Chapter 3

'This place doesn't look so bad', Yoruichi thought to herself as she stood up against her car, she carefully scanned the area feeling as if she was being watched but didn't see anything out of the ordinary. She carefully looked at the two story brick house that had red window shades and a perfectly groomed lawn.

"Excuse me but you never answered my question Yoruichi," Soi growled now on the passenger side of the sports car. She narrowed her eyes at the other woman suspiciously with her arms crossed in defense.

"What's the problem?" Yoruichi asked as she shrugged at Soi's words. She could feel her body weakening from the gunshot wound that stopped bleeding.

"Is this some kind of joke, this is my house," Soi explained feeling herself grow even angrier by the moment.

"Soi it's not a joke I…. damn this hurts," Yoruichi muttered faltering slightly, she leaned up against the car as she placed her left hand on the throbbing wound that was on her right arm.

"I told you we should have gone to the hospital," Soi said her features softening slightly by seeing the other woman falter. "Let me help you get into the house," she offered letting Yoruichi lean on her for support.

"T…Thanks, Soi," Yoruichi mustered up a smile as she leaned onto Soi for support.

Within a few minutes Yoruichi was in Soi's house, seated on a large leather couch. She bit her lip hesitantly as she watched Soi shuffle through a first aid kit for tweezers and more alcohol swabs. Her golden eyes stared nervously at the needle that Soi had placed wrapped in a plastic wrapper. She hated needles and didn't expect Soi to have a first aid kit for a situation like this; she was beginning to think that the hospital didn't sound like such a bad idea considering Soi planed on using a needle. "Are you sure you know what you're doing?" she asked noticing that the shorter woman now had on plastic gloves and an alcohol pad in her hand.

"I've never sewed up a gun short wound before, but I think I can manage," Soi answered gently wiping dried blood off of the wounded area on Yoruichi's arm.

"Ouch that hurts!" Yoruichi whined feeling her wound sting by being brushed by the pad. "Can't you be a little gentle with that?"

"I barely touched you," Soifon said as she raised an eye brow at the tan woman, she knew Yoruichi was nervous by the woman's arm remaining stiff as her body continued to move a few inches away from her little by little. "Stop moving or I'll really have to take you to the hospital."

"N...N...No that's ok, but I'll take care of this myself," Yoruichi muttered attempting to stop Soi's hand from reaching for another swab.

"Yoruichi, you can't get the bullet wound out by yourself. Stop moving and let me help you," Soi grumbled growing impatient that she wasn't able to clean off the blood from Yoruichi's arm before she took out to bullet.

"Sure I can watch me," Yoruichi smiled confidently as she grabbed the tweezers that were wrapped up in a clear wrapper. The throbbing in her arm caused her to drop it unfortunately.

"Yoruichi look at what you've done. I told you not to move," Soi scolded as she reached down from her white carpet to get the tweezers off the floor. She scowled at the fact that Yoruichi wouldn't stay still. "Looks like I'm going to have to get more supplies from the medicine cabinet up stairs. Expect this time you're coming with me," Soi muttered, she motioned for Yoruichi to follow her up stairs.

"Why do I have to go upstairs for?" Yoruichi asked she was now holding a cloth to her arm in order to prevent it from bleeding any more.

"Because that's where the other supplies for my first aid kit are," Soi grumbled anxious to get the other woman out of her house. She mumbled to herself incoherently ready for the entire situation to be over.

Yoruichi followed closely behind Soi taking notice of the white painted walls around the house along with several photo's of Soi receiving awards for her written news paper articles. She smiled at the thought of how similar Soi was acting towards her. 'She's still being a busy bee I see,' she thought to herself as she looked at another award plaque that was on the wall. Yoruichi's eyes continued to scan the house as they neared the master bed room.

Soi remained silent as she walked into her large bedroom, she quickly passed by her queen sized bed that had a royal blue bedroom set. She was still ticked that the tan woman had managed to trick her into nursing her wounds.

'The sooner I get that bullet out she'll be out of my hair,' Soi thought to herself as she flicked on a light switch to her bath room. She glanced over her shoulder only to see Yoruichi sitting on her bed with a needle attempting to get the bullet out of her arm. She noticed that the tan woman was biting her bottom lip, in pain as she gently squeezed her arm causing the wound to start back bleeding.

"What are you doing? You're going to get blood everywhere!" Soi yelled not believing how calm the other woman was.

"It's just a scratch it'll be fine. I can handle this," Yoruichi answered biting down on her bottom lip.

"No you're not," Soi muttered taking Yoruichi's hand and leading her to the bathroom.

After twenty-minutes of Soi struggling to nurse Yoruichi's wounds, she finally managed to get the bullet out of Yoruichi's arm. Soi carefully tied a bandaged around Yoruichi's right arm carefully, already knowing that the older woman was still in pain. "There it's finished," Soi said looking over her handiwork. For a brief second Soi felt as if she had been through this same scenario before. She paused visualizing her hand's dressing another wound on a toned tan arm.

"Thanks Soi," Yoruichi smiled her eyes met Soi's briefly noticing that she was in a daze. "Soi, are you ok?"

Soi shook her head dismissing the images that started to play in her mind. "Y….Y...Yeah I'm fine. You go ahead and sit down. I'll finish cleaning up." She answered turning on the bath room's faucet.

Yoruichi favored Soi with a worried stare but started out of the bath room. "If you say so," the goddess said walking out of the bathroom.

'What's going on with me?' Soi thought to herself as she stared at her image in her bathroom mirror. She carefully picked up the remainder of her supplies, as she carefully placed them inside the medicine cabinet. 'I think I'm seeing things, maybe I do need some rest,' she continued to think as she turned off the bathroom light as she started to walk out.

"Yoruichi since your wound is patched up you can leave….. Soi's voice trailed off as she caught sight of the violet haired woman curled up on her bed. Yoruichi's eyes were closed a long lock of her hair was in front of her face. Her entire body was wrapped up in the blue comforter peacefully.

Soi balled her fist up, but her anger subsided as she noticed how peaceful Yoruichi appeared to be as she slept. "I guess I'll sleep on the couch tonight," she muttered a small smile appeared on her face as she looked down at the woman. She couldn't help but feel there was something familiar about the long violet haired woman.

Soi gently moved a lock of Yoruichi's hair out of her face. She noticed how smooth Yoruichi face was; the older woman appeared to be flawless. 'You got lucky this time,' she thought to herself, as she turned off the light and walked out of her bedroom. She silently prayed that tomorrow would be better than the chaos that happened to her today.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The next morning Soi awake up with her neck feeling slightly sore as she rubbed the back of it with her right hand. The smell of eggs and bacon wafted through the air, causing her to open her eyes wide in shock. She glanced at the clock on the wall realizing that it was now nine o'clock in the morning and she only had thirty minutes to get to work.

"Damn I'm going to be late!"She yelled sprinting up stairs to take a shower after a few minutes Soi sprinted back down stairs fully dressed in black slakes and a white button up with a long black leather jacket. Just when she was about to walk out the door she passed by the kitchen catching sight of Yoruichi dressed in a silk bath robe standing over the stove. Soi raised her eye brows up incredulously not believing what she was seeing. She stepped into the kitchen slowly only to have caught Yoruichi's attention.

"Oh hey Soi, you're just in time for breakfast," Yoruichi smiled momentarily looking over her shoulder at Soi then back to the sizzling frying pan that was cooking eggs.

"What are you still doing here?!" Soi shouted a scowl on her face as she glared up at Yoruichi expecting an answer.

"I was only making breakfast for you," Yoruichi replied simply her bathrobe slightly open revealing her cleavage.

Soi blushed realizing what Yoruichi was wearing and was just about to say what was on her mind, but the clock on her stove now read nine-forty-five. She knew she couldn't be late for work considering today the paper would be going to print.

"What's the matter Soi? Cat got your tongue?" Yoruichi teased gently touching Soi's chin, she knew she would have this effect on the other girl.

"N....N…Never mind. When I get back from work I want you to be gone," Soi stuttered feeling her face grow beat red. She gently pushed Yoruichi's hand away from her face and sprinted out of the kitchen.

The sound of the door slamming filled the air, leaving Yoruichi by herself. Yoruichi's cell phone rang, she quickly answered the phone. "Yeah she just left. Don't worry I'm keeping an eye on her." Yoruichi replied into the receiver as she turned off the stove with her right hand.

"I bet you are," the voice in the receiver replied back. Yoruichi could hear a chuckle on the other end of the line.

"Knock it off Kisuke and tell me what you've got for me already," Yoruichi muttered placing eggs on her plate along with bacon. She quickly fumbled through the refrigerator for some milk but discovered there wasn't any so she settled for orange juice instead.

"Alright, alright. You'll be happy to know that I've landed you a job on the newspaper staff as of today you'll be the new assistant editor of Tokyo Times," Kisuke mentioned a smile could be heard through the receiver.

A catty smile showed on Yoruichi's face at the mention of working at Soi's job. She considered that it would be a little easier looking after Soi by working alongside of her. "Well at least you've managed to land me a job. This should be interesting."

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"I can't believe they actually turned this in to me," Soi grumbled as she glanced over several articles that the rest of the newspaper staff had given to her earlier. She nervously read over article after article noticing that they were all poorly written and barely had any length to them.

Soi balled her fist up subconsciously wondering if she should just tell her editor the truth about the articles or just rewrite all of the twelve articles together and expand off of what was given to her. She rubbed her right temple nervously with her left hand as her eyes continued to scan the sports articles in her hand. "Ichigo even skipped on the sports article," she muttered dropping the papers on her desk.

"Is the paper read for its final edit?" Byakuya questioned as he now stood in the doorway to Soi's office. He stared at Soi questioningly even though his pale face barely showed any emotions.

"Of course I was just going to turn it into you," Soi lied as she fought the urge to ball up the articles that were on her desk. She reluctantly placed the articles in a folder then handed to the man before her.

Byakuya took the folder given to him and opened it carefully. He flipped through several articles while scanning though their headlines carefully. For a brief moment everything was silent within the room.

Soi felt like she was sitting on pens and needles as she stared at her boss awaiting his reaction. She knew the editor wouldn't be pleased by the overall presentation of the articles.

"I was afraid this would happen," Byakuya started as he closed the folder, his eyes were now narrowed at the assistant editor.

"Excuse me?" Soi questioned standing up from her chair. She didn't appreciate her editor's remark even though what he was saying was true.

"These articles are poorly written and lack any amount of depth that our paper usually shows. I was afraid we would not make the deadline which is why I took the opportunity to hire some extra help," Byakuya explained as he started to open the door to Soi's office. "If you don't mind Miss Fon please follow me to my office, there's someone I would like you to meet."

"But Mr. Kuchiki I can explain," Soi shouted her mouth wide open at her bosses explanation. She didn't want to be demoted due to the rest of the staff's incompetence.

"Miss Fon please follow me to my office," Byakuya repeated in monotone voice. He opened the door to Soi's office and walked out into the hallway.

"Like hell I will," Soi grumbled up under her breath as she reluctantly followed her boss into the hallway. She avoided the anxious glares of fellow reporters as she walked the long hallway to the chief editor's office.

Byakuya reframed from exchanging any words with his coworker because he was already upset about the final product that his staff managed to come up with. Without saying a word to his assistant editor he opened the door to his office allowing Soi to entrance into the large room.

"Miss Fon, I would like you to meet Miss Shihouin she will be our new assistant editor for a while," Byakuya announced as one of his black leather chair's turned around in their direction revealing Yoruichi who was dressed in a dark red skirt and matching jacket.

"What is she doing here?!" Soi shouted her eyes now slits as she recognized the tan woman that was seated in a business chair in front of Byakuya's desk. She pointed at Yoruichi in disgust as she wondered how in the world Yoruichi managed to get hired by her newspaper in the first place. Soi could feel her anger rise at the thought of being replace by a stranger that obviously knew nothing about writing a paper. 'There's no way in hell I'm going to let her take my position away from me. How did she even manage to get in here in the first place,' she thought to herself as she glared at Yoruichi.

"Well it's nice to see you too Soi," Yoruichi replied back, a smile on her face as she noticed the shocked expression that was now on Soi's face.
