Once again: nothing about Bleach was my idea.
Location:Central Great Underground Prison...Muken
Unohana's hair was unbraided and as it fell around her shoulders, a visible scar was revealed just above her bosom. She squinted and lowered her eyelids into a more menacing form. One that showed sadness. Or pleasure. The present Captain of the Eleventh didn't know.
That was something that gave Zaraki 'Kenpachi' chills.
"You know, you're not really the Kenpachi. No one was." said Unohana in a playful manner. "So, do you mind if I simply call you Captain Zaraki? Or just Zaraki? Which do you prefer?"
Zaraki grinned madly and said with his cracked voice, "I've never been one for the 'Captain' shit Yachiru. You of all people should know this."
The name stung, she couldn't lie. It brought back memories of suffering and blood-lust. It was salt on an open wound. She really didn't want to fight.
"Over a thousand years of healing and living in tranquility gone for what reason? All I wanted was a peaceful life as Unohana Retsu. A peaceful life with my family. A complete life that didn't make me feel empty. But in a way, I did life long enough to enjoy life. I got married, had kids, made friends. But what did you do? You're still the same from when you were a child. Violent and Bloodthirsty. And foolish" said Yachiru Unohana with a smirk.
When she mentioned that she was happily married, Zaraki felt blood boil in him. He had always loved her and looked up to her with both admiration and respect. But of course, so did everyone.
Everyone at some point had a crush on Retsu. She is widely known throughout the Soul Society for being beautiful, elegant, and the kindest person anyone has ever met. Even the Souls in the Rukongai deeply admired the Captain that often wandered around and usually conversed with others.
But, she was taken away from her adoring fans by the unruly mad scientist. Even Jushiro Ukitake and Kroyaku Shunsui tried to impress her.
But Kroyaku tries to impress everyone and win over every girl he sees.
(back to the fight)
Unohana stood up straighter with more confidence displaying in her than the past thousand years. She was prepared to fight.
I must find a way to stop this madness without getting hurt.
Retsu understood the anger Urahara would have if he discovered that Kenpachi ever bruised her. There would be no mercy.
'If he gets angered, he will not hold back. His exile is so close to being forgiven. If he does something, anything, that goes against the Thirteen Court Guard Squads...
It would happen all over again. Jinta. Ururu, Tessai. Yoruichi...Kisuke. All of them would be exiled all over again. And since I am now married to him, they would completely ban me from seeing any of them. At least Shunsui is the new Head-Captain. He would be on my sid-'
"Hey! Pay attention. Or am I too boring for you? If so, then let's get on with the fight Yachiru." cracked Zaraki, interrupting her thoughts.
"Indeed I was quite bored. You say I was not paying attention yet you did not move either. That much I did notice."
"Heh. Ya' sure as hell got a way of ticking me off. I think it's the way you've acted perfect all these years. I've seen what you've done. It's not perfect. It's a work of art. The blood. The gore. You've fuckin' done it all. And ya' gave all that up to live in your own fantasy world with people ya' think consider you a family member. A loved one. Isn't that right?" Kenpachi grinned.
He's gone too far. He knows that. He just wants to see her true self. Her own monsters.
"Y-you..." Unohana was shocked. She continued to tell herself it was the truth though.
"Let me ask ya' something. Your 'dear' husband...Does he think you're a freak? Does he really love ya'? Or is it the fear that's lyin' to you? Because it seems like every damn time I see ya', you reek of blood. Is he so scared of ya' that he feels forced to love. A. Demon?"
She just stood there. Still. Silent. Feeling manipulated and alone.
And telling herself it was all true.
It's a little short to me. A few Chapters after this though, and we will be focusing on the past events...
I purposely changed Kenpachi's way of saying 'you' and occasionally he switches back and forth. I think it makes him more teasing and uncaring. From which, depending on the situation, he is.
