Chapter 11, Heart Attack

Soi winced every now and then as Yoruichi's frame bounced and hit her sore ribs. The two had been moving for about 10 minutes since the call for help and due to Soi's inability to walk the taller woman had to carry her. There wasn't much of a plan, the idea was if they at least kept moving west they'd run into someone who could help since heading up the hill was at this point impossible. A search team had been sent out along with helicopters to survey the surrounding area, but it was too large and densely populated with trees to spot them.

Yoruichi was getting slightly annoyed at the occasional hair that would fall into her eyes and looked up, blowing at it to push it aside. Unfortunately it was quite stubborn and she gave up with an exasperated sigh and paused. "Soi."

"Yes?"

"Let's switch positions."

"You know I can't walk."

"But I don't like being on the bottom." Soi lightly tapped Yoruichi on the shoulder and braced herself as they continued their trek westward.

Thirty minutes later, a small cabin stood out among the trunks of trees and they approached it cautiously, peaking inside the cloudy windows thick with dust. After a few kicks at it, Yoruichi thrust the door open and stepped back as a storm of particles were disturbed and slowly settled back to the floor. The older woman dusted off a chair and gently set Soi down in it, heading to the nearest window and blew, sneezing like crazy after inhaling the stuff.

"Chances are there's a stream nearby or some kind of civilization, people don't just build houses in the middle of nowhere right?"

Soi shrugged and took a second to gingerly lift her leg on the table in front of her and pulled back on her skinny black jeans. It was slightly bruised and she felt it carefully in areas and concluded it was just a bad sprain. Yoruichi noticed this and watched curiously as the girl then attempted to lift the bottom of her shirt, but winced as she couldn't get the fabric above her navel. She motioned for the taller girl to help and she headed over, pulling it up, just bellow Soi's chest and averted her eyes in guilt as she saw how injured Soi's body was.

The pale white flesh was coated with purples and blues, patches of greens and yellows and their eyes met anxiously, Soi nodding as dark fingers gingerly pressed down on the skin, noting where bones were and feeling for fractures. Yoruichi got up and headed to a small cabinet and looked inside, grumbling at the lack of provisions and scratched the back of her head, turning to Soi.

"I'm going to leave the phone here incase something happens, but I just want to look around, I'll be back in a few minutes."

She cursed, loudly, echoing across the forest obscenities and disgruntled screams. A few well placed punches snapped against the bark of the nearest tree as Yoruichi pulled at her hair. "Soi…" She almost killed her, almost. Her body racked with sobs and she leaned against the injured bark, careful not to use her now bloodied hands for support. "Fuck, you just had to head into the middle of nowhere." Ranting on, her ears perked up as she heard a metallic whirring and ran towards the sound, jumping over roots and rocks, slipping against the loose mulch into a large clearing and looked up waving and shouting as the helicopter dropped slowly in the middle.

Her body didn't move forward, she simply stared as paramedics in blue jumped out and headed towards her as the sound died down. "Are you injured?" Yoruichi stared into the mans eyes, finally nodding slightly but a wave of concern tore through her eyes and she turned around fiercely and started running, the men behind her had a hard time keeping up and shouted at her to slow down, but she wouldn't.

The door to the cabin flew open and her purple hair flew back as her lungs screamed for air. No words were exchanged as Yoruichi lifted Soi in her arms and pushed past the paramedics at the door and marched to the helicopter waiting as they pulled out a bed and wrapped fabric around Soi's torso. She jumped in behind the girl and reached out grabbing her hand as the aircraft lifted up and the loud sound pelted against the headphones protecting her ears.

A genuine smile spread across her lips as they flew over the canopy of trees and she couldn't look away from the girl before her until a dizzying feeling took over and Yoruichi shook her head before finally slipping away into unconsciousness.

--

Beeping echoed through a room until finally, yellow eyes met the inside of their hospital room. Yoruichi sat up yawning slightly and looked over to her right, panicking, her heart raced and the monitor jumped at the drastic change in speed sending a siren through the building as nurses rushed in and relaxed upon finally seeing the Shihouin awake.

"Where is she?" All but one nurse left, happy there was no emergency as the monitor declined to a normal rate.

"The young woman you came in with is right next door." The lady smiled and Yoruichi relaxed.

"Awake?"

"Yes, but she's- Please don't get up!" Yoruichi stood and started walking towards the door but was stopped by various wires and tubes in her arm. The nurse held her arms out, blocking her path and pushed her back. "Bed, now!"

"But I-"

"Need to rest, you're still bruised and some of your cuts could reopen." The Shihouin growled and sat on the edge of her bed with a pout. "What happened to you two?"

"Motorcycle accident."

"Well it was very lucky neither of you were too badly injured, some of our motorcycle patients… well it's not important. I should let you know, there's been a few visitors to see you. One man, with blonde hair and a silly hat was here, he just left, also a woman with spiky dark hair was here too, only for a few minutes though. Oh! And a tall handsome man with brown hair visited your friend next door."

"He what?"

"Yes, very nice gentleman, he brought flowers and everything." Yoruichi grabbed the nurse's arm and pulled her close to look her straight in the eyes.

"That man… if he comes back, don't let him near her. He's… an ex, she has a restraining order against him, and he's still infatuated with her, please. His mental stability is off; don't let his appearance deceive you."

"Oh dear, I'll notify the nurses. Until then you should go back to sleep, you must still be very tired from all that stress on your body."

"I just want to see her."

"Later, it's almost nightfall. You haven't eaten anything have you? Would you like me to get you something?"

"No I… actually, yes, anything would be great thanks." The nurse smiled and headed out of the room. Yoruichi stood and pulled her wires off, turning her head to look down the hallway, and sneaking out to Soi's room.

The door opened slowly and she grinned at Soi before turning the lights off and getting into the bed next to her. The younger girl turned slightly and rested her head against Yoruichi's chest and breathed in the girl's familiar scent, smiling.

"Hey, kid, you alright?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. They wouldn't let me get up to check on you." Yoruichi's right arm reached above her head and gently stroked the soft black locks on Soi's.

"Same."

"You snuck out?"

"Of course, I had to see how you were."

"You're going to get us in trouble."

"I'll take the blame, it's all worth it." They lay like that for a while before Yoruichi got sleepy again and drifted off with Soi in her arms. The young girl looked up at her friends face and gently tucked a purple strand behind her friend's ear, noticing as a Nurse opened the door and exhaled a breath of relief. A tray of food was set on a table at the foot of their bed and she left, closing the door gently behind them. Soi closed her eyes and followed Yoruichi into a deep sleep.

--

The Shihouin had the pleasure of waking up first that night, she looked to the clock across from their bed and stretched very catlike, careful not to wake the girl with her arms wrapped around her waist. The older woman returned her appendages back to their original position around Soi's shoulders when the girl beneath her spoke, "Yoruichi."

The soft sound sent her into a frenzy and she squirmed lightly to drive the feeling away but accidentally pushed up the leg entangled in Soi's and a soft moan escaped from the girl's lips.

A cloud of lust encroached on Yoruichi's pupils as she looked down at her sleeping friend. It's been far too long, her body reasoned, just do it. Soi was hers after all, and she had been patient, time to be rewarded.

Long dark arms touched the top of Soi's hospital gown and slowly unbuttoned the back. Her fingers tugged on the fabric revealing a smooth white shoulder and Yoruichi planted kisses along the skin towards her collarbone still removing the flowery garment. She shifted her weight and straddled Soi's hips using her hands to hold the girl's motionless wrists and continued to pull with her teeth, leaning up to massage Soi's lips with her own when she woke up. Their eyes locked for a second and Yoruichi paused before attacking the girl's neck.

"Yoruichi, what are you-" another moan, louder this time. It all seemed to be driving the girl on top further, telling her to make the other hers. "Stop." She was ignored and Soi struggled, her ribs burning, trying to free her arms, doing the only thing she could. Her head sprung forward and she bit Yoruichi, hard, right bellow her jaw and the Shihouin stopped, only to let out a gasp and relieve her place at Soi's neck, their lips colliding, forming another bruise. A fire set in their lungs, causing a demand, pleading for more air. Upon release Soi screamed, "Yoruichi." Said girl stopped and sat up, looking down and got off.

"Sorry… Soi I'm… sorry." Soi pulled on her robe, yanking it back over her shoulder and breathed deeply, glaring at her friend.

"Get out."

The taller woman left without a word and spent the rest of the night apologizing to her empty hospital room.


AN: I have this weird habit of seeing how other authors write and comparing it to my style, and I've noticed I'm really different. Not so much in content or things like that, but I have a lot of dialogue and hardly any lengthy description paragraphs at all. So there, I added a ton for experimentation. Tell me if you like it any better.

Right now the story is completely… idk what the hell I'm doing it's off track and crazy and… lame. So I have to get back into the plot and stop goofing off! (Side Note) Free plug for vanilla.barcode she has some great stories and I think is probably my biggest competition. So check her out.

Mm, this is good soup…
