Chapter 10: Exile pt. 2
3rd POV
7 months went by in Soul Society and the morning breeze found the Beserker at Squad 4's barracks. Kenpachi visited Lena everyday when he could, checking on her condition and progress. Yachiru tagged along on these visits and she was just as sad as her captain. Seeing his lena in a holding cell made him feel quilty. that day after arresting her he noted that in his quarters she had made some lunch. three cups and three plates. the third cup and plate was probably for yachiru. Ichigo and the others visited when they could and Ichigo especially sympathize with Lena. "Battling your inner hollow" he joked with Kenpachi but kenpachi wasnt in the mood for jokes.
What was going on in his mind was the final fact that he was gonna be a father. Now the whole thirteen squads were debating with the head captain on what to do with her and her unborn child. Kenpachi was there for the meeting but after that he was exempt from attending anymore meetings revolving round Lena. He hopes she awakes so that he could talk and joke with her and come up with a name for the baby if its a boy or a girl. One evening the Head Captain called for another meeting and this time Kenpachi was to attend. Swallowing a lump in his throat he went to the meeting and for the first good half of the meeting wasnt about lena mostly bullshit about adding a new Sect that held Vizards with Ichigo as the Captain. during that half Kenpachi's mind turned to a different matter which was focused solely on his warrior Queen.
"Kenpachi?" came Toshiro's voice broke through Kenpachi's thoughts and the beserker just looked at him without turning his head.
"Did you hear what the verdict was?"
"He didnt, his mind was elsewhere." Bakuya coldly stated clearly still hurt from the vizard form of his "Lena" words. Kenpachi caught the underhand meaning of that statement and his eyes narrowed dangerously.
"So, what's the verdict?" Kenpachi hid his nervousness but his body was tense with it. The Head Captain eyed the Captains one by one and finally looked squarely at Kenpachi as if he was the only one in the meeting. Clearing his throat, the Head Captain announced the verdict.
"She'll be spared from the execution and be exiled under the penalty of death should she step foot in Soul Society."
"Why exile!?" Bakuya's outburst placed him in the spotlight of attention. A growl eminated from Kenpachi but Bakuya ignored it and tried to keep his face blank of emotion but failed miserably.
"She's with child and who's to say the child will be either a vizard like ichigo or human."
"How bout exile her the world of the living, and stationed her at Master Urahara's place." Unahana piped up and Kenpachi looked at the 4th captain gratitude shining brightly in his eyes. she gave a brief nod and looked back to the Head Captain waiting. The Head Captain thought on it and he briefly thought back to when Lena and Himself sat down for tea and had a heated debate about which laws would benifit the Society. and when she laughed he felt at peace, and he even nicknamed her "Le" and called her"Watashi no Musume" coming back to reality he gave his final anwer to the segesstion.
"so be it." and then he dismissed the meeting. while everyone filed out Kenpachi went to Unohana and fell to his knees groveling in thanks.
"Get up off your knees Kenpachi, its embarrasting and so unlike you..." Kenpachi got up and wipethe tears that were present and quickly left to tell Lena the news if she'd waken yet.
