Keeping Warm

Yoruichi Pov

Anyone who has had the 'luxury' of staying in an old university residency know that the heating and air conditioning is not exactly your best friend. For those of those who had the pleasure of getting one of the newer residencies this is what it was like. Though I'm sure you've heard the horror stories. When you expect a cool room to await you in summer, instead you are greeted by a sauna. In winter when all you want to do is get the cold out of your bones you step into refrigerated room. The day that my roommate Soi Feng and I slept together was on one of those cold winter days when our blasted vent was pushing out cold comfort.

The vent was closer to Soi's side of the room when we first moved in. Although it was our first time meeting one another we quickly decided that the current room arrangement would not suit us. Something about the furniture arrangement just screamed prison. We both got to moving our furniture. When we were done we had moved both our beds beside each other with a shelf giving about a meters distance away from each other. On the other side of the room was where our desks and fridges, as well as the dreaded vent.

We got along quite nicely, Soi and I. She was a sweet and Christian girl who had a strong sense of family. She always went to bible study without fail (To this day I haven't a clue what bible study is). Luckily she wasn't one to push her religion on others and was accepting of all people, that was a good thing cause I would have told her to fuck off. I on the other hand followed no particular religion and thought all religion was as nothing but a fantastic story book used to keep the people under control by instilling fear into them. I had enough of trying to be controlled by the Shihouin family. It was her fathers desire for her to stay out of res and stay in a properly furnished home where she could have any luxury she so desired. She just couldn't go out and make basically have fun and be a normal teenage girl. Well I answered that by flipping him the bird and applying for res. Something my new roommate found a bit offensive yet slightly amusing.

Soi was one of those people who didn't know she looked beautiful. Sure she seemed like a simple enough girl, but her petite figure sharp grey intelligent eyes that just seemed to go on forever. He hair was quiet unusual. It was cropped short everywhere but at two sections at the back. She braided those sections then adorned them with gold hoops. When I questioned her about her hair she said that her mother once did her hair like this and thought it was cute. She was very sick during that time and died shortly after. I was touched that she would tell me something personal as such. I had told her I lost my mother as well at a young age though it was because she was hit by a drunk driver. The driver survived but my father had made sure he would never live a comfortable life.

"What do you mean love a comfortable life?" Soi had questioned a bit confused

"Oh well, my family kind of does a bit of lawyering business so we sued him for everything he had" I replied easily.

"Oh"

Soi looked like that thought disturbed her a bit.

...

This story is going to be longer don't worry. Though I'm not sure it will stay up because it gets pretty explicit later on.

This was originally a different story with my own characters but I decided to change it and add it to the Yoru/Soi collection here. As such I'm going to be revamping the remaining chapters so they make a bit more sense but I suppose this will be an AU and OCish more than anything.

R&R please.

Constructive Criticism is always welcome

Until Next Time,
