Pairing: There isn't one. I was more aiming for humor, here. Not to mention the fact that Kenpachi is pretty much impossible to pair.

"Failure to Launch"
Kenpachi Zaraki wasn't one for romance. He was allergic to roses, and the only kind of chocolate he ever bought was a handful (which was no small thing, considering the size of his hands) of the little wrapped ones for Yachiru, who ate the things like, well, candy. His brain was filled with blood lust and sake and Yachiru, and he was perfectly happy with it that way. Feelings like the ones that he had seen harbored by people like Kuchiki Byakuya and Kurosaki Ichigo only slowed people down. And so, it was with no happy disposition that he faced the nicely set table and the girl sitting across from him at it. Yes, Yarchiru, Yumichika, and Ikkaku (The later two very, very unwillingly) had set him up on a blind date with out his knowledge, and probably with out the knowledge of the unfortunate girl that now sat across from him, quaking in her Shihakusho*. He knew perfectly well that this would only end in tears.
It did. The girl ran away so fast when it was over that you could practically hear her breaking the sound barrier. Zaraki turned towards his 2nd, 3rd, and 4th seat, his already tremendous reiatsu spiking dangerously. Ikakku and Yumichika wisely retreated, but Yachiru remained where she was, confident that he wouldn't hurt her.
"Yes, Ken-chan?" She asked, tilting her head at the angle that is calculated to melt any heart (and I include such hearts as Ichimaru Gin's and Ulquiorra Schiffer's in that).
Kenpachi glower lessened ever so slightly and he turned away. "Jus' come on."
The pink haired wonder leapt onto his shoulder with a smile.
There's always the next one, she thought cheerily.
Ikkaku and Yumichika remained wary. Their captain was known for punishing them for getting caught up in Yachiru's schemes. One such incident had ended in them cleaning all of the Eleventh company's barracks with a toothbrush after being dipped themselves into a barrel of dung. Both of them remember that incident with the clarity that only a mind scarring incident can achieve.
Yeah, there's always the next one... They sighed, knowing that it was true. Yachiru wasn't giving up until she had found "Ken-chan" some "nice understanding girl".
It never ends...
XOXO
*A Shihakusho is the robe that all Shinigami wear. Yes, it has a proper name.
A/N: Ah, Kenpachi. How do I love thee... (Yeah, nothing exploded this time... except maybe my eyes, since I'm typing this so late at night and I'm tired.)'
I don't really know where this came from. I mean, I've always loved Kenpachi, pretty much since I first met him, but today I was watching Diamond Dust Rebellion (The second Bleach movie.) and it ended up being either writing another Hitsuguya pairing (which I just did, if I remember correctly) or doing something with Kenpachi. No, I don't really know how this was decided. I went with Kenpachi (I figured you guys would want a break from all the Shiro-kun stuff).
At any rate, I wanted to write something short and sweet, since I need a break from Murphy Must Hate Me. I should (theoretically) update that by the end of this week, but don't quote me on that, 'cause I make no promises.
So, read, review, make me happy. :D
