ChapterO4
A/N-Hi guys, I know it's been a long while and sorry for taking so long but I had my mid years. I've also been spending most of my time working on my other story which is on fictionpress. That story has been getting most of my attention because I want to finish it first but I couldn't stay away from Streetwise completely. And thank you to everyone who's ever reviewed my story, it means heaps.
I hope this chapter isn't too bad, please enjoy.
Cheers.

Normal POV
"Soi-chaan!" the boy screamed his joy, running back to the 19 year old.
Soi stumbled forward a little as Akio latched himself to her legs.
"Soi-chan, Soi-chan! Yoru-chan said she would play with Akio and Soi-chan today!" he grinned, forgetting all previous fake anger he had towards Yoruichi.
'Oh lord, didn't he pay attention to what I wrote?'
The two walked back over to the bench to see Yoruichi sitting up, grinning. Soi fon glared and the grin only widened.
"Aww, don't look at me like that" the 24 year old said.
"Come on Soi-chan, let's go take Akio to the beach" Yoruichi stood up.
Akio squealed, pulling on Soi's worn jacket.
"Can we go Soi-chan, can we go?" he asked with puppy eyes.
A stiff nod in reply and the 4 year old grabbed their back pack, eager to go to the beach, which he had never been to or seen before. The 19 year old turned back to Yoruichi and the woman smiled, cocking her head to the side.
"Any problems Soi-chan?" she asked.
Silence with a glare.
"Don't call you that? I know, that's why I do" she smirked, walking after Akio.
Soi fon rolled her eyes, trailing them with slow hesitant steps.
"But first, let's get Akio a swim suit" the girl heard Yoruichi say, taking Akio's hand.
"But Yoru-chan," the little boy looked up at the tall woman.
"What's a swim suit?" he asked, blinking.
Yoruichi smiled,
"I'll show you"
"Come on Soi-chan!" the purple haired woman called over her shoulder.
The three ended up in a surf shop across from the beach where Soi leaned against the window, having absolutely no intention of going swimming. Honestly, she was still thinking of what she could do to change the situation, no, to get out of the situation.
"Soi-chan, lookie!" Akio bounced out, still holding onto Yoruichi's hand.
Soi fon looked down at the boy, taking note of his small board shorts and loose shirt that had Mickey Mouse printed everywhere. The 19 year old then cut her eyes up to look at the older woman when said woman interrupted her.
"Don't look so sad because you, my friend," a pair of black board shorts and a small tee landed on her face.
"Have something to wear too" Yoruichi grinned.
The asian girl clawed the articles of clothing from her face,
"Does Soi-chan like? Akio chose the shirt!" Akio pointed to the white tee with a plain vertical stripe from the shoulder running down. Soi nodded, despite her current position and Akio hugged her legs before scurrying off to the beach. The raven haired girl pulled Yoruichi back when she stepped forward,
"Huh?" the 24 year old raised a perfect brow.
Without a word, like always, she stuffed her hand into her pocket and took out all the money she had and thrust it into the darker hand with a glare.
The clothes given to her were not going to be worn but she had to pay the purple haired woman either way. The older of the two looked down at the various notes and coins in her palm and managed a smile.
"You know I'm not exactly giving these clothes to you right. Course there's a price, I get to see you in them" she smirked.
Soi glowered and turned away following after Akio, clearly fuming. Yoruichi laughed brightly at the younger girl, watching her eye the shorts that were a little shorter than expected.
She then ushered the 19 year old to the public toilets to get changed whilst she herself stripped down to her light red two piece. Gawking eyes settled on her luscious lean body but she ignored them and ruffled Akio's hair.
"Come on, help spread the towels for me little man" she smiled, handing him a cream colored towel that was taller than him. The 4 year old struggled to lay the towel down on the crunchy sand and crawled on all fours to smooth the edges in cute, small motions.
The two seated themselves on one of the two towels with Akio in Yoruichi's lap, waiting patiently for Soi. 10 minutes passed by and there was still no sign of the girl.
"Yoru-chan, is Soi-chan ok?" he murmured, looking in the direction of the change-rooms.
"Course she's fine, she'll be out in no time. Soi-chan wouldn't leave Akio here" she comforted the little boy by rubbing his back gently. True to her words, Soi appeared from the change-rooms with her clothes bunched up in her hands to cover her exposed legs. She then walked nervously to the two while the 24 year old grinned.
"Aww, doesn't Soi-chan look great?" she asked Akio.
"Yeah! Soi-chan looks pretty!" he yelled, running to the younger girl.
A little surprised at the excited 4 year old, Soi dropped her jackets and pants when said boy jumped into her arms, revealing her creamy calves and thighs. Yoruichi was clearly admiring the view and decided to wolf-whistle the girl to let her know just how much she was enjoying it. The asian girl glared and picked up her clothes from the floor, walking over to the dark woman who only smirked. There was a light scowl evident on her face accompanied by a light blush and then a turn of the head once Soi noticed what Yoruichi was wearing.
She filled the two piece out quite nicely, curvy at all the right places and she was quite aware that the woman was attracting males and females and whatnot but decided only she needed to know.
"Oh don't be shy" the purple haired woman pulled the pieces of clothing from the 19 year old's hands to drop them next to their towel.
Akio smiled and took Soi's hand, pulling her to the water with gentle waves crashing back into the sand.
"Whee!" the boy jumped into the slightly cold water, pressing his feet down onto the damp sand to produce his small footprints. He didn't notice how awkward the older girl was feeling in those short shorts and almost skin-tight tee he had chosen for her, which Yoruichi (of course) had changed to a smaller size. She constantly pulled at the bottom of the white tee with her free hand, cursing at it silently. When that didn't work, she resorted to pulling at her shorts to at least make it reach her knees, which the material refused to slip lower. With a barely audible sigh, she gave up and flinched at the voice behind her.
"Ah much better, if you ask me the shorts could've been a little shorter" Yoruichi held less than a centimeter of thin air between her thumb and forefinger to prove her point. Soi clenched and then unclenched her fist in pure annoyance, looking away yet still aware of the boy continuously jumping at her side.
"Cheer up kid!" the 24 year old said.
Without warning, a dark arm was slung round her neck in almost what was a headlock and there was a quick flash. She felt slightly dizzy afterwards, taking a step back to recover from the sudden light. She knew it was a camera but it had been since so long when she had even touched one. Let alone being in a photo at all. To clear her head, she rubbed at her eyes a little harder than necessary, hearing the woman speak again.
"Oh, and we forgot about the little one down there!" she exclaimed with a small laugh.
The warmth at her shoulders and neck was gone as she slid down next to Akio and grinned at the camera whilst Akio looked at the piece of technology in awe.
"Wow…" he reached out for the camera, his blue eyes staring straight at the lens when another flash attacked him.
He laughed and giggled before running after Yoruichi for the camera, leaving Soi looking after them with a small smile in place.
"Yoru-chan, Yoru-chan!" the boy whined, having not gotten any closer to the woman who was still running away.
With a sly grin in place, the 19 year old bolted off after the older woman with surprising speed for someone of her small frame. The raven haired girl reached Yoruichi with the added element of surprise, able to yank the camera from her grip.
"Hey, you little sneak!" she narrowed her eyes playfully.
Akio squealed at the victory as Soi kneeled down before the 4 year old and handed him the camera, ruffling his hair.
"You do know that this isn't fair right? It's freaken two against one!" Yoruichi pointed an accusing finger at the pair.
The asian girl began writing on the sand slowly before taking the slim camera from Akio's grasp slowly and ran. Yoruichi was left alone with Akio reading the messy words sprawled onto the sand.
Catch me if you can
Soi was feeling a little playful today, just a little. Plus that ego of hers was flaring up.
The 24 year old raised a brow before smirking, the younger girl was obviously underestimating her as she cupped Akio's cheek gently.
"Stay here Akio, ok?" she said.
His messy hair bobbed up and down with his eager nodding before her showed all his teeth in a blinding smile.
"Yoru-chan won't catch Soi-chan! Soi-chan win!" he cheered.
"Oh, we'll see about that"
Her purple hair flowed behind her back as the wind went against her entire being, squinting her eyes slightly to see the small figure of Soi continuing to run. She forced her legs to run faster even with the heavy sinking into the sand and almost slipped when Soi fon decided to change directions and spun back to their original spot on the beach.
With a quick breath, she followed once again and when she was close enough, lunged and caught the younger girl's ankle in her grip, pulling her down.
Needless to say, the 19 year old was a little shocked and felt a little hot when she felt the woman crawl up the length of her body when she flipped back over onto her back.
"Not so cocky now are we?" Yoruichi teased, holding her camera in her hand.
The two might not have noticed but they were attracting quite a lot of attention from the wide range of audiences on the beach.
"Look mummy, they're making babies!" a toddler pointed at the two girls with his face scrunched up. Soi snapped up and in the process almost bumped their heads together if the darker woman had not moved back also.
"Ah, smart little girl" she grinned, not at all shy.
Soi pushed at the older girls shoulders a little roughly and stood up, dusting herself off, watching Yoruichi do the same, though a smug look was plastered on her face permanently. The 19 year old scowled, although she was starting a hold a grudging respect against the elder.
"Oh no, Soi-chan lost" Akio came running to the two, noticing the object in the older woman's hand.
"Of course, now let's go for a swim" she offered, putting her camera away.
"Plus, you guys really need a good bath" she added, wrinkling her nose.
The 4 year old pouted before lifting his arms and burying his nose in the space, taking small sniffs. Yoruichi burst into laughter and Soi pushed his arms down with care, trying not to smile.
"Akio don't smell" he shook his head.
"You are such a cutie" the 24 year old smiled.
"Come on Soi-chan, Yoru-chan. Play with Akio!" he pulled the two into the water, cupping the clear liquid in his hands and watching it slip between his small fingers. He was fascinated to say the least and jumped, then blinked when Yoruichi splashed some water on him.
He blinked once more before realizing it wasn't a dream and turned to the goddess, a hand pumped up into the air.
"War!" he shrieked, running at her and then launching himself at the purple haired woman. Soi simply sat in the water, letting it wash just past her shoulders as she watched on. As much as she tried to deny it, this was perfect. Akio was happy; more than happy actually, he was ecstatic. And she herself was feeling better; there was no doubt about that. Her chest didn't feel as heavy, in fact, it was warmer than usual and it felt good.
She let a brief and peaceful smile pass across her face which didn't go unnoticed by Yoruichi.
The chocolate goddess smiled gently while still lifting Akio and spinning him around in the air, sending droplets of water flying everywhere. She too, felt the atmosphere was brighter than usual.
It was perfect; this was perfect.
