Rating: T
Genre: Romance/Comfort/Hurt
Soifon was not in her element. For the last seventy-two hours she was held captive in a room that smelt of death, half starved and beaten by her captors. She was now standing in front of her boss, captain of police, being hugged tightly as the elder woman buried her head into the crook of her neck.
Soifon blinked and struggled to keep her exhaustion at bay as she spoke, "Captain Shihouin, what's wrong?"
She heard a wry laugh as tears splashed upon the bare skin of her neck, "Soifon, you weren't supposed to be the one locked in there for three days. I was."
Soifon frowned and gulped as she finally returned the hug and cradled her captain awkwardly as Yoruichi silently shed tears.
After a while, Soifon was practically dead on her feet. She was lifted up off the ground, sure arms held her before sirens were finally heard. The cavalry had arrived. A light pressure danced upon her brow before she heard orders yelled to get a stretcher. Yoruichi kissed Soifon's brow again before giving her to the paramedics, sighing in slight relief that her lieutenant would hold strong.
She turned a steely gaze to the unconscious perpetrators being loaded roughly into a transport to the prison. She would make sure they were punished for their crime.
