Kenpachi awoke the next morning immediately went outside and sat on the porch in his private quarters and closed his eyes. He meditated for a while before feeling the familiar pull, opening his eyes quickly he stood up in the barren wasteland of his inner world and called out "woman" as soon as the word left his lips he caught sight of the slim form of his zanpaktou as she gracefully walked towards him she smiled "I didn't expect you to be back so soon"

He grinned manically at her "I want to get stronger" he said making her laugh "and how do you plan to do that?" she enquired cocking her head to the side inquisitively. He frowned at her "by gaining your powers I thought that was obvious" she then smiled coldly at him "you thought it would be that easy? I have been sat in here on my own listening to you call me a tool and a mere weapon! Didn't you tell our superiors that there was no point in learning my name?" she finished starting to get angry she could feel tears surfacing so she turned away wiping her eyes with the back of her hand.

Kenpachi looked at her back as it began to tremble he sighed and moved towards her embracing his zanpaktou from behind and muttered "I'm sorry for leaving you alone and what I said before it was… Wrong of me" he finished while resting his chin on her head. She squeezed his arms "you… apologized to me…? Why?" Kenpachi growled "This is a one-time thing, it won't happen again got that brat!?" she giggled softly "understood sir and my name's not brat it's Gunshin"

Kenpachi cocked his head to one side and repeated "Gunshin?" she span round "that's it, you heard it, you heard my name" she replied happily.

He grinned "Gunshin eh? A fitting name for the Zanpaktou of the 11th's Squads Captain but a little bit masculine for you" the last comment earned him a poke in the ribs which made him grunt "watch what you say Kenpachi, now don't you have a meeting to get to?"… There was a pause between the two of them "…" "You forgot didn't you taichou-chan?" "Damn it!"

30 minutes later~

The doors of the 1st Squad barracks flew open and the Kenpachi Zaraki could be seen pelting it down the corridors to the meeting room where all the other captains had been for at least 40 minutes, the old man glared at him forcing him to apologize and fall into line in between the midget captain and the long white haired captain he then heard Gunshin's voice reverberate inside his mind "you should at least remember their names Kenpachi Hitsugaya-san and Ukitake-san" he snorted earning another glare from the head captain and a tut from the stuck up noble "Don't you mean Kuchiki-san?"He sighed and started shifting from foot-to-foot and zoning out the old man's voice.

It was coming up towards the end of the meeting and Kenpachi was itching to scrap and try out his shikai which Gunshin had given him permission to use but only on strong opponents as she didn't want to deal with small fries "Zaraki-Taichou" a voice snapped him out of his thoughts and he turned to see the noble captain of Squad 6 "what Kuchiki?" the noble scowled at him "I find your lack of respect disturbing" Kenpachi grinned "and? Whatcha gonna do about it?" fingering the hilt of his sword "Hmph, a man who does not know the name of his own zanpaktou is not worthy of challenging me" Kenpachi grin only got wider "Well that would be fine if I didn't know the name of my zanpaktou wouldn't it."

All of the captain's eyes widened, had they really heard him correctly "Zaraki do you mean to tell me you and your zanpaktou have already come to an understanding" he nodded his head in recognition to the statement "would you introduce us then to your shikai" Kenpachi thought about it "If you're going to show them our power do it outside I don't want to be the reason the first division needed to be re-housed" came Gunshin's bored tone and he let loose a bark of laughter startling the other captains and he bellowed "If I have to wait a hundred years or more I will wait for someone who my Zanpaktou thinks is worthy enough, the and only then will I release it's power!" while walking towards his barracks.

55 years later~

5 Ryouka had just entered the soul society to rescue the prisoner, Kuchiki's sister but that wasn't important he was flanked by his third and fifth seat grinning manically "finally someone worthy of challenging me right?" "Of course how could I be wrong I cannot wait to test my power against this ryouka-kun, his zanpaktou seems powerful enough to challenge us but promise me you will carefully Kenpachi" he grinned "Ha! I don't do promises!"

The thrill of the hunt was on!

"Are you the one?" he ghost over the orange-headed Shinigami making him freeze and tell his friends to go on the orangette scowled "Who the hell are you!"

Kenpachi unsheathed Gunshin and held her aloft with that manic grin spread across his face "My name is Kenpachi Zaraki, Captain of Squad 11 and this is my zanpaktou Gunshin… Now then entertain us brat~"
