I can do this. It's not like I haven't had beautiful students before. I am faithful to Yoruichi, I love her and just because a beautiful woman who is barely wearing anything isn't going to change that love for Yoruichi. And I am not going to let this beautiful woman go to waste on Hisagi's teaching. Plus if I turn down her appointment, it will show a sign of weakness. I am not weak. i took a deep breathe looking at the woman standing before me.
"Come with me Harribel." i said motioning over to a little section of the gym where the practice punching dummies stood. She followed right behind my heels and she threw her bag off of the mat next to the window. The entire gyme had mats aside from the 2 feet where it was bare away from the windows. "go ahead and take off your shows, you wont need them." i pointed to her nice new sneakers.
"Really?" she sat down untying her nice black shoes that look like they just came out of the box this morning. her voice was a little muffled by her sort of outfit covering her mouth. byt i still was able to hear her clearly.
"Really. This is just practice, and the goal is to not seriously injure someone. Plus I don't want you to ruin my mats." she looked at me then down at the mats eyes guilty. it was very interesting to only see her emotions through her eyes and not really her mouth or face.
"sorry." she said no longer showing the guilty. it was like once she showed it, she pulled it right back in and hid it. This woman seemed to not be a very emotional kind of person. and if she is, she likes to hide it. specially she has a turtleneck easily covering and hiding behind it to cover her emotions.
i offered my hand when she was done but she ignored it. This woman was hardcore. SHe was serious, and not so very emotional like Yoruichi. She got up and placed her shoes neatly next to her bag. she walked back over to me looking down at me. She then seemed like she wasn't sure about this whole teaching. She was looking me up head to toe, unsure if I could really be a teacher. I hated that she was underestimating me. Then I just smiled ready to prove this woman wrong.
"alright, now show me what you know." i said taking 2 steps back allowing us some space. She stood staring at me. not moving.
"I don't have a reason to fight." she said which threw me back alittle. This woman had respect and honor. That's a plus.
"it's not fighting. its practice. know the difference. You came here on your own, you chose to learn, and as your instructor i order you to show me what you know."
she looked at me for a good minute or so. Hisagi and Isane now had their own costumers to deal with instead of staring at us, which is good. Harribel then took her stance placing her hands infront of her face her feet spread nicely apart. I stood my side facing her acting very carefree. knowing her she will either try to punch my back or stomach. that is if she was a smart fighter. but if she was not, then she would go for the face. She lunged after me and I was wrong, she went for the feet. something i have never seen done. she swooped down and kicked my ankles and fell backwards but i grabbed onto her turtle neck ripping it down as she stood up and i immediately stood up letting go over her turtleneck. she grabbed it very quickly making sure it didnt move away from her face. she glared at me and went back again. this time i was in my stance. she started to punch my face and tried to hit my ribs. and i annalyzed her posture and finally found the open spot. she lunged out stretching out far fro my open face. i ducked down and kicked her smack in the left ribcage. she groaned as she went to cross and hit me again but i ducked under the punch again grabbing her left arm which was outstretched and pulled it behind her back pushing her down as i laid ontop of her. She groaned as her mouth was now covered by her out turtlneck. she couldnt speak, and i was then worried that she couldnt breathe clearly.
i reach around with my left hand grabbing the front of her turtleneck pulling away from her mouth so she was able to breathe. i then looked down at her back that was barely covered by her turtleneck bra. it was very enticing and beautiful that i had to resist the urge to just place my head on her back. but just as i was about to let go of her left hand, her light arm moved and she elbowed me right in the face. i fell off of her as she became free and somehow she grabbed my hands and pinned them above my head and her eyes showed the snickering. she sat down straddling my waist as she leaned down very close and I was able to smell her. watermelons with chocolate.
she moved both of my hands into her right hand and i didnt fight right off the bat. she moved her left hand and grabbed one of my braids. she analyzed it then asked without mothering to look at me. "you have some interesting braids." i could see her beautiful green eyes smiling.
"you have the same." i noted seing one come down from her shoulder.
"you are also a good fighter, im glad that i chose you to be my teacher." her voice was so very soft and in response i moved my legs up wrapping my ankles up around the front of her neck pulling her down so she was letting go of my hands trapping her down under my legs. i sat up holding down her legs at my waist. she looked up at me and just as i tightened my grip around her neck, she finally tapped and we both were released.
i laid down next to her as she looked over at me. "want to go and get a drink tonight?" she asked breathing a little heavily.
i was shocked by the question. but i had to force myself with the answer. "busy."
"doing what?" she came back fast. this woman seemed determined.
"why is it any of your business." i looked over at her who ws now staring at me.
"because i want to know why your turning me down." damn she was good.
"because i have a girlfriend." i said flatly trying my hardest to resist this Beautiful creature.
she was laughing. "look, i aint asking you to have sex with me. just a drink. you wont be cheating on your little girlfriend. Just a drink. as friends?" she was pleading.
"i dont even know you." i said plainly.
"that is why we have drinks to get to know each other." her eyes were so very hypnotizing and that was something that i couldnt fight against. i felt weak. and she seemed to realize that.
i sighed deply looking up at the white cieling. Just as I was about to deny Harribel again, Isane walked up with Hisagi looking at us worried. "everything ok?" Asked Isane acting like a fucking tower leaning over me.
"yeah." i said sitting up as Harribel did the same looking up at my friends.
"Were we interrupting something?" Hisagi asked waving his brows. I glared at him leaning back pushing out my right foot kicking him right where it hurts. he fell to the ground with a groan turning red. I winced at the pain on my foot, but it soon vanished again. I stood up with Harribel looking down at the poor Hisagi.
"your lucky I don't hit women." he wimpered holding his crotch. then the next thing I knew he kicked the back of my knee making me fall to my knees. "lucky for me your not a woman." he laughed lunging at me but soon he was found in the choke hold and he tapped out and we both stood up. when i looked up to see Harribel analyzing me, i felt very embarrassed and blushed.
Harribel notced and she patted my shoulder. "thank you for the lession Shaolin. I shall be back again for more. But if you want to have that drink," she went over to her bag and pulled out a small piece of paper and pen and wrote on it handing it to me after. "call me anytime." she sounded serious, but in her eyes, i could tell inside she was smiling. she then grabbed her bag and shoes, walked over to the cashier with Hisagi paid and left. Once she was gone Isane grabbed my arm rushing me over to her little back room which was empty again and motioned for Hisagi to join. one he was inside the room she slammed the door and sat me down at her desk and they both stared down at me like i was guilty of something.
"I didn't do it." i sighed and Isane was tapping her foot.
"You like that girl." i was surprised to hear the come from Hisagi.
"shut u-"
"he is right Soifon. We all saw it." Isane wasnt going to take my lies, and i knew i was going to loose if i fought.
"So what?" i said no longer denying it.
"So what are you going to do bout it?" Isane asked sitting on the desk staring at me.
"There is nothing I can do about it." i said flatly and Hisagi wasnt going to take that answer.
"I think you should have a drink with her." and i was even more surprised.
"are you crazy!? you want me to cheat on Yoruichi?" I couldnt believe what I was hearing. Not that Hisagi was talking, what what he was actually saying. He is such an asshole for wanting me to cheat on Yoruichi!
"calm down Soi, that's not what I meant." he turned towards me placing both of his hands on my shoulders trying to calm me down. but i was so mad at him that I just gave him a terrible stink eye. "What I meant was, that you go out and have fun. This person could be a good friend. And I also think you need some time away from Yoruichi. I always hear what you tell Isane, you think that this office is soundproof when the door is wide open and I can hear you guys talking. And maybe the way things have been. Spend more time with friends and just meet other people Soi. You are emotionally in pain. And if you don't have a drink with this woman, then I will force you to a therapist and make you talk to them." he said the word I hated most. fucking therapist. they are paid to listen to your problems and make you feel better, its just a fucking shit of lies. they try to be your best friend but all they see you is a name on their little clipboard. by the mention of therapist, i knew what to do. plus he may also have a point. Yoruichi has been on my mind 24/7 and I guess it's time for a small break.
I gave up sighing. "fine." i lower my head. "but what do I tell Yoruichi?" i said looking back up at them.
Isane opened her cell and dailed a few numbers and put the phone on speaker. after about 5 rings it hit the voicemail of me saying leave a message blah blah blah. "Yoruichi, wake up! WAKE UP!" after about two other times of Isane shouting wake up into the phone, Yoruichi answered the phone tired.
"what is it Isane?" she moaned.
"Just wanna let you know tonight Hisagi and I are going to take Soifon out for a drink tonight if you dont mind. She will be home later to change, but we are going to pick her up to go out drinking tonight." Isane was smiling as we heard a small paused from Yoruichi.
"Are you sure that's a good idea? She had a big cut last night because of her drinking. I don't think it's very healthy for her to drink. I think she might be becoming an alcoholic" God Yoruichi has no hesitation when it comes to telling strangers my problems. What also pissed me off it that she didn't know that I did very well with drinking in public. i only go crazy when I am in the safety of my own home. Or I guess I can't do that anymore since I will be judged by Yoruichi.
Isane saw my glare but she kept on smiling "don't worry Yoruichi. We will be sure she be a good girl. she just looks like she needs a little friend time."
Yoruichi finally gave in. "alright, just have her back before 2am ok?"
"got it!" Isane closed the phone looking at me happy.
"still think that this isnt a good idea?" Hisagi shook my shoulder and i glanced up at him. "you know Soi, I sometimes think that you can do better. Sure Yoruichi is a good person and all. But she isnt the kind of good person for you, someone you can trust and where she can trust you too. I know I sound like a jackass, but please listen to me when I say that maybe this is a good thing to do." Hisagi had a good point. I didn't trust Yoruichi. and i dont think she trusts me either. she says she cares for me, but when I do tell her things, she treats me like I am below her and broken. And it's not like I am going to go right to Harribel and make out with her. But I am sure as hell going to tell everyone how I am not occupied.
"Isane, can I borrow your cell?" I asked and as she gave me her phone, i took out the piece of paper and dailed the number.
and on the second ring she answered. "Harribel speaking." her voice wasnt muffled. I then started to imagine her without her turtleneck around her face, it looked beautiful.
"H-Hi Harribel, its S-Shaolin, your fighting instructor, you know, the one you just gave your number to." then I heard a small laugh.
"Oh yes, the fighting instructor with long braids. How may I help you?"
"well, I-I was calling to let you know that my plans tonight got canceled. And was wondering if your offer for a drink tonight was still on the table?" I was blushing and Hisagi and Isane giggling in the background wasnt helping.
"oh right. Of course, When do you get off at work?"
"around 8. But I have to go home and change first."
"how about we meet at Esquire around 10. you know where that is at?"
i smiled cant believing that this is really going to happen. "yea, I heard it is really good."
"the best, I can't wait to see you Shaolin. see you at 10."
"ok, bye." i hung up and i my cheeks started to hurt and i then realized that I was smiling and blushing. I then ignored my friends looking at the clock.
It is only 10am. I will get to see her in 12 hours. I guess this is going to be a very long day. But for once in a very long time. I am very excited. And I guess it might not hurt to try to be myself around this person.
I'm sorry Yoruichi, but even my friends have realized that I have been different since I have been with you, and now it is at its all time worse. I guess thats what happens in life though, out with the old, and in with the new. Lets just hope this wont kill me.
Holy cracker jackers! NO WAY DUDE! Poor little Yoruichi is going to get pissed IF she ever finds out that Soifon isn't going drinking with her friends, but an attractive girl who asked Soifon to go out drinking! Anyhooters, there is the chapter and the next one will be very interstin. maybe. hopefully. idk. you decide. ok time to pass out at the count of 3...2...1...0...-1...-2...-3
~Bingo!
