A/N: This sprung up from the short piece me and my good friend Raito wrote some time ago. If you want you could also read "Yuki" which is more like a companion fic to this.

Cookies
Raito and Clow-san
"Where did my name come from, Kaa-san?" The ginger haired boy asked, timidly, with his hands propped up the counter.
Orihime stopped mixing the cookie batter and looked at the boy. Her eyes twinkled and she continued stirring. "Well, it's a quite a long story Ken, are you sure you want to hear it?"
Kenichi nodded the day was so slow and he got nothing better to do.
"Well," she started. "Remember the story when the bad guys took Kaa-san away?"
"Yes! Tou-san came to save you with, Rukia-baa-san, Renji-jii-san, Uryu-san and Chad-san" he stated while raising his finger for each name. He gaze at Orihime expectantly, "What about it then?"
The ginger-haired woman chuckled. Impatient, just like his father, she thought. She carefully placed the cookies in the oven. "You see Ken in one battle your Tou-san almost got… well, beaten and somebody had saved us."
The boy opened his mouth in disbelief. His Tou-san almost got beaten? That's just unreal. "Who saved you, Kaa-san?"
Orihime took off her apron and placed it at the wooden hook beside the refrigerator. "A friend named Zaraki Kenpachi…he's a captain."
"Kenpachi???"
"Yes. I thought it was proper to get a kanji from his name, since without him… you won't be here." She replied, ruffling her son's head. "And of course the second kanji is from your Tou-san…"
Ding.
"Oh… the cookies are done." Orihime said as she wore the kitchen mittens. Kenichi quickly got down for his chair to his mother's side.
Orihime took one piece and blew on it. "Here," she gave the piece to the boy.
Kenichi accepted it with a large smile on his face. He loved his mother's cookies especially this one. He sank his teeth into it and savored the taste. "I think it has less onion this time, Kaa-san. It's delicious!"
The ginger-haired women smiled. "I hope your Tou-san would like it."
