Kenpachi Zaraki came to a stop. His hand went to wipe away a bead of sweat forming on his face.
"Woo boy, those Hollows actually made me break a sweat!" He said happily.
His uncovered eye glanced out at his lieutenant who was making her way towards him. Suddenly she stopped. Fear made its way into her eyes and they widened.
"Yo Yachiru, what's wrong?"
"K-Ken-chan, look out behind you!"
Kenpachi started to turn around but that was all he had time for. The next instant he felt a weight in his chest. He looked down as the supposedly dead Hollow pulled away.
"Dammit."
His knees buckled, and he fell what seemed like a long way to the dirt. He lay there for a moment eyes closed. He took off his eye patch, hoping for all of his spiritual pressure to aid him but it did no good. As his vision started to blur, he saw his lieutenant draw her zanpakuto and go after the Hollow, bellowing as it faded away. He closed his eyes and opened them again, having a hard time keeping his eyelids from falling. Yachiru was now standing above him sobbing his name
"Don't cry Yachiru, I'll…be…fine..."He said firmly.
His voice then faded and he fell unconscious, like a candle suddenly blown out.
