Yoruichi landed on the square center of the somewhat leveled roof. She had just followed Hiroka outside knowing what would happen if she did. A flash of orange appeared across from her.
"Ah, Shihouin, I'm glad you came, I thought for sure you would stay back and protect your little Captain" Hiroka said giggling. Yoruichi glared at her saying nothing at all. She just wanted to get this over with and go back and protect Soifon.
"Why waste your time talking when we can dance" Yoruichi smirked as she flashed to attack. She was just about to land a kick, but a hand stopped her.
"Impossible, no one is as fast as me" Yoruichi thought as her eyes widened in shock. Hiroka had stopped her, and at the moment she was smirking.
"You know, Soifon was wrong about you" Hiroka said, and then she chuckled when she saw Yoruichi, though she probably didn't know she did it, faltered in her movements and a flash of curiosity blazed through her golden eyes.
"She told me while hanging in her chains that you were the fastest shinigami alive, clearly she exaggerated" Hiroka said as a cruel insult just before taking her other hand and gripping Yoruichi's leg and putting little effort into slamming Yoruichi onto the rough edged roof.
"I am the fastest, and I have a nickname to prove it" Yoruichi bragged as she easily stood back up like nothing had happened at all, Though her right side was throbbing slightly.
"Hahaha you're very funny, but some nicknames are given out by mistake, clearly you don't live up to your name" Hiroka teased, but Yoruichi merely shrugged it off, she and all of the Soul Society knew how fast she truly was. But instead of retaliating with a crude remark, Yoruichi sent out an invisible punch to Hiroka's stomach, and since Hiroka had let her guard down so she could insult Yoruichi, the impact was greater and caused her to heave over and gag a little. Yoruichi quickly pulled back and went for another blow.
"Who's slow again" Yoruichi taunted as she landed an earth shattering kick to the exact same spot in the center of Hiroka's stomach. This time Hiroka fell to her knees and coughed loudly.
"O-Ok, you got a couple of lucky hits" Hiroka rasped slightly. Then, much to Yoruichi's surprise, Hiroka started to rise to her feet.
"I suppose that's what I get for letting my guard down" Hiroka said adjusting herself and clearing her throat. She tapped her stomach, it felt tender and it was pulsing from the impact of the two blows Yoruichi had dealt her.
"But don't expect it to happen again" Hiroka threatened as she raised both hands to an even level at either side of her face. Her hands began to glow a dull orange color. And in a fluid motion the orange sheen spread over Hiroka's body like the morning sun just as it rose to cover the land. Finally, when all you could see was Hiroka's outline, you could see her begin to change. There was a sickening crack going through entire body and it sent shivers through Yoruichi's spine. Finally something about Hiroka's bottom half began to morph into a serpent like body. And her hands began to grow thick four inch claws.
"Whoa" Yoruichi thought in disgusted surprise as the orange light shattered into particles in the morning light. Hiroka smirked at the surprised black cat.
"Surprised are you, well its normal I suppose not very many people have seen a battle form like mine before, beautiful isn't it" Hiroka said as she lifting her orange tail and whipping it around a little bit before letting it thud to the roof.
"You actually look pretty ugly from where I'm standing" Yoruichi deadpanned with a wide grin on her face. Hiroka growled before clawing at the air sending orange disks to fly at Yoruichi. But being as amazingly fast as she was; Yoruichi took a few side steps to the right in a blink of an eye. The orange disks flew past where Yoruichi just was, but then they made an arch and turned around. Yoruichi shifted her eyesight and saw that the disks were coming her way,
"What the heck" she thought frantically as she dodged them again. But every time she moved one way, they would come at her again. Finally getting irritated, Yoruichi leapt up high enough and waited for the disks to attack. And right on cue the disks flew to her location. Yoruichi grinned. They were right where she wanted them to be. She lifted her right arm and faced it towards the oncoming disks. A sudden white essence began to glow around her body, slowly swirling around her arm.
"SHUNKO" Yoruichi shouted as she sent a concentrated energy at them. The attack hit, but when it did a decent sized explosion resulted, and Yoruichi was sent down to the roof again. But at the last second she managed to land on her toes.
"What was that" Yoruichi mumbled to herself as she stood up properly and dusted herself off. She looked around and saw that Hiroka was nowhere to be seen. Yoruichi shifted her body and eyes, scanning the area for the now half serpent woman.
"Looking for me" the horribly familiar voice called from behind. Yoruichi quickly turned and saw that Hiroka standing close by, filing her claws.
"I thought you ran away" Yoruichi grinned. The statement made Hiroka scoff,
"Oh please, I could win this fight in no time; I'm just taking my sweet time with you" Hiroka said casually as she finished her right hand, and examined it.
"I'm not a pushover, if anything I could beat you up in less time then you could imagine" Yoruichi huffed in a playful banter. Hiroka looked at Yoruichi, and rolled her eyes. She didn't doubt Yoruichi was a great fighter, but she had to get an edge on her if she wanted to win quickly. She had someone she wanted to go "play" with back inside the throne room. Suddenly a memory flashed into Hiroka's mind, this little tidbit she had remembered was her trump card to victory, but she had to use it at the right time, otherwise the fight could go either way.
"Let's test that theory shall we" Hiroka said before turning into an orange blur and whacking Yoruichi on the back of the leg with her thick tail. Yoruichi's leg buckled and caused her to fall backwards, but to regain her balance; Yoruichi grabbed Hiroka's tail and did a backwards flip, just before landing easily onto the roof again.
"Gonna have to do better than that" Yoruichi smiled before flashing behind Hiroka and kicking her square in the back. Hiroka raised her tail and snapped it at Yoruichi, but she was one step ahead of the snake woman, so she grabbed the tail and swung herself around before taking Hiroka's tail and wrapping it around Hiroka's body. Hiroka once again rolled her eyes.
She took control of her tail and started to spin Yoruichi around. Once she thought it was fast enough, Hiroka turned to face the edge of the roof, and suddenly stopped Yoruichi from spinning, but because of the stop; Yoruichi lost her grip and was sent flying towards the edge. But Hiroka slithered after her and used her claws to slash her in midair, but before doing a quick hand stand and using the momentum to put all her effort to hit Yoruichi like a baseball with a bat. The impact caused Yoruichi to fly the other way towards the other edge of the massive roof. But just as she was about to land, Hiroka had caught up with her and hit Yoruichi in her ribcage.
"This should be fun, ive never played Shihouin tennis before" Hiroka said in a clearly amused voice as she kept switching sides and hitting Yoruichi back and forth.
"GAH" Yoruichi gasped as another hit sent her flying.
"I have to turn this around, if I don't I can't go help Soifon" Yoruichi thought as she tried to right herself. But it was almost ten minutes before Yoruichi could even try to get control of herself Hiroka used her tail to stop Yoruichi from flying over the rooftop.
"Well, that was fun, but I think it's time to wrap this up, your starting to bore me, I actually thought you would put up a fight" Hiroka sighed as she turned to hang Yoruichi over the still darkened pit below.
"Before I drop you to die, I wanted to tell you something" Hiroka said knowingly. Yoruichi, despite her now growing pain all over, tried to get herself free from her scaled prison.
"There's no point struggling, my grip is uncompared, but please let me tell you this before I forget, it did have something to do with your precious Captain" Hiroka said deciding to play her trump card early. Yoruichi stopped struggling at the mention of Soifon.
"What about her" Yoruichi glared questioningly at the orange serpent woman, who was wearing a smug look.
"Well, I found out something quite interesting about her, did you know she talks in her sleep" Hiroka asked, but when she got no answer in return she continued.
"Well, your little Captain told me quite an interesting story the night I was taking her here" Hiroka chuckled. Once again, Yoruichi said absolutely nothing.
"You know when you have a conversation with someone its rude not to talk" Hiroka pointed out as she glared at Yoruichi.
"Sorry, you were boring me" Yoruichi spit with as much venom as possible.
"That was rude, but I still have to tell you what the Captain told me" Hiroka said. A spark of white came from Yoruichi's hand, but it went unnoticed from the snake as she began to talk.
"We were actually half way through the shadowed forest when she starting mumbling something" Hiroka said as she began to sway her tail, along with Yoruichi, lazily over the edge.
"She starting whimpering things like, don't leave me, and why did you leave me here alone" Hiroka said mimicking Soifon's hurt voice. Yoruichi stiffened at the hurtful words. She had known about Soifon's sleep talking, but to hear what Soifon said from someone else, especially her captor, it just about killed her.
"Shame on you Shihouin, leaving her to fend for herself, though we both know she can take care of herself, you still left her without warning" Hiroka said with a cruel mocking tone. Hiroka felt Yoruichi start to tremble within her coils, her trump card had worked. But seeing the were-cat this way was too good to pass up, so Hiroka decided to add salt to the wound.
"If things go the way master had planned, I think I'll keep your precious Captain; she's very cute, and I'll need something to prevent me from being bored" Hiroka smirked. Suddenly she shrieked as she felt an extraordinary pain go through her body. The source was coming from the middle of her tail where Yoruichi was now settled between a burned and partially destroyed tail. Hiroka dropped Yoruichi before pulling her tail in to examine the damages done, and they were quite severe. Blood continued to flow from the singed scales and raw flesh. A flash of purple suddenly flew up behind her and gave a heavy kick to her back.
The impact caused Hiroka to fly about three feet and land, but as she was skidding away, the purple flash came at her from the right side and kicked her in the shoulder sending her the other direction. Hiroka waited for Yoruichi to attack her again once she had stopped, but no kind of painful hit or kick came her way. But a heavy Reiatsu kept her pinned down. She felt a presence behind her, and it felt dangerous and deadly. She struggled to move her gaze to face the now angry feline woman. Her golden eyes were glowing with lividness and hatred towards the injured snake, and it truly terrified her this time around.
"You" Yoruichi's voice seethed, Hiroka flinched a bit.
"How dare you say that about her, she would kill you if you even tried to touch her" Yoruichi hissed. Hiroka, despite her position, managed to laugh at her.
"Oh, and I suppose she would prefer you over me, what a laugh, if anything she would take Akara over you, she was there to pick up your mess" Hiroka stated. Yoruichi just glared at her, and without saying anything she clutched Hiroka by her bloody throat and lifted her off the ground.
"You don't know her like I do and neither does that stupid possessed wolf girl" Yoruichi shouted and she used her Shunko and finished off the snake woman and throwing her off the roof.
"I win" Yoruichi said as she turned around to go back down the hole she came in. But every step she took was painful, she had beaten severely and she could feel some blood running down her legs and arms. Her ribcage was pulsing, so it was difficult to breathe, but to Yoruichi, her pain could come later, Soifon was in danger at the moment and she would probably need help. Yoruichi was about five limping steps from the way she came out from when her legs gave out on her.
"I don't need this right now, come on legs, we gotta mission to finish here" Yoruichi scolded at her own body as she shakily got up far enough to rest on her forearms.
"Darn it, I have to get up" Yoruichi mumbled as she slowly managed to get to her knees.
"Close enough" Yoruichi shrugged as she slowly crawled to the hole, she had gotten closer now but when she finally peered over, she saw Soifon entangled in Kuto's flamed whip, she heard Soifon scream as she hit the ceiling and got electrocuted as well as burned. Yoruichi felt an adrenaline rush course through her as she quickly got up to jump through the hole and attack. But she also saw Maiko, now in human form; cutting the whip and bringing Soifon down before watching her slowly stand back up. Suddenly Maiko had screamed in pain, and Yoruichi's eye's widened, Maiko had been burned right in her eye. Yoruichi couldnt the pain the wolf was experiencing at that moment. She saw Kuto raise his weapon at the two and immediately she dove through the hole without a second thought.
