Well, between the deadlines and such I bring you the next chapter...hope you'll enjoy :D
No, not possible. The sole point of concentration had been the path her feet were following in semi-slumber, to reach out for warmth, for the soft haven of skin and the clinging aroma of tobacco – a bit of sanity in the maelstrom of due papers and hours of endless studying.
"Always…never…why now…damn you!"
Shaking her head violently from side to side, Soi marched onward, the flickering lights stung at her eyes and in an attempt to relieve some tension she rubbed at the closed lids with the back of her palms. Tears? For the love of…fighting back the warm liquid staining her face, she pounded the soles of her feet into the ground even faster, in a false hope of escaping the memories that started to flood her mind.
"Ne Soi?"
Lying on the grass in the vastness of the green hills above the first crook of the stream below, Soi turned to face the darker girl, whom in turn was staring at the clouds overhead with a peaceful expression on her impish face.
"Y-yes Yoruichi-san?"
That smile, that toothy grin which robbed her of her breath crept over the warm coffee hue of the seniors face before one golden orb lazy gazed at her, making her blush.
"I thought I told you to drop that…ah never mind."
Smiling to herself Yoruichi closed her eyes before rolling onto her side and curling into the small frame of the Chinese girl. Soi was not yet comfortable with the proximity, but Yoruichi pushed on, wanting to share this feeling of peacefulness that she found when alone with her. She was blushing furiously, her eyes closed as she swallowed heavily at the warmth spreading across her body, the ecstasy of nubile flesh pressing against her own. Let's stay here…no, that would just be selfish…my father wants me to follow in his footsteps…Soi…I…
Sighing contently when she felt one of those small hands reach around her neck to brush the curls at the nape of her neck, Yoruichi buried her face in the girl's small firm chest, taking in the smell of her sandalwood and vanilla…so warm.
"You know…"
The friction against her chest made the smaller of the two's breathing become ragged, a moan escaping her lips as she tried in vain to hide her desire for more contact…as well as her fear at the possibility of such things, Yoruichi on the other hand found it more than amusing that she had such an profound effect on her companion, not wishing for the innocent bantering to stop, since it made her feel wanted and more importantly, loved. Kissing the exposed flesh of Soi's chest she smiled when she felt the rush of air to the girl's lungs, lifting her body, pressing in more firmly against her.
"…I could use a cushion like this more often…still too much clothing though."
"YOURICHI!"
Soi obviously more than just a little embarrassed turned her face away before huffing and lacing her fingers through her hair the gentle ministrations of her hands lulling the older of the two to sleep, realizing this, Soi sighed, content in a sense that the teasing would stop…for now.
"Beautiful…almost like an angel…" lifting one brow she thought for a second that the description did not do the now peacefully sleeping form draped, almost casually over her too much justice in her mind. "…no, like a goddess." she whispered before closing her eyes and joining her counterpart in slumber a content smile on her lips as her fingers remained twined in the smoothness of those short violet locks.
Kuukaku sighed laboriously as she waited inside the small shop a block away from the parlor, waiting for the cue of human traffic to move along How long does it take to serve curry anyway? Damn it…I forgot my jacket…Something caught her eye since the curry seemed to be in the process of being imported from India, her eyes had started to wonder around the interior of the sand-colored entrance of the fragrant deli. On her right-hand side a flicker of movement, barely noticeable had flared up enough curiosity for her to move toward the large glass window, for closer inspection the familiarity grew into a gut feeling and she walked to the glass briskly, black hair and a cut up white shirt, bound hair…Soi?
Laughing to herself, Kuukaku stepped out of the corner deli and rested her hand against the cool glass, spreading her palm before leaning curiously against the aluminum and glass surface.
"Miss me that much?"
Soi smiled it seemed almost sarcastically, painfully as her eyes were tinged pink and slightly swollen. Had she been crying? Reaching an arm out to the shorter of the two, she was met with the petite frame against her chest, sighing when she felt that normally rigid posture relax in her arms while continuing to run a hand through and over Soi's hair. She was not shaking, not responding verbally - only clinging onto her, breathing deeply while renewed tears ran down her face. Something's seriously not right…pain shot through her at the sight of the girl in this state, Soi never cried without a reason, not even when she had injured herself in class once, her thumb hanging my a thread.
"C'mon, you ain't stayin' alone tonight…"
The low lights emitting from the entrance seemed to float in mid air…the presence of the large brick building was overwhelming even at night and Yoruichi had to stop herself from lifting her gaze as customer's walked past her, in case they should notice her bruised face.
"Miss Shihoin!"
Flinching at the sound of her last name, she turned around slowly, finding Tatsuki staring back at her with more than just a look of surprise on her face…somehow she looked like, like she is smirking at me.
"Yes?"
"Sir Uruhara said he will be out for the night…and that the paperwork is done and waiting in your office."
The smirk grew visible as Yoruichi winced when she pressed down on the swollen flesh accidentally, her defensive self kicking into automatic at the sight of the all too knowing glint in the girl's eyes.
"What's so fucking funny eh?"
Turning on a heel she marched forward, letting her hair fall loose to cover her face, ignoring the mass of people as she turned to take the stairs to her suite. This cannot get out of hand… touching the swollen lump once more she smiled to herself as she turned to climb another set of stairs god, she was so beautiful…Tatsuki stood in silence, stunned slightly by the ferocity of the darker woman while smiling to herself at the thought of Soi pummeling her.
"So she hit you huh? Thought she might..."
"Gin…you're late." The silhouette revealed itself to the night, white seemingly fine hair hung in a disorderly fashion over a long jaw line and sparkling crimson eyes. An eerie grin was it seemed almost pasted onto its owner's lanky frame, adding to the sinister look in the glow of the moon.
"Sorry 'bout that, didn't mean t'a make ya wait…"
There was a shift in the large chair, a hand clutching at the armrest before revealing the profile of an almost classically handsome faced man, hair smoothly combed to one side and a pair of large rimmed glasses framing soft brown eyes.
"…Sousuke."
oh and thank you for all your kind words...I really do appreciate it bows
