`Yoruichi POV_

I watched Akio bounce from room to room with excitement as I pulled Soi with me, leading her wherever little Akio went with a permanent smile on my face.

I liked the idea of having three in the house.

I think Soi was beginning to warm up to the idea too because every time I turned to look at her, she had a hint of a smile on her pale face. I squeezed her hand tighter in my own until we reached my room and I grinned. I helped Akio onto my bed, not caring that his clothes hadn't been washed in a while and fell down next to him. Next, I pulled Soi down beside me.

"Do you like it here, Akio?" I asked, brushing across his cheek with the pad of my thumb

He nodded eagerly against my shoulder, smiling his bright smile at me as his fingers curled around my hand in reply.

I noticed Soi fidgeting beside me a little, nervous perhaps and held Akio up in the air for a moment with my hands at his small hips.

"I think Soi-chan's missing little Akio" I chuckled, turning my head to the left to grin at Soi. While Akio was still squealing in my arms, kicking his legs about, I placed him gently between our bodies. The 19 year old smiled ever so slightly and I draped an arm around the little boy, my fingers brushing against my…girlfriend's stomach. Her eyes snapped up to glare at me before swatting my hand away.

I ignored it though I was smirking and looked down at Akio just as his midnight blue orbs closed peacefully.

"Sleep," I told Soi fon, entwining our fingers and resting it beside Akio's body.

"I'll wake you later" I added quietly.

I felt my own eyes drooping and the last thing I saw was Soi's gentle smile and my lips curled.

I noticed that there was a lot of smiling in the past 10 minutes and I loved her smile.

-

By the time I woke up, Soi fon was gone and when I pressed the spot she had been lying on it was cold. But little Akio was still snoring away and I took comfort in the fact that my girlfriend was still in the house, knowing she would never leave him behind. I kissed the boy's mop of black hair and climbed out of bed silently, poking my head out from the room to see an empty hallway. I scratched my neck and stretched my body before padding out into the living room which was completely silent, frowning.

Where was she?

Then I heard those quiet footsteps, gentle and almost graceful. I followed them back to my room and stopped behind the younger girl, making sure she could feel me against her back.

"You can shower if you want…" I told her as I watched her look in the bathroom attached to my room.

She nodded slowly before turning to me and I smirked,

"Want me to join?" I offered, waggling my brows playfully.

Initially, I didn't really want to ask. I just wanted to drag her in, slam her against the door and do…a lot of things to her.

But I was getting way ahead of myself, I hadn't even officially been together with her for a day yet and I wanted to have sex with Soi. Nobody can really blame me though, since she was a girl with attractive features that many obviously didn't take the time to appreciate. And by the time I woke up from my little daydream of ravishing Soi against a wall, I realized she was ready to slam the door in my face when I stuck my foot out to stop it.

"Ok, I'll join next time then" I said, putting my hands up somewhat defensively.

She raised a brow at me as if daring me to finish the sentence and I thought that she looked really quite cute when she was angry, or frustrated, or whatever.

I wasn't thinking straight.

"But anyways, I'll help you-" I reached out for her when she kicked my foot back and closed the door on me.

After a moment of silence, I heard her open a drawer and I rolled my eyes.

"-get some shampoo" I finished the sentence, talking to no one in particular.

I blew at my fringe and went back to bed, falling back onto the comfy mattress as I heard the steady beating of the water coming from the shower head. Akio stirred beside me, snuggling into my side and I wrapped an arm around his thin body, rocking him back to sleep.

"That girl's really something huh?" I murmured down to the boy who was fast asleep again.

"Don't know how it's gonna work Akio, did I tell you that? It's alright, no sweat, I know what I'm doing though. I do, yeah I do" I reassured myself.

I rambled quietly until I suddenly raised a brow at myself.

I never used to talk to myself, or to someone sleeping for that matter.

But my thoughts were cut off when the shower door opened and I saw her poke her head out much like I did earlier. I also noticed she took extra care to keep her body covered behind said door and realized she had no towel, or possibly my towel.

"…Clothes?" I asked after I gave up trying to peak at what she was hiding behind that door.

And Soi opened her mouth, about to reply when she closed it again and nodded once. I was a little disappointed that she decided not to speak to me. There was just something about the way she tried so hard to speak, the effort put into it even if she pulled on a mask every time. But I rolled off the bed anyway and dragged myself over to my wardrobe, pulling out a tee and loose trackies for the young girl. I knocked on the bathroom door twice before it opened and I tried to sneak my head in to take a look when her hand pressed against my forehead.

She glared at me, clawing the clothes from my outstretched hand. I pouted at Soi and gave her my best puppy eyes which she promptly ignored before shutting the door again. The other thing I noticed was that I always got shot down when I tried a move, it was almost depressing for me seeing as I used to have no problems with girls throwing themselves at me.

It was gonna be a little different with Soi.

I think I can handle that.

…Yeah.

Moments later Soi emerged from the bathroom in my clothes and I beamed at her, making her look to the side, her cheeks slightly pink. I leaned up on my elbows, crossing my ankles and asked if she was hungry. The raven haired girl thought about it and nodded again, heading out the room with one last glance at the still sleeping Akio. I followed after the younger girl and watched as she scanned my kitchen, prepared to cook even if she probably hadn't seen the inside of a house for years. I wasn't worried about food poisoning because quite frankly I couldn't cook either, but it made me understand something else about Soi.

She was independent, really independent.

And that meant she wasn't going to sit around waiting for me and neither was she going to need my shoulder to cry on. I think that worried me a little, the fact that she wouldn't need to lean on me. But I brushed that thought off and continued watching my girlfriend- it's safe to call her that now, right?-move around to look for ingredients to make I don't what.

I didn't ask anything and I didn't say anything, just watched her rummage through the fridge and then lay out a chopping board. I crossed my arms over my chest and leaned against the doorframe, a grin tugging at my lips when my eyes dipped below the waistline for a short while. Soi fon could almost sense where my gaze had gone to when she snapped round, her steel grey eyes staring at mine. She raised a brow and I smirked, unashamed, hesitantly dragging them back up her body.

"I'll go get Akio" I told her, stepping backwards.

When I reached my room, Akio was still snoring away and I smiled fondly at the little boy, pushing his jet black hair away from his face before lifting him into my arms. I rested his head on my shoulder and carried him back to the lounge, setting him down on the sofa, careful not to wake him up.

When I resumed my position against the doorframe, I watched Soi crack 5 eggs into a bowl with slow, almost awkward movements. And I knew our relationship wasn't going to be easy.

With a small smile, I stepped into the kitchen and retrieved a frying pan from under the sink and turned on the stove.

"I'll help" I chirped.

I watched Soi flip the omelet and leaned an elbow against the kitchen counter and rested my chin in my palm.

"So how old are you…?" I asked after a while.

She looked to be around 18-19 but I honestly had no clue what her real age was, and I was curious as always. Her eyes cut over to me and she rolled them skywards once before concentrating on the food, ignoring me again. I dropped my head down to my chest and sighed loudly,

"Ah, Soi-chan's being mean" I whined.

I peeked an eye open to see my girlfriend place the omelet on a plate and proceed to make another one, her gaze darting over to me once in a while. Never mind that I didn't an answer, at least she was still looking at me. The raven haired girl finished the third plate and I went out to the lounge, kneeling beside the boy.

"Hey little man, time to eat" I shook him lightly.

My back was to the kitchen.

`Normal POV_

Soi fon laid the pan in the sink and let her cloudy grey eyes stare at the chicken omelets she had made. They looked nowhere near as good as they did when she made them 7 years ago. When she was still a child, she used to whip up omelets for her father just so he would give her a little more attention with a wink and a smile. And now that she was 7 years older, she was making her father's dish for Akio and a woman she had grown feelings for; and she didn't know what to feel. The 19 year old frowned and then blinked, keeping her eyes dry as she carried the plates out with quiet steps. She set them on the dining table and watched as Yoruichi led Akio to her by the hand. And Akio, being the child that he was, seemed to be fascinated by the food as he poked at it with his finger.

"Soi-chan make?" he asked, beaming.

The young woman nodded as Yoruichi took a bite out of their dinner and nodded enthusiastically.

"It's good" she said, nudging the 4 year old lightly, telling him to try it.

Akio picked up the fork in hand, looking at the metal utensil from every angle before jabbing the handle into the omelet. The goddess chuckled and took the fork from Akio gently, cleaning it before wrapping the boy's fingers around the handle.

"Like this" she told him, smiling.

Akio squealed and stabbed it into the food again and picked it up, showing his guardian and then the cocoa skinned woman happily. Minutes later, every crumb was licked clean from the 24 year old's plate and she leaned back into her seat,

"Whoo, that was good" she breathed.

Soi though, had barely eaten half of the chicken omelet and set her fork down on the table, preferring to explore the room with her eyes instead. Yoruichi noticed; looked at Akio wolfing down the food as fast as a 4 year old could ever get and turned back to Soi.

"Not hungry?" she asked, concern seeping into her voice without her knowing.

Soi chose to ignore it and nodded slowly, pushing it further away from herself. Akio eyed the half-eaten omelet and then looked back at his guardian; Soi couldn't help the corners of her lips lifting at the sight of the little boy.

"Big appetite for someone so small…" Yoruichi murmured, clearly amused.

---

Soi fon stepped out of the car first and Yoruichi turned to the backseat where Akio was still strapped in with his seatbelt.

"Stay here for 5 minutes Akio, Yoru-chan needs to talk to Soi-chan, ok?" she asked, ruffling his hair. The dj exited the car also and closed the door, leaning against the vehicle as she faced her love interest.

"I have to dj tomorrow night" Yoruichi said after a moment of silence.

Again, the 19 year old only nodded and kept her eyes downcast.

"I'll visit you and Akio tomorrow afternoon, and uh, spend some time with little Akio and you, too" her sentence had too many pauses where she was unsure and Soi found herself smiling despite the emotional rollercoaster she was riding earlier.

"Ok" she replied.

The pretty woman looked up when her girlfriend spoke and grinned, back to her normal self and then bent over to open the door for Akio.

"Ok buddy, time to go" she winked at him.

The small boy pouted and unbuckled himself, sliding out from the car and flung himself at the dj.

"Akio miss Yoru-chan tomorrow"

"That's sweet Akio, but Yoru-chan will come by tomorrow anyway" she laughed heartily.

"More time with Yoru-chan!" he beamed,

"Mmm, and we'll give you a nice long bath tomorrow"

"Ok!" The 4 year old, at this point didn't care what they would be doing because he was already too attached to the young woman to mind. Soi shook her head lightly and took Akio's small hand into her own pale one and squeezed lightly. Akio smiled back up at her and waved to Yoruichi excitedly.

"Bye Yoru-chan!"

"See you tomorrow Akio" She kissed the top of his head again and patted his hair. She then straightened herself up, and leaned towards the girl, touching her lips to Soi's cheek.

"Night" she whispered against her.

A ghost of a smile appeared on Soi's somewhat tired face as she turned, heading for the benches with Akio clinging to one side of her thin body.

"…19" she murmured just before she was out of earshot.

Yoruichi threw her head back, letting her smooth violet tresses press against her window and eyed the night sky with her bright golden orbs.

"God, she looks so good in my clothes…"

This chapter was a little light-hearted compared to the last two chapters I guess. And I gotta be completely honest with everyone, I have absolutely no idea where this is going next. But, BUT-I am not gonna give up on this story cos I really adore Akio, and I love Yorusoi period. So, what I'm saying is, it may take me ages and ages to update this but I'm still continuing Streetwise. But anyways, sorry for the massive A/N, I hope you guys enjoyed reading.

Please review and tell me what you guys think, ideas are welcome!

Cheers.
