Disclaimer: I do not own Bleach. I don't even know if I own the OC people…

Flare fluttered her eyes open as she heard voices talking in the room. She turned over in the bed to see who were the ones making all the noise and disturbing her rest.

Looking over she spotted Frost arguing with the man she saw before she blacked out.

She let out a small "Eep" and curled into her herself, becoming intimidated by the man's appearance.

Neither of the two occupants noticed or ignored the sound. "Kenpachi, stop moving around so much. I can't get the bandage on without you squirming so much." Frost was frustrated.

Kenpachi growled and rolled his shoulder, stretching it out, "Che. Why? The wound is almost healed, so I don't see any point in bandaging it."

Frost let out a deep sigh, "Just because it's almost healed doesn't mean it can't get infected. Quit being so irritating and stop squirming!" she yelled, pulling his arm back in her grasps, seeing him wince in pain. She finished wrapping the gauze around his shoulder.

Flare watched the two of them in silence, seeing how they behaved and the way Frost was treating him. It seemed like they got along good. 'I've never seen Frost act this way before, so concerned over someone besides me. She doesn't even like men all that much…Here I am fearing men all because of some event that took place. Frost isn't able to do her job fully because she is worried about me. Maybe…I'm a burden for her…'Flare began to contemplate about her decision, feeling bad about keeping Frost from finding happiness.

She continued studying their behavior, paying close attention while trying not be too conspicuous.

Frost smiled and laughed at what Kenpachi said, making a frown form on his face. Apparently she was laughing at him for something he said. Kenpachi pulled Frost close, smirking as he saw the blush form on her face. Kenpachi whispered something in her ear that made her push him away and start yelling obscenely.

"NO, you have to wear something presentable to the celebration. That is why there will be a tailor coming in tomorrow morning, he will size you all have everything ready by tomorrow evening. Stop arguing about this because I am not changing my mind."

Kenpachi scowled, not happy about the decision. "God this is going to be annoying. Then what the hell are you wearing then?" he asked her.

"I will be wearing something different also. I am not fond of dressing up either you know: especially in frills, sparkles, and crap." She made a face as she imagined the outrageous gown she'd be forced to wear, making her look like an Eskimo could live under her dress.

Kenpachi tried to imagine her in something ridiculous and started laughing. "Heh, I am sure you will look really…nice…HAHAHA!" he busted out laughing.

Frost started yelling at him, "It isn't funny!"

"What celebration?" Flare asked, sitting up fully in bed.

"Flare your awake," said Frost in surprise. "Do you want some water?"

"Yes please."

"OK, Be right back." Frost walked out to get some water.

Flare turned her attention to the man sitting one bed over from her. She gulped and said in a meek voice. "W-what is…the c-celebration…about?"

Kenpachi eyed her carefully. "It's to congratulate me for saving Frosty's life apparently; so their throwing a big party to celebrate. I find it ridiculous but I decide not to argue over free booze."

Ophelia went down to her lab and started working on the new project she was told to do. She was excited and a bit scared at what she was told to do. "I hope this works out, or else this could cause a big mess."

"What could be a big mess?" asked Pachi. He was hanging upside down on a small ledge with his tail keeping him from falling down.

Ophelia jumped in surprise, holding her hand to heart. "Geez Leweeze Pachi, You scared the pixy out of me." Ophelia breathed deeply and sat down at her desk.

Pachi jumped down to sit on the desk to the right, so he wouldn't be in her way.

Ophelia booted up her computer began to design the set up for the new project as she explained what she was doing to Pachi.

"I am making a portal to another world. It is quite risky but I believe I can find the right world they belong to."

Ophelia started tapping some keys, files popping up on the screen with data about traveling through dimensions.

Pachi scratched his behind and watched her, trying to figure out what she was thinking. "You don't really want them to go huh?" he asked.

Ophelia stopped typing to look at him. "What? That is ridiculous. They need to go to their own world and I don't know what is going to happen if they stay here in this dimension." She argued.

Veenia walked into the lab and placed her hand on Ophelia's shoulder, smiling when she felt her jump.

"It's ok to admit it, you don't want Kenpachi and them to go yet. Frost s opening up more and she may even have feelings for the man." Veenia said straight away,

Ophelia cast her eyes downward and sighed. "It's been a long time since Frost has been happy. She hasn't even be smiling like she used too. Now this guy come out o the sky, literally, and just brings forth all these emotions on her we haven't seen in years. AND ALL HE DID WAS FIGHT HER!" Ophelia grabbed her pigtails and made a 'grrr' sound.

"This is confusing you and I understand. But, this is an opportunity for us."

"Opportunity?" Ophelia looked puzzled.

"The party is tomorrow night. Who's to say we can't have fun with this and play matchmaker?" Veenia smirked and looked down at Ophelia.

Ophelia smiled too and nodded her head, finally comprehending what she meant.

"You just work on that little projects of your s and I will handle the preparations for everything else." Veenia patted her back and walked away.

Ophelia smiled as she turned back around, continuing her work.

Frost walked towards the infirmary, glass of water in hand. She noticed how none of the maids were anywhere near here so she couldn't ask one to get it for her.

Just as she was about to knock on the door, she heard the voices of Flare and Kenpachi talking.

Letting her hand fall to her side, she leaned her ear against the door, trying to listen better to the conversation.

*****Break*****

Flare stared at Kenpachi after he said that. She became uncomfortable with his presence.

Kenpachi noticed her twitching, deciding to ignore it to have a small talk with her about something. "So…I heard that you're afraid of men." He stated.

Flare looked down at the sheets and mumbled her reply. "Well yes….they are i-intimidating…"

Kenpachi frowned, crossing his arms. "Eh? Do I look intimidating to you?" he asked angrily.

Flare shivered as she heard his voice raise. "J-just a little…"

Kenpachi narrowed his eye and then sighed. "Well this is how I am. Can't change that fact, but you…You can change. Look I understand that you were traumatized from some event that was like years ago but here's the thing."

He walked over to her, getting in her personal space. " You need to get over it!" he growled. "I don't like weaklings, and you sure the hell shouldn't be. Ok so something happened and all of a sudden you can't trust men. The hell you can't…well some you can't but that's not the point! The point is that you need to get over this little episode you have, it's ruining your damn life!"

Kenpachi was right up in her face when he finished his little speech, making Flare come close to tears in fright.

Flare's lips quivered as she tried to hold in her tears. "W-what do you mean it's ruining my life?' she asked.

He grabbed her hand, making her scream in alarm, "This is what I mean. You scream when a man touches you? You depend on your sister or your friends to protect you which isn't making it any better. In addition, you're stopping Frost's life because she has to take care of you!"

She twisted her arm, trying to get it out of his grasp. "No it isn't your lying!" she screamed back at him. "You men are despicable, you lie, cheat, stake whatever you want by force and don't care about anyone else but yourself. I will never accept males! Not after what he did to me!" Flare had tears of frustration sliding down her cheeks as she breathed heavily.

Kenpachi lessened his grip on her arm, letting her snatch it away from him. He looked down at her with hard eyes. "Tell me then. Who did this to you that made you so weak and pathetic you can't even find the strength to not let him have control over your life?"

Flare evened out her breathing, gritting her teeth. "Like hell I would tell you."

"Fine. Then you can just suffer in your own pity." He turned away and started to go back to his bed.

"Wait." Flare said.

He stopped, not turning around."Hn"

"I..why do you care so much? Why do you want to know?"

He turned to face her, his eyes a blazed. "Because I don't like seeing someone I respect getting hurt."

Flare looked into his eye; he was telling the truth. "You care about my sister…don't you?"

Kenpachi gave a small nod. "She is one of the few that I respect, not many are like her."

Flare laughed a little and agreed. "She is truly an independent woman. I just…I know that I'm the reason why she is holding back. I saw how she acted with you and it made me realized... how much I missed my old sister." Flare had fresh new tears coming down her face. "I can't remember a time that she was happy after the event…she started to become cold and unfeeling to others. She was drawn into herself she rarely smiled or anything, even to me!"

Kenpachi understood the feeling. He knew what it was like, he was a killing machine that didn't care about anyone else…until he met Yachiru. She was the reason he wasn't like that anymore. Sure he still loved his battles but he wasn't blood thirsty any more.

Flare began to explain what happened. "It happened about 10 years ago, when Frost and I were younger and she wasn't running the kingdom. I was running an errand for my professor. I was just going to drop off some herbs to Veenia in town when these three guys came out of an alley way. I did not know who they were, but I could tell they were trouble. I tried to run away but they grabbed me before I could. They tied me up and brought to this abandoned warehouse."

Taking a deep breath, he continued on. "There were like six other guys and the king himself that ruled the land was in there waiting for me.. I was stripped of all my clothing, all of them looking at me like I was some type of meat. I screamed and tried calling for help but no one came. The first one was the king himself, he told how much he was watching me and he couldn't contain himself. Telling me how I was prettier than my sister but she was probably more feistier. I remember kicking in the leg after he said that, Making me angry. He was not happy and hit my face, also ordering the men to tie down my arms and legs. He forced his way into me, being the first to take my virginity…They each…raped me…It was horrible."

Tears continued to drop from her eyes as she cried in her hands. " I tried to tell them to stop but they didn't. Then afterwards, I was half-conscious when I overheard them talking about something. Next thing I knew my body was being dragged to some underground…laboratory. They did experiments on me, mostly painful and degrading." She clenched her hands tightly in the covers. "They tested drugs on, raped me and tortured me as they got their fill each day. They were trying to make me into the obedient sex slave. I was in that warehouse for months, fighting them off as best as I could. I was malnourished and underfeed. I could hardly stand on my own two feet. The king watched every single thing they did to me. I was alone, scared, and no one helped me. I decided to give up hope and my spirit was broken. I was scared, I felt betrayed, and dirty." Flare stopped talking, biting her lip as she tried to continue.

"The king started to feel pressured as my sister and her friends were catching up onto what he was doing. He decided that he wanted to get rid of me since he didn't want to lose his crown. So…they decided to eliminate me for good. I was to be poisoned quickly and then slaughtered, throwing my body into the nearest river. Luckily…Frost came in time…she was able to save me from that nightmare…she was furious when she found out that the king and the king' guards were the ones behind my disappearance. I don't really know what happened after that because I fell unconscious. When I woke up I was in the castle, but the nightmare didn't end for me."

"Veenia told me that I was 2 months pregnant with the king's child and that the baby's womb would collapse on itself because I was unhealthy and bulimic. When I found that out…I was devastated and cried for days. I didn't want to speak to anyone after that happened, even my sister couldn't get through to me and a couple of days later I ended up having an abortion. I recovered and healed under her care, finally able to get myself back in order but my mind wasn't ever going to heal from that. Now every time I see a man I have flashbacks to that time I was captured by…him" she shivered and curled into herself.

"I'm sorry if you see me as weak but I can't get that out of my mind. I'm afraid to get close to any man because I fear they could be the same."

Kenpachi sat in silence as he pondered over everything she said. He closed his eye and thought about what was told to him. Finally, after a couple of minutes he asked. "What happened to the king?"

Flare shrugged in indifference. "I don't know but I never heard from him again or his royal guardsmen. They just disappeared."

Nodding he stood up and studied Flare's appearance. "I think you should come to the celebration." He held up his hand before she could argue.

Flare looked up at him and then nodded a second later."Alright"

Frost walked in with an angry expression. "What the hell?" she yelled.

Flare looked away, not facing her sister.

Frost glared over at her and then at Kenpachi. "Why the hell did you tell him about what happened 10 years ago but didn't tell me shit! I'm your damn sister Flare." She screamed in frustration. "You go ahead and tell this…this damn MAN what the hell happened to you but you can't tell me."

Flare argued. " I didn't want you to know. I knew that if you knew you would blame yourself!"

"Too late… I thought you trusted me." She said.

Kenpachi was about to say something but Frost whirled around and shot him a menacing glare that made him froze. "Don't say a fucking word to me you son of a bitch!" she stomped out and slammed the door after her exit.

'Frost, Wait!" Flare sprinted after her sister.

****Break****

So now, you know what happened and Frost is mad as hell.

Really long chapter this time and stay tuned for more. So many secret things.
