Chapter One: Living World Appeal

Yachiru was with Kenpachi as usual. The odd couple walked down through the gate to the Living World for a special mission. Surely it was a special one... It was easily accomplished, and the man found no need for him to be there for such minor business. And what's more? Yachiru seemed quite fond of this unfamiliar world. She would poke her pink head everywhere and get into tons of trouble. Dragging her captain everywhere, the little girl was having the day "her" way. At first, he was only letting her have bits of fun on their way back to Soul Society, but it got out of hand. No one can stop the child if she was determined.

Walking pass a small house, the girl could see a little boy and an older man sitting there on the couch. She was staring in wonder, for the boy was smiling so incredibly. The older man seemed to be reading him a story from the book. Yachiru cocked her head sideways. Maybe not today, she could ask that another day. Instead of that, her stomach growled in protest, and like herself, didn't want to be ignored

"Ne, Ken-chan!" She yanked on Kenpachi's sleeve persistently.

"Whacha want?"

"I forgot what those breads are called."

The taller only remained silent. It's wise to leave her alone until she comes up with the name, and he, had no intention of providing any kind to help. Mildly annoyed, Kenpachi began scanning around. Why did he even come with his vice-captain?

"KEN-CHAN! Do you remember? They have two flaps with an icy thingy in the inside."

It was kind of hard for Kenpachi to imagine, despite the fact that he didn't like the idea. He stood there in silence once more. After all, what could you do around Yachiru? The girl's imagination ran wild.

I remembered that it's yellowish with a yummy ball inside of it... and it has something to with a pan... She continued to stress her mind. Just what's the name of that? Pann... panny? Kake?

"I got it! It's called a pannycakie! Ken-chan! Let's go buy some..."

Pannycakie? Kenpachi ran the word throughout his mind. Then he remembered it. She was looking for that pancake that they ate the last time they were here. Walking over to buy some of that 'pannycakie', as she insisted on calling it, the girl only pouted when she got hers.

"The one last time had an icy thingy in it, can you get me that one?" She looked up with that childish smile once more.

"This goin' to be the last, alright?" ordered a disturbed captain.

The man stormed to another store and bought Yachiru the ones with ice cream in it. He didn't know why this particular kid could be so annoying, and yet, still lives till this day by his side. Handing her the gift, she took one enormous bite and giggled with ice cream all over her face. But it soon disappeared.

"Ne, Ken-chan... that's not the right flavor..."

The girl kept on yanking his sleeve along the way. He would simply ignore her and walk back to Soul Society. Who would have thought that a kid like her could actually get along so well with thismonster-like captain? But he has had enough. To him, there's no difference in flavor at all. Running to catch up with his strides, the tiny girl continued to nag him and pull on his sleeves...

Hmm... this was just short i guess. Please review!
