Captain Kenpachi Zaraki stared at the sword in his hand. His zanpakuto, an extension of his very soul and a pain in the ass now that he'd decided to talk to it.

"Tell me your name." he demanded. Silence followed.

"Tell me your damn name." he insisted in a harsher tone. Again silence.

"Dammit!" he complained, tossing the blade aside in frustration. "What the hell am I doing wrong?"

Then slowly, as if floating across a vast distance, came the first words from his zanpakuto.

"Say please."

The explosion of anger and reiatsu could be heard throughout the Sereitei.


A/N: This is my first ever drabble. I decided to try it to see if I could actually do it. It is exactly 100 words (minus this note and the intro). Hope you like it!
