Main Premise:- Bleach goes to Hogwarts – Collection of Shorts

Merry Christmas everybody!

Short 26: - Heartfelt…

Yachiru was bored. Ever since they got back from Hogwarts, Soul Society had become a place of boredom. Everything was so normal and… boring. Even the people she picked on bored her. There was definitely someone she wanted to see. Smiling she sought out the one man who might alleviate her boredom.

"Ken-chan! Ken-chan! Let's go to Hogwarts again!" She babbled away at Zaraki Kenpachi.

When she got like this Kenpachi had no way to refuse his charge. Patting her on the head he smiled slightly. "You can go and play there. I'm a bit busy today. Old man Yamamoto wants to see me. Just make sure you're back in a few days. Hogwarts seems like a safe enough place."

Grinning she ran into the yard outside and unlocked a gate to Hogwarts. She stepped through excitedly. The scenery around her changed. It was familiar yet different. She glanced around and nodded happily to herself, "That's right! I'm here, but it's daytime now!"

Running through the thick shrubbery in the Forbidden Forest, she heard voices off into the distance. It was the feel of the familiar reiatsu however that boiled her excitement over the brim. Bursting out through into the clearing she screamed, "ICHIGOOOOO!"

She leapt onto his back like she normally did to Kenpachi and noticed with glee that Ichigo was pointing Zangetsu at the class, a class that contained a certain white haired boy. "Krak Drak!" She waved at the trembling figure.

"Yachiru?!" Ichigo was surprised by her sudden appearance.

They were in their usual clearing beside the waterfall. Rukia sat on the rock, the remains of chocolate wrappers discarded at her feet. The class had gathered around Ichigo this morning and had started drawing straws for the next 'Victim' for the shattered shaft training program. Only Harry and Hermione were exempt, having gained their Zanpaktous three days ago. Now they were simply working on sparring and unsealing their Zanpaktous. The rest of the class had been saved by Rukia's timely attack on Ichigo concerning Shirayuki's predicament, until now. Now, it was this pink haired, hob goblin that had saved them albeit not for long.

"Ichigo, are you playing with them? Can I play? If only Ken-chan came too, he would've played with you!" Yachiru ratted off.

Rukia was incensed by the scene for no logical reason. Getting up she dragged the little vice captain off Ichigo's back, much to his gratitude, and turned her around. "What are you doing here Yachiru?"

"Hi Shorty!" She pointed her finger at Malfoy and shouted, "I came to play with Mally Mally!"

"Well you can't right now!" Rukia scolded the child. How dare she of all people call her short. "Not until he finishes his lesson."

Yachiru smile turned upside down. Looking dejected she asked, "What lesson?"

"Finding their Shinigami powers."

Yachiru's face shot back up, "So if Whitey Drako finds his Shinigami powers he can come play with me?"

"Yes." Rukia nodded.

Yachiru, familiar with the various methods, drew her Zanpaktou. Malfoy looked from Ichigo to the demon then back to Ichigo. Ichigo smirked mouthing just one word.

"RUN"

So Malfoy shot off through the forest as fast as he could as the pink haired goblin bounded after him spiritedly. "Yaaaaaay! Come play with me Foy Foy!"

Rukia turned to face Ichigo and looked at him disapprovingly. "Why didn't you stop her?"

"Well, either he finds his Shinigami powers now, or she kills him. But I think Yachiru knows what she's doing."

The class watched in horror as explosions rang out through the forest. Trees toppled over and screams could be heard far away. Then closer, closer still, until finally Malfoy bolted back into the clearing. A blur later, he ran headlong into Yachiru and bounced off, landing on his bum on the ground before her. Ichigo thought to move but before he could act, the smiling assassin plunged her Zanpaktou into the young man's heart and an explosion of reiatsu filled the air.

The class fell back from the sudden outburst and looked on, fixed on the sight of Malfoy in black Shinigami robes. Malfoy stood bewildered. He looked down at his hands to see the faint blue nimbus of power surrounding his body and the rush of strength flowing through his limbs. He had done it, he had taken a blade through his heart and become a Shinigami. Looking down at his hand he hefted the weightless sword wordlessly and looked up to the face of the little terror before him. His confidence in his newfound power thrilled him as he addressed her with a menacing stare. He charged at her.

Yachiru watched the boy rushing towards her and smiled. A Shinigami for only a second and already he wanted to play with her. She really liked this boy! Her vision tracked the boy as he jumped up into the air, his Asuachi (1) was raised high above his head and he cleaved it down upon her. She moved in a way she had seen her mentor and father figure move, a thousand times before. She stood there.

Malfoy laughed maniacally as he was finally able to get vengeance. Chopping downwards at the poor girl his sword touched her shoulder. The resistance of her shoulder on his sword came as a rude shock to him. His fingers bled from gripping the hilt too tight as the impact jarred the bones in his hands.

She giggled and sliced her own blade upwards, carving a neat line across Malfoy from stomach to collar bone. The blood erupted into the air in a fine mist. Yachiru raised her arms in a cross shape and spun around under the crimson rain shower courtesy of Malfoy, "Wheeeeee!"

Malfoy lay on the ground, the coppery taste of blood filling his mouth. The girl danced madly before him drenched in his blood, her eyes insane with joyful delirium. Yachiru turned to him and hugged him, feeling the warmth of his blood soak into her robes. The smell of metal and bile, left the taste at the back of her throat. She was in heaven. Jumping up she exclaimed, "Yay! Play with me some more!!"

Malfoy managed a gurgle as he tried dragging himself limply away from the fiend. She noticed him and pounced, "Don't go yet! You still owe me a kiss from before, remember!"

"Who's kissing my little girl!" The deep voice of Kenpachi boomed out.

As the whole class twisted around to face the newcomers they all took careful steps backwards away from the semiconscious Malfoy.

Kenpachi stepped forward with a crazed, overprotective look in his eye. Kurotsuchi Mayuri stood beside him, grinning at the little girl covered in blood, holding the young man close to her, "Ahhh, young love!" he sighed.

End

A/N: God I love the Yachiru - Malfoy pairing, except I don't think Malfoy thinks it's a pairing at all!
