Yachiru giggled, pointing in random directions while on Kenpachi's shoulder. She claimed that she wasn't lost, but it was obvious that she was. Kenpachi didn't seem too annoyed though.
"Look!" Yachiru squealed as she hopped off Kenpachi's shoulder. "Look, Ken-chan, look!" Yachiru pointed at Hanatarou, who was strolling down one of the streets of Seireitei.
"Wha-what?!" Hanatarou noticed a little girl with pink hair running towards him. As soon as he realized that it was Yachiru, he fell over in his clumsiness and fright. In his hand were three brightly-colored balls. One was red, one was violet, and one was orange.
"Candy! Candy! Candy!" Yachiru shouted in sheer glee. "Caaaaandyyyyy!" She giggled, and snatched the three candies from Hanatarou, popping all three into her mouth.
"Wha-wait!" Hanatarou stuttered, waving his arms.
"Mmm…" Yachiru licked her lips. "They taste like cherry-flavored gumdrops!"
"B-but…" Hanatarou looked down at his feet with a sigh. He knew what was coming. Suddenly, Yachiru crumpled down into a heap upon the ground. "Th-those…those were not candies! Those were…were… sleeping pills…" Yachiru was completely silent while in slumber. She didn't make a sound, not even a snore. Even her body was completely motionless.
Uh-oh, Hanatarou thought with a gulp as Kenpachi approached him. The Captain of the eleventh squad's bells on his hair tinkled softly with each step.
"This is the quietest she's ever been," Kenpachi said as he stared down at Yachiru with a peering eye.
