Chapter 1

It was a normal captain's meeting in Soul Society. Kenpachi was standing there wanting to get out of there. He was bored. The old man was talking about how there has been strange reiatsu detected by Squad 12 right outside the Seireti in the Rukongai and strange breaks in the wall around the Seireti. Why would he give a hoot about it? He wanted to leave. Suddenly he heard something up in the rafters above the captains heads. He looked up and didn't see anything. Ch, whatever, he thought as he continued ignoring the head captain.

Whew, that was close. A young woman, in her late teens, early twenties, sat still above the captain's heads as she listened to the captain's meeting going on below her. If he saw me, that would be the end for me. As she stilled her heart, she kept listening to the Head Captain.

"Captain Zaraki?" Captain Yamamoto said impatiently.

Kenpachi looked at the man. "What is it old man?"

"I want you and your squad to discover who or what is emitting that strange reiatsu," the head captain said as he narrowed his eyes at the large captain.

Kenpachi looked bored as he said, "What reiatsu?"

The other captains sighed and shook their heads as the head captain said sternly, "Have you not heard anything that has been talked about in this meeting?"

Kenpachi looked at him as he said, "No, and I don't really give a hoot about it either. And anyways, why do I get this assignment? That is Squad 2's job."

"We are incredibly busy right now and don't have time to investigate." Soi Fon said.

"Ch, fine," Zaraki said as he looked at the door, hoping this was the end of the meeting. Sadly for him, it wasn't.

"Now, on to other matters," the Head Captain continued on.

The young woman sighed, got up and left quietly. She had to figure out a way to make sure NOBODY found out she was here, which meant making sure to be more careful from now on. I guess I have to let them know I am here. But not right now, she thought to herself as she headed to the Rukongai district. Maybe I will wait for a little bit. It will be fun watching that not-so-smart captain try to figure it out.

A Few Days Later

Kenpachi and Yachiru were out in the Rukongai searching for the source of the "strange reiatsu". Quite frankly, they had no idea what exactly they were looking for.

"Kenny, let's go this way!" Yachiru said as she pointed down a narrow alley way.

Kenpachi looked at her. "Why, brat?"

Yachiru shrugged. "'Cause."

"Ch, fine," Kenpachi said as he turned down the alley she pointed. As soon as they turned down it, a young woman ran right into the huge captain.

"Hey, watch where yer going!" she shouted as she looked up at Kenpachi and paled. Aw shoot! They saw me! This could be fun, though, she thought as she stood up.

Kenpachi cocked his head. "You've got a lot of guts, woman," he said smirking.

The woman smirked back. "Really?"

"Yeah, yelling at somebody probably three times your size. Are you not right in the head?" Zaraki said. For some odd reason, he felt like this was déjà vu.

The woman looked at him and gave a small smile. "I have been told that many times," she said as she bowed. "I am sorry if I was disrespectful. Let me introduce myself. My name is …," she started, but Kenpachi interrupted.

"I don't care what your name is, woman."

Yachiru popped up and said, "Hi! I'm Yachiru and this is Kenny!"

"Really? Well it is nice to meet you Yachiru and," the woman kept a laugh in, "Kenny."

Kenpachi narrowed his eyes at her. This woman was really annoying. "Is there something with my name?" he growled.

She smirked. "Yeah, a big man like you shouldn't have a name like Kenny," she said, putting her hand on her hip.

"Yeah, well, it is just a nickname."

"I see. Well, it was a pleasure meeting you both. Have a nice day," the woman said as she walked past them back into the street.

Kenpachi whirled. "Wait a second. Do you know the source of a strange reiatsu from around here?" he asked quickly.

She turned a looked at him funny. "Nooo, should I of?"

"No, just asking," he said as Yachiru waved good bye to the woman.

"Ok," she said as she disappeared around the corner. When she was out on the street, she started laughing hysterically. Wow, that man really can't tell the difference between reiatsus, she thought as she walked out of the town and into the woods.

A Few Days Later

Captain Yamamoto was not happy. "What do you mean you haven't got anything on the strange reiatsu?"

"I mean that, old man," Kenpachi growled.

All the captains stood there dumbfounded. This captains meeting turned into a fight between the two of them.

"What did you do all week?" Yamamoto said.

"I believe I can answer that," a voice said above their heads.

Kenpachi- along with all the other captains-jerked his head up. That voice sounded familiar.

A small, slender figure jumped down among the captains. She had on a pair of jeans and a red shirt with a golden dragon going around her shirt. Her eyes were large and the colors of a fire-red and orange. Her hair was brown and her skin was well-tanned. She turned to Kenpachi and grinned. "Hello, Kenny."
