_Chapter1O
A/N-So, that was a quick update wasn't it? Well, quicker than last time anyways I hope. So yep, here's chapter 10, finally. This was actually completed at least a week ago but I wasn't entirely happy with it so I left the story alone for a couple of days. Then I re-read it again and thought it wasn't too bad. So here it is, it's a little short but I hope you guys don't mind.
Please enjoy,
Cheers.

`Yoruichi POV_
"Where we going, Yoru-chan?" Akio asked again as he dived to the other side of the back seat, touching every corner and feeling every inch of the material. Although the seat belt around his thin body prevented him from moving further, he was just as fascinated with pulling the belt forward and then letting it slide back. A small squeak escaped his mouth when the near-rough material nearly slapped him upside the chin as he let it roll back.
"Soi-chan!" his hands dropped from the safety belt to curl around the 19 year old's arms.
"It hurt Akio" he pouted, looking hurt.
Soi fon, who had been a little occupied staring at the rear view mirror up front turned to Akio, eyes worried as the little boy could tell. She turned his head from side to side, checking for any cuts or bruises when the 4 year old titled his head back and pointed at his chin.
"Here!"
Soi rubbed the pale skin just at his throat, careful to be gentle with him and Akio grinned happily. He liked it when Soi lost her mask, and her eyes could be read like a book. And when the opportunity presented itself to him, Akio snuggled into Soi's body, smiling happily.
"Akio's so mean. Akio's hogging Soi all to himself, Yoru-chan wants some too!" Yoruichi smirked from the driver's seat.
The raven haired girl rolled her eyes and against her will, felt the corners of her mouth lift ever so slightly. So she looked out the window to her left, avoiding the older woman's playful gazes through the mirror.
"…Hog?" Akio asked, confused as he scratched the back of his head.
"Hey hey Akio, do you want to do Yoru-chan a favor?" she asked, turning back to the boy for a brief second before her eyes continued on the road.
"Ok?" he leaned forward, still clutching at his guardian's slightly toned arm.
"Now, here's the plan…" it hushed down to a whisper and the toddler nearly fell off the back seats if Soi hadn't held onto his small hips to keep him balanced. When giggles erupted from the two, she exhaled softly and returned to the scenery of the blurring streets once Akio was safe.
Not even 5 seconds later, said boy helped himself up the seats by pushing down on Soi's shoulder and kissed her on the cheek with puckered lips. The young adult's eyes widened slightly and when she looked down at the most important person on her life, he was grinning back up at her. His eyes lit up with pure happiness and they shined, so much that it made Soi's heart swell.
"From Yoru-chan!" he beamed, seemingly proud of himself of accomplishing the mission given to him.
Soi's smoky eyes flickered to the mirror and was met with a wink and a catlike smile. A light blush was visible on her usually pale cheeks and she simple ruffled Akio's already messy hair.
"Did Soi-chan like?" he blinked up at her expectantly.
She let her eyes soften and nodded lightly resulting in a tight hug to her lean body.
"Can Akio sit on Soi-chan's lap?" he then asked, already slipping out under his own seat belt to climb onto his guardian. Soi shook her head, not even needing to answer as she let Akio on her knees, re-adjusting the belt around the both of them. And when the boy had settled himself comfortably against the young girl, the windows wound down, a blast of wind slapping him in the face. Terrified, he buried himself as best he could into Soi's shoulder, clutching onto her for protection. The 19 year old, in return, rubbed his back soothingly until he peeked up at the glass surface only to see it slide down again. Soi glared halfheartedly at the woman behind the wheels,
"Yoruichi," it was almost a warning.
Just because she didn't say anything, it didn't mean she didn't know the violet haired woman was controlling the back window to scare little Akio.
"I like the way you say my name"
It was flirty; the way she said it and the tone of her voice, and Soi couldn't help but like it too. Just a little though, not a lot, well, maybe a little more than just a bit.
Confusing?
Because Soi wasn't understanding what she was thinking either, it was just a bunch of words she tried to string together.
Not particularly a good sign to her so early in the…relationship?
That word really got her thinking.
Relationship…Was she 'with' Yoruichi now?
She knew there was definitely something going on between them and the conversation beforehand made it that much more obvious. But she didn't know what was supposed to happen from here on. How would it work?
She was homeless, literally homeless and Yoruichi…she was pretty well off with a house, a car, a job. It made Soi feel so useless, to put it simply; like trash.
And suddenly, she didn't know why she had given in to Yoruichi, why she had leant into her warm arms without thinking everything through. She didn't mean to have so much doubt, but Soi had been living out in the streets for the better part of her life.
It was completely natural.
She liked Yoruichi, but she didn't know if it was a genuine feeling or maybe something like gratitude for caring.
There was so much confusion, so many questions, all unanswered.
She didn't like it.
But she was broken from her reverie when she felt the wind blowing in her hair every 5 seconds and realized Yoruichi was trying to get her attention with the window trick.
Is everything alright?
Yoruichi's brazen gold eyes asked; it was done carefully, and so gently that for a moment, Soi thought maybe it would work. But she lowered her gaze from the pretty woman, staring down at Akio's mop of black hair.
No
And the next 5 minutes was spent in awkward silence except for the occasional amazed squeak of surprise from Akio. When the sports car came to a stop, Yoruichi dangled a set of keys before little Akio with a catty grin on her face.
"If Akio can open the door, Yoru-chan will give Akio a surprise" she proposed,
And he leapt off Soi fon, flying back into her lithe body because the seatbelt hadn't been unbuckled yet. With a chuckle, the 24 year old helped untangle him, watching him fling himself at the door which hadn't been unlocked yet either. The raven haired boy rubbed at his nose that had pressed against the glass, turning back to the two for help. Soi fon leaned over to open the door for Akio, letting him jump out with excitement.
Yoruichi then pointed to the small apartment just on the left and Akio rushed off with the keys as Soi let her hazy eyes follow the small figure until the door beside her opened. She turned back to the right, finding herself staring into Yoruichi's flawless face that had lost all playfulness. Said dj bent down on the concrete ground beside the car so their eyes were level.
"I don't regret anything I said," she began, as if she knew what was troubling the younger girl.
A quick sigh escaped her luscious lips and Soi's brows drew closer together.
"…I like you Soi, I want it to work"
Soi turned the other way, not entirely sure what she was thinking anymore when Yoruichi gripped her chin with those long coco fingers lightly. And she was forced to face the goddess who was the least ashamed of showing what she felt at that moment.
"Give me a chance" she begged quietly.
And Soi found the answer.
It wasn't gratitude; it was her heart beat increasing at the closeness, the warmth creeping up her cheek because their lips were so close…
And she didn't want to be hurt.
She already had nothing and if she gave herself away…
"I won't hurt you, never intentionally"
And Yoruichi pulled her forward, their lips meeting in a chaste kiss that lasted too short.
"Give me a chance"
That was twice in a day, twice she had pleaded with Soi to accept her.
Slowly, another nod of the head and Yoruichi smiled, wrapping her arms around the girl, face at her pale neck. And temptation proved too much for the older woman when she pressed her mouth to the side of Soi's neck, being pushed back abruptly to the car door. Her head collided with the hard surface but she had a stupid grin on her face anyway as she looked up at Soi's blushing face.
"Soi-chan, Yoru-chan! Akio did it!" the 4 year old suddenly hollered, making the two snap back to attention. Yoruichi slowly picked herself up and took Soi's hand in her own, pulling her out and then closing the door, heading back onto the footpath.
"Alright little man, we're coming!" she called back, locking the vehicle
And Soi let herself follow the 24 year old as they headed towards the woman's house. She stared at the back of her curvy figure, the purple hair tied in a loose ponytail and the sway of her shapely hips. Soi was truly surprised at how well Yoruichi could read her and how she seemed to know exactly what to say at the right time. And this time round, there was something in her chest steadily beating that made it more believable. As much as she tried to convince herself it wouldn't work, she secretly wanted it to work. Because she did like Yoruichi the way Yoruichi liked her.
And her lips curled up at the corners slightly as she lifted a hand to touch her mouth.
She'd been kissed twice by Yoruichi.
And she liked it.

…So, how was it? Please review and tell me what you guys thought of it. I personally found it really similar to the previous chapter which is why I didn't like it. But at the same time, I sorta liked the Yorusoi moments so I left it =P. Also, sorry for any mistakes or grammar errors there may be. Thanks for reading and thank you so much for the reviews,
Cheers.
