Rating: T
Genre: Drama/Romance
No matter how hard Yoruichi strained at the ropes that held her locked in place they refused to give in to her strength until she was forced to admit that her captors knew what they were doing. With a frustrated chuff she examined her captors once again and saw that their numbers had decreased to three which annoyed her even more. It made her feel like they thought she was no longer a threat and another hopeless tug at the ropes secured around her every joint proved that she had been defeated.
Urgh the very thought makes me feel sick. And right on cue her stomach churned in defiance although Yoruichi couldn't tell if it was because of how tight the ropes were of it really was out of protest to the idea of being defeated.
"I could make them tighter if you like." The guard to her left smirked at her. There were many things Yoruichi would have loved to do to him in response but all of which involved physical violence so that would have to wait for another time.
"She looks like she wants to destroy you." The guard who looked to be leader of this entire operation stated calmly with his eyes closed and arms crossed.
Tch, looking like he's sitting on a throne made of gold, Yoruichi glared at him.
"It's only a matter of time now, the King will bow before us now that we have his precious princess." The guard on her left stated happily, obviously picturing his reward for handing over Yoruichi.
"So that's why you came after me." Yoruichi looked at the leader who was now glaring at his fellow partner for revealing more than he should have. "You want to win the war?" The leader locked eyes with Yoruichi and remained silent while he worked out what to do but seeing how the cat was out of the bag so to speak he felt no need to be secretive anymore.
"Well of course, your armies will have to stop once they see their Princess with a knife to her throat, or would you prefer a beheading?"
"Blackmail… it won't work. Our people will resist you even more if you kill me in cold blood." Yoruichi pointed out, knowing fine well that some of the royal guards, well the one she thought of anyway, would dive head first into hell itself if it meant saving her.
"Well there are many ways we can use you so we won't need to kill you. That is only a last resort." The leader clarified with an air of finality in his tone to signal that their little chat was over and done with.
"You won't get the chance to use her!" An angry voice cut through the silence right on cue. The guards all leapt to their feet, alert and readying their weapons only Yoruichi didn't look surprised, if any of those guards were to glance her way at this point they would have seen that she was in fact smiling.
The lights cut out.
One of the guards fired his weapons out of panic and in the flash of gunpowder from his muzzle Yoruichi caught sight of her would be rescuer and then the sound of a scuffle broke out followed by the sound of a man's dying plea for help.
"Don't shoot!" The leader barked to his remaining companion right beside Yoruichi, he had used the brief moment of light to get closer to his prisoner.
"I can't see how many of – Oof" The second guard cried out in pain and remained silent. A gruff hand latched onto Yoruichi's shoulder that she had to wonder for a moment if it was because the leader wanted to know exactly where she was or if he needed support.
"It's best if you don't speak." She stated in the darkness. "It will let her know where you are." The hold on her shoulder tightened to the point it began to hurt however that just proved to Yoruichi that he was scared. Oh this is going to be fun, Yoruichi smiled menacingly through the darkness. "Do you know how we train our guards? They start learning how to fight as a child, yes its unorthodox but imagine how powerful a fully grown adult could become if they knew nothing but a constant struggle to survive? The very air they breathe is their reward for winning their battles."
"Shut up." The leader whispered and jabbed his gun into Yoruichi's head.
"You just signed your death warrant." Yoruichi stated calmly and she could easily picture the look of distress upon his face just before he drew his last breath and sure enough his hand slipped from her shoulder as he fell to the floor dead.
"Are you alright my Princess?" Sui-Feng's voice revealed that she was stood right in front of Yoruichi.
"W-what are you doing?" Yoruichi was a little surprised to feel Sui-Feng's hand caress the side of her face where the gun had previously been stabbing her.
"Claiming my reward." Sui-Feng stated with an air of boldness which was a rare sight indeed whenever she was close to her princess that even Yoruichi let out a noise of surprise when she felt Sui's lips capture her own in a powerful lingering kiss.
A/N: Due to nature of the above events, any intel on how the Princess was captured has been destroyed so that any future attempts on her life will not have any advice on how to capture her.
