Twilight Twist

With a calm smile and a fully relaxed attitude you enter your home, you voice calling out with the relief and joy you feel from being home after such a horribly hectic and utterly insane day, “I’m home!”

The response is instantaneous and you quickly find yourself held tightly by a rather possessive but happy Renji, “John-kun! You’re finally back!”

You chuckle a bit an return the hug, releasing Renji and turning to the rest of the girls with a saddened smile, “Yeah, I’m sorry it took so long…my division was in such a fucking state…and my ‘lieutenant’ was no help at all, she just spent the day yammering my ear off about Soul Society and my duties as a Taicho.”

“What do you mean Johnny-chan?” Rangiku asks, her voice mirrored by the collection of nods and inquisitive faces all around the room. With a heavy sigh, and after requesting a hefty bottle of Sake to ‘grease the wheels’ as it were, you start into the tale of your day, from start to finish and all the way up to bidding farewell from Unohana-Taicho. They heard of your troubles with being led around by the nose, of being **** into various uncomfortable and irritating situations without any will of your own, of exploding in the face of the vast amount of corruption and laziness that surrounded your division. They cringed at the result of your broken temper, glared at the attempt of your lieutenant to rekindle whatever friendship and respect she might have had, they even gave you a bit of a sly look after mentioning your run in with the infamous elegant beauty of the healing corps.

With another deep sigh you set down what had to have been your fifth saucer of Sake, your face tinged pink as you soft mutter, “After I finished talking with Unohana-Taicho I came back here…thankfully to some friendly faces instead of some spectacled brat that can’t see bullshit when it’s right in her face.”

“John-kun,” Renji quietly mutters, her eyes glancing up to yours as you focus on the red headed beauty, “I understand that you are upset but…I feel a bit bad for Nanao-san.” Quirking your eyebrow you wait for Renji to continue, something she only does after a bit of thought and nervous scratching at the back of her head, “Well…you see John-kun, for a long time Nanao-san has been doing the work of a Lieutenant and of Captain. Shunsui-san used to push all of his work off onto her so it is very likely that she got used to seeing the work of everyone else in the division cross her desk.”

After a moment thought you nod, “Alright, I will accept that point but at some point you would think she would have caught it, or at least noticed something was amiss somewhere.”

Rangiku shakes her head as she speaks, “Sometimes that may be true Johnny-chan but not always. I’ve seen Nanao-chan after work sometimes; she looks like she has one foot in the grave…so to speak. It wouldn’t surprise me if most of the subordinates would wait until the last minutes to turn in their ‘work’ so they would catch Nanao-chan exhausted when she can’t do anything but focus on doing work.”

Another minute of thinking passes before you speak up, “…okay, okay I understand. Oi, I already promised Unohana-chan but I guess I’ll promise you too, I’ll give Nanao another chance…but if she fucks this up, she is going down.”

While you don’t catch your own slip of the tongue the rest of the girls do, a coy little smirk crossing the lips of Katen as she speaks, “Unohana-chan? My, my Johnny-koi, does someone have their eyes set on the fair queen of the Shinigami Divisions?”

Your face blushes lightly as you try to hide behind your saucer by taking a dry sip, “I have no idea what you are talking about…”

“Yohoho!” Katen laughs, a clever grin on her face as her eye twinkles with mischief, “it appears Johnny-koi has found another, what say the rest of you?”

With a quick nod from the rest of the girls gathered you blush even deeper, your face nearly tomato red as you weakly growl, “C-Cut it out Katen-Hime! Unohana-Taicho was just being kind, like she always is no?”

Yoruichi giggles, her hand held up to her lips as she quietly snickers, “Really Johnny-kun? I don’t seem to remember Unohana-chan inviting anyone else to come visit her after hours~”

You sputter on your drink, Sake spraying out of your lips as you bark, “Hey! Who said it was after hours! She could have just meant for lunch!”

“Oh?” Kukaku joins in, a playful smirk on her lips as she cups her chin with her one hand, “So you’re already setting up dates? How daring Johnny! You haven’t even married us yet and you’re already looking for more, how naughty~”

The way Kukaku’s voice dipped and became soaked with lust at the word naughty almost sends a shiver of pleasure down your spine, your entire body quaking from the rough and husky sound of her voice before another rises up and takes its place, “The house is so full already…John-koi, how many more…do you plan to have?” Turning to the normally quiet Kyokotsu you see the ninja girl giving you a one eyed smile, that single visible orb teeming with mischief and delight at your flustered face and voice.

“Better not be too much John-kun,” Renji says with a playful chuckle, her eyes sparking with passionate desire as her arms subtly squeeze the bound breasts beneath her clothes so as to give you a better view, “Wouldn’t want you focus to be too…split.”

“I agree Johnny-chan,” Rangiku speaks up, her bust line seeming to open even more thus giving you a remarkable amount of cleavage to gaze upon, “I think we are the only ones that want to be…split around here.”

“That’s it!” You growl, your body lunging up from your seat to grab the girls, an action which set off the greatest game of hide and seek you’ve ever had in your entire life.

Hours later, long after you and the rest of the girls have fallen asleep a silent shadow seems to drift on the wind, a soundless shape shearing through the darkness and floating with the quietest of winds as it heads for a location far from our home. Through streets and over trees the shadow bounds, ducking and weaving around and through obstacles with the grace and finesse of an agile beast, never stopping, never slowing, only running, running, running on and on and on.

Eventually the shadow seems to pass through a pure white wall, a brilliant gate of porcelain white opening wide and allowing the shadow to phase through without a moment’s notice. It happens in a flash and at once the shadow reappears, a different time, a different place, a different world to call home. Yet it is no time to rest of the nameless being, a shapeless mass of darkness and secrecy blazing through the skies without a sound, without so much as a peep to announce its long awaited arrival.

For hours the shadows appears and reappears, a blinking faceless visage flickering in and out of existence like a candle of black flame burning until at last, the shadow stops before the odd shawl covered doors of a unique looking shop. The shadow reached out to tap the side of the shop, small knuckles rising up to rap at the solid material and finally announce its existence to the world…

“Ah, Yoruichi-chan, I’ve been waiting for you,” a voice behind the shadow speaks, the calm and cool tone of Kisuke Urahara breaking the silent of the night and she bands of shadow surrounding the dark skinned Yoruichi.

Jumping in place Yoruichi spins around, her hand on her chest as her golden eyes glint in the pale light of the moon, “Geez, you scared the hell out of me Urahara-kun.”

Urahara chuckles as he unfolds the fan in his hand, a smirk dressing his lips as he speaks once more, “Me? Sneak up on the goddess of the flash step and the queen of the shadows? Something must be on your mind.”

For the first time since her arrival Urahara is able to take in Yoruichi’s appearance, her normal outfit in place but a certain expression held in her face as she begins to speak, “And I can’t put anything past you…can I Urahara-kun?”

Urahara chuckles again, his fan flipping faster as her speaks, “Indeed, indeed…so I take it Mayuri was able to obtain his samples.”

Yoruichi reluctantly nods, “Yes…he received them just as easily as you said he would. Just as you thought, John-kun is far too trusting.”

“John-kun?” Urahara laughs, his fan folding up as he lightly scratches his head with the rectangular instrument, “Someone has been getting rather close to Genryusai-san.”

“Y-Yes I have,” Yoruichi speaks with a voice of tense defense, her arms crossing over her chest as she speaks with a slight blush crossing her cheeks, “in fact I have been asked to be one of his wives.”

Urahara’s eyes open wide, surprise in his tone as his smile widens, “Really now? Well now, this could open up a whole new field of study on the test subject.”

In response to this Yoruichi growls, her hair nearly standing on end as she softly hisses, “His name is John, I will not have you call him a test subject around me Urahara-san!”

“And why would that be Yoruichi-chan,” Urahara speaks with a ‘matter of fact’ tone, his voice unwavering as his hand gently raps his fan against the other open palm, “could it be you are falling in love with your…assignment?”

Surprisingly enough Yoruichi nods, her body tensing as she speaks, “Yes…I have. You asked me to watch over him, I did. You asked me to report his…status, and I did. But I’m done now Urahara, I will not spy on John-kun anymore and I won’t help you with whatever crazy scheme you have running.”

For several minutes gaze met gaze, golden orbs glaring into unfazed dark grey orbs until at last Urahara shrugs, his fan flipping up to tap his shoulder as he speaks, “Alright then Yoruichi, do what you choose, we all know that you will no matter what.”

With a silent sigh of relief Yoruichi allows herself to relax slightly, her head shaking a bit as she begins to speak, “Thank you…it’s nice to see you are reas-“

Before she can react Yoruichi feels a pair of lips on her own, the insistent pressure of a male’s mouth pressed to hers as her molten gold eyes snap open in surprise. Just as quickly as it begins it ends, the rapid but deep kiss leaving Yoruichi stunned and appalled as Urahara smirks, “One last kiss for your childhood friend, huh Yoruichi-chan?”

“Y-You…You Bastard! Y-You had no right t-to kiss me! Only J-John-kun can kiss me!” Yoruichi growls, her body rising in a threatening posture as waves of super concentrated Reiatsu pour from her body, something that is effectively ignored by a grinning Urahara.

“You know you can’t do anything to me Yoruichi,” Urahara says with a chuckle, his body turning away from the seething woman as he returns to his shop, his calm and even tone calling over his shoulder as he speaks, “Say hello to ‘John-kun’ for me!”

“Well damn,” a voice speaks, the high pitched feminine tone belonging to an almost perpetually grinning woman, “I didn’t expect to get this…”

“Does it matter idiot?” a rough and huskier voice speaks, a growling female tone breaking the awkward silence like a hammer on glass, “We got our evidence just like you said…all we gotta do is find a way to send it.”

“Right, Hachi-san, if you would?” The grinning woman says, her hand holding up the camera which quickly becomes enveloped in a light emerald green aura. For a few moments the camera only seems to hover, the small technological rectangle hovering in the airless space held within the emerald box. However, in a flash of white the camera and the barrier vanish, the small digital implement suddenly reappearing miles and dimensions away on the empty pillow beside your head…
