Aki sighed she was wearing clean clothes and had taken a bath, after she stomped out of the clinic she stopped by her room grabbed some clothes and bath stuff. then headed straight for the bathouse, after a good hour soaking in a private bath (Thank the gods for that one) she had taken a long run and now found herself laying on the ground under a tree. It was one of the few areas in the Seireitei that had grass and trees. It was a small area but it was quiet and the shade from the trees kept her cool. Aki just laid there and dozed, she was NOT going back to squad 11 anytime soon. She was just going to lay here for a bit and cool off. Aki drifted between sleep and awakefulness.

The sun was going down so the light was getting less and less, but still Aki just laid there. Even when it started to get cooler she still drifted.

THUMP! Aki jolted into wakefulness, a snorting sound came from her.

"Here she is Kenny!" Yachiru yelled next to her.

Kenpachi walked up to them, "Dam Yachiru wake her up why don't you."

Yachiru's eyes widened as she looked at Aki, "I'm sorry." she whispered.

"That's ok?" Aki was in a state of the lights were on but no body was home. Then she felt her body leave the cool ground, and go into a pair of hard hot arms. Kenpachi now sat in the spot she had been in, she was in his lap his arms around her. Her mind still wouldn't seem to come out of its daze.

"I was wondering where you got to."

"Ya, me and Kenny have looked EVERYWHERE for you, and kenny doesn't listen to well to directions." Aki saw him snort at the statement. She smiled softly then shivered as a breeze kicked up. Aki felt the arms around her tighten and pull her closer. Aki felt her eyes get heavy, "I'm sleepy." she slurred. Aki felt Yachiru crawl into Kenpachi's arms with her, "Then go to sleep Pretty Kenny and me will watch you." Aki couldn't help but wrapped her own arms around Yachiru, she was like a happy little teddy bear then promptly feel asleep.

Yachiru looked up at him with shining eyes then whispered, "She's asleep Kenny."

"Ya." he got up being careful not to wake her up, then headed back to his division. He heard Yachiru start humming quietly, even put together Aki and Yachiru weren't any trouble for him to carry. after a while Yachiru stopped humming, he looked down briefly she'd fallen asleep herself. Yachiru had her head tucked under Aki's chin, and she was clutching at Aki's shihakusho. Dam this woman was good, not only did she have him in the palm of her hand but now she had Yachiru as well. Kenpachi didn't know what the hell he was supposed to do now. He'd never been in any type of realtionship besides what he had with Yachiru, normally after this point with a woman he would leave. But there was no leaving this woman, he was stuck and he really didn't care. Kenpachi wasn't sure what the hell to call this, did he love Aki? He wasn't sure he'd never felt anything like with another woman. Questions that Kenpachi didn't have the answer to roared through his head,as he made his way back to squad 11.

MORNING

Aki woke up to a foot to her stomach, she groaned and opened her eyes. Yachiru was moving around in her sleep, muttering about candy. Aki smiled and rubbed her eyes, she remembered what happened. Kenpachi must have carried her back, because she was in his room on his bed. Aki looked around to see him laying on his side his head in his hand asleep by the bed. Aki carefully got up and walked out of the room without waking either of them up. After she closed the door and walked over to her room and peeked in. Yoshe was in there still asleep, but not Kaicho. Aki smiled it looked like Kaicho hadn't even unrolled her futon, which meant one thing. Aki headed for the dining room she was hungry, there weren't that many people there. (Consdering most of the men drank into the late hours of the night all the time.) Aki decided on a bagel and cream cheese for breakfast, with some orange juice. She was eating and thinking when Ikkaku walked over and sat acrossed from her. He had a serious look on his face, Aki wondered if he was going to give her hell for the 'reflector head' barb.

"I need your help Aki, its about Kaicho."

Aki chewed slowly of all the things she expected THAT was not it. "Ok I'll see what I can do for you."

Aki watched him as he rubbed the back of his neck and sighed, "I don't have any idea of what I should do."

"Care to be a little more specific?"

"Well I want to do something for her but I just don't know what. What do you think she would like?"

Aki smiled widliy at him, "You want to do something for Kaicho."

He nodded firmly, Aki had been wondering if Ikkaku was good for kaicho but now she knew he was.

"Well she's a girl Ikkaku so you could do anything and it would make her happy, as long as it showed you cared."

Ikkaku looked at her in confusion. Aki sighed she was going to have to spell it out for him.

"In other words give her flowers, you don't have go out and buy the most expensive flowers you find. Just picking some from along the road would work, it would show you were thinking about her. Or hold her hand just because you can, talk to her ask her about her life. Let her ask questions about yours, romance her with this head, (Aki pointed to Ikkaku's face) just as much as that head, (she pointed towards his crotch.) Every girl myself included likes to know that a guy will listen to her and do more stuff with her besides sex."

Ikkaku had a thoughful look on his face then he nodded and got up and walked away.

Aki went back to her bagel, she sqeaked as two arms wrapped around her from behind. Aki looked up into Kenpachi's eye, "Mornin beautiful."
