When Kenpachi woke up he could tell he was in a different environment, bright lights surrounded him as he tried to move his hands to shield his eyes. His arm wouldn't move from his side, feeling like it was made of lead. He groaned as the lights made him have a headache, hissing in pain as he struggled to sit up. He couldn't feel his legs as if they were numb

'I remember being in the forest…then something attacked…I killed it but…' he squinted his eyes from the pain pulsing in his head.

Looking around he noticed he was in some type of Infirmary. All white walls and tiled floors, medical cabinet and everything else usually in an infirmary.

. He heard voices outside the door, then the turning of a doorknob. He closed his eyes again, trying to stop his headache from getting worse as someone entered the room.

"What are you doing? You shouldn't be up right now!" yelled a woman in a stern voice.

He opened his eyes a little to peer at the newcomer. He could hear her heels click clacking on the tiled floor towards him, making his headache worse from each step. He felt soft hands pushing him back down.

"You need more rest. You're lucky we were able to get that poison out of you in time." She grumbled.

Kenpachi chose to just listen to the voice, not having the energy to argue with the woman, so closing his eyes he drifted off into sleep once again.

Ikkaku grew irritated as he tried once again to get Yumichika to stop cuddling him in his sleep. Every time they slept in the same area, Yumichika would latch onto the nearest person, which most of the time was Ikkaku.

No offense, he really did like Yumichika and didn't mind his sleeping behavior as much. He just didn't like cuddling when he was trying to get some sleep.

"Yumi, wake up already!" he growled. Pushing him off again, Yumichika tried to grab him close so he could cuddle him. After 15 minutes, Ikkaku gave up and just laid there. "Well it can't get any worse?" he whispered.

Hearing a loud snore from beside him he grimaced, tempted to hit himself in the head."Apparently it can…"

"Oh Baldyyyyyy! Wake up!" said his chipper Lt. Yachiru. She hopped her way over to him and jumped on his stomach, patting his cheeks to wake him up. "Get up! Get up! Get up!" she sang in a happy tone.

Ikkaku got up, knocking off Yachiru as Yumichika was sprawled on the ground still sleeping.

"Alright I'm up. Let's just hurry up and find the Captain." He tried to wake up Yumichika but it was fruitless. "Yumi, come on get up. We have to get out of here." He told his friend. All he got in response was a snore.

Yachiru looked down at him and smiled when she got an idea. Cupping her hands around her mouth she yelled loudly, "Oh my god! It's a talking monkey!" rights near his ear.

"Ahhhhhh!" Yumichika screamed, as he climbed up a nearby tree and shook in fear.

Ikkaku laughed his ass off, watching Yumichika as he looked around for the monkey.

"I can't believe you're afraid of monkeys." laughed out Ikkaku.

"Shut up! This one talked. It's not normal for monkeys to talk." said Yumichika as he climbed down from the tree.

"I think a talking monkey would be nice." said Yachiru.

"Yeah right. It's just unnatural." Yumi argued.

"I beg your pardon but I am not unnatural!" said Pachi, swooping down near the three humans.

Ikkaku's laughter died down as he looked at the monkey. "Uh…did he…just talk…"

Yumichika and Yachiru nodded as they all stared at the monkey. Yachiru laughed and hugged the monkey, squeezing it to death. "He's so cute. Ohh and soft." She started to play with his tail when slipped out of her grasp.

"Hey, Do not mess with MY tail!" he said. He snatched his tail away, keeping it close as he carefully watched out for the crazy child. Pachi hopped up into a tree, making sure he was safe.

"Ok. Please don't start freaking out like this lad over here did the day before Also keep that demonic child away from me." he said with a glare in Yachiru's direction. "My name is Pachi and I was sent here to come and get you so I could lead you back to the castle."

"Sent you? Who would send a monkey to get people?" wondered Yumichika.

"How do you know we can trust you too?" said Ikkaku suspiciously.

Yumichika was cowering behind Ikkaku, still frightened of the monkey.

Pachi understood their mistrust but he was determined to get them there safely. " I know it seems farfetched to trust a monkey, but I have a question. Are you looking for someone?" he asked.

"You know where Ken-chan is?" asked Yachiru happily.

Pachi nodded and told them that their captain was at the castle, resting in the infirmary.

Pachi told them to hurry up and follow him to the castles location.

"What happened to him?" asked Ikkaku as he pursued behind the monkey.

"He was poisoned by a strange creature that was lurking in the gardens. I don't know specifically about what happened but we were able to get the poison out in time." Said Pachi, hopping from one tree to another. "I will finish answering your questions when we get to the castle."

All of them nodded, quickly heading to the castle.

++++++++Line+++++++++

Frost stared at the door, pondering on whether she should go inside and check up on the man. Sighing, she put her hands over her face as she tried to figure out her emotions. She was worried for the captain; he was just poisoned by one of the rare creatures rarely seen in the forest.

'Or maybe you just care about him' supplied her conscious.

She shook her head at the thought. She told herself long ago that she was not going to fall for some man just like the other women out in the world.

Frost thought about what she felt when she saw Kenpachi's prone figure, not moving at all. She did not want to admit it but she felt fear when she saw him like that. It was a scary thought. She looked up when Veenia came up to the door.

Veenia was a smart woman, strong intelligent and knew what to do in medical emergencies. She was the doctor of the castle, anyone was sick she would know the antidote, vaccine, and tell anything about what was wrong. She had a unique appearance. Oval glasses framed her face, enhancing her mismatched discolored eyes, one was deep red the other a pale yellow, almost like a cat's eye. Looking closely, you could the faint mark of a scar near her right eye hindering her beauty slightly, it wasn't as noticeable unless you really studied her face. Her curly hair was a deep violet color, pulled up into a high braid, the tail trailing over one of her shoulders and ending at her chest.

Veenia walked out of the infirmary, making sure everything was in order as she checked up on everything. She walked over to Frost informing her about his condition.

"He's fine, stubborn and hard-headed for sure, but fine. He just needs more rest so that his body can get back in order before he starts moving around too much. I must say you picked an interesting one." Veenia smirked as she saw the expression on her friend's face.

Frost looked like a deer in headlights after that comment, gaping with her mouth open like a fish. "Wha-No! it isn't like that. He isn't one of those annoying suitors that try desperately to get my attention. Not to mention, he isn't exactly the type to woo someone with his charms, more like to see them beg for mercy or cry." She said,

"Oh, so he doesn't know about your status then, that's why he isn't afraid to show his true personality. Oh I get it, that is a clever plan, good job. I never would have thought of that myself. Pretend to be a commoner and they will show their true personality instead of a posh and refined man as they think they should be. It's brilliant!" she laughed heartily, patting Frost on the back.

Frost groaned, "That is not what I was doing Veenia! I don't even know where he came from." Folding her arms, she bites her lip trying to think of anything else besides this awkward conversation.

"Well if it was me, I would have had a go at him, he seems like my type. Moreover…"she lifted Frost's chin, making eye contact with each other."I have never seen you show so much concern to anyone that wasn't your little sister. Do not even begin to argue because you know it's true!" Veenia said in stern voice, making Frost swallow her objection.

"I can't hide anything from you huh?" chuckled Frost.

Veenia smiled and shook her head. "Of course, Empathy is my gift after all."

"Oh yea, forgot you were an empathy. That gift can be very annoying at times." grumbled Frost.

"Who you telling? I have to put up with all kinds of emotions; including mine. It makes me feel more stressed than a regular Doctor."

"Your Highness!" bellowed a voice down the hall.

Both of them turned to see a man briskly walking down the hallway towards their location. He stopped just a few feet from them and smiled, letting out a sigh of relief. "Thank goodness you are safe and sound your highness. I was worried in fright when I heard about what had happened." Grasping Frost's hand, he kissed the back of her hand, "I am truly grateful to see you are unharmed. But I must ask where our young hero is?"

"He is in the infirmary now, resting after the procedure he just went to get the poison out." said Frost coldly, snatching her hand away. '…and he isn't that young.' she finished in her mind.

A look passed over his face after hearing the news, but it quickly disappeared. "I am so glad to hear that. We should throw a celebration for him; he is a hero after all for protecting our beloved Queen."

Veenia caught the look on his face before it vanished.

"Ozyrel, I am fully capable of handling myself. How many times must I tell you that before you get it through your thick skull?"She stated.

Ozyrel smirked and grabbed Frost around her waist with lightening reflexes, holding her close to him, as he held her wrist in his other. "That is one of the many reason why you are absolutely divine and beautiful, making the prize of having you even more enticing," he whispered in her ear, taking a whiff of the exotic aroma she had about her.

Growling, she shoved him away, "I highly doubt I would choose someone like you as my lover."

He smirked, "We will see. I bid you farewell, I have a celebration to plan." walking back the way he came.

Frost shook her head. "That man is always finds a way to get under my skin." She clenched her fist and stormed her way into the infirmary room.

"He is a pain in the aspirin." Veenia looked after his retreating form, narrowing her eyes in suspicion. 'I wonder what he's up too…'
