Chapter 28: Trying to Understand
"What do you mean that Toto isn't here anymore? Where's Toto now?" Yachiru's scream filled the entire barrack and seemed to echo into the surrounding land. Pouting at the bald third seat, she threw her sucker at him, seeing it stick to the skin that had no hair.
"I don't know and don't care. Now get out of here." Ikkaku hissed at the child that was his superior. Grabbing the candy, he pulled only to growl in pain. Counting down mentally, he pulled and got the sticky object off. Blinking as a bit of pain pulsated through the area, he growled again.
"Why? I want to see Toto!" Kusajishi screamed as she pounded her fists onto the tatami mats that were below her. It didn't seem fair that she didn't see the bluish green haired woman that would play with her.
"Get out of here Kusajishi-fukutaicho." Madarame hissed as he tried to push the tantrum throwing child out of his room. Seeing her not budge from where she was, he tried to kick her out with no prevail to that also.
"Baldy what did you do? Did you hurt her? If you hurt her Chrome Dome then I'll hurt you back." The child shinigami threatened as she pointed a finger at him, gaining some attention from the other members of the division.
"Ikkaku did you take anything of hers again because I'm not being the referee to this. Give it back." Yumichika grumbled as he rubbed his eyes in annoyance at the thought of the two arguing over something again.
"I want to see Toto Yun-Yun and Baldy won't let me see her. He said she ran off somewhere." The bright pink haired child whined to the fifth seat with tears gathering in her eyes.
Rolling his eyes, the feather wearing shinigami patted the pink hair and looked up at his partner. Knowing that this wasn't going to end well, he blinked. Glancing around to see if he was hiding the woman, he found nothing of her things like the day before. "Ikkaku where is her things? What did you do to her to piss her off this time?"
"I didn't do anything. She did it all herself. She was the one that got pregnant from all the crap that we were doing so it's her fault." The bald shinigami hissed as he flopped down onto the floor and laid there. He didn't want to think about the barmaid that screamed at him for what he did. It wasn't his fault like it was hers.
"Kuso Ikkaku." Ayasegawa hissed and slapped his forehead even if it didn't seem like the right thing to do. Growling to himself, he started to pace in front of the two that were in the room and stopped suddenly. "You think it's her fault that she got pregnant. There's a term in the world of the living that they use for this certain incidence. It takes two to tango."
"What the hell does that mean?"
"It means that it takes two people to create a child. She can't get herself pregnant. You helped her create that child she has now. God I can't believe you're this dense about this." Yumichika growled as he looked over at his friend who was scratching his temple as if he wasn't listening. "Are you even listening to me Ikkaku?"
"Not really because it doesn't concern me anymore. She wanted sex so she got it. I fulfilled what she wanted and I got what I wanted." Madarame explained as he glanced up at the glaring shinigami that towered over him.
"Where's Toto at?" Yachiru screamed and hopped up. Walking over, she kicked the bald shinigami in the shin and went off to find Kenpachi to ask him where the barmaid was.
"So you say it was a simple fuck. It wasn't just that was it?" Yumichika hissed as he started his pacing once more. Closing his eyes and rubbing the bridge of his nose, the fifth seat tried to calm down with that and a sigh. It didn't work.
"I don't get what you're trying to say." Ikkaku said, but he did know what his friend was trying to get at. He wanted to know if he truly loved the barmaid or not. There was a part of him – in the beginning of the relationship that they once shared – that he cared for her like he should. Then it disappeared and he saw her as a simple wench that was wanting to be under a shinigami so she could brag to her friends.
Reaching down and grabbing his friend's shihakushô, he pulled him up. Shoving his face into the bald man's, not really enjoying that he had to get physical, he wanted to do something to get him to his senses. "I'm saying this only one. If you say I don't get what you're saying or whatever that indicates you not listening then I'm going to put you in the execution grounds with those hollows. You won't have a sword at the time either."
It didn't bother him that his friend was making threats to him. He never really fulfilled them because they caused him to get dirty and the fifth seat didn't enjoy that.
"Deep down, whether you want to admit it or not, you still love Tsubaki Tomoko. Deep down in that heart of yours, you love her to death. You just put up this front because you didn't know how to act toward the news of her carrying a child, your child. You really piss me off about that Ikkaku." Ayasegawa clarified with his eyes narrowing. "What was she to you?"
Cliffy and I felt like leaving it right here because it seemed like a good spot for one. *laughs evilly* Please review.
