Rai once again was back in Karakura Town, on her way home. She really regretted the way it had ended with Kenpachi, that it had ended at all. She unlocked the door to her twostorie house and stepped in. It had felt big before and now, for some reason, it felt empty too. She made some tea and went out on the balconny. How had it all started?

It could have been earlier, but she thought it had began on the last night of the October carneval in Seireitei. She had been moved to the 11th squad from the 4th and had only been there a week or so. Some people still harassed her for having been in the 4th squad and tonight Ikkaku was drunk and had a go at her for not wearing the traditional shinigami uniform. She had never worn a proper uniform, so why the hell should she start now? The fight had been mostly for show off, but when Zaraki-taichou had broken it up, both of them had some nicks and bruises. She and Ikkaku had thrown angry glares at eachother the remaining of the night, but she had not understood the glances and risen eyebrows from the taichou. The night had been great with lots of food and saké and she had really enjoyed sitting with Yachiru in her lap telling stories to the little fukutaichou from her time in Europe. It was odd for anyone habited in Soul Society to have memories from their previous life, but Rai knew all in detail. In the end it had been only her, Ikkaku, Yumichika and the taichou left and when she announced she was going to bed the taichou had offered to walk her home. She had said no thank you to him, but he had followed anyhow. He thought he was unnoticed, but Rai knew he was there, yes she did. A drunk Kenpachi was as subtle as a elephant wearing pink. When she was about to open the door to her room a zanpaktou embedded itself in the wood just inches from her head. She spun around and slashed at whomever was standing behind her. It turned out to be the taichou. Her sword didn't draw blood.

- You weren't set on cutting me, he grinned at her.

- Not really no.

- Wanna have another shot?

- Nope, I want to go to bed.

- Want some company?

- Taichou! She sounded offended. Can you really just do like that?

- As long as noone knows, how can they care?

Rai shrugged at his answer and walked inside. She left the door open so he could follow if he decided he was serious or not. He decided to follow. It was dark in the room and without thinking, Rai released her bankai, using her flaming blades as lamps. Then she remembered that the taichou was there and cursed silently.

- So you can use bankai, he said, what an interesting little secret.

- I don't make a fuss of it and it's kinda handy.

She walked over to him, her eyes in level with his chest. Suddenly she was clinging to his shoulder, much like Yachiru used to.

- Hmm, she said, this is actually quiet comfy.

- No wonder Yachiru likes you, he grinned, your brains operate the same way.

Rai jumped down from his back, yawned and undid her bankai turning the room all black again. She undressed and slipped in between the bedsheets. She suddenly felt herself yanked up and found herself staring into the face of a wickedly grinning Kenpachi. His free eye glittered and so did his teeth. He had a feral air around him.

- Let's do something fun, he hissed.

He shoved his tongue into her mouth and she felt his naked chest against her. Her feet touched cloth so he had atleast not taken off his hakama. When he finally released his lips Rai was almost out of air.

- You moron, she slapped him, I have smaller lungs than you! Are you trying to smother me?

Then a game of kissing, caressing, biting and scratching began. She loved the coppery taste of blood in her mouth and she saw that it didn't leave him unaffected, judging from the bulge in his pants. At one time she had his arms locked with her legs and she started to undo his hakama belt with her free hands.

- Oh no you don't, he growled and threw her at the bed and she started wondering if he had just come here to tease her.

He pinned her down and poised his head between her legs. He started to lightly lick the inside of her thighs, slowly working his way toward the middle. He circled around her clit, carefully avoiding it and when he finally landed his tongue on it she hissed and grabbed his hair, making the bells jingle. He took her to the edge of climax a few times, but stopped just as she was about to fall over the edge. She cursed, threatened and finally begged him to let her go, but he kept on teasing her. At that time she decided to break free and make him do what she wanted. It only resulted in her laying on her belly instead, ass up in the air. She heard the rustling of cloth and then felt his dick pressed against her buttcheeks. She guessed he had to be 10 inches long atleast. She was aching now to feel him inside her and she did everything to make him slide into her, but he had other plans. He stood up and lifted her up, head downwards. He put one hand on the backside of her head, moving it towards his erection. She understood the hint and started licking the shaft, avoiding the glans as he had avoided her clit before. Meanwhile he had started licking her pussy again, sticking his tongue deep inside her. She decided to take him all down her troath or atleast as much as she could, and when she did she heard him groan loudly. After a while he put her down on the floor and ordered her to lay down on the bed. She did and he started sliding his dick back and forth her crotch, wetting himself. When he tried to slid into her she whined.

- Damnit, she said, you're hung like a horse, it will never fit.

- Got any oil or something?

- There should be some lube in the top drawer, she said and he went looking.

He found a halffull bottle.

- What have you been doing, he asked smirking.

- Shut it and get back to business.

And so he did. He smeared himself and her with a rich amount of lube and this time it didn't hurt Rai half as much as it had done before, but it still hurt. But thankfully, the worst of the pain was replaced with pleasure as he started thrusting into her. He soon got bored of this ordinary position and pulled out of her. He lifted her up and pinned her against a wall before sliding inside her again. Rai felt the hard wood against her back and the hard chest of her taichou, Zaraki Kenpachi, against her breasts and she felt caught in a trap. But it was a trap that she didn't want to escape from. When she had come 3 times he decided it was his turn and he began to ferociously bang into her. After a few minutes he spilled himself over her belly and sank to his Rai once again sat on the bed she lit the room again using her bankai.

- Kenpachi, she said, my back itches. Mind checking what it is?

- Splinters, he answered.

- You bastard, you got them there, you get them out!

He grinned at her and started pulling the long wooden splinters out of her back with his teeth, licking the blood from the small sores. When he was done, 10 or so splinters lay on the floor and Rai once again slipped in between the bedsheets. She gestured for him to follow. As he crept down beside her, she decided that it felt rather nice having his massive body beside her.

Rai's tea had gone cold as she was lost in memories. She sighed and went in to get some new. Their games had escalated and poor Unohana-taichou had had to work overtime treating them. When Rai felt the first stirrings of a force inside her, later known as her inner hollow, she had fled Seireitei for the real world. It had taken 15 long years to learn how to controll it and now when she finally could get back to living in Seireitei she had flinched. She cursed herself. She did indeed miss Kenpachi and she desperately hoped that it would go away over time.
