OK, I've come up with a plan. I will update this every Saturday as long as I have stories to post (so please send requests). I have had one already, and would like to thank Annoymous Fan 222 for the excellent suggestion, and say that it is coming up soon.
This is a two-part Shinigami's Cup, and the second half will be up on Saturday.
Title: Spiky (Part 1)
Featuring: Kenpachi, Yachiru
Time: Not long after he became captain
"So, there's a big Hollow loose in the real world, and they want a captain to deal with it?" Zaraki Kenpachi asked lazily, staring at the trembling messenger in front of him through a curtain of hair. He grinned. "Good. I've been bored lately."

"Where are we going, Ken-chan? Tell me!" Yachiru asked.
"To the real world," he answered. "There's a Hollow we get to go play with."
"How about Baldy and Girly? Are they coming to play too?" she asked, bouncing with excitement at the thought of a battle for Ken-chan.
"No, it's just us today."
"Z-Zaraki-taichou!" a nervous shinigami stammered as they arrived. "The g-gate has b-been prepared for you and Kusajishi-fukutaichou to go to the real world. Gigai will be awaiting you on the other side."
Zaraki just grunted and stepped through as Yachiru blew a raspberry at the unfortunate gate attendant. "What do we need gigai for anyway?" he asked aloud. "One Hollow isn't going to take long; we'll be back soon."
"But Ken-chan, the message boy said the gate's being closed tonight to stop Big-booby's party spilling out into the real world," Yachiru said with a giggle. "Remember? Last time, she and Pineapple-Head and Ink-face and the others went to the real world and were doing naughty things without any clothes on…"
"Heh, the runt should learn to control his subordinates," Kenpachi replied, remembering the massive uproar it caused as old man Yamamoto lectured the errant tenth squad lieutenant and her friends.
"We're here!" Yachiru cried suddenly.
The gate opened into a room that was empty except for two boxes marked 'Captain' and 'Lieutenant'. "Oh, a present!" Yachiru squealed, dropping off Kenpachi's shoulder and scurrying over to her box. She tore at the box, and soon had pulled out a flaccid body dressed in a little pink dress.
"These must be the gigai," Kenpachi sighed. "Geez, what a pain."
He ripped open his box, and stared in disgust at the body within. "I hate whoever left this here," he muttered.
"Hey, this is like that thing that Girly wanted me to wear," Yachiru said in realisation, twirling around in her gigai so the dress spun out. "He said I look pretty in it. What do you think, Ken-chan?"
"I think it's disturbing seeing you like that," he answered, struggling into his own.
She laughed happily. "Baldy said that too!"
I couldn't remember exactly what Yachiru calls everyone, but I think the names I came up with are Yachiru-like.
Requests are very much appreciated.
