11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111

Yachiru and Chise walked home and collapsed on their futons…Yachiru was dead tired at the time but could swear she heard Chise giggle and mumble about someone named 'Ken'. Then it was off to the land of sheep for the pink princess and the night overcame her.

1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111

The next morning, Yachiru woke up groggy…all blame put on the party she attended. She had slept in later than she usually did…but whatever…she started to nod off again…

A large thundering crash woke her right up…She looked up to see if Chise was also awakened by the noise, but realized she was missing! Her bed was made and Yachiru decided to go check up on the disturbance of her nap time.

Yachiru yawned as she was led to the sparring hall. Daily, shinigami trained and sparred improving their skills for battle. Not many injuries occurred unless you picked a fight with a stronger opponent. (Duh.) There were times that Ken-Chan got a lecture from Unohana on controlling himself when sparring with his men. He had sent more than twenty men to her quarters' each week. More than any company ever had to send since the ryoka incident.

Yachiru entered the large area and was surprised to see a large crowd that morning. She jumped on people's heads and shoulders and landed in the front row of men that were watching the other side of the room.

A younger member of the division had been knocked out cold indented into the wooden wall…It splintered from his body's impact. Yachiru then looked to see whose handiwork ha d done this when it was none other than Chise!

The girl had a mad grin on her face as she panted with hands on her knees. Her usual shinigami outfit was missing. She wore the revealed black high collared tank top and snug black capris that were held up with a red sash belt. Her hands bore the fingerless gloves and her hair was still held back in a loose bun with a couple tendrils falling in her face.

"So who's next?" She laughed as she searched the room full of potential opponents. Her hawk like eyes looked eager for another fight.

Yachiru almost wanted to step up and fight Chise but another man beat her to it. A muscle-head that towered over the light girl. His ugly face grinned as he cracked his knuckles and stood before Chise. His name was Nobu. He was the 7th seated officer of 11th Company and many people knew how ruthless he could be…Not many men could bring him down so how did Chise expect to?

Yachiru was eager to see Chise fight the beef head as she dubbed Nobu.

Chise recognized him immediately as he lugged himself to the middle of the floor. He was the man who had dared to touch her in the shower the second day of her arrival. She was already eager to fight the pig head.

The two bowed to each other as was custom before a match. Chise sized him up. Bringing her fists up to her face and jumping back slightly. Nobu laughed, which sounded like a donkey. And pointed a huge index finger at her.

"Do you really think you stand a chance against me, doll?" He chuckled.

"Oh, I'm pretty sure I can beat you." She smirked as she stepped back and forth on her feet.

"I really wouldn't want to mess up that pretty face of yers, baby doll."

"Tell you what…let's make a deal…If I win…you stop with the doll crap and if you win…you can have your way with me…whatever you want…"She offered. Some men gasped…Yachiru's eyes widened…those were some pretty high stakes on Chise's part.

"Oh, this'll be a dream come true. I'll have the doll all to myself…"Nobu licked his lips.

"Not if Barbie kicks your ass first!" Chise remarked.

"Let's go!" Chise shouted and she disappeared in a flash.

"Huh?" Nobu looked dumbly around and Yachiru rolled her eyes. 'Moron' she thought.

Chise then reappeared. Her feet resting on the front of Nobu's shoulders as her hands pulled on his collar. She pushed her feet off and flipped pulling Nobu along for the ride as he slid across the floor.

Chise cracked her neck and took her stance again.

"Don't underestimate me. Meat head!" She called out to him.

"I won't now!" He got up and she charged this time though he caught her punch and swung her sound like a real doll. He smashed her into the ground twice then released her. She groaned as she rolled over and stood.

"Careless…" She muttered to herself. She took a deep breath…Then she charged Nobu again. Arm raised he prepared to counter her next punch like before but was caught off guard by her sudden dropping down to the floor and sweeping her leg to kick him in the back of the knees. His legs gave way and her toppled over. She gave a swift blow to the back of his skull.

Nobu was too hard headed however and regained his balance. He turned to face her and then started throwing a barrage of punches. Chise could definitely feel the force behind the punches as she kept blocking them with slight effort. As she prepared to block the next punch and unexpected kick came and hit her unprotected left side. She rolled over on the ground and clenched her side. Nothing broken, thankfully, but it still hurt like hell.

"Ready to give up yet, doll?" Nobu smugly laughed. Chise panted….she was far from finished.

She stepped up and charged and struck a blow at his ugly face. He grunted and she smirked. She wasn't going down that easily.

Kenpachi walked down the corridor around HQ searching for Yachiru who had failed to meet him like usual every morning. He heard cheering coming from the training hall and decided to look there next.

He entered the hall and was surprised to see most of his men watching one match. He looked over the men's heads and saw Nobu fighting Chise…She had just landed a blow to Nobu's face and smiled at her small victory over her opponent.

He then spotted pink and pushed through to the front of the crowd to meet Yachiru.

Yachiru immediately noticed his presence and smiled as she hopped up onto his back.

"Yachiru, where were you this morning?" He inquired.

"Oh, sleeping in. Too tired from the party. Then I heard a loud noise and came to investigate. Look over there." She pointed to the damaged wall. Kenpachi's eyes widened as he saw a large indent in the wall.

"Who did that?"

Yachiru simply pointed to Chise as she tried to concentrate on the battle.

Kenpachi also began focusing on the battle. He watched as the two opponents were wearing each other down.

Chise then let on a burst of energy as she disappeared and reappeared with a full frontal face kick. Blood erupted from Nobu's broken nose and he fell onto his back. Chise grinned and raised her arms in the air as the hall filled with cheers.

"So all bets are off!" Yachiru clapped.

"What bets?" Kenpachi didn't like being kept in the dark…unless it was with Tousen so he could kill the sneaky bastard.

"Chise said if she lost that meat head could have his way with her…" Yachiru informed him.

"She what?" His jaw dropped and Yachiru laughed.

"Ken-Chan, look at your face!" She giggled. Her attention quickly focused back onto Chise as the victor was still accepting praise from the spectators. Her back was to the defeated Nobu, who was sitting up clenching his nose. His hand then reached for his waist and he drew his zanpakuto! With speed he raised the blade aiming for Chise.

"Chise!" Yachiru cried. Kenpachi's hearts stopped.

In a flash of light, Chise had caught the blade between the index and middle fingers. A surge of electricity went through from her hands, through the sword and into Nobu's body. He was fried and immediately became knocked out.

"Jerk!" Yachiru hopped to the battle field and kicked the unconscious cheater's side with her foot.

"Thanks for the warning, Yachiru." Chise smiled as she lightly patted her pink hair. Yachiru smiled too and Kenpachi stomped over to the two…

"You okay?" He demanded. Looking her over. She seemed alright.

"I'm fine." She confirmed as she rotated her shoulders.

"Then prepare yourself…" he took a stance as he drew his blade.

Chise's eyes dilated as she looked at the blade. She then put on a stone cold face as she glared up at him.

"You really want to fight me?" She asked. She really wasn't in the mood.

Kenpachi lifted the sword and swiped down right next to her head and she dodged. That was his answer.

"Fine." She adjusted her gloves and fixed her hair. Kenpachi grew impatient.

"Are you done primpin' girl?" He growled out. She glared at him and took her stance.

"Bring it, Tinker bell…" She gloated as the nickname wasn't appreciated. Yachiru giggled as she resumed her place on the sidelines. She would remember that name.

She jumped away from another blow from his sword and tried to kick him. She made contact but with that wall of muscle her little blows wouldn't make any impact.

He tried striking her again from the side with the ragged blade. She just jumped to avoid it. She laughed mockingly.

"Swatting flies, tink?" She commented.

He took his opportunity and swung his left fist at her. The blow landed and she flew backwards into the wall. Leaving an impression near the one she forced another opponent into moments before. She fell onto her hands and knees.

'Why was everyone out to get her midsection? Seriously!' She thought as she stood up and wiped her mouth off with the back of her hand. She had bit her tongue on impact and it bled a lot.

"Don't boast. You lose focus and make mistakes." He commented. She got angry, but took the advice.

She gathered up reiatsu and formed a spell. The whole room grew cold. Yachiru watched as mist that clouded her sight disappeared. Ken-Chan was frozen like a statue.

Chise smirked and ran at the frost bitten Captain. She threw a punch at the frozen face but the fist was caught much to her surprise. She was caught in a trap. He held he still as he raised his blade above her head, fully intending to strike. He brought it down and Chise sullenly just watched it fall without resist at the incoming blow.

Kenpachi frowned. This wasn't supposed to happen. The blade was supposed to cut into the area between Chise's neck and shoulder. But instead the blade stopped right at her skin. The sword wouldn't budge any further like a magnet resisting opposite ends. He looked at Chise accusingly as if she placed another spell on it.

"Your sword will NOT cut me, Kenpachi." She said in an all knowing matter.

Instead of pondering why his sword couldn't strike Chise he kicked her at the side of the head. She fell to the floor and coughed up blood. He grinned. She was done. She wouldn't be able to continue.

He leaned over her in a gloating manner.

"Now, now where's your pride gone now, woman? I know! If you want to injure me so much…why don't you go and get your zanpakuto?" He laughed and his men sort of joined in.

Chise slowly got up and glared at him with her worst look yet. In a flash her arm raised and…

Chise slapped Kenpachi.

He had never in his whole life been slapped by anyone. His left cheek started to sting and he started to get annoyed. He looked down at the woman who dared to do it…but then time stopped.

Something was in Chise's eyes. It shimmered in the light and then fell over the edge of her eyelids and streamed down her cheeks. She shook her head from left-to-right and in slow motion turned and left the training hall.

Time went back to normal as the man exited. Yachiru walked up to Ken-Chan with a sullen look in her eyes. He finally noticed her and looked down. He eyes usually filled with light looked dark and her smile was missing as a frown replaced it.

"You're a fool when it comes to women's feelings, Ken-Chan!" She spoke. The words pierced him through the heart.

"What?"

"Chise wants Ken-Chan's respect. She wants to know that you acknowledged her as being strong. Chise is a lot like you. Chise wants to be strong too. She even has a tattoo with the character for strong on her shoulder. She wants you to accept her. Chise doesn't have a zanpakuto…so she can only fight with spells or martial arts. Ken-Chan…please go talk to Chise. For me?"

Yachiru seemed on the verge of tears. She had given away her new best friend's secrets, but she knew she had to in order for Ken-Chan to understand.

Kenpachi stared into empty space for a long time while Yachiru spoke. A weight gripped his heart each time she mentioned her name. He remembered the day he spotted Chise's tattoo. Her back to him. She wanted him to acknowledge her? She wanted him to accept her?

He really was a fool when it came to women's feelings.

"I'll be right back Yachiru." He patted her head and left.

Yachiru smiled as he left. She already knew where he was going.
