Lady Bad Luck: My mom came up with Kenpachi's line. Not completely, but the basic gist of it. Scary, huh? ^^'
Why Philosophy Is Bad For Yumichika's Health
"Ken-chan! If a tree falls down in a forest, but no-one's there to see it, does it still make a sound?"
Kenpachi Zaraki blinked, and stared at the fuzzy pink ball of energy that was his adoptive daughter. "Why th' hell should I care?"
Yachiru pouted. "But Feathers said it was important!"
The Kenpachi raised his gaze to the ceiling, as if he was hoping he'd find the answer written on the whitewashed boards. From across the room, Ikkaku snickered wickedly.
"That was evil, Yumi. She'll never let him not answer."
Yumichika merely smiled. Beautifully. "I try."
"Does it, Ken-chan?" Yachiru asked again, innocent as innocent can be. Kenpachi looked down at her again, and sighed.
"Put it this way, brat- if I stab ya in th' guts when no-one's around to hear ya scream, does it still hurt?"
Yachiru thought for a moment, then nodded decisively. "'Course it does!"
Kenpachi nodded sagely, the bells in his hair tinkling with the movement. "Same principle. Go try it out on th' fruitcake."
Yachiru's happy cheer echoed through the mess hall, a sound of impending doom.
Ikkaku blinked. He'd never seen a man move that fast without shunpo.
