Kenpachi had been laying there, taking his afternoon nap peacefully. But, then again this is the 11th division, so peace is never long lasting. Kenpachi felt that rule again when his daughter landed hard on his stomach.

"Ken-chan! Wake up and come see!" she shouted. He groaned and sat up.

"What do I have to see now?" he asked, rather sleepily.

"Shiko-chan is fighting Baldy and beating him baad!" she reported. His eyes widened the slightest bit.

She's beating him?

He got up and walked with Yachiru. As he walked in to the room he saw Ikkau hit the wall. Toshiko stood there, watching him lie there.

"C'mon Ikkau-san, can't you try harder? I wasn't even at my full power." she said to him.

"Che, you think I'm already giving up? Guess again!" he shouted as he lunged at her. She blocked the attack with one hand and threw off. Kenpachi stepped to the side and Ikkau went past him and out of the room, stopping when he hit the wall. Toshiko then noticed Kenpachi and walked up to him.

"Taicho, can I fight you? Yumichika-san and Ikkau-san are waaay to easy." she said.

"You want to fight me?" he asked in slight surprise. She nodded to him. He chuckled under his breath.

"Maybe another time, when your stronger." he said waving his hand at her. She put a hand on her hip.

"Oh? To me it sounds like your scared that your gonna lose." she said, taunting him. Kenpachi's eye slightly twitched.

" You think I'm scared of losing to you?" he said, raising a hairless eyebrow. She got closer to him and put her face in his. He could smell the scent of vanilla and strawberry on her light breath. He would know what smell it was, is was his favorite scent.

"Yes, yes I do." she said,a smirk on her face. She pulled away and looked at him. He sighed.

"You're a stubborn one aren't you? If you want to fight that bad I'll let you." he said."

"Yay! I'm going to fight taicho!" she said happily.

"Don't go crying if you get hurt though." he warned.

"Same to you." she said, smiling happily.

Squad 11 members stood around and watched as the two's eyes bore into each other. Her Zanpaktou lay lightly in her fingers, twitching slightly with her pulse. A huge smile crossed Kenpachi's face and he lunged for her. She blocked his attack with one hand and the other went under his chin and slid up and off. He felt chills go up his spine as she did it.

"Che, you got a pretty got reiastu level" he said

"Thank you. I wonder what yours is like." she said as her hand went up and ripped off his eyepatch. His reiastu level sky rocketed and she pounced away.

"Yours is very good too, taicho." she said. He smiled wildly. She moved, barely touching the ground. He blocked her sword with his hand and landed a cut on her cheek. She jumped away and put two fingers up to her wound. She laughed and licked away the blood slowly trickling down her face.

"Your fast taicho, but..."

He felt a arm around him and a point to his throat.

"...not as fast as me." He heard gasps come from Ikkau and Yumichika. He had to admit it, he lost.

"You win, I lose." he said, sheathing his sword. She slowly let go, making sure he wasn't going to pull anything. She walked to his front and looked at him. She smiled.

"Thanks for the great fight! You're waay stronger than what they said!" she reported. He stared at her. She was walking away toward everybody. She stopped at Ikkau and Yumichika.

"You guys need to get stronger." she said to them.

Ikkau stood up and got close to her.

"How do you suppose we do that then?" he asked, getting in her face.

"Train more like taicho does, and maybe you can beat me."she said simply. Kenpachi was shocked at what he was hearing.

Does she admire me? She's acting like I'm almighty or something...

He felt a weight on his back. Yachiru looked at him.

"I can't believe Shiko-chan beat you!" she said, eyes wide in surprise.

"Don't remind me. That I got beat. By a girl." He said, shaking his head.

He felt a finger lift his head up. He was now staring into her big, brown eyes and honestly, he was enchanted by them. She had a little pout on her face and Kenpachi couldn't help thinking that it was kinda cute.

"Don't feel down taicho. It's fine if you lose, no matter what gender the person is." she said

"Easy for you to say.." he muttered.

"I thought I was going to lose actually." She told him. He didn't know what to was in complete shock.

Is she kidding with me? Or, trying to make me happy?

"Luck was just on my side for this one." she said, smiling at him.

This woman, is smiling at me. And, it's a true smile, of happiness. But, why? Why isn't she frightened by me? What is she?

She stretched out and yawned.

"I'm going to take a little nap." she said, walking inside. It was quiet for a moment then everybody returned to being tested inside by Yumichika and Ikkau. He then felt a poke on his cheek.

"Shiko-chan and you are a lot alike, Ken-chan." she said.

"How?" he asked.

You're each really strong and love to fight." she said to him.

"I guess." he said. She studied him. She could see he was going into thought about something and sighed

"I'm going to watch them fight m'kay?" she said hopping down. Kenpachi didn't hear her and kept on thinking. He started to walk inside.

This woman is strong...really strong. She's not scared of me though. Why? Why is she acting the way she does?

He was soon in his bedroom again, but didn't resume his nap. He sat there, head in his hands, thinking.

She's making me act weird. I blushed over her! But, why? Why is she like this?

His eyes suddenly widened.

She can't. No, she can't be making me... fall in love...
