A/N: Sorry this was so late, but I'm getting ready to head back to college, so things are starting to get crazy! But I hope you like it.
I don't own Bleach or the characters, just Sachi. Please enjoy!
When Yoruichi returned to the Soul Society the next morning, she was very pleased with herself. She and Kisuke stayed up all night devising a plan to get rid of the second division's third seat officer. And it couldn't fail! The tanned woman sped off to the second division eager to set the plan in motion. But when she got to her little bee's office, she was greeted by the lieutenant.
"You, where is Sachi?" Yoruichi asked impatiently. Omaeda froze,
"Madame Shihouin! U-Um I-I'm afraid the Sachi is not here" he stammered.
"And just why is that?" Yoruichi challenged with a raised brow.
"I-I don't know" the large man squeaked. But then he adopted a curious look,
"Wait, aren't you here to see the Captain?" he asked.
"I am, but not at the moment, I want a word with her third seat" Yoruichi said.
"Well she's out running errands for the captain, I don't know when she'll be back" Omaeda said.
"Actually I just got back" Sachi interrupted as she walked through the office doors. She still had her carefree smile.
"Well speak of the devil and she shall appear" Yoruichi smirked, successfully hiding the sudden irritation she felt.
"Ah, so the renowned guest has returned" Sachi grinned, before stretching her arms behind her head.
"I have, now would you mind having a word with me, in private of course" Yoruichi said staring at Omaeda to give him the hint. The larger man silently complied before quickly leaving the room. The second the door closed Sachi spoke first.
"What is it, if it's about the captain, she's in a meeting with the head captain, but she should be back soon" Sachi said.
"Good to know, and I'll get to her later, but I need a favor from you" Yoruichi said with a knowing smile.
"That depends on what it is" Sachi said carefully as she crossed her arms across her chest, her arm muscles flexing slightly.
"Well, I was hoping you could tell me more about you, seeing as Soi Fon seems to like you so much" Yoruichi said her smile widening to where her teeth were showing. But they were gnashing slightly. She needed to find this woman's weakness and get her out of the picture, otherwise the plan would be ruined.
"Well I should hope she likes me, we've known each other for as I can remember" Sachi chuckled fondly. Making Yoruichi even more irritated.
"So are you two friends? I know Soi can be a bit standoffish, but it's good that she has someone" Yoruichi asked.
"Something like that, but she wasn't always that way, she used to be different, but rough times change people don't they?" Sachi said making a subtle jab at Yoruichi. That took the darker woman by surprise, and it made her start to get a bit agitated, but she didn't let it show. The too got quiet, Sachi had a firm glare, and Yoruichi had a mask of indifference. But she just kept talking.
"And I know about your feelings for my captain, and let me tell you, I love her far more than you do" Sachi declared. Yoruichi's eyes widened, then narrowed a bit. So she was right, she would have competition for her little bee's attention after all. The room grew thick with competitive tension. But that all changed when the captain walked through the door. Sachi did a complete one eighty.
"Captain! You're back!" she squealed before bouncing to the shorter woman, who looked grumpy, as usual. Sachi hugged her superior, who patted her shoulder in acknowledgement. Then Yoruichi saw Sachi grin smugly at her and gave her a cocky grin. The audacity of this woman! Yoruichi growled quietly.
"Sachi" Soi Fon said. The woman let go and moved to face her captain, with an optimistic salute and smile.
"Yes mam?" she asked.
"Return to your office and go over the files I left for you, then Captain Unohana would like a word with you" Soi instructed. Sachi was gone without a word. Now leaving Soi Fon and Yoruichi alone. Time to initiate the plan.
"What business did you have with Sachi?" Soi Fon cut in. Not giving Yoruichi a second to get her thoughts together.
"Nothing important, just wanted to get to know her, seeing as I've never heard of, let alone met her before" Yoruichi said. Soi Fon hummed.
"Well, I'm afraid you won't get much out of her, she is not too fond of you" Soi Fon said as she retreated to her desk where the files, which Omaeda had snuck onto her desk, were opened by her hand.
"Well, I kind of figured that out, she kind of threw some information in my face before you got here" Yoruichi sighed. But a smile replaced it soon after.
"I thought she might, so I apologize in her place, but seeing as you have returned, what was it that you wanted to talk to me about?" Soi Fon asked. Taking her place at her desk.
"Well, remember when I told you about that revelation I had?" Yoruichi asked.
"It rings a few familiar bells yes" Soi Fon said as she scanned the contents of the file.
"Good, well, I was taking a walk nearly a week ago, and you happened to cross my mind" Yoruichi started. Soi paused in her reading and looked up at Yoruichi. She was mildly surprised to hear this.
"I crossed your mind?" she parroted.
"Well, you're always on my mind, but this time was a little different" Yoruichi said casually.
"Different how exactly?" the small captain asked. This was it, it was moment she had been waiting for. Sachi was gone, and she and her little Soi were finally alone. But then again, any other time they had been alone, Sachi had come barging in. No, this couldn't happen, not yet. Not until the enemy was out of the picture!
"Well, I seem to worry about you more and more these days. What with all the stronger hollows appearing and all. I know that you're strong, and very capable of handling anything. I just worry ya know?" Yoruichi grinned, completely backpedaling. And taking a new direction.
"Oh, I see" Soi Fon said, her voice stoic. But if Yoruichi had looked deeply into the captain's eyes, she would have seen disappointment flash through her eyes.
After being dismissed by her captain, Sachi skipped her workload and headed straight to the fourth division. If Unohana wanted to see her, then it must have been important. She arrived in a matter of minutes. She spoke with those who weren't in hurry, which was seldom to none. But luckily she knew where to find the kind hearted captain. Seeing the time of day, she would probably be briefing the afternoon staff of their duties. And sure enough, Sachi, as she wove through the staff, began to hear her voice. And by the sounds of it, Unohana had just finished giving the afternoon break down. Seeing as people were flooding out of a large room.
"Captain Unohana" Sachi said before bowing respectfully. The fourth division captain looked at the bowing woman.
"My, you are here earlier than I expected Delafone" Retsu said, slightly surprised.
"When Captain Fon told me that you wanted a word with me, I came as soon I could" the grey haired woman said with a serious tone.
"Well, I appreciate your swiftness, now, please follow me to my office if you will" the fourth division captain said before walking in the direction of her office, the third seat officer right behind her.
Once in the safety of her office, Unohana spoke.
"So, you have met Yoruichi Shihouin then?" she asked. Sachi snorted at the name.
"Twice unfortunately" Sachi said with an obvious tone if dislike. But Unohana kept her smile. She had figured that this would be her reaction. Not that she blamed her.
"Well, there is nothing you can do, and I told you this when you came back, leave them be, and let them sort their feelings out" Unohana said. Sachi pouted at this.
"But. . . . I love her too, am I not enough for her!?" Sachi asked. Unohana frowned when she heard this.
"Now you know that is a ridiculous question, the love you have for Soi Fon is much different than what Yoruichi feels for her. And you know that she loves you just as you do her" Unohana said. Sachi sighed and ran a calloused hand through her hair.
"I know, I'm sorry, I just don't want her to be heartbroken again, if we hadn't been there, I don't know what would have happened to her" Sachi confessed with a worried tone. Unohana hummed in agreement.
"That is not something I like to dwell on dear, now run along, I'm sure Soi Fon left some work for you to do" she chuckled when Sachi froze and gasped with fear.
"Oh man! I gotta go! See you later Unohana, tell Isane I said hi!" Sachi said hurriedly as she made a quick bow and left the fourth division. Leaving the waving captain behind. When the door was closed she leaned back and stared at one of the potted plants in her office. Her thoughts calm and collected, but she couldn't help but think back to what Sachi said. Granted this hasn't been the only time the third seat officer had come to her complaining about Yoruichi, but she began to think about what the purple haired woman would think when Soi Fon told her about her secret. Well it would certainly be an interesting event. One she wouldn't dare miss.
A/N: Tada! Chapter four everybody! I hope you liked it.
