Haha, guess I suck at deadlines-even ones I set myself but no matter. I said within two days and it's only a couple hours late. It might be a short chapter…depends on how much plot I can think of on the spot. And by the way, I don't actually have a plot for this-just half developed ideas but I'm working on the important stuff, okay? This will probably be longer then it should be as a fic but I'm not complaining.

A/N: I've just realised that last chapter I called Kaiia's hair silver. My bad. Too lazy to fix it up now but just in case you're confused it's white. Hence the shirou-chan.

Disclaimer: Is Ken-chan running around doing the hula in bleah? No. I think you know what that means. Hey…that gives me an idea for this…heh heh heh.

"Listen up gakis coz I'm only gonna say this once! I'm Zaraki Kenpachi taichou of the 11th division and this here is Ukitake Juushirou taichou of the 13th division. The pink fuzzball is Yachiru my fukutaichou and the runt is Kaiia. We're here to tell you bunch of idiots how to pick up that long sharp piece of whatever zanpakutos are made of and wave them about so that they actually hit stuff. I'm gonna teach the fun stuff like stabbing and Ukitake's gonna teach you the boring stuff like shikai. Any questions?" One hand was raised in the silence that follows. Three guesses who.

"What do you want gaki?" He growled. She was still standing beside him like she was going to help out.

"Why did you introduce me? Aren't I gonna be learning from you Ken-chan?"

(A/N: excuse her appalling lack of grammar. She's from Rukongai-not to mention Australia-give her a break.) Kenpachi thought about this for a moment. Tick. Tick. Tick. So quiet was it in the hall that his thought processes could be heard down to every detail. For those of you who are interested, they went a little like this…

Huh?

Oh yeah.

Whatever.

Ignore her.

Moving on.

And that's how much he thinks about what people say…

"Ken-chan shouldn't ignore kaa-chan. It's rude." Yachiru tugged on his sleeve, hoping to get a response out of the annoyed captain.

"I'm not your mother and this is annoying! I want to learn to fight, not listen to boring thought processes."

"Just coz they're not original doesn't mean they're boring. Honestly shirou-chan you can be so cruel sometimes. And" coughing ensues… "Just because you can't do it doesn't make it boring Kenpachi-san." He said, a small smile forming on his lips.

"Ken-chan could do it if he wanted to! He just thinks it's cheating to use his sword's spirit as well. Don't be so mean to Ke-mmphhh!!!" Kaiia's hand over her mouth made speaking impossible but unfortunately not biting.

"OWWW!!!! The fuzzball bit me! Yachiru!!!!" Thankfully at that moment Kenpachi got bored and started to throw random training zanpakutos into the crowd of students. Needless to say the students got out of the way pretty damn fast. Then when he'd run out of swords to throw he sat back and watched them scramble to get to the "best one" (namely the biggest). He knew better. The best one was the one that was sharp and strong. It took common sense to know that and obviously these gakis were missing any manifestation of it.

"Oi, they're only training zanpakutos, there's no need to get violent! Hey! LISTEN TO ME!!!" Kaiai yelled, her temper finally snapping.

"But these will stay with us for the rest of our lives! I don't want some crappy blade that I can't even tell it's in my hand!" This was one of the braver students who wasn't so impressed with Kaiia's friends.

"Huh?" Ukitake grinned. Kaiia's reaction was Kenpachi vocalised.

The girl walked to the front and patiently explained. "We choose our training zanpakuto based on our battle style and they evolve with us to become our real one as we become more powerful. We try our hardest to get the one that suits us best because a good weapon means you'll be stronger." Kenpachi snorted. "Do you find that funny, Zaraki-taichou. Of course you wouldn't know about it since your weapon is merely something you use for cutting people up but I know some people whose zanpakuto has saved their life more than once!"

Kenpachi snorted again.

"Calm down gaki. All that I was saying is that your weapon doesn't make you stronger. You make the weapon stronger. Do you really think that Ichigo would have gotten as far as he could without being strong enough to weild Zangetsu?"

"Uhhh…Zangetsu?"

"His zanpakuto."

"Oh, right. Shoulda picked that one up."

"Probably."

"Now I want to choose one! Come on Shirou-chan let's see what we can find!" Kaiia was intrigued by the idea of having a sword that reacted and changed to meet her needs. Plus she wanted to make sure the idiots in her class didn't pick the wrong ones for themselves. Sometimes she deserved the name Kaa-san.

"Hmm…based on what I've seen you'd need a fairly light zanpakuto with a guard that would protect your hands."

"You calling me weak?"

"No, I'm just assuming that you have a very interesting way of attacking. Lots of sharp, quick jabs instead of blundering in and waving your sword around. Matches your personality. Hard to figure out but deadly nonetheless." He smiled at her to find her blushing at his praise. She shook her head and stopped some idiot from picking up a sword as big as he was to point him towards a shorter but thicker blade that would be easier but more powerful to swing.

"Hey look shirou-chan! It's a pair! They're the exact same except this one has a scratch on it." The two zanpakutos she'd found were identical until she turned them over to show a long scratch that ran the length of the blade, starting at the point then ending in the bottom right corner. They were as long as the length between her elbow and outstretched fingers if she measured them against her arm and pure black as were all of the training swords. Now that she looked closer and actually probed the swords with her reaitsu she realised exactly what was so interesting about them. They were the same zanpakuto, just split into two parts. A smile twisted her lips. Two parts that make up the whole and one of them's marred. How ironic. I think these will suit me quite nicely.

"I'll take them." She grinned and went to find the sheaths that were still in the storage closet, Kenpachi having decided that sheaths weren't fun to throw.

"Kaa-chan! Ken-chan said I don't have any tact." Yachiru came bounding over from where she and Kenpachi had been arguing over her defending of his dubious honor when fighting.

"Tell him that he can only say that when he understands what tact is." She said with a grin. Yachiru grinned and ran back over to Kenpachi to deliver the message and Kaiia laughed when he raised his head to glare at her. Life is fun when you can tease the most fearsome captain in the Gotei 13 and not be made into sushi.

I was going to make this longer but it's now 1.30 in the morning. I'll update in about 10 hours. Night night. *yawn* Oh, and review. It makes me happy.
