"Later, Baldy! Have fun with Mrs. Evil Scientist!"
Chessebelle and Ikkaku both stopped in their tracks-Ikkaku out of frustration, Chessebelle out of anticipation for Ikkaku's outburst.
"My name is not Baldy, Yachiru!" The man turned on his heel to shout at the little pink-haired devil, who had already vanished with a cloud of giggles in her place.
Chessebelle looked at her companion, hands in the sleeves of her shihakusho, with an arched brow. Ikkaku noticed the look she was giving him from the corner of his eye, a huff escaping his lips as he started off in the direction they had been heading before the interruption.
"I don't mean to pry, Ikkaku, but..."
"No, I'm not bald, I shave my head and you know that. We've been over this, Chiyoko. Besides, aren't you offended about the evil scientist thing?" The woman gave an indifferent shrug.
"I don't correct people who aren't wrong. But... Are you sure? I swear I've never seen any indicator of hair ever on your head."
And the bickering continued as they made their way to the Senkaimon to travel to the world of the living; Ikkaku boisterous and hot-headed while Chessebelle was serious and collected.
