Because they were lovers
:Knock knock:
"Come in." came a voice from inside.
The door slid. Yoruichi turned.
"Oh... it's you." She smiled, a sad look on her tanned face.
Soi Fong stood there, watching the other one pack things up.
"It's true then... That you're leaving..." the pale skined maiden said.
"Yes." came the answer.
Soi Fong looked away, in sadness.
"Are you sad that I have to go?" Yoruichi asked, smirking.
There was no answer.
The dark skined maiden finished packing up. She walked towards the door, passing by Yoruichi. None spoke.
"Do you really have to go?" asked Soi Fong, in a monotone way.
"You know I have to." came the answer.
The other one cried.
"But why do you always have to go? Why can't you stay here? Why can't you stay... with me...?"
Racing heartbeat. Yoruichi turned to the crying Soi Fong and, cupping the younger woman's face with her hands, kissed her lips slightly but emotionally.
"Because I don't belong here anymore." she answered, looking directly to Soi Fong's wide open eyes. "You're now a captain and I'm a runaway. There is no way that we two belong to the same place."
"But..." Yoruichi put her index finger on the younger woman's lips, making her stop. The older woman smiled.
"But that doesn't mean... we don't belong with each other."
Soi Fong wide-eyed even more.
"You can always come visit me, if you want. You're a captain... I know you can arrange a few getaways now and then."
"But how will I find you?"
"Don't worry. I'll find you. Just let me know when you're coming."
Soi Fong's tears stopped. Yoruichi turned again to the door and stepped out.
"See you then, Soi Fong-taichou." Said the catwoman, closing the door behind her, leaving Soi Fong wiping her tears away.
"See you then, Yoruichi-sama."
