Chapter8 Light Touches

"Mmm…" Yoruichi sighed as she tossed in bed, reaching out for the pillow next to her but instead, she got a sleeping Soi. A frown on her face, she opened her eyes lazily before they almost popped out. Alert now, she froze and cursed herself for bringing Soi too close for comfort. It's been how many times that she had mistaken Soi for a pillow? She sighed and tentatively let go but she didn't scoot away, rather chose to stare into the peaceful face of the woman sleeping next to her, her breathing soft and slow, almost relaxing Yoruichi's nerves and had already started to melt the mild panic from before.

The bright golden eyes started sweeping across Soi's soft features that in the day, would usually be jagged by a solemn expression and a callous attitude. Or at least, to what Yoruichi had seen, that's what she thought but somehow she found Soi Fong a different person as well. The rare smiles that replaced the scowls of annoyance and the small chuckles of amusement were even a breakthrough from the ice of the surface that called itself cruel reality. The stripper wondered if Soi became who she was through her childhood. Yoruichi herself couldn't remember much about hers so she shrugged it off and went to a different subject.

Their deal… Now what was part of it? She had to help Soi with her business with the Boss and in return, Soi provided shelter and… What was it? Yoruichi frowned as she tried to remember and then it came back in a flash. …My every need… The Shihouin grinned when she remembered the night they closed the deal.

(Short) Flashback

Soi stared at her like she was crazy. "Your every need?" she repeated and at the calm nod she was given, she took a deep breath and closed her eyes before opening them to glare at her. "No," she told her, her eyes narrowed and she continued sarcastically, "Are all your boss's strippers perverted?"

Yoruichi just shrugged. "Not all." She smirked when she knew she wasn't supposed to answer. It was a rhetorical question. Her smirk widened at the scowl she received. "Now, look," she said and it caught Soi Fong's attention, "I'm not perverted so you have nothing to worry about." She grinned as Soi Fong gave a small snort of disbelief and continued, "If you don't find it reasonable, then how about this. Not only will I help you with your business with the boss, but I'll… Hm…" She pondered for a bit while Soi just raised an eyebrow.

"Well, how about a wish? I mean, if it's in my power, it'll happen. So, technically it's not a wish, but at the same time, it is." She scratched her head. Now she wonders who has the bad end of the deal. "So, whenever you have that wish of yours, tell me."

Flashback Ends

Soi had not commented about it, just scowled and finally gave in to the deal. Yoruichi wonders what Soi would ask for, when the time comes. The stripper finally brought herself up since she knew that she won't be able to fall asleep anymore and took one last glance at Soi before tiptoeing out the door and into the bathroom. A quick shower should be able to refresh her tired mind.

-------------- - BLEACH -------------

When Soi had awoken, she was disappointed to find no warm body next to her but at the same time, relieved. There were times when she just wanted to run, to put some distance between her and Yoruichi, yet she did not know why. Was it because she was afraid? Soi Fong frowned as she tossed in bed, her tired ears finally picking up on the noise from the bathroom.

She's in the shower, Soi realized and for some unknown reason, her mind flashed at that thought of going in there with the goddess and "accidently" taking a small peek. She waved it away furiously and fought to keep the small blush away from her cheeks before it spread to the rest of her body. She groaned with frustration and decided to stay in bed till Yoruichi comes out from the shower.

The stripper was humming to herself softly. It was only to pass the time on washing her hair and body. She took good care of herself and the magnificent figure of hers was the reward for such good tending. She sighed happily as the warm water ran down her back and went down her beautiful chest as she turned with slightly closed eyes. Finally choosing to end the relaxing shower, she turned off the water and grabbed a nearby towel.

-------------- - BLEACH -------------

Soi's eyes were slowly drooping again and she wondered exasperatingly if she should just surrender and go back to sleep. She didn't work today so there was nothing to worry about. Except for Yoruichi. But because of her tired mind, she just put it aside while thinking that the woman can care for herself and there was nothing to worry about. She would've fallen asleep if the door hadn't been opened.

"Whoa!" She yelped as she quickly sat up with wide eyes but instead fell down to the floor, along with the clean sheets of her blankets.

Yoruichi winced as she heard a thud and closed the door behind her slowly. "Sorry about that Soi. I didn't know you were awake and, well, I forgot to--Here, let me help you," Yoruichi offered as she came close to a tangled Soi who was slightly panicking.

When Soi felt the stripper's slightly damp hand touch her through the sheets, she flinched and tried to twist away, but the hand kept her in place as the other tried to get her out of the mess of sheets. Kami, why am I so embarrassed?! Soi thought frantically as her heart started to slow down. She hadn't even knew it had sped up but once she caught up with breathing, she found that it had. Yoruichi is just another woman. I can handle her!

But when Soi looked up from the still concentrating Yoruichi, her eyes widened and she almost fainted when she saw that the only thing stopping her from seeing the naked body of the goddess, was one of Soi's towels that had now become slightly loose from the firm knot it was before. Kami, please help me… Soi thought tormentedly and she started to feel giddy as Yoruichi finally got Soi loose from the sheets. It was a surprisingly difficult task.

"There! Are you okay? I mean, you didn't get hurt from the fall did you?" The worried voice of the woman kneeling next to her brought Soi's attention swiveling towards her and Soi Fong's eyes couldn't help but be entranced by the goddess before her.

"Uh, yeah…," Soi cursed inwardly at herself at the feeble answer, "I am, but…" She shook her head and changed the subject. "W-what were you saying before..? You know, when you came in…" She blinked up at Yoruichi and waited for her answer, the two sitting close, but still far apart from each other.

It took a few seconds for Yoruichi to remember and figure out what Soi was talking about, but her mind clicked into gear and she gave a sheepish grin, her arm coming up to scratch her still slightly wet head in embarrassment. "Oh yeah, well I forgot my change of clothes here so I came in to change since I thought you would still be asleep, but…" she shrugged and let the sentence carry on while Soi's mouth was ajar as she looked at her incredulously.

"And what would happen if I had suddenly woken up and found you naked and changing right in front of my bed?"

Yoruichi blinked. "Uh… Something bad might've happened?" she guessed.

"Uh huh," Soi Fong answered with a slight nod of her head. "And you don't want to find out what would happen, right?" She looked at the stripper intently with a small rise of an eyebrow.

Yoruichi responded with a smirk. "I don't know… I think your reaction to things are quite entertaining. Especially when it's about--"

Soi cut her off with a glare and sighed exasperatedly when the woman giggled. "Just go change. I'll leave the room." As Soi left and closed the door, she heard Yoruichi call out, "You have my permission to peek, Soi Fong! This is your house, after all!" Soi completely ignored it and went to pace around. She needed to cool off her blush.

When Yoruichi came out, her hair was pretty much dried, letting her hair loose from its formal ponytail and instead of clothes, she wore a partly see-through robe with only lingerie underneath. If Soi had been drinking she was sure she would've spat it out and look at Yoruichi in no way that a woman should. Soi could only stare as she came gliding by, smiling with a hint of mischief, as she whispered into Soi's ear, "Like what you see?" and blush as Yoruichi walked away with a sway of the hips. Soi shook her head and mentally scolded herself. She knew that Yoruichi was just teasing. Just teasing.

But when she glanced up again, she saw Yoruichi glance back at her with a broad grin on her face but her eyes showed something else. It looked as if she was taunting her and Soi knew that Yoruichi knew that she could see her body whether she liked it or not and that made Soi swallow. How the hell did Yoruichi become so… It's like she's trying to seduce me or something! Soi was bewildered at the thought and averted her gaze. Instead, she looked out towards the window in her living room and could see that the sky still had pink blotches, creating a nice scene for the two.

Yoruichi smirked as Soi turned away. Like Soi, she didn't know where this feeling had come from. She had just felt like flirting with Soi, give her little hints of innocence yet still making it look seductive. Speaking of which…

A sly smile coming up, she walked slowly towards the couch where Soi was seated and sat herself down, her golden eyes never leaving Soi's body. She saw the younger woman tense before forcefully trying to relax. The stripper's eyes watched as Soi Fong's back moved with each breath Soi took and before she could stop herself, her hand had reached out and slowly touched Soi's firm back, her finger stroking it with an air of sensuality and she could hear Soi's breath hitch.

"Y-Yoruichi?" she asked in a whisper, her voice quiet with a tremble hidden within and she visibly shuddered. "Wha…What are you doing?" Soi turned her head back to face the stripper, a confused expression across her face.

Yoruichi didn't know how to answer. This feeling she had for Soi, it was unusual, but pleasant at the same time. It caused an uneasiness to flow through her at first, making her feel giddy, and then her heart somewhat clenches, making her become breathless and some kind of excitement starts to flow through her veins. It was as if there was something burning inside her, like she was maybe aching for Soi. Something from Soi. Maybe a touch but, a different touch other than those occasional ones where you brush against them in pure accident. She wanted those touches that she only found in bed but the ones she ever experienced were rough and wild with lust. Her mind had started to wonder how Soi would touch her if they ever had…

"Yoruichi?"

Snapping out of whatever she was stuck on, the stripper blinked and looked up towards Soi Fong. "Uh, yes?"

"Your hand. It's still on my back…" Soi looked like she was uncomfortable with the situation and her eyes had swept down to the carpet. It was a wonder how Soi could be so childlike and embarrassed when at others she would be cold and somewhat anti-social. It bothered, yet pleased the Shihouin that Soi revealed this side of hers. It was like she trusted to see her in both ways, yet it bothered her because she wanted Soi to act like herself. Which side was real? Which side a facade? Or are they both Soi Fong?

Yoruichi shook her head and took her hand slowly off Soi's back but brushed against it softly to see Soi close her eyes briefly in what looked like contentment. Yoruichi's thoughts were confusing her so she decided to stop thinking for awhile.

Suddenly, the notion that Soi Fong may be thinking why she had placed her palm there, Yoruichi quickly thought of something and it made her grin. "Ne, Soi Fong?" When she had Soi's attention, she asked cheerfully, "Do you want a massage? I was about to give you one but I guess I spaced out!"

Soi blinked and, was that a blush? Man, Yoruichi couldn't understand how Soi Fong can look so cute and still be sexy as hell. "Uh, there is no need, Yoruichi," she told the stripper politely, "I'm sure--"

"Nah, stop protesting Soi! I'm gonna give you a massage and you're gonna enjoy it!" When Soi was going to open her mouth to say that she wasn't protesting, just politely not accepting, Yoruichi had pushed her face down onto the couch and smartly sat on her butt with both legs spread apart on each side of Soi and her hands flat against her back. "Just be quiet and relax, Soi. I know what I'm doing and I'll tell you that these hands of mine are very skilled in giving pleasure."

Soi madly blushed at the suggesting tone in her voice and not only that, but the warmth coming from the woman on top of her were giving her chills and shocks of pleasure rippled their way through her body and down to the area just below her belly button. She couldn't believe what was happening to her. Am I becoming perverted? she wondered and dread instantly filled her.

But when those heavenly hands started rubbing her back and shoulders, Soi's eyes almost rolled back and a low moan issued, causing both of them surprise but Soi was too lost on the pleasure that Yoruichi was giving her. "Yoruichi…," she moaned softly, her eyes still closed as her body visibly relaxed to the goddess's touch.

When Soi moaned her name, the stripper couldn't help but have her temperature rise dramatically and an uncharacteristic blush formed on her cheeks. She moaned my name, she thought, almost bewildered as her hands continued to do pleasure. The fact that she was riding Soi's sexy ass, including that the only thing Yoruichi was wearing was her light robe and lingerie and the robe had to be moved away since she couldn't sit on Soi if she didn't, only increased that same burning down below.

A small moan escaped her lips as well and every time her hands moved on Soi's back, her most private part would rub against the woman's ass underneath her and make her moan a little louder each time.

A few more minutes of this and Soi would have almost fallen asleep if her mind hadn't gathered up the energy to tell Yoruichi to get off and that she had had enough and was thankful for the massage but she had other things to do. But once Soi was slightly shaken out of sleepy mode and Yoruichi was still massaging, Soi turned, making Yoruichi moan but the Chinese woman didn't seem to have heard it and before the striper could put her hands on Soi Fong's chest, Soi quickly grabbed them and caught Yoruichi's attention at last.

"I think…," she said and found that her voice had come out in a low, breathless whisper though she didn't feel like questioning it at the time, "…we've had enough of this massaging…don't you think?" Grey eyes flickered upwards and automatically scanned Yoruichi's chest that was now clearly visible to her and was in fact, in arms reach where she could just…

"Y-yeah," Yoruichi replied, her voice coming out husky as Soi's did and the younger one could've sworn that her eyes were a tad darker than before but then her train of thought was cut off by the smirk on the woman's face.

"What?" Soi asked, puzzled by the sudden quirk of the lips.

"Since I'm done, how about you massage me? You know, I scratch your back, you scratch mine. But in this case, you massage mine and--"

"I get it, I get," Soi replied hastily, "But do I have to--"

"Yep!"

Soi Fong sighed. "All right, let's switch places." When she heard a silent laughter, she shot Yoruichi a WTF look.

The woman only shrugged and explained impishly, "The way you said it. 'Let's switch places'. It was funny." She cracked a grin, her eyes now lit up with laughter.

Soi only scowled and turned her face away to hide the blush that was starting to come back. "Whatever."

Once they had switched places and they were all ready, Soi started to say nervously, "I'm not so good at massaging like you are so--"

Yoruichi waved her hand and she looked completely relaxed. "Massage," was all she said as she sank into the couch and pillows. "Oh, wait!" When she waved Soi to get off, Yoruich quickly slid her robe off, causing Soi to widen her misty grey eyes, and smirked at the blushing Soi as she said, "All right, now we're ready to begin."

The first time Soi placed her hands on Yoruichi's back, she was hesitant and amazed to see the tanned woman shudder in what she thought was delight. When her hands started to caress the soft skin, she was pleased to hear the woman emit a moan and continued to do this as her eyes wandered Yoruichi's body. This may, after all, be the last time Soi could look at her like this, without the bright golden eyes staring back at her and looking as if she knew something she did not.

Her hands brushed Yoruichi's sides and she saw the woman turn her head slightly to glance at her, giving her a smile that said she was thoroughly enjoying it. Soon, Soi's hands started to become ambitious and went off to roam the more-than-perfect body underneath her and that amazement she had felt before was still there with her and growing. Yoruichi truly is a goddess.

"Soi…," Yoruichi mumbled, her eyes fluttering closed as she moaned right after, "…You're so goooooood." That made Soi Fong blush and her hands became shy again but was urged on once more. Her hands brushed at the sides another time but now, her fingers felt Yoruichi's breasts and the little movement the stripper did made Soi think that she did it in a desperate way to get Soi closer to her chest. Though, Soi might be imagining it.

I am becoming perverted, she thought helplessly and sighed as she stopped. Yoruichi blinked and looked back towards Soi with a confused and pleading expression.

"Why'd you stopped Soi Fong?"

Soi just shook her head. "I think we've had enough. I'm gonna go make something to eat. You can go do whatever and I'll call you when I'm done."

When Soi got up, Yoruichi couldn't help but snatch her arm and turn Soi around. "Wait," she said but she didn't know what else to say. She bit her lip. "Can I help, too? I'm not so good at cooking so maybe you can help me learn." A hopeful grin graced her lips and Soi couldn't help but give in.

She nodded. "Yeah, but make sure to put on that robe; I don't want a naked woman walking around my house."

The stripper smirked. "I am wearing lingerie."

At this Soi snorted and headed for the kitchen. "In that, I'll consider you naked. Really, it looks like you're really asking for it."

"Well, I am a stripper," she called out to Soi and she chuckled when Soi yelled back, "Stripper my ass! You ain't working right now, are you?!" When Yoruichi didn't reply (she was too busy laughing) Soi called back, "I thought so! Hurry up and get in here!"

Seriously, whatever happened to that Soi who was massaging my back? Then Yoruichi thought, But I don't mind Soi being like this. It's actually funny.

In the kitchen, Soi was still recovering from the massage the two gave each other and she involuntarily shivered. Why does Yoruichi make me feel this way?
