Author's note: I don't own anything.
Kukaku couldn't believe just how much paperwork as required to keep the division running smoothly but luckily she was able to pass most of it off to Hinamori and her new third seat Yamada Hanatarou who had been asked to transferred to fifth after finding out that Ganju was there.
"I still can't believe I agreed to allow your boyfriend into my division." Kukaku said to Ganju over dinner. "He does the bulk of your paperwork sis; I think it was a fair compromise considering you choose to lie to me about being a shinigami." Kukaku kicked Ganju in the head and walked out the door deciding to visit eleventh division.
Kukaku was close to eleventh when she was stopped by Soi Fong and Nanao. "How can you stand going to eleventh, all they do is drink and fight," Nanao said wrinkling her nose at the thought of eleventh division. "It's pretty simple when you think of how I've lived in Rukongai all these years and I'm betting on finding a few good fights before the nights over." Kukaku took off into a run at this point deciding she didn't want to listen to them any longer.
She had been in a few fights as soon as she got into eleventh division but none that excited her. As she moved closer to the middle of Eleventh she ran into Kenpachi. "Why are ya here, I know our divisions the only one without pansies but ya avoid me and Yachiru like were the plague whatever that means?" Kukaku folded her arms as she said, "I don't know about you but I don't take to well to marriage proposals out of the blue." "I ain't never said anything like that woman!" Kukaku shrugged at his yelling "If I remember right Yachiru said she wanted me to be her mom whether you want to believe it or not she sees you as her dad." She could tell that Kenpachi seemed unhinged by this news and started walking up to him only to be tackled to the ground by Yachiru.
"Ku – Chan are you going to live with me and Ken – Chan from now on?" Kukaku got up having some trouble with Yachiru on her shoulder. "I'm Taicho of fifth division so I live there I can't live here." Kukaku said trying to make it sound like there was no way to argue with it. "Ken – Chan you can do anything, can you get her to live with us?" Kenpachi grabbed Yachiru from off Kukaku's shoulders and started to walk away saying. "How about we make a bet?" Kukaku was intrigued, "What kind of a bet are we talking about?" "You're allowed into eleventh division so long as I don't find ya in three months, if I find ya before then Yachiru will get to pick what happens to ya." Kukaku thought about it, saying she would but that the entrance into eleventh division was a safe zone as it was the only way for her to enter and leave the division. She walked back to fifth division with confidence as she had been told about how bad Kenpachi was at sensing reiatsu and directions.
"Sis, why would you make that bet with Taicho of eleventh?" Kukaku looked up from her paperwork trying to debate whether kill him or beat him up. She opted for beating him up not wanting to have to deal with cleaning blood of the wood floors. "It's none of your business, and how do you know about that?" Kukaku by now had gotten up from her desk and stood menacing over Ganju who had yet to get off the floor. "Multiple people in Eleventh after it was announced by their Taicho this morning, all of the divisions have started holding bets on who will win." By the time Ganju had finished Kukaku had been thinking about the error she had made when she agreed to the bet.
It had been two weeks since the bet started. Kukaku had spent little time in Eleventh after she realized that Kenpachi had ordered his men to stall her for as long as they could. Luckily she soon realized that and got out of eleventh before he had gotten to where she was. She had started doing the bulk of her paperwork after that just so she would have a reason as to why she hadn't been out of her division. Kukaku dreaded when she was called to appear at a Taicho meeting knowing she'd have to see Kenpachi.
The meeting went about as well as she had suspected but she had been surprised by the fact that Kenpachi had actually brought up the bet at the meeting. Kukaku had hoped that Yamamoto would have seen her doing her own paperwork as a sign that she was taking her job more seriously. It didn't go in her favor however as Yamamoto had ordered that she went back to the routine that she had had before the bet was made and that included the amount of time she spent in Eleventh.
Kukaku knew that the bets in all the divisions were in favor of Kenpachi wining but so far she hadn't been caught as of yet and with only a month left before the bet ended it didn't seem like she could lose. While the bet annoyed her it also excited her. Kukaku wasn't exactly sure as to why that was since she was so used to always looking over her surroundings at the possibility of being attacked.
Kukaku wasn't all that surprised when Yoruichi showed up in her division considering. "Put on some clothes, I won't tell you anything until you do!" Kukaku stated as she tossed her some clothes. "Mind telling me just how you got Zaraki Kenpachi's full attention without him chasing you down for a fight?" Kukaku began to tell her everything from when she met him up until then. She didn't understand why Yoruichi started to laugh after she finished. "I never thought I'd see the day that you'd fall for a guy Kukaku especially since its Zaraki" Kukaku's eye brow twitched before she exploded "I haven't fallen for anyone it's just a stupid bet!" Kukaku lit her smoking pipe after that needing to calm down before she killed her best friend. "If it was a stupid bet you wouldn't have agreed to it, if it had been anyone else that suggested such a bet would you have agreed?" Kukaku was silent, "From the looks of it this seems like some twisted way of courting you without actually admitting it, I'm surprised it's working considering how barbaric it sounds."
Kukaku smirked saying "you've just become accustomed to having Urahara. If I remember correctly you made him jump through hops before you agreed to even think about going out with him." Kukaku heard Yoruichi grunt after that but soon realized that she had inadvertently admitted that she agreed with Yoruichi's theory.
Yoruichi disappeared after her unintended admission. While Kukaku was happy that she was gone she couldn't help but think she was up to something. "Sis I got a letter here from Soutaicho Yamamoto for you" Kukaku grabbed the letter from Ganju and read what it said. Apparently Kenpachi was refusing to leave Eleventh division for anything and that included Taicho meetings and so she was being ordered to bring him to first division. Kukaku growled if she went she'd lose the bet since there was never anything that said she would be safe from losing if she had to find him. After awhile she realized that she was going to have to go find him as she couldn't send anyone in her place without something happening to them.
"Ikkaku where's Kenpachi?" Kukaku had just gotten to eleventh. "Why are you looking for him the bet hasn't ended yet?" Kukaku glared at him, "Yamamoto ordered me to bring his ass to first I wouldn't be here otherwise" Kukaku watched him wanting an answer but he just took off running.
Kukaku had spent the last hour trying to find Kenpachi. She didn't believe that it was taking this long to find him seeing as how he stood out even if it was eleventh division that she was searching. "Kukaku you can stop looking, Zaraki showed up to first a while ago." Kukaku didn't even bother to look at Soi Fong she just shot of toward first knowing there was going to be some problems.
"I don't need ya to interfere with my bet, if I wanted I could have ended this bet over a month ago!" Kukaku could hear Kenpachi yelling as she got to Yamamoto's office. "What do you mean you could have won a month ago?" Kukaku said pushing the doors open and walked into the office. "Like I said did ya bother to think why I asked ya to accept the bet?" Kukaku was confused now. "If that's so, than why waste all that time?" Kukaku didn't get her answer as she heard hollows screeching.
When Kukaku reached the first division entrance she was met by over a dozen hollows. Kukaku called upon her Zanpakuto and charged at the hollows trying to understand how they got into Seireitei. Kenpachi wasn't far behind Kukaku as they began to take care of the hollows. Kukaku sighed heavily as she finished off another hollow. The battle had been going on for about two hours and every hollow they killed was replaced by two more. By now all the shinigami in Seireitei was fighting the hollows. Kukaku didn't see the Menos Grande that had appeared behind her and sent her flying through two walls.
Kukaku struggled to get up. When she finally did she activated her bankai. Her clothes changed to a golden renaissance era dress and her head wrap into a tiara. Behind her was Tenraidon a bird made of pure lightening. Kukaku began to attack the hollows with everything she had. Kukaku was close to passing out she had been fighting for hours now and with her using her bankai she was losing reiatsu quickly. Kukaku finished off another hollow when she felt the ground shake as a large amount of reiatsu was released. In the air a dragon skeleton appeared and began to attack the hollows with a beam similar to the cero attack of hollows. The dragon began to whip out large amounts of hollows as once and soon there was no more. Kukaku used the last of her energy to find out who was controlling the dragon. She was surprised when she found it to be Kenpachi.
