update this fic after the other two have been done as well. Please write a review and let me know what you think.
Thanks Again
