AN: Alright details aren't my style so don't expect them, but humor, that's another story, metaphorically of course.

I think I'll keep it at this level. I enjoy not getting mature with you people.
Chapter 6, At the Intersection of Want and Desire
Now Yoruichi claimed that money hadn't gone to her head and that she was still like any other person, but pulling into the large mansion she called her home, it was a bit hard to believe. The roman columns and large green vegetation setting the perimeter with a discrete black fence hidden beneath it could be intimidating, but hell if it wasn't attractive.
As their limo parked outside the main entrance, Soi peered out of the window finally examining her temporary residence. The only thing she didn't enjoy seeing was a very out of place Nanao Ise sitting erect on the front steps. Yoruichi noticing Soi's discomfort leaned over to get a better look at this odd appearance and chuckled, finding Nanao's obsession with Soi cute. Their driver exited the vehicle heading to open the door, but Soi beat him to it in a rush to get outside.
"Nanao, what are you doing here?"
"I was waiting for you." She stood; eyes closed and brushed off her jeans trekking the short distance to the other woman.
"I told you this morning not to come."
"You sound as if you don't want me here." Soi shifted her weight to the other foot anxious not to have Nanao and Yoruichi near each other. "Do you have any idea how worried I was this morning? And you." Soi's friend walked over to the relaxed woman leaning against the limo. "Don't think I don't know what's going on here." Yoruichi seemed to be taken aback because she faltered before regaining composure.
"Nothing's going on that you need to concern yourself with."
"Like hell, Soi told me everything this morning."
The siren glanced at Soi for a second feeling betrayed, but curious. "I know how the situation sounds, but trust me, I never meant to get Soi involved."
"Right. Ever since you saw her at the bar I bet you've had your eyes on her, waiting for an opportunity to add her name to the list."
"That's a lie. I was never interested in getting Soi recruited."
"Recruited is an odd way of putting it."
Yoruichi turned to the shorter figure near them, Nanao following her gaze. "I didn't want Aizen to get involved with you."
"You mean to tell me Soi slept with Aizen too?"
"Nanao, what the hell are you talking about, I didn't sleep with anyone." Soi seemed to be a bit more upset than Yoruichi at being labeled a slut.
"This morning on the phone it sounded like Yoruichi brought you here for a one night stand, but what does Aizen have to do with it?"
"Yoruichi didn't bring me here to sleep with her, she's protecting me from-" Nanao's body collapsed to the floor as Urahara caught her under the arms smiling cheerfully.
"What did you do?" The shorter girl looked on in shock.
"Relax Soi, she's just unconscious, now help me get her inside before anyone sees." He attempted to throw the girl over his shoulder, but fell backwards with her body on top of him.
"Why?" Soi had clearly lost her temper.
"Well I don't want anyone to call the cops; this looks very suspicious doesn't it?" Nanao rolled off Kisuke and he stood up, brushing off his shirt.
"Why did you knock her out?"
"It isn't important for Nanao to know why you're here."
"Good thinking Kisuke." The older woman stepped forward and lifted Nanao in her arms with ease, heading towards the house, but paused at Soi's voice, flinching.
"Yoruichi, don't agree with him!" Soi rested a hand on her forehead and looked around the yard before heading up the steps with a sigh. "What are we going to tell her when she wakes up?" The shorter woman pacing around the room motioned at the body on Yoruichi's couch.
"Soi, chill out, you're making me nervous." The singer was having a hard time watching her travel back and fourth.
"Do you have any idea what we've just done? It's kidnapping!"
"We didn't kidnap her, just calm down." As if on cue, Yoruichi's phone started ringing and Soi moved over to Nanao checking for a pulse. "For god's sake, she's not dead." The raven haired girl glared as the phone was answered. "It's Yoru, talk to me."
"Gin tells me you've found a new friend."
"Aizen…"
"Unfortunately I've had my eye on her for quite some time. It would be best if you just stayed out of the picture."
"That's too bad."
"I'm sure we can work this out, I don't need another Shihouin's blood on my hands."
"Don't you dare talk about her as if she was just another one of your fucking thugs."
"She was disposable."
"My sister was a person you bastard. And for some reason you don't understand the price of a human life."
"One life doesn't make a difference; there are billions of people. Regardless, I didn't call you to discuss the matter of her death. I want the girl."
"No."
"Ever since you got involved with Ms. Fong, your loyalty to me has come into question, I would hate for something to happen that would increase the time of your contract."
"It wasn't because of Soi. My loyalty was shattered when she died. Since then I've been waiting for the perfect time to get rid of you and it's finally here."
"So then your mind is set? You won't relinquish the girl?"
"For the last time. No."
"Know this Yoruichi: if I can't have her, I'll make sure the public does." She let out an aggravated grunt as the call ended and turned to Soi who had been kneeling at Nanao's side before storming out of the room.
"Urahara." Soi called out for the blonde bum in aggravation. "Urahara!"
"Yes, Soi?" He stumbled into the room in a light green apron, rubbing the back of his head.
"Wake Nanao up."
"Why?"
"She's been unconscious for days."
"It's been an hour!"
"Just do it before I kick your ass."
"Alright, I'll go make us some warm tea."
"How's that supposed to work?"
"Please, I've got it under control."
A few minutes later Urahara returned with a glass of water and a tray of ceramic cups. "Wakey, Wakey, Nanao-chan!" The glass of water spilled all over the front of Nanao's shirt and her body thrust forward in response.
"Cold!"
"Tea, Nanao?" Soi looked over at Kisuke incredulously as her friend stood up holding her arms away from her chest. "No? Ok I'll just set it down for you to drink later."
"Urahara I could have poured water on her!"
"Then why didn't you? Look it doesn't matter how she got up, point is she's up isn't she?" Soi grabbed the bottom part of Nanao's shirt directing her down the hallway and mumbling about useless managers. When they got inside her room, Soi pointed to the dresser and told the taller girl to change before leaving and heading to Yoruichi's room. After a few quick knocks and no response, she cautiously opened the door noticing the sleeping figure on her bed. Walking over, she reached for the photo in Yoruichi's hand, sitting on the edge of the mattress to examine it.
The lack of light made it almost impossible to see, so she squinted bringing it up to her eyes. The bed behind her started to shake and her back grew ridged hoping the Shihouin was just turning over until dark arms reached around her abdomen and legs straddled her thighs. "If you wanted to get in bed with me, you should have just asked." Soi blushed and Yoruichi rested her head against the girl's shoulder staring down at the picture through heavy lidded eyes.
"This is your sister isn't it?"
"Yeah." The arms got tighter as if Yoruichi was expecting Soi to get up and leave. "She's still alive."
"But you said-"
"I know what I said. Truth is I'm not even sure. We both worked for him at one point. That is until I was told to assassinate the leader of an underground drug cartel who I was working with. One day Aizen stopped getting shipments all together and told me to eliminate the problem. My sister heard and volunteered for the assignment in my place knowing that death was highly likely. She never came back, and her body was never found. They're convinced she was dumped somewhere, and he didn't want to bother looking, said it would be a waste of time."
"You didn't want to get your hopes up."
"Exactly."
"What if she's looking for you?"
"She knows where to find me." They sat in silence for a while until the door opened and Nanao stepped in.
"Soi are you in… here."
"Nanao, why do you always walk in when we're about to get undressed?"
"Yoruichi!" Soi gently slapped the taller woman's hand before struggling to get out of her embrace. "Let go."
"But Soi, you said you couldn't handle it anymore, and asked me to ravish you."
"I said no such thing!"
Nanao coughed interrupting them. "I'll just throw my shirt in the dryer then." And the door slammed shut.
"Now she thinks we're having sex." Yoruichi let her go.
"Why are you freaking out, it shouldn't matter what Nanao thinks. Honestly I'm starting to think you're straight." Soi turned away from the siren who stood up resting a hand on the girls shoulder. "Are you?"
"That's not it I…"
"Then what is?"
"I've never… had sex before."
"Wait, you're a virgin?"
"Is that a problem?"
"No. Actually it's pretty cute, unfortunately this only makes me want you more." Yoruichi pounced forward and they both fell against the bed.
"Unfortunately for you that's not going to happen."
"Why can't I be your first?"
"Because I don't even know you."
"Soi you know everything about me. With all that research you and your friend conducted I'd bet you even know where my birthmark is."
"I don't."
"Good, then I can help you look for it."
"I'm not interested."
"Come on, I'll give you a hint: You'll be able to find if I take off my shorts."
"Yoruichi!" Soi blushed as the older woman chuckled and rolled off the bed helping her up.
"I'm playing; I wouldn't do anything until you're ready. I can wait."
"You'll be waiting for a long time." Yoruichi pouted and Soi leaned forward capturing her lips in a soft kiss before letting go of her hand. "But if you keep making those faces I might have to reconsider." She left to join Nanao in the laundry room.
"Did I forget to mention I love cherries? Oh well, she'll figure it out eventually." Yoruichi grinned and threw herself back down on the mattress forgetting the photograph at the foot of the bed. Her nap was interrupted after all.
Oh yeah, I went there.
