It was nighttime around the Seireitei. It was quiet in every Squad's barracks, except for......yup, you guessed. The 11th. Vice Captain Kusajishi wanted Captain Zaraki to read her a bedtime story! Now, she may be a bit too old for those, but this is Yachiru we're talking about.

So, she was running around her quarter's pulling a few books behind her. She ran over to Kenpachi and threw them in his lap.

"Ken-chan, pick a book to read! Please?" Yachiru says.

"Alright, alright. Huh, who gave you these two?" Kenpachi asks. The two books he held up, were some type of medical book and a book called "Alice in Wonderland".

"Braid-chan gave me the first one, and Uki-kun gave me that one!" Yachiru says happily.

"Huh. What about this?" The next book is about Chappy the Rabbit.

"Midget Rukia-chan gave that to me." She says.

"......What about that one?" He asks, pointing to a book with an older cover on it.

"Oh, that one! Ichi-chan gave it to me. He said it was by some really old guy named....um.... Shake-spear. I bet you there's fighting in it! Ichi gave me this one too. He said you'd probably like it!" Yachiru says, handing Kenpachi a book.

Turns out, Kenpachi did like it. It was all about fighting. Kenpachi chose that one to read.

"Ken-chan?"

"Yeah?" Kenpachi grunted. They were half-way thru the book by now.

"I hope you have fun when you fight Ichi-chan next time!"

"Me too, he's fun to fight, but he always runnin away."

"Ken-chan? I lovvvv................"

"Yachiru?" Kenpachi looked down and saw that Yachiru had fallen asleep next to him.
