Author's note: The title isn't the best I may change it later. This fanfic has to do with Kukaku Shiba and Kenpachi Zaraki as well as various other characters. I do not own bleach or any of its characters. I have written this to the best of my abilities. I have no set time line in which this story is placed as far as the bleach storyline goes. Reviews are appreciated. I hope you like this story. Have a nice day.

When Kukaku met Kenpachi Zaraki she didn't think much of him other than the fact that he had a high reiatsu and was a shinigami. She didn't think of him as a threat to her that was until he started to fight her brother Ganju.

Kukaku shoved Ganju out of the way as Kenpachi swung his sword trying to slice her brother in half. Kukaku gritted her teeth as his sword dug into her skin. She moved away from Kenpachi as he attacked again, she started to use kido which was only having little effect on him. Kukaku continued to dodge before pulling out her sword and using Shunpo to get close enough to stab him.

Kukaku was surprised when he blocked her attack and sent her on her back. She looked up at him noticing the twisted smile that graced his face. Kukaku was ready to move should he decide to attack her again but it never came. "You're not that bad even though ya only got one arm; I'm Kenpachi Zaraki, Taicho of eleventh division" Kukaku looked at the out stretched hand suspiciously before accepting it to get up. "I'm Kukaku Shiba, just who in the hell do you think you are attacking my kid brother like that!" Kukaku demanded standing to her full height which compared to Kenpachi wasn't very intimidating.

Kukaku could see he was about to answer when a flash of pink appeared on Kenpachi's shoulder. "Ken – Chan did you have a good fight? Who is that?" Kukaku wondered who this little girl was that showed no fear toward the man before her. "I'm Kukaku Shiba and who might you be?" Kukaku asked intrigued. "Yachiru Kusajishi, I'm Ken – Chan's Fukutaicho Kuu - Chan" Kukaku glared at the girl for calling her Kuu – Chan but let it slide trying to figure out why a Taicho and his Fukutaicho while strange as they were, were doing in Rukongai instead of behind the walls of Seireitei.

Kukaku rounded up her brother and invited the shinigami's to her house wanting to get the answers to the remaining questions she had. "Why are you here?" Kukaku said after stepping into her house. "Ken – Chan was told to by beard – Chan to find fireworks expert Shiba" Kukaku turned around and faced them, "why do you need me for? I want nothing to do with you shinigami?" Kukaku struggled to breath as Kenpachi's reiatsu shot through the roof. "I ain't got a clue, I was just told to bring ya to Seireitei." Kukaku grimaced when the shinigami throw her over his shoulder ready to leave.

"Ganju don't try and fight, it won't do you any good just stay out of trouble until I get back got it!" Kukaku yelled to Ganju from her humiliating position. Kukaku tried multiple times to get off the shinigami's shoulder after starting to feel pain on her abdomen with every step he took. "Why don't you just Shunpo back to Seireitei, It would save us a lot of time?" The Shinigami stopped setting her down looking at her "I ain't got no clue what that is but if ya think you can beat me to Seireitei how 'bout a race?"

Kukaku could tell from the twisted smile that he was hiding something but decided to accept his challenge knowing if he couldn't Shunpo then he couldn't catch her. The race began Kukaku using Shunpo and Kenpachi just running. Kukaku looked behind her expecting to see nothing only to have Kenpachi race past her with Yachiru giggling saying faster. Kukaku started to use more reiatsu as she tried to catch up with Kenpachi impressed that he was able to run that fast.

As they came close Seireitei Kukaku began to think Kenpachi could give Yoruichi a challenge if he was able to learn Shunpo. Kukaku saw the northern gate and began to slow down only to be picked up and slung over Kenpachi's shoulder once again. "Would you just put me down, it's not like I'm going to run I raced you all the way here!" screamed Kukaku as she maneuvered herself to kick Kenpachi in the face.

"Kenpachi Zaraki, release her at once!" Kukaku looked to see who yelled and saw Yamamoto Soutaicho standing in front of the gate. Kukaku walked up to Yamamoto, "what do you want?" asked Kukaku who was getting annoyed with everything that had happened since this morning. "I instructed Zaraki to bring you here and while unorthodox as it is ask you if you would be willing to become Taicho of fifth division if only until Fukutaicho Hinamori can achieve bankai." Kukaku glared at Yamamoto saying "I want nothing to do with you shinigami especially when you threw my brother and I out of Seireitei after what happened to Kaien" Kukaku was ready to turn around and make the journey back home.

"Why ask her when she couldn't even fight me, the fourth division pansies could beat her?" Kukaku turned growling at Kenpachi before taking out her sword and releasing the cloaking kido she had on it. Kukaku never wanted anyone to know she had a Zanpakuto much less know that her powers were of Taicho level. "Rain down Tenraidon!" screamed Kukaku activating her Shikai ready to fight. The blade of her Zanpakuto was longer then most others. The hilt had engravings of lighting bolts and the handle was covered with golden cloth.

Kukaku charged at Kenpachi intending to make him pay for calling her weak. Kukaku evaded Kenpachi's block and stabbed his arm. "So just who were you saying was weak?" Kukaku asked smugly as she watched blood slide down his arm. "Wouldn't get to cocky yet if I were ya woman." Kukaku didn't have time to think as Kenpachi appeared in front of her cutting her on her side. Kukaku held her wound opting for dodging for a while trying to find weakness in his attacks even if he just hacked and slashed with his Zanpakuto he could make decisions in battle with only a fraction of a second.

She had been fighting him for over an hour and neither was willing to give defeat, even though they were both bloody and battered. Kukaku hadn't been able to fight like this since she had lost her arm, and while unwilling to admit it was having the time of her life. She could tell from Kenpachi's maddened grin that he was having fun to.

When Kukaku awoke she wasn't sure where she was or even who won the battle. While in pain Kukaku couldn't have felt happier. She had gotten to have a great fight against someone that didn't take into account that she only had one arm. Kukaku seemed to have forgotten why the fight had been started to begin with. She was interrupted from her thoughts as a woman with gray short hair walked in along with Uohana Taicho.

"You and Zaraki Taicho were brought to fourth division after you both collapsed. You lost most of your blood and would have died had they not brought you here soon enough. I would hope that I would not have to treat wounds this badly again much less on two people at the same time." Kukaku snorted at Uohana before saying "I don't plan on being here for very long; just tell me when I'm free to go. I have no plans on staying in Seireitei." Kukaku could see that Uohana was surprised by this news but said that she could leave in two days time.

"Kuu – Chan is it true that you're going to leave?" Kukaku opened her eyes and found Yachiru sitting on top of her looking worried. "Yes it is I nee-" "you can't leave Ken – Chan had fun fighting you, he said your even better then Ichi – Chan because you didn't care about anything other than the fight!" Kukaku sighed; she didn't want to deal with this kid that was ready to open the flood gates. "Yachiru get off her" Kukaku looked over at the door were Kenpachi stood bandaged up and from the looks of it tore open a few of his wounds again as blood seeped through the cloth. "But Ken – Chan you can't let her leave, I like her!" Kukaku would have covered her ears when Yachiru screamed but instead hugged her after seeing her start to cry.

Kukaku glared at Kenpachi wondering how the hell she got into this mess. Yachiru finally stopped crying and was now asleep next to Kukaku. "I wouldn't try and pick her up she has a vice grip on my clothes." Kukaku said when she noticed Kenpachi coming closer to the bed. "Ya know Yachiru won't give up on this easily, she's been known to drag back strays that run" Kukaku growled getting pissed "I'm not a fucking dog and I'm not running, My homes in Rukongai not here and why would you care anyways!" Kukaku backed up as far as she could on her bed when Kenpachi brought his face up close to hers.

"Ya got guts and the power to back it up; keeping ya around could amuse me" with that Kenpachi left the room. 'What did I do to deserve this?' thought Kukaku after she calmed down a little from what Kenpachi said.

It was the day Kukaku was released to leave. During the two day stay she had been visited by Yachiru Multiple of times, luckily she hadn't seen Kenpachi since there last talk. "Kukaku Shiba you are free to leave fourth division, your wounds have healed to the point where they have no possibility of reopening." Kukaku grabbed her sword and made her way to the exit wanting to get out of Seireitei as fast as she could.

Kukaku got to the front of fourth division only to be met by an army of shinigami with Kenpachi and Yachiru standing in the middle of them all. Kukaku called upon her Zanpakuto. She didn't think she could fight them all but she wasn't going to give up without a fight. Kukaku was ready to fight against eleventh division but was stopped when she felt someone place there hand on her shoulder. She looked over her shoulder and found Soi Fong was the one to stop her. "Miss Shiba you will not need to fight, Soutaicho Yamamoto has asked that I escort you to first division where he will accompany you to the gate leading into Rukongai." Kukaku shrugged before letting down her sword ready to fallow her.

"You can't let her go Ken – Chan; I want her to be my mom!" Kukaku froze before turning around stiffly trying to get her head around what she had just heard. She could tell that all of eleventh division was shocked by this news as was Kenpachi from the looks of it. "Listen here kid there is no way I'm going to be your mom!" yelled Kukaku before she broke into a full out run toward first division. Kukaku didn't even have to look behind her to know that she was being fallowed by Kenpachi and Yachiru.

Kukaku only hoped to lose them as she zigzagged around the giant maze that was Seireitei. When she finally got to first division she noticed that Yamamoto Soutaicho was already waiting for her. "Lets hurry up old man; I don't want to be caught by the sugar high girl" Kukaku said as she came to a stop. "Miss Shiba, I will ask again that you reconsider my offer; Zaraki Taicho will not stop pestering you I'm sure he'd find a way into Rukongai even if I was to close all gates coming in and out of Seireitei." Kukaku knew that he was right but she wasn't sure what to do. If she agreed to stay her brother would know that she had been living a lie by denouncing shinigami when she was one even without formal training and if she didn't her brother would still find out.

"I'll stay and become captain of fifth division only if my brother and my guards are allowed into Seireitei." Kukaku could see Yamamoto was debating before finally agreeing to her terms. Kukaku walked towards fifth division after she was given Taicho robes. "Shiba Taicho, I am Fukutaicho Momo Hinamori." Kukaku could tell this girl didn't like her. "I will not tolerate any sort of disrespect from you or anyone else, I suggest that you get over whatever bothers you or you will be tossed out of my division." With that said Kukaku walked off toward her office to figure out how many shinigami were in her division.
