Soifon and Ranma didn't get the chance to say anything else to each other when they both heard a familiar voice call out through the woods. "Ranma, Ranma, where are you son? Enough playing around Ranma, if you don't show yourself in the next five minutes I'm going to stick your gigai in cat mode for a month!"
Ranma gulped at the mere thought of being stuck as a cat for a month. The Neko-ken's influence on him didn't make the punishment that bad for Ranma. Rebirth and lots of positive reinforcement concerning cats had pretty much removed that problem for him. Heck, Ranma had even found it enjoyable to become a cat occasionally like his mother. Cats, or even being a cat wasn't the problem for Ranma. His problem was being stuck as a cat for a month; how could he train if he was stuck in his cat form? The young Shihoin called out, "I'm here Mom."
Yoruichi immediately shunpoed into the clearing with her hands on her hips. "There you are Ranma! What have I told you about running off like that? Was it to go fight Hollows again? You know better than to fight against Hollows by yourself-" The elder Shihoin stopped in mid sentence when she finally realized that she and Ranma weren't the only ones in the meadow. "Soifon?! What by Sereitai are you doing here?"
The current captain of the Second Squad blinked her eyes trying to make sense of the scene in front of her. Was Lady Yoruichi actually in front of her scolding her son about being reckless? Ever so softly Soifon whispered, "Lady Yoruichi? Is it really you?"
Yoruichi gulped and wondered how she was going to handle this situation. Ever since she had left Soul Society, Yoruichi had been worried about Soifon. Taking care of Ranma had been central to her life in exile, but she had always wondered how Soifon was doing. Yoruichi noted that her son had taken this opportunity to move to the other side of the meadow and she wished she could do the same. The former captain nodded her head and replied, "Yes my Little Bee"
To everyone's surprise, Soifon pulled her fist back and punched Yoruichi in the face. She then grabbed onto the elder Shihoin's jacket and began crying. "Why, Why, WHY DID YOU LEAVE ME?!"
Ranma silently watched as his mother wiped away the blood from her lip and then wrapped her arms around Soifon. Yoruichi closed her eyes and softly whispered to Soifon. "I'm sorry for what happened to you Little Bee."
