Chapter 22 Wanna Start Summthin'

Yoruichi and Kukaku sit down to dinner. "It's just going to be us tonight Ganju is out riding that pig with those bunch of bums he calls friends. Which is good I guess, he can let us know which areas the Gotei is still searching".

"I am sorry we've been this much trouble. They won't just give up searching for him this time".

"No they won't. After Aizen's betrayal security has increased but Sesshomaru slipped in and that's just not sitting right with the Gotei".

"That damn Aizen, it's hard to believe that one man could cause so much havoc."

"Yeah, that Aizen is a real piece of work. The Gotei wants to set things right by catching Sesshomaru and do it quickly, proving they can handle anything. They were in area almost the entire time you and Sesshomaru were hiding in the catacombs. Speaking of you two, I take you and Sesshomaru didn't kiss and make up since he is still pouting."

"You're half right. Kukaku I just don't understand him. One minute he loves me then the next he is angry and says he doesn't care about me, but he travels across time and space specifically after I told him not to be with me. Then he doesn't want to talk to me but he's about to take out Zariya for picking me up and giving me a hug I just don't get it."

"Zariya, when did you see him? Sesshomaru was going to fight Zariya that wouldn't been good."

"Zariya came down to warn us about how Mayrui is working on a demon killer. I figured Mayrui would have an alternative motive, but I had no idea there was documentation on Sesshomaru and his father's visits to the Soul Society in the archives of the Shinigami Research Institute."

"Back up did you just say Sesshomaru's father?"

"Yes, Zariya told us about Sesshomaru's father's visit. It was not good one some Shinigami got killed. Everything about it is archived I just wished I had known."

"Well you know Kisuke was a scientist first and then a swordsman."

"I know I don't fault Kisuke. He likes to document things and loves to research any phenomena so I let it go at that. I just need to make sure we don't get caught because Kisuke is such brilliant scientist or because Sesshomaru is being ass".

"HAHAHA!" Kūkaku laughs so hard she almost spills her sake.

"It's not funny, it's sad but it's true."

"I know he's just being a man and men are sometimes self-centered idiots. Take it from me, my two brothers taught me that's how men can be. Sesshomaru expected you to run into his arms and be grateful he came to rescue you. Then you were supposed to run off with him to who knows where, but that didn't happen".

"Oh so that's it I'm supposed to be the princess that needs rescuing. Sorry but that's not me, I am usually the one doing the rescuing. I am the one that came up with a plan to get us out of the Soul Society without any help. Oh damn. She thought as she mentally kicked herself. I didn't get his input at all. "Oh hell I didn't even discuss the plan after I came up with it. That's probably what he's really pissed about."

"Could be men like to be the ones to take charge, even if we can do a better job leading."

"I guess I'll go and try to talk to him again." Yoruichi leaves the room and goes to talk to Sesshomaru.

Sesshomaru sits quietly alone in the dark. She said we would leave and go to the human world. She said we couldn't win, but she said she was still sending me home. Yoruichi Shihoin you confuse even me, Sesshomaru. You say you love me but you still won't run away with me. You'll fight for me but won't live with me. What is the point of this? Why should I love someone I cannot be with? "Are we fighting for nothing, trying to hold on to something that we never should've started in the first place?"

"So what's your answer Sesshomaru? Are we fighting for nothing, trying to hold on to something that we never should've started in the first place?" questions Yoruichi from the doorway.
