PROLOGUE

'Soon...' Yoruichi thought. 'I will see her soon.' This thought made her smile, but the memory of a hundred years ago made her heart clench.

Flashback

Under the moonlight she made a promise. One she knew she couldn't keep at the time, but her heart committed none the less. She was to leave everything and everyone she'd ever known, ever loved, behind.

The material things didn't matter, but HER. She was different. She was...her everything. She couldn't just leave without seeing her one last time.

So she waited, close to the deadline when she knew she'd be asleep she visited her, knelt by her bedside and just stared at the beautiful sleeping face etching it into memory.

As if it had a mind of its own, her hand came up and caressed the petite girls cheek, stirring her slightly but thankfully not waking her. She leaned over and whispered her goodbye.

'If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together. There is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think, but the most important thing is even if we're apart I'll always be with you.'

As a tear slid down her cheek she laid a gentle kiss on the girls forehead and vanished into the darkness.

'Soon...' Yoruichi thought. 'I will see her soon.'

Chapter 1

"Why didn't you take me with you!"

She shook her head for what had to be the hundredth time trying to dispel the image from her mind. A distraught Soi Fong on her knees crying.

'It wasn't supposed to be like that,' the words, the fighting, the crying; but then again what should she have expected with the way she left things?

She walked under the moonlight the whole scene endlessly cascading through her mind.

'What have I done. The only person I ever...she hates me.'

Know that when I hate you, it is because I love you to a point of passion that unhinges my soul.

She didn't know where she remembered that line but she hoped beyond hope that it was true.

Looking up into the night sky she let out a sigh and closed her eyes. 'The moon, the stars, the cherry blossoms floating on the wind so much like all those years ago.'

That's when she felt it and her eyes snapped open. In an instant she was hidden, her reitsu masked.

'Soi Fong.'

There she stood in almost the same spot Yoruichi had been seconds before looking at the same stars in the sky.

Yoruichi looked on careful not to make a noise. Content with just watching the moonlight bathe the girls pearl skin illuminating it and giving her a heavenly glow.

'She's beautiful.'

Pacing her room, Soi didn't know what to think.

'After all this time she's come back.'

She needed some fresh air. She shunpo'd to the one spot that gave her peace, the clearing surrounded by cherry trees. It was beautiful. She came here often to clear her mind after a hard days work. Its been her special place ever since that night Yoruichi slept in her lap, not that she'd admit it though.

Looking to the moon, the days events played throughout her mind.

'How did this happen? I wasn't supposed to break down. I thought I was over this...over HER! For God sake I've got...'

She turned her head to the side sensing someone coming.

Yoruichi had finally gotten the courage she needed to approach Soi when she saw her turn her head and speak.

"What do you want, Kotetsu."

The silver-headed girl didn't answer, instead she just approached Soi from behind as she went back to gazing at the moon. Isane stopped when she was a few inches from the captain.

Yoruichi's eyes widened as Isane wrapped her arms around the petite captain's frame from behind drawing her in close against her body. To her surprise Soi just sighed softly and tilted her head back and rested it against the girls right shoulder. Isane resting her chin on Soi's left, eyes closed.

Yoruichi just stared at the two girls holding each other under the moonlight.

'What...what have I done? Have I lost her?...Am I to late?' As a tear slid down her cheek she vanished into the darkness.

AN: Yeah just kinda decided to put the prologue and the first chapter up together since neither was long. I do have another chapter ready and notes on another but this story will probably wrap up in those three. I just put this up as kind of a tester chapter to see if its even worth continuing, that is up to you guys!
