"I just want you happy Ken-chan..." Yachiru giggled softly as she raised her sword from the ground to rest upon her shoulder lazily.

The larger brute gave a low chuckle under his breath, his hand still gripping to his handicapped eye at the same time. After his demonic-like laugh was over he started to speak in a low growling sound, all the mean while the hand gripping to the eye patch was growing tighter and tighter. "You never should have challenged me Yachiru, you know what I am capable of."

The young pink haired shinigami just giggled at him and fell on her tush laughing. Seeing her reaction to his threat caused Kenpachi to become enraged. He loved striking fear into his opponent but he knew that the opponent he was facing now was not like any other he had ever faced before. In fact, she was nothing like anyone in the world he had ever met before. His emotions at the moment were mixed, as much as he wanted to fight her the feeling of hurting her made his gut churn. What if he really did kill her?

With a quick shake of his head he shook off every thought he had in his brain and just let the mentality of battle surge right back in. Now that he was back in the zone he immediately tugged the eye patch from his eye and let the power he surpressed for all these many years go wild.

Yachiru was now back on her feet the moment the eye patch was tugged away from his eye, it took just a second for the power to generate and run wildly around the giant. The bright shade of yellow spiralled around him, creating a large typhoon that circled towards the top of the battle dome and engulfed the area around them. Kenpachi became blinded by his own reitsu because his body was expelling the power quicker than the dome could absorb it. Even though gravity itself felt like it had just increased a hundred fold Yachiru's giggles remained echoing through the golden light.

"Damn it Yachiru!" Kenpachi growled in annoyance. Nothing ever seemed to really phase her, even if it was death by this fight she always was smiling and laughing.

"Nice to know your own power didn't kill you yet Kenny!" she said in a playful tone. By now the golden burst of light had faded and condensed itself around Kenpachi, a faint wind caused by the emense energy made his captain's robe to flutter softly. With the energy toned down Kenpachi stared dumbly at Yachiru, he now understood why she was unaffected by his vast energy. Surrounding her tiny form she had a soft pink aura, the color of her reitsu which he was now seeing for the first time. She was still standing in the same position: her sword slung over her shoulder, feet shoulder width apart and her head tilted to the side with a silly smile going from ear to ear.

Kenpachi wasted no time for words, he gripped his blade tight in hand and rushed towards Yachiru in a blinding blur. The pink haired female vanished in the same moment and clashed her sword against Kenpachi's, the strength of the collision was strong enough distort the air around them and send an echo blast ringing through the battle field. A smirk was covered over Kenpachi's face, he never knew the little girl he found in the forest would ever be such a strong fighter.

"Having fun yet?" Yachiru teased as she applied more force into the her blade causing Kenpachi to be shoved back a few good feet.

His reply to her was a swing of his sword coming overhead and attempting to cut the little vixen in half. She was quicker though, her sword came over her head and one hand came to the non-sharp side of the blade to add balance in holding off the male's blow. Seeing her deflect it so easily made him respond back. "It's just getting started..."

Now, with that out of the way I apologize to all my readers for the delay in uploading new chapters. I have a chapter 12 in progress as I am submitting this. This chapter is fairly short and the next will be at least 1500 words, possibly even double that when I am done with it. I have a few more chapters I am going to add to this so don't think the fight is going to be the end of the story. For everyone who has been reading and reviewing this story THANK YOU for your support and I hope you continue to read and/ or review more chapters to come. =) -Kasakaru. ]
