Hello there, this is my first try at a true Bleach multi-chapter story. Let me warn you, it will probably be very short since I suck at multi-chapter types things. I will try my best to update regularly, but time constraints and a new job may limit my ability to do so, so please bear with me.
Now here were are, let's begin.
"Ugh," Soifon let out no other word of protest as she was shoved down.
Her things scattered across the floor as her assaulter smirked down at her. She stared at the floor, refusing to give him the benefit of seeing the wince working its way into her eyes. She began gathering her things as he watched, smirking the whole time.
"Heh, ya crawl just like th' littl' dog ya are."
Soifon stood up, her face defiant as she rolled her eyes, a snarl apparent in her speech, "Say what you want Gin."
And with that Soifon turned and walked away. Gin grinned as she did, knowing that he had gotten to her just as he had wished... And Soifon finally let an angry tear roll down her cheek. She walked past the assholes that sat idly by as Gin had tormented her, letting her bangs fall over her face to hide her bright eyes. She growled at those who offered apologies and just hurried through the crowd. Just as she broke free she heard a thud from behind her. Gin was down on the floor, and a girl towered over him. Purple hair flayed out behind the girl as she turned and sent a small grin over to Soifon.
Soifon just turned away and kept ambling along, 'That Yoruichi, she's always causing problems, now Gin has an excuse to push me around.'
She sighed and began to run along now, hoping to get to her job before she would be counted late.
Now though it may be hard to believe (sarcasm), Soifon was a nobody at school. She was the pale, dark, weird, strange, sophomore girl that nobody except tormentors noticed. But outside, in the true world she was someone, even though she was anonymously someone. At the most popular teen club in Tokyo, El Sonido, from 7 to 10 P.M. She was the master DJ, DJ R.H., Disk Jockey Raging Hornet. For her job her voice was rough, she wore baggy clothing that easily obscured her non-existent figure. Along with a cap to cover her girlish hair, and sunglasses to hide her wide eyes. No one knew who she was, let alone that she was actually a girl.
But Soifon preferred her obscurity, she was left alone and she got some cash to help pay her apartment above the club, now that her father had passed on. She lived alone up there next to an empty apartment.
Soi was strong though, she could care less what others thought of her, she could bare the loneliness that others would have gone crazy at. But when it did get to be too much, she had a loving family of her fellow employees, and that was how she liked it.
Yoruichi frowned slightly as the younger student walked off as soon as she could escape the fight area.
She turned to some of the onlookers, "Who was that girl?"
A voice rose from somewhere Yoruichi could not see, "Soifon, she's a sophomore here."
Yoruichi froze as her old friend Kisuke walked out of the now dissipating crowd, his strange hat tipped over his eyes.
"Ah," Yoruichi fidgeted slightly, "Does she have a last name?"
"No, I heard she got rid of it for some reason."
"Oh."
Kisuke took off his strange striped hat and cast a glance to the now empty courtyard, "Heh, you know she's one of the only girls who doesn't worship the very ground you walk on."
Yoruichi felt her respect for the girl rise. But awkward tension rose up between the two former friends and she muttered a quick thanks before walking away quickly, hoping that she did not offend Kisuke by her manner of parting. She shook her head to get off the topic and focused on the newer one. Soifon. Why had she wanted to get away so quickly?
'She didn't even thank me... But then again she could feel that I did her no true favor...' Yoruichi sighed as she walked along to the school gates.
It was time to meet her new employees, with the help from her advisor. She now had a new place to own, and now it was time to move life into a new stage. She straightened up as she walked out the school gates and into the world.
Now opposite to Soifon, Shihounin Yoruichi was most definitely a somebody at school. She was the mahogany-skinned, light, unique, senior girl that everyone noticed. But outside in the real world she was just another girl, a rich one though. She was left with her dead parents' fortune at the age of twelve, and now at eighteen, she had barely touched any of it. She almost never had to, because she had people to take care of that for her. Her only true friend Kisuke was the one who fed her, and she had friends in high places to get some of the newer clothing out on the market, for the rest of the small things she dug into the vast fortune her parents had left her. Now she had lost all of that. Kisuke and her tried to date... And it was beyond disastrous. The break up tore them apart, even now a month after, they could not stay in each other's presence.
Now without her cook and support beam, she drove herself to get over it. She swore to become independent, she broke her ties to anyone unimportant to her which was indeed everyone in her life except for her advisor Yamamoto, but even then, she could care less about the man, he was only there to get her respect. She got rid of anything that didn't matter to her. And so she decided to build a new life, by buying her favorite getaway in the world, El Sonido, honestly she did it only so she could sell the massive mansion she lived in alone, and have a comfy place to crash, and maybe learn how to cook.
And so she walked in today with her advisor and the workers all lined up before her. She eyed every one of them and grinned, they stood there awkwardly, and all of them stood close to each other, as if one shielded the other.
These people were family.
"I'm sure you have your doubts about me being your new management, but I hope you're worries will be put at ease, for the fact that I will not change the club much," Yoruichi spoke in a light airy tone.
That statement seem to do its job as people relaxed. Yoruichi described her plans, employees grinned happily, no one was redacted, no wage cuts, and their new manager was a good kid. THe employees went on to start setting up for the night, and that's when someone came walking through the door to clock in.
"Tadaima!"
"Okaeri Soi!" the employees called from behind their posts.
Yoruichi smiled, "Well, hello there Soi-San, I am the new..."
Yoruichi trailed off as she recognized the girl. The girl that had forsaken her last name at school. The girl that had been immune from everyone's pressure. The only girl who didn't idolize her.
"Soifon, you work here?" Yoruichi asked incredulously.
Soifon blushed to the roots of her hair and turned tail to run as the employees gawked.
"Of course she works here!" Some of the servers announced, "She's our prized gem, DJ R.H.!"
"I am going to kill you," Soifon growled at the impudent servers.
They waved her off and continued setting up. Soifon shifted from foot to foot contemplating running off completely. Yoruichi just stared before she began to laugh heartily. It was not mocking or sadistic so Soifon did not feel very insulted.
"Well Soi-san, I now own this club, and I guess you work for me," Yoruichi reveled in her surprised look, the girl was adorable when she blushed.
Maybe this was what she needed.
There you go, the first chapter of Under New Management It's going to base itself around the club and it's two gems. The owner, the captivating and witty Shihounin Yoruichi; and the most popular DJ in all of Japan, DJ R.H., Raging Hornet, A.K.A Soifon.
