Soi rolled her shoulders uncomfortably as she walked into her bathroom. 'And they say morning stretches make it so you won't cramp up. My shoulders are killing me.'

She made sure the water in her bath was very very hot. It would loosen her muscles and keep away the cold. Seeing as it was winter in soul society.

Soi sighed as she sat in the over heated waters. Her mind drifted and she spaced herself away from the 'reality' of her surroundings.

'It's been almost a month since Aizen and we're still trying to rebuild…what next?' Soi sighed again as she rubbed her shoulders.

She didn't look up as the door opened. Yoruichi walked in quietly. "How's the water?"

"Hot."

"Why thank you, I didn't know you thought that about me."

Soi gave her a warning glance but smiled. Yoruichi stripped and slipped behind Soi, the captain moved forward to give her room.

"Tense aren't you?" Yoruichi's hands slipped to Soi's shoulders and felt the knotted muscles there. Soi hissed in pain. "Sorry." Yoruichi muttered. "But we gotta get these out." She pressed the heels of her hands in and began to move out towards the arms in circular motions.

Soi tried to keep her muscles loose to make it easier but it hurt. She could feel the knots coming out, the water was helping too.

"You need to stop stressing yourself so much." Yoruichi muttered as she pressed in deeper.

"That's a bit hard to do."

"Clearly."

There was a long silence before Soi remembered something Yoruichi had never answered. "You know…"

"Hmm?"

"You never answered me."

"What?"

"Why?"

Yoruichi stopped her massage. She knew what Soi was talking about.

"Answer me." Soi insisted. "Why didn't you take me with you, answer me." She turned and stared at the ebony woman.

"I…"

"You what? All you had to do was ask. I would have gone with you."

"I know. I knew you would have. That's why I left you here."

"That doesn't" Yoruichi leaned in and cut her off. "I knew you would follow me without thinking…I left you here because I wanted you to think for yourself."

"I can."

"Yes, now you can. But you look me in the eye and tell me you did before."

Soi stared at her…but she stayed silent.

"See?"

Soi looked away. Yoruichi got to her knees and wrapped Soi in a tight hug. "If I had taken you with me you wouldn't be as strong as you are now. I know it hurt but technically speaking I did you a favor." Soi's arms wrapped around her former mentor's waist.

Soi huffed as she sat at her desk. She had long finished her paper work. Her feet were now propped up on her desk and she was staring out her open window. Which was soon filled by Yoruichi.

"Hey Soi, what cha up to?"

"Not a thing. I finished all my work. I'm not going to bother training those idiots today. That fat oaf can do it."

"Harsh."

"And?" Soi raised a brow at the goddess. Yoruichi laughed. "So what are you gunna do?"

"Nothing." Soi answered as she leaned back and closed her eyes. "I've been waiting to do nothing for decades."

She opened her eyes when she felt much added weight fall onto her lap. Yoruichi was leaning over her. Her feet dropped from the desk as she swiveled her chair to face it's counterpart; the desk. "…What are you doing?"

"Staring at you."

"Why?"

"Cause I feel like it."

"…"

"…"

"…Stop."

"Don't wanna."

Soi pressed at Yoruichi's stummy (yes I call it a stummy, and no it is not a typo). "Stop it."

"Nope." Yoruichi pressed back.

Soi pressed harder and Yoruichi pressed back and didn't budge an inch off Soi's lap. "Fine." Soi huffed and stopped trying. Yoruichi was now almost fully on top of her.

Soi tried to press herself back into the seat even more to try and make herself less uncomfortable. …It didn't work. "Can you stop staring?" She mumbled.

"Hmm? I couldn't hear you. What did you say little bee?"

"Stop staring."

Yoruichi managed to press herself even more into Soi. She wrapped her arms around Soi's neck and moved to press herself into the captains right side. "What the hell are you trying to do?" Soi asked…she noted she could hear Yoruichi's heartbeat.

"Nothing." Yoruichi replied innocently. "Then get off me." Soi growled. Yoruichi chuckled. "Growling now are we?" She moved back and sat on Soi's desk. The captain blushed and looked away. "Close your legs." She muttered.

Yoruichi leaned forward. "What was that?" Soi blushed a fiery red. "Close you damn legs!" Yoruichi laughed. "Little bee I'm shocked you'd use such language. And besides you know you want them open anyways." She reached out and turned the captains head towards her. "Don't you?"

Yoruichi yelped in surprise as she was tackled onto the desk. Soi pinned her arms and went to Yoruichi's throat first. The goddess chuckled as she realized the doors to the office were wide open. "Soi.."

"…What?" Soi stopped at Yoruichi's shoulder and looked up. "The door is open." Yoruichi stated. Soi stared at the door for a moment before going back to nipping Yoruichi's collar bone.

"People are gunna see us…" Yoruichi muttered. "I don't care." Soi mumbled moving up and pressing her lips hard against Yoruichi's, who laughed into it.

Yoruichi woke up on Soi's bed the next day. She sat up and looked around. There were only scraps of her clothing left on and the room was a wreck. 'Damn…' Soi walked in just then.

"Finally awake." Soi noted. "How long was I out?" "About a day and a half."

Yoruichi gave a Cheshire cat grin. "Didn't think you were that good." Soi raised a brow at her. "There's a lot I can do that you don't know about."

Yoruichi sat up and crawled to the edge of the bed. "Care to share?" Soi smirked. "I do. You'll just have to wait." Yoruichi pouted and sat back. "Unfair." "Not really. I'm doing you a favor. You can't even walk right now." "Can so!" "Come over here then."

She tried and fell before she could take a step. Yoruichi blushed. Soi's smirk widened. "Told you." The goddess' blush vanished as she gave a feral grin. "You're better than I though. How'd you do it?" "Wouldn't you like to know." Soi turned and walked back out.

Yoruichi pouted. "Unfair!" "Not caring!" Soi shouted back. The goddess huffed and looked back up at the bed. She noted the sheets were torn and there appeared to be small blood stains in an X. She looked at her nails. There was dry blood on them. "Oh she is good." She whispered to herself.
