To those who have been reading and reviewing this story of mine I thank you. Especially zenshiki09, Assault Godzilla, Darkshadow-lord, Bad one and my friend D. Thank you for always leaving reviews! I hope this chapter meets your expectations.

--Second Squad captain's office--

"Taichou! I really don't mean to. Gomenasai! Hontouni sumimasen!! Taichou, please don't kill me. If I'm dead, there won't be anyone to inherit the family's business. The world would be short of a stunningly handsome guy with incredible genes."

"The world, my world, would be a better place without an incompetent, ugly, fat-assed, loud mouth who only talk the talk but couldn't walk the walk. Killing you would only make my life better."

"What about th- th- the clause??"

"Screw the clause. I'll just put it down as a freak accident."

She unsheathed her sword.

"Jinteki Syakusetsu, Suzumebachi!"

Oomadea promptly fainted. Whipping around, she struck out only to find her right hand stopped by a tan hand that was dripping with blood.

"Yoruichi-sama."

Her dull, monotone voice was soon replaced by one that is full of concern when she took in Yoruichi's appearance.

"Yoruichi!! What the hell happened to you?! Who did this to you?! I'll go there this instant and deal with them. How dare they! How dare they touch you and injure you!"

Soi Fong was working herself into a rage. How dare they hurt her! I'll make them pay. I'll make them pay dearly for every single scratch on my Yoruichi. My Yoruichi. Is she even mine anymore? Shouldn't Kuchiki taichou do something about it?! They injured his fiancée! If it was my fiancée, I would make them pay hell for this.

Yoruichi watched as Soi Fong worked herself into a rage. When the doubts of their relationship showed on her face, she walked up and wrapped her arms around the younger woman. Feeling the arms around her, Soi Fong calmed down significantly and leaned into the embrace instinctively, completely forgetting that just seconds ago she was ranting, in her head, about where she stand with Yoruichi.

"It was Byakuya" she breathed into Soi Fong's ears.

"Hmmm?" Soi Fong was distracted by the closeness of Yoruichi.

"WHAT?! IT'S HIM?!" she yelled and stiffened in the embrace when the information finally sunk in.

"ISN'T HE LIKE YOURFIANCÉ?! SHOULDN'T HE BE YOUR PROTECTOR AND NOT THE ONE THAT IS CUTTING YOU UP?!!"

"Geez Soi, chill out. My little bee, my ear is right next to your mouth did you realize that?" Yoruichi whispered into Soi Fong's ear.

Her eyes widened at that statement.

"I'm so sorry. I'm sorry I yelled. It's just that, how can he be the one doing this to you? He is your fiancé for god's sake. It's so unfair" she mumbled the last part.

"I went to him to ask why the whole world seems to think that we're getting married. Then I realized that that little dream I had two weeks ago wasn't actually a dream. It was reality. The council did say I was supposed to get married to Byakuya-yago. I can't believe they took my lack of reaction for consent! Stupid old geezers."

"So it's true? You are really getting married to him?" Kami-sama, I really hate you right now. You gave me Yoruichi-sama, my happiness, and took it away after a few short months. I need her to survive. How am I going to deal with the days ahead if she isn't by my side?

"HELL NO!"

Soi Fong jumped and Yoruichi hugged her tighter, a drop of blood splashed onto her forearm, staining the porcelain skin.

"Then how did you get this?"

Soi Fong reached out and gestured at the cuts that adorned Yoruichi's arms before caressing her face.

"Oh, this?"

Soi Fong nodded.

"I thought he was the cause of the broken look on your face yesterday morning. Well, actually, I don't know who caused it but he seemed the most likely so I went and tried to talk to him. But he keeps talking about me getting reacquainted with my paperwork while he sits there sipping his stupid tea. Then I saw red. Oh, no. I saw red when he tried to do paperwork when I'm trying to talk to him. So I used shunko on his desk and I think I blew up quite a big pile of paperwork. So he got mad, saw red and we fought."

"All that just because of that look on my face?"

"Well, yeah…" Yoruichi rubbed the back of her head sheepishly.

"Come here"

Soi Fong led her to a chair and made her sit down.

"Where are you going?"

"Stay put, I'll be back"

Noise could be heard coming from outside the room. Yoruichi was tempted to take a look but she realized she was too tired to do so. I never knew I was this tired until I sat down. The sound of footsteps made her look up and she saw Soi Fong carry a huge box. She opened the box and rummaged through it and found what she needed. Rubbing alcohol, cotton ball and bandage.

"This might sting a little"

Yoruichi smiled and waved it off.

"Ouch!" she yelped and yanked her hand away when Soi Fong dabbed at one of the deeper cuts.

"Told you it would sting. Come here"

She reached for Yoruichi's hand and blew at the cut. The cold air taking the sting away.

"Better?"

Yoruichi nodded. Once every cut was cleansed, Soi Fong took out the bandage and was about to bandage up the wounds when Yoruichi stopped her. She raised an eyebrow at that action.

"You know, if you're to bandage every single cut I have, I would look like a mummy walking around. Senbonsakura did live up to its name."

Soi Fong laughed at the mental image of a mummified Yoruichi.

"Okay, not every cut. Just the deeper ones"

"Then how am I going to change and all that?"

"I'll be there to help you with everything"

"Just to be sure, are you sure you won't regret not marrying him?"

"SOI! I love you. You are like the air that I breathe. I don't know if I could live without you. So, no. I'm not marrying Byakuya-yago!"

Yoruichi's deeper wounds opened at her very agitated proclamation of love and blood seeped through the bandages.

"Yoruichi! You just opened up your wound again."

Soi Fong's heart clenched at the sight of her lover's blood seeping through the bandages dyeing it red. She applied pressure onto the wound and change the bandages as soon as it stop bleeding.

"I was only joking. I know you would not marry him. If you would, you wouldn't blow his office up just because of a look on my face."

"Soi, I would never let that look cross your face again. Within my powers or not, I will not let it happen again. Do you know how much it pains me just to see that look on your face and think of the pain that you are going through?"

"Yoruichi…"

"We will deal with this together. I'll find Byakuya-yago and we will tell those old geezers that we are not marrying each other and they will just have to deal with it."

"But that might mean that you would no longer be the clan head anymore"

"I love my clan Soi, but I love you more. If I have to choose between being clan head and you, it isn't even a choice."

"Yoruichi…"

Soi Fong tipped toe and planted a chaste kiss on Yoruichi's lips which soon became anything but chaste. Just as things are getting heated up, Yoruichi winced as her side smashed into the wall.

"Let's go back"

Soi Fong nodded and they flash stepped back to her quarters hand in hand.

We will face it together. Nothing will make me leave you, not even the threat of being ban from this Soul Society can take you away from me.

Yoruichi tightened her grip on Soi Fong's hand.

AN: I had half of this written out while writing chapter 6. Had half the mid to combine them but I figured it would be too long. So I split them up. Yep. So please, read, review and enjoy! Till next time. =)
