"You want to fucking fight!?" Words spat out, dripping with vile. Ikkaku was in no mood to deal with anymore 'edgy' recruits. Spinning around he locked onto your orbs.
But much to his dismay he wasn't expecting you of all people. His anger vanished as a smile took his features hostage and within a flash he embraced you warmly. Needless to say you were very relieved to have bumped into a good pal of yours.
"_! What are you doing here girl?" His face red with cheer! Though he paled watching you fumble over a simple sentence. Eyes narrowed and before you could assemble a measly word he spat out aggression.
"NO! You dont belong here! Why! Do you know what they could do to you!? Everyone here is a bunch of sick perverts _! God damn you and your fucking stubbo-"
His eyes trailed to your hands; how hard you were clutching your sandal made he stop. Lowering his gaze even farther he studied your feet.
"What...the...fuck _..."
"I...I broke it Ikkaku..." Relaxing the vice like grip you handed it over to Ikkaku, a sigh escaped his lips. "How?" Brow raised he studied the sandal momentarily before giving you a bemused glance.
"She cant put the damn things on right...thought women were all about shoes..."
You practically jumped, the voice in your head screaming at you to freeze not to make a sound. He was right behind you. Observing your behavior with his 3rd seat. Ikkaku glanced at Kenpachi and then at you.
"Dont know why she is here in the first place...11th Division is no place for a girl..." His voice, deep, rough, and oh how his words pushed your buttons.
"Im not a girl! Im a woman! I was caught off guard thats all!" You snapped back, voice straining to demand attention. Ikkaku's eyes were wide, what the fuck were you even thinking right now. Snapping back at Zaraki like that.
Laughter shot from his throat "Oh!? And do tell me what you were expecting! Flowers? Ponies? Scented fuckin candles!?"
"W-well no b-but..." You began to panic; he was so close to you. Practically screaming into your thoughts. He engulfed you; made your mind blank. His face above yours, challenging your previous outburst with his own.
"Kenpachi she was probably put off by your intimidation thats all!" Ikkaku smiled, waving his hands before him in a passive gesture to ease the tension.
"Tch...Thats what they all say..." The large captain withdrew himself from the presence of the two.
Though he stopped his walk abruptly. Barking back a few final words "Ikkaku since you know her...you are responsible for her...better train her good! Make sure girly can hold a sword!" His laugh was loud, echoing through your mind. Even when he was watching his Division member train you could still hear it.
Ikkaku let out a sigh, grasping his forehead. "Guess your stuck with me now..." He seemed worried, how much work it would take to make sure you were kept safe. God he would have to be attached to your hip every second of the day...yet again...he wouldn't mind that...
"Well you are better than anyone else!" You smiled, his posture straightened and he beamed with excitement. "Well guess we should train huh!?...though we should get you a new sandal..."
A few hours passed and Ikkaku spent them happily showing you and your new sandal around Division 11. He preferred this to watching sweaty men try to out do each other.
"Kitchen Here are the bathrooms...showers are over there...though you wont be using them..." His voice stern as he continued down a few halls, obviously passing quite a few large
"Then where pray tell do I shower and do my business?" Raising your brow you continued to follow Ikkaku. Obviously walking you through areas in which bedrooms were held. Though occasionally he would glance over his shoulder to watch you knock over empty Sake bottles attempting to keep up with his pace.
"Here is my room! I am a 3rd seat so I get a fairly spacious room...AND my own bathroom with a small bathing stall!" He beamed with excitement! "You will use these instead! Less of a chance that anyone will 'interrupt' you. Though tonight you might have to sleep in here...till we find you a room close to mine..."
He awaited your response, only to turn around and watch you slink away. With haste he ran after you, through the halls that you explored. "_ don't be a baby! Its just for one night! Hell we bunked together longer tha-" He came to a screeching halt.
"Huh...guess there is a vacant room after all..." He sounded disappointed.
You stuck your tongue out. "Ha! I will be MORE than accommodating to use your bathroom and shower! But this room...is MINE!" You sat on the floor victorious and proud. The room was surprisingly tidy, floor and walls bare. A spare sleeping mat on the floor, a extra table. Even the walls were clean and there was no 'manly' smell lingering about! It was perfect!
"Ever think there is a reason as to 'WHY' this room is empty?" Ikkaku smiled widely.
"NOPE! HUSH! I wont have your ruining my happy day!" You hastily shoved Ikkaku out of your room. "Now what else is there to do?"
Ikkaku snorted "Fine! Fine! I wont RUIN your 'perfect day'...And to be honest it is past training hours...so most of the guys will be coming back here...Guess that means your survived your first day! Congratulations!...We should go out for a celebratory drink!" His smile sheepish.
"I am up for a drink or two! Maybe seven!" You laughed following Ikkaku out for a drink of celebratory drinking.
Hours seemed to pass like minutes at the bar, you and Ikkaku had caught up on old memories. Laughed at new ones made today.
Quickly and with fits of laughter the two of you made it back to Division 11's gates. You practically shoved Ikkaku through the gates, attempting to hurry him up.
"'hic' Damnit woman!" He stumbled to catch his balance.
"ssshhh Ikkaku 'hic' you'll walk the 'hic' beasts!..." You began to giggle, covering your mouth as you both snuck through the hallways.
"PFT the only 'hic' 'beast' you gotta worry about 'hic' is at the end of 'your' corridor! 'hic'" He smiled darkly quickly walking over various bodies that slept on the walkway. Occasionally stepping on one here or there. Hell wasn't his fault they chose to sleep on the floor and out of their rooms like savages.
Your face paled "Ikkaku! 'hic' What do you mean!?" You fell over a body trying to catch up to the giggling man. The stranger grunted and simple rolled away from you. "Ikkaku!" You eventually caught up to him, granted not as fast as you would like to admit but it was fast enough.
He placed a finger over his lips signalling for silence before you could speak. And damn did he look tired.
"'hic' fun and games are 'hic' over...tomorrow is training...I probably 'hic' gonna have ta 'hic' go over the new recruit documents 'hic' with Kenpachi...you should 'hic' get sleep...gotta battle some men 'hic' in the morning. Training starts at 'hic' 7am" You blinked a few times, and before you knew it his door was shut in your face.
"Ikkaku...what did you mean about the beast?...Ikkaku!?" It was useless, you could hear his snoring from the other side of the door.
Sighing you let a smile creep to your features. All you could think about was that new sleeping mat, and that clean room! All yours! With haste you 'silently' clopped your sandals down the hall. Though you froze momentarily before one of the three doors that resided in this hall. It had pink decorations littered across the door's face.
You snorted, maybe that feathery man, whom you learned held the name of Yumichika Ayasegawa, had 'unique' taste. Stopping before your door you look a bit farther down the hall; there was but one door. "Ugh...gives me the heebie...jeebies..."
With a shutter you opened up your room and with open arms welcomed the sandman.
