Falling Together
Chapter Nineteen - To Hate a Loved One
NOTE: Actually, I'm no fan of same sex relationships, but I don't hate it. (As matter of fact I support it greatly!) This chapter doesn't really seem all Yaoi if you think about it. It's just the jealousy Soi Fong has for the affection Urahara receives. She just wants to be admired like him by the same person. That's the message I want everyone to get after reading this chapter.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ichimaru had suddenly disappeared and she found herself stuck with him in the same room. They were instructed to not leave their post, so it was only natural for them to stay there loathing each other's presence. "Will you quit that!?" The woman growled angrily after hearing Urahara's whistling for more than twenty minutes. "Why don't you do something useful?" She muttered to herself sitting down on a broken staircase crouching down.
"It's not like your doing something useful." Urahara sung annoyingly while leaning against a broken post. He flipped his sword around making Soi Fong feel uncomfortable.
"If that thing hits me I'm going to kill you." She hissed backing away from Urahara. She knew how clumsy he could get. After those countless training times with him, she knew how bad he was with holding things.
"Don't worry, I won't aim for you." He smiled making her turn scarlet with fury. "Hey, Hey, Hey. I was just kidding." He murmured and sighed. "You're always like that, you know." He replied with sleepiness and yawned. Soi Fong stuck her tongue out like a child and crossed her arms over her chest. It was cold in the desert, and the air was going through the broken cracks of the castle walls. "You cold?" Urahara asked handing her his jacket. She slapped his hand away and turned her head to a different direction. "Cold as usual." He sung rolling his eyes. He could feel her reiatsu burning up.
"JUST SHUT UP WILL YOU!?" She shouted taking a piece of broken marble and throwing it at him. Luckily he had blocked it with his spinning blade and it fell on the floor breaking into more tiny pieces. "Jeez." She murmured. "Are you this annoying?" She asked gritting her teeth. "I wonder why she loves you when you're so irritating." She grumbled, and he heard her clearly.
"Because I'm more fun than you are." Urahara grinned and earned a slap. He touched his raw cheek and scowled at her. Such an arrogant woman. "Ow." He complained rubbing his red flesh. He could hear her grunt. "That hurt."
"Its supposed to." She smiled wickedly and then turned away from him once more. Urahara rolled his eyes and proceeded to rub himself.
"Lousy…Bitch." He muttered under his breath. Unfortunately the hard-headed woman heard every word he tried to whisper to himself.
"What the hell did you say?" Soi Fong questioned standing up. She was not in a good mood, obviously. Urahara shut his mouth and shrugged like a confused child. She pulled out her sword, which seemed to have been a small dagger that fit perfectly on one of her fingers. Urahara stood away from her. Far away. "I asked you to tell me what you had said." She hissed in a hot temper.
"N-Nothing! You must have been hearing things." He teased softly, but he knew he was going to be in so much trouble. Soi Fong licked her short sword and smiled with a killing intent. "Soi Fong! What are you doing?" Urahara asked, staring at her and pulling out his katana as well. She shrugged.
"What do you think?"

Ichigo entered the white room. It was a dome shape area, and many lights were scattered throughout the ceiling wall. He stared at the center, finding a figure in front of him. Slowly walking towards him. "Rukia…" He whispered coming closer to the shady person. He reached out and touched the soft flesh of his wife.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was quite sudden, how it all happened. Urahara was now running crazy trying to avoid every touch of Soi Fong's blade. It was a legendary sword, and he knew all of it's secrets. Suzumebachi was quite a fierce enemy, and he knew he couldn't survive against it. "C-Can we just talk?!" He screamed, literally spitting at her. Soi Fong continued to slash against him.
"Why would I want to talk?" The woman asked agitated at the man's innocent nature. She hated him. She hated how he managed to do things she couldn't. How he grew Yoruichi's admiration. How he became Yoruichi's inspiration, and not her. "Why would I want to talk to you?" She grumbled biting her lower lip, ignoring the fact that she was purposely missing her opponent. Urahara had taken notice of her change of emotion.
"So is this about Yoruichi?" He asked, halting. Soi Fong took her sword and slashed it vertically. He simply parried the attack and stared at her seriously.
"How dare you!? She is Yoruichi-sama!" She hissed angrily, hot tears streaming down from her eyes. Urahara took her sword, the legendary sword, and threw it across the floor. She was weak when it came to feelings. That was her only enemy.
"Why do you detest me?" Urahara asked, trying to find out what was wrong with him and Yoruichi. She knelt down feeling useless.
"It's your fault!" She angrily shouted gritting her teeth. A picture of a happy Yoruichi reached her mind as she cried hopelessly. "It's your fault that I feel this way!" She cried louder, wailing like the child she saw in Urahara.
He didn't know what to say. He knew how much she admired the woman of his life, but he never knew how greatly it impacted her when she first heard of their engagement.
"It was the day when you announced your engagement." Soi Fong whispered in a quiet tone. He looked down upon her and stared into her lifeless eyes. "I didn't know what to feel." She replied to herself laughing giddily. Urahara continued to gaze at her petty figure. Such a powerful woman, falling because of his love for her master.
"I was happy." She whispered. "But at the same time I was enraged." She grumbled angrily and got up. The sandal-hat backed away from her and shielded himself with his sword. She had an extreme intent to kill. She needed to kill him in order to have Yoruichi all to herself.
It was fast. She was fast. She had immediately grabbed Suzumebachi and let it slit through his right shoulder. Thankfully he managed to escape the tip of it's point. He could feel such intense strength that had entered his body. Everything became dizzy. The past several minutes he had only been dodging and not attacking. He felt useless. He could do nothing.
And then.
He fell.
"Shit." Urahara grumbled to himself trying to get up. Soi Fong stepped on his chest and smiled crazily. Urahara stared at her emotionless. "Why can't I feel my limbs?" He asked himself trying to move his fingers, but they didn't function.
"Suzumebachi. A poison that causes paralysis was injected when I slashed you." Soi Fong answered simply and smiled. She bent low and ripped the fabric of his shoulder. A flower-like symbol was attached to his skin. His eyes widened. "You know what happens, when I hit you the second time." She grinned. Urahara closed his eyes.
"If it ends like this…I guess it's fine." Urahara replied, Soi Fong smiled appreciating his admittance to defeat. She took her small sword and was about to kill him. "However…" Urahara replied weakly, staring at her annoyed expression. "How will Yoruichi feel if she knew I died…? And you killed me?" He asked bitterly. The irritated expression turned into a flash of hurt and surprise. She dropped her sword.
"Dammit…" She cried. "Why can't I just live with her happily?" She asked crying.
"Because Yoruichi knows you'll be with someone better…" Urahara breathed lightly and smiled. He got up and embraced the woman.
She began to cry and pushed him lightly away from her. "It's Yoruichi-sama." She replied wiping her tears. He smiled and continued to embrace her.
