A/N: Hello hello! I've had this idea in my mind for a while now and only recently have I put it down pen to paper or more exactly, hand to keyboard. I mean for this to be a multi-chapter fic but I am usually slower than a snail(they have feeler things. They can type.) when it comes to updating things but I'll try to get faster. I swear.
It is an AU sort of fic... Or AT? Anyways it's set after the Karakura High people have graduated college and there's a sort of peace hanging in the Soul Society.
There were not many things that could scare a Soul Society captain, much less for the young Chinese girl that heads the Second division and the Ommitsukido. However, 'twas this fine morning that she found the one thing that terrified her, that only appeared in the darkest depths of her dreams had become reality.
It happened.
The day started quite well, morning training went swimmingly, nobody lazed around like an idiotic lump. Suifeng had to admit, this was a first for her. It didn't even seem like the corp needed her. So, after leaving them in the incapable hands of her second in command, she went back to her quarters.
A neat stack of letters stood in the center of her desk begging to be read. She took a seat behind it and went to work sorting it out. Junk, love letters(yes it was something she'd get... Apparently enlisted men had masochistic tendencies.) and... Suifeng frowned. She held a letter addressed to her from somewhere, Karakura town. She couldn't ever remember going there. Unless... Yoruichi. Gently she tore open the side of the envelope, and extracted the folded paper. Written on fancy letterhead, she slowly unfolded it and read the boldfaced sentence.
"You are cordially invited to the wedding of Yoruichi Shihouin and Urahara Kisuke."
That line was enough. Her hand shook and the piece of paper fell from her hand. No. No. NO! It wasn't possible. It shouldn't be possible... Yet... There it was plain as day written in a disgustingly over the top font. She placed her hand over her forehead, she could feel a headache coming... and then up became down, right turned into left and the blurred surroundings soon swirled around her with such celerity that it had her staggering around the room before falling into a crumpled heap in a corner of the room as far as possible from the letter. There was no way she would go. If just reading a sentence of it was so painful... She was no masochist. She hated whenever her heart ached. She hated it even more when Yoruichi teased her, stringing her along without ever wanting to return her feelings. However, Suifeng knew she would go. It didn't matter whether it hurt or not. To be next to her goddess, even if the same woman was piercing a thousand blades through her heart, was worth it. She would go, she would force herself to smile as they exchanged vows, slipped their rings onto their fingers and sealed the whole ceremony with a... with a... She couldn't finish the thought. She cannot accept it. It cannot happen... It cannot ha- and the little girl threw up. Groaning, she recoiled back, away from the misery, and huddled into herself. She sat in the corner sobbing, until Unohana had, by chance, found her there.
Tatsuki had just come back from the worst day of her life. How could Orihime have gotten married so suddenly? And why was she the last one told? Just one freaking day before the wedding and she had to prepare for everything. A gift... A suit?(Orihime wanted her to wear one) and why didn't Orihime come see her herself? Stupid fucking Ichigo. Groaning she pulled her tie off. Damn thing made her feel like she had her neck in a noose. And what about the rent for this place? Penthouses aren't cheap and just with her salary alone, forget about making monthly payments, she probably wouldn't even last a week in here. Stupid Ichigo taking her princess from her. Now who was she supposed to protect from the evils of the world? Chizuru? Please.
The spiky-haired girl slammed the door behind as she walked out into the streets. A trench coat tightly wrapped around her body shielding her against the cold of November. She was going to a bar, and the money she was saving up to buy an actual house to live in with Orihime? Now that that wasn't necessary... Beer money it was.
In a foul mood, the former karate champion kicked open the door and slammed her jars of coins down on the counter. "Give me as many drinks as this can buy." She growled daring the bartender to challenge her on the anomaly that is her payment.
"Ma'am. It would take us a long time to count this. Do you not have any bills?" Eliciting a growl from her. "Fine. It'll take a while then. Not sure when you'll get your drink." and then under his breath. "or ever." Tatsuki had turned around to glare at the other customers, still very much pissed. Today was definitely not a good day. She could call it, without lying, the worst day of her life.
When the bartender had finally finished counting her money, he brought her a couple of bottles. "Order whatever you'd like." He sighed walking away. While the spiky-haired girl was pouring her first shot, the door of the bar slammed open once again. This time showing the silhouette of a short Chinese girl. The Asian girl sat down on the bar stool and turned around to glare at the bartender. She called him over and slapped down a few thousand yens down on the counter. "I'm sorry miss, but we're sold out." He quickly replied looking extremely uncomfortable. How could there be two scary women showing up during his shift? What was the chance of that?
"Bullshit." She yelled slamming her fists down on the counter, he twitched expecting the girl to actually punch her but there was no such follow up. Her action however did have the unpredicted effect of knocking off Tatsuki's bottle of alcohol and causing it to smash into the ground. "I can see all those bottles behind you."
"Yes well. That lady over there just bought everything." He replied shrinking back from her as he pointed at Tatsuki.
Suifeng turned over to face her, only to find the girl smirking at her. "Apologize for spilling my drink" The spiky-haired girl said taking a shot . "I'll talk to you after that."
"I reject your proposal." Suifeng growled frowning as she glared at Tatsuki's smirking face. "Instead I'm going to force you to give me your drink." The woman growled standing up and slammed her fist down on the counter. The bartender behind it had ducked and was now crawling his way out the backdoor.
"You're going to regret your impudence." The spiky-haired girl said grinning as she took off her coat and chucked it behind her. "I'll show you just how strong I am."
"Heh. Challenge accepted."
Reviews would be lovely.
