Kukaku Shiba sighed it was raining…Again. That day marked the fourth day it had been raining.
She hated the rain it made it so that she couldn't even train or work on her kido (most of which being fire based) she had tried inventing new kido in her workshop but after a peculiarly bad reaction she had to let it air out and so she was waiting on her porch waiting for some thing interesting to happen when a man stepped out of the forest in front of her.
The man had long black hair that reached his shoulders he was at least six feet tall and was wearing some very ragged clothes with a sword peaking over one shoulder but what really caught her attention was the small child in his arms. When the man reached the porch she asked " why are you here?"
"She's sick, I'm lookin' for someone ta help her" he replied
"Well I do have some medicine inside I'll see what I can do for her and if she doesn't get any better by tomorrow I take to see some of my soul reaper friends and have them take a look." She said as she led them inside.

Kukaku was headed for bed after getting her guest settled and locking up for the night.
Man she thought I didn't think he would demand to be in the same room as that little girl.
Which was not totally true he really just sat down next to her bed with his sword across his lap and closed his eyes.
As she passed the kitchen area she heard a sound like someone going though her cupboards.
Must be Ganju trying to find a late night snack again
When she went in she found to her surprise that it was actually the man from the woods
"I thought you were with the girl," she said.
"Yachiru woke up an' said she was thirsty so I was looking for your glasses ta get her some water" he explained as if it were obvious.
They're over here she said pointing to a cupboard he had not yet checked
She opened it and grabbed a cup filled it with water from the tap and began walking toward Yachiru's room
"By the way," she said as he followed, "I don't think I caught your name yet"
"Zaraki, Kenpachi Zaraki"
