What ever could you mean? [V/Yoruichi]

It was the little things that kept you sane.
Five hundred years on earth had certainly tested such things by making very little time for little things in the throes of war and conflict. But even in the darkest times, even those she’d spent in hell. There was aways moments.

To just enjoy the fact she was still alive.

That was exactly why she had chosen to gaslight this woman. She honestly hadn’t even caught her name, but she’d sensed enough hollows suddenly vanishing around her to know that this woman wasn’t average by any stretch.

So she’d decided to play a little game. Kill every single hollow just before the woman could arrive on the scene. And then turn into a cat.

The black feline smiled in her head as she noticed those sharp eyes pausing over her. She wasn’t really paying attention to how many they’d been through but the woman was clearly catching on.

”What’s the matter? Cat got your tongue?” she ventured, using that same deep male voice she always used in this form.

My. How enjoyable this was. So immediately confrontational she would be smiling if she still had the facial muscles to pull off such a feat. But instead she simply maintained that even stare, her amusement entirely internal before she glanced off to the side as if uninterested.

”Those? I’d hardly call them worthy of a workout. Perhaps you should try being a but faster next time.” she suggested as if that were helpful. Those calm lidded eyes watching V as she seemed to rile herself up, Yoruichi simply enjoying the entirety of the situation. If nothing else, killing them before V so much as got close certainly was a warmup. But these were just strays, hardly a proper workout.

”And what if I did?” she asked with her own playful tilt to that deep voice, head canting so very slightly in curiosity. Incredibly curious to see just how petty this woman might be. Slow as she was she wasn’t… TOO slow. She was interestingly fast. But that was a note she kept to herself for now.

Well well well! Now wasn’t this interesting! A bit of casual gaslighting and bullying was always something that was on the table. Casual stuff and all that. But my oh my was this woman rapidly earning herself something special. Showing such aggression and what VERY much seemed like a kindling penchant for violence. And against a cat no less!

Surely, such a disrespectful delinquent was worthy of more….. active bullying. Was she not? But the things as they were. She knew Kisuke would … well no he would always encourage this kind of shit most of the time. Back when they had to be more discrete. But well, any nearby shinigami might have something to complain about. So she decided to push it. To see if this little bunny really WAS intent to enact violence on a mere feline.

If she crossed THAT line? Then her ass was Yoruichi’s. And grass.

”I do believe that if anyone will regret anything, it will be you.” she corrected V, as if she were an idiot for believing otherwise.

Ah there it was. A step over the line.

Before V had even gone so far as to start reaching for her, she wenty ahead and said something that put Yoruichi in a VERY bad mood. She watched as the woman's hand reached in her direction And for just an instant, that feline body was shrouded in Mist as she transformed, far quicker than the woman could likely react to. In that moment, Yoruichi simply considered grabbing the woman by the throat and throwing her through a building or seven. But she wasn't in THAT bad of a mood. Nah, this woman had simply earned herself a pranking. Rather than the small, furry feline that V had originally been reaching for she would find her hand grasping something far smoother and Softer when it finally made contact through the mist. Yoruichi having timed her transformation at the very end of the reach, giving V not a single shot of pulling back in time even if she DID spot the smoke and change her mind about grabbing the feline. Instead, she would wind up with a handful of soft, curvy shinigami sitting casually on the ground while leering up at V with an unpleasant jovial smile. The sort of smile that held back barely bridled rage.

"Hm. Gotta say, it's a little rude to just go grabbing people you don't even know. Not to mention all these insults. I think an apology is in order. Don't you?" Her voice was not male in the slightest anymore, and that last sentence was hedging the line between annoyed and threatening.

It was always a joy to see how people reacted to her true form. Her true voice. Interestingly enough, she noticed a bit of hand motion for an instant there before V seemed to stare squarely at her chest for a few seconds. What a delightfully honest woman. If only that were all she was~ Yoruichi raised a brow as she watched that hand winding back, and then struck in the direction of her tits. She ....watched it for instants that felt longer. Her own perception far faster in response to that incoming danger. My my my, what a temper this woman had. Her own hand flicked out without even a semblance of effort and promptly snared the woman by the wrist, stopping that slapping hand short of it's intended target before the woman gently tightened that grip until V would feel a bit of uncomfortable pressure.

"Hm." An amused noise, before she promptly twisted, spun, and then cranked the woman's hand, bending it in the wrong direction. Not hard enough to ACTUALLY put anything out of it's sockets, but enough to inflict pain and promptly propel V facefirst into the street as she jointlocked the woman's arm and guided her straight into the floor, unless of course this madwoman was the kind of person to just dislocate their limbs to stay on their feet. Yoruichi's own strength was gentle... but it would rapidly increase for the purpose of achieving what she wanted.

"You're pretty bold aren't you? I suppose I did take away your workout." She chimed casually, leaning down and speaking directly into one of the woman's ears. "Why don't I give you a workout myself then? Then it's Even Steven's. What do you think?" She chimed with a cant of her head to the side, curious to see what she would think of that. Especially with the sudden brutal takedown to add context as to what that possibly might mean. It was one of Yoruichi's favorite things to be intentionally vague, and she'd release the woman's wrist once she'd spoken, curious to see what V would do from here. If she got up and turned around, she'd see yoruichi slipping a jacket on, a brief sudden shunpo to snag some of her stashed clothes nearby. Some spats and a sports bra in addition to the jacket itself. Just so that V wasn't too distracted~
