Mayuri Kurotsuchi found himself standing in the Medical Unit of Squad 4 as he tapped his foot impatiently, his arms folded across his chest, his baggy Captains Haori hanging from his lean build. He had spent countless hours studying the data he had collected on Amaya Mori and he was anxious to get an answer from the other Human woman that fascinated him but when he'd taken the initiative to seek out Linake in order to ask her permission he had been informed that she had gone missing. The head Captain had feared that the woman had taken off someplace on her own with how her current mood had been and had ordered some of the lower ranked officers of Squad 4 to go and search for her. He'd even pulled Amaya aside and asked if she knew of a place the woman could have run off too but she had just shook her head and apologized for not having a clue herself. It was apparent that Amaya was also worried about Linake.

"I'm really at a loss here about where she could have gone. Was she acting any differently after her chores last night?" Mayuri heard the Head Captain address his question to Captain Kotetsu. The squad 4 Captain shrugged her shoulders before replying.

"No. She seemed normal, that's what I don't understand. The last time I seen her was right before I headed out to go to dinner." She replied. Shunsui Kyoraku sighed heavily as he continued to think about were the woman might have run off too when a possible answer to their worries struck him.

"Come to think of it, has anyone seen Captain Zaraki this morning?" He asked.

Mayuri's lips lifted into his signature creepy grin as he took in the meaning of the Head Captain's question. Could it be possible that the barbarian of squad 11 had actually decided to pursue the woman?

Captain Kotetsu's lips parted as the possibility seemed to hit home with her as well.

"I haven't. He usually takes his squad out for training drills by now." She offered.

Shunsui smiled.

"That is true, but on my way over here I noticed some of the lower ranked Squad 11 members just hanging around." He replied.

The three captains shared a look between them and the Head Captain couldn't hold back his laughter. Shunsui placed his palm on the shoulder of the Captain of Squad 12 and with humor still evident in his words he teased him.

"Good Luck on getting that permission you've been seeking." He joked.

Mayuri scowled at the Head Captain. He hadn't thought about Captain Zaraki standing in the way of his research and if there theory was correct and the woman was in fact with the Squad 11 Captain all of his hopes of study could surly go out the window and he really needed to collect the information from Linake in order to continue studying his suspicions about the two women.

"Only one way to find out. Let's see if we can find Lieutenant Madarame." Captain Kotetsu stated.

Zaraki stretched his massive frame as he awoke from a very restful sleep. He glanced down at the woman who was currently using his muscled chest as her new pillow. He could feel her warm thigh laying draped over his hips and her arm was snuggly wrapped around his ribcage. He lifted his hand and gently ran a trail down her bare back with his fingertips. She was still sound asleep and he could feel her soft breath on his chest. A part of him really wasn't sure how he was supposed to act around her, He'd never done this kind of thing before and he would be the first to admit he'd never been the type of man who wasted his time being emotional but he couldn't deny the fact that he actually liked waking up to her draped across his body like this. He turned his head and glanced at the time and realized he was late for his morning drills and it was no surprise to him that nobody had come to wake him.

The night had been filled with the woman's lust filled moans and the memory of how she responded to him made his body stir. He had to admit when it came to taking a lover he had chosen the right one. She didn't shy away from his dominant nature, instead she encouraged it and seemed to enjoy it. She had woken up a couple hours after he had taken her the first time and he'd woken up to find her sitting on the edge of the bed looking for her clothes. He'd reached out and grabbed her pulling her back down against him. She'd protested at first telling him she needed to get back to the Squad 1 barracks but he'd just ignored that. He hadn't wanted her to leave even though he still didn't understand why.

Instead of letting her get dressed he had informed her that he has just gotten started and that he was ready for another round. He'd liked the way her deep blue eyes seemed to darken at the thought of being taken by him again and it was all the answer he'd needed and he'd covered her body with his taking control once again as he claimed her mouth with his own. He'd taken pleasure in exploring her soft curves with his hands and this time he'd ordered her to take him differently by climbing on top of his lap and riding him. He'd liked the feel of the woman's breasts pressed up against his chest and the way her nails dug into his back as she clung to his hard body. He could still feel the slight sting on the back of his shoulders from how she'd dug her nails across as he'd thrust himself up into her meeting the grinding of her hips. She didn't hold back from taking her pleasure from him and he liked that about her. He brought his hand up and brushed his knuckles across her cheek as she continued to sleep. He was just about to wake her up by pulling her into another kiss intending to start round three between them when he heard a loud knock at his door. He noticed her tense up at the sound as she opened her eyes and sat up abruptly. He rose from the bed and wrapped his arm around her.

"What is it?" Zaraki yelled out to whoever was knocking.

Whoever the hell they were they had shitty timing he thought to himself.

"I'm sorry to disturb you, Captain. It seems that Miss Ohayashi has gone missing. The Head Captain had wished for me to inform you." Zaraki recognized the sound of his Lieutenants voice explaining the reason for his interruption.

He sighed heavily as he realized his intentions with the woman would have to wait for another time.

"Tch. You can tell him to call off the search, she's in here." He called back without even the smallest amount of embarrassment.

"Y...Yes Captain." Ikkaku replied.

They could both hear the surprise in his voice and could hear the sound of his footsteps walking back down the steps that lead to Zaraki's sleeping quarters.

"I told you I should have gone back to the barracks." She whispered up at him.

He dropped his gaze and took in her bewildered expression and it made him grin.

"No sense in hiding this." He replied as he cupped her face with his hand and pressed his lips against hers.

She kissed back but pulled away before he made her forget about the world and she allowed him to ravish her again. She knew that if people were looking for her that she had slept in too late and she needed to head to Squad 4 in order to do her assigned chores for the day.

"I should go." She spoke softly as she met his gaze.

"Yeah…I guess will pick this up again at another time." He replied as he removed his arm from around her.

He watched her as she climbed out of the bed and began to pick up her clothes from the floor and then headed for his bathroom. He rolled his shoulders and stretched out his neck before he got up and started to get dressed. He was sure his squad members had all scattered once they realized he wasn't going to show up to lead the drills. He didn't care, he'd let his men have the day to do whatever they wanted and he'd pick back up on the training tomorrow.

Linake stepped out of Kenpachi's bathroom fully dressed minus her panties. They couldn't be salvaged by the way the man had ripped them the previous night, but she would make due with going commando for the rest of the day. She walked over to the door and bent down to slide on her sandals and then turned to face the half-dressed Captain. She nibbled on her lower lip as she thought about what to say before she left. He turned his head and noticed the way she was looking up at him. His lips lifted in a half grin as he walked over to her.

"I'm going to head out now." She informed him as she rose up on her top-toes trying to kiss him goodbye.

He had to bend his head down in order to let her and he did pressing his mouth over hers. She pulled away and smiled up at him before she turned and unlocked the latch then slid the pocket door open and without pausing she rushed down the steps and hurried down the path that would lead her to the squad 4 Medical Unit.

Zaraki stood in the open doorway of his Captains Quarters watching the woman hurry down the pathway. He could feel that she had already started to affect him in a way no other woman had ever come close too and even though he really didn't know dick about how it was supposed to be when it came to relationships he found himself wanting to try for her. He was never going to be the type of man that fell over himself and starting spouting love sonnets, but he could be there for her in other ways, he still wanted to help the woman learn how to control her powers and help her learn how to use them to her benefit and he guessed since he couldn't come up with the right words to tell her how we was feeling he would continue to use his body to show her how much he wanted her.
