Chapter Two: Under the Night Sky
Kenpachoi Zaraki's Point of View
By: Sassy Little Owl 808

Sighs.

I swear, ever since a little blue-haired vixen joined the Eleventh, things around here have gotten interesting. The boys who worked under her didn't dare step out of line, nor did they question her orders. I am rather impressed because, in six months of joining the Eleventh, the little blue-haired vixen has not only proved she can run with the big boys, but she cares deeply for her brother's in arms so much she'll risk her life to make sure they're safe. I have heard from the boys who work under her, Takashi, Yumichika, and Ikkaku, that she always refuses treatment until she knows they are taken care of first.

I shuffle some paperwork.

The little blue-haired vixen has charmed my fellow taichos as well as the fukutaichos. Hisagi Shūhei fukutaicho had jokingly told her once in front of Yumichika,

"Hey Tempy, you know I swing both ways and I wouldn't mind bedding you."

This earned him a hard smack upside his head and a cold glare from the little blue-haired vixen, and classic Yumichika got jealous and he took it out on Tempest for weeks.

Tsuyoi materialized enraged and pissed as fuck I felt sorry for Yumichika and Hisagi. Tsuyoi and Kuronue growl at Yumichika ferociously because the little blue-haired vixen has been crying uncontrollably. Tsuyoi even threatened both Yumichika and Shūhei that if they don't make Tempest stop crying soon, he'll make them cry as much as Tempest has been crying. Kuronue only growls more ferociously at them.

Damn.

I remember that Ikkaku brought out a very sad and, yes, crying Tempest from her barracks once Izuru had coaxed her into letting Ikkaku carry her. It just tore at my heart to see my fierce little blue-haired vixen in this state over a misunderstanding. Everyone was glaring at Yumichika when he returned from his mission, especially when Tempest hid her face in Ikkaku's chest, and a sad, pathetic voice,

"Big brother doesn't like me anymore, Ikkaku, because of the stupid thing Hisagi said."

This made everyone glare more at Yumichika. Yumichika came over to his best friend, and he scooped the little blue-haired vixen up in his arms and kissed her temple. I watch as Yumichika hugs her tightly and says softly,

"Big brother still likes you, and yes, I got jealous about what Hisagi said. I am sorry, my Fox Princess."

I watch as those mischievous emerald-green eyes light up as I could see the wheels in her head turning as she shook her head no, and in a somber voice,

"Big brother is only saying he's sorry because everyone is glaring at him and he is scared of my two nine-tails, but Hisagi has to apologize too, and only then will I forgive you."

I watched as she looked over at me with her arms reaching for me, and I took her from Yumichika while Izuru gave her a reproachful look as Tempest hid her face in my left shoulder. I did see the wicked smirk and the shocked look on Yumichika's face. I had to bite the inside of my cheek to keep myself from roaring with laughter. Oh, she's good at manipulation, and the fact that she has Yumichika wrapped around her little finger doesn't help any either.

Of course, the minute Yumichika is out of hearing, Izuru gives her a good scolding, while I roar with the laugh I had been holding in. And Izuru scolded me for finding it funny.

An hour later, the little blue-haired vixen is sitting on my lap in my office while I'm doing my paperwork, when a knock comes with a soft "Taicho, permission to come in."

A rumble of "It's open, "

In came Yumichika and Hisagi Shūhei. I pointed at the floor pillows while the little blue-haired vixen sitting on my lap glared at Shūhei coldly, but she smiled at Yumichika fondly. I could see the wheels in her head turning as her emerald green eyes fell on Shūhei. I could see Shūhei squirm in uncertainty because both Kuronue and Tsuyoi were sleeping on the couch; well, Kuronue was sleeping, while Tsuyoi was watching us sharply, ready to pounce if the fool made Tempy cry.

Shūhei stood up and scooped the glaring blue-haired vixen into his arms and started randomly kissing her face while apologizing for coming between her and her big brother. I watched as the grown man groveled for forgiveness from the little blue-haired vixen. I had to keep myself from laughing while Yumichika laughed openly at how comical they looked.

Ikkaku walks in and sighs.

" Fox Princess, just forgive him already, and Shūhei, you know the brat is just manipulating you."

Shūhei puts her down and smiles knowingly. I watched as she ran over to Yumichika and launched herself at him as she hugged and kissed his cheek. I watched as she opened the sliding door and whistled, and the brother nine-tails followed her out.

I swear she's going to drive me fucking crazy.

Four years have passed, I have watched Tempest bloom into a strong warrior, and she has reached Bankai as I thought she would. The more I watched her, the more I found her to be an interesting person. I have noticed I would glare at anyone who would so much as look at the little blue-haired vixen cross-eyed, or I would either growl or take hold of her and lead her away from anyone with intimate intentions.

Damn.

I indeed had fallen in love with the little blue-haired vixen, and I had thought about asking the blue-haired vixen out on a few dates and see where it goes from there. I'm invited to the bar by Ikkaku and the boys. I heard that Tempest had lost a bet and had to go on a date with the resident fox Ichimaru Gin, taicho of The Third.

I'm drinking my sake slowly as I saw Gin bring Tempest back to the bar where we are. I watched as Gin kissed her hand and cheek and bid her goodnight. I glared coldly at my fellow taicho, who wasn't missed by my fellow taicho, who whispered something in her ear and walked away, smiling at me.

The little blue-haired vixen just looked at me thoughtfully as she sat down beside Renji, still watching me until she yawned and stood up, walked past me with a questioning look and a nod.

I paid for my drinks, and I followed the little blue-haired vixen almost to the Eleventh's gate when she turned toward me with a knowing smile.

"So, when were you going to tell me you had fallen for me, and what exactly were you going to do about it?"

I looked at her as I blushed like a tomato.

"So my suspicion was right. You weren't just overprotective of me whenever you'd growl at any male who came near me, except my male friends."

I rumbled at the little smart-ass good-humouredly while the blue-haired vixen takes a step back with uncertainty.

Well, if you must know, my beautiful Blueberry, I'm going to ask you out on a few dates and see where it goes from there," I murmured in her ear as I wrapped my arms around her slender waist.

Tempest smiles as she looks up at me with a shy smile. I leaned over and kissed her softly yet breathlessly.

"I think you have made up your mind without even telling me," she asked, smiling.

"No, I'm going to take you out on a few dates and leave the choice up to you as I told ya I would. I don't want you to feel pressured by me." I rumbled softly.

I could see the wheels in her head turning, and she smiled at me. Then she did something out of character and blushed softly under the soft moonlight.

So, two months of dating, I was getting impatient with Tempest. I understand that she has never been in a relationship or been in a dating situation, but come on.

One night, she invited me over for dinner. I didn't know she could cook, which explains why she hardly eats at the mess hall and how clean her living quarters are. I just watched as my little hostess made me feel welcomed with a feast fit for a king, and she had a blush on her cheeks whenever I looked at her. I love this shy version of Tempest as much as I love the fierce Tempest I know so well.

As the night wore on, I watched as Tempy let me lay my head on her lap, or how I let her play with my hair as we watched random black and white movies together on her couch.

Sighs.

It was nearing midnight when she leaned down, kissed me shyly at first, then she got bold when I moaned and slipped her hands into my kimono. She looks at me and kisses me while pinching my nipple, making me moan softly.

"Vixen, does this mean you'll be mine?" I moan as I feel her teeth clamp on my nipple.

"Pachi, shut up and let me get to know you on a more intimate level, and we both know you just answered your question." Tempest scolded me.

I moaned as she slipped her hand into my pants, and she licked my other nipple with a sexy, naughty smirk.

"My sexy Pachi."

Well, things got heated as my vixen got to know me better, which left us both breathless and happy. The morning saw us sleeping in each other's arms.

Of course, no one dared say anything about my beautiful, sexy sixth seat in my division when it became known. Tsuyoi roared at anyone who tried.

The End of this story.
