Chapter 13 So We Meet Again
"Stop we have you surrounded". Sesshomaru finds himself surrounded by 14 members of the third division. Sesshomaru notices a blond fellow with a badge on his arms and figures he must be the leader. Sesshomaru turns fully in his direction to command that he have his men to move. When he sees the lieutenant hit the ground. Then another man goes down, and another, before he knew it all 14 of the third division members were on the ground unconscious. In the middle of the bodies stood one masked figure. Shrouded in black from head-to-toe. Sesshomaru knows immediately who it is once he stares into those golden eyes. He grabs her and in a flash of light takes her to the same tree on top the very same hill where they first met 200 years ago.
He remembered. "Sesshomaru we can't stay here we need to flee the Seireitei and seek shelter in the Rukongai its on the other side of the wall". In seconds Sesshomaru carries Yoruichi into Rukongai. "We can walk the rest of the way no need to bring unwanted attention to ourselves. I have a friend that can provide us with a place to stay. I just have to find her house." Sesshomaru gives her strange look. "She moves around a lot".
Yoruichi starts walking and Sesshomaru walks with her. The awkward and heavy silence between them is like a third person. Yoruichi even allots enough space between her and Sesshomaru so that silence could continue walking with them. She needs to clear her head. The few moments in the arms of her old love had more of an impact then she would like to admit. She could feel the happiness coming over her but she could not give into those feelings of joy. Why did you come back Sesshomaru? Dammit, I told you not to comeback and you did anyway. Now you're in danger once again.
The light of the full moon provides Sesshomaru with enough light to see the tightness in Yoruichi's face. I guess Yoruichi is really upset that I came back. Maybe too much time has past between us. She looks different maybe her feelings are different. He was right about her appearance. Her short hair had grown considerably since their last meeting. Her long dark ponytail went down to the small of her back. She was fully matured not an ounce of baby fat remained on her toned frame. I guess the woman beside me does not have the same feelings as the girl I left so long ago. No wonder she never came. Now I know so at least this wasn't a complete waste of my time. His jaw tightens.
Just as he is about to say something, "We're here", says Yoruichi as she points to Kukaku's house across a small pond. After Sesshomaru sees the house framed by two gigantic arms and huge banner he is somewhat in disbelief. Yoruichi notices perplexed look on his face. "Kūkaku, is hmm a little eccentric when it comes to house design". Yoruichi leads the way across the tiny bridge to the home. "She is a really good person with an explosive personality. Her younger brother, Ganju, lives with her as well. He's a good guy too. He can been stubborn. Stubbornness and tenacity are a Shiba clan traits, but it's a good thing." She is babbling and hates it but at least now she is trying to fill the space with something other than silence. Finally they make it to the door and a loud and immediate greeting from Koganehiko and Shiroganehiko, Kukaku's twin muscular house guards, stops Yoruichi's babbling.
