7 – After Party

They remained silent until they were a few streets away. When they turned a corner Yoruichi pinned Soi Fong against a wall and claimed her lips. The girl struggled at first but gave in to the woman's strength. There wasn't a heavy taste of alcohol in her mouth so Soi Fong knew Yoruichi was in control of her actions.

When they parted Yoruichi looked at Soi Fong kindly and they remained like that for a while before the woman finally spoke, "I'm sorry about all that. What I said was true though. If you don't want me to drink then I won't. Besides I prefer being able to wake up beside you and take in all of your beauty. That last drink I had was because I saw the hurt in your eye. It's not something you want to do. One drink won't affect me but one more would have affected you the way you downed them."

A deep blush formed on Soi Fong's face as she claimed the older woman's lips and they kissed passionately allowing their warmth to travel to the other as they fall even deeper in love with each other. It was the first kiss that the younger girl had started on her own without incentive from the other woman. The kiss was deep and the best so far making it all the more special for both of them.

When they parted they gazed at each other lovingly before claiming the others lips once more as Yoruichi pulled Soi Fong off the wall and into a very tight embrace. They didn't dare let go of each other until they needed air.

They broke the kiss panting for breath but their bodies didn't part. Soi Fong rested her head on Yoruichi's upper chest and she could hear the older woman's heartbeat. It beat loud and strong as her love for the younger girl got louder and stronger until she couldn't take it anymore. They pulled apart and kissed again entering each others mouth to fight for dominance.

They continued as long as they could completely oblivious to the world around them. They wouldn't know if anyone saw them until the next day and neither of them gave a damn. If someone had problems with their relationship then screw them. If they had to leave Soul Society then they would leave. They didn't care as long as they were together.

When they finally stopped they smiled at each other and headed down the street back to squad two's quarters where they would continue without a care in the world or anyone to criticize them. They walked as fast as they could as Soi Fong started to become a little light headed from her quick intake of alcohol but nothing more then that, though Yoruichi still carried the young Captain for the last quarter of their trip back to squad two's quarters.

From there Soi Fong walked on her own with a clear mind, even if it was going over the many possibilities of the nights events. She was still concerned about doing certain things with Yoruichi even though she trusted the woman completely. When they got to the training grounds Yoruichi took the younger girls hand and led her through it towards the woods.

Soi Fong watched Yoruichi with raising curiosity but didn't dare ask questions as she was led on. This was her night and she would allow the woman to do as she pleased without question or hesitation. She would have to allow anything to happen. Even if what Matsumoto said was upsetting her.

Soi Fong knew she hadn't been all that willing to do those sorts of things with Yoruichi and she still wasn't. The thought of doing these things always made her tense up and Yoruichi's constant tease never helped her either. But it wasn't because of her unease that stopped her it was the lack of trust she had in the woman. Now Soi Fong knows she can trust her because she understands what being in love is like, well in a matter of speaking. She didn't know why she was getting the warm feeling inside her but she liked it and never wanted to lose it.

Earlier she had experienced Yoruichi's own warmth and saw how much she wanted to hang onto it. There was no way either of them could just throw it all away for something else or for nothing at all. Yoruichi liked to drink and every one knows that but she was willing to give it up for Soi Fong. While Soi Fong wasn't fond of many things but she would give Yoruichi anything even if it meant her own life. She was completely dedicated to Lady Yoruichi.

They came to a stop at a clearing and Yoruichi smiled down at Soi Fong but she just looked at the older woman with confusion. She didn't understand why she was brought here. "You don't look too impressed."

"Why should I be?" Soi Fong asked looking out at the clearing. All that was there was a big pond with a log a few feet away from the water. "There's nothing here."

"You have a lot to learn about romantic mood settings." Yoruichi said as she placed a hand on the top of girls head. "It's supposed to put us in a mood, Little Bee."

"Oh," Soi Fong said quietly. "So it was bothering you too."

"What was bothering me?" Yoruichi said with a slight smile. "Are you talking about what Matsumoto said?"

Soi Fong nodded. "What did she mean by 'the limp'? I don't get that."

"She was saying you couldn't get it up." Yoruichi said but saw Soi Fong giving her an even more confused look. The older woman let out a sigh before she simplified even more, "It means no matter what I did you didn't want to sleep with me."

"We do sleep together." Soi Fong said not getting it at all.

"Okay, you never wanted to have sex with me." Yoruichi said as she watched the girls face turn a very deep red. "Now 'limp' would be a term used for when men can't have sex. For girls it would be considered 'dry'."

Soi Fong's face reddens even more but Yoruichi could still tell she didn't understand the two new terms either. The woman let out another sigh as she placed a hand on her forehead. "Alright, I won't explain limp because it's irrelevant. 'Dry' is when a girl can't get aroused. You are in that state now. To be wet is when you are aroused and you are literally wet."

"I don't recall ever being wet around you." Soi Fong said as her embarrassment clearly showed. "That's bad isn't it?"

"You have been wet around me plenty of times, don't worry." Yoruichi said with a smile. "It's hard to notice when you're distracted. Just think about it this way, all those times your lust for me has been really strong you were wet."

Soi Fong's sense of awkwardness increased dramatically as she recalled how often that was. Then she realized this topic was bringing those urges back to her. Yoruichi offered a sly smile at the young girl. "Try rubbing your legs together."

Soi Fong didn't move. She was afraid of what would happen if she did. Yoruichi offered a slight chuckle and walked over to the log. She took a seat and looked at the calm unmoving water. Soi Fong slowly walked over and felt there was a strange wet feeling between her legs. The little amount of her blush that she had lost when Yoruichi walked away returned before she got even close to the log.

She stopped walking as she noticed strange marks on the ground as if the soil had been disturbed. Soi Fong's embarrassment and arousal was forgotten in an instant as her guard picked up. She continued her approach to Yoruichi but her focus was all around her.

She stopped behind the log as Yoruichi tapped the log next to her ushering the younger girl to sit with her. Had she not noticed the marks on the ground or was she aware of it too and keeping it quiet? "There is nothing to worry about, Little Bee. Just come sit with me. I didn't drag this log her so I could be the only one sitting here."

"You made the marks on the ground then?" Soi Fong asked as she cautiously took a seat next to Yoruichi.

"Soi, I haven't been entirely honest with you these past few days but I wanted to keep it a secret." Yoruichi said as she took Soi Fong's hand. "Tonight was my first drink since we got together. These past few days I haven't been going to any bars. I was looking for a nice place to bring you so we could be alone and outside. I didn't find this place until this morning.

"Honestly, I wanted to bring you here before my exile so we could be alone but it never happened. I could never get the courage to ask you here. It took a few days to find it and when I did I wanted it to be perfect. During your meeting I left early to set all this up for when I returned." She said with a beautiful smile. "But I didn't have to wait as long as I thought I would. I never expected you to go to the party but I'm really happy that you did. I'm just sorry you had to listen to all that."

"All your disappearances lately have been for this?" Soi Fong asked shocked that Yoruichi would go through all this.

"Yeah," Yoruichi said as she met eyes with Soi Fong. "It seemed that it backfired on me though."

Soi Fong was shocked. No one had ever done anything like this for her. She released Yoruichi's hand and pulled her into a tight embrace as she fell even more in love with this woman. Yoruichi wrapped her arms around Soi Fong and gently said, "I'm glad you like it."

Soi Fong parted from Yoruichi and kissed her to the best of her abilities. They only parted to smile at each other before going at it again without taking in as much oxygen as they needed making this kiss difficult to maintain. It didn't last long before they broke apart panting as they tried to get as much air in their lungs as they could so they could continue.

When their lungs were filled they didn't resume as they had planned instead they just watched the other with loving smiles that refused to fade even as the night got cold. Eventually it got too cold so they cuddled up together. Yoruichi was sitting on the ground in front of Soi Fong while she held the older woman in her arms as they both looked up at the stars.

Soi Fong absent mindedly played with Yoruichi's ponytail as her thoughts lingered on the rest of the night before she found a sly smile on her face as she glanced down at Yoruichi. It was her turn to take charge. She was already in the position for it as well. She let her hand drift from Yoruichi's hair to her chin before raising her head and kissed the woman that would be at her mercy tonight.

They had only a quick kiss before Soi Fong pulled away with a sly smile. "It's getting pretty late. Shall we return to our room or do you want to stay here?"

"I don't care." Yoruichi said as she looked up at Soi Fong. "As long as I can hold you or you can hold me I'm happy."

"Shall we go to bed then?" Soi Fong asked not allowing her smile to fade.

"If that is what you want." Yoruichi replied.

Soi Fong tightened her embrace for a moment before letting Yoruichi go so they could both stand up. Yoruichi got up first and offered her hand to the smaller girl with a smile. Soi Fong took the hand and was pulled up with ease but their hands didn't part as they made their way back to their room in a comfortable silence.

When the two arrived it quickly became Yoruichi's turn to be pinned to a wall while Soi Fong initiated their kiss. Yoruichi welcomed it and all of the younger girl's antics as she was pulled off the wall and to the bed. Soi Fong turned so the woman's back was to the bed. She broke their kiss to force her down on the bed. Yoruichi smiled up at her as she spoke in a teasing voice, "Taking control are we?"

Soi Fong blushed with embarrassment making her hesitate before crawling on and reclaiming Yoruichi's lips and pushing her further down so they were lying. Soi Fong tried to be as seductive as she could as she allowed her hands to slide from the woman's shoulders to her chest where she froze.

Soi Fong had no idea what she was doing or what she was even supposed to do in this situation. Her heart raced as fast as her mind as she tried desperately to figure out what to do next. She broke from the kiss in a panic. There was an instant where she was terrified of what was happening then she saw a kind smile form on Yoruichi's face before the situation turned on her.

Yoruichi was on top now and looking at a very frightened and very red Soi Fong. Yoruichi kissed the girl on the forehead before pulling away so they could look at each other. The woman smiled kindly down at the girl, who was still terrified but more embarrassed at her failure to please the woman she loved.

Soi Fong looked away from the woman completely ashamed of her failure. Yoruichi turned Soi Fong's face so they were looking at each other once more as she spoke, "Soi, you're not ready for this yet. We don't need to do this stuff right now anyways. I'm happy enough to just be able to hold you."

Soi Fong offered a weak smile at her partner before they kissed once more. The girl felt a new wave of confidence flow through her as she wrapped her arms around Yoruichi and pulled her closer. As grateful as she was for this woman's understanding in this matter, she was still upset with her failure but this woman was just taking all of that away. Just like she had managed to take away all the pain and anger that she held towards the woman for an entire century through just one bad attempt at a 'sparring' match between the two of them that went way too far then it should have.

When they pulled apart from their kiss Yoruichi got off the bed and started to get ready for bed with a smile that told Soi Fong to do the same. It was a little strange for Yoruichi to do this since she would always just strip and put her clothes away before transforming into a cat and wait for Soi Fong to finish. But now Yoruichi was getting something to sleep in. Soi Fong sat on the bed and watched the woman curiously.

Yoruichi caught Soi Fong looking at her and she smiled, "I think it's about time for me to sleep in my human form don't you?"

"I thought it was easier for you to sleep in your cat form." Soi Fong said.

"Not necessarily." Yoruichi said. "It just lets me see how cute you could be. Everyone is a lot cuter when sleeping."

Soi Fong's embarrassment came back in full as she fell back on the bed with a light aggravated groan. The whole month of going to sleep as a cat was just to know how much Soi Fong snuggled up to her every night. Her body tensed up as Yoruichi crawled onto the bed beside her. "Tonight I'll show you just how much I cuddle up to you when you're sleeping."

She went stiff as Yoruichi grazed her arm with her fingers in an up and down movement. "Get ready for bed, Little Bee. It's been a long day."

Soi Fong got off the bed quickly to get away from the tease. Yoruichi may understand that she isn't ready for stuff like that but she still teases her without hesitation or thought. She went to her closet and changed into a silk kimono that she sleeps in before returning to her bed to find Yoruichi sitting in wait for her.

They share a smile as Yoruichi holds out her hand for the younger girl. She takes the hand and allows herself to be brought down into a lying position in the center of the bed while Yoruichi is propped up beside her and places her hand gently on the girl's face with a kind smile before leaning down to kiss her gently. The woman then proceeded down to her neck where she left a single kiss to make the girl squirm at the tingles it sent through her body.

Yoruichi rested her head on Soi Fong's shoulder and let her hand gently rub the girl's stomach to ease her into a nice sleep. Soi Fong smiled as the attention to her stomach calmed all her unease and arousal, which seemed only fitting because her arousal was caused by this woman that loved to tease more then anything else.

"I've wanted to lay down with you like this for a very long time." Yoruichi said. "Ever since I first gazed into your eyes I knew I wanted to be with you. But I never knew how much we would go through before it would be possible. Though I always knew it would have to be a secret between us at first."

"I felt the same way." Soi Fong said. "But now I know I can go through anything for you without fear."

"Is that so?" Yoruichi said as she lifted her head to kiss Soi Fong again before lowing herself to the girl's shoulder once more. "Even after everything I've done to you, you're still so loyal to me."

"What you've done does not break the oath I made to serve you." Soi Fong said. "I will always be yours to command."

"I do not wish to have control over you." Yoruichi said.

"Nor do I, so don't ever do that again." Soi Fong said as she recalled making Yoruichi do what ever she had wanted her to do.

A smile formed on Yoruichi's face. "How about we only control each other on certain occasions?"

"What do you mean?" Soi Fong asked curious as to what the seductive woman had in mind.

"If you ever need a scout for a mission I can get pretty close to anything without raising suspicion. Not many will suspect a cat of being a spy now would they." Yoruichi said calmly.

As much of a point Yoruichi had Soi Fong did not want to put her in danger for any reason what so ever. She would never use Lady Yoruichi for a reconnaissance mission. It didn't matter how close she could get Soi Fong had the Special Ops and they were trained to be undetectable. Lady Yoruichi would not be used for anything of the sort.

"I won't use you for any of that." Soi Fong said.

"Then that just leaves when we're in bed." Yoruichi said with a teasing tone. "When you're ready for that we could take turns with who is in control. Unless of course you would rather stay the submissive one between us then I don't mind dominating you."

Soi Fong's body went stiff at this new little plan of Yoruichi's. She knew what Yoruichi was implying, or at least she thought she knew what the woman was thinking. All she knew was it wouldn't be good but she trusted the woman and she knew that she would never be put in a bad situation. So no matter what happened Soi Fong knew she would be okay.

"So you're fine with me dominating you all the time then?" Yoruichi asked with a slight chuckle. "I could do that all day long."

Soi Fong recently relaxed body stiffened once more as she groaned, "Why do you always have to put me through this?"

"I'm making up for the years of your cute side that I missed." Yoruichi said with a yawn. "Sorry if it seems cruel to you. I'll find another way to make you blush while in this form. Night, Bee."

"Good night, Lady Yoruichi." Soi Fong felt a slight smile formed on the woman's face as she fell asleep.

Soi Fong gently stroked Yoruichi's hair as if she were in her cat from. She knew Yoruichi liked being called by her formal title for the same reason Soi Fong liked to be called by her old nickname. When they identified each other like they used to it gives them a slight nostalgic feeling as if they were turning back time to before Yoruichi's exile. When the two of them were young and there had been no conflict or separation between them. Yet now they were unafraid of their feelings and how they would be judged for them. They were strong enough to have this relationship now.

Yoruichi made a joyful humming sound and snuggled up to Soi Fong even more as she absentmindedly scratched behind the woman's ear. Soi Fong stopped for a moment and did it again making Yoruichi hum joyously. A blush spread across the young girls face as she found Yoruichi to be more catlike then she had thought.

A sly smile soon crossed her face as she wondered if Yoruichi knew of this simple action that made her squirm and become cute. Soi Fong's own teasing would soon begin against Yoruichi as she explored other spots that could possibly make her squirm. She checked every spot she could reach that would make the cat purr even more and found they were sensitive as well. She enjoyed making Yoruichi squirm around for awhile until the woman shifted her body. Soi Fong went still and closed her eyes hoping to seem like she was asleep just incase she woke Yoruichi.

But there was no movement and Soi Fong chanced opening her eyes a little to see if Yoruichi was awake. What she found though was amazing, beautiful, and breathtaking. The expression on the woman's face as she snuggled closer to Soi Fong was the most amazing sight she had ever seen. Soi Fong gently and carefully removed the hair from the woman's face to expose all of its beauty.

To see this expression when Yoruichi was awake would be amazing but the peaceful state she is in now wouldn't be as strong. Soi Fong realized Yoruichi had been right about everyone being cuter while sleeping. As adorable as she was when she acted like a cat was almost nothing to this expression Yoruichi held now.

Soi Fong's chest filled with warmth as she smiled down at her partner before falling into a deep sleep. She dreamed of being at the pond Yoruichi had taken her to earlier. She watched as her former self and the younger Yoruichi sat on the log in their place. They seemed to be having a good time and the current didn't want to disturb them but she needed to thank them for opening her eyes to her feelings.

She approached them and they looked over as if they were expecting her. They smiled up at the current as she bowed to them in respect. "Thank you."

She straightened up and found they were now standing as well with smiles that have yet to fade. Soi Fong returned their smile and turned to leave them. At the woods she found the current Yoruichi waiting for her with a warm smile.

Soi Fong smiled back as she approached and took her hand before they ventured into the woods to wherever Yoruichi was leading the girl. She would never question this woman and she would always obey her. There would never be any doubt between them nor would there ever be mistrust again. The two would always be happy.

The End

(but there is omake)
