Summary: She's never moved faster.
Yoruichi's nimble brown hand reached out slowly, and Soi Fong tensed. She squeezed her eyes shut and bit her lip, expecting a sharp reprimand. Her first day on the job, and she'd already messed up. She should have been paying attention to her surroundings, scanning for threats, not still trying to get accustomed to her new name. It was an embarrassing lapse on her part, but she was only glad Yoruichi hadn't been hurt.
She blinked in surprise as her hair was fondly ruffled, and a broad grin flashed white against Yoruichi's dark skin. "Hey, it's okay, kiddo. Everybody makes mistakes. It's natural. I've definitely made more than my share." Soi Fong blushed deeply.
"Deepest apologies, Yoruichi-hime. It won't happen again." Yoruichi laughed.
"Hey, I said it's alright already. What more do you want?" She jabbed a thin finger into the flesh right above a nasty cut on Soi Fong's forearm. "So go on, off to Fourth with you. Get that seen to." Soi Fong nodded and rushed for the door, but was stopped by Yoruichi's voice ringing out again.
"Hey, Fongy?" Soi Fong nodded uncertainly, wondering if it was actually her being addressed. She was pretty sure Yoruichi knew her actual name.
"Just a tip, next time try to hit the bad guys instead of yourself, okay?"
