Umm…sorry for not updating? Actually I had gone of FF for a while due to a certain site called mangafox but I'm over that now…not really I just got capped due to over use of it but that's another story. And now I'm on summer holidays for the next 2 months and I reckon I'll get a lot more done on my various fics. I have another bleach one up. It was originally going to be a oneshot but now I'm considering making it into a series of unrelated one-shots. Anyway, back to grovelling…thanks for all the favs-they make me feel guilty enough to keep on writing. 

A/N: Kaa-chan is a way to say mother in japan so don't get confused with Ka-chan which is Kaiia's nickname. Gaki is Japanese for brat. I figured it fits better with the fic and I can't be bothered to go back and change what I've already written.

Disclaimer: I don't own Bleach. Or Krispy Kremes. I want them though. Feel free to give them to me. Hint hint.

It was a peaceful day in the shinigami academy. The birds were singing, the only sound in the otherwise silent halls. In one of said halls was a small teenager with silver hair and golden eyes that were narrowed at another new recruit whose clothes currently had orange juice running down them because of an unfortunately placed broom.

"I'm going to kill you gaki!" the yet-unnamed shinigami yelled.

"Try me kid. And why did you call me a gaki. Do I have it written on my forehead or something?" Kaiia replied coolly. Her patience was thin with weak people.

"I'll teach you to respect your superiors, gaki." He sneered, not knowing the danger he was putting himself in.

"I only respect those worthy of my respect. Like Ken-chan. And Onii-chan." She beamed at him, noticing him paling as he remembered who she had walked into the academy with.

"They aren't here to protect you now gaki so prepare yourself." He tried to cover his fear by threatening her. Well, they do say the best defence is a good offence.

"F*** off" She punched him in the face and sent him flying into the wall behind him. They were wrong in this instance. Kaiia turned round to glare at every other person in the vicinity who looked anything less then shit scared. Many prayers of thanks went out to their respective gods as she turned and stalked off, kicking the kid in the stomach as she went.

"Stupid effing gakis who get jealous just 'coz I know the taichous…argghh!!!!" She yelled the last part, her temper finally getting the better of her once she was alone. "I've been here for four months and the still don't get it."

"Usually the yelling comes before the beating." Ukitake remarked.

"Oh, it did. I just thought that he might run away in the time it took me to finish my rant." She said.

"I see…so what's new with my favourite female shirou-chan?" He asked, smiling. Kaiia smiled back.

"Kaa-chan!!!" A small blob of pink and black bowled her over and into a brick wall. Funny, there weren't any walls behind her.

"Hey Yachiru, what's up? Stop calling me kaa-chan. One a, repeat after me. Ka-chan."

"At least it's better then gaki, right gaki?" Why was the wall behind her speaking? Oh, that's right. It was her favourite captain.

"Ken-chan! You're back!" She turned around and tried to hug him. Unsuccessfully since a) he pulled away and b) she couldn't fit her arms around him without careful manoeuvring because of his size and her lack of it. Not that she hadn't tried. Multiple times.

"I didn't go away. Don't hug me." Kenpachi glared down at her, trying not to ruffle her hair just like Yachiru's. She hated it when he did that.

"But I haven't seen you for ages." She whined.

"A week. Don't whine it's not shinigami-like." Ukitake and Kaiia snorted, pictures of Kyoraku drunk of his face and trying to get Nanao to join in springing unbidden to their minds.

"But a week is a long time when I don't have anyone else to talk to." She smiled up at him and he realised exactly what she meant.

"You still don't have any friends?"

"Why does that sound like an accusation?" she pouted.

"Coz Ken-chan wants kaa-chan to be happy." Yachiru said from her perch on Kenpachi's shoulders.

"Why kaa-chan?" Kaiia asked, wondering why she'd been labelled as such by the adoptive daughter of Kenpachi.

"Coz you're ken-chan's girlfriend and since he's tou-san you're kaa-chan." Silence ensued as did Kenpachi staring at Yachiru and Kaiia going red and looking anywhere but at him.

"Nice logic. Why're you guys here by the way?" Kaiia tried to cover her embarrassment with questions. Her success: nada.

"Apart from wanting to see you shirou-chan we've been asked to take a few classes because a certain teacher of yours was…made unable to perform certain tasks."

"Hey, he asked me to spar. Not the other way 'round." Kenpachi laughed and Kaiia glared at him. It wasn't funny, not when she'd had to go through three weeks of detention.

"I didn't say anything."

"You didn't have to." She glared even harder and he cut off his laughter. No-one would have kept on going unless they were mad.

"So you're back in uniform shirou-chan?" Ukitake asked, inwardly amused at the antics of three of his favourite people. The topic was a sore point for Kaiia and he knew it. She had refused to wear the uniform when it became apparent that guys got to wear blue and she was stuck with red. She had scandalised the academy by showing up in her usual western style clothes and had been "put out" (to put it politely) when she'd been refused training until she wore the uniform. This had become a regular occurrence-her breaking rules she didn't like then adhering to the necessary ones and ignoring the ceremonial ones. It was a good system.

"Only until I learn kido."

"Ok, have fun in it for the next five years and eight months." Ukitake grinned at her.

"Or three months. I'm getting advanced lessons coz they reckon I'm too disruptive left to my own devices." He blanched. No way could she master shinigami level kido in just seven months. Even Hitsugaya had taken one and half years! He sneaked a glance at Kenpachi. The captain shrugged and grinned the girls arrogance. Who was he to interrupt her good mood. The training would do that for him.

"I feel sorry for the poor wretch who has to train you." He settled for saying.

"Wretches. Plural, shirou-chan. Nanao and Momo said they'd train me in return for cookies."

"Cookies…" the men were confused. What did cookies have to do with kido?

"Kaa-chan makes the best cookies! They're all soft and yummy. And sweet." Yachiru started to drool at the thought of them. Kaiia decided she would make some for the pink fuzzball. She figured it would make them both happy and give her a reason to eat chocolate.

"We have class now by the way." Kenpachi said, walking towards the sparring ring.

"Ooh! Fun! Can I have a round with you, Ken-chan?" Kaiia begged.

"No. I have to teach. Tomorrow, maybe." He shortened his stride. His normal one was as long as four of Kaiia's. Damn she could move those little legs fast. It was kinda funny, watching her almost run to keep up with him. Well, funny until she gave up and jumped onto his back. Then it was annoying.

"Get off."

"No." Kaiia bunched her hands into his haori and refused to let go no matter how hard he tried to pull her off of him. Eventually he stopped trying and simply said: "If you don't get off I'll spread the rumour that you're my girlfriend." Needless to say she was on the ground and sprinting towards the sparring ring as quickly as she could. Yeah, life was great.

So…heh heh heh…This didn't turn out as well as I'd wanted it to. It's more of a filler then anything else though I think it was needed to get the situation and relationships established. Umm…time skip of 4 months unless you guys hadn't noticed. Next chapter most likely up tomorrow or the day after. Fun, ne?
