Yoruichi sighed as she watched her students spar as practice for new techniques. She laughed to herself, she never would have imagined herself to be a teacher.
'Not until I met her. So damn eager to learn... To devote herself to me...' Yoruichi sighed once again and shook her head furiously.
'No. I won't do this in front of my students.' Yoruichi frowned, bemused.
She set her eyes on all her students, watching their intricate actions and reactions, the elder students looked like masters of a deadly dance. And her younger ones looked like babies toddling to make their first steps. But that made Yoruichi grin, she would mold her students into masters. Each and everyone, because that is what she did for her. That was what she had promised for her. That promise made after the first and only kiss they shared before she had left her. By Yoruichi's choice she had left. And now Sometimes Yoruichi thinks she should have shoot herself in the foot for such a stupid thing to have said.
But that was three years ago, when her little bee had left to study abroad in the United States. She still got letters at times from her, but they were always short and blunt, never with anything excessive. And Yoruichi liked it that way. Because that was how her little bee was. And that way was fine.
"Postman," A young female student cried from her bowing spot in front of her sparring partner.
Yoruichi smiled, inclining her head in a subtle thank you and went to the door of the dojo. The man passed her a few letters, tipped his hat and went on his route. Yoruichi went through the letters throwing the bills onto the floor to retrieve later when she had seen it.
A letter her little bee.
She tore it open and read the two line letter:
Hey Yoru-Chan. I'm coming home. By the time you get this letter I should be arriving at the airport.
Love you, Soifon
Yoruichi clutched the letter happily as a single tear of joy rolled down her cheek.
