Eager for Crystals for the Memories

Kenpachi and Kenshi was seen in their rooms together after the "relaxing" bath with the girls having successfully fix up their messes, and the boys are about to head out again.

"So, we're going down there again?" Kenpachi asked.

"Yep!" Kenshi answered without a second thought.

"I know I'm not smart with rocks and stuff, but I think doing too much digging will end up crashing down on us, literally." Kenpachi stated.

"Don't worry, I promise the digging won't destroy the structure. Now, let's get ready." Kenshi excited.

Knowing Kenshi can be so naïve and weird for these sorts of things, but Kenpachi doesn't mind that as he wants his brother to be happy and hopefully that nothing bad won't happen, otherwise they'll be getting a big scolding from Chiaia.

"I bet you were really excited about seeing Yukine back at the bath." Kenpachi teased, causing Kenshi to blush like crazy.

"I-I don't know what you're talking about, and Yukine wasn't the only girl I was looking at!" Kenshi blurted out accidentally, realizing this causes him to blush even harder.

"Looks like you're starting to be more of a man than I thought, I wonder how our big brother and other male relatives would think." Kenpachi laughed.

(With Chiaia, Lashara, and Mahya)

"So, the SWAN is covered with holes?" Lashara surprised to hear that there have been holes showing up in the SWAN lately.

"What about all the Koros who live around here, maybe they're the ones responsible?" Lashara guessed.

"No, the holes are far too big for that." Mahya informed.

"Are they occurring with more frequency?" Lashara wanted to understand this small situation.

"All we can say for sure is that there were no indications of any traps. As far as we know, the appearance of these holes is nothing but random coincidence, though it's hard to imagine why this would happen." Mahya concerned for the safety of the SWAN.

"Oh, who knows. Perhaps someone is searching for something." Lashara said.

Mentioning the theory that someone is searching for something within the SWAN by digging some holes around the courtyard of the ship, that's when Chiaia started to remember one moment early back at the bath with the girls and the Peace-Chaos Brothers. Something that got her attention with Kenshi back then.

(Flashback)

Kenpachi and Kenshi are together at one side of the warm bath while the girls are having their own chat sessions, Chiaia looks over to the brothers as they are a little cute looking together as brothers are though she noticed something on Kenshi's right hand.

"(Are those bruises?)" Chiaia thought as she walked over the Kenshi and grabbed his hand, seeing the bruises.

"You've got scrapes and bruises all over your hands. What gives, how in the world did that happen to you?" Chiaia asked concern.

"Oh, I didn't even know we had these." Kenpachi surprised showing little of those scrapes and bruises on his hands too.

"Seriously, what happened?" Chiaia asked growing a bit more concern now.

"Don't worry, it's probably from just all the work we've done with cleaning up the rubble and all. We're okay, promise." Kenshi assured there is nothing wrong.

"Oh my… You're hurt." Yukine goes over the Kenshi to see if there is anything she can do, besides unintentionally giving him a view of her cleavage.

"…I'll be alright." Kenshi said blushing a little.

"What exactly were you looking at pervert?" Chiaia stomped her foot on Kenshi's head, forcing him under the water and Kenpachi smirks.

"Hey, mind giving me a show too?" Kenpachi taunted, causing the red hair to blush like crazy and walks away.

(Flashback End)

That's when Chiaia pieces everything together and figuring out the mystery of those holes, and who made them.

"(Those two, it's the only possible answer.)" Chiaia thought.

"It might be best to consult with the Holy Land's security." Mahya suggested.

"Hey, wait just a second." Chiaia yelled a little.

"What's wrong, you have an objection to bringing this matter to the authorities?" Lashara asked, wondering what has gotten into her red hair guard now.

"We don't need security to trap two measly Koros." Chiaia said with a grin.

"And that would mean…?" Lashars confused of this as the old maid woman as well, but they knew to trust her judgement and smart to know she'll let them know soon.

(Later, SWAN)

The hour has fallen to where everyone in the Holy Land has fallen asleep and their minds would be in the dream land, all except for a few souls still awake and those are Chiaia and Empress Lashara as they are hiding at the top of the tower of the castle looking carefully at the courtyard.

"You're quite the cautious one, aren't you?" Lashara commented.

"We need to be extra careful, so they don't spot us, otherwise we won't be able to catch him in the act." Chaia whispered.

A few seconds later, Chiaia and Lashara spotted two figures running through the green grass of the courtyard heading towards a bush.

"Those two, I can't believe this—They even used camouflage." Chiaia angered softly as she sees them climbing into a hole and use the bush to hide the hole as well.

"Those morons!" Chiaia dropped her binoculars, proving her theory has been right.

"I guess it was two Koros, after all." Lashara giggled, finding this amusing.

A few minutes later, Kenpachi and Kenshi came back out of the hole looking dirty from being underground and the latter look down at his hand holding a brown crystal with a wide smile.

"Awesome!" Kenshi said.

"I really don't get why you consider those shiny rocks awesome." Kenpachi puzzled of this.

"Then maybe you can tell us why." Chiaia said.

This causes the boys to widen their eyes in shock of who's voice they just heard, and they look up seeing an angry Chaiai glaring down at them, and their Empress Lashara is smiling at the scene.

"Well, didn't see that coming." Kenpachi commented.

(Lashara's Dorm House)

After catching the brothers red-handed for making those holes and taking a stone as well, the four went back to the dorm house for the two girls to finally find out what and why were they doing this in the first place.

"Someone's a big fan of stones, aren't they?" Lashara surprised of this stone is what the boys were getting.

"It's not a stone, it's a crystal." Kenshi corrected.

"Shiny rocks like these are all the same to me." Kenpachi shrugged as he doesn't care.

"That isn't the point, you imbeciles." Chiaia yelled at them a little.

"Tell us right now, why you're filling the SWAN with holes? If we hadn't intervened, you could've compromised its external strength." Chiaia pointed out.

"That's what I said to him earlier before going to the SWAN." Kenpachi mentioned.

"And I kept telling him it wouldn't happen because I made sure that every hole, we made was blocked to keep the SWAN safe." Kenshi reassured that nothing bad is gonna happen to the SWAN.

"Just keep your mouth shut, captain Koro and Lieutenant Scar!" Chiaia glared at the brothers.

"You talking to me or Scar?" Kenpachi confused as Scar came out, also looking confuse at the girl.

Lashara picked up the crystal looking at it closely and finding the shape and color to be pretty like some jewelries for accessories.

"It's so pretty, this is the first time we've seen a raw gemstone." Lashara complimented this crystal.

"You probably were sitting on a moneymaking idea without even realizing it until now." Kenpachi joked causing the Empress to laugh.

"Perhaps you're right." Lashara agreed.

"Empress, please take this seriously!" Chiaia stated as they still have to punish the boys.

"Just be honest, there must be some reason you're both so obsessed with them. Why don't you tell us what this is about?" Lashara asked.

"Well, I don't really see anything special nor am I interested in those stones at all. Kenshi is the one with the rock obsession." Kenpachi stated.

"Hey, you're making it sound like I'm a crazy cat lady!" Kenshi gasped a little.

"And besides, don't these crystals remind you of how our big sister's spaceship was made of crystals that was awesome?" Kenshi asked, remembering those times.

"Of course, I remember, and the ride was cool too, but I don't make a big fuss over it like a crazy fangirl." Kenpachi reminded of how his personality is like sometime.

"But you still love riding in that space with big sister Ryoko." Kenshi smiled which Kenpachi couldn't deny it.

"Yeah, it was cool and seeing it lift off out of the pound was like one of those sci-fi movies." Kenpachi smiled.

"Especially with how it sparkles with the light of the sunset every time." Kenshi added, smiling of the fond memories.

"You're right, tis a beautiful thing at which to look." Lashara agreed looking at the crystal, but she realizes something shocking.

"Wait a second. Did you two say your big sister's spaceship?" Lashara asked.

"Well, she's actually one of our sister-in-laws because she's married to our big brother along with some other girls. A harem marriage, you cold say." Kenpachi explained that part a little.

"Okay, and you two are saying that one of your slibing-in-laws actually owns a craft that can fly in space?" Lashara asked.

"Yeah, that's right." Kenshi answered, a little confuse of the reaction.

"Empress Lashara, what is it?" Chiaia asked, becoming curious of what her Empress is thinking about all this new info of the Peace-Chaos Brothers.

Lashara took a moment thinking about what she just learned about Kenshi and Kenpachi's family from that other world they came from, one of them having an actual ship that can fly into space like something from a made-up story.

Then a question pops into her head and ask the brothers this question to know for sure.

"Tell us, Kenshi and Kenpachi, is it really normal for other beings where you come from to have their own personal spaceships?" Lashara asked.

"No, don't be ridiculous, of course it's not normal. Besides, our ships are just over-sizes rockets." Kenshi answered.

"Yeah, it's not like they're a big deal or anything." Kenpachi added.

That's when the hardness of realization struck the brothers in the mind as they gasp.

"Why in the world does our family have a spaceship to begin with?" The Peace-Chaos brothers puzzled of this.

"What exactly are you getting at?" Chiaia confused of the topic.

"According to reports from those who have explored the galaxy, even the most sophisticated civilizations with the most advanced sciences can barely send their own to nearby moons, much less travel freely through space." Lashara explained.

"So, you're saying…" Kenpachi paused, thinking a little more about this.

"Yes, ships like that simply do not exist." Lashara nodded.

"Hold on, I still don't get it. Are you saying these two must've come from the future?" Chiaia asked, still not getting of what Lashara is saying.

"That depends if that really happened." Kenpachi said.

"Sometimes children's memories can mix up dreams with reality." Lashara stated.

"Are you two absolutely positive this story you told us happened?" Lashara asked, wanting to make sure.

"Yeah, we're sure of it, I even remember us being inside of it a couple of times too." Kenshi answered honestly though still shocked.

"And that never struck you two as curious or odd until just a moment ago? What about everyone else; how did they react to it?" Lashara asked.

"If you're asking about those outside of the family like friends from school and whatever, I don't think we told anyone about it." Kenpachi tried to remember if that's right.

"I'm pretty sure we didn't tell anybody about it. Our big sis Washu made us promise we'd always keep it a secret." Kenshi mentioned.

"Hold on, how exactly did we agree to keep our family's alien ships a secret?" Kenpachi wondered about that.

Then both brothers gasp upon now seeing the full picture as they start to remember a coin tied in a string waving left and right in front of them, and it was being waved by one woman they know causing them to feel anger raising inside of them.

"That… little… bitch!" Kenpachi growled and slammed his fist on the floor that made cracks around it.

"That mad scientist… Damn her!" Kenshi cursed at that woman Washu for brainwashing them like they were easy puppets to control.

"I never really like how she tried to make us into her lab rats for experiment claiming it's all in the name of "science" and other bullshit lies." Kenpachi said.

"Is that how she kept it a secret from everyone outside of your family, by hypnotizing you?" Chiaia asked, feeling a little pity for the brothers.

"That could also explain why you two succumbed so easily to Mexiah's hypnosis." Lashara realized this as well.

"Please, don't remind me of that." Kenpachi groaned.

"At any rate, it seems you two come from a very complex family as well." Lashara chuckled.

"That's all besides the point!" Chiaia grabbed the brothers forcing them up on their feet.

"And let's not forget about the crystals!" Chiaia wanted to get back on that topic and wants to know how to punish these boys for endangering the SWAN.

Then Chiaia saw Kenshi wearing gold necklace with a crystal embedded in the meddle.

"You even had the nerve to make yourself a pendant!" Chiaia shocked as she was about to grab it, but Kenpachi stops her.

"Hold it, I know you're mad that we took some crystals from the SWAN, but that crystal was a gift from big sister Ryoko that was part of her ship." Kenpachi explained.

"Oh, then I guess that's fine as long as that didn't come from the SWAN." Chiaia relieved to hear that.

"Kenpachi also has a necklace like this." Kenshi mentioned.

Chiaia was shocked of hearing this and Kenpachi decided to show it as he reaches into his pocket and show his necklace, but she notices the gold coil is broken.

"Why is your necklace broken like that?" Chiaia asked.

"Because I snapped it off." Kenpachi answered shocking her.

"He was thankful for the gift, but he didn't like how he has to wear it around his neck and broke it off without letting our big sister help him." Kenshi explained.

"Did you even try asking them to fix it?" Chiaia asked.

"Nah, I decided to let it be like this. Not like it's a big deal or anything." Kenpachi shrugged.

"You shouldn't say things like that if it wasn't a special gift. How about I fix it and make it so you won't have to wear it around your neck." Chiaia offered.

"You sure about that? You don't seem like the type of person to go for these kinds of things." Kenpachi guessed.

"Are you trying to say something?" Chiaia asked angry.

Meanwhile, Lashara has done some thinking about these two boys.

"(If the story they just told us is true, then perhaps they weren't summoned here after all. Could they actually be from the future?)" Lashara thought wondered.

The conversation ended with everyone going back to their rooms as Kenpachi decided to let Chiaia take his necklace to get the coil fix somehow.

"Are you sure it was okay to let her have your necklace? Chiaia is clumsy in certain things." Kenshi asked.

"It's fine, she seems like she really wants to fix that necklace since we mentioned it was a gift from Ryoko." Kenpachi said as he lay on his bed.

"Besides, I'm more focused on what kind of punishment I'm going to give that stupid hag for brainwashing us." Kenpachi angered.

(With Washu)

Washu in typing away on her hologram computers looking at few of the experiments she has been working on for a while, but then suddenly felt her spine shivers in fear and she is becoming scared as she looks around.

"Damn it, even when Kenpachi is in another world right now… He still scares the fucking life out of me!" Washu gulped, feeling the sweats are coming in.

KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!

Lashara and Chiaia have now learned about Kenshi and Kenpachi's past along with finding out their family has spaceships, and them realizing they were hypnotized before by Washu. Hope you like how I made Washu being scared of Kenpachi, making him what stops her from doing experiments too much.
