Reiatsu was exploding everywhere around her…Ichigo's, Byakuya-yago's, Yama-jii's, Uikitake's, Kyoraku's…I need to get up! But, it's so comfortable here…wait…Aizen?! Isn't that fella supposed to be dead? Heard he got a sword rammed into him and pinned to the wall…caused his fukutaichou a lot of distress. Guess I really need to get up and see what's going on…with that she opened her eyes to find herself staring at a black wall. Or so it would seem if the said wall did not start moving. It took a while for Yoruichi to realize that she had fallen asleep on Soi Fong's lap. She looked up to find a pair of storm grey eyes looking at her intently.

"Yoruichi-sama." She whispered.

"Soi Fong, did you feel that? The reiatsu of that Aizen guy. We have to go. They need our help." With that, Yoruichi stood up to leave.

"Hai" but what of your promise? You said you did explain everything to me.

Shunpo-ing across the entire Soul Society, they reached just in time. Aizen was about to draw his sword and attack Kukakuu. Placing a hand over his sword's hilt, Yoruichi prevented him from drawing while Soi Fong held her zanpakutou at his throat.

"Well, isn't that a nostalgic face?"

"Don't move. If you move even one muscle…"

"I'll lop off your head in an instant."

"I see."

"Kukakuu!"

"Yo, Yoruichi! I had too damn much free time, so I came to check things out while taking a walk.

Standing far from the place Aizen was trapped, Gin muttered "Ah…what a ruckus. What am I gonna do?" lifting his hand, he knocked a debris aiming for his head out of the way; only to have it caught by Matsumoto.

"Don't move," she said, holding her sword to his neck.

"Sorry, Aizen taichou. I went ahead and got caught."

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"This is for you."

"What was that?"

"Don't you understand, Aizen…that you three have nowhere to run?" said Yoruichi as the shadows of shinigamis began appearing everywhere.

Ukitake Jyuushiro, Kyoraku Shunsui, Ise Nanao…Iba Tetsuzaemon, Sasakibe Choujiro, Yamamoto Genryuusai. Hisagi Shuuhei had his sword at his taichou, Tousen Kaname's neck.

"It's over, Aizen."

He laughed.

"What's so funny?!"

"Oh, I'm sorry. It's time."

Yoruichi's eyes widened at the meaning behind.

"Get away, Soi Fong!"

They leapt off just before the negation light completely surrounds Aizen.

The sky above them split open to reveal several Meno Grandes of the Gillian level.

"Menos Grandes?!" Soi Fong half whispered, wide eyed.

"Gillans! Just how many are they?!" said a frightened Oomadea.

"No, look. There is something behind them" pointed Ukitake.

All the rest could do was to watch as the same thing happened to both Tousen and Gin.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"I'm a lil' disappointed. You could have hold on a lil' longer" said Gin. Lowering his voice, he said "sorry" before he was swept upwards by the light.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"You think you're getting away?!" yelled Iba as he drew his sword, preparing to give chase.

"Stop it"

"Commander general…"

"That light is called negacion, Menos use it when helping one of their own. It was over once they were wrapped in that light. Inside that light is a completely isolated, un-affectable world. Anyone who has ever fought a Menos knows that the moment the light comes down; we are no longer able to touch Aizen.

-That night-

I really should tell her why I had to leave. I promised to tell her so didn't I? So why am I still on my ass trying to reason with myself instead of seeing her? Good question indeed. Right! Enough of wimping out. I'm sick of this behavior of mine. I shall just go there and talk to her. Maybe she would be reasonable enough to hear me out. After all, I'm leaving for the real world first thing tomorrow morning. With that, Yoruichi made her way to Soi Fong's room in the second division headquarters.

Sliding the shoji open silently, she tried to slip into the room unnoticed; only to be stopped by the kido blocking the door. Does this means that she is bathing again? The image of Soi Fong's exposed back leapt into her mind instantly. The image was quickly replaced by one where Soi Fong hugged her to her naked chest (even though she was in her cat form, it did feel good). Yoruichi nearly had a nosebleed there and then. The mere thought of her protégé naked was more than enough to induce a bleeding nose.

Using her own kido to nullify the kido blocking the door, she let herself in. Just as she expected, Soi Fong was indeed bathing but the said person had already finish her bath and was walking out of the shower room with a white fluffy towel wrapped around her. The sight of her leave much room for imagination as the towel did not cover much, it was just nice. Pulling the towel a little higher or a little lower would result in certain parts exposed. This was just too much for Yoruichi to handle. Her already sexually deprived brain and state was going into overdrive as her wild imagination took her on a wild ride. Blood spurted from her nose anime style as she fell onto the floor twitching.

Turning around to the source of the noise, Soi Fong was shocked to see a pale Yoruichi on her floor twitching. Bending down, she places a hand on her mentor's forehead. Suddenly, Yoruichi's eyes opened and she shot up.

"Ouch!"

Yoruichi rubbed the sore spot. She had crashed into Soi Fong's head when she shot up suddenly. That hit brought Soi Fong out of her concerned mode and made her excruciatingly aware of her current way of dressing. Her embarrassment immediately changed to one of anger as she realized that Yoruichi had sneaked into her room. How did she get pass that kido? Oh right. She taught me that. Of course she knows how to break it.

The knock on the head did Yoruichi a world of good as her head was somewhat cleared and freed from the erotic thoughts about her protégé. It made her remember her main purpose of the visit.

Turning to the scantily clad Soi Fong, she shut her eyes and began speaking. If I don't see her, I would stop thinking about those stuff. She reasoned with herself.

"Soi Fo…"

"Get. The. Hell. Out."

"But I…"

With her eyes closed, she did not see a boiling Soi Fong in front of her.

"Huh?"

Yoruichi felt herself being lifted off the ground. She did not dare to open her eyes, giving her current altitude; she knows very well what she has a good view of.

Maybe I should just take a peek, seeing how I had my face stuck in them before…

Before she could finish contemplating about opening her eyes, she felt herself sailing through the air. Landing on the floor on the opposite of the room in an unglamorous heap, Yoruichi picked herself up and looked at Soi Fong for the first time that night.

Once her eyes connected with Yoruichi's, Soi Fong found that she was unable to look away. So intense was the emotions swirling in those golden orbs. She saw confusion, remorse, guilt, something she can't put her finger on and most of all, desire. A hunger that she alone could satisfy. Was that love? No, it can't be. She is with Urahara taichou. She abandoned me for him. She ran away and deserts her position for him. For him. All for him. Soi Fong felt herself getting bitter at the thoughts. Her eyes raked across Yoruichi's body. Damn it. Couldn't she choose something that would not flatter her figure so?! Is she just out to torture me?!

Yoruichi could feel Soi Fong's eyes raking across her. She was thankful that she had enough sense to pick something that flatters her so. It's not really difficult to choose seeing that almost everything flatters her figure. Seeing Soi Fong there motionless with water running down the side of her face, her chin and rolling even lower gave Yoruichi second thoughts about her little talk with her protégé. Maybe we should talk later and play first. How I wish I was that drop of water.

"Soi Fong, I…"

"I won't repeat myself. Get out. This instant!"

With that, Soi Fong pushed a stunned Yoruichi out of the door and resealed it with kido. All Yoruichi could do was stare at the door helplessly, knowing that it's futile to sneak in again. Until I have better control over my hormones, I'll make sure you sit down and listen to what I have to say. With that in mind, she heads towards her own room.

Behind that shoji was a breathless and pissed off Soi Fong. Pissed with herself for feeling so affected by Yoruichi's presence, for not throwing her out the instant she saw her, for being breathless, for her stupid heart which would not stop beating like a freight train. She is still pissed about what happened a hundred years ago and is made even madder by her own performance in the afternoon. I knew I should have tossed her out the moment I saw her. Why?! Why didn't I do just that?! She still owes me an explanation…at this point in time, I don't know if I even want to hear it. Why did I have to break down in front of her? That was stupid. Stupid and weak. I seriously need to grow up and grow a backbone. Not to mention a better and more frightening mask.
