"Hey, Yoruichi! Where are you taking me, where?!" Shirō Emiya yelled.
The poor guy was being dragged by his ankle, head bouncing off the ground for who knows how many meters before Yoruichi finally realized and let go.
No doubt about it, in Shirō's eyes, she definitely did it on purpose.
"You'll see when we get there. It's a surprise~!" Yoruichi said with a sly grin.
Shirō shuddered.
A surprise? From Yoruichi? That could only mean something bad.
Is she planning some kind of sadistic play?!
"Actually, I just remembered, I've got something to do. I'll pass! Not going!" Shirō tried to back away immediately.
But Yoruichi grabbed him again and dragged him off without another word.
They sprinted wildly across the Soul Society until Yoruichi finally came to a stop.
Shirō slowly recovered from his dizziness and looked around.
"This is... prison?!"
He immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
Even if she's into S&M, this is taking it too far!
"Wait, what are you trying to do?" Shirō asked with a trembling voice.
Before he could finish, Yoruichi pulled him off the cliffside.
"AAAAHHHHH!!!"
Shirō clung to Yoruichi in terror as they plummeted, tears streaming down his face.
Who the hell bungee jumps without a rope?!
Even Shinigami could be afraid of heights, you know?!
His poor heart nearly gave out.
Yoruichi, on the other hand, was cackling the whole way down.
Splash!
...
Shirō crawled out of the water and immediately lunged toward a black cat.
"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU! STAND STILL! I SWEAR I'M NOT LETTING YOU GET AWAY TODAY!!!"
"Hahaha, Emiya! Wasn't that fun?! You looked like you were enjoying yourself!" Yoruichi laughed while nimbly dodging in her cat form.
Chasing Yoruichi was hard enough under normal circumstances, let alone when she was in this sleek, agile form.
"Then why didn't you try it?!" Shirō shouted, fuming.
Just because there was a splash didn't mean it was safe.
Right after the splash came a loud crack!
This wasn't a lake. Heck, it wasn't even a pool. It was basically a bathhouse. Standing inside, the water barely reached waist-level!
And Yoruichi? She had kicked off Shirō midair and landed gently as a cat, barely making a ripple.
Meanwhile, Shirō face-planted so hard that the floor cracked like a spiderweb.
It's a miracle he survived.
Shirō swore, if this continued, he was going to get killed by this woman!
"Come on~ Catch me if you can! There's a reward if you do~" Yoruichi teased while darting ahead.
Shirō suddenly stopped.
"Huh?"
He looked around, up, down, all sides.
"Where are we...?"
They were supposed to have fallen into a prison like place.
But this... didn't look like that at all.
"Isn't this amazing?!" Yoruichi said gleefully.
"Who would've thought there was such a huge space down here?"
Shirō's mouth twitched.
So this was the "surprise."
She proudly declared, "Urahara and I dug this place out together! You can train here, hang out here, there's even a hot spring!"
She chattered on, but Shirō's expression was growing darker.
"Hmm?" Yoruichi finally noticed his silence.
"You don't look too happy, Emiya."
"Hmph!" Shirō turned his head away.
"I thought you'd love this place... I mean, we could come here and hang out together..." she said softly.
"Then why didn't you tell me earlier?" Shirō snapped.
"Because it was supposed to be a surprise!" she replied casually.
"Hmph." Shirō turned his entire body around.
Yoruichi narrowed her eyes and smirked,
"Little Emiya... are you jealous?"
"Me?! Jealous of you?! That's the biggest joke I've ever heard!"
Yoruichi leaned in closer.
"You like me, don't you?"
"I, I would never, hey! What are you doing?! Put your clothes back on!" Shirō blushed furiously.
Yoruichi had changed back to her human form, and was completely naked.
"Oh, my clothes? They fell in the water," she said matter-of-factly, pointing at them floating nearby.
"Then why'd you switch back?!" Shirō yelled, covering his eyes, while sneakily peeking through his fingers, of course.
"Because it looked like you were enjoying the view," she purred, stepping closer.
Fine. If she's gonna play like that, then no more Mr. Nice Guy.
Shirō gritted his teeth and lunged toward her like a hungry wolf.
Only to tackle... a black cat.
"Oooh~ So that's what you're into, Emiya~" Yoruichi teased.
"DAMN IT! I'M GONNA KILL YOU!!!"
Thud. Thud. Thud. Thud.
"Why the hell did it end up like this...?"
Shirō was drenched in sweat, swinging a shovel as he dug up soil.
Not far away, a happy little black cat was floating lazily in the hot spring, doing backstrokes and spinning in circles.
You're a CAT. Stop acting like a synchronized swimmer!
How did things come to this?
Simple.
Yoruichi had said:
"You looked so disappointed about not being involved in the creation of this place. Well, we still need to expand it. So, congrats! From now on, you're in charge of digging. This will be our shared accomplishment!"
And thus, poor Shirō Emiya found himself slaving away in the dirt, while Yoruichi enjoyed the fruits of his labor.
Looking at the playful black cat, Shirō furrowed his brows.
Wait... do I actually like her?
No way. I'm not into pain and suffering... am I?
...Maybe I have a hidden masochist streak? No. That can't be it...
