Ikkaku was the first to realize that his captain was in a foul mood the next day but it was quickly announced to the rest of the division when Zaraki got upset at one of the members and then proceeded to throw him through a window.

So, for the rest of the week everyone walked on eggshells with the captain, even Yachiru was quieter than usual.

Yachiru sat atop of Kenpachi's shoulder as he sat at his desk. She stared at him and wondered if the reason for his foul mood was the same reason that Braidy lady had come to see her earlier that morning. She smiled widely thinking about how she and the long-haired women would get the foul mouth, fight seeking captain and the fragile, weak-hearted seventh seat together. She was so excited! She was tired of being surrounded by brute like men. None of them would play with her or even read to her but she knew that Hana-chan would. He would make a great mommy. She looked back at Kenpachi and noticed that his eyebrows were painfully knit together as the cogs in his brain circled.

She had opened her mouth to say something when a black butterfly flew in front of her face and landed on Kenpachi's outstretched hand.

The captains face morphed into a wickedly chilling smile as the hell butterfly gave him orders to execute a mission. Finally, something to take his mind off of the events of that night… off of that damned beautiful face.


"Does everyone understand their orders?"

"Hai, captain!"

"Good, remember there are a significant amount of injuries so we must work fast to save everyone possible."

With that, Captain Unohana turned and led her healers into Hueco Mundo.


It was a mess of scattered bodies and healers doing their best to revive, and heal. Apparently, the 11th division was hit hard by a surprise attack from Aizen's arrancars. The 11th division captain was fine physically but mentally he was fuming. He couldn't believe he fell into that jackass traitors trap and lost so many fucking men!

He looked down at himself as he saw blood dripping down his chest. He sighed. He'd be just fine but it didn't mean that his injuries didn't hurt. As he sat in the sand he stared out as the chaotic scene unfolded in front of his eye. He knew his members didn't care too much for the 4th division but he was always thankful for their hard work and made sure to always show them respect.

As he scanned the area his eye fell on a familiar face. Hana… he hadn't seen that face in over a week. Actually, that was a lie because for the past week he'd seen that very face in his dreams almost every night. Hell, he had even used those beautiful blue eyes to get himself off a few times in that one week.

He stared at the small figured man and studied him. 'So he's a healer, huh? make sense that someone so small and fragile would have a kami given talent as healing. Zaraki looked harder at Hana. He was so small, he couldn't be any taller than 4'10, maybe 5 foot? He wasn't just short though. He was small all around, and Zaraki could guess, no he was sure, that Hana had the smallest waist and thighs. Zaraki smirked, although the kid was small he knew that he had a cute little ass, nothing big but something that he could grab onto for sure. And those eyes? They would be the death of him. They were so large, so blue. Sounds fucking stupid but those eyes could search any man's soul if they wanted too. Zaraki wondered what they would find in his own soul, or if Hana would find that he didn't even have one.

As Zaraki continued to study the man, he felt a shift in the sand. He stood abruptly and looked all around. Captain Unohana did the same, sensing the same thing he did. They both searched the area, on alert. It was less than a second later that they heard the sound of unsettled sand and a loud pained cry.

Zaraki and Unohana both turned towards the sound, both knowing exactly who had cried out in pain. "HANAAAA!" Zaraki roared as he ran towards the small man who wouldn't leave his mind.

As he ran towards him, the captain realized that there was a large hollow that had latched it teeth into the younger man's shoulder and then tossed him, and then brought its clawed hand back, preparing to attack again. Before the hollow got a chance, Zaraki had punched a hole clean through the raised hand. He then slashed the hollow with his zanpakuto. The captain was preparing to jump on top of the hollow and pull its head off when he heard a low pained moan creep out of Hana's mouth.

He left the hollow to writhe in pain and slowly die as he ran the distance to Hana.

"Hey kid, are you okay? KID, look at me ?" Hana's eyes looked all around him never settling on one place.

"He can't hear you, he's going into shock." Unohana did a quick assessment of Hana before turning to the 11th division captain. "I need to get him back to the 4th division, now." Unohana's eyes were serious and her smile was gone so Zaraki knew that the situation was dire.


Zaraki stared at Hana as he rested on a 4th division bed. Unohana was able to assess his wound and found that the hollow had inserted some type of poison into the man, thankfully, she was able to heal all the damage.

"He just needs rest, captain"

"Yeah, I hear ya". There was silence for a second before Unohana decided to ask a daring question.

"You love him, don't you ?" she inquired.

Zaraki pulled his eyebrows together and twisted his face a little, trying to comprehend the other captain's words. He stayed that way for what seemed like an eternity. Unohana sighed and began to walk out of the room. If she wasn't such an attentive person she may have missed the words the normally gruff captain whispered.

"I've never... Fuck... I didn't know… I don't think I can live without him". As Zaraki spoke, he surprised himself. He was the captain of the 11th division. A man so strong he wore an eyepatch to reign in some of his uncontrollable power. A fighter who only cared about being victorious…. And yet he knew his words were true. When Hana had been attacked, he didn't know if he would survive and for the first time in what seems like ages, he was scared.

"You should tell him. That boy… he is the sweetest I have ever encountered... But he has demons. He needs love and support. He needs protecting. He needs someone like you, Captain." With that final remark, she turned and walked out of the room.

Hana woke up with a start, his body jolting off the table. His heart was beating out of his chest and he was sweating profusely. He had had a nightmare about that man again, why couldn't he move on from that horrible situation?

Zaraki didn't know what to do or say when Hana bolted out of his sleep, looking batshit crazy and scared shitless. He waited patiently as he held Hana's hand a bit tighter.

As Hana slowly came down from his nightmare he realized where he was and slowly the events that had occurred in Hueco Mundo came back to him. It was then that he realized that Captain Zaraki was next to him, holding his hand and intently staring at him.

"C-captain ?" He didn't know what to say. He felt so weak, having no more fight left in him. And honestly, the mans large calloused hands felt so good enclosing his own. He wasn't sure that anyone other than this captain had ever touched him with a caring touch.

"How ya feeling kid? You really took a hit out there." As the captain spoke to the smaller man he slowly pushed the hair from out of his face, and moved his hands to caress his cheek. He had been dreaming of this soft skin for so long and he was finally able to touch it.

Hana didn't know why he didn't squeak or become flustered like normal. Instead, pushing his cheek closer into the captains large, warm and rough hands. "I'm okay, I feel okay", was all he could say as he savored the warm touch.

"I was worried about you, ya know… I thought that i'd lose you" Zaraki decided he couldn't hide from the truth anymore. And for a second that scared him shitless. He never really cared for anyone other than Yachiru but she could take care of herself. In that split second, he wondered what magic the kid could have done to him to make him feel this way.

"You.. were worried… about me? Why ?" Hana was nothing compared to the captain, why was he worried about him? His existence didn't matter, shouldn't have mattered.

Zaraki saw the honest confusion in Hana's eyes. He saw something else there too but he wasn't sure what it was; he dared to say that it was loneliness. Zaraki made a split second decision that would answer the small man's question and satisfy his own selfish desires. The captain placed his rough lips against Hana's. 'So soft, so sweet' was the first thing that the captain thought.

Hana, not expecting the kiss gasped and tried to push the captain away. The captain encircled Hanas small waist, closing the distance between the two until their chests were touching. He continued to kiss, licking the smaller man's lips, asking for entrance.

Hanas mind was running a mile a minute. He didn't know what to do. He was trapped, just like last time, there was no escape…. NO! This time was different, he didn't feel like crying and he didn't feel violated. In fact, he felt safe, and… aroused? Against his initial reaction, Hana allowed the captain entrance to his mouth.

Zaraki slowly entered the beautiful man's mouth, adventuring and discovering the sweet space before taking Hanas tongue in his own. Hana understood what the captain wanted and yielded as their tongues dueled a slow enticing dance, intensifying Hana's arousal. Hana was the one to break the kiss, a saliva strand falling onto his chin as proof of their recent closeness. He panted heavily, and then looked up into the Captain's eyes.

He was shocked to find that the Captain was also aroused. His eyes lidded and oozing with a dark devouring need. This made the Hana shiver with anticipation.

Kenpachi licked the saliva that had landed onto Hana's chin before tugged on the ebony hair of the younger man and using it as leverage to gain access to Hana's neck. He slowly licked up and down his neck. Pausing to nip at his ear and lick the curvature of it.

"Ca-captain…" Hana lightly moaned.

"Its Kenpachi to you, kid", Kenpachi said right before sliding open the younger man's yukata to expose his slim chest and pinched a small nipple between his thumb and index finger. Hana arched into the touch with a wavering sigh.

Kenpachi was trying hard to compose himself but the kid was so fucking sexy, he wasn't sure he would be able to hold himself back.

With one hand, Kenpachi continued to pinch and tease at the other man's nipples. Using the other hand to open the rest of Hanas yukata to grab his slim erection in his hand. Kenpachi brought his head down to bite at his little lovers lonely nipple, all while pumping his fingers at a slow, tantalizing pace. Hana released a loud but shaky moan. He thrusted his chest into the face giving him pleasure, while simultaneously bringing his hips up, silently begging Kenpachi for release. However, Kenpachi only continued his torturously slow pace, teasing Hana. Fuck was this kid driving him insane. Kenpachi was nearing his limit and knew that he needed to be inside of Hana soon. Filling and feeling every part of him. Even so, he knew he needed to make sure that this was mutual and that he had consent.

"Hana... tell me if you want me to stop, kay?" He said staring down at the other man, waiting for an answer. Hana was so enclosed in pleasure and desire that he didn't even hear Kenpachi. It wasn't until his face was square on with him that he focused on his words. He saw Kenpachi searching his eyes, begging for consent. This made him smile… the man from before had never asked Hana anything, he just took from him. This whole experience was so different. And he welcomed it.

"Please Ken-chan, please". Hana wasn't sure of what he wanted or if he could even handle the captain, but he wanted to try. He wanted anything this man would offer him. It was all so loving, so protective. He craved it, needed it.

Hanas words made something snap in Kenpachi. Within a few swift seconds, he had stripped Hana and himself of all their clothing. He had also laid his little lover down and hoisted his legs up with one hand, exposing his bum. He gave Hana's ass a harsh squeeze and then a quick slap. Kenpachi smirked "I knew your ass was going to be cute as fuck", looking down at the owner. All Hana could do was turn red and look away with an embarrassed but appreciative smile. His eyes went wide when Kenpachi slowly separated his ass cheeks and licked the rim of his entrance.

"Ken-chan, y-you shouldn't !" Although he spoke those words, his body reacted differently. He was now a flush pink and his small erection was dripping with pre-cum. He moaned lightly at the soft kisses Kenpachi was landing.

"Heh, this entrance may even be sweeter than those lips of yours," Kenpachi said before simultaneously shoving his tongue and a finger into the small man.

"Oh, Kami.." Hana grabbed onto Kenpachi's shoulder as a mix of pain and pleasure swept over him. Hana wasn't sure if he'd be able to handle much more of this teasing. Kenpachi could also tell that his little lover was struggling so he quickly prepared him. He extracted his tongue and slowly entered a second finger, and then a third. His large fingers thrusting inside of the petit mans tight, redding hole.

All at once, he pulled out his fingers leaving Hana feeling empty and moaning in disapproval. Kenpachi offered his wet fingers to Hana and was surprised when Hana took them into his mouth quickly, cleaning them off languidly.

Kenpachi took back his fingers and slowly massaged Hana's ass as he kissed the small man, dominantly. Hana had no time to prepare, much less breath but he loved it. Before Hana could register and return the kiss, Kenpachi had already broken the kiss and positioned himself at the smaller man's entrance. He hesitated as he looked down at Hana. He could see that he wanted him, badly but he also looked scared. Scared may be an understatement actually.

"Hana…" Kenpachi had started but was stopped by Hanas trembling hand that came up to caress his pectoral... "Please Ken, I-I need this... I need you. Please be gentle with me". Those words were enough reassurance for Kenpachi.

He kissed both of Hana's small thighs before widening his legs and entering him slowly. "O-oooh Kami..." Hana slowly breathed out a pained sigh. He knew that the man above him was large, he had seen his large cock with his own eyes but the feeling of him entering him was so different. It hurt. It hurt so much that he wanted to cry, and yet he didn't want the other man to stop.

"Open up for me flower, I'm almost all the way in". Kenpachi said when he saw how much pain his little lover was enduring. He swiped away the silent tears that had ran down Hana's face and then slowly kissed him to distract him from the pain as he pushed the last inch into his mate.

Kenpachi looked down at the man who stared back at him with adoring eyes. He was still in pain, he could see that, but he was also thankful. It was then that Unohana's earlier words echoed into the captain'sns ears. Kenpachi wasn't sure what Hana had gone through, or what demons he was fighting but if this was what Hana wanted then he would be sure to give it to him. And give it to him good.

"I'm movin'" Kenpachi grunted quietly, not able to hold himself back anymore. He was trying so hard to ignore just how good Hanas tight ass felt as it constricted around him. He gave a few slow but deep thrust into Hana, searching. In the meantime Hana held onto Kenpachi's arms, trying to hold back a pained scream. Suddenly his eyes opened and his back arched off of the table as he moaned Kenpachi's name loudly. "Heh, finally found the fucker". Kenpachi slowly picked up his pace as he positioned himself to hit Hanas prostate with each thrust.

Hana's pain was forgotten as he moaned loudly as Ken-chan continued to pick up pace and push deep inside of him. In one fluid motion, Kenpachi threw Hanas legs off of his shoulders, instead holding them in the air by the back of his knees, and then pistoned into his Hana at an ungodly speed. All Hana could do was hold on tightly to the hospital bed as his small bum was plundered.

"Ken... I don't think… oh I won't last." He had never felt this way but he knew that he needed release and he needed it soon.

"Don't you dare cum until I tell ya babe, wait for me!" Kenpachi wrapped a few of his fingers around Hana's soaked cock to keep him from coming, leaving Hana to whimper and writhe under him.

Kenpachi pistoned into Hana a few more times before he started to stroke Hana's weeping member at a vigorous pace. The sudden change forced Hana into a powerful climax. He screamed loudly and arched off the bed, cumming over both men's stomachs and then going limp as his body was continually pumped into. Moments later Kenpachi started to climax and leaned down to pull Hanas mouth to his, kissing him slow and sensually, in stark difference to the last furious pumps he pistoned into Hanas red bum. With one last thrust, Kenpachi finished pouring his seed into his little mate and grunted hard. Hanas entrance clenched around the captain draining him for all the seed he had, eventually overflowing out of Hana onto the hospital bed.

Kenpachi fell on top of Hana as the two tried to catch their breaths. Hana looked up at his Ken-chan, whose eyes were closed. Hana lifted his shaky hand to the other man's face as he caressed the cheek, like the other man had done for him before. Kenpachi opened his eye and looked at Hana with satiety. "Thank you Ken-chan, thank yo-ou.." Hana couldn't finish what he wanted to say as he started to cry. So much had happened in the last 24 hours. He didn't know how to process it all. He didn't know if Kenpachi would want to stay with him, or be sated after being with him for one time. He didn't know what to expect. He also didn't know if he should tell the man about the reason he needed him so much. He was so tired. Physically and emotionally. So he cried, and cried.

Zaraki repositioned himself and his partner so that he was laying in front of Hana, cradling the other man in his arms. He knew that Hana had dealt with some fucked up shit to have him feeling the way he did. He didn't know what happened and he didn't know if his mate would tell him but he would do anything to protect him. Anything.

When Hana's crying stopped and his breathing evened out, Kenpachi reluctantly pulled away from his smaller mate to find a rag to clean them up with. Once he found one he cleaned Hana first. Cleaning the sweat and cum from his stomach and then cleaning his no longer virgin ass from his own cum and some blood. It was expected because of his size but Zaraki still flinched at the blood he saw come from the smaller man's entrance.

He finished cleaning them both, then he dressed them and went back to cradling his Hana. Hana snuggled into his chest, comfortable and feeling safe.

Zaraki ran his hands through Hana's hair as he slept. He didn't know what happened to Hana but he was going to find out and he knew who may be able to tell him.
