AN: Hm, I've come to the conclusion that I don't want to write smut in this, but I will include provocative situations. And basically everything there is besides actual smut. I'm just an innocent bystander to the mysteries of sex… ROFL besides it's not like I'm leaving you guys dry or anything.
Blah, I feel that if I write something in first person perspective it just flows better. So for this chapter everything in regular is in Yoruichi's POV and everything in italics is in 3rd person- only because she and I have the same personality right down to the goofy attitude and catlike grin.
Rated: Who knows anymore, do you people even read the rating? I hope you do because the story's rated M! Not that there's anything you need to watch out for in this chapter. Maybe just some language and… well I really don't know, let's see when we get there.
Chapter 7, Liar, Liar, Catch on Fire
A burning sensation crept onto my cheek, a hand gently resting where Soi's lips had just been. My eyes wide, blank… confused. "Soi I-"
"Oh my god, I'm so sorry… I don't know why I… It just happened." Her eyes shut tightly an arm reaching up to put pressure on her forehead. I could hear it throbbing, her skin pulsing. What to do? What could be done, helpless, I only watched, wanted to reach out and take the pain from her. She fell backwards, out cold into my arms and I squeezed her gently, reminding her subconscious I was still there. Seconds, minutes, hours it felt like.
"Soi wake up, please Soi." As if by magic, her lashes started to flutter giving way to silver irises.
"I remember the kiss."
"Of course you do, it just happened Soi." A warm smile appeared on my face as I looked down at her.
"No, when we were little. The first time I kissed you."
"Oh," I chuckled, "you were so cute back then, and you were mine, Soifon."
--
A burning sensation crept onto her cheek, a hand gently resting where Soi's lips had just been. Eyes wide, blank… confused. "Soi I-"
"It's alright if I like you right? Even if we're both girls, I think boys are icky anyway." She turned around and stared forwards again watching a family of birds hop along the tips of the brown fencing. "My brother told me to stop liking you, he called me a fagot. Only, I don't know what that is. Yoruichi what's a fagot?"
"It's a bad word Soi. Don't ever let him call you that again ok? If he does, I'll beat him up."
"Ok. Yoruichi you still never told me what it is."
"It means you're gay, Soi."
"What's gay?" This made the taller girl laugh.
"It means you like girls."
"Oh. Hey Yoruichi are you gay too?"
"I dunno, I never thought about it. I guess so." She placed her hand on Soi's little head and grinned. "Cause I like you too."
--
"What made you change?"
"What do you mean change?"
"Well… you aren't gay anymore are you?"
"To be honest I don't know." My heart skipped a beat at those words, the possibility of Soi actually liking me again… it was all too unbelievable. "Ever since my family died I haven't been able to really love anyone, I couldn't feel anything, like my emotions all submitted to numbness. Why Yoruichi, why did your mom do it?"
"My mom… Soi what did she do?" She sat there and stared blankly at nothing. "What did she do to you, Soi?"
--
"It's getting dark Yoruichi; my dad won't like it if I'm late. I'll see you tomorrow ok?"
"Ok, Soi, see you tomorrow!" The shorter girl bobbed through the backyard and into the mansion, all lights off, shadows stretching and distorting along the white walls. An object, something soft, Soi collided with it.
"Yoruichi watch where you're- who the hell are you?"
"Oh hi Yoruichi's mom, it's me, Soifon."
"But you… why are you here? You were supposed to be home!" She was yelling at this point, the only thing Soi could see was the red that appeared in the grown woman's eyes, and she backed up, trying to get away. "You should be dead with the rest of them, that's what I ordered!" Hands reached for her, but Soi slid past, running towards the front door, her pigtails flying behind her. "Get back here. I'm going to kill you like the rest of your family." She felt a tug at her hair and she screamed.
"Let go, I want to go home!"
"You don't have anyplace to go."
"Yoruichi!" From the backyard, Yoruichi heard Soi's screams and ran, as fast as she could into the house, knocking over tables and objects in her way and she saw them. Panic, what was her mom doing?
"Mom what are you doing to Soi? Get off her!"
"Yoruichi go to your room, this doesn't involve you."
"Get off!" The girl launched herself at her mother and started punching her back, her neck, her head, anything she could reach. "Run, Soi!" The shorter girl got up and opened the door running down the street and never looking back, tears streaming down her face.
"Why you little brat, get off me!" Her mother's fist made contact with Yoruichi's face and she flew backwards into the nearest wall. "Now look what you've done. She's going to find out." Face swelling the girl got up and ran upstairs to her room and looked out the window. She couldn't see her friend anymore. At least she got away.
No longer worried, Soi stopped running and collapsed on the grass to catch her breath. At least she was almost home, she would be safe there, and she looked up in the direction of her house and saw thick black smoke rising into the air. "Mom? Dad?" Calling out to no one in particular, again Soi ran, but when she approached her house there were fire trucks and firemen outside dousing the house in gallons upon gallons of water. One of them saw her and jogged over. Kneeling he put his hand on her shoulder.
"Are you ok?" She didn't answer; she just stared at the bright orange and yellow flames consuming her house. "Someone get me a medic. What's your name?" He couldn't get a response. "Is this your house?" Her head slightly bounced up and down.
"Where's my mom and dad?"
--
"She did it Yoruichi. She killed my family that night."
"What? No she couldn't have… she was… she was home the whole time."
"She told me herself, right before she tried to kill me. And then you showed up. Don't you remember?"
"Soi I'm- I swear to god I'll kill her. She won't ever get near you again, I promise. I just-"
"No. Don't do anything. It's over. Making her suffer won't change what's already been done."
"But Soi, I can't let her-" I didn't expect it; her kiss threw me off guard, and it left me spinning. Our lips melted together, a sweet innocent gesture.
"Shut up." And again she pressed up against me. With a rough swipe to my lower lip her tongue gained entrance and together we fought for dominance. I won of course, lifting her off the swing and pushing her to the ground where I climbed on top and we continued. So many things should have run through my mind but it was like autopilot. I couldn't even begin to think what was going on. My body wouldn't stop, lust was building up, and my hand reached under her shirt, ready to pull it off and I brushed against her bandages freezing. Wake up call; stop molesting your best friend. I broke for air and looked down at her; it was obvious she had been crying. "Why didn't you stop me if you didn't want to do it?"
She opened her eyes and her expression looked dead. "I wanted you to forget about it, I didn't want you to feel like it had been your fault because it wasn't. You saved my life."
"And so you kissed me? You thought that would make me stop caring that my own mother murdered your family? What's wrong with you Soi? You think I'm that shallow?" I got off her and stood up facing the house, my back towards her, the orange jacket I wore trembling in the strong breeze. "Well I've got news for you, I'm not, as surprising as that might sound. And if you ever pull a stunt like that again you can live somewhere else. Got it? Now get in the fucking car."
God I'm such a drama whore, how depressing. I hope this chapter wasn't too obvious for you guys. I felt that the earlier conflict with Yoruichi's mom had to be worked on and this was the only thing that came to mind as to why Yoruichi would hate her. Obviously not the house fire because she didn't know, but the attack on Soi's life.
On a side note this may be the last chapter till mid January because of vacation and exams, but if I can I'll try to write one this coming weekend or when I get back from New York. Until then, have a happy holidays and a grand, drunk new year.
Love, Tear
