The Lazy Death God

by makoto x chelia

For young Fusanosuke, life as a Shinigami is exhausting. Between fighting Hollows, crazy captains who wish to either kill him, experiment on him, or downright dislike him, he has to survive in this crazy world with the few friends he does have, and face the darkness that haunts his past.

2. Chapter 2

Hello, and welcome to the next chapter!

Absolute Mirage; Thanks! I am glad that you did! Yeah, it is going to be quite interesting as it is quite different to the ones in the series. Yeah, I have some good ideas with the Quincy girls, and when you put Giselle, I had forgotten that little fact about her, but I always see Giselle as a girl anyway, hehe~ And thanks!

Linkonpark100; Heh, imagine that, he'd have lots of sex, huh. Well, I've always loved Bleach, and only recently got round to doing it, but it wont effect the other stories I have.

Shirone; Thanks!

Blackmoon FierceGods 15; Thanks, I'm glad that you liked it. I will try and make it good, as I do with my other stories. Yeah, it is quite interesting and has some unique characters as well.

Harem Master123; Thanks! Yeah, Kenpachi is quite intent with doing many things with Fusanosuke, as for why will be revealed in the future fully. Yes, it is going to be that, and awesome suggestions!

DocSlendy; Thank you! Yeah, there is actually a reason why he is like what he is like, and why he seems similar to Shunsui, though maybe not in the way most would expect. Yeah, the backstory to that will be revealed as the chapters go, and why Kenpachi is quite obsessed with it. Those girls are awesome ones, and have little development in the main story besides recent chapters for Nanao and little for Isane at all, so I could make interesting ones for them girls. I can imagine one of those doing it, Soi Fon most likely, but Nanao could do something like that as well.

Naroku; Huh, I didn't even realize you had been waiting for it, but I'm glad that you like it. I looked it up before writing it, and it said Fuku-taichou was Japanese for lieutenant, even confirming that when I typed in Bleach Fuku-taichou, so it is Fuku. I know Fuka is a name, but I don't think it has any connections with Bleach as far as I am aware. Rukia is pretty popular, as is surprisingly Tatsuki as well.

ShadowUzumaki55; Well, it was three weeks since I put the poll so, that's how it turned out to be. Yeah, there is several reasons why that is, which will be revealed as the chapters go on. Heh, Kenpachi surely is someone who will never give up if he finds someone worthy of fighting him. It is a harem, people seemed to get confused on that, and those suggestions are awesome~

Ragna; Those are cool, and unique ones. Didn't expect to see Bambietta but she is quite cute, even if quite nuts, so I would work with that.

Soul; It is one, don't worry. And love the suggestions, they are pretty cool~

Guest 1; Thanks, glad that you do! And it is, love the suggestions!

Coldblue; Those two are quite popular, which surprised me abit. Yeah, trust me, he will have some quite borderline dangerous, yet unique relationships with some females, one being shown with Soi Fon in this chapter alone. Yeah, he's quite strong. He couldn't defeat someone like Yamamoto, but in the future, it will be shown what strength level he's on, it has to be high for Kenpachi's interest in him, right?

Mr Beaver Buttington; I didn't expect the first one, honestly. The rest are cool, Nemu is actually a fav of mine as well.

Guest 2; Awesome!

Skull Flame; Yeah, I thought why not. Eeh, maybe in the far future, but I haven't watched/read One Piece in quite sometime, so I am behind on such things. Yeah, he's quite laid back, but can become very serious when the situation demands for it. Yeah, the same is something I found to be cool, long, yet having cool nicknames as well, so I thought it fit perfectly. Yeah, those two captains have certain...something's for him, both having different yet equally frightening reasons why they want to do things to him. Hehe, it seems both Yachiru and Kenpachi have a Fusa sense and are able to locate him anywhere, which is shown in this chapter. Yeah, there is a reason why he doesn't like using his Zanpakuto, I wont reveal why just yet, it could be one of those ideas you proposed, or it could be something else entirely. Basically, yeah I need a name, but I've got the abilities down. Just need a good name. Actually, that's kinda a mistake on my part, I thought it was clear, but some seem to have thought that it isn't while some did, but I can confirm that it is a harem fic. And thank you!

Hellspam; An older Karin could be interesting. I've always liked Karin as a character, and her being a focus in the story would be good. Heck, even Yuzu as well. And yeah, those things are going to be cool to see.

Guest 3; Yeah, Nemu is quite the cutie, isn't she? And I really like her as well.

Neonlight01; Yeah, he pretty much is, but also does have a serious side, which is shown this chapter slightly, and you aren't wrong, them together is...something alright. There is a deeper reason for why he doesn't want to become lieutenant which will be explored later on in the story. That's a cool sounding name. Sado...would be scary, no fooling. And yeah, those suggestions are pretty cool.

Guest 4; Ah, maybe in the future~

Thank you everyone for the lovely reviews, now onto the chapter!

The strangeness of life

"Eeeh, why do I have to do this again?"

"Because I'm Third Seat, and you're not. Even though I'm like this, I actually have some pull sometimes, you know? You might not be apart of Squad Five, but I'm also someone important, or at least that's what people tell me sometimes, so you have to do as I say hehe~"

Fusanosuke replied with a playful tone as he looked upwards at the face that was looking down at him.

Before his eyes was a girl, that looked around the same age as he was. This girl was petite, he guessed even more so than Momo though he never really bothered to check. Purple eyes gazed back at him as she moved some strands of her beautiful black hair out of her eyes, addressing Fusanosuke with a tired expression on her face, clearly not amused by the current situation.

"But that's totally unfair. You cannot pull rank like that, Fusa...eeh, I suppose I should say Third Seat, but you'll always be that fool I know so I'm not going to refer to you as something like 'Third Seat' now, am I?"

"Yeah...right now, your lap is Heaven, I wont deny these things. Since Momo-chan has denied me and abandoned me for the day as she doesn't want to give me a lap pillow, I have to use your lap right now, Rukia-chan. Rangiku-sans has been taken away from me, and you're the only girl that will do this...hmmmm, maybe Ise-fuku-taichou would do it if I begged...but besides her...ooh, Isane-san might do it as well and Kurotsuchi-fuku-taichou could be a possibility as well if her messed up Taichou isn't around...but I couldn't really ask them, as they are Fuku-taichou's and I'm not sure on some of them...aah well, you will have to do, Rukia-chan. Even if you're kinda small, you're adorable, and have nice thighs. You've got the best lap in Soul Society, on par with Momo-chan!"

That was his reply as he snuggled against her lap, looking at the vastness of the courtyard of the Thirteenth Squad, praising Ukitake for the beauty of the courtyard in question.

Since it was a typical day in the Soul Society, he was pretty much ducking some of his responsibilities, while ducking a certain blood thirsty captain as well. Since he didn't feel like getting butchered by Kenpachi, he thought it would be best to go somewhere else, somewhere that he wouldn't think of going, and that was th Squad Thirteen's barracks, where he is right now, laying on Rukia's lap, but that was after the assignment he had before, which was now over, thankfully in his eyes.

"Why are you using my lap anyway? What about Hinamori-fuku-taichou's lap? You said something about her denying you?"

Rukia wore astonished eyes as his own eyes became slightly wet.

"Yeah...Momo-chan kinda got angry before, and I think she might've banned me from using her lap. We had our first fight in like years. We almost never fight, yet she's suddenly yelled at me, it made me feel upset."

"Geez, that's too sensitive for someone like you."

Rukia noted with a sly grin on her face, but couldn't help but wonder what the fight they had was about.

"I know, it just shows how depressed I really am, so I could use lap time with Rukia-chan, who's thighs are amazing. Even if you've got small breasts and you've got a naturally small body-"

"Are you trying to piss me off by stating my shortcoming's? If so, you can remove your head right now."

Rukia was stern about this, she wasn't going to let it go, as to her, it sounded as if he was insulting her, when that wasn't the case in the slightest, as he naturally is blunt, something that he shouldn't be...as it does get him into trouble from time to time.

"Not at all, Rukia-chan. I like those qualities about you. It makes you unique, and cute as well."

Rukia smiled, and innocently tapped him on the top of the head, just hard enough for him to release an "Ow!" which made Rukia giggle slightly.

"Don't bother flirting with me, it isn't going to work with me."

"Hmph, if that's how you think of me, then you don't know me. I would flirt better than that."

Rukia wasn't sure if he was being truthful or not, as even she didn't know when he was flirting, or just being a genuine guy...but she always had to wonder how he got her to allow him to rest his head on her thighs.

"You know, the only reason I'm not kicking you in the head right now is because of what happened before. If that didn't happen, you wouldn't be getting something like this from me."

It was as if she was trying to convince herself at this moment in time, placing the blame on him, rather than anything else, convincing herself that it was his fault that she was the one that allowed him to rest his head on her lap.

"Hehe, that's why I am kind and awesome, in the respect that I happen to come and kick butt when people need it then go back into the shadows and rest my sleepy eyes. I saved you from that dangerous Hollow before, didn't I? That was something good, wasn't it Rukia-chan?"

Rukia couldn't rebuke what he was saying, accepting it as a fact instantly.

"That's right...I guess. I could've handled it myself, but it caught me by surprise...speaking of, why were you even in that part of the Soul Society anyway? I thought Squad Five had some big mission today. Or, was I mistaken?"

"It isn't like you are, but I finished my work early, and went for a walk, that's all. I mean, I don't make it a habit to walk around the Soul Society, but ever since Kenpachi-taichou's declaration that I've now got to join Squad Eleven or he's going to end my life when we have our 'deciding battle', I am trying my best to avoid him, though it is difficult...he seems to always know where I am...even now, I can sense his Reiatsu that is slowly coming this way, bending and turning into directions along with Fuku-taichou Yachiru-chan."

Rukia allowed a smirk to appear on her face as she flicked him in the forehead.

"Yeah, you've got a male stalker, and a Taichou at that. That must be the best, right?"

Sending a small joke his way, Fusa wasn't amused, and patted her on the lap, igniting a small flush on her cheeks as his fingers unintentionally patted a certain...area that she'd like to keep private.

"That's not the half of it, trust me. I've also got a Taichou that wants to dissect me because he is a massive freak. And don't even get me started on that Gin guy...ugh, he gives me massive amounts of creeps. I really don't like him...there's something off about him, and I can't put my finger on it."

He forgone saying anything about Aizen for various reasons, and the fact he didn't have any real reason, but did have a bad feeling when looking at the guy. He knew that saying bad things about his own captain would warrant some kind of punishment, at least that's how he saw it.

Though Rukia wouldn't say it out loud, she would have to agree with him on that, believing the same, but due to the fact that she wasn't even a seated officer at this point, if she said anything, then she would be in massive amounts of trouble. Fusanosuke on the other hand was a seated officer, with slightly, very slightly, more freedoms than she had.

"Don't say such things, fool. They'll hear you, and you'll end up getting disciplined...and could you also not pat me right there again and could you move now? If you do, I will have to hit you right there as well. I've heard males are weak there, can I test it out?"

Unusual for the Shinigami girl, she showed a smile that made Fusa think of Kenpachi for a few seconds, before he complied, removing his hand from the area, putting it on his stomach, but gave a refusal shake of his head at moving.

"No...I wont move...but like Rukia-chan, why didn't you tell me?"

"Tell you what exactly?"

Rukia didn't know what he was talking about, so he sat up, and faced her with a semi serious (for him) look on his face, something that went against everything he had said, with his moving from her lap, drawing a blank confused face from the female Shinigami.

"You're going to the human world, aren't you, Rukia-chan?"

"Human world? What are you talking about? I'm not going to the human world, as far as I know anyway."

Appearing to be genuinely confused by the sentence, Rukia begged for an answer which he happily gave, all the while pouring tea which seemingly appeared there as if by magic, both for him and Rukia.

Rukia looked at the tea, and raised an eyebrow.

"Where did that come from?"

Changing the subject quickly, she asked this as a curious brow was raised.

"Ugh, didn't you put it there?"

He expressed his thoughts, with his eyes turning to questioning.

"No, I didn't put it there..."

Rukia shook her head as she said this, drawing a blank look from Fusanosuke.

"Wow, thats magical...anyway. Back to what we were talking about. Yeah, I happened to catch a glimpse of the Shinigami being sent to the human world when Aizen-taichou was looking at it with another Taichou, and saw that your name was on it. I assumed that you were in on this idea, plan, whatever it is called, was I wrong in assuming this?"

Rukia nodded once to what he said, as she accepted the tea he gave her, giving a small "Thank you." as gratitude, something Fusanosuke waved his hand at as she continued the conversation.

"I had no idea. Am I being transferred to the human world now? I thought that I would..."

Rukia trailed off, unsure if she liked the idea of going to the human world, and leaving behind what she knew, her friends and other aspects included as well. Seeing the face she wore, Fusanosuke smiled softly, not liking the look that appeared on her face, believing that it shouldn't be there at all.

"From what I read, it wasn't a permanent thing." He explained, taking a sip to Rukia's hope. "From what I remember, it said...eeeh, for a month, in some town called...Karakura town in that country of Japan. I think I've been there before, it isn't that bad."

"Really? You've been to this place?"

He confirmed it with a single nod of his head, and continued on after her.

"Yes...eeh, I can't remember when, maybe a few years ago now, but I remember going to that place and meeting someone there as well who could see me despite being a human, some girl that names escaped me. Karakura sounds to be familiar at least, so I know I've been there before...but don't worry Rukia-chan, you get a month away from this place, and fighting what, small Hollows. For someone like you, I'm sure that it would be interesting to say the least. It wont be difficult. You're very strong for someone unseated. Actually, I wager you're Fuku-taichou level, but that's my personal opinion and that doesn't seem to account to much around here hehe~"

"I suppose...hmmm, do you know when I'm going, exactly?"

She proded for more information, so she could prepare herself.

Fusanosuke shrugged his shoulders, taking another sip of tea.

"In the next few months I suppose. It was an advanced list, so it could be a few months into the future. I wouldn't worry about it for now, I'm sure your Taichou will give you the details when you need it."

"I see, so that's the case. Yes...I'm sure Taichou will inform me when it is known publicly. Though I'm glad, for you telling me, it is a nice thing that you did for me, so thanks for that."

Rukia bowed her head respectfully, giving her sincere smile as a thank you for what he had said to her, giving her this information ahead of time.

While he was someone she could call friend, she couldn't forget the fact that he was also someone high up in Squad Five. Though he wasn't a lieutenant, most that didn't know just assumed that to be the case, and for Rukia, she held him on the same level as a lieutenant level Shinigami.

"It's not a problem really. But...are you going to tell your..."

"That person wouldn't want me to waste time in conversing such trivial information anyway, so there is no point in saying anything, though I am sure that the person is aware of such things if you're aware."

Rukia stated coldly, almost no hint of emotions within her voice, making Fusanosuke wince slightly at the tone she used.

"I see, so you're still on those kind of terms, huh."

"We've never been on speaking terms, and I highly doubt we will be either. It is complicated, and I am unsure if it is ever going to be anything more than that. Sometimes it baffles me why I was accepted into the Kuchiki clan...though I suppose it is due to..."

Rukia's coldness could even be felt by Fusanosuke as she trailed off, who decided to lighten the mood a little bit, and adopted a teasing face.

"Geez, Rukia-chan. This isn't your Shikai at work, is it?"

"Huh? What are you talking about, all of a sudden?"

He chuckled deeply, folding his arms as he inched closer once placing the cup down onto the patio, drawing confusion from the raven haired Shinigami.

"The cold waves you're emitting from your body. It is like your Shikai...speaking of..." Faster than Rukia could notice, Fusa took her Zanpakuto and unsheathed it, standing up as he did a pose. "Dance for me you sexy sword, Sode no Shirayuki! Come out baby, and lets freeze everybody with your beautiful whiteness that's awesome and amazing and so beautiful that I could weep from seeing you!"

Though he was joking, Rukia looked offended and went to reach for her sword, exclaiming "Give it back!" in a gravelly voice, but Fusa danced away from her, spinning around, attempting to 'release' her Zanpakuto.

"I'm not joking Fusa! Give me back Sode no Shirayuki!"

"Hmmmm, no."

He replied with a deadpan tone, irking Rukia quite abit, a tick mark by her forehead as she was tempted to use Kido right there and then, but knew that she had to hold herself back for the moment, least of all to make sure that she wasn't told off for destroying things.

"What do you mean no!?"

Rukia's rage was becoming higher and higher, barely able to contain it any longer.

"I mean, Sode no Shirayuki and I have developed a relationship." He chuckled out, then patted the blade sensually. "Whats that Sode no Shirayuki-chan? I know, our love is amazing. But we can't be together, it would be wrong. I mean, you're a sword, and I'm a soul. Even if you're a very beautiful Zanpakuto, our love cannot flourish. No no, please don't ask me to marry you Sode no Shirayuki...it can't happen...even though I would of course say yes...you can become my Zanpakuto wifey for lifey...after lifey at that..."

Rukia, watching all of this raised very questioning eyebrows, not quite believing what was happening.

"You're very insane."

Rukia deadpanned as some tears filled his orbs.

"This is what I'm like when I've not had twenty hours of sleep! I've been awake for...six hours now, and this is me..."

Rukia stepped back slightly, seeing the bags under his eyes, indicating that he was in fact exhausted.

"D-Damn...so, this is you without twenty hours of sleep...so that's how it is, is it? Aah, it doesn't matter, I find it quite funny how you're coming onto my Zanpakuto...speaking of, give it me back!"

"Hehe, you'll have to catch me~"

He chuckled as Rukia lunged forward, but Fusanosuke dodged the Shinigami girl, avoiding the lunge and took off around the courtyard, with Rukia giving chase with flailing her arms around.

He ran around for a minute or so, Rukia chasing after him when suddenly he stopped, Rukia doing the same and faced the shorter Shinigami with a shit eating grin on his face.

"Say, Rukia-chan? Why don't you activate your Shikai right now? I think Sode no Shirayuki is very beautiful. It is regarded as one of the most, if not the most, beautiful blades in the Soul Society. So I think it could be cool, no pun intended, if you released your Zanpakuto."

"No, I'm not releasing my blade. Now give it back."

She ordered sternly, her cold expression showing such a scary face, something Fusanosuke chuckled at deeply, slightly liking the face that she had on, seeing it as quite a funny thing.

"You know, you're very cute when you're angry. If you keep up such an angry face, I might seriously fall in love."

Rukia blushed a little bit, yet wore a stern face, shaking her head from side to side, denying what he had just said.

"D-Don't be foolish all of a sudden and give me my blade back! I'm only asking this one before I start using Kido on you! Powerful Kido at that! Maybe even level 70's Kido! It will be a Hado as well so you know how destructive that is! A Hado with incantation will be what you're met with if you do not relinquish my blade!"

Threatening him with a dangerous Kenpachi like smirk on her face, Fusa curled his body in a fake frightened look.

"Ara ara, you're being quite aggressive right now, Rukia-chan. Could it be that you're really going to attack one of your super best friends who is also something of a confidant to you, Rukia-chan?"

"You know, it is kind of annoying when you say such things."

Rukia stated with a coldness in her tone that most would know that she wasn't messing around now, and she was going to go forward with a mentality that she was ready to attack.

"It's okay to be annoying if you get what you want. And I want Sode no Shirayuki to dance for me! So now, Dance Sode no Shirayuki!" He did a little spin, and for a second, Rukia thought that he had succeeded as a thin whitish ribbon appeared on the hilt, but it was seemed to be that Fusa placed it on their with his speed. "Gosh darn, seems like Sode no Shirayuki hasn't danced for me. It is the same with Momo-chan's Tobiume...it didn't Snap for me."

"You tried to use Hinamori-fuku-taichou's Zanpakuto?"

Rukia with astonishment, went to question, Fusanosuke nodding as if it the most simplest things in the world.

"Yeah, that's right. I thought that it would be fine if I did something like that. But it didn't Snap for me...hehe, funny. Snap...that's her release command, yet Momo-chan is the most lovely girl ever that she wouldn't ever snap like that...unless something devastating ever happened to her, which it wont, because I simply wont allow such things to happen."

"Heh...that's because you're in love with Hinamori-fuku-taichou~"

Rukia teased, using a singsong voice, which drew a small blush onto Fusanosuke's face, becoming flustered at Rukia's provocative words.

"N-No I don't, idiot! Don't ever say such things again! I'm not in love with her at all!"

Hearing his reply, Rukia couldn't help but adopt a teasing smirk on her face, enjoying the fact that she had made him flustered like he was, something that rarely happened, but when it did, was something good in her eyes.

"Fueee, it seems you're getting riled up a little bit, Fusa. Could it be that you're trying to deny that huge crush you have on her?"

"I-I don't even have a crush on her." He denied, though there was still a small flush on his cheeks. "S-She's just my Fuku-taichou, after all. That's all she is to me, a friend, a commander, whatever you wanna call her, but that's what she is. N-Now shut up...and make your Zanpakuto dance for me..."

"N-No! Just give it me back, Fusanosuke!"

Fusanosuke chuckled a little bit, and swung around the blade, before chucking it back to Rukia.

"Have it then, Rukia-chan."

"D-Don't throw it like that!" Exclaimed Rukia as she caught the sword by the handle, barely missing the blade. "Geez, you could've cut me then, do you want to cut me? That's something you shouldn't do!"

Fusanosuke rolled his eyes at her yell, and yawned a little bit as his eyes briefly went towards a wall, then back to Rukia after lingering on the wall for a few seconds, something Rukia didn't notice as she was still seething.

"Well, that's my activities for the day. I'm gonna go and find somewhere to go and sleep. See ya Rukia-chan."

"H-Huh? It isn't even time for night yet...then again, I shouldn't expect anything different, should I?"

Fusanosuke shook his head, and dashed behind her so fast that she didn't see his movements, only feeling a hand on the top of her head, petting her head softly on the head, while ruffling her hair.

"See you later, Rukia-chan. Gotta go because he's right behind me, he's coming! Kenpachi-taichou is coming!"

"F-Fool!"

Rukia quickly went to hit Fusanosuke behind her, but he Flashed Stepped out of there, leaving Rukia with her thoughts, thoughts of annoyance on her face, something that she usually had when it was Fusanosuke, but at the same time, she couldn't really hate him, even if he did something amazingly stupid, due to their past.

However, she wasn't alone for very long, as within a minute, Kenpachi around with a heavy stomp onto the ground, Yachiru appearing on his shoulder as the pair looked around, completely disregarding the cowering Rukia, who was completely taken over by the mass of power that eradicated from Kenpachi's body.

"Ken-chan! Blondie Bear was here, I know he was!" Yachiru informed, taking in big whiffs with her nose. "I can smell the scent of chocolate chip cookies and sake! Blonde Bear was here!"

"You're right, I can smell the same. He was here, but he escaped my clutches. Damn that Fusanosuke, he keeps running away when he should accept that we're going to cross blades. Even if I have to follow him forever, he's going to submit and face me."

"Yay! That's the best Ken-chan! Lets force Blondie Bear to fight then become apart of Squad Eleven!"

"Kekekekeke, that's the plan, Yachiru. We'll get him into the squad, even if I have to cut off some limbs so he can't run away."

As Yachiru and Kenpachi discussed this, scaring Rukia from just hearing it and how Kenpachi sounded as if he was going to amputate some limbs from Fusanosuke, Rukia's mind was able to allow some thoughts to come to her.

"Fuku-taichou and Zaraki-taichou...are able to detect Fusa by scent alone...I don't know if that's genius on their part, or the fact that they've been following after him for so long that they can now detect him by scent...how scary, for Fusa to have to deal with these people...being this close is enough to nearly crush my soul...but from what I have heard, Fusa can fight this behemoth without having to show signs of being crushed with Reiatsu alone..."

Rukia's eyes flickered open and closed as her body tried to get used to the immense Reiatsu that Kenpachi was leaking, but she didn't even have much time to get used to it either as Yachiru noticed that she was standing there, and went to question her.

"Hey Ru-chan! Do you know where Blondie Bear is right now?"

"O-Oh...eeh...I erm..."

She didn't want to sell out her friend, even if she was frightened to her core. She knew or at least suspected that if Kenpachi did find him, he was going to do something that while he wouldn't regret, something that most would consider inhumane and downright sadistic.

"You, Kuchiki."

Kenpachi called to the fear of Rukia.

"Y-Yes Zaraki-taichou...?"

She whimpered out, unsure if this was where she was going to meet her end.

"Where did he go?"

More than asking, Kenpachi was downright ordering Rukia.

Her nervous hand pointed in a direction that wasn't far off where Fusanosuke had disappeared, if her senses didn't play tricks on her.

"Th-That way..."

Even though she hated doing it, she felt like she had too. Kenpachi wasn't the forgiving type, and if he found out that she was lying, then he could split her in half with his sword, something he wouldn't even care about doing, even if she is apart of the Kuchiki clan, it didn't matter to Kenpachi as a opponent was an opponent, even 'weak' ones like Rukia.

Kenpachi looked towards the area she had pointed, and sniffed the air, Yachiru doing the same.

"It smells like he went that way to me Ken-chan. Ru-chan wouldn't like about such things, since she's scared of you hehehehehehe~"

Giggling like a child, it made Rukia feel afraid, very afraid indeed of the smaller girl. Even though she appeared as a little girl, she wasn't the lieutenant for nothing, and there had to be a reason, which Rukia suspected to be because she is a Master fighter, something he didn't want to find out.

Kenpachi also confirmed it with a nod.

"She was telling the truth after all. Okay, let us go Yachiru."

"Yes yes! Lets get Blondie Bear!"

Nodding at one another, Yachiru gripped Kenpachi's haori tightly as Kenpachi's large body was lifted from the ground, jumping away with a maniacal grin on his face, at the thought of facing off against Fusanosuke.

Rukia was left alone within the courtyard, her eyes trembling, with the rest of her body. She couldn't even begin to think about it, and how she had come close to dying, in her opinion that is.

"Sorry Fusa..." She apologized, feeling crappier and crappier. "...I couldn't stand up to Taichou...he's too powerful for someone like me...that's too much for someone of my standing..."

Rukia couldn't help but feel bad at this moment in time. Of course she didn't want to get Fusanosuke dead, but she also didn't want to die either. She tossed it up in her mind, and thought that since he's always running from Kenpachi, Kenpachi was going to find him somehow anyway and he would be able to escape like he usually did.

Unknown to Rukia, behind the wall that Fusanosuke was looking at before he left, there was a single person there, shrouded in darkness. Without conveying words to themselves, or even thinking about it, the figure disappeared after witnessing the confrontation (if it could be called that) with Rukia and Kenpachi plus Yachiru.

Along the streets of the Seireitei, Fusanosuke walked along, greeting some lower classed Shinigami. Unlike some who thought there would be no point, he always greeted people, even if he didn't know them, something that had stuck with him since he was young.

Along the way, he caught sight of someone that he knew personally, so he went to go and greet that person.

"Ara ara, Renji-kun, it has been awhile."

Before him was a young man of slightly bigger than average height, being slightly taller than Fusa himself with fiery crimson hair that was tied back into a ponytail that looked like a pineapple. Decorating most of his body was tribal like tattoos, including that of his forehead.

The young man cast his brown eyes towards Fusanosuke, a small smirk appearing on his face as he also greeted.

"Damn, it's been awhile, Fusa."

"Yeah, I suppose it has. Just come back from a mission."

Fusanosuke agreed and asked at the same time, rubbing his eyes and a yawn escaped his lips at the same time as he saw that Renji looked to be slightly messed up, not the usual look to him, noticing some dirt marks on his clothes.

"Yeah, just came back from the human world, actually. There was some Hollows there causing a messy business, but my Zabimaru and I were able to cut them down without a hitch."

"Ah, I see. Zabimaru is a good blade to have. It is good at mowing down the enemy, isn't it? I vaguely remember a time where we worked together, and you used your Shikai in doing such things."

Renji smiled at the praise his blade, and he also, got from Fusanosuke.

"Aye, it is good for doing such things. Though I couldn't hold a candle in Kido to you. You can mix spells together in weird yet explosive combinations that it is hard to understand how you do these things."

Renji thought it be best to be polite, since Fusanosuke was being polite, and complimented him on his Kido skills. Since Renji hadn't really ever seen Fusanosuke fight seriously with his blade before, it remained a mystery to him what Fusanosuke could really do with his sword, or what kind of ability his Shikai had.

"Well, I did use it to become Third Seat, after all. Mostly, my rank is due to my expertise in Kido, though compared to Momo-chan's overall level of Kido, I would say my own is lacking a little bit."

"Hah, I can believe that. Hinamori has always been the best Kido user among our generation, though Rukia isn't a slouch...A-Anyway, you've always been quite the mystery with your Zanpakuto. I know you have Shikai, as Zaraki-taichou told me once...by the way, why did you show him and not me, one of your dear friends?"

Renji faked a hurt face, which earned a chuckle in response by Fusanosuke.

"Kenpachi-taichou has seen my Shikai yes, but he doesn't know what it can do. The only reason he saw it was because there was a mission we were on where I had to release it when we were separated, and when he came back, he saw it, and became interested...though he was interested beforehand in me...I would accuse him of being...a stalker, but I think it is more than and less than that."

"Hmm? What are you saying? I don't get it."

Renji didn't exactly know what Fusanosuke was talking about, so the blonde went to explain.

"You see, Kenpachi-taichou only cares about two things that I know of. One is Yachiru-chan...rather, his Fuku-taichou, and the other is fighting. Honestly, he's the most simple, yet most honest Taichou in the Seireitei. He does what he wants, says "Fuck the consequences!" and goes forth with a simple yet blood thirsty mentality. I respect that about him. Though it is an odd thing to respect, it is something that I quite like about Kenpachi-taichou. If he wasn't trying to attack or kill me all the time, not sure which honestly, he'd actually be someone I would want to call a war buddy, a fighting friend...but when he tries to split me in half with his giant sword, that's when I become frightened."

"Hehe...split you in half...with his giant sword..."

Renji, being in a rare moment of childishness, snickered at what could be classed as an innuendo.

Fusanosuke also caught what he said, and how it could be misconstrued, so he pointed at Renji with a sly grin on his face.

"Mark my words Renji-kun, he'll come after you with his giant sword and shove it right inside of you from the back, going very far, deep inside of you, even to the base of the blade, thrusting inside of you again and again in an attempt to give him massive pleasure...of killing of course."

Renji blinked a few times, before making gargling noises, coughing a few times as well, as Fusanosuke giggled to himself, loving the 'achievement' that he had caused, glad that he could make Renji cough like that.

"D-Don't say such things! It will affect my health!"

"Kukuku, that's something I like doing, you know? Making Renji-kun cry is something that I love doing~"

Fusanosuke chuckled, briefly glancing behind him, seeing something there, but then looked back to Renji, who seemingly recovered in the brief instance that he had looked behind him, and in that time, had adopted a teasing smirk on his face.

"Been catching that damn sheep to sleep, then?"

The chuckling Renji joked as Fusanosuke shrugged his shoulders.

"It is a legit medical condition. If I don't sleep for twenty hours a day, I will die. I even have a doctors note about it."

Fusanosuke withdrew a very badly drawn picture of a doctor handing a note to a badly drawn picture of Fusanosuke, with them both appearing to have rabbit ears and features of a rabbit as well. On the bottom, the name Rukia was written there, indicating that it was Rukia who had drawn it for him.

The pineapple shaped haired man chuckled a deep one, rolling his eyes at the image, knowing full well that it was from Rukia, even if he didn't see the name, able to tell by the rabbit motif.

"Yeah, like it is also a medical condition to not confess to Hinamori, right?"

"What is it about people commenting on Momo-chan's and my nonexistent relationship exactly? There's nothing between me and Momo-chan. It isn't anything that you should be commenting on."

"If that's what you say."

"Tch, you don't get it...but like, I heard a small rumour that you've started going for the Fuku-taichou's seat of Squad Six, is that true?"

Renji was shocked that Fusanosuke knew something like that, when he hadn't told anyone about it.

"You're...how did you even know about that?"

Renji's shocked question didn't escape Fusanosuke's ears as he smirked.

"That's something I can't reveal." He cryptically stated, stretching his limbs outwards. "But, I wouldn't worry. You'll be able to pass them no problem. I saw Momo-chan do it, so I don't see why you wouldn't be able to do it, though being the Fuku-taichou of Squad Sixes Taichou must be something difficult, huh. You're already Fuku-taichou level."

"Yeah, I suppose so. Though I have already resolved myself to best Taichou in the future."

Hearing that, Fusanosuke couldn't see it as a bad dream. Everyone needed to have something to strive for, after all, so he could see why Renji wanted to defeat his captain in a fight. Even he, had something that he wanted to strive for, though no one knows what that thing is, besides a few people.

"No supposing about it, you're strong, and that's a cool goal. Personally, my goal is to find like the best sleeping place in the world, and kill a certain someone. Though, you're not as strong as Momo-chan~"

Renji's eye twitched at that, resting a hand on his swords grip, missing when he said he'd kill someone, in favour of hearing something that he didn't want to hear in the first place.

"What are you saying? I'm just as strong, if not stronger than Hinamori! Are you saying she's got something I haven't?"

"Yes, Momo-chan is the best Fuku-taichou ever...at least, she's the smartest at least, in my humble opinion. She's like a Kido mistress, she's amazing, and oh so adorable. I could melt with her adorable face when it is near my own. I become happy when Momo-chan is around."

"Grrrr! I am stronger than Hinamori!"

Renji couldn't take it, losing control of his temper, something Fusanosuke giggled at, finding it quite funny.

"Hehe, you're really getting frustrated, aren't you? Don't become so unsightly like that, Renji-kun. You'll surely show your true jealous colours if you become angry like that."

"Hmph, just because some of us can't become a Fuku-taichou..."

Renji went to annoy Fusanosuke who waved a hand at him, silencing him.

"It isn't like I can't, it is because I do not want to. I like Squad Five, becoming a Fuku-taichou would mean one of two things. Either leaving the squad itself, or taking it away from Momo-chan, and I don't want to do that, though I'm not sure Aizen-taichou would want me to do something like that anyway."

Rebuking Renji like that, he scrunched up his eyebrows, unable to accept anything about it, and angrily gritting his teeth together, grinding them together at the same time, tempted to get out his Zanpakuto.

"You know, for someone who is friend, you kinda piss me off sometimes."

"Yeah...I get that a lot..." He slowly cast his eyes backwards, seeing something, before nodding to himself, and cast his eyes towards Renji. "Well, if I don't see you before you become Fuku-taichou, congratulations. Gotta go, and do something amazing, probably. I dunno if it is, but that's how it is."

Fusanosuke said it as if Renji was a sure thing, and while being laid back, Fusanosuke had a good grasp on what was happening around him, and could understand most things if he was given a little time to think about it.

"Tch, you damn Bishounen. You should confident that I'll do it."

"Ooh, I think that it is a long time coming, Renji-kun, you damn Bishounen if you're a Bishounen, which I am unsure of but it would make kinda sense why you have some fangirls."

"Wait wait wait. Hold on. You're saying I have fangirls?"

Renji was quite taken by surprise with the new information that came to him, not expecting such things, only to become more confused as Fusanosuke nodded his head a single time.

"Yes, I am surprised that you didn't know, honestly. Some girls in Squad Five go all gaga over you, and I've heard the same in Squad Seven as well. Maybe even some in Squad Six. You're quite popular, you know?"

"Well, if it is some beautiful women, then I can't refuse having some fangirls, can I?"

Saying that with a smirk on his face, Fusanosuke also had a smile on his face.

"While sleeping is more important to me, and finding the perfect lap, but having some fangirls must be nice. I know that I have some, but they are kinda scary, especially that one girl who keeps sending me her panties, moist panties at that..."

"Heh...that would be scary...uugh, that's downright horrifying...I don't want fangirls like that."

Renji agreed with him instantly, seeing how that would've been scary, and was glad that he didn't have a fangirl like that, as far as he was aware.

"Anyway, goodbye Renji-kun. When you become Fuku-taichou, you should definitely tell Rukia-chan. She's missing you, you know?"

Renji held his head down, merely nodding a single time before leaving without saying anything.

As he left, Fusanosuke tipped his head to the side, and then shrugged his shoulders softly, walking in the opposite direction to what Renji walked.

While walking away, Fusanosuke took note of the walls around the Seireitei, seeing many shadows around at the same time, and felt something behind him, which made him feel frightened, so he ran away at top speeds while crying "He's found me again!" in a desperate voice that didn't sound like it belonged to him, being so full of fear.

Once disappearing from sight, it was at that time Kenpachi and Yachiru appeared where Fusanosuke had been standing only a minute ago.

"Damn, again. He's disappeared again."

Kenpachi wore a bitter expression as he had eaten a bug, punching the wall beside him to vent his frustrations, which made the wall, and all subsequent surround walls crumble down to the ground.

"Ooh, Ken-chan, you seem to be displeased right now?"

"Ya damn right I am. He's a fascinating Shinigami. Usually, the qualities he has aren't to my taste. Yet those eyes, the killer instinct he has inside as well. I know it, he's like I am. The laziness he has might seem to be the dominating personality, but I've seen glimpses of the killer inside of him, and I want to face it. Yet he keeps denying the hunger he has for destruction, when he doesn't want to face me. That pisses me off."

"Yeah but Ken-chan, you do threaten to kill him constantly, so maybe that's the reason he doesn't want to fight you..."

Yachiru offered for a rare burst of maturity, something Kenpachi was slightly surprised about, but other than being surprised at her, he still had an annoyed expression on his face.

"That's got nothing to do with this. Real men don't care if they die on the battlefield if they have a good death. By my hands, I would make the death honourable."

In Kenpachi's eyes, that was the best you could hope for, a death of that level. And to Yachiru, it seemed that she shared her captains thoughts on the matter, looking from left to right as she smelled the air for him.

"Uuuuu, this isn't good, Ken-chan. I can't smell him anymore, there is some smoke covering the scent! What if we never find Blondie Bear and he doesn't become Fourth Seat of the squad!? We only have baldy and the other one who has eyelashes like feathers! The others are useless! We need Blondie Bear for the balance!"

"Yeah, I remember Yachiru. I have to find out what that damn Shikai can do. It looked strong, I want to test its strength. We'll just have to follow our instincts, they'll lead the way towards Fusanosuke."

"Yes! Let us speed ahead!"

With a stern nod from Kenpachi, the pair took off in a direction that they thought Fusanosuke was in...and they were right. Even though he was far ahead by now, he was in the direction that they were travelling in.

---

Up ahead, Fusanosuke was fast moving his body, knowing that he was being followed and knew who it was as well, all the while smiling to himself with a cheery grin that was always on his face.

"Gosh...I wonder what's going to happen when I meet up with...her again...knowing her, she's going to get all mad at me and start yelling at me...damn it, I can see it happening...she's going to yell at me..."

He couldn't help but wince at the thoughts.

He was quite not the confrontational person, but he knew that as soon as this girl was going to appear, something was going to happen. If it was a fight, or something else then it was unknown.

From the shadows, someone followed after him. Hopping from one shadow to another, this person stayed out of sight of most people, but Fusanosuke was able to tell instantly that he was being followed, having known for awhile.

Once going around a certain corner, into a darkened area, Fusanosuke leaned against the wall, cast his eyes upwards as a small simper escaped his parted lips, looking at the skies colour, happily smiling to himself.

"You can come out now, Soi Fon-taichou. I know you're there, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, it wasn't my intention, so please come out now so I can converse with you, I presume that's what you want, isn't it?"

Asking with a hint of a teasing tone, he awaited the person known as Soi Fon to come out of hiding.

He waited for a few seconds, before a figure appeared in front of him, dashing from the nearby wall, into the shadows, obscuring this person from view. Fusanosuke rolling his eyes at the secretive nature of the being in front of him.

"How perspective of you." The figure said, an annoyed grunt coming from her. "You didn't report in. You've been back for hours, what do you think you're doing? Going off like that, and handling the situation yourself. Don't you realize that I have other things to do, besides chase after you all of the time."

As the figure said that, Fusanosuke rolled his eyes again, something he knew that he would be doing a lot.

"Sorry, but you wanted the mission done, and I did it. What's so wrong if I take my time in getting back? Can't I relax every once in awhile?"

He countered the figure as it stepped out of the shadows.

The person who came was revealed to be a relatively petite woman with gray eyes and black hair that came down to about chin length, however the back of her hair, is worn with two long braids bound in white cloth, each ending in a large golden ring. She wears a traditional Shinigami captain's uniform with a sleeveless haori and a yellow obi tied around her waist.

This girls name is Soi Fon, and right now, she didn't have a pleasant look on her face.

"If it jeopardizes the mission, then yes it is wrong to go back on your own and, not stay by my side which was the mission! If I have to take you with me on Soutaichou's orders, then I expect you to stand beside me while I deal with it, not go off and do your own thing. Don't you understand how teamwork works to begin with?"

Soi Fon's harshness came through to Fusanosuke. Her eyes blazed with annoyance, her posture showing the discomfort that she was feeling right now, and how she seemed to be unloading a lot on Fusanosuke, when he couldn't see the problem she had.

"That's something that couldn't be helped." Fusanosuke explained, folding his arms. "He was getting away, he had priceless artifacts with him, and he attempted an assassination, and was ordered by the Central 46 to be dealt with, and he was, so I don't see what the problem is, Soi Fon-taichou."

"The problem is, I was the leader of that mission, and you did what you always do, and go forth without my consent. I seriously expect you to reflect on your behaviour during a mission. It could lead to complications in the future, complications that are unnecessary. I don't even see the point in telling Soutaichou anymore, as...well, you know."

"Well, I'm sorry that I did the mission, and have to lie to my friends about being in this unit, rather a former member. I even had to lie to Rukia-chan before, saying that I just happened to be in the area. Don't you know how hard it is to not tell my friends that I was on this unit and continue from time to time doing missions with them that does something unspoken within Soul Society? Killing really isn't something I feel comfortable with, and lying is even more so something I do not like to do, just like that thing from long ago."

Hinting at something darker, Soi Fon for a second completely understood what he was talking about, but she couldn't let it go, about what she was talking about from before.

"If that's the case, why bother with being a Shinigami? Killing, is being apart of being a Shinigami, whether apart of that unit or not. Even normal Shinigami have to kill to survive battles. If that isn't for you, then quit."

Soi Fon countered, Fusanosuke unfolding his arms as he explained.

"It isn't like that. Killing Hollows is different to Shinigami and whatever else. At least with Hollows, I know that their souls are going to be purified from the actions they've done as a Hollow, and protection of the future victims of said Hollows. Shinigami on the other hand..."

"They chose the life for themselves, it isn't any different than dealing with a Hollow, if they go that far." Soi Fon stated with coldness, her icy demeanour falling. "If you can't handle something like that then you're in the wrong business. A crime is a crime like no other. If you commit an act of sin, then you're going to be punished for it, and the Shinigami that committed the unholy act got what he deserved. I presume you used Kido to make it less painful?"

"Yes, is that a problem?"

He questioned with a raised eyebrow, seeing what he did as something merciful, rather than anything else.

"It's a little softhearted for my tastes, but it seems that you would do something like that. I shouldn't have expected anything different."

Soi Fon admitted as she walked over, and leaned on the wall next to him, careful that they weren't heard by anyone that was around.

"Even if committed a sin, I would still like the death to be something that wasn't on the level of torture. I'm not a sadist, but my Zanpakuto is on a level like that. Even your one is a two hit sure kill, isn't it? Is that something that you're proud of?"

"Actually..." Soi Fon went to explain, but Fusanosuke took out a ancient looking medal and passed it to Soi Fon. "This is what we were looking for. So you did find it after all. With this, I can say the mission is successful."

"I might hate killing, but if I'm given a mission, then I will do it to the best of my ability, unlike those traitors."

"Tch, traitors are banished for a reason, after all."

On some level they could understand this simple fact. While neither wanted to admit it, they both could feel resentment for something within their pasts, and both knew about it.

"You're exactly right, Taichou. Now, if that is all."

He spoke in a dismissive tone, something that was quite unusual for him.

"For now at least, it seems to be a case like that." Soi Fon then looked towards Fusanosuke with stern eyes. "Next time we happened to be partnered together, I expect you to be on the ball, on my side, not against me and doing your own thing."

"Yet, you're the one who hates me, and wished it wasn't me who you were partnered with." Soi Fon didn't refute what he said, only keeping her stern eyes on him, which made him crack a smile. "Well, if you hate me or not makes little difference to me. If it is for the sake of the Soul Society, I will work with you."

"And while I hate to admit it, you're good to have as a partner, when you can be bothered."

"My, was that a small joke Taichou?"

Soi Fon didn't respond to that questioned, and swiftly crossed the small alleyway they were in, making it to the exit, cocking her head back towards Fusanosuke with a mirth smirk on her face.

"Next time, you'll have to follow my orders. Just this once, I can allow it to go, since you finished the mission with zero injuries, and managed to protect one Rukia Kuchiki from a Hollow that could've extinguished her life if she wasn't careful, and could've caused an uproar in the noble house of Kuchiki."

"Isn't that one of my redeeming qualities, Soi Fon-taichou?"

Asking with a sly grin on his face, Soi Fon's eyes narrowed slightly, appearing as slits to Fusanosuke.

"Is there anything redeeming about you?"

Soi Fon shot back with fake mirth, Fusanosuke chuckling deeply at the words.

"Possibly. Either way, stalking me before was-"

"Don't say I was stalking you!" Soi Fon yelled, a small pink dust on her cheeks at the accusation, becoming something Soi Fon doesn't usually become, flushed and embarrassed. "Don't you ever say something as disgusting as that. I WOULDN'T stalk someone like YOU!"

Soi Fon's face continued to become redder as it was apparent that she didn't like being referred to as a stalker, especially if it was for Fusanosuke.

"Geez, there is no need to yell, and yelling really only solidifies it exponentially. But you cannot deny you were following me before."

"That's because I was attempting to find out something's."

She carefully said, attempting to control her anger, and something else as well.

"Like if I was dating Rukia-chan? Don't worry, Rukia-chan and I are currently not in a relationship."

"Shut up. Like I care if you're in a relationship with anyone or not."

Soi Fon said it with harshness, but even she couldn't deny (even if only to herself) her face had gotten slightly more red than it usually was, Fusanosuke looking at her reddened face, smiling like a child at the same time.

"Hehe, you're really cute when you're so flustered. Even cuter than Rukia-chan and Momo-chan when like this because it is so different to your usual stony face, yet it works on you, Soi Fon-chan~"

"Don't refer to me as that ever again or I will lop off your head."

Soi Fon's dangerous threat was met with a smile from Fusanosuke, and a wink as well, which drew a tick mark from the Second Sqaud's captain.

"Alright, calm down Soi Fon-chan. It isn't like I asked you to do something perverted or anything. I was just saying your name with chan on the end. Isn't that something close friends do together?"

"But, the fact remains that we aren't close friends."

Soi Fon expressed to Fusanosuke what she thought of their relationship, which didn't bother him in the slightest.

"Hehehe...I hate being this serious. I'm gonna go and get some sleep now. Wanna join me?"

"Tch, I would rather have someone skewer my eyes than sleep anywhere near you."

She answered while folding her arms, the most coldest of looks being on her face, even more so than ice, it was hard to look at without feeling like you've been frozen by her icy stare.

"How cruel, and we used to be so darn close as well. What happened with that Soi Fon-chan?"

"A lot. And stop speaking as if we're friends. It irritates me to no end."

She replied as she walked away, turning the corner, out of sight of Fusanosuke, who turned the other way, having sensed some Reiatsu close by, recognizing it instantly to be Momo's one, and she was alone.

"Aah well, I'm gonna go and find Momo-chan! Wait for me Momo-chan!"

With a happy face, completely different to how he was with Soi Fon, he jumped upwards, and hopped along the buildings of the Seireitei, heading straight for his lieutenant.

What he wasn't aware of however was Soi Fon. As he was jumping away, she had peered around the corner, and watched his fleeting form. For a few seconds, it appeared as if she wanted to say something, but she held it back, muttered "I hate that guy." and Flash Stepped out of the area...or was about to when Kenpachi showed up right at that time, stopping her from going as she became curious as to why he was there with Yachiru.

"We're close now Ken-chan! I can feel him close by!"

Yachiru announced as Soi Fon curiously looked at the pair of them.

"You're right. I can smell him nearby. I know he came through here not long ago. Maybe even only minutes ago."

Kenpachi was the one to confirm it to the smaller Shinigami, who rose an eyebrow upwards in some confusion.

"But where did he go...? Where could Blondie Bear be now?"

"I don't know..." He paused his musing's as he looked to the side, seeing Soi Fon there. "Oi, you, whatever your name is. Where is Fusanosuke at. He was here before, so where has he gone to now?"

Soi Fon blinked a number of times, not caring about the killing intent directed towards her, which would effect most.

"So, he's after the idiot huh...well, that's also fine with me. If he has Zaraki after him, that would be beneficial as well. At least, it would be amusing to see what's going to happen." With a sinister smile on her face, she had decided something within herself, and faced Kenpachi as she pointed to the side. "Oh, he's gone that way. He's really wanting to face you, Zaraki. He told me as much. I'm sure that he'll be waiting with open arms."

Kenpachi showed a slasher smile which sent some chills down Soi Fon's spine, but she composed herself enough to make it appear that she was okay with such a smile, not wanting to anger Kenpachi in the slightest.

"At first, I thought you were an annoying bitch with a squeaky voice, but you're alright after all." He turned to Yachiru, ignoring Soi Fon's twitching eyebrows and disbelieving face, her mouth hung open as well. "Lets go, if he is waiting, then we're willing."

"Yes, let us get him Ken-chan! Blondie Bear is in reach! We can't let him get away!"

With a synchronized nod between the two, they took off and left Soi Fon behind, her body radiating a killing intent like no other...unless you're Kenpachi Zaraki of course, even then it was pretty good for the female captain.

"I-I'm...an annoying bitch with a squeaky voice...? At least I have a fucking brain, unlike your's which is made up of muscle only! Your intelligence is less than that of an infant! Do you hear me Zaraki you imbecile!?"

Soi Fon ranted and raged about it, but since no one was around, it was difficult for her to calm herself down, and as a result, she had managed to punch holes into walls as a result.

---

Fusanosuke travelled the Seireitei for a few minutes, before he spotted Momo walking with some papers in her hand, looking tired. Seeing that, Fusanosuke immediately Flash Stepped in front of her, and took the papers off her before she could realize what was going on.

"Hey, who's the one that..." She stopped when she saw Fusa, blinking a few times. "O-Oh, Fusa-chan. It's just you. Don't do that, you nearly gave me a heart attack."

"Hehe, sorry about that, Momo-chan. Didn't mean to make you feel like that. But like...eeh...what happened before...I'm sorry for being a shit!"

That apology caught Momo by surprise, who was troubled on how to respond to the blonde haired boy.

"O-Oh..." Momo's eyes fluttered a little bit as she struggled to find the words the reply, which thankfully came to her. "R-Right...before, I kinda stepped over the bounds as well. I'm sorry, Fusa-chan. I yelled, and I shouldn't have threatened to take away lap time. I know how much it effects you if you don't sleep on a girls lap."

She joked at the end, as he worked his way to her left hand side, giving her a cheeky smile as they began walking.

"Exactly, I was worried that I would've lost Momo-chan's lap. I went to Rukia-chan's lap, and it was good, but she became all sad when I mentioned that she was going to the human world. She still hasn't even attempted to fix the relationship with her sibling."

"Yes...that's regrettable, but it is something we can't get involved...wait, you went to Kuchiki-san to have lap time with?"

To Fusanosuke, it sounded as Momo was slightly jealous, though she would deny such things, even if it is painfully obvious that it is the case in such things.

"Ooh my, are you a little jealous that I went to Rukia-chan for lap time?"

"N-No, not at all."

She denied it with a shake of her neck, something Fusanosuke saw through right away.

"Ara, it seems that you are, but I can't say such things, can I? But Momo-chan, if you're jealous, you can make it up to me by giving me three hours of uninterrupted lap time~"

"Hehe...you're a very easy going person, aren't you?"

"If lap time was threatened to be taken away, I might have to become upset. Remember last time that happened? Remember what I did to that person who said he'd take your lap away from me?"

"Where you knocked out Squad Sevens Fuku-taichou with a single punch?"

She said it as if it was the most simplest things in the world. Even though most would be worried, Momo simply accepted it, and knew what would happen if 'lap time' was threatened. In certain regards, Fusanosuke could become as frightening as Kenpachi if 'lap time' was taken away by someone else.

"Exactly. That's how it is, after all. I'm a simple person. I only have a few pleasures in life. That's girls laps, sake, cookies, and few other things. Everyone else is like shooting for the stars...ooh, speaking off shooting for the stars, did you hear about Renji-kun?"

"Renji-kun...ooh, you mean about him becoming Fuku-taichou? At least, applying for the position?"

Fusanosuke nodded as both he and Momo casually strolled away together.

"Yeah, I saw him before, and he seemed to be excited. Though I did hear a hint of jealousy when I mentioned about you being a Fuku-taichou. I think that he might be feeling bitter about such things."

Momo inclined her neck in agreement, unaware that in some distance, Kenpachi and Yachiru were slowly incoming, their location being wherever Fusanosuke was, and that was right beside Momo.

"Yes, Renji-kun has always been like that, though. But I'm glad for him, he's doing what he wants, and is going to achieve it. Though I do feel sorry for him, not speaking with Kuchiki-san."

"That's regrettable. I also mentioned Rukia-chan, and he seemed to...for a lack of a better word, shut down at the mention of it. I know that they sort of...became distant, but Rukia-chan is lonely sometimes, I could see it in her eyes."

Fusanosuke didn't like that about the situation. He couldn't really understand what was going on in the minds of the pair, but he did try his best to make amends between the two, even if he was unaware what was going on exactly, and neither really ever wanted to converse with him about it.

"Is that so? I don't know much about Kuchiki-san like you, but when I speak with her on rare occasions, she seems to be quite sad about it. Even when Renji-kun's name is spoken, it is as if it is a taboo. Then there's the whole fact that she's not really close to her sibling. I wonder why the Kuchiki clan adopted Kuchiki-san if they...ignore her like this?"

Momo couldn't figure it out, but like Fusanosuke, she didn't know the full story either, only hearing tiny bits of it, not enough to make a concrete conclusion on the matter, though part of her didn't want to get involved either, since it was a clan like the Kuchiki.

"Unless we're members of the Kuchiki clan, we couldn't possibly understand what's going on with the minds of those people. It is something difficult to think about, don't you agree with me?"

"You're right...we aren't like the Kuchiki, so we can't understand about it. Either way, Fusa-chan. Did you have a good day at least?"

"Aah, well. I've been having a strange day, to put it mildly."

He couldn't say what really happened, for the most part. He couldn't speak about what went on with Soi Fon, as officially, it didn't happen. It was something that he couldn't speak about with others.

"Oh? Did something happen after the mission we had?"

"Yeah...well, it has been interesting. Oh, I saved Rukia-chan from a Hollow, my good deed for the day."

"Hehe, is that the case? Then that deserves three hours of lap time."

"Yay! Lets go Momo-"

At that moment, he had his heart taken by the sudden increase of Reiatsu behind him, and he knew what it was instantly. Momo was so taken by it that she was brought down to her knees, or she would've if Fusanosuke didn't catch her with one arm, keeping the papers held tightly with the other arm.

"Fusa-chan..." Momo panted, under the heavy Reiatsu. "...This is Kenpachi-taichou...isn't it?"

She didn't even have to turn around. She just knew it by now, the Reiatsu that she could feel. And she could feel that she was ready to get extinguished by the powerful Reiatsu was crushing her.

Fortunately, Fusanosuke was right on hand beside her, protecting her with his own Reiatsu, attempting to counterbalance what Kenpachi's was doing, and somehow, he was able to make her feel slightly better, more so than the crushing feeling that she felt.

"Yes, that's right, Momo-chan. Don't worry, I'm gonna deal with this now." She nodded with a strained smile as he faced the other way, holding Momo close to his body, facing Kenpachi with Yachiru. "Kenpachi-taichou...aah, Yachiru-chan..."

"Ah, Fusanosuke. You're quite the slippery guy. I've been searching all day."

"Eeh...this isn't meant to be rude, but don't you have anything else to do? Something more pressing than chasing me around?"

Fusa found it quite strange, that Kenpachi seemed to have all of this free time, and how he was able to follow after him.

"No, I don't have anything else to do."

Fusa, even Momo to an extent, sweatdropped at that, furrowing their eyebrows, wondering what they should do next.

"Uugh...Kenpachi-taichou...you want to fight me, don't you?"

"Yes, have you finally resigned yourself?"

Kenpachi asked while the corners of his lips rose excitedly, Yachiru jumping off Kenpachi's shoulder, and landed on Fusanosuke's head, sitting down on his head, showing his impressive neck strength at keeping her body there without worry.

"Blondie Bear, we've been searching for ages now. So don't run away again, Ken-chan is getting too excited. He even showed it by breaking apart a wall before. It was awesome, you should've seen it!"

Fusa's eyes went to Yachiru (at least the part he could see due to her position) for a few seconds, before turning his gaze back to Kenpachi, noticing that Momo was clinging to him tightly, fear within her eyes.

"Kenpachi-taichou...I've got an idea. Could you please listen to it?"

"Hmmm? A proposition perhaps? Is it to do with fighting?"

Kenpachi with interest, wondered this question, earning a nod in return from Fusanosuke who moved closer. Momo went behind him, and gripped his shihakusho tightly.

"It is actually. It's more of a...bet than a proposition...actually, is that the same...eeh, I can't think right now...but yes, a bet. That's what I want to do with you, if you'll please listen to me for a minute."

"A bet?" Kenpachi's interest peaked at this. "What is it you wish to bet exactly?"

Fusanosuke pointed towards himself, as even Yachiru looked on with confusion, matching that of her captain. Momo was having a hard enough time breathing, but she did hear what he said, and wondered what the heck he was talking about all of a sudden.

"Me, I wish to bet me."

"Bet you? Heh, I want to fight you, not date you."

Kenpachi said it with straight eyes, misjudging what Fusanosuke was talking about, with Momo gaining a scarlet face for a few seconds, before she shook her head from left to right, not wanting to imagine something that she knew she shouldn't...even if she really wanted too.

"Yeah...I don't feel like going out with a man, ever. I prefer girls softness and cuddliness, especially when it is about their soft and lovely thighs, than men's...ugh, freaky factors. No, when I said me...I mean, you expressed a wish for me to join Squad Eleven, yes?"

"Yes, that's right."

Kenpachi didn't refute what he was saying, as that what he did want.

"Then, I propose a fight...with someone from your squad."

"Huh? What are you talking about? Why not fight me?"

Kenpachi was mildly pissed at this, as he didn't want anyone but him to fight Fusanosuke, or it would take out the enjoyment, but Fusanosuke attempted his best to give Kenpachi a good deal.

"Because...you're a Taichou. I don't think I'm ready for such things, but...Kenpachi-taichou, think about this. If I fight someone from your squad...not Yachiru-chan as she frightens me...then, we can make a bet on it."

"What would we bet exactly?"

Kenpachi's interest was going up by the second. While it wasn't a fight with him per-say, he couldn't deny that Fusanosuke was speaking his language, even if only a little bit, and found it to be quite ecstatic.

"Well, as I said, you want me to join Squad Eleven, so...why not? If I fight one of your people and lose, then I will join Squad Eleven without a worry, though you'll have to clear it with my Taichou but I don't think that will be so difficult. And if I become your squad member, you can fight me whenever you want, because I would be in your squad, wouldn't I?"

"Fusa-chan, what are you..."

Momo couldn't believe her ears. Hearing that he was willing to bet something so insane like he did, she was quite shocked, and wasn't sure if he was in the right frame of mind right now.

As Momo was saying this, Kenpachi looked to be quite happy...no, he was insanely happy at that.

"Kekekeke, so that's the bet, is it? That's fine with me. Once you're apart of my Squad, I will be able to fight you whenever. Of course, you'll take Fourth Seat, a slightly less rank than you are now, though that wont effect anything."

"Yes...but if I win...you have to not attack me for...a month."

"A week is what I suggest."

Kenpachi quickly got out, more like ordering than actual suggesting, seeing the slight downside to the bet between them, though compared to the reward, he was willing to go for a week without trying to fight him, though it would be difficult.

"Hmmmmm, three weeks?"

"A week."

Kenpachi stated again with a stern looking face, Fusanosuke wasn't sure if he was able to get him to go higher than that.

"How about two weeks? That's not so bad, is it?"

Fusanosuke tried to persuade, something that Kenpachi got deep into thought about.

"Hmmmmm, two weeks...a week and a half, is what I can muster. That's the highest I am willing to go."

That's what Kenpachi's final offer was. Usually, he wouldn't be the bargaining type, but in this instant, it was actually intriguing for him, since he hadn't ever done it, and knew that Fusanosuke was a man of his word, even if he was quite lazy, he would follow through with a promise.

"I see, so that's it...a week and a half...yeah, that will do me. A week and a half will do me."

"Wait!" Yachiru suddenly called. "Ken-chan! I wanna get in on the bet as well!"

Kenpachi looked towards Yachiru who jumped off Fusanosuke's head, and landed on Kenpachi's shoulder.

"What is it you want?"

Yachiru got close to his ear, and whispered. As she did, Fusa and Momo shared a look between the two of them, wondering what she would want with the bet, though Fusanosuke was having a sinking feeling.

At the end of it, Kenpachi didn't see what was wrong with what Yachiru wanted, so agreed with her.

"Fusanosuke, Yachiru also wants something from you."

"Ooh no...what is it?"

He answered Kenpachi, following it with a scared question, hoping that it isn't something weird, that's something he didn't want in the slightest.

"Yes...it seems that Yachiru, regardless of if our bet succeeds or not, wants to give you a challenger to fight as well. From what I understand, it seems that she wants to have you as her...Shinigami personal attendant for a month."

"A personal attendant?"

Fusanosuke echoed, unsure of what Yachiru was talking about, Momo being in the same boat.

"Yup! It means you become my slave, basically!"

Yachiru answered before Kenpachi got out, Momo opening her mouth wide.

"W-Wait, you can't make Fusa-chan your..."

As she went to protest, Fusanosuke patted her on the head, silencing her.

"Fueee, Yachiru-chan wasn't thinking of making me do dangerous things, right?"

"Nope! Fun games everyday for a month! They will be awesome! And if you win...eeh, I will give you cookies for a week and a half, like how Ken-chan promised to leave you alone for a week and a half!"

Yachiru's offer baffled Momo's mind, and couldn't understand why Fusanosuke was so willing to do something like that, when it seemed to her that they were getting the better end of the deal, rather than him getting the better end of the deal.

"Yeah, that sounds awesome...but, I'm not fighting you, am I?"

That was a slight worry, as he didn't feel right about hitting a little girl, even if it was for his freedom. But thankfully, Yachiru shook her head strongly.

"Nope! I have the best fighter for you! It's that pretty boy, not baldy!"

"Then that's fine. Kenpachi-taichou. Is tomorrow okay...eeh, Momo-chan, are we free tomorrow?"

Momo's mind thought about it, and then she shrugged her shoulders.

"We don't have any missions or anything, but are you sure that this is the best way...?"

"Don't worry about it, it will be fine. I will just use-"

"No Kido."

Kenpachi cut off Fusanosuke, the boy himself giving a small pout, but sighed in resignation and reluctantly accepted it, due to this being something of an order on Kenpachi's part, feeling like he was already pressing his luck, and not wanting to go any further than that.

"Okay, I suppose that's fair since your squad frowns upon such things, and you've given me this chance, which is very generous of you by the way. So fighting with Zanjutsu, and Hakuda, then?"

"Yes, those things are acceptable. Kido, is something Squad Eleven do not use, so when you become apart of my squad, you'll have to get used to that."

Speaking as if he had already won, Kenpachi wore a confident face.

He was so confident that he was going to achieve victory, that he was already planning out battle scenarios in his mind, while Fusanosuke was planning his 'vacation' away from certain death.

"Then, tomorrow is the day we decide, then? Nine o'clock at Squad Elevens barracks."

Kenpachi ordered with a gleeful face, his expression scaring Momo a little bit, while Fusanosuke seemed to be okay with it, becoming accustomed to it.

"Eeh, nine in the morning is..." Fusanosuke went to complain, not like doing things in the morning, but once seeing the resolute eyes that Kenpachi had, he couldn't dispute him. "Then it is nine in the morning...I will be there, no Kido...promise."

He stuck out his hand, looking for the 'deal handshake' something Kenpachi returned, using his large hand that encased Fusanosuke's normal sized hand, a madly insane expression on his face.

"Then, tomorrow we'll be having our bout after you become apart of my squad."

With an insane smile, Kenpachi and Yachiru took off, but not before Yachiru gave him a big thumbs up, Fusanosuke returning it with a childish glee in his eyes, so happy that Momo was actually kind of scared of his whole attitude to the situation.

---

Once they had gone, Momo turned to him with disbelieving eyes.

"Fusa-chan, why make such a bet? You could end up in his squad, and leave Squad Five? Not to mention that you could also become her slave for a month, and all you're getting is a week and a half away from him, and some cookies as well. To be honest, I don't think that this is a fair deal."

"But to Kenpachi-taichou, it is, and that's all that matters." He said with straight eyes, then turned towards her. "Don't worry about me, I'm pretty confident that I can take them, and if I get into a hairy situation, I will just release my Zanpakuto, wont I? I don't like doing it, only using it as a last resort, but I will do it for freedom. He only mentioned Kido, not my released Zanpakuto. If I am right, then I am pretty sure I know who I'm going to fight, and I know how to best them without Kido, so I think I have a good chance of winning."

"But even then, do you think that Kenpachi-taichou is going to keep his end of the deal?"

Fusanosuke nodded, as he took her hand, walking away with her.

"Yes, I believe Kenpachi-taichou is a man of his word. Even if only a week and a half, I think this is worth it. It would give me one less worry to worry about, besides that mad scientist who keeps trying to dissect me. But if I am to prepare, I would need to sleep for a little while, and I can't do that without some lap time..."

He leered towards her thigh area, Momo noticing instantly, and rolled her eyes a single time.

"Geez, you just agreed to get into a fight that could potentially change your life, and you want to go to sleep? You're really strange."

"Strange is fine with me, so are you willing to do something like that for me? It would be a big help for me~ I couldn't do it without Momo-chan's lap time~"

Momo giggled slightly, petting the top of his head as she consented.

"Okay okay, if it is for Fusa-chan and victory, giving you my lap isn't such a bad deal. But make sure to win Fusa-chan, don't join that squad, I would become lonely without Fusa-chan by my side."

Speaking with a serious tone, Fusanosuke nodded his head in the same serious.

"Don't worry Momo-chan. Once this is done, I have a week and a half without Kenpachi-taichou trying to kill me...and some cookies. We could share the cookies together~"

"Ooh, that sounds appealing. Now I really want you to win."

To her playful words, he wore a stunned face.

"E-Eh, does that mean you weren't that bothered about me winning before I mentioned the cookies?"

Momo walked a few paces forward, having recovered from Kenpachi's Reiatsu and winked towards Fusanosuke.

"I cannot confirm or deny that. Now, lets get going, Fusa-chan~"

With a titter, Momo took off running, while Fusanosuke remembered that he was carrying her papers. Glancing at them, he made sure that they were secure, before he ran after Momo, calling "Wait for me Momo-chan!" in a childlike voice, which she returned with a small giggle.

Unknown to them (from her perspective on the situation), Soi Fon had watched the entire ordeal from a distance, upon a large building which she used a wall to hide behind, and didn't seem to be pleased in the slightest. Her expressionless face didn't portray what she held within her, and her eyes didn't show anything either.

All she did was watch on with stone eyes, but then she opened them slightly when Fusanosuke's form disappeared from sight, something that thoroughly confused her to no end, not even picking up his Reiatsu.

"Stalker!"

"Iyaaaaa!"

Popping behind her, Fusanosuke gave a joking accusation, which made her scream and withdraw her sword immediate, stabbing behind her with the intent to kill within her eyes.

But before the blade could touch him, he parried it with his own blade that he withdrew quite quickly if Soi Fon does say herself, and Flashed Step away from her, her blade crossing over her body as she watched him appear on a different building all together.

"Geez Soi Fon-chan, you didn't have to try and kill me. I was only having a little joke with you."

"Don't ever call me a stalker again. And don't think you won then, I wasn't prepared."

She ordered sternly, but he wagged a finger at her, and gave a little wink.

"Aren't Taichou's always supposed to be prepared?"

He questioned while curling his body, Soi Fon's eyes dangerously sharpening on the boys face.

"Wait until we have a fight, then we'll show you who is faster."

"Oh, I already know you're faster than I am, but that doesn't always mean victory, you know?"

Soi Fon didn't say anything as a reply as he disappeared, going towards Momo again, leaving Soi Fon alone again with her thoughts.

"I hate that guy."

With those words, Soi Fon disappeared with an annoyed huff.

End chapter!

So, seems like there was a little confusion last chapter, huh. I thought it was clear, but I guess not. So I will say it is a harem fic with anyone free to suggest who they want (any race is fine, Shinigami, Quincy and so forth as I have ideas for all of them), though I have already had some great suggestions already, so thank you, and keep at it if you want to have someone in the harem, which I will put a list starting next chapter.

This chapter was basically setting out some relationships, not just with girls as in the case of Renji and a good way to introduce some characters as well. These first chapters will set some relationships up, and give a slight view into Fusanosuke's true self, though his core personality is that he is quite lazy, but as Kenpachi has hinted at, there might be something more to him than just what appears, plus Soi Fon has some kind of past with him and hates him...or does she? But yeah, these first chapters will establish some relationships, then we'll get to the main story line, obviously with some twists to it, due to Fusanosuke being involved but I will try and make these first chapters entertaining while giving some ideas onto Fusanosuke and other details as well.

Not much else to add, so until next time where the craziness of Kenpachi and others ensues!
