Petty Fight, Petite Heroine

Thanks for all the reviews~

Had been busy but will try to update sooner... I hope... p

Chibi: You guys took me so long! *gets wacked* =p

The herb garden of the fourth division was tranquil.

The medic shinigamies blobbing and swimming in the luscious greenery interestingly added black amongst the bright orange Benibana flowers, clusters of sweet purple Shiso, cheerful yellow blossoms of Habucha and the fiery red fruits of Kuko. Unohana had just finished instructing a small group on how to dry and store the freshly harvested Dokudami, when an urgent voice called out to her from afar.

All attention was turned to the voice. The one calling out must have been shouting all his way to the garden as it took quite a while for him to reach the garden physically. The shinigami dashed out from and turned a corner, ran all the way through and halted before the person he was looking for, "Tai... Tai... Taicho!" he managed between huffs of breath. "Taicho! Please come with me! Hurry!"

The main hall of the fourth division was chaotic.

Unohana hurried to see some twenty to thirty shinigamies fighting in her main hall. She was quickly thinking of ways to make them stop when a calm voice sounded from behind her, "Please allow me, Unohana taicho. before she could turn around to see who had said that, the back view of a bald shinigami appeared from behind, stood before her and bellowed, "EVERYONE STOOOOOP!"

The shinigamies who were involved in the fight were now standing in two groups behind their respective captains. Unohana looked from her own division to the other standing behind Zaraki and back to the most senior shinigami on her side, among those guilty of the fight, "How did it happen?"

"Taicho, they were the one who started it!" he accused with a hand cupping his swollen face. "They kept jeering on us being weaklings and wanted to challenge us to a duel!" at this Unohana turned to frown at the tall captain sitting on the opposite of her. She was sure she could see a belittling look on his face.

"That's not true! Your people ignored us on purpose and kept us waiting when we had already fixed the time for our medical check! How can we take this humiliation down quietly?" one with a black eye from the eleventh division protested out loud and earned agreements from his comrades.

The lady captain shifted her eyes onto Zaraki again, who was silent but fixed his gaze on her. The look on his face, she was sure, was less than apologetic when his squad, who were obviously better fighters, was fighting with hers!

"How can you say that?" another from behind her raised his protest. "We are not like you who had nothing better to do other than getting yourselves hurt and making us busy!" he was so aggregated that his face was getting red. "We have many other things to do than to bandage the same person almost every other day!"

Unohana massaged her temple, trying to rub away the incessant pounding in her head. She looked across at Zaraki once more and asked, "What do you have to say, Zaraki Taicho?"

Zaraki snorted, "It's your division's job to get the people around here well. My division is assigned to fight. There's nothing I can do if your people can't even stand up to a fight decently."

Upon hearing this, Unohana's head stopped hurting immediately. She was been washed up by a rare, given her temperament, flood of anger, "I would not demand an apology since you have clearly stated your stand and I could not deny that my men are not as well trained in the field of martial arts as yours." she gracefully stood up and gave the whole of the eleventh division a gentle smile, " But just a word of advice, taicho of the eleventh division. Please be sure that your men are as well trained in the medical field as my men, for you may not know when they might be careless."

Zaraki's eye widened and shot the slight woman before him an are-you-challenging-me- lady-? glare. He stood up suddenly and intimidating with his height. Before he could threaten, his pink-haired ward scurried down from his shoulder and flew towards Unohana.

Yachiru stopped at Unohana's feet and looked up at her with big innocent eyes, "Ne, Unohana taicho! Are you going to do something to them?" Unohana smiled at her cuteness, "Not really..." but that was not enough to convince the SWA chair... girl and she tugged on the long sleeves of the lady captain and pouted, "I had wanted them to play with me after their checkup today..."

Studying the wave of commotion going through the eleventh division, Unohana thought what could be a better punishment than this? "No, kai-cho. I'm really not going to do anything to them. They are all yours" seeing the brightened face of the little girl and her hop back to her taicho, Unohana's anger was somewhat settled.

As she turned to leave her main hall, "Goodbye Zaraki taicho, pardon me for not seeing you to the door."
