Chapter eight: the party

"You know I look pretty good in this" Yoruichi admired her reflection with a smirk planted upon her lips.

"Told you, you would" Soi Fon smiled as she entered the bedroom and shoved some more things into her handbag. "You'll be the belle of the ball"

"Aren't I always?" Yoruichi boasted.

"I just can't believe you made me where … this!" Soi Fon sneered down at her own despicable costume.

Yoruichi wrapped her arms around Soi Fon's waist and drew her closer "you look hot in it"

"You could light me on fire and I still wouldn't be hot" Soi Fon snapped before calming down and burying her head against Yoruichi's warm neck. Yoruichi stroked Soi's hair soothingly and then stopped. Soi raised her head "w-what's wrong?"

"Sit down"

"Why?"

"I refuse to dance around with you with those braids in your hair"

Soi Fon took a step back, her braids clutched tightly within her hands "b-but Y-Yoruichi-"

"No 'but's' let me take them out"

"No"

"Soi Fon" Yoruichi's voice was low and deadly calm.

"NO!"

Yoruichi sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose. "Soi Fon, please. Why are you so embarrassed? I have seen you without your braids before"

"You have, yes, no one else has"

That's when it hit Yoruichi at just how shy Soi Fon really was. She felt her heart melt within her chest. She stared at the younger woman before her. "Okay" she breathed.

"I … w-what?"

"You don't have to take your braids out if you don't want to" Soi Fon shifted from foot-to-foot before slowly unwinding the ends of her braids. Yoruichi watched as the white strands unravelled into a heap on the floor the two golden rings fallen with two small 'clicks'. Soi Fon's long dark blue hair hung in faintly wavy tresses down to her thighs. "Oh my …"

"What? Is there something on the outfit?" Soi panicked as she circled in front of her lover, unintentionally showing off every inch of her body. Yoruichi swallowed. Soi was so hot in her costume. She had a lace-up black and yellow striped bodice, yellow and black striped knickers with black garters and black opaque tights with thigh-high leather boots.

"You're the dominatrix of my dreams" Yoruichi drooled.

Soi Fon chuckled "yeah, yeah now come on hot stuff we have party to attend"

"Argh"

Ichigo and Rukia were in the middle of a sea of people all dressed up skeletons and cats and witches and oddly enough a giant pumpkin. And yes this was Omaeda. Rukia stood next to him buy the buffet table "um…Omaeda why are you a giant pumpkin?"

He glanced down at her "because I'm sweet"

She looked him up and down "really? I thought it was to make you look … fat"

"YOU EVIL BITCH!" he screamed causing people turn to face them "YOU'RE JUST LIKE CAPTAIN SOI FON A COLD HEARTLESS UNLOVING BITCH!!!!!!!!"

"Omaeda" Rukia pointed behind him at captain Soi Fon. He didn't pay attention to her and kept on yelling not knowing that each word he screamed drove a dagger into Soi's heart. Soi stared unblinkingly at her subordinate and forced the tears back as Yoruichi wrapped her protectively against her chest.

"YOU HAVE NO SELF RESPECT! YOU LOVE NOTHING! YOU ARE NOTHING! YOU MOTHER FUCKING LITTLE LESBIAN HARLOT!!!!!!!" The crowd of people gasped. He finally turned to see his captain completely broken. "C-c-c-c-captain Soi Fon I-"

"Save your breath. I'm leaving"

"Soi?"

"Yoruichi I'm fine" Soi insisted as she stopped by the door.

"Soi-"

"PLEASE YORUICHI. I…I'm fine" her grip on the door almost splintered it "I'll wait for you at home"

As Soi Fon left Yoruichi felt her heart plummet and tears began to brim her eyes. Anger pulsed within her as she turned her burning gaze up to Omaeda. "You son of a bitch"

"I…"

"HOW DARE YOU INSULT MY SOI FON!!!"

"Yoruichi" Ichigo whispered trying to calm her. However she would not be reasoned with.

"FOR YOUR INFORMATION YOU BRAINLESS TWAT SHE DOES HAVE A HEART! A FUCKING BIG HEART! SHE LOVES ME I LOVE HER AND WE'RE HAVING A FUCKING BABY! AND I SWEAR IF I EVER HEAR ANYTHING INSULTING ABOUT MY SOI FON COME THROUGH YOUR LIPS I WILL HUNT YOU DOWN AND FEED YOUR TESTICLES TO RABID DOGS YOU GOT THAT?"

Omaeda swallowed thickly "y-y-y-y-y-yes Y-y-y-y-y-Yoruichi"

"Good" she sneered before turning and leaving the party.

"Woah" Ichigo breathed once the door had slammed shut.

"I know" Rukia shuddered beside him.

"Could everyone else totally see through her shirt?" the room burst out into a hum of agreement.
