God damn my head hurts... It hurts to breathe too.
"Dammit " Kenpachi growled as he tried to sit up and open his eyes. "Zaraki taicho, please lay down!" He was gently, yet forcefully pushed down again. He opened his to see Retsu Onahana and her lieutenant pushing him down.
"Where the hell am I?""You're in the Squad 4 barracks." He reached up to hold his aching head. "Why am I here?" he said tiredly.
Surprised, Onahana said, "You don't remember?" He closed his eyes. "No I do-" He suddenly sat up and recalled what had happened in the days before.
"Yachiru, where is she?" "Is she okay?" He clutched his chest in agony. Blood started to seep through the bandages on his chest."Kenpachi Zaraki, lay down!" Onahana said firmly." Please take it easy!" said lieutenant Isane. Breathing heavily, he lay back down and asked again "Where the hell's Yachiru?" Isane brushed away a strand of hair. "We had her wait outside, I'll go get her."
She hurried away to get the small girl. Kenpachi placed his hands on his face and groaned. How the hell did I let this happen? I'm pathetic…
"Ken-chan!" He looked to the doors to see Yachiru running over. She was sobbing, tears everywhere on her. He put out an arm to her. She grabbed on to it and continued to sob. "I was soooo worried about you Ken-chan!" "I thought you were gonna die!"
His arm shook as the little girl cried. He pulled up his arm, along with her and pushed over so she could lay with him.
She looked at him, not even looking like the same child. Her cheeks were puffy, her eyes extremely red, chin still trembling as the next wave of tears came on. Kenpachi was utter shock at what this had done to her.
She snuggled into him and just sobbed her heart away. He too the Great Kenpachi Zaraki could not stop, bit his lip, then turned his head away as silent tears trickled down his scarred face.
It was now past dusk. Kenpachi lay there, stroking Yachiru's bubblegum pink hair. She lay there sleeping, still breathing shakily from all her crying.
It was peaceful, just laying there. He hear could people outside talking and it served as his background noise.
The door then opened and Kenpachi looked over. In stepped Ikkau, Yumichika following.
"Yo,how ya doing Captain?" said Ikkau walking over.
"How do I look like I'm doing?" Kenpachi replied smartly.
"Point taken." Ikkau said smirking.
Kenpachi looked at Yachiru then asked "When was the last time this girl slept?"
Ikkau stopped smirking and looked down. Yumichika brushed his hair away from his face and acted like he didn't hear.
"Then what was she doing the whole time when I was here?" He growled his response at them, it pissed him off that she was making herself sick over him.
Yumichika looked at Yachiru then smiled sadly. "She just sat there and cried for you..." "Yeah little girl kept sobbing ya name, over and over..." Ikkau said still looking down.
Kenpachi knew he was unconscious for 3 days. He looked at her. "3 sleepless days and nights, all of them full of tears." he mumbled in a voice so low he barely heard himself say it.
He looked at her.
Her chin was still trembling.
He hugged her closer.
You'll never cry again,Yachiru. Not after all these tears have be shed.
