A/n I own nothing. I will give reciprocal reviews. This is a little context piece for the almost fight Zaraki and Byakuya had in chapter 65 and all diolougue is copied from that. It felt kinda ooc and this is my interpretation. Let me know if I'm wrong. This makes a little more sense if you've read 'reaction'. Done in Omni 3rd pov.
Kenpachi listened to Gin taunting the captain of the sixth and waited, bored. He'd always wanted to test his skill against the man but, the noble was ridiculously hard to provoke. He figured this was his chance. It was disgusting. He wasn't exactly one to preach the moral high ground but, if you were lucky enough to have family you did not turn your back on them. If he could provoke him maybe, the noble had some redeeming quality. If he couldn't provoke the other captain he might just start it himself out of contempt. Either way he got his fight.
"Why should you be sad? The blood of a criminal only dishonors a distinguished family." he taunted. And that's all you care about isn't it 'noble'?
Byakuya was used to Gin's mind games, kept a rein on his anger and frustration. Kenpachi though, annoyed him on the best day. He was nothing but a dumb, rabid animal not bound by any real social conventions and little by soul reaper rules.
"How surprising, a commoner who understands the ways of nobility," he said. You think this is about my NAME, you psycho.
"If you wish…I'll behead the criminal before the execution," he taunted. Spare your precious house the dishonor of a recorded execution. Are you really so selfish?
"I'm not sure that one with your skills could actually manage that job," he replied. This is the law. I have no choice but, you can touch her over my corpse.
"Want to test me?" Kenpachi said. You self-centered piece of shit.
"Want to be tested?" Byakuya offered. He was shamefully starting to lose control of his anger.
For an instant Kenpachi saw rage burning in the eyes of an otherwise impassive face. Then Gin had to interfere. He was dragged away, enraged at having his fight broken up. Later when he'd calmed down, he couldn't shake the thought that he was missing something. Damned if he knew what though.
