Fandom: BLEACH
Pairing: Yoruichi/Soi Fon
Theme set: Epsilon
Rating: Umm… I'm guessing R, for sexual situations ^^
#01 - Motion
Even though the day had been exhausting both mentally and physically, first having to meet with the bullheaded delegates, then spending the afternoon supervising - and partaking in - the training exercises; when Yoruichi detected from the shadows a slight movement of a body watchfully following her, and saw Soi Fon's exquisitely beautiful profile catch a beam of moon light, all the frustration, as well as her sore muscles, seemed to simply evaporate from her mind.
#02 - Cool
No one could ever even hope to achieve the aggressive grace of her sai'ai, Soi Fon smirked to herself, as she watched Yoruichi delightedly teach a lesson in agility to a group of five of their best men.
#03 - Young
A sleeping Soi Fon, looking deceivingly child-like considering the weapon Yoruichi knew to be clutched in her fist, was always the one that made Yoruichi doubt the most whether her feelings could last - like hers would.
#04 - Last
Soi Fon had just about reached a state of utter panic when she thought to check the kitchens, and found her wayward princess snoring under the table, a bottle of sake tightly held in her fist.
#05 - Wrong
Planting a sloppy kiss to Soi Fon's forehead amidst her laughter-induced hiccups was all Yoruichi could do, watching Soi Fon's adorable confusion upon waking up in a bed that wasn't hers.
#06 - Gentle
A raspy intake of breath was the only sign of Yoruichi's discomfort, but it made Soi Fon bite her lip in distress as she continued trying to wrap the wound without bringing any more pain.
#07 - One
Sometimes Soi Fon wondered how having such a small piece of her lover inside of her could make her so strongly feel Yoruichi's very soul absorbed into her own.
#08 - Thousand
The future was infinite, countless sunsets were nothing more than time's trivial exercise in beauty; she knew they'd be always together.
#09 - King
Nights when Yoruichi was restless, and stubborn about not going to bed, Soi Fon told her magical stories of other times and places, and with her silky voice tricked her princess to sleep.
#10 - Learn
As Soi Fon trailed her fingers down Yoruichi's bare stomach, making her tremble and throw her head back, she could only think of how the pupil had surpassed the teacher with flying colors.
#11 - Blur
The rain and the blood obstructed Yoruichi's vision but the fight was finally over, and Soi Fon, bruised and certainly aching herself, was still there to lean onto, guiding her back.
#12 - Wait
A hundred years was enough time for anyone to lose the last vestiges of their soul, until someone forcefully made them reach for the shards again.
#13 - Change
Tackling Yoruichi to the bed, Soi Fon took control for the first time, and despite her trepidation it ended up being just as incredible as everything else they'd experienced with each other.
#14 - Command
Her eyes cold, her rigid stance one of assumed superiority, Yoruichi told Soi Fon to fall back.
#15 - Hold
Some nights, snuggling up together was enough to heal every hurt; sometimes all it brought was more strained silence and persistent insecurity.
#16 - Need
The air in the room was dripping, heavy and slow with two sets of gasps and hoarse mewls, almost sparking in the denseness of energy and hunger.
#17 - Vision
Soi Fon would never forget the first time she saw Yoruichi: outwardly looking unearthily beautiful and serene while her eyes only showed an all-encompassing fire.
#18 - Attention
Those who every day waited on Yoruichi hand and foot, never seemed to get the barbs she was cheekily spewing at them at all hours; and Soi Fon alone seemed to sense the banter was generally meant to veil her bitterness at the imposed company of her lackeys.
#19 - Soul
They had used to reflect on their existence in the Soul Society - playfully debating, throwing out silly guesses - but after she disappeared, the only theory Soi Fon could make herself believe was that they were truly empty.
#20 - Picture
For years and years, Soi Fon used to wake up still seeing Yoruichi's inviting eyes, or her I-know-something-you-don't smirk, or her limber figure; long enough for the feelings they invoked in her to transform from yearning to hateful bitterness.
#21 - Fool
Only Yoruichi could get her to have a stomachache from laughing too hard, Soi Fon decided once again, as she watched her princess pull the chair back just enough for the man to miss it, then berate him for his clumsiness.
#22 - Mad
Soi Fon panicked, realizing she had for the first time outright yelled at Yoruichi, whose snickers at her stricken expression luckily ended the fight before it had properly begun.
#23 - Child
Soi Fon's face was always so full of trust when she looked at her, and it scared Yoruichi out of her wits almost as often as it made her sick with guilt.
#24 - Now
Crossing swords with Yoruichi, the steel clanging like a melody and their heavy breathing a build-up for the next exercise, was everything Soi Fon's world could right then take without bursting.
#25 - Shadow
Only in complete darkness and silence, skin merged to lighter skin, was Yoruichi able to forget that it could never work.
#26 - Goodbye
Contrary to what Soi Fon might've thought, Yoruichi never regretted not having said the word - it would've implied things she didn't want to convey even with her absence.
#27 - Hide
The Hollow had detected Yoruichi's scent, as predictable, going after her right on schedule; and when its enormous body made Soi Fon lost sight of her - before she forced herself to calm down and swing down her katana - her fear for Yoruichi, like an actual pain in its intensity, made her for one frantic second wish she'd never known her.
#28 - Fortune
Yoruichi didn't like people eating in bed, hated how it rendered the sheets a battlefield of crumbs and frequently, something sticky too - but when she spotted Soi Fon steal an uneasy glance at her while nibbling on a cookie, she could only snicker and wave it okay.
#29 - Safe
The world of politics was full of assassinations, conspiracies and plain ordinary back stabbing, but Yoruichi felt completely reassured by the pair of two vigilant eyes constantly poring into her back.
#30 - Ghost
Nightmares were a given, and she mostly could banish the memory of their coldness with the help of strength lent to her by Soi Fon, but Yoruichi still couldn't help hoping she could just forget; just this one time.
#31 - Book
No matter how hard and how often she tried, Soi Fon could not persuade Yoruichi to read about "the borin' things everyone wants me ta fill m' head with" so they compromised: Yoruichi could doze all she wanted with her head pillowed in Soi Fon's lap, as long as she promised she may be swatted conscious to listen up when the important stuff came.
#32 - Eye
Despite old sayings, Soi Fon never saw more than Yoruichi let her see; and it was a drift between them more severe than any caused by their verbal fights.
#33 - Never
With her unforgivable act, she had made Soi Fon lost all faith in eternity, and in whispered pledges; and in love.
#34 - Sing
Soi Fon was baffled when she accidentally found out about Yoruichi's secret talent, and had to coax and cajole a long, long time before she got over her embarrassment enough to let her hear more.
#35 - Sudden
Before getting to know Yoruichi, the whirlwind extraordinaire, Soi Fon thought with a groan, she had never really known the meaning of the word energetic.
#36 - Stop
In the beginning, Yoruichi's striking presence in a six feet radius of her had been enough to practically incapacitate her, and Soi Fon was half amused, half mortified realizing she still held the power to do that.
#37 - Time
Everything in Soi Fon's life seemed to have been dished out with giant serving spoons: infatuation, obsession, grief - and the amount of waiting.
#38 - Wash
In their world, girls didn't cry if they wanted to be taken seriously, and even then they mostly lost to old conventions and sheer blindness; fortunately there were worse things than bowing your head just in the presence of someone you trusted.
#39 - Torn
Soi Fon knew he wasn't sufficiently worried about the nasty cut Yoruichi had acquired dashing through the thick bush, but the dark-pale shoulder exposed by the rip in her clothes all but mesmerized her.
#40 - History
No matter whether she was looking far backwards or into the unknown future, the glittering stars she saw decorating her soul road were, and undoubtedly would be, the occasions that Yoruichi was somehow involved in.
#41 - Power
No one was perfect, and at crucial times Yoruichi became sure she had already made more than her fair share of grave mistakes and couldn't take the thought of having made one more, but one look at Soi Fon, calm and composed, brought her enough self-control to be able to take that one deep breath and concentrate on tackling pretty much anything.
#42 - Bother
Soi Fon was worried for the servant and scolded Yoruichi for choosing such a hard object to hurl at him, but received only low growls and something about the guy learning to not come barging in when she had company, no matter how vital the message.
#43 - God
"And here I thought ya weren't a believer," Yoruichi smirked at Soi Fon as she collapsed in a sweaty pile beside her, and got to see a particularly bright full-body flush as the girl recalled how very loud she had been professing her new-found faith just moments ago.
#44 - Wall
It was merely painful to realize the distance between them could never grow greater than the space of one touch.
#45 - Naked
Anyone could tell Yoruichi was embarrassingly free of any body-shy-ness, though there were also times Soi Fon reckoned it was a very good thing indeed - like when she found her lying on the bed covers, telling her she wanted to commence a private 3-hour training exercise.
#46 - Drive
Grimy and beat didn't even begin to describe their state after that particular meeting with the Annual Bastard Reunion, and even though Soi Fon wanted to stay grumpy she couldn't help but be amused by Yoruichi's insistence on spending the long hike back going over the highlights of the battle with overly loud exclamations and a number of exaggerated winks and high-fives.
#47 - Harm
It was astonishing how Yoruichi brushed off having her throat just about slashed or her limbs broken, yet came looking for Soi Fon's sympathy because of a paper-cut; not that she didn't willingly indulge her.
#48 - Precious
At some point then, Soi Fon simply regretted not having made better use of the time they had had, until, reminding herself of who was finally at fault, she made up her mind to forsake the torture of giving a shit.
#49 - Hunger
Too many wishes contradicting one another could make anyone cave in, but when Yoruichi was about to lose it her only focus became Soi Fon, and giving into one desire, for it could make the others back down - for a while.
#50 - Believe
Love didn't disintegrate with hate, only with apathy; and in the face of the inevitable, Yoruichi had to trust it enough to know it wouldn't disintegrate with time either.
