New Chapter! I'm really quite excited for this new chapter. I even stayed up just to write it. (I owe you guys more chapters, I know. They're coming! I promise!)
Sweat drops lingered from the brow of Soi Fon's raven hair, leaving a glistening trail in its wake. Confused thoughts bombarded her small head, trying to make sense of Yoruichi's wandering hands. Yoruichi's strong lips, answering confusion with pure and raw desire, met bubbling questions shaped by Soi's delicate mouth; the slender captain found herself engulfed by Yoruichi. Ever part of her being melded together with the perpetual opposition upon her, forged together by the throes of passion. Limbs, fingers, sweat all intertwined as Yoruichi slid her clothing aside. All small protests against her revealing nudity were smothered as the dark woman pushed her lips against Soi's parted ones, taking the initiative to move her warm tongue through heated lips.
Suddenly, Yoruichi pulled back, causing Soi to blink in confusion, an emotion that she apparently had an abundance of tonight, and the porcelain skinned woman felt the dark cat's eyes wash over her revealed skin. Yoruichi's unwavering gaze stripped Soi down to her very being. She felt the golden eyes upon her, noticing an embarrassing warmth travel through her body, manifesting itself with a slight pink blush in her heated cheeks. Soi had no desire to be examined or compared to former lovers. She preferred the warming security blanket of heated passion, sweeping all judgmental thoughts away. She turned her head in embarrassment and opened her mouth to protest, blatantly aware of her exposed skin.
"Hey," Yoruichi murmured.
"…" Soi Fon silently responded, turning her head to gaze at the woman on top of her.
"You're absolutely perfect," she responded, dropping her usual nonchalant grin and brushing her nose against Soi's for a gentle Eskimo kiss.
Soi felt all nervousness flee with those words, and lifted her hands to pull the dark woman down for another kiss.
Yoruichi awoke to a rapping at the door. Between the bright sun and the continuous knocking, it felt like someone was banging on her head. She grumbled unhappily and glanced at the sleeping figure beside her. The second division's taichou was a tangled mess, hair spiked in several different directions, and half covered by silken sheets. Yoruichi chuckled and lightly ran her hand through Soi's dark hair, settling stray strands.
She didn't wake up. Yoruichi grinned, tucking a dark strand behind her ear. I must've tired her out.
She disregarded her trail of thought, opting instead to snuggle closer to the warm figure beside her, and placed soft kisses on Soi's revealed shoulder, watching her stir and mumble, falling asleep once again.
Yoruichi slid out of the covers and glanced outside, noting the location of the mid-morning sun before continuing into the bathroom, quickly closing the door behind her to muffle the sound of running water. With deft hands she ran the bath, checking the water temperature, and quickly searched around for a light bathrobe to protect her from the cold tile, before closing the faucet to prohibit the flow of water. With a swift flick of her dark wrist, Yoruichi opened the bathroom door and silently padded over to her sleep deprived lover, placing a swift kiss on drowsy lips before picking her up and carrying the confused woman into the bathroom, gently sliding her into the warm tub.
"Hey," Yoruichi whispered, smiling mischievously, kneeling beside the tub, placing her chin upon the back of a dark hand.
"Why am I in the bath?" Soi asked, letting her eyes slowly close, and lowering herself down, letting the water cover her mouth.
"Because," came the response, "I wanted to take a bath."
Soi raised an eyebrow, and let a small smile grace her lips, blowing bubbles in the tub as she lifted her head to respond, "and for some reason you think that I need to take a bath as well?"
"Yep," Yoruichi stood and stretched out, yawning before stepping closer to the bath.
Soi Fon bit her lower lip as she watched her dark skinned sempai stretch. There was a fear that had begun to manifest itself once all sleepiness left her mind.
What if she doesn't want me? She worried, comparing herself to the dark woman in front of her. Tired, Soi shoved the thoughts aside, chiding herself for such negative ideas.
It's just sex, she nodded, simple. One night with Yoruichi-sama is better than none.
Lifting her hand from the water Soi reached out to brush her bangs aside, watching as Yoruichi gently tugged at the robe covering her dark skin. Soi marveled as the cloth slid down, falling, forgotten, into pools of cloth at the ground. For a moment Yoruichi hesitated before guiding herself into the bath, shivering as her knees grazed the slender waist beneath her, straddling the younger girl to face her.
"I missed you," Yoruichi gazed into Soi's eyes, and the captain found herself searching for an answer to her silent plea. Yoruichi paused for a minute, letting her usual grin fall from her face before leaning forward to envelope Soi's lips with her own. She pulled back for a moment, and paused, letting Soi understand the full seriousness of her statement, "I'm not going anywhere."
"I-I…" Soi turned away, unsure of what to say.
"I'm not going anywhere," she restated, "I'd never leave my little bee again.
"That," Yoruichi snuggled into Soi's neck, "was not your first time, was it?"
"No," Soi smiled, running a hand through her sempai's long dark hair.
Yoruichi's golden eyes shimmered slightly; regret lacing her face, "I always wanted to be your first."
Soi Fon turned her back to the older woman, tugging at the plug to drain the remaining fluid surrounding them.
"Soi…?" Yoruichi mumbled, confused and slightly hurt by her response, or lack thereof.
"You were not my first," came the hushed response, "but I loved you first." Soi stood and stepped from the bath, letting the water slide from her pale skin. She turned the showerhead on, and stepped into the warm water, "I loved you even after you left."
Yoruichi understood. She understood that even if Soi Fon had accepted her disappearance, over a hundred years ago, she hadn't ever healed from it.
And it made her all more bitter.
"Soi," she stood, following the slender woman into the shower, "I asked you to come… or I tried," she wrapped her arms around the captain's waist, pulling her back, ignoring the pounding water flowing down her neck, "The night before I left, I went to your room with the full intention of asking you to come."
Soi turned, watching the water droplets mix with Yoruichi's words.
"I saw you then, sleeping so calmly and content. Kisuke was my childhood friend, I needed him then, and when I saw you that night, I knew you wouldn't understand. You were my protégé, my greatest student, and I realized that my men, my family, and my old responsibilities needed you. I couldn't justify taking you for my own selfish reasons, everyone else needed you more."
Soi let her chin drop, welcoming the water that collected at her eyes, masking her emotions and flooding her mind with memories. It hit Yoruichi hard when she saw Soi's shoulders hitch slightly. She was so unsure of what to say that she simply raised Soi Fon's chin with a gentle finger and glided her lips to Soi's, trying to find the right words, "I…" she pulled back, "need…" another gentle kiss, "you."
They made love for the first time that morning. It wasn't the first time they had sex, no that had happened the previous night, but it was the first time they made love. The movements of heated passion were gone, replaced by a slow repetitive feeling, found only in the calmest of times. There were no lustful bite marks, no forceful kisses, and no heated screams, consistent with the previous night. Instead, the morning was filled with their gentle warmth, fueled by the electricity that flew through their bodies.
So I'm flying high right now. And I kinda think that makes me a bad writer. What do you think?
