After their reconciliation on the balcony a few nights ago, Yoruichi of course thought that it meant that her and Soi Fon would be like her and Kukaku or Kisuke. The following Monday she immediately went to greet her new friend but was greeted back with a glare which left her standing by the lockers like a fool, just like the past few weeks. Confusion was the first emotion that hit her after all the small, irate Chinese girl did say she would 'give it a shot' but the thing that puzzled her most is that she suddenly felt like someone just stabbed her through her chest, slowly pushing a blade though her shoulder blades and piercing her heart. It hurt. The pain quickly was forgotten as she tried to figure out what caused the reaction. Hearing the bell she made her way to class.
The first part of the day went pretty much the same as always, she went to her classes, got lost in thought and had to fend off a very irritating Kukaku, telling her to forfeit the bet since she's getting nowhere. Of course her pride wouldn't allow it even though something kept gnawing at her. At lunch she went straight towards the roof, still confused, hurt and slightly annoyed at Soi Fon's coldness. She went up the stairs and flung the door open, not expecting anyone to be there. And to her surprise the very girl that has been on her mind for the whole morning was sitting there, leaning on her arms whilst sitting crossed legs and looking upwards.
Upon hearing the door slam against the wall, Soi Fon whipped her head around. Seeing who it is, she turned her attention back to the sky. A confused expression makes its way to the usually playful student.
"Hey." She greeted flatly.
"What's got you so down?"
"So you're talking to me?" Yoruichi asked in a hopeful tone.
"No I'm using sign language." The Chinese girl rolled her eyes "What does it look like I'm doing big head?"
She smiles at the response before realising what has been said "Hey! I don't have a big head!"
"Keep telling yourself that." She said emotionlessly whilst shaking her head, the corners of her lips twitching slightly.
The smile on the goddesses face quickly turned into a frown.
"Now what's up with the expression?" Soi Fon asked with a raised brow.
"Why did you give me that look when I said hi to you this morning?" She asked as her frown deepened.
"If I recall correctly I said I would give this little friendship a try, I never said I would make it public for the whole student body to see. After all this is just a try and I don't feel like dealing with the problems that come with just talking to you."
"B-but why?" Yoruichi stammered uncharacteristically.
"I don't need your fan girl's following me around and bombarding me with questions."
"Like they would." The goddess muttered. "I don't think they will after the little show with Tammy and Chizuru."
Soi Fon scoffed "They might bother me by following me around and sucking up to me."
For the first time today the goddess let out a laugh. A small smile made its way to the usually cold student's face 'I like making her laugh' the smile soon slipped before she blinked a few times 'WHAT?! Where in hell did that come from?'
"So are we going to be hiding this for ever?" The goddess asked in a sad tone.
The younger of the two scoffed once more "You're making it sound like we're having a secret love affair or something. It's not a problem is it?"
"No! It's fine." Yoruichi answered a bit too quickly and loudly causing Soi Fon to raise a brow in disbelief before sighing.
"Look Yoruichi, I don't deal well with attention like you've heard and seen if someone annoys me even just a little, I automatically flip. Plus I'm on my last strike. Another fight and I'm out." Soi replied staring at the clouds.
Yoruichi nodded in understanding. "I understand."
For the next ten minutes or so, the two girls sat there in a calm yet comfortable silence as they both watched clouds float before Yoruichi broke the silence.
"Hey bee." She called out, seeing her friend turn her head, shooting another glare at her. She smiled innocently.
"What big head?" Soi Fon replied, the corners of her lips twitching once again.
A frown made its way to the goddesses face as she shook her head and whined "I DON'T HAVE A BIG HEAD!" kind of like a child whining about a toy.
"You know if you keep telling yourself that, you might actually believe that."
The frown deepened before her lips turned into a smile upon hearing her friends teasing tone as quick as the smile made its way to her lips. It disappeared, the golden irises no longer swirling with playfulness as they hardened and turned serious. "It's been bugging me for a while now but you look nothing like your father."
Soi Fon raised a brow as she looked at her friend quizzically "What do you mean?"
"Well, he's tall and you're… not. He has glasses and brown eyes; you don't have glasses or brown eyes."
"I could have just gotten my features from my mother." Soi Fon replied, not too keen on revealing too much about herself.
"That is true but you should have inherited features from your father too!"
Soi Fon sighed "You're right I look nothing like him because he isn't my father."
This time Yoruichi wore the quizzical look, seeing the question coming she continued to speak.
"Me and…. Aizen are not blood related." She watched as the goddess nodded in understanding.
"What happened to your parents?" Yoruichi blurted out without thinking.
Soi Fon's eyes darkened "My parents were killed and since he saw so much talent in me, he chose to take me in."
Golden eyes soften as navy-black bangs cover silver eyes. Sensing that she already crossed the line, Yoruichi hesitantly reached out and starts rubbing Soi Fon's back, in an up and down motion. Soi Fon tensed at first before relaxing slightly.
"Do you want to talk about it?"
"No."
"You know it's better to talk about things then bottle them up."
At the reply Soi Fon snorted "Your one to talk." As she looked at her friend sceptically.
Yoruichi used her free hand to scratch the back of her neck as she grinned sheepishly "True that." Her tone went back to serious "You know if you ever want to talk to me, you can."
"Thanks but not needed."
The goddess frowned at the reply, not liking the fact that the younger girl was keeping her at arm's length 'Can't really blame her since I didn't really make a good first impression. Sooner or later she will learn to trust me'
The bell signalling the end of lunch went off; the two girls said their goodbyes as they parted.
END OF THE DAY:
Yoruichi, Kisuke and Kukaku are by their cars with two tall male students.
"So Yoruichi-san, heard you took a bet to bed the new chick." The orange head out of the two males commented.
"Yeah, I did. Where did you hear that Ichigo?" she replied in a neutral tone but inside she was panicking. 'Oh my god, what if Soi hears about this? Will she ignore me again?'
"Green boy told us." The red head replied whilst pointing his thumb in Kisuke's direction.
"Really Renji?" she replied neutrally, her golden eyes narrowing dangerously at her blonde friend before she sucker punched him in the face. "Kisuke learn to keep your mouth shut." She growled.
"D-d-don't worry Yoruichi-san, we won't tell a soul." Ichigo replied whilst putting both hands over the left side of his chest. Renji nodded in agreement.
"Better not." Her voice low and threatening.
"So you must getting close to bedding her if you're worried about her finding out." Renji stated.
Kukaku cackled in glee "She aint getting nowhere, the Shihōin charms is nothing to this one." She crossed her arms and grinned at her purple headed friend smugly "You may as well give up and stop wasting both our times. You know if you do, the next month will be a walk in the park."
Yoruichi scoffs "Like hell I will and actually I am progressing." She crossed her arms defensively, once again ignoring the gnawing feeling at the back of her head.
"Really now, Yoru-chan?" the black headed senior said putting emphasis on the suffix. "When she left you this morning, she didn't seem to want anything to do with you."
Yoruichi's eye twitched involuntarily at the suffix "Seriously Kukaku you should know I'm not one to give up. She just requires more time than the others."
"Your right Yoruichi but when the time comes to an end, don't start crying to me coz ima work ya hard the month dat you're my slave." She replied with a menacing grin.
"Well, we'll see you later." Renji and Ichigo both said simultaneously before scampering off, out the gate.
"Come Green boy, let's go." Kukaku commanded, whilst moving her head towards the cars. Seeing her other friend's attention on the front doors of the school she yells "Oi purple head! Ya coming?"
"Huh? What? Oh um, I forgot something in my locker. Go on without me. I'll see you two later!" The goddess rushed before bolting off into the school. The two friends looked at each other oddly before shrugging and speeding off.
Bolting down the corridor, she collides with someone causing her to land on her ass. A familiar clank and cold voice causes her to look up "Watch where you're go-ing." Gold and silver irises lock once again before Yoruichi grinned sheepishly.
"Soi Fon." She greeted cheerfully 'just the person I'm looking for. Is this luck or what and WHAT THE FUCK IS HER BODY MADE OF?'
"Yoruichi, why were you charging through the corridors like a headless bull?"
The goddess let out a tensed laugh before scratching the back of her neck. She found herself doing this a lot lately especially in front of the younger girl. "Um…" she trailed off 'why exactly was I running into the school again? Too find you! Why else? DUH! Come on excuses!'
Soi Fon stood with her arms crossed, her foot tapping and her eye brow raised in amusement.
"Um…. I was looking for you." The goddess mumbled whilst glaring at the ground, venting her frustration at not being able to make an excuse up.
A smirk made its way to the usually cold students face; she couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction at seeing the usually confident goddess squirm. "Aw, you came running in here like a headless elephant just for me? You shouldn't have Yoruichi-sama."
Yoruichi's eye twitched in annoyance at the formality before catching the teasing tone. She lifted her gaze up to the steel like irises and frowned 'it's not fun being teased.'
"You know sitting on your ass and frowning is unbecoming for a goddess." Soi Fon Smirked.
Yoruichi huffed "Help me up then bee!"
"Get up on your own big head."
"You said I am a goddess! So I command you to help me up!" the purple headed student replied with a smirk causing the younger of the two to roll their eyes before extending a hand out and pulling the goddess up.
"Ah! Thank bee!" she said whilst brushing off dust off of herself. "So where you going now?"
"Home. Why?"
"I wanted to offer you a ride home." She replied flashing her trademark catty grin.
Soi Fon blinked for a few seconds in disbelief before raising a brow "Okay let me see if I understand, so you came charging down the corridor like some ogre, just to find me and offer me a ride home?"
"Uhhhh….." Another sheepish grin made its way to the goddeses face "Yeah, I guess….. I did."
Soi Fon rolled her eyes before walking towards the exit "Weirdo."
"I'M NOT WEIRD!" the taller of the two huffed defensively as she followed the smaller girl out "I was just trying to be nice so you want a ride?" she asked hopeful.
Soi Fon looked upwards, seeing the clouds were turning a dark shade of grey. She sighed. "I guess I don't have much of a choice."
"Of course you do. I'm not forcing you to get into my car." Yoruichi replied, leading the younger girl to her car.
Soi Fon scoffed "No but you would probably follow me and persist on the offer. Plus look up; it's going to rain soon. I think there may be a thunder storm soon."
At the last comment, the goddess gulped "Y-y-you're not serious are you?"
Soi Fon raised a brow as she got into the passenger seat "You're not scared of thunder are you?"
"Of course not! I just don't like rain or thunder, it just makes me jumpy. Who likes thunder anyway?" Yoruichi replied as she started her car, preparing to exit the gate.
"I do, I find thunder and lightning fascinating."
"Only you would. Wouldn't you?" Yoruichi mumbled.
Hearing the mumble, the younger of the two smirked 'so she's scared of thunder eh?'
"Hold on, you don't like rain?" Soi Fon asked with a raised brow.
Yoruichi let out a tense chuckle "You caught that huh? And to answer your question I don't. I absolutely hate rain or getting wet unless it is to shower."
Soi Fon snorted at the reply causing Yoruichi to look at her with a raised brow before realising what she said "Well, getting wet in that sense. Now I don't mind." She said with her trademark catty grin and a wink. "My, my bee I never knew you were so dirty minded."
Soi Fon scoffed before smirking once again 'she certainly is just like a cat' she chuckled inwardly at her thought. As if on cue, droplets started to fall, covering each window with streaks. Light pit pat sounds are heard as they sat in silence waiting for the red light to turn green.
"So I guess you were right about the weather forecast, little bee. You know you're more accurate than the weather forecast guy. Maybe you should work of the weather after all I'd certainly watch it." Yoruichi said, once again winking at the younger girl. Causing Soi Fon to cross her arms and shoot another glare at the goddess which caused a roar of laughter to erupt from her.
Soi Fon shook her head "Oi big head concentrate on the road." She command upon seeing the light turn green.
Catching her breath "oh…. Ummm alright." After another comfortable silence Yoruichi looked at her passenger sheepishly "Umm…. Bee where exactly do you live?"
Soi Fon blinked before realising she didn't tell the goddess where her house is, looking at the road they were on. She nodded remembering all the shops and the quickest route to her house. "Turn right."
Yoruichi nodded in return, following the younger girls instructions. After a few more instructions they were finally on a straight road. "Hey bee, do you have a car?"
Turning her attention from the window, she looks at her friend "Yeah and a few bikes."
"Nice!" Yoruichi exclaimed with a grin "Why you always on foot then?"
Soi Fon raised a brow before smirking "How do you know I walk?"
"Errr….. Umm… I see you leaving the gates on foot all the time." She replied quickly causing the smirk to widen.
"And here I thought you were stalking me." Seeing the uncharacteristic blush to appear on the goddess face caused the younger of the two to smile in satisfaction. "And to answer your question I like walk, its relaxing and refreshing."
Yoruichi nodded in agreement "Yeah, I know what you mean it's a great way to clear your thoughts."
Soi Fon couldn't help but fake a gasp as she put her hand over her mouth "You have thoughts?! I wasn't aware that your brain was capable of doing such a thing."
"HEY! Now you're just being mean!" Yoruichi exclaimed as a scowl graced her features.
Soi Fon chuckled at the reaction and soon Yoruichi found herself giggling too, she wasn't used to being teased but she was happy the younger girl was finally loosening up around her.
"Well, we're here."
Hearing the comment, she pulled up into a parking spot. Frowning slightly since her time with the younger girl was up.
"Well… Later big head." Soi Fon said as she unstrapped the seat belt.
Then a loud boom got their attention, they both jumped. Yoruichi's arms wrapping tightly around the younger girl. "AHHHH!" she screamed.
Shocked by the sudden embrace, she was once again blinking before wrapping her arms to comfort her friend.
"S-s-soi, c-c-can i come u-up. I d-d-don't want t-to drive home right now."
