Title: Soifon's Pain
Theme 13: Excessive Chain
Rating: T
Genre: Angst/Hurt
(Continuation of last chapter)
Loving Yoruichi was always a double-edged sword, a painful and excessive chain that went Love to Pain and back again. It made Soifon happier than anything to have Yourichi near her, holding her, kissing her, loving her. But after the happiness always came the pain. Yourichi's constant leaving, her almost infidelities, it constantly drove a dagger through Soifon's heart.
'Am I a masochist?' Soifon would constantly ask herself when Yoruichi would leave, or when the cat would flirt with someone in front of her.
But Soifon always stayed by Yoruichi's side, clinging hopefully that maybe someday, after endurig the pain, it would just go away. She had known what she was in for. And she had still stayed, for the woman she loved greatly, for the woman she would protect forever with her life. She learned at a young age how to repress emotion, the skill had faded over time, but it worked enough to blank her face when it hurt, to hold back the painful tears until she was alone and could cry.
Some people said she was a fool to cling to hopes that the cat would ever truly settle down, let alone with someone not worth the effort. Soifon laughed at these statements on the surface, only giving a sadistic smirk in response, but those words cut her like knives.
But still the bee stayed, hoping that when the cat left that she would come back and hoping dearly the the chain would break and she woulld never have to endure pain like this again.
