They day went by so slow. I had around 5 other appointments and the students were all making my day go slower and slower. but each hour I would go through the process of what was going to happen tonight with Harribel. And I was excited, nervous, scared, happy, scared, and even more scared. and I just kept looking at the clock waiting for it to hit 8pm. But somehow just about when I was about to give up hope, Hisagi interrupted my session with a young boy who just was stuck in his own little world trying to show me fighting was more important than protection and peace. he was all bout kicking ass. But I had to teach him a lesson on ass kicking and I flipped him over my shoulder and he fell onto his back with a big oomph and thud. I think the boy was almost as happy as me that this session was finally over. I helped the boy up and shook his hand as he was trying very hard to walk straight and normal with his mother out of the dojo.

I thanked Hisagi as Isane locked up her office as she handed me my shoes and bag. the sun was pretty much about to disappear from the sky and the moon started to appear behind the mountains and as I opened the door I felt a nice cool breeze and of course Hisagi and Isane bundled up in their thick jackets cold. Isane ordered me to put on my shoes before I went outside. I did so and locked up the dojo and we were all on our way to my appartment. This was the plan because this is what usually happened and are not allowed to let Yoruichi smell something fishy. And I loved my friends for help protecting me and being there for me even though I never ask for it.

I opened up my apartment door and found no Yoruichi in sight. I sighed letting my friends inside behind me as Isane closed the door behind her. They waited as I went to my room to grab some nice clothes and went into my master bathroom. I turned on the shower placing my clothes on the toilet starting to get undressed. I took off my bandage on my foot and just as I walked in and was about to close the door behind me. A pair of arms wrapped around my torso grabbing my breasts. I knew it was Yoruichi, and for some reason, I wasn't turned on like I usually was.

"Yoruichi." i sighed closing the door turning around getting out of her grasp.

"cmon little bee! you love it in the shower." she pleaded and what came out next was a surprise to the both of us.

"i would have loved it last night more." i spat and for some reason, i don't regret saying it. it was completely true.

Yoruichi was taken aback by the comment. "what is that supposed to mean?" she folded her arms getting mad.

i sighed grabbing my shampoo ignoring the close space in the shower. "It means that I make love to you, and I get nothing in return."

"Well that is what I am doing now silly, making you feel better." she said moving up against me against pressing her breasts to my head and I started to feel annoyed. I pushed her away and glared at her.

"listen Yoruichi. It wasn't just last night, you have done this many other times before. Where I would make you feel better, and either you were busy or just fell asleep, or just had to do something, ANYTHING else!"

"that isn't-"

"fuck you Yoruichi. let me take my shower in piece and let me have some fun and let me do something for me." i interrupted her washing out my hair.

Yoruichi gave me a look and sniffed before she left. "you smell like mud and feces. wash your hair again." she commented and grabbed a seperate towel and left. I was so infuriated with Yoruichi that I couldn't think clearly. She was acting like I am in the fucking wrong. Tried to ignore how she truely treated me. She even complained about my scent. Yoruichi was forcing me to lose respect for her. And she was pissing me off. I hissed and pinched the tiled wall inside the shower and the tile broke, but some of it broke and clashed into my knuckles. It hurt sure, but the blood and the stinging started to make the pain fade. I picked the pieces out of my hand and washed away the blood and with my right hand tried to finish washing myself.

about 20 minutes later I made my way out of the shower my hand not bleeding so much. I managed to put on a bra and a nice black shirt with a golden butterfly on my back hugging my body and some tight jeans. I went through my room and noticed Yoruichi was actually snoring. I was pissed and rushed further to Isane and Hisagi in the living room who both were watching some weird shows. But Isane flinched when she saw my hand. thankfully she always took her little mini hospital in a bag with her. She hit the back of my head as I sat down and grabbed her bag. She was cleaning it up and put a bandage on my knuckles and also my foot.

She didn't dare ask me about it, she already knew it involved Yoruichi. HIsagi then encouraged us to leave showing it was already 9:40. We left after I put on some nice black converse and a sweatshirt with golden wings on the back. Isane and Hisagi were telling me what time I had to be home (2am), what to do if Harribel did this, that. "Don't have sex." Isane noted freaking me out with the statement.

"I don't plan to." i felt embarrassed but then Hisagi spoke up yet again.

"why? I think you deserve a little fun. If you don't do it with Harribel, I think you should be open. We heard what happened with you and Yoruichi and you seriously believe that that was just a little fight? I heard the emotion Soi, and Yoruichi doesn't deserve you. And she let you go instead of working it out. So I think you can do whatever you want and not feel guilty." Damn Hisagi is like Dr. Phil. He does have a point though. What Yoruichi did, was let me go and party instead of fight for our relationship. I am now a free girl. and for some reason, I feel free. Like I am not held down, I can be happy and do what I want now.

"i will keep that in mind Hisagi, thank you." I patted his shoulder and her then wrapped an arm around my neck smiling at me. Isane then draped an arm ontop of Hisagi's around my shoulders as I placed both my hands around them smiling. "you guys are very good friends and I thank you for everything you guys have done." I was happy, but then we went to the bar and we parted ways. Hisagi and Isane both gave me a big hug and went our separate ways as I entered the bar. It was nice and fancy. I saw the DJ set in the corner with no DJ yet and to my surprise there was hardly anyone there.

When i searched for Harribel and came up empty, I just sat in a seat up at the bar. The waitor looked at me raising a brow putting his hands on his hips. "yo kid, beat it."

I grabbed my wallet from my sweatshirt pocket and showed him my ID sighing trying really hard not to curse this man out. If there was about 4 hard drinks in me, maybe I would tell him off. The man nodded no longer caring. "what you want?" he handed me back my ID.

"Absinthe." i sighed as I sat up looking up at the screens above the man.

"isn't that alittle heavy for you?" this asshole was getting on my nerves.

"look here, I have money to pay for my own drinks, now get me whatever the fuck I order." my anger was starting to get to me. I knew this was a bad thing, thats why I needed just 1 sip of the drink hopefully before the woman gets here to calm me down. The man finally backed down to make my drink. It might be a bad idea to have this drink, but I could care less if I remember it or not. I just want this pain the Yoruichi has caused me and my hand to go away. I grabbed my left hand feeling the sting just from the slightest touch.

Then just before thoughts of Yoruichi came pouring into my mind, a body sat next to my right and when I looked up, I was actually glad to see the beautiful Harribel. Well, the small about of face of Harribel and the big amount of her body. She was wearing a bra turtleneck again, but this one seemed nice, and she had on some cargo shorts but they huged her thighs nicely. Her shirt was white except the outlines were black. and her cargo's were plaid with white and blue. she looked very cute.

"nice to actually see you here. what did you order?" and as if the bartender was on que he arrived with my epic drink. "what is that?" she asked confused as it was green.

"Absinthe." I said taking the drink as the man stared at Harribel.

"I guess I will go with a Jager Bomb." she smiled at the bartender then looked back at me her eyes filled with concern. "you know, you really didn't have to come tonight."

"i know. I chose on my own free will." i said and just as I was about I was about to take a sip, Harribel grabbed my drink and forced it out of my hand and down on the counter. I looked up at her mad but her eyes were filled with more anger for some reason.

"I didn't invite you out to drink so you could be drunk off your ass and wont be able to have a nice conversation with you." she hissed then reached over pouring out the drink in the sink on the other side of the bar. She then made eye contact with the bartender making her drin kand she put up two fingers. he nodded and went back to his creations.

I thought about her words for a minute, then I started to feel bad and I slumped back into my chair looking down at my hand on the counter. "i'm sorry." i whispered and I felt the glaring disappear.

"so are you truely here to get drunk off your ass and just fool around? Or are you really here to have a night with me?"

i thought about her question. "I wanted to get to know you, and I needed to get out of the house."

She looked over looking at my hand then back at me. "is there something wrong with the house?" she seemed to have concern in her voice.

"it doesn't really matter. I don't want to think about that. I came here for you. So please, tell me about yourself." I said then the bartender came with our Jager Bombs.

we neither took a sip as we were more concentrated on each other for some weird reason. "I am originally from Japan, and moved to America a few years back and finally stopped here for about 1 year. This little town has grown on me. what about you?"

"Born and raised in this big city." she nodded.

"so any family here?" she asked and I shook my head.

"nope, they are all gone." i said looking down at my hand bad hand grabbing my drink with my right hand.

"so they moved away huh?" she asked hopeful.

"no, dead."

she nodded. "mine too." she said in a normal tone but her posture and facial expressions showed her remorse. "cheers!" she lifted her glass. "to us for being survivors!" she clanged my drink and ordered a straw making it go over the space between her turtleneck and face took a sip. I did the same and the drink actually tasted pretty good.
I took another slug as Harribel looked down at my hand. "so what did you do there? Did I do that?" she asked curious.

"no, just had to deal with some broken tile at home." which was true, except, i was the one who broke the tile in the first place. Harribel nodded.

"looks like you punched something and ruined your hand." she said looking up at the TV taking another sip.

"looks can be deceiving." i noted and her eyes were smiling when she looked down at me.

she blinked affirmatively. "yes they can be."

then I blurted. "like you."

"excuse me?" she didnt see that one coming.

"you are hiding something behind that mask." i took another sip looking at her not afraid.

"What do you think I am hiding?" she laughed.

i blinked thinking. "your emotions of course." she didnt know what to do with that one.

"excuse me?"

"and just so you know, you fail at it. you cant hide human emotions. that's what you are. human. and your eyes show it whether you like it or not." i pointed to her eyes and she narrowed her eyes for some reason. I didn't know if she was angry with me, or with herself. but then i feared it was actually me.

"so you think you have me figured out?" she said placing her glass down kinda hard leaning forward her face just a mere inches away from mine.

"no, of course not." i said trying to lean back, but the stool had a back which blocked me from moving any further back and our faces were so close. here eyes were so intense. I felt like I could just melt into those eyes. "I am just saying what I think. and just because you hide one thing, doesn't mean that I have you all figured out. I just know that you are contemporary with your feelings and appearance. I don't know what you like, fear, dislike, love, or what you do. so technically i know nothing about you. I just know how you treat yourself."

she was confused. "how do I treat myself?"

"like shit. you are too hard on yourself, and i dont know why you try to force yourself to not have any emotions, but that isnt any of my business either." she raised an eyebrow thinking.

"i haven't even known you for a whole day, and you still seem to amaze me." her green eyes were smiling which made me blush. I turned away as she leaned back. "so you don't think I am strange?" she asked looking at her drink.

"your choice of outfit is beyond strange. but that is what defines you." and I looked at her hair. "and of course your 3 odd braids interrupting your messy blonde hair." i smiled and she laughed.

"look whos talkin'!" she shouted actually laughing. she grabbed one of my long braids. "at least i dont wrap them up so no one will think I have bandages on my hair." she laughed and made a joke. I then could tell she didnt do that often. and she somehow felt comfortable around me. but hey, i could say the same thing with her.I actually wanted to know more about this woman and never let her out of my grasp. it is like, i got off my addiction with Yoruichi, and now I have found a supplement and that is Harribel.

Harribel and I started to get along more, and we had a few more Jager Bombs along with it boosting up our energy. we were laughing and telling each other about ourselves. I told her how I took over my dads business and running the Dojo with my two friends Isane and Hisagi. I told her how Yoruichi and I just broke up and a few of my hobbies. and she even told me things that Yoruichi never dare talk about. Harribel moved here because she had a friend who is in the investigation business and her friend needed a business partner and they have an investigation place together. Another reason why she is taking my Dojo class is to help protect herself if she ever gets caught. even told me the things she enjoys doing, swimming, jogging, snowboarding, surfing, and now fighting. This Harribel has shared more facts about herself in just a few hours than Yoruichi has ever have in the 4 years we have been together. Harribel even told me about her dead family and some great memories. I then started to feel bad that I had missed out on so many great women for Yoruichi who would never treat me the way i truely deserve.

After about 2 hours of talking, (which went by so very fast,) people started to come in and the DJ arrived and I then stood up excited. I grabbed Harribel's hand and she paused. "cmon!" I shouted as the music and lights started to play. "get loose! Trust me like I trust you." i spoke and that seemed to trigger something in the both of us. I never though myself saying that to a stranger. But I feel like I could lay my life on the line for this person, and they wont throw me away like Yoruichi did.

Harribel sighed standing up as I took off my sweatshirt as we danced down to the packed dancefloor. the packed dance floor forced us to be close and make our bodies touch each other. at first we were both a little uncomfortable, but we just laughed and got used to it. our legs touched each other, then her hands would start to run up and down my arms sending chills up my spine. i was shaking my body back in for as her hands would wonder around my body, and i let her. It felt wonderful, and why would I dare stop such a great thing. But it did feel weird that she was being more of the dominant one. even though she was taller than me, it was her whole presence and demeanor showing that she wants to protect me from whatever it is.

After about a good hour of dancing and going crazy, i started to feel myself start to actaully let go of myself. And Harribel too. I coud care less what time I promised Yoruichi that I would be home, or even care or think about Yoruichi at all. Just looking into Harribel's glowing green eyes made everything disappear.

Suddenly Harribel leaned next to my face. "close your eyes." she said as the music blared and I happily complied not caring what was going to happen. And I had no regrets for what I let her do. The next thing I know, i feel very soft lips against mine. they were soft and light at first. once I welcomed it, the kiss deepened and become more rough. Harribel grabbed my face as I her hips hearing the music drain out and only could concentrate on the places she touched, and the taste. she tasted like alcohol and redbull, but hey, so did I. Her tongue brushed against my teeth wanting in, and I had no problem welcoming her in. her tongue and body took control of mine, something that has never hapened to me before, at least not where I allowed it. I felt so safe with her, and I didn't want this night to ever end. I just wanted to melt away with Harribel, together. Forever.
