I slowly start to gain conscious and realize that I was lying in a bed. I thought about how I got to my own place and even made it to my bed. i went to move but then realized that I had a pair of arms wrapped around me. I smiled thinking about how Yoruichi and I have forgiven one another and she finally came around to embracing me. I felt the arms tighten around me and a the body brush up against my body. I smiled then once I took a deep sniff of her, I realized it wasn't Yoruichi's scent. It smelt of oceans and forest. I only knew one person with that sort of scent, and I froze when I opened my eyes. I wasn't in my room. I was in Harribel's place, in her room, in her arms. I had to look down to make sure and thankfully I was clothed.
Then Harribel moved behind me letting go of me and got out of bed. I closed my eyes pretending to be asleep. Harribel rubbing my shoulder gently before leaving the room. after about 4 minutes, I started to hear some people talking and some sizzling from a seperate room. I pulled the white sheets off of me and looked down to see myself in Pajamas that I do not own. I was in a big Red tanktop and some big blue boxer shorts. I looked around to see my clothes nowhere in sight. I felt my that my braids were gone and my hair just flowed down my back. I then suddnely started to think what really happened last night. How the fuck did I get here? and if we did anything.
I got up remembering my foot and hand were still wounded and bandaged up. I took a deep breath before I opened the door to lead out of the room. I opened the door finally and saw 4 figures around what looked like a living room and kitchen. Harribel was standing by the stove cooking whatever, and two girls laying on a large couch watching TV and a smaller girl standing near Harribel in the kitchen.
The two closest to me in the living room looked up at me shocked. "damn Harribel, she is such a shortie." said with short blue hair and both her eyes were different colors, one red and one blue. she was wearing a small light blue tank top and short green shorts.
Harribel turned around from her cooking and she was surprised to see me. "oh, your awake!" she said as I noticed that she had on a different turtleneck, it was black. I thought about last night and us kissing, her mouth was against mine, i felt her tongue. So she must've taken it off or somehow unzipped it and I wasnt able to see her face which then sadden me inside. "go ahead and sit next to Mila and Emilou." I starred at the two girls on the couch, one girl with dark skin and dark brown hair made scooted over to the edge of the couch so there was a empty space between the two girls. the girl patted on the space between them and i hesitantly sat down.
I felt very uncomfortable, but, i knew they wouldn't hurt me or anything. "hey im Mila," said the dark brown haired girl smiling. she had some muscle to her, but she seemed very young, maybe in her teens. "and that is my sister Emilou." she pointed to the blue hair girl. "and that is Sun-Sun." she pointed to the girl standing next to Harribel. I noticed the girl had long black hair and she wore a long robe with her long sleeves covering her hands and one of her sleeves was over her mouth covering it. It was seemed to be glued there. She seemed very similar to Harribel for some reason.
"You must be very special if Harribel brought you home." Mila smiled looking at me as i looked up at the TV as it showed the news.
"so what did you do to Harribel?" asked the Emilou who was now looking at me giving me a look.
"what I did?" i asked myself and Harribel called to us.
"cmon! breakfast is ready." Harribel called and Mila motioned me to go first and I looked over to see in the corner of the kitchen to be a big table with plates and food. Mila showed me my seat at the end of the table. I felt so weird being in this house with these people. I didn't know whether to stay or leave. Mila and Emilou grabbed their plates and left to a separate room and Sun Sun followed behind them with her plate. Leaving Harribel and me all alone. Harribel grabbed our plates and filled them with eggs bacon and some toast. She sat next to me encouraging me to eat.
I wanted to deny it, by my stomach yearned for it. and of course not to my surprise, I had no hangover or headache from last night. of course that is what happens when I have had so much experience of my terrible drinking. I took a bite of my eggs and looked up at Harribel worried about what happened last night. I placed down my fork.
"i need to know." i whispered looking at my plate and not at the beautiful woman sitting next to me. "did we do it last night?" i whispered scared not remembering anything also embarrassed.
she sighed looking away. "actually no. I decided to take you home because you were drunk and wouldn't tell me where you lived. When we were in my bed we were going very fast very intimate. but just as I was taking off your shirt, you said a few things to me that pretty much sobered me up." she said acting like she was guilty.
"what did I say?" i asked worried to have offend her.
"don't worry, you didn't affend me." her eyes became soft. "you were on my bed laying as I hovering over you lifting up your shirt. you grabbed my hands gently and looked into my eyes. you told me that sex is not what defines a relationship, a relationship defines a relationship. and that you dont wish to know me by the kind of sex we have, but the kind of connection we have. right after that you passed out. and i felt bad and changed your clothes, which are by the front door." she pointed to her door looking at me very serious.
It was hard to process what she was saying. i don't know how i was able to say those thing drunk, when i cant think that clearly when sober. But then I was happy because I would always want to tell someone i care about that. I then felt embarrassed that she saw my naked body when she changed me. she probably saw the scars that marked my body with the creature i despised and shall kill one day, also some from my self hate.
"so nothing happened, that is good." I nodded taking another bite and Harribel nodded too.
"Umm, i should let you know that your phone was going off alot this morning, I answered it once and i pretty much was called a whore and threatened to be killed." she said laughing. i don't know if she laughed at what happened to her, or me slamming my head next to my plate onto the table hard. that fucking Yoruichi is on my list. its like she is going backwards into an endless pit of death.
"that is my ex I told you about last night." i said ashamed murmuring into the table.
"oh, the one who you broke up with last night?" she laughed again figuring it all out. "thats why then." I looked up to see her laugh while she was sober, it was actually a very pleasant sight.
"is it ok if I call her?" i asked and she got up disappeared and retrieved my phone from the counter in the kitchen. I opened the phone to see 20 missed calls and messages. i sighed calling her not bothering to hear her stupid messages. I knew I was in trouble for not coming home last night, but this was insane.
I dialed the number, and on the third rang she answered. "you fucking little whore!" she shouted of course letting Harribel hear the shouts from the phone, she excused herself to give me some privacy that I didn't want as she took her food and disappeared.
Amazingly, I wasn't fazed by the comment. "wow, no "happy to know your alive Soi?" wow. I feel the love Yoruichi." I mused and she didn't like it. I didn't care though.
"love? you know nothing of the word. I have loved you for more than four years and you go and cheat on me! you can go fuck yourself and your little whore!"
"if that is what you think, then i expect you to move out of my apartment by tonight. get your shit out of my apartment that I pay Yoruichi, and dont think i wont call the cops and kick you and your shit out." i hissed and Yoruichi tried to go soft.
"cmon little bee! we can get through this, there is no need for haste decisions. just come home so we can-"
"no Yoruichi!" i shouted interrupting her. "get the fuck out of my apartment. and if you are not out of there by tonight, you will be forced out by the cops." i hissed and she then was angry.
"your so fucking childish Soi!" she yelled.
"and your so fucking pathetic!" I shouted back hanging up the phone. I immediately called up Hisagi.
on the first ring he answered. "Yo Soi your alive!" i wish I heard that earlier from a certain someone. at least I know who truely cares.
"yea sorry, i will explain later. but can you come and pick me up?" i asked as i got up walking over to the counter to find some mail. i flipped through it to finally find an address. I told Hisagi the address.
"sure thing Soi. I will be there in a few minutes, that isnt too far from my house."
"thank you so much Hisagi." i said hanging up and Sun-Sun came out of a room walking over to my clothes and brought them over to me. she looked innocent and shy. she walked up to me looking away.
"im sorry i overheard. these are yours." she said in a small little voice.
i nodded taking them from her. "thank you and its ok." i smiled and she looked up at me still covering her mouth. i smiled then realized that this young girl was just an inch taller than me which made me feel weak.
Harribel then came out from a room looking at me questionably. "im sorry but I have to go and take care of some personal issues. Thank you so much for breakfast." i said started to back away to the door.
Harribel was confused. "um ok, yea no problem. everything alright?"
"oh yea, no need to worry. umm, I will see you around. thank you very much for last night." i smiled quickly walking out of the apartment. once i got into the elevator, i then realized that it was a huge building that must've been very expensive. but once i got outside I saw Hisagi just arriving in his old black corvette. i opened the door and hopped in putting my clothes int he backseat as he drove on.
"You look pretty." he commented and I looked down to Harribel's clothes "so you had fun last night?"
I sighed sitting back into the seat. "shut up Hisagi."
"hey! I am the one who is picking you up. I deserve answers." he fought back and easily won.
"I actually had so much fun last night, but we didn't do anything if thats what you mean. we just danced, talk and I was so bad that she took me home." i smiled pulling out some wrap and rings for my braids and started fixing my braids.
"I see, so will you see her again?"
i paused thinking about the question. I actually feel very bad for leaving her. I want to go back so badly but know that I can't. "I really want to." i smiled.
"then I hope everything goes well!" he said patting my knee and I looked over at him confused.
"you are ok with what I am doing to Yoruichi?" I asked not sure what is going through his mind.
"your so happy Soi, I can see it in your eyes, in your real smile. It's like I got my old Soi back." he actually smiled. I thought about what he said. before Yoruichi came along, I dealt with my family's death. But before when I was younger, I was actually happy and Hisagi and I were such great friends. He has been with me through everything, of course he would know the different sides of me, like i know the different sides of him.
"thank you Hisagi." I whispered looking out the window
"But Yoruichi is very pissed. She called me Isane pretty much all night and when we went to the bar around 3 you werent there and wouldnt answer you phone. sure Yoruichi was worried them pissed. But i know exactly where my little Soi was." He actuallt smiled being proud that he knew things that no one else did. "but you know, it's odd how Yoruichi wasn't worried like Isane was, but she was pissed. she automatically assumed that you would do something like that. I knew that even after Yoruichi treated you like shit, you still have heart in there." he started to get a little pissed himself.
"Yoruichi is so self centered and she things what she does to you is ok when it by far from ok!" he started to hit the wheel but still driving safely, for now.
"Hisagi," I reached over grabbing his hand on the wheel as we slowed down in front of my place. "calm down. Actually, I had told her on the phone to move out by tonight, and I want you to come in with me to help be my backbone." i gave him a week smile and he turned off his car grabbing his cellphone out of his pant pocket.
"yea, but i am going to call Isane just to tell her that you are safe and to come over." i nodded wanting her to come over. after just a few minutes Hisagi was done talking to Isane and we went I opened the door I stopped and looked at him.
"listen, she is probably going to hug me give us some fake tears and ask you to leave. I want you to leave but stay right by the door. you will know when to come in." he nodded as I opened up my door to find Yoruichi sitting on the couch. but once I opened the door she noticed me and Hisagi standing and jumped up and walked over to me hugging me very tightly. it was a fake hug with fake cries like I assumed would happen and I just stood there.
she broke the hug and smiled at Hisagi wiping away her fake tears. "thank you Hisagi, you can go home." Hisagi nodded patting my shoulder and left without a word. once the door closed Yoruichi did something I never thought she would do. she slapped me across the face. i felt the left side of my cheek and felt a small sting. dropping my clothes I looked up at her to see anger in her eyes.
"how dare you." she hissed was getting closer as I was soon backed up against the door. "how dare you cheat on me." she was very pathetic. "you even wear the other person's clothes." she grabbed my shirt tugging on it. "knowing you, it's probably with a man." then I had enough
"you really need to stop being so pathetic Yoruichi, it makes you look very ugly. So ugly, that I can't even imagine how I ever fell in love with you!" i shouted pushing her away from me and she just stumbled back two steps. She ran after me trying to punch kick slap me but I easily dodged her attacks and very quickly she was already running out of steam. And finally I was fed up, I grabbed her fist and slipped my leg behind her ankles making her fall flat on her ass. she sighed lying on the floor.
"no listen. Get your things together and get out of my place, and don't come back. you have treated me like shit for so long, and I just go out one night and don't come home at the time like I promised and you automatically assume that I am cheating on you instead of worrying about me. I have put you first for so many years, and you always treated me like a child and never gave me anything. So please, make this easy on the both of us and just get your shit, and leave. I will help you if you need me to. just get the fuck out of my house because we are over Yoruichi." And with that she went into my room as I peeped my head in the doorway watching her get her suitcase packing away all her clothes. she grabbed all her toiletries clothes, and a few objects of her around the place and she just left. no goodbye no eye contact, no nothing. she just left. As I looked out to the hallway of my apartment I noticed Hisagi wasnt anywhere to be seen. I walked out and felt a hand touch my shoulder. I grabbed the hand twisting it turning around to be behind the figure with their hand behind their back. But I then noticed it was Just Hisagi who was hiding behind my door.
I smiled letting him go escorting him into my home. "looks like she got you." he said grabbing frozen peas from my freezer placing it on my left cheek.
"could've been worse." i smiled actually thankful it wasn't worse.
Well look at that, Soi kicked Yoruichi out. NO WAY DUDE! Don't worry, things will get more interesting next chapter...SO PREPARE FOR THE WORSE! cuz it may just happen... o.O BWAHAHAHAHHAHAA!
