Soifon Arrested! The Patrol Corp Attacks!

(Soul Society…)

Soifon had been called by Head Captain Kyoraku on some important matters…at least what he deemed important. This meant that she had to leave Yoruichi and Kisuke to watch over Logan's adventures with his teammates. On her way there, she ran into the one person in Soul Society that she'd like to kill more than Urahara. Omaeda saw her and tried to stop her. "I don't have time to deal with you right now, Omaeda. Leave me alone," she demanded.

"I'm afraid I can't do that, Soifon," said the fat jackass, using her codename instead of her title. He grabbed her by the right arm, knowing what grabbing the left would allow her to do. "As your fiancée, I demand you tell me what you and Yoruichi were doing in your office." If Soifon's face was anything to go by, there was anger looming around, and it was coming from her Spiritual Pressure.

"Well since you're going to play your pathetic excuse of a trump card, I might as well play mine. As your Captain, I order you to leave me alone! If you don't, I'll send you to the Maggot's Nest!" she ordered back. That scared him, as he didn't want to lose his titles as Lieutenant and Heir to the Omaeda Clan. He complied with her demands and ran off. Soifon dusted herself off and continued to meet up with Kyoraku.

She got to his office and knocked on his door. When she got the okay, she opened it and saw him at his desk. "You wanted to see me, Head Captain?" she asked.

"Ah, Captain Soifon, yes I did want to see you. I actually wanted to speak to you about your attitude in the last month. I want to know what happened that made you the Soifon that's usually mad at Urahara and Ichigo when it comes to Lady Shihoin's attention." Soifon hung her head low in disbelief. "Hell, you even protested against Lieutenant Matsumoto coming close to Logan. I can understand that one, but I want to know what made you that way."

Soifon scratched the back of her head in nervousness, which was something Kyoraku permitted since he was more laid-back than Yamamoto was, even though he was the Head Captain. "Well, Logan and I…kind of had a falling out about a month ago regarding his recklessness, even though I've got that myself. I got on to him for charging at a Gillian while it was charging up a Cero. After that, we changed. I guess I became so temperamental that even Lady Yoruichi was at the receiving end of it and Logan was depressed. It's my fault we ended up that way, but I think officer Chun-Li might help bring him out of his depression."

Kyoraku was convinced, but not fully, so he shook his head. "Soifon, what else is bothering you? It has to be something other than all of that." Soifon sighed after hearing that.

"My apologies, Head Captain, but it's this stupid arranged marriage with my Lieutenant. Central 46 and my father ought to know by now how much I hate him. Sadly, they don't care about how I feel about this. I don't want to get married to that fat bastard. Hell, I don't even want him on my squad. He's a slob, a snob, and a lazy-ass. The only reason he got his rank was because the Omaeda Clan paid Central to give him that rank. I would've easily taken Ichigo or Rukia because they're much stealthier. Sadly, I didn't hear about Ichigo until the Sokyoku Hill Incident, Captain Kuchiki wouldn't let his sister become a Lieutenant at the time, and Central can't see past their own noses.

"When I first saw Logan, I wanted to take him under my wing as my Lieutenant and apprentice. He had so much potential at just 14 years old, going on 15. That potential is showing today both as an Assassin and as a participant in this tournament. Unfortunately, I would cause trouble for his friends, our families, and all of the Soul Society. It wouldn't sit well with any one of them simply because he's still alive. I still fell in love with him all the same," she said with tears streaming down her face.

Kyoraku thought of an idea. "I bet you miss him, don't you?" She nodded, not knowing where he was going with this. "Has Yoruichi ever taught you that viewing kido?" Again, she nodded. "Well, Central's going to know that you're gone. She can go and visit Logan and his crew. After all, Central has as much control over her as they do him. On top of that, you can hit Kisuke as much as you want. Plus, Yoruichi would be participating in the tournament as well since Captain Hitsugaya and Lieutenant Matsumoto helped get our foot in the door." Soifon lit up at the plan, especially since it'll be the first time since the St. Louis Cyborg Attack that Yoruichi had participated in a battle. Neither one of the Captains knew that Omaeda and one of the Central elders were listening in.

Soifon was making her way back to her office to tell Yoruichi about the Head Captain's plan, only to get stopped by the Central member, who was an elderly bald man, her father, and Omaeda. "Oh joy. What do you want?" she asked, her temper rising.

"We heard about that plan Kyoraku came up with, Captain Soifon. We also know that you and Lady Shihoin have been observing the tournament, more specifically what the Assassin was doing. You both will be place under arrest until your wedding day," the elder said, making Soifon gasp. She was even more shocked at the sight of Yoruichi actually getting arrested by the Patrol Corps.

Soifon narrowed her eyes in anger, with Suzumebachi feeling the same way. "Soifon, I know you're thinking what I'm thinking,"said the Zanpakuto spirit. Soifon grunted in confirmation.

"Omaeda, if you don't stop this nonsense at once I'll beat you to a pulp! I don't care how much trouble it'll cause anymore!" she ordered. Sadly, Omaeda didn't comply this time. Soifon Flash Stepped and kicked Omaeda off the balcony and knocked down the Patrol Corp. members that had Yoruichi. "Lady Yoruichi, run!" Soifon exclaimed. Before Yoruichi could protest, she continued. "I'll deal with Omaeda and his troops. Just go!" Reluctantly, the Shihoin Princess nodded and ran off. Yoruichi had tears in her eyes that shown that she didn't want to leave her apprentice behind again.

With that done, Soifon got to the ground where Omaeda was at and got ready to fight. 'I'm through crying. I'm done with the past. It's time I restored my bond with Logan Washburn at all costs. Logan, I know you can't hear me, but if I go down, remember that even after our fight, I always have and always will love you,' she thought as if she was speaking telepathically to her ex.

Omaeda got up in a furious mood and drew his Zanpakuto as Soifon flung off her Captain's haori. She always knew how to fight bare-handed with the Hakuda training she went through. Her training with Logan had her improving on it as well as adding a bit of his Shorin-Ryu style into her own, which meant that she would have little need for Suzumebachi, especially against Omaeda. Speaking of him, he made the first attack by jumping and preparing to slash down. "You will pay for your insolence, Soifon!" he exclaimed.

Soifon dodged the attack, grabbed the fat bastard's arm, and struck his ribs with a lot of force. He stumbled back to try and recover, but like Logan did to Adon, Soifon was doing the same to Omaeda: striking him down without mercy, even flipping him towards a wall and beating the crap out of him. She got back a ways and drew out her Zanpakuto. "Sting All Enemies to Death, Suzumebachi," she said, turning her sword into the familiar gauntlet. "Bankai," she said again. This time, it was a yellow rocket launcher, obviously what you wouldn't expect from the leader of the Stealth Force. "Jakuho Raikoban."

She steadied herself since no one was behind her to hold her. After aiming the rocket, Omaeda recovered enough to see that he was finally on the receiving end of it. She fired the rocket and it hit the Patrol Corp. Commander, leaving him on the ground. Soifon didn't feel a wall, so she looked behind her and saw Renji supporting her. "Hey," he said. "I figured you could use some help." Soifon smirked and nodded at him.

"Thanks, Renji. Now go help Lady Yoruichi. She needs it more than I do." Renji nodded and took off in Yoruichi's direction, thinking Soifon didn't need his help now. Soifon heard Omaeda grunting, so she looked and saw him on his knee and angrier than he was. "Face it, Omaeda! I've got you beat! Now call off your men!" she ordered.

"Now what makes you think you're still in charge, Soifon? Men, arrest her!" he ordered his own troops. Soifon looked above her and knew that she couldn't escape. However, if there was one thing that being with a reckless Assassin for an ex-boyfriend has taught her, it's that you should never go down without a fight. After taking a few down, the energy depletion she felt from her Bankai started to kick in. She was eventually taken down and arrested. "Take her to the Squad 2 holding cell! After that, I want troops guarding every Senkaimon in the Soul Society, especially the Kuchiki and Shihoin Clans!"

Yoruichi was running for her life, still sad that she had to leave Soifon behind again. The only one that Omaeda didn't take into account as an accomplice as far as she knew was Kisuke. Then again, there could be others on their side as well. Just as she got to the compound, she saw a bunch of the Patrol Corp. standing guard. Renji caught up with her soon afterwards. "Renji!" she whispered.

"Captain Soifon sent me. She wanted me to help get you out of here," said the Squad 6 Lieutenant. Yoruichi nodded. They were assessing the area to figure out a plan. Yoruichi then remembered something, so she signaled Renji to come with her. He followed her around to the back of the compound and noticed her mother arguing with the leader of this troop. "Lady Shihoin, don't tell me that you'll be going through the Senkaimon from behind."

"These particular doors have more than two ways to go, Renji. If it means getting to Logan and telling him what happened to Soifon, then I have to get to the World of the Living no matter which way I go through." A guard passed by them and Yoruichi saw a window of opportunity. She dashed for the Senkaimon, which opened upon noticing her, and went through. Renji knew that, like Ichigo, Rukia, and Logan, he was on the guest list for the Kuchiki Clan, not the Shihoin Clan, which meant that it was Byakuya's gate that he could go through. The troop saw that the gate was about to close, so three of them went after Yoruichi, with no one in the entire group aware that Renji was involved.

(World of the Living…)

The team had just stopped by a lake after a few miles entering into Italy. This was one place that Logan favored over a few other countries in Europe due to being the birthplace of Ezio Auditore da Firenze. The one place he couldn't wait to visit was the Auditore Compound in Florence. Right now, though, they were taking a break from traveling. He was in a 3-way sparring practice with Guile and Abel while Chun-Li and Cammy cooked the fish. They had a look at Logan and saw that he could handle himself in combat against two opponents, especially if one wasn't on a team with the other. They smiled at the sight, seeing that he was having a great time, even if his face didn't show it.

The sparring practice was interrupted by a purple light coming from behind the Assassin. Soon they saw another Senkaimon, one Logan recognized because of the markings. "That's Shihoin Clan," he said. Soon, Yoruichi stepped out looking worn down. "Yoruichi!" he exclaimed, rushing towards her after seeing her stumble a bit. He picked her up and brought her to the campfire. "Cammy, do you have an ice pack?"

"Yes. Here you go," said the Delta Red agent as she handed him the ice pack. He placed it on Yoruichi's head and looked at the Senkaimon, remembering that it didn't close. The three Patrol Corp. members stepped through and looked around. They spotted the Flash Goddess lying down, but these three happened to be scared of one thing in the Living World other than Ichigo, and that was Logan.

Nonetheless, they charged after him, which was a big mistake. Logan charged back with Guile and Abel unable to stop him. He slammed two of them on the throat and attacked the one in the middle. The Assassin grabbed his opponent's neck and punched his gut twice and his chin once. He kicked the man down, which made him let go of his two-pronged rod. The rod was used by Logan to hold him down by his neck.

The young martial artist broke the wooden part off leaving the metal portion to keep its owner pinned down, and turned his attention back to the other two, who were just recovering. He spun the makeshift Bo staff and clocked one on the head and hit the other one in the knees. 'Go figure. Omaeda's turned them into a bunch of weaklings. I don't know how they're any good if a human could beat them,' he thought as he saw them go down. He went towards the first one he took down with an intimidating look on his face and took the prong off of his neck. "Get up, take your friends, and get out of here!" he ordered. The Patrol Corp. member complied while shaking with fear. "Oh yeah, I also have a message for Omaeda! Tell him that when I find Byakuya Kuchiki, I'll be coming after him! In the meantime I want him to leave Soifon alone!"

The trooper nodded, took his buddies, and ran off back through the Senkaimon. Logan rejoined his group and saw that Yoruichi took the ice pack off and was sound asleep. "What was all that about? Who is she?" Chun-Li asked.

"This, Chun-Li, is the woman who dropped off that letter at my suite in St. Louis. Guys, I'd like you to meet Yoruichi Shihoin, the head of the noble Shihoin Clan in the Soul Society."

"That's Yoruichi?" Chun-Li asked in disbelief.

"What happened to her?" asked Cammy.

"Something bad is going down at the Seireitei if she's here in this state. Unfortunately, I can't do anything about it unless I find Byakuya Kuchiki. Thanks to him, I'm on the Kuchiki Clan's permission slip to go through their Senkaimon," Logan explained.

"Well let's get to bed. By the time we wake up, Yoruichi would probably be rested up. I'll keep first watch. And Abel can have the second one," said Guile. Everyone nodded.

The next morning, the sun rose and Logan, having slept next to Yoruichi, woke up to an empty sleeping bag. He looked in one of the trees and saw her looking at the sunrise. "Hey, you look better," the Assassin said. The Flash Goddess turned her head and smiled at him. "I don't mean to press you on this because it's probably personal, but I want to know what's going on at Soul Society. If the Patrol Corp. chased after you, then that means that something bad is happening, right?"

Yoruichi's smile faded upon hearing that. "Logan…Central 46, Soifon's father, and Marechiyo Omaeda know about me and Soifon watching your fights. They even know that I've been sneaking over here to check up on you. When I left, Soifon was about to fight Omaeda. In fact, I sensed that she beat him using her Bankai, but her energy was worn down and she was arrested by the Patrol Corp. I only escaped thanks to Renji," she said, explaining the whole story.

The ordeal made the Assassin angry, but there was one small part that ticked him off big time. "Soifon actually used Jakuho Raikoban on Omaeda?! And she called ME a reckless fool! Yoruichi, that's got to be the stupidest thing she's ever done!" he exclaimed while Chun-Li was waking up. Normally, Cammy would be awake as well, but her body decided to play 'Heavy Sleeper' this morning. Logan remembered something and laughed. "Then again, I guess if you hang out with a reckless fighter, you become one yourself." Yoruichi smiled again after hearing that.

"What's going on? Did you find out what happened?" Chun-Li asked.

"Oh you're awake." The Interpol Officer smiled and blushed at the greeting, confirming Yoruichi's suspicions. "Soifon picked a bad time to be reckless with her Bankai, that's all." He saw that Chun-Li was confused, so he explained the stages of a Zanpakuto, even including the fact that Toshiro, Soifon, and even Ichigo all have a Bankai. When he got done, Chun-Li knew what he meant now. They heard some rustling in the bushes, so they got ready to fight.

What came out was a dark-skinned girl who stood about as tall as Logan wearing a two-piece bikini and multi-colored beads on her neck, ankles, and wrists. She stood barefoot and had silvery-white hair and blue eyes. She saw the three of them were awake, so she skipped towards them in joy. "Hi there," she greeted. "My name's Elena. What's yours?" They were baffled by Elena's greeting.

"My name's Logan."

"I'm Chun-Li."

"And I'm Yoruichi." Upon hearing the names, Elena grew excited, happy to meet new people. Yoruichi thought of something. "Hey, Elena, are you participating in this tournament?" she asked.

"Yes I am. Do you want to have a fight?" Elena asked. Her innocence continued to baffle Logan and Yoruichi, the latter of which who nodded. The bikini girl and Flash Goddess got into their positions. "Okay, I'm ready when you are, Miss Yoruichi!"

Something clicked with Chun-Li, so she turned to Logan, who turned back to her. "I just remembered something. Elena's the princess of a tribe in Kenya. She's never been outside of her home village, so that explains her personality," said the Interpol Officer.

"I've never been to Africa before, so I've never seen or heard of Elena until now," Logan said back. Elena started to move around in motions, confusing Yoruichi in the process. Logan, though, recognized the style. "Yoruichi, be careful! That style is called Capoeira! It's a martial art that originated in Brazil and Africa! Elena's not just going to utilize spins and kicks; she's also going to use her legs for defense as well!"

"Thanks for the heads-up! From the looks of things, she was built for it!" All the while, Elena got excited that Logan happened to be an expert on some martial arts. "Of course, Elena," Yoruichi said, getting the princess' attention, "There is a drawback. From what Logan said, I don't believe full-on Capoeira users are allowed to use punches. My style allows me to do that." Elena never lost her smile, happy that she was going to get a challenge from Yoruichi.

Elena started the fight by jumping and kicking towards Yoruichi, who dodged it and struck back with a kick of her own. In the meantime, Guile and Cammy were just waking up, so they rejoined Logan and Chun-Li. Abel followed afterwards. "Yoruichi's a good fighter, but who is she battling against?" Abel asked as Yoruichi and Elena were trading attacks.

"That, Abel, is Princess Elena from Kenya. She uses the Capoeira style from Brazil and Africa," Chun-Li answered. Elena and Yoruichi were having fun with this fight, even if Yoruichi had to limit herself during the tournament. "Those two look like they're having a good time. It'd be a shame if this fight were to end so quickly, though.

Elena tried a combination of spins and kicks, but Yoruichi blocked each one of them. When the Kenyan Princess went into the air, the Flash Goddess got ready for an attack of her own. She struck Elena from multiple angles, keeping her in the air. Finally, Yoruichi finished with a bicycle kick that knocked her opponent back to the ground. When the battle was over, both fighters were out of breath. It was a sight for Logan to behold, especially since he knew Yoruichi was holding back. Still, neither one lost their smiles. "You're a pretty good fighter, Miss Yoruichi," Elena said.

"You're not too bad yourself, Elena. I hope we meet again someday."

"I do too, but I want to fight Logan the next time." This shocked everyone. Logan's shock was eventually replaced with a smile.

"Alright, Princess, I'll accept your challenge the next time we meet," he said. Chun-Li and Yoruichi smiled at the sight of Logan's smile, the latter mainly because it was the first one she had seen since she left him and Soifon together in St. Louis. Elena jumped for joy and ran off to find her next opponent. As Logan smiled on the outside, one thought replaced it with a scowl. 'Watch out, Omaeda. When I get to you, I'll show no mercy,' he thought as he looked up in the sky.

CHAPTER 7 END

Phew! Seven long chapters down and who knows how many to go. And that, ladies and gentlemen, was the start of what I'm going to call the 'Logan and Soifon Arc'. Don't worry; I'll reveal what happened to Ichigo and Rukia eventually. I'm thinking of bringing in Rolento in the next chapter with Guile facing him.

Also, I wrote the last chapter before the 'Ultra Street Fighter IV' digital upgrade came out, so I had no idea of Hugo's potato-themed story. I'll bring him and Poison back in a future chapter as well.

Read and review. I want your thoughts on this before I officially put it as a Bleach/Street Fighter crossover.
