Aki's felt a tell tale blush creep up onto her cheeks at the statement. He stared at her for a moment then asked, "How is it you lived any where near 80 and didn't turn into one of the other women there?"

Aki was confused, "I don't understand what your asking like I said my father really never let me go into town."

Kenpachi thought about it for a moment then nodded, "Good i would hate it if you became like one of the other woman at 80." Then abruptly he got up and walked off.

Aki watched him go, now she was as red a a tomato. Did Kenpachi Zaraki care for her? she wondered. Aki shrugged her shoulders and got up and went back to the clinic thinking about it for the rest of the day.

Kenpachi stalked through the squad 11 compound he was mad as hell, he'd been awake when Aki told Yachiru about how she used to live in 80, and he was mad as hell for it. The part where she was almost raped kept echoing through his head, and the picture of her crying that one day also was in his head. Put them together and Kenpachi was in a foul mood. Why the fuck do I care about what happened to that woman? What the hell is she doing to me? His spirtual pressure lashed out at anyone who came near him. Kenpachi also remembered how he'd felt that day back in 80.

FLASHBACK

Kenpachi had been taking a nap on the ground, most people didn't bother him for he had a reputation for beating anyone who did; bloody. He heard someone running towards his way, but paid no attention to it. Then SLAM someone fell onto him their elbow hitting his stomach, he growled grabbed who ever it was. There was a shriek right in his face, "Calm down dammit, fuck your loud!" he snarled at her. He saw her open her eyes, they were blue he noticed an soft as hell. Those eyes are way to soft there's no way she's from 80. "Why don't you watch where the fuck your going woman!" he yelled. Then regreted it as she began to cry,"H-hey are you okay I didn't mean to make you cry?" She sobbed loudly, "No, I'm not ok I come into town looking for my brother and what do I get instead? I almost get raped and then When I do find my brother he tells me to run and now I have someone yelling at me for falling?! So no I'm not alright but thanks for asking!"

Kenpachi cursed and stood up and wasn't sure what to do next. So he lightly placed his hands on her shaking shoulders, "Um I'm sorry for yelling." She began to wipe her eyes but only seceeded on smearing the dirt on her face. Kenpachi moved her hands and wiped her eyes with the edge of his shirt himself, once he was done she looked up at him. Then he noticed she was kinda good looking, but it was a hard to tell when she was dressed like that. But her face was pretty, he wanted to touch her hair cause it looked soft.

END

Kenpachi remembered that he had wanted to hold her to him that day, and tell her it was alright. Then days afterward that day her face would pop up in his head every now and again, but eventually it took a spot in the back of his mind. Then it had reared up after she had told him about meeting once in 80.

Unknowingly Kenpachi found himself walking towards the clinic, once he realized what was going on he stopped right before the doors. He wondered if Aki ws in there, then someone bumped into him. He growled and looked down, it ws that other girl with the short hair and looked way to happy. "Oh um C-captain Zaraki are you looking for A-Aki?" she stammered.

He nodded once and she began to figet, "Well um she's not here she went to fourth a while back."

Kenpachi blinked, "What are you trying to say woman?"

"Well its just that she's been gone along time, we needed supplies because we were running low, and well she's just been gone a while."

Then Aki rushed in and ran head long for their bedroom, she dashed in and slammed the door shut, Kenpachi growled and followed her. He yanked the door open and almost expolded, Aki's clothes were riped and she had a huge bruise on her face. Which was in the shape of a hand. Kenpachi growled loudly and stalked to her, she stepped back. But the wall stopped her.

Aki held her clothes together and watched as Kenpachi stomped up to her. His hand grabbed her chin and turned her face so he could look at the bruise on her cheek. he did it all with more gentleness than she expected. "Who did it?!" he snarled dangerously. Aki blinked and wasn't sure if she should tell him, "Um."

"Was it someone from squad 11?"

"Sort of."

"What the hell do you mean SORT OF?!"

The next part was barely above a whisper, "He was a new recruit and the man from district 80."

Kenpachi made he look up at him, "The one with the snake tattoo?"

Aki nodded, then he grinned a rather maniac like grin "Well i get to kick his ass for today and that day." He turned and shouted at Kaicho on his way out, "You better take care of her!"

Kaicho sqeaked and went about healing Aki.

Kenpachi was heaing for the gates, if he was a new recruit then he would find out who he is. Yachiru landed on his shoulder but kenpachi didn't pay much attention to that.

"Where you going Kenny?"

"To find someone and make him regret the day he was born."

"Okay!" Yachiru said brightly.

Ikkaku was sparing with the new recruits he could figure out their strengh, and decide whether or not they made seat. When he felt his captain's spiritual pressure hit him like a gut to the punch. Captain Zaraki was mad it was obivious, Ikkaku watched as his captain looked over the new meat. His eye stopped at one man, he had a snake tattoo on him face. But nothing else about him was note worthy he was bulky yes but nothing else really. Ikkau looked back at his captain, and pure murder was written on Captain Zaraki's face. Ikkaku walked over and greeted him, "Afternoon Captain, here to greet the new recruits?"

Kenpachi walked passed his third seat as if he wasn't there.

Ikkaku made as if to go after him, but Kaicho ran up to him and grabbed his arm then whispered in his ear quickly about what she had just learned from Aki.

Kenpachi stalked towards the bastard like a wolf on the attack. Once he was directly infront of the man, kenpachi looked him over. He was a little taller than Aki, his skin was tanned and he looked like a ugly pig. kenpachi could see he had been recently hit in the jaw, for his lip was bloodied and he had a rather nasty looking black eye. Along with some very deep claw marks along his face. Kenpachi grinned his girl didn't go down without a fight, somewhere in the back of his head the question when did she become my girl rolled through his head?

All of a sudden Kenpachi grabbed the bastard's shirt front and growled like a predator, "I have a bone to pick with you ass wipe. Its about what you did to the woman who gave you that black eye of yours!" kenpachi saw recognition in the man's eyes, then kenpachi threw him acrossed the courtyard. He slamed into a wall. Kenpachi growled at him while he walked over and continued to beat the living shit out of the asshole, "I'm going to make you regret the day you were born!"

Kenpachi's fist slammed into his stomach, the man fell to the ground. Kenpachi kicked him in the stomach, he coughed up blood.

Kenpachi picked him up by his collar, there was fear in his eyes "If I so much as hear you gave Aki a wrong look I will kill you!" Kenpachi was about to punch him in the face, but somebody grabbed onto his arm.

He looked over, it was Aki "Don't Kenpachi you'll kill him if you keep this up."

Kenapchi snarled and threw the bastard on the ground, then grabbed Aki by her arm and walked off.
