Sorry I've been away from FF for so long, but I've really been in a funk when it came to my writing, and I think it's showing through in these chapters. I'm still trying to get back into the groove of things, and am enjoying myself along the way. Chapters will be getting longer as I continue along, I promise, I just need to think things out first.
PS. Sucks to be Hinamori.
PPS. Sucks more to be Soi who made it suck to be Hinamori.
Staring out the window of the airplane to the large city below, Yoruichi absolutely dreaded landing. Running a hand along her cheek to calm frizzed nerves, the dark woman raised an eyebrow towards the strawberry blonde boy next to her.
"What did you say?" She questioned.
"I said, why do you hate this place so much?" Ichigo slowly repeated his question, cautious of the frazzled woman next to him. It was rare for Yoruichi to be anything but upbeat, and it was throwing Ichigo off, frightening and confusing him at the same time.
"I don't." The Shihouin faintly murmured. Seeing Kurosaki's blank stare, she sighed before continuing, "I have a… bad past there. It's a confining place, home of the privileged, and school for the gifted, Seireitei hosts the nation's best and future leaders."
"Oh," Ichigo frowned, slightly put off.
"We'll get you in, don't worry," Yoruichi grinned, the first sincere smile she had given all week.
"'Kay," he grinned in response.
Laying in close proximity to the unusually gentle Soi Fon, Yoruichi sighed in satisfaction. She watched disinterestedly as Soi slid her hand under the covers, placing her hand teasingly along the older woman's bare thigh. Having already satisfied her physical desires, Yoruichi found no interest in continuing their previous actions, turning to remove Soi's slender hand from her bare skin. Playing off her coldness as the desire to sleep, Yoruichi yawned widely, her back to the woman beside her.
"I love you," Soi Fon gently whispered, lips pressing against Yoruichi's warm shoulder blade.
"And I you," Yoruichi breathed, feeling something clench her stomach as she shut her eyes, willing the uncomfortable feeling away.
Shock jolted Yoruichi awake, alarming her as the plane roughly hit the landing strip.
"We're here!" Ichigo flashed a bright smile.
'We're here,' the dark woman nodded before glancing out the window to her rather taxing fate one last time.
"KUUKAKU," Yoruichi hollered through the dark hallways, pushing her fist into the young Ganju's face, forcing him into the wall as her other hand dragged a flustered Ichigo behind her.
"YORUICHI," Kuukaku's loud response echoed through the hallway.
Sliding the door open, the dark woman sauntered in, followed by an embarrassed Ichigo, and rather frustrated Ganju.
"Yoruichi, must you break all my doors and siblings?" the older Shiba huffed through her pipe. Spread across her chair, the brash young woman watched as the smoke blew from her lips, trailing across the room towards her unexpected visitors.
Light filled the room through the large windows above them, enunciating the Shihouin's catty grin as she sauntered across the room, placing both hands on Kuukaku's chair, and leaning dangerously close to the woman, "Only because they're yours."
"What? Ya' gonna kiss me?" Kukakku shot back a smirk of her own.
"You only wish I would," Yoruichi laughed before pulling the Shiba into a chokehold of a hug.
"So," the elder woman questioned, "what exactly are you doing here? I thought you'd never come back."
Sitting down on the arm of Kuukaku's chair, she motioned and rolled her eyes towards the confused Ichigo, "His name is Ichigo Kurosaki, and the love of his life apparently lives in Seireitei."
The sarcasm wasn't lost on Kukakku, "Love of his life, eh? What section?"
"Twelve. Rukia Kuchiki."
"Kuchiki?" Shiba's eyes widened in surprise, "Well, well, well, this should be interesting. And I take it you want to skip past the 2nd section?"
"Pretty please?" Yoruichi pursed her lips before grinning from ear to ear.
"You do realize that the 2nd overlooks all security aspects."
"Of course."
"And that she's the head of the 2nd section."
"…." Yoruichi was caught halfway between a grimace and a proud smile. "She deserves it, always did work hard."
"We'll see about that," Kukakku smirked glancing towards Ichigo, "Ganju. Take them to their rooms so I can get some peace and quiet 'round here. We'll chat tomorrow."
Ganju slid the door open with a subtle look of distaste upon his face. "This way," he motioned.
Yoruichi pushed Kurosaki through the door, waving back towards Kuukaku before exiting the room.
