After taking long yet slow strides towards the balcony, she stops and takes a few deep breathes, trying to shake the nerves. She hesitantly raises her hand to the handle of the door and pushes it open slowly.

Standing only a few feet away is the girl that has been plaguing her every thought and dream, the odd, unfamiliar yet warm and pleasant feeling that would appear every time she gets a glimpse of the Chinese girl returned with a vengeance, her stomach began to do cartwheels and her heart began to flutter. A small yet genuine smile made its way onto the goddesses face. She was soon pulled away from her little day dream by shouting.

"The fuck!"

"No, don't tell me to shut up. You shut the fuck up"

"Gah! You're so full of shit"

"I'll hang up if I fucking want to" a pale thumb moves to the red button and the phone immediately goes to the home screen then a little black box saying 'power off, press any button to abort' appeared and after pitch black

The silver eyed girl sighed then began to rub her temples in a circular motion; next she takes out another cigarette but quickly turns around due to the sound of a chuckle. Standing right behind her was the caramel goddess with her trademark catty grin and arms crossed. The younger girl's face quickly scrunched into a scowl but then she raised a brow in confusion when she noticed the usually playful golden eyes were clouded with guilt and uncertainty.

"What do you want Shihōin" she growled in an angry tone

"Was that your girlfriend?" Yoruichi replied in an unfamiliar serious tone whilst slowly walking towards the younger girl

"Like it's any of your business" she turns around so her back is facing the goddess and she is looking out into the streets of Tokyo city

Yoruichi makes her way to the left of the girl and is also leaning against the wall that keeps them from falling and looks down upon the city. A comfortable yet tense silence lingers around the two students as they stand motionless looking down upon the city, the only movement is the toxins from Soi Fon's cancer stick dancing in the nights wind and up into the navy sky.

The younger girl sighs again "What do you want Shihōin" she repeats her question but emotionlessly

"I-i-i-I"

'Damn why is it so hard to say' she thought as she runs her hand though her violet coloured hair and turns to face the younger girl "I just want to a-apologize and h-h-hopefully we can start a-a-again" she finally stammers

Soi Fon turns to the older girl and her usually cold, grey irises soften a little upon seeing the normally confident, flirtatious play girl with her head bowed down, wearing an uncharacteristic frown and her left hand rubbing up and down her right arm, the goddess's posture gives of a wave of vulnerability. Finally lifting her gaze from the ground she looks into the coal like eyes, her golden irises wasn't sparkling as they usually did but were looming with guilt, seriousness, uncertainty and surprisingly pain but Soi Fon removed her gaze from the goddess and looked out to the city again.

Upon hearing no reply she assumes the worst "L-l-l-look I know I'm a bitch for playing people and well y-y-you b-but I am genuinely s-s-sorry"

The silver eyed girl turned her gaze away from unsurprisingly bright city after all Tokyo is one of the cities that apparently 'doesn't sleep' but when her ash grey eyes focussed back on the goddess she was seriously in for a shocker. If she thought the way the goddess looked previously was a surprise, she was seriously in for it this time, nothing could have prepared her for the sight she was about to see.

Silver eyes widen in surprise and shock but her face still remained blank; the sight granted before her was one which hardly anyone saw, you literally had more of a chance of winning the lottery on your birthday which is conveniently on Christmas whilst meeting your favourite celebrity and them asking you to marry them.

The goddess no longer looked like a goddess but a lost child looking for love and comfort and someone to rescue them from their pain and protect them from the world. The caramel skinned girl had her head lowered in shame, her posture was slumped as if she has given all hope and her hands were fidgeting nervously.

Despite the way Yoruichi looked, Soi Fon couldn't help but let a small smile sprout on her pale face as she tried to hold back a chuckle 'Damn, who would have thought the goddess of flash could look so cute and vulnerable. I just wanna hold her in my arms and never let go… wait I wanna what?' She thought then shook her head and unfortunately the chuckle slipped out.

Hearing the chuckle she raised her head again, her face went straight to shock then to confusion then back to a frown 'I just apologised and she's laughing at me' she opened her mouth to say something but quickly shut it when she heard an almost inaudible reply.

"It's cool" the reply danced through the cold air and straight into the goddess's ears, now if she was a cat, her ears would've perked up and her tail would be wagging like there was no tomorrow. Her golden eyes quickly filled with hope and joy and her signature grin reappeared.

"But that doesn't mean were friends" the Chinese girl continued and as quick as lightning the grin disappeared

"Why?"

"Like I told you before I don't need any nor do I want them"

"But I do"

"You already have friends" Soi Fon replied whilst motioning her head in the direction of the door

"Yeah, Kukaku and Kisuke are my ONLY friends" Yoruichi replied a bit too quickly and eagerly in a sad tone whilst looking at the ground and wearing another frown

The response caused Soi Fon to scoff "You have plenty and like you told me before everyone wants to be your friend"

The goddess sighed and turned back to the city "Yeah, everyone wants a part of me but they know of me but don't know me" her voice uncharacteristically serious but if you went into the chambers of her complicated mind you would find a very confused girl, she didn't know why she was telling Soi Fon about her problems and insecurities or even why she was explaining herself or why she got a feeling of safety and trust from the younger girl.

"I don't know you and your first impression was a shit one"

"That's why I want us to get to know each other and like I said before I'm sorry, I thought you were gonna be like every other gir-"

"Like every other girl in our school and just fall into your lap" she scoffs "Fat chance"

The response caused the goddess to smile "This is why I want to get to know you"

Soi Fon looked at the older girl oddly "What you want to get to know me coz I'm rude to you"

Yoruichi let out a short laugh then ginned "Yeah I guess but when you put it that way it sounds kind of weird" a comfortable silence roams the balcony until broken by Yoruichi "That's not just the reason"

"Go on" the younger girl said and lit another cigarette

"Err… You mind I have one?"

Soi Fon briefly shook her head before opening the cigarette box and offering one to the goddess before passing her lighter to the older girl as well "You were saying?"

"Oh yeah, um well you see you're not afraid to express yourself and you treat me like everyone else"

"What you mean express yourself"

"You know when you're annoyed you roll your eyes at me or you make a snide comment but others they immediately apologise and the way they look at me it's like they think of me as some deity or something" she replies with a frown 'and I want to find out what this odd feeing is I get when I'm with you and only you' she added in her head

Soi Fon nods in return whilst keeping a blank face but inside she had a lot of pity and sympathy for the girl next to her 'she's never had any true friends and even though I don't want any I know I could have some' upon hearing the caramel skinned student's response she suddenly gained a new found respect for her and had an odd feeling of wanting to be her friend. Not like she would ever admit it.

"Oh yeah and you're the first person to ever lay a hand on either one of us"

"Huh?"

"You weren't afraid to punch Kisuke coz of his teasing, everyone else is too afraid to"

Soi Fon nods once again "You know you need to stop comparing people to others" she replies whilst throwing the bud of her cigarette over the balcony

Yoruichi let out a sigh then threw the cigarette off the building "Yeah I know but I guess over time I just expected it since it's the same shit every year" she looks at the younger girl, waiting for a response but doesn't hear or see one "So where does this leave us?"

"There has never or will be an 'us' there is only you and me. And to answer your question I don't know coz like I said before I don't want or need friends and I've never had nor wanted any in the first place" Soi Fon replies slowly yet emotionlessly while lacing her fingers together and staring intensely out into the city.

"Well could you make me an exception?" Yoruichi replied with hopeful eyes

Another silence lingered between the two girls before the younger one let out another sigh and replied still emotionlessly "I'm sorry but no" she then turns on her heels and makes her way towards the door

At that moment the goddess went through a whirlwind of emotions; from sorrow to anger to longing to pain and finally to panic. Out of impulse she grabbed the ebony headed girl's arms, a jolt surged through them but she ignored it and twisted the girl around so they were facing face to face. Then she did the unexpected.

She pulled the girl into a tight embrace, her arms locking around the petite waist of the younger girl. Their faces wear only mere inches apart. Soi Fon shot a death glare at Yoruichi then raised a brow in confusion before a light blush took over her pale cheeks against her will.

"P-p-lease g-give me a chance" Yoruichi whispered almost silently, she found that with the younger girl so close to her she was breathless and almost speechless

"I don't trust you" Soi Fon whispered back huskily

Yoruichi gulped, it took all the will power she had to stop herself from lip locking the smaller girl plus the huskiness of the younger girl's voice plus the uncharacteristic blush didn't help but increase her arousal and need for the girl "I genuinely mean it, I want to be your friend and I want you to be mine"

Soi Fon closed her eyes and took a deep breath then sighed 'why does she have to be so persistent' she thought before opening her eyes and looking back into the sun like irises that were filled with so much emotion. Two things immediately caught her attention: the first being the golden irises were glazed with pure determination and that no matter what she said there was no winning against her, the second thing is the very thing that has been wandering through her mind, it seems that every time she saw the goddess she would see an almost invisible sparkle beneath the playfulness but for the life of her couldn't figure out what in hell it was. Now that tiny spark was clearer and more visible it literally took over the over filled emotion eyes. She let out another sigh and mutters almost silently "Fine, we'll give it a try"

The response caused the older girl to grin from ear to ear and pull the younger girl into a bone crushing hug as she effortlessly picked the girl up and began swinging her around in circles whilst saying a long chain of yays and thank yous.

The mood seemed infectious as Soi Fon found herself even smiling but quickly reverted back to her usual demeanour as she felt another blush take over her cheeks 'I don't blush! What the fuck?!'

"Yoruichi get the hell off of me and put me down!" she yelled out but was ignored and seeing that she wasn't going to be put down by the goddess anytime soon , she began pushing off of her chest without noticing what she was actually touching whilst shouting "I am not some care bear and I do not do hugs! DAMN IT, I'M GETTING DIZZY. WILL YOU GET OFF OF ME ALREADY?!"

The caramel skinned girl finally noticed the other girl's protests and put the girl down. She steadied herself against the wall of the balcony and blinked for a few seconds before letting a smile makes its way to her lips as she watched Soi Fon wobble her way towards the closest wall. Feeling an unfamiliar sting, she looks down to her chest to see a few scratch marks and the area slightly red. Her trademark grin returned and her eyes sparkled with mischief.

"My, my little bee I never thought you were the type of person to take advantage of me whilst I was giving you a friendly hug. Tut, tut, tut… I must say I'm disappointed in you" she said the end whilst wagging her index finger and shaking her head

"What the fuck are you on about?" she growled back in an irritated tone

The goddess then pointed to her chest with a small frown "See look"

Silver irises followed the caramel finger down to where it is pointing; she looked at the girl confusingly before noticing the older girl's chest had an unfamiliar patch of red with light scratch marks. Whatever Kami above must hate her at the moment since against her will again, she felt another blush paint her pale cheeks.

Surprisingly Yoruichi just noticed the uncharacteristic blush that seemed to be popping back and forth at the most unwanted times. Seeing Soi Fon's cheek suddenly fill with colour made the goddess drop the frown and grin widely 'Aw, she has a cute blush'

Soi Fon scoffed then crossed her arms and looked away "You're talking like I did that on purpose"

"Now, now little bee just admit it and I won't be mad" she said in a teasing tone whilst wearing a big smirk

The teasing statement caused the younger girl to scowl at the ground "I was just trying to get you off of me"

"You could have pushed my shoulders or something but nooo…. You decided to push off my tits"

The Chinese girl scoffed again "Don't flatter yourself I was just trying to get myself out of your vice grip"

"Really now, little bee?" she asked in a brow raised

"I thought I said don't call me that big head" Soi Fon retorted whilst crossing her arms

The reply caused Yoruichi to point at herself then shake her head as if miming 'who me? No' she then frowned "I don't have a big head"

"Tsk, check the mirror big head"

The goddesses' frown deepened "Why are you always so mean to me? I don't remember ever being mean to you and stop calling me that little bee" she whined in a childish voice and stomped her foot with her hands clenched into fist, just like a toddler would if they were throwing a tantrum

Soi Fon merely rolled her eyes before making her way to the door but before she went back to the 'event' she looked over her shoulder "You keep calling me little bee and I'll keep calling you big head"

Yoruichi was left blinking as she stood on the balcony and watched as the younger girl's figure got smaller, she quickly bolted inside to see Soi Fon next to her dad who was still with her parents.

She put on a fake frown and walked back to her table "Little bee, you know it's not nice to leave a girl out in the cold and alone in the dark" every person on the table turned to look at the young Shihōin as they looked back and forth from the two girl's

Soi Fon turned to look at the goddess "Like I care, big head"

The frown turned into a pout "Stop calling me names bee, that's not nice" she whined in a childish voice whilst crossing her arms

The reaction caused the silver eyed girl to snort then roll her eyes; she opened her mouth to say something but was interrupted.

"Ahhh….. Yoruichi-san it's been a long time" Ichimaru greeted with his trademark snakey smirk, he turned his attention to the table "Ahhhh… Kukaku-san, Kisuke-san even Caine-san and Kaien-san are here too"

A shiver ran down the heirs of the Shiba, Urahara and Shihōin families except obviously the youngest son of the Shiba family.

"Ichimaru" they all greeted coldly and in unison

"So Yoruichi-san, how do you know little, Soi Soi?" he asked with a grin as he drooped his arm over the younger girl and pulled her into something that looked kind of like a headlock and began rubbing his knuckles on the top of her head.

A vein appeared on the said girl's forehead and began to throb dangerously, it immediately caught Yoruichi's attention, and she gulped and took her seat next to Kukaku. The other two seniors shot their friend questionable looks and she shot back a panicked look, a look she only started to use recently well ever since the younger girl started at their school. If the look was used, the other two students immediately knew it was something associated with the young Chinese girl.

Aizen caught the distressed looks from the goddess and let out a quiet chuckle 'You're in for it now Gin' he thought whilst doing the smart thing and taking a step back so he stood behind the three parents

"Gin!" Soi Fon growled dangerously low

"Hm?" he stopped the action with his fist frozen just above the girl's then raised a brow and looked down at the younger girl under his arm "What's wrong little Soi Soi?" he asked in a childish voice, totally oblivious to the situation he just caused

Soi Fon stuck out her elbow, successfully hitting the silver haired boy in the stomach and knocking the wind out of him. She then grabbed the pale arm that is drooped over her and twisted it so Gin was flipped on his back and on to the floor. She then stamped on his chest and used the ball of her foot to dig into the boy's chest "What did I say about calling me that name Gin?" she growled

Everyone's attention was now on the two teens, they all wore the looks of shock on their faces but flinched slightly as Gin groaned or cried out in pain. Security soon came but Aizen stood in front of them, blocking their access to the two teens.

"You get involved and you're going to find yourself in a hell lot of pain" he said calmly yet threatening, the guards flinched when they saw who the man was and immediately recognised him but gave him a look saying 'are you threatening us?' being able to read them like an open book he carried on talking "Now don't look at me like that, after all I didn't mean it like that. I just meant my daughter will not be happy and when someone gets in her way when she is pissed off they often find themselves injured"

Before her brain could connect with what her body was doing, Yoruichi found herself hesitantly approaching the younger girl "bee"

Soi Fon looked over her shoulder and shot the goddess an icy glare which caused her to gulp

"Soi, calm down" she said slowly in a calming tone as she reached out and put a hand on the girl's shoulder

Almost automatically Soi Fon immediately relaxed and stepped off the silver haired boy. Aizen and Gin watched in awe as they watched the usually short tempered girl – which would usually take an army to calm her down, relax in one touch. The silver eyes were once again shut as she began taking deep breathes before making her way back to the balcony.

Gin winced in pain as he slowly got up off of the floor. He slowly rubbed his chest in a circular motion whilst coughing a little. He shot a glance at Aizen before looking at the Shihōin heir "Thanks Yoruichi-san, can you please tell me how you did that?"

Snapping out of her little daze and turning her attention from the balcony to the snake like boy "How I did do what?"

"You see usually when Soi Fon gets angry it would usually take the U.S army to calm her down yet she seemed to lose all the anger when you simply touched her"

Yoruichi then turned her attention to Soi Fon's father "Eh…. Um… I dunno to be honest" she replied whilst scratching her cheek sheepishly but inside she felt an odd feeling of accomplishment and oddly really happy

"Well, whatever it was I must make a toast to you" he signalled a waiter for two glasses of champagne then handed one to Yoruichi before lightly lifting it up and bowing his head slightly, she returned the gesture before downing the glass and rushing outside to where the girl of her dreams is (literally).

Kukaku shot a look at Kisuke who had a confused look on his face and shrugged, the black haired student's attention was soon on the two older heirs who were chuckling and wearing big grins.

"Okay, you two just what's so funny?"

The two young men turned their attention to Kukaku "Nothing yet but you'll be finding out soon" they replied cryptically

The parents sat there with confused expression on their faces and Ganju was still stuffing his face without a care in the world.

The young Chinese girl is once again standing in the same place that she was about fifteen minutes ago but this time a hurricane of questions was streaming through her head 'why do I relax when I'm with her? What is that odd feeling? Why do I feel like I can trust her? Why do I feel safe with her? Why do I respond to her like I do?' more and more whys rushed through her mind kind of like one of those electric belts that flash messages, she was pulled away from her thought by the sound of the door opening.

"You okay?" the usually teasing and playful tone now laced with concern

"Yeah" she relied flatly whilst blowing hoops with the grey toxins.

She stubbed the cigarette out and threw it off the wall then proceeded for the door but once she was next to the caramel skinned girl, she whispered almost silently "Be seeing you"
