Yay you are reading my first story! I do not own Bleach, clearly, because if I did, I would have far more money than I would now lol. First try at writing a story. Rated M for upcoming lemons and language. Yourichi x Soi Fon, with a dom/sub vibe or at least I think it does so far. PLEASE read and review, your opinions matter...as long it is not pointless nonsense and you have at least half a brain. Arigato!

Chapter 1

"Tell me why. Help me understand. Why didn't you take me with you? I would have gone anywhere with you. Yourichi-sama…" Soi Fon collapsed in front of Yourichi, sobbing. Yourichi just stood in front of her…frozen. She had never seen Soi Fon display so much emotion. After what seemed like forever, the sobbing subsided. Yourichi looked down to see Soi Fon's tear-stained face, eyelids now closed as she had cried herself into exhaustion. Yourichi's heart sank. "What has this last 100 years done to you my little broken bee?" Yourichi thought to herself. She bent down and gently picked up Soi Fon, cradling her body. Yourichi pulled the girl close to her chest and flash stepped back to her room.

Yourichi lazily opened her eyes, waiting to see a sleeping Soi Fon wrapped in her arms. But to her surprise, the only thing beside her was the faint imprint of where her little bee had been curled up beside her minutes, or hours, before. Yourichi began to sit up, but quickly realized her movement was restrained. She looked up to find her wrists bound and wrapped around a piece of her headboard. Yourichi strained to see that no rope bound her, but instead a powerful kidou had been cast upon her. As she tried to piece together her current predicament, she heard a voice come from her doorway. "It's no use, Yourichi…you cannot break that binding kidou in your current state or position." Yourichi strained to see who lurked amongst the shadows in her room, but couldn't see them. "That voice," thought Yourichi, "it kind of sounded like…"

"Soi Fon!" Yourichi exclaimed. "What is this foolishness? Untie me at once!" Soi Fon gently strode toward the edge of the bed. "This isn't like you, Yourichi…losing your cool over a silly little prank" Soi Fon replied, placing her hand on the bed post. "Yourichi? Never has she dropped the honorifics before, even when I commanded her to" Yourichi thought. Something wasn't right… "Well played my little bee, now kindly release my hands. I would very much like to eat breakfast." Soi Fon didn't budge with the exception of a slight smirk forming on her lips. Yourichi looked up, confused. A slight twinge of panic swept over her. "Soi Fon. Soi FON!" she yelled, but again, to no avail. "SHAOLIN FON!" Yourichi yelled. Before the end of her name passed Yourichi's lips, Soi Fon was straddled on top of her with her steely gray eyes brimming with rage. "Do not ever, EVER call me by my slave name. I am not the same as I was then, pathetic and weak. I'm not going to blindly bend to your every whim any more, Yourichi. Not to mention, I don't think you have fully grasped the dynamics of this current situation" Soi Fon snapped back. Yourichi's jaw dropped open in surprise and she felt her heart begin to pound. "What is this feeling?" Yourichi thought. "Gomenasai, Soi Fon," Yourichi apologized, her eyes still trying to dodge the daggers Soi Fon's gaze was launching towards her. "For what, Yourichi? Using my slave name? Watching me sob uncontrollably at your feet? Abandoning me for 100 years without saying a word? Or for being too pompous and self-involved to realize what I was feeling?" Yourichi stared back at her in a state of shock. Emotions flooded her mind. She, for the first time, saw clearly the pain, anguish, and suffering her leaving had burdened Soi Fon with. "Soi…I'm so…"

"Save it Yourichi. You still are ignorant to the feelings I endure. 100 years has passed, leaving me with nothing but time and isolation to think about what I would do when you returned…if you returned. But since my words fall on deaf ears and you always turn a blind eye, I am going to show you what I mean, Yourichi."

Soi Fon lowered her face until there wasn't more than an inch separating their noses. Her eyes locked onto the dilated golden orbs in front of her. There was nothing she could say to express these pent up emotions she stifled for long before the 100 years she spent alone. She was just a child in Yourichi's eyes…now Soi Fon needed her to see her as a woman. She needed to have the emotions she had hid for so long realized, validated, and reciprocated…even if that meant she had to take them.

"Soi, I can't imagine what you've felt these last 100 years, but please undo this kidou. My arms are starting to fall asleep. Then we can sit down and have a serious talk about this," Yourichi said, her gaze finally meeting Soi Fon's. "Serious?" Soi Fon exclaimed, "Sting all enemies to death, Suzemabachi." With that, a long stinger appeared at the end of Soi Fon's middle finger. A flower like mark appeared on Yourichi's left temple and stretched over her left eye. Yourichi felt a single drop of blood trickle down her face. Her eyes widened, realizing what had just happened. "I AM serious, You-ri-chi…" Soi Fon quietly replied back, taunting her former master.

...and the suspense builds! Next chapter starts the lemony content. Please review!
