Sorry this chapter is up so late. College has taken all of my free time and thrown it in the garbage disposal. I know this chapter is short but I'm already working on chapter 4 so it should not only be longer, but hopefully written better and uploaded soon.
Quick note~
Wow. Thanks to everyone for adding my story to their favorites! I promise to keep working on this story, and hopefully, when I have more time, I'll be able to edit it as well, and get a few technical kinks out of the story.
Yoruichi couldn't recall having fallen asleep, but found the surrounding room still dark when she awoke. Where am I…? The woman groggily thought. Slowly, comprehension came as she stretched to shake all sleepiness from her limbs.
"Soi Fon…" she whispered, searching the darkness for the slender woman.
"Mmmph…" came the mumbled response. Surprise streaked the darker woman's face as she realized that she had returned to her human form. For some reason she couldn't recall when or why she had changed, but there she lay, unclothed and confused. Turning, she saw that Soi Fon had fallen asleep next to her. This was, after all, the captain's bed. I wonde- Yoruichi felt her breath hiss through slightly clenched teeth forcing her thoughts to stop, as Soi Fon turned, entangling her limbs with Yoruichi's, unconsciously attracted to the dark woman's warmth. The slight touch on her naked back sent shock waves rolling across dark bare skin. Yoruichi's watched as her movement caused the young woman to stir; moving her to automatically wrap her body around Yoruichi's bare one. It was a pleasant feeling, Yoruichi decided.
Yoruichi stared, transfixed by the younger woman's pale, luminescent skin, aglow in the soft moonlight. Reaching out she lightly ran her fingers along Soi Fon's skin, smiling as Soi shivered in response. Normally unphased and comfortable in her naked form, the dark cat felt strangely unnerved by the proximity of the younger woman. Brushing the thought aside, she glanced at the sleeping figure. She seems so strangely innocent and vulnerable, Yoruichi thought, contrasting the image in front of her with her memory of young Soi Fon. She never apologized for leaving. How could she? 100 years wasn't something anyone could readily forgive, even for someone as strong hearted as her little bee. Not to mention that she wasn't sure if she would need to disappear again. Seireitei was not her home, not anymore. The constant order and organization chained her free spirit.
But she didn't want to leave.
Not again.
What…? The woman blinked, feeling a drop of water slide down her bare shoulder. She felt her brow furrow in confusion, trying to locate the source of the leakage, wondering if it was raining outside. It wasn't until after scanning around for a moment that Yoruichi felt the slender figure beside her began to shake. Soft gulps of air resonated throughout the room, as Soi Fon's wet tears splashed against the dark cat's skin.
Soi… Yoruichi whispered, clearly shaken by the sight. Yet, before she could move to comfort the distressed woman, the tears stopped as quickly as they began. Slightly perplexed by the nightmares that clearly troubled Soi Fon, Yoruichi gently wiped her tears away, and with a light sigh she shifted, adjusting her body to reach the blanket, which lay tossed and forgotten in a heap on the side. Careful to not awake the sleeping figure, the dark cat pulled the blanket over their entangled limbs and calmly drifted off to sleep, promising to ask Soi Fon about her dream in the morning.
Okay I knowwwww it's a really short chapter. And I'm sorry, but hey, the story will get better! I promise.
