Early morning in Seireitei:

Soi giggled as Yoruichi gently rubbed her stomach.

It had been one week since Yoruichi came back, and Kise had been set to a seemingly crazy woman to marry.

Yoruichi would occasionally sneak into Soi's room in the middle of the night.

Soi watched as Yoruichi rubbed her stomach looking very happy.

"What are you thinking?" Soi asked quietly.

'There's no way I can tell her.' Yoruichi was trying to come up with a quick lie.

"Nothing really."

"Liar."

She could always tell.

"Why do you always do that every time you come in here?"

"I like your laugh." Not a total lie. Yoruichi loved Soi's laugh. But she loved her fantasy of Soi's belly even more.

"That's not all is it?"

Damn! She was good!

"It nothing really." Yoruichi insisted.

Soi hummed but let it go.

Yoruichi watched Soi fall asleep.

She looked down and shifted the blanket away from Soi.

She kissed Soi's belly. She wondered how Soi would handle it when she told her.

'How will I tell her. She already knows I'm crazy about her. Maybe its way to soon to tell her.'

Yoruichi continued to absentmindedly rub Soi's stomach as she drifted off.

Jr. groaned as sunlight hit her closed eyes suddenly.

She tried to stretch, and remembered Lee was still there.

Looking over at the younger she froze.

Her hand clutched her nose to stop the bleeding.

Lee's wrappings had come undone during the night.

She was laying there half naked and clutching Jr.'s hand.

Her hair had also snapped from her hair band.

Jr. couldn't think of anything more beautiful.

Lee opened her eyes slowly.

Stormy eyes adjusted on Jr. and smiled happily.

"Morning."

"Umm." Jr. still clutched her increasing nosebleed.

"Hmm?" Lee sat up looking curiously at Jr.

Finally getting her other hand, Jr. pointed to Lee.

Lee seemed confused but looked down. She screamed and scrambled to cover herself.

"I'm sorry."

"Huh?" What did she have to be sorry about.

Lee ran into the bathroom. Jr. followed trying to swipe at her bloody nose.

"Ecchi!" Lee shouted as Jr. walked into the bathroom after her.

"I need to clean my nose."

"That can wait!" Lee shouted.

"No it can't." Jr. snatched up a damp washcloth and scrubbed at her face.

Lee backed away as Jr. threw the cloth into the sink. "Why?"

"Look Lee…I…I can't really explain how I feel."

The stormy eyed girl softened her expression.

"I…want to be with you all the time. I…I just….I can't explain it." Jr. looked at her feet.

Her eyes widened when Lee pressed her lips against her own.

Jr. closed her eyes, returned the kiss, and wrapped her arms around Lee's waist.

Lee's arms slithered up and around Jr. neck.

It was a simple chaste kiss, but Jr. never felt so good. Lee felt the same.

They pulled out of the kiss. Jr. nuzzled the side of Lee's head.

Lee mewled softly at the action. "Please tell me what you feel."

"I…I…," Jr. trailed off. She had never said those words to anyone but a family member. But this was completely different.

"You…what?" She ran a hand across one of Jr.'s scars.

"I…," she gently placed a hand under Lee's chin and lifted her head up. "I love you."

Lee smiled brilliantly. She'd never been so happy. "I love you too."

Jr. smiled and kissed her softly.

'Happy.' Was the similar thought.

"Finally a real vacation!" Kise shouted as they walked out of the gateway into the real world.

"It's winter." Lee said looking around.

"Good thing we came prepared." Yoruichi wrapped her arm around Soi's shoulders.

The group was dressed in warm black clothes.

Well…Yoruichi had on her orange jacket.

Soi & Lee had a small beanie caps pulled securely over their heads.

Kise wore earmuffs.

Jr. and Yoruichi didn't have anything on their heads, but they all wore scarf's.

Soi pulled her small black jacket around herself tighter. Yoruichi pulled her in more.

"Well…let's move folks." Jr. looked back at Lee, who smiled and walked up to her.

Jr. wrapped her arm around Lee's shoulder and started walking to their temporary house.

"I hear its gunna be….Christmas, I believe it was called, soon around here." Kise spoke up while taking it all in.

He had never seen snow, Yoruichi and Jr. had. Lee remembered seeing it once, though she can't remember where.

"Let's hope its warm when we get there." Soi whimpered. She hated the cold.

Yoruichi kissed the top of her head.

Soi smiled at the affection. Kise rolled his eyes.

How come they got to be with nice girls and he got the bitch!?

It wasn't fair!

XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX

It turns out, the people who set up their place, didn't do such a bad job.

They had decorated the living room for the holiday.

A large tree stood in the center.

Kise clapped his hands excitedly. "We get to decorate it Lee!"

Lee laughed at his exuberance. "we'll do it tomorrow. We have two days till Christmas."

"Yes! Hurry up and go to sleep." He ran upstairs.

The women stood there awkwardly for a moment.

"Let's go Lee." Jr. tugged her along.

"Night." Soi called.

Silence

"Soi?"

"Hmm?"

"Do you….do you like me?" Yoruichi asked cautiously.

"Very much." Soi answered honestly.

"Do you think….do you think you could love me someday?"

"…Yes."

"….Thank you."

"You don't have to thank me."

"But I wanted to." Yoruichi took Soi's hand and followed the others upstairs.

"Hey…our names are on the doors. Koolio." Yoruichi said walking down the hall.

"So…my room or yours?" Soi asked quietly.

"You…you actually want to sleep with me?"

"We aren't gunna do anything." Soi cleared.

"Yours then."

Soi laughed as they walked into her room.

XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX

"Where are they?"

Yoruichi and Jr. sat in the living room. Jr. was toying with a small decoration.

"They should be down soon. Lee told me they were getting ready."

"For what?"

"The holiday. It is Christmas."

"Yeah…I can't believe was stayed in bed all day yesterday."

"Me neither."

Silence

"Hey!" Kise's voice shouted down. "You ladies ready?"

"Yeah! Get down here!" Jr. called back.

"Alright! Knock 'em down ladies." They heard him whisper to Soi and Lee.

"I don't want to do this, its embarrassing." They heard Soi whisper.

"You look great, go on." Kise answered.

They heard Soi growl softly and then silence.

Soi and Lee walked out and up next to the tree.

Yoruichi thought she would pass out right then. Jr. felt the same.

They both had on fake black cat ears with Santa caps.

But that wasn't why the twin cousins were captured.

They had on little red dresses with red shawls. The hems of the collar, end of the shawls, and the dress were trimmed with white.

They had little cat tails too, with knee high red boots.

If it weren't for their eyes and hair, Yoruichi and Jr. wouldn't be able to tell them apart.

"Well?" Kise walked from behind them.

He wore a red shirt with black jeans.

"Good god." Jr. walked up to Lee. Who was blushing softly.

She wrapped her up in her arms. "My girl is a total hottie."

Yoruichi moved toward Soi. "Wow. You look…fantastic."

Soi's face was burning. "Thank you."

Yoruichi smiled and kissed her on the forehead.

"Alright, alright. Let's decorate this tree!" Kise snapped.

The girls laughed and settled down to decorate the tree.

XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX

"So how was your trip?" Ichi asked quietly.

"Fun." Lee answered.

She and her father were walking through a strawberry field.

It had been Kise's idea to plant the seeds. Lee and Soi agreed happily.

It had been three months since Yoruichi had come back. Soi had gone back under her supervision for training.

Lee and Kise had gotten quite good. Lee had sword training after this small chat.

"I heard you had quite the costume for the holidays."

"I did."

"You like that Jr. kid don't you?"

Lee blushed and looked away.

"Yes."

"I wanna talk to her face-to-face."

"You've met already Papa."

"I know. But I want to walk to her."

"I have sword training after this. You can talk then."

"Let's go then."

Lee followed after her father quietly.

XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX

Jr. looked up as someone entered Soi & Yoruichi's Sakura grove.

She jumped up and scrambled for her words when she saw Ichi walking up to her with her daughter trailing behind.

"Uh…heh…how ya doin Miss Fong?" Stupid thing to say to a future in-law.

"Hello Jr." Ichi stood with a smirk on her face. "Can talk to you over there for a second?" Ichi pointed ahead.

"Uh…yeah sure." Jr. looked back at Lee who smiled encouragingly, giving her a thumbs-up.

XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX

"Uh…so what did you want to talk to me about?" Jr. shuffled her feet nervously.

"Jr. you see my girl back there?" She pointed back to Lee.

"Yeah."

"That's my only little girl. And if you hurt her…you remember one thing." Ichi held up one finger.

"What's that?" Jr. was seriously starting to freak.

"I got no problems killing you and being thrown back in prison." Ichi gave Jr. a sickeningly sweet smile and walked away.

XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX

Lee looked up as Ichi walked past. "Papa?"

"Have a good training session baby girl." Ichi called.

Lee looked over as Jr. walked up to her. She looked shaken by the little talk.

"What did she say?"

"Nothing. Let's uh…lets start training."

"Okay." Lee looked amused by Jr. obvious fear of her Papa.

XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX

"Soi?"

"Yes?"

"Can we…can we give it a try?"

"Give what a try?"

They were laying in Soi's bed. Yoruichi was…of course rubbing Soi's tummy.

"Us." She looked up at the smaller girl.

"I want to…but Yoruichi…how can I when you might run of again. I'm not gunna line myself up for a relationship just to get hurt again. You have to really stay here."

"I know, I know. And I'm…I'm totally willing commit to staying by your side."

"But for how long Yoruichi? A few month…a few years? How long?"

"Forever."

"…What if forever's not long enough."

"We'll make it that way then." Yoruichi sat up.

Soi smiled and leaned up to Yoruichi, wrapped her arms around her neck and kissed her on the cheek.

Yoruichi grinned and pressed her lips fully to the younger's.

Soi moaned when Yoruichi slipped her tongue into her mouth.

They fell back onto the futon.
