Soi woke with a tremendous headache, vaguely remembering what happened last night. The last thing she remembered was drinking sake and moving in a daze, that's all. She sighed and winced as she walked her way to her captain's chambers.
"Soi Fong here at your command, Princess Shihouin!"
Yoruichi rolled her eyes at the familiar voice. She pushed last night's events to the back of her mind and called, "C'mon in, Soi!" As the girl entered, Yoruichi crossed her arms. "What did I say about formality and the like?"
"Yoruichi-sama does not care for such things," Soi immediately responded. Yoruichi nodded and leaned in. "So why the title?" Soi looked down. "Uh…force of habit, Yoruichi-sama…" This made the older woman laugh. "Ah, you never cease to amuse me Soi Fong." She ruffled her friend's hair as she always does and leaned back. "Let's go, Urahara sent me a hell butterfly." Soi nodded and guarded her charge as they left for 12th Division.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Ah, you're here!" Urahara had on a wide smile. "And look, your Little Bee is here too!" As Yoruichi walked ahead to inspect the gadgets, Soi kicked Urahara in the shin. "Ouch!" Urahara looked up, expecting to see Soi in the act but instead, found nothing but thin air. Confused, he turned and saw Soi standing with the goddess. A comprehensive look crossed his face and a broad smile made his eyes light up with a playfulness you would usually find in the dark skinned woman.
"Kisuke, I'm going to look farther back. Watch him, 'kay Soi?" After Soi nodded, Yoruichi went on, inspecting any gadget she happened to cross.
Once Urahara was sure Yoruichi wouldn't hear them conversing, he used shunpo to appear right beside Soi, leaning his arm casually on her shoulder. "Huh, you're pretty short." He told her observantly.
This made a vein pop and she swiftly brought her arm back, hitting him straight in the stomach with her elbow. He had the air knocked out of him and winced, rubbing his stomach with a hand. "Well, that hurt." and fell to the ground rather dramatically. Soi snorted and kicked him gently to have him flip over. She blinked. He blinked. "You're a terrible liar, you know that Urahara-taichou?"
Urahara got up protesting, "Well it did hurt!" He then crossed his arms and looked away from her, indignant. "I didn't do anything wrong…"
An eye twitched. Her voice went dangerously low. "Wrong?" she spat out. "How bout I show you…" What did he get himself into?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I've gotta say, you have some weird shit here…" Yoruichi blinked at the sight she returned to. "What the…" Everything was wrecked, showing clearly that a fight had ensue. She saw the unmoving form of Soi on the ground and Urahara hiding behind a table. She raised an eyebrow. "Kisuke?"
The scientist looked up to acknowledge the woman. He had several injuries but nothing life threatening. "Ah, uh…Yoruichi. Hey!" Unfortunately for him, he had forgotten how to explain why her subordinate was on the floor, almost lifeless.
Her suspicions raised another notch at the too high cheerfulness he displayed and the nervousness that emitted from him. "What happened?" she asked him.
He shrunk back. "Uh, well. You see…" She took another step towards him, fists to her sides. "Ack! She was too close to one of the gadgets I had and I told her to be careful with it when an accident happened!" He hurriedly fibbed and held out his hands before him as a feeble attempt for a shield. When he felt no physical contact, he hesitantly opened an eye. "Huh?" Yoruichi's threatening face turned to one of concern. "Will she be okay?" Urahara could only blink. His friend rarely showed warm feelings so it refreshed him. He straightened himself and dusted his cloak as he stood. "Well, the only thing that'll change is…her age." He then added as an afterthought, "And maybe her appearance."
Yoruichi blinked. "So…she was hit by an…aging device?" At the nod she was given, something inside her clicked. "Kisuke…," she said, her voice low and dangerous as Soi's had been, "WHY THE HELL DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING LIKE THAT?!"
Urahara yelped as a fist was aimed his way. He scurried for cover but she always trashed that. Moving from place to place, he tried to explain. "You see---" he dodged a kick to the head, "It'll only age her somewhere around 50 years older!" He yelped again as the fist went for his head, his cap flying in the air. He shunpo to grab it only to get punched in the back. "Ow! Yoruichi!" He landed and flew for cover. You'd think someone would help me with all this noise we're making, he thought a bit irritated. Honestly, no one appreciates me.
She stopped behind him. Yoruichi crossed her arms. "Can't you make something that'll change her back? Or will she just stay 50 or so more years older than she's supposed to be?" Her normal grin wasn't in place. "Well, Urahara?"
He chuckled somewhat nervously. "I am a scientist and I know I should at least try." He added to himself, It was my fault anyhow. He cleared his throat. "You should take her back. The next time she wakes, she'll see an older Soi looking back at her in the mirror. Meanwhile, I'll try making the cure."
Yoruichi thought about this for a while and nodded somewhat reluctantly. She picked Soi up. "I don't mean to accuse you Kisuke, but I have a feeling you set this up."
"Aw, you think too much of me Yoruichi." He put his head high in mock indignant. "I'm hurt." Yoruichi only chuckled at the behavior she was expecting. "Just make sure you give me the antidote." Urahara nodded and watched her go. His smile instantly came back as he went to cleaning his libratory. The only thing that Yoruichi didn't know was that he does have the antidote. He only wonders if his Operation: Princess and Sparrow will work.

I guess you can wonder what Urahara's scheming. I'm trying to put in some other characters in here to make it more interesting but I'm still working on it. I MIGHT make the next chapter longer with other characters but you're gonna have to wait longer if that happens. Review and tell me what you think and all!
