Right, I'm so sorry that I haven't updated in forever! But I've had school and I did say that chapters wouldn't be up so much when I have school, I've managed to get this one finished today because I have no school today because the teachers are on strike (for once teachers are doing something good! Haha!) so yeah. Here's the next chapter! I'm sorry it's really short as well, I've had writer's block as well!


Chapter 7: Showdown!

It had been a week since the explosion that had injured Drakerla Kuchiki and made his brother show a lot more of his emotions, which surprised everyone actually. As Drakerla laid down on his bed, his mind kept going back to the end of the captain's meeting that they had had ages ago. He could still remember the pain that Zaraki had put him through, and what the bloodthirsty captain had said to him. A small taste... of what I'm going to endure later... does that mean he wants to challenge me? Or does he want me to challenge him? Man, I don't know! Although, he would be a good sparring partner, only for Zanjutsu though, man is he crap at Kido.
Don't get too cocky Drakerla, Kenpachi Zaraki is a powerful opponent you know. I wouldn't challenge him just yet. Besides, you don't want to be back at the Squad Four barracks do you?
Moeru Fenikkusu! I suppose you're right. Still, I want to fight him! Can I? Please?!
Hey, it's up to you. I'm only there to help you in battle.
Hehe, thanks Moeru Fenikkusu. You are the best Zanpakuto ever!
I know, I know. If you are going to fight Zaraki, then I suggest you get some rest, as you'll need your strength for the hardship that is yet to come.
Got it. Thanks Moeru Fenikkusu. Drakerla closed his eyes and tried to get to sleep, within half an hour, he was out like a light.

Eight hours later, in the Squad Eleven barracks...

Captain Zaraki sat his desk. He was very bored. "Man, things have been so boring around here lately. I need someone to fight! Why did Ichigo have to stay in the World of the Living?!" He exclaimed, suddenly a small little girl with pink hair popped up from behind the captain's shoulder. "Don't worry Kenny, I'm sure you'll get someone to fight soon! You just gotta wait for a little bit, that's all!" Yachiru, who was Zaraki's lieutenant, said. Kenpachi sighed, and walked out of the room, once he got outside, he was greeted by Drakerla. "Hey Kenpachi! I'm ready to take you up on your offer!" He said with a massive grin on his face, Zaraki returned the grin and said, "Finally! I thought you were going to be a coward and just avoid me forever! Let's do this!" He unsheathed his zanpakuto and ran out to the training ground, where Drakerla followed him. When they arrived in the training ground, Ikkaku Madarame was beating up some of his other squad members. "Get out of here! I'm about to have some fun!" Exclaimed Kenpachi. In an instant, everyone had evacuated the training ground, not wanting to get caught in between the fight between their captain and Drakerla. Drakerla unsheathed his zanpakuto and took a stance, then without warning, Kenpachi charged at him and brought down his zanpakuto. Drakerla flash stepped out of the way and slashed him on the back. A look of surprise came across Kenpachi's face. "Heh, a quick flash step huh? I guess that runs in the Kuchiki family." He said, Drakerla smiled and replied, "Yeah, I guess it does. But this is all my own thing." A massive grin appeared on Drakerla's face. He sheathed his zanpakuto, when it clinked with its scabbard; several dozen slashes had been inflicted on the tall man in front of Drakerla. Kenpachi's eyes widened in shock as he realised what just happened. "You bastard, Kuchiki." He said as he fell to the ground, giving out a cry of pain as he did so. Drakerla laughed, he was rather pleased with himself. He walked away from the Squad Eleven training ground and went to the Kuchiki Manor; he went straight to his room and slumped onto his bed. Man, that was easy. I can't believe that I beat Zaraki that easily!
Hey remember what I told you, don't get too cocky, what happened back there was luck, you caught Zaraki off guard because he's never seen you flash step before. If you fight again in the future, I'm sure that he'll be expecting it.
Yeah, I guess you're right Moeru Fenikkusu. But still, I won!
Yes, indeed you did. You should get some rest. I know that you're feeling a little dizzy from that fight, and I'm not surprised after what happened last week.
Must you know everything that goes in my body?! But fine, I'll get some rest. I suppose it wouldn't do any good to my squad if I'm not fit for battle.
Wow, you're actually listening to me! Are you feeling alright?
Yeah, I guess last week just knocked a little bit of sense into me. Hehe.


So I hoped you liked the chapter! Again sorry that it's so short. And I have something to tell you guys and girls as well, I might not be able to update much in the half term as I'm going on a Netball Tour in the first week of it. So instead of writing chapters I'll be playing netball! Hehe, yeah but I'll try and get a lot up in the second week of half term when I'm not stuffing my face with chocolate Easter Eggs! :D So cya next chapter!
