"Karma"

一人分の陽だまりに　僕らは居る

"I am here, I can definitely feel you

We are here in the same sunny spot..."

"Ugh, you sure Byakuya doesn't mind us using his pool?" Ichigo turns to Rukia pulling off her black shinigami robes revealing a modest but tight fitting light blue one piece swimming suit.

"What Nii-sama doesn't know won't kill him." Rukia drops her robe giving Ichigo a thumbs up. "You lucky bitch!" Her eyes bulge reaching out to grab Ichigo's round orange size breasts. "You grew again!"

"Get off me you boob obsessed midget." Ichigo pushes her hands away rolling her eyes. "It's not like I wanted to!" She holds her hands out in front of her chest. "Stupid things! They just won't stop growing!"

"You end up with wonder-melons like Orihime I might kill myself." Rukia lowers her head with a defeated look on her face. "Why won't mine grow! I eat the same stuff as you do!"

"Is that why you followed me around all last summer while I was helping my dad at the clinic?" Ichigo's amber eyes stare at the water with her brows curled together.

"Not really..." Rukia gives Ichigo a worried glance stepping down into the shallow section of the pool. "It's all in your head Ichigo."

"I know." Ichigo dips a toe in the warm water fighting the urge to throw up. "It seems so real... The creaking of a ship... a warm kind woman, someone else... someone important." She runs a tan hand through her wild unkempt shoulder length orange locks securing the one and only hair accessory she liked. "That boy, I still can't see his face!" She kicks frustrated at the water with her foot gathering her hair through the pony tail holder. Turning the strap so the tiny azure butterfly sparkles in the sunlight.

"How long you been having that nightmare?"

"Almost every night since I was fifteen." Ichigo takes a few steps into the water letting it rise to her narrow thighs. "It only stops when I'm in Soul Society." She touches her chest gingerly tilting her eyes up to the bright skyline.

"Three years is a long time to have the same dream over and over." Rukia pads her feet across the bottom on the pool to take Ichigo's hand. "Ichigo... have thought about-"

"I'm not crazy Rukia!" She flashes Rukia an indignant expression.

"Then swim." She kicks a wave of water large enough to knock Ichigo over.

"Oi!" Lifting a fist starting to stomp from the pool dripping wet and mad as a honey bee.

"Something wrong?" Rukia mocks Ichigo holding her hand to her face. "Come on dive in the water. Show me how tough you are, Ichi-chan~!"

"Shut-up! You underdeveloped mutant!"

"Oooh, I must've hit a sore spot... you are playing the mine's bigger than yours card." Rukia gets a cocky look on her face grinning a wide narrow smile.

"I'm sorry..." Ichigo leaves the pool to sit on the side and pout with her knees drawn up to her chest. "I just can't float. I keep seeing myself sinking into a pitch blackness with that boy. I tried to save him! I tried cut the ropes that were dragging him down with me. His hand won't let me go... his grip is unshakable. " She makes a fist with her right hand staring at her wrist. "I can still feel the warm fingers... I can still feel them."

"Ichigo." Rukia gets out of the water to wrap a towel around Ichigo when a servant calls for her.

"Rukia-sama, there is a messenger at the North Gate for you."

"Thank you." Rukia throws the towel on top of Ichigo's head and runs off. "I'll be right back!"

"It's just a pool! It's not even connected to the fucking ocean for fucks sake!" She screams at the top of her lungs at the water. Ichigo moves to the edge of the pool stomps her foot slipping on the water left behind by Rukia. She falls into the water striking her head on the side blacking out instantly.

The moment Ichigo Kurosaki touched down in Soul Society a sleeping man with long black hair woke with a devilish grin plastered on his scarred face. "You ain't getting away this time."

"Ken-chan, It's been three years since we have been able to catch her. " Yachiru climbs up to her designated perch and they dash out of the office. "Let's go say hi to Icchi!"

"I'm just itchin' with excitement. I haven't been able to have a decent fight since the Winter War." Kenpachi turns the corner and frowns. The problem of finding her had been fixed last year. He had bribed that Kurotsuchi freak to make a tracker for her. Then tricked that Kuchiki woman into giving it to Ichigo last summer hidden in a little blue hairpin. He can find her anytime for a nice violent battle. Kenpachi licks his lips in anticipation. He really, really needed to vent some energy and blood. Keeping it all in is making him snappy at the guys. Yumichika called him a word he actually had to look up in a dictionary. "Yachiru..."

"That way!" She points west toward the third division.

"Do I act like a troglodyte?" He taps his eye patch and waits for the signal of her reiatsu to appear in the form of a small blue butterfly to follow. He feels his reiatsu trickle down his spine. The insect appears flapping it's wings quickly heading east. Dashing after it he hears Yachiru making her classic "I'm thinking" sound.

"Frog?" Yachiru puts her finger to her lip and begins to think. "Errrrrr. Bzzzzzzzz. Yes! Ken-chan is a frog!"

"Tch... I don't give a damn." He turns the corner and frowns. "This is a problem."

"Ooooh, it's Bya-kushi's house!" Yachiru hops up to the high wall giving Ken-chan a salute. "Follow me! He just loves it when I drop by for a snack!"

"You go play with him long enough for me to throw Ichigo through this wall." Kenpachi climbs the wall trailing after his daughter. "Kuchiki won't be able to bitch if she is off his property."

"Hai~!" She turns giving him a big smile. "Do your best Ken-chan!"

"Always do." He pushes her off the wall with a nudge of his hand. "Get moving squirt."

"Teehee!"

He leaps from the wall as the pale blue butterfly turns a corner. Following it closely he ignores the crashing sounds and cries of the servants. "Hehe." He stops suddenly as the butterfly floats over a pool making a loop above the still water. His dark eyes flick to the blood trail on the edge and he steps closer peering down through the crystalline surface. "Oh shit who is that?" He dives in the water tugging on the sinking body. Wrapping his hand around her wrist he pulls her up to the surface and sees her tan face. "Ichigo?"

Putting a hand to her back he jumps from the pool and holds an ear to her mouth. "She ain't breathin'." With the blood pouring from her head covering most of her face. Kenpachi's mind started churning. "So um... C.P.R. Then take her to the relief station." Nodding his head he sets her on her back flicking his eyes down the light blue bathing suit. "Hmm, she kinda looks different." He lifts an eyebrow at the protruding nipples and the orange size round breasts pressing against the thin fabric. "Don't remember those."

Kenpachi moves his mouth over hers when a familiar voice echoes behind him.

"What are you doing here?"

"Don't get yer scarf in a knot I found Ichigo drowning in the pool." Kenpachi doesn't turn to look at Byakuya instead he holds his mouth against Ichigo's blowing air into her mouth. He presses against her abdomen a few times grunting as her ribs crack.

"You have made her injuries worse." Byakuya steps in front of him holding a defeated Yachiru out by the end of a broom stick. "Here take this."

"I'm sorry Ken-chan. He got me... I fall for those cherry tarts every time."

Kenpachi didn't hear Yachiru's voice. He was focused on Byakuya in front of him lifting Ichigo into his arms. It felt strange to him. Like something was being taken from him that belongs to him.

"You really have no self-control. Haven't you even tried to be gentle with a woman?" Byakuya turns Ichigo's face with his hand toward Kenpachi giving him a glimpse of her blue lips. "You will need to release her so I can flash step to the relief station."

"No..." He surprises himself when the words come out. He couldn't understand it but suddenly the thought of letting her go bothers him. He saw it then... just a flash of dark water, glinting of a knife and his hand wrapping around a small wrist. "I'm Pachi... I don't let go of anything I don't want to. If you fall I fall that's all there is too it."

"Did you hear me?"

"I'm not deaf." Kenpachi takes her from Byakuya heading for the exit. "Yachiru run ahead and tell Unohana I am coming with Ichigo."

"Ken-chan..." Yachiru mumbles before running off leaving a trail of dust in her wake.

"You will only delay her treatment with your inability to flash step."

"Fuck off Kuchiki." Kenpachi begins to run fast as he can. The jarring of her body next to his forces the water from her lungs. He hears her taking in a deep raspy breath and sucks in his own. "She is tough. She will be fine. She is stronger than most of these pussies."

He arrived at the emergency entrance and ignored the yapping for him to set her on a stretcher. Marching directly into Unohana's office he knocks everything off her desk and sets Ichigo's body down. "I found her drowning and I think she has some cracked ribs." He folds his hands in front of his chest to watch Ichigo being treated.

Unohana immediately calls for Isane and they begin to cut the bathing suit off of Ichigo. He stands there watching the tops of her breasts appear as the material is cut away. It hadn't occurred to him that Ichigo was a woman and required special treatment. Hell Yachiru is a girl but never once has he had the need to treat her... overly gentle. Kenpachi just didn't see a reason to handle women any different than men. Until now.... He pointed an eye at the tan breasts slowly popping out from under a soaked swimsuit and felt his mouth water.

"Out!" Unohana practically shoves him out the door slamming it shut in his face.

This is a new problem for Kenpachi. One he hasn't any experience with. How can he justify wanting to see Ichigo's blood on his sword and look at her breasts? The SAME person! "Hmm."

"You look puzzled Captain Zaraki."

"Eh?" He looks up to find Captain Kyoraku tipping his hat toward him. "Maybe."

"Anything I can help you with?"

"Nah, I'm good." He sees the door open next to him. "Oi! How is she?"

"Captain Zaraki Ichigo-san has four broken ribs and a punctured lung. We are working hard to restore her reiatsu."

"Tch, she should just wake up and bankai. She can heal her own body that way." Kenpachi spits not even trying to hide his annoyance.

"Yes Captain you are right but, Captain Unohana is worried over her head wound." Isane looks down at the ground. "Ichigo-san could go into a coma and sleep for a very long time if we aren't careful."

"Then ya better be careful then!" He bellows after Isane as she vanishes back inside the office.

"Ichigo-chan got hurt?" Shunsui pulls up a chair next to Kenpachi and pulls out a thin book to read. "You fighting it out to death again?"

"No."

"Then what's the-"

"She fell... I was trying to help her and I ended up making it worse." He says staring at his open hand with a frown. "I'm a troglodyte."

"Ooh, that's a very cruel thing to say about yourself." Shunsui lifts a curious glance at Kenpachi noticing his discomfort decides to brave a question to the brutish captain. "Tell me Zaraki... do you care about Ichigo-chan?"

"Tch, care? What do I wanna go do something like that for?"

"Oh, so you don't know about it then?"

"About what?"

"The most challenging battlefield ever." Shunsui waves a copy of 'The Art of War' in front of Kenpachi.

"Where is this place?" He snatches the book to look at the pictures. "Hueco Mundo? Cuz they were all a bunch of weaklings."

"Nope, It's the battlefield of love."

"Love?" He shuts the book tossing it back to Kyoraku. "Not interested pathetic touchy-freely bullshit."

"That's too bad. It's in The Art of War. It's considered the greatest of all battles."

"The old fart made me read The Art of War. There ain't no such thing as the battlefield of love." Kenpachi starts to walk away when Kyoraku lifts his hat.

"Are you sure?" He tries to hold back the chuckle in his throat to quote Sun Tzu. " Therefore one hundred victories in one hundred battles is not the most skillful. Seizing the enemy without fighting is the most skillful."

"Yeah what's that got to do with fighting Ichigo?"

"Only the strongest of men can conquer a woman."

"Conquering... a woman?"Kenpachi stops in his tracks with the strangest thought. "Conquering Ichigo sounds like winning... I like to win. I wouldn't mind seeing her breasts again... is that apart of winning?!"

"Interested in waging the toughest battle of your life Kenpachi?"

"Hn."

Ichigo woke with a splitting headache and opened her eyes to Yachiru's face.

"Icchi! Morning!"

"Good Morning Yachiru." She tries to sit up only to feel a sharp pain in her head. "Did I fight Kenpachi again and this time he hit me hard enough to give me amnesia?"

"Nope! Ken-chan only wants pillow fights from Icchi now!" Yachiru vanishes out the door with a giggle. "Icchi is awake!!!!!!"

"Good thing I stopped trying to figure her out years ago." Ichigo carefully edges herself out of the bed taking a couple of quick steps toward the bathroom. Her feet give out and she starts to tumble to the floor when someone catches her. "Thanks."

"You've been asleep for a month. Gotta have some therapy for your legs." Kenpachi lifts her up walking toward the bathroom. "I promised Kyoraku hands off until she is better. Then it's war."

"A month? Therapy? Kenpachi?" Ichigo's mind swirls in three different directions. "What the- why- how... and Kenpachi?" Ichigo tries to scramble out of his arms only to wince in pain as she is set down inside the bathroom. "He isn't planning on standing there and watching me... right?"

"Yachiru get in here."

"I'm already here!" Yachiru peeks around the door with a huge grin.

"Help Ichigo with a bathing and stuff. I'll have Yumichika bring something to eat right away."

"Hai~!"

Kenpachi hurries out of the room swiping a hand down his face. He turns the corner and hits the wall knocking it down.

"Captain!" Yumichika appears with a cleaning cloth in his hand and a pissy expression on his face. "Ugly!"

"I didn't set her down gently enough."

"Oh... But Captain," Yumichika manages a small reassuring smile. "You didn't break anything and I think that shows you are winning already!"

"Hehe, I'm ahead and the battle has just started. Excellent!" He lifts his fist up with a grin. "I'm gonna conquer the woman!"

"Yes! Go captain!" Yumichika watches Zaraki leave his office and the devastation he left in his wake. "Let's just hope he doesn't screw like he fights. Poor Ichigo-san... she might have a permanent limp." He shuts his eyes shivering at the thought. "She doesn't even see it coming..."

Kenpachi kept his distance from Ichigo the rest of the day. His mind kept recalling Byakuya's words over and over.

"You really have no self-control. Haven't you even tried to be gentle with a woman?"

He has a plan though and if he sticks to it she won't be able to put up a fight. He wants to win this battle more than any he has ever fought in his life. The victory's reward is Ichigo and for some reason over the past few weeks of watching over her as she sleeps, he feels connected to her. Every night since she came he has had that dream about the orange haired kid. He just knew in his gut it was Ichigo. It felt like her... presence. Like something inside his soul needs her.

"Hey Ken-chan want an ice cream?" Yachiru pops down in front of his face with a warm smile.

"Oi, where's Ichigo?"

"She is with Baldy. He and Yumi are helping her get into the hot tub."

"What?! Why is she getting in there?" Kenpachi stomps around the corner with Yachiru grabbing on to his haori. He frowns as a group of his men are pressed up against the sauna doors whispering. "What's going on guys?"

"There is a hot chick in there with Ikkaku and Yumichika."

"Is that right?" He begins grabbing men and throwing them into a large pile behind him. "You all think Ichigo is a hot chick right?" He grins a wide toothy smile when they all nod. "Hands off! She is mine to conquer." His smile drops into a serious frown. "Touch her and I'll let Yachiru shikai." He watches the men's faces grow pale and turns around to walk into the hot tub room.

"Captain Unohana, says you need to tread water for twenty minutes a day." Ikkaku says lifting Ichigo over to the side of the hot spring.

"I-I thought this was a hot tub?" Ichigo panics in Ikkaku's arm's. "This is a deep hot spring!"

"Just get in the water." He replies dropping her in the deep end.

"Ikkaku I'm, not sure but it looks to me like Ichigo-san is sinking to the bottom." Yumichika says looking over the edge of the water.

"No shit?"

Her muscles were screaming as she thrashed for life. The light above her was slowly being cloaked by the darkness. She knew she was sinking fast and that she couldn't rise. Her reiatsu just wouldn't spark no matter how much she willed her body to flash step nothing was happening. The nightmare resurfaces in her mind. The black ocean undercurrent dragging her down. The hopeless fear wrapping- She feels a hand around her wrist and looks up to see Kenpachi staring at her. His face normally menacing or indifferent filled with anxiety.

She tries to wiggle out of his grasp only to feel him pull her against his chest. The dream and reality become one just for a moment. It made so much sense now. The boys face becomes so clear... the dark messy hair and deep brooding eyes. Then she feels his mouth close over hers and warm air pushed into her aching lungs. His mouth is quickly gone. She blinks at him then slowly smiles laying her head on his shoulder.

Swimming to the surface he reluctantly turns his face away from hers. "It's her..." He tugs her to the shallow end of the spring and sets her on the stone steps that descends into depths of the warm water. Kenpachi lifts his head over to the two standing next to the edge and gives them a fierce glare. Ikkaku and Yumichika take the hint tripping over each other to the exit.

Ichigo sits shivering despite the heated water. The white robe clinging to her body as her chest sucks in air. She feels a large towel cocoon around her and looks up to see him walking away. Her body is shrieking, her heart trembling as he steps closer to the door. She knew the name. She felt it in her bones. The desire to call him back to her, but would he come? Would he hear it in her voice? "P-Pachi?" She whispers not even sure how far the sound would carry.

"It's me." He stops with his hand on the smooth wooden door waiting for what seemed an hour before she spoke again.

"You could have swam to the surface. Why did you-?"

"I... just couldn't let you go." He turns around risking another glance at her tan face. "I don't let go of anything if I don't want to." His eyes drift up her soaked body as she stands. "If you fall I fall that's all there is too it." Then she shocked him by dropping the towel and falling back into the water with her arms wide open, a smile on her face. He didn't wait a second, dashing into the churning water to grab onto her.

His hands reach out; one curling around her narrow waist the other around her wrist. He holds her against him just watching the blush turning her skin pink. Kenpachi wasn't known as a deep thinker, and he didn't really give a fuck. But his mind started clicking as her arms slid around his neck pulling him closer. "Ichigo."

"Ichi." She corrects him braving a glance up at his shocked face. "I'm just Ichi to you... Pachi." Her eyes move slowly over his lips. The thought of touching them suddenly didn't seem so outlandish. He is her Pachi after all. She knew him, she could trust him. Be close to him. Would he let her love him? Shaking her head she decides to risk it all with a simple kiss on his cheek. Leaning closer, she presses her lips against his wet skin and hears a groan rumble from his chest.

Kenpachi blinks for a moment confused. That fruity kimono wearing captain had made him swear not to touch her until she was recovered. Kyoraku drilled into him the importance of patience and gentleness when winning a woman. He listened because despite Shunsui acting like a lazy drunk, it was obvious the captain had his fair share of pussy. The thing is, Kenpachi only wanted One specific pussy, and that One was close enough to slip his fingers knuckle deep into. "He didn't say anything about her making the first move." He considers pulling away until he feels her poking her fingertip at his chin.

"Oh fuck it!"

"Ichi-" He sees red when her lips press against his clenched mouth. "She is kissing me... willingly?" Kenpachi feels her small hands sliding up into his hair making him shiver. "Tch, She keeps doing that and I'll just surrender... Wait a minute. Is she trying to conquer me? Oh hell no!"

Kenpachi moves fast tugging her by the wrist out of the hot spring into his rooms. He slams the door shut with a foot. Pushing her back against his bed sideways, his hand still wrapped around her arm. His body feels rigid watching her drenched form laying across his bed. The deep blush over her tan skin, the messy orange hair, the clinging robe all make his cock weep.

She stares at him as he starts ripping the clothes from his body. "P-Pachi..."

"What?" His pants drop to the floor joining his torn haori. "You been mine before and will be again in the next life."

"I-I." Her eyes blink at his engorged cock glistening and defying gravity. "Big..."

"Ya gonna run, Ichi?" He grins wide at her as she tries to yank her wrist from his firm grip. "I'll chase you till we both die."

"Oi!" She narrows her eyes at him giving him her best defiant expression. "Hell no!" She turns her face away tilting her eyes up to the ceiling. "I-I just can't take off my clothes unless you let me go!"

"I ain't letting this arm go." He jerks her off the bed against his chest. "Not until I have conquered you."

"C-Conquered?" Her body caught on fire as his mouth covered hers. She faintly hears the fabric of her robe tearing and feels Kenpachi's empty hand peeling it down from the back of her neck. Her mind is fuzzy with the burning of his mouth sucking greedily at hers. His free hand returns quickly to her warm wet skin cupping the bottom of her ass to squeeze. She gasps for air only to feel his long tongue force it's way into hers to flick on the roof of her mouth. Her knees buckle, she tumbles back to the bed breaking the kiss.

True to his word Kenpachi didn't release her. He raises her arms above her head, licks his lips, settling his knees between her thighs hovering over her. His mouth waters finally seeing both of her breasts and the dark pink nipples practcally begging him to torture. "Hmm." He stops his mouth just above her left nipple.

"Kenpachi?"

"I... don't want to hurt you." He presses his face between her breasts and breathes in her sunshine scent. "Punch me if I get outta line?"

"Um..." She struggles to respond. His lips slide over her breasts to her nipple. The rough wetness of his tongue makes her eyes clamp shut. "Ok..." His moist wet tongue curls around her nipple almost lifting it up into the dark heat of his mouth.

Kenpachi is delirious with need as his mouth bathes her breasts in kisses. The woman tastes like the sun, smells like the sun and even looks like the sun. "Do you like that Ichi?" He slides his free hand down from her breasts slipping between her legs to stroke her clit. "Hmm?" He finds her already wet and releases a long groan against her breasts as he bites down on her nipple.

"Oh god yes." Her head tilts up and her body arches as a long finger slides inside her. She is lost in the pleasure as he pushes in and out increasing the speed. "P-Please." Her hips move up toward him shaking when he suddenly presses his thumb to her plump clit. "Ah!"

She is irresitstable to Kenpachi even when he adds another large finger. She doesn't wince even though he can sense how snug she is. "You had a nice one." He begins moving his fingers again biting and sucking at her nipples harder with every moan from her throat. "Again." Her velvety insides close tight around his fingers and then he feels the small warm gush coating them. "Oh, fuck you do that." Shaking the swimming sensation from his head he quickly removes his fingers ignoring the sounds of her protest and presses his hips against hers. "I gotta feel you come on my dick." Without anymore warning he thrusts inside her as far as he can. He watches her face contort and her back arch up. "Tch, I prob-"

"You asshole!" She curls up her fist punching him in the jaw with her free arm. "Out of line!" She punches him again trying to muster up some reiatsu behind it.

Ok, he hadn't planned for it to be that abrupt. But now that he was balls deep inside her tight pussy he sure as hell wasn't gonna leave. So the only thing he could think of is to get the painful part over as fast as possible and make her feel good again. Then maybe she would stop looking at him like he was that sticky stuff under your shoe that never comes off. He didn't mind her hitting him or cursing at him. He just couldn't stand that sad face.

"Get out of me!" She makes contact with his chin and feels him beginning to move inside her. The burning sensation fueling her anger, she tries to free the hand above her head to no avail. Her next punch had some bite behind it. She watches blood trickle down his lip to his chin.

Kenpachi stops takes one look at her expression shifts his hips a little then starts to pull out of her.

"Oh fuck!" Ichigo suddenly wraps her legs around his hips and digs her heels into his ass. "Pull out and I'll kill you."

Kenpachi doesn't need to be told twice. He curls the side of his lips into a wide smirk leans over her face and begins to move his hips forward. The pace is slow at first. He is satisfied watching her face become redder and redder by the minute. Then she starts to moan quietly making his cock twitch inside her.

"F-Faster Pachi." She reaches up and threads her fingertips into his dark hair pulling him close enough to kiss. Her tongue snaking around his lips licking away the blood before closing over his mouth.

"Mmm." He barely had any control once her tongue touched his he was gone. He began to suck on her tongue and thrust into her tight body. His hand still wrapped around her wrist proving to him he was winning this battle and she was his made him happy. Feeling the sway of her soft breasts against his hard chest drives him to the brink. She is so tight and hot that he moves faster, deeper toward his goal. He knows he can't hold back any longer. Grabbing her free hand he holds it above her head grabbing them both together. His free hand tucks under her knee pulling her legs wide apart giving him another inch to fuck her deeper. Then he starts to use his feet as leverage pistoning fast and hard into her.

"Oh fuck!" She cries out breaking the long kiss. Her body arches almost lifting from the bed as he pounds into her over and over. Each jab of his hard cock releasing a torrent of pleasure.

"Ichi..." He manages to mumble her name near her ear before she suddenly clamps down on him in a massive orgasm. "Hn!" Her hot fluid coats him and he feels it shoot up his cock. He climaxes fast, hard, and deep inside her with a loud groan. Kenpachi pumps inside her a few more times watching her body tremble and her breathing slow. He is satisfied, empty and just damn content. "I win." He flicks her nose with the tip of his finger drawing a strange look from her.

"What does th-ah!" She jerks as he pulls out of her. She watches him pull up a blanket over them with one hand and roll over on his side. "When are you going to let my arm go? I'm not running away."

"Never."

"Ok." She smiles realizing that's the closest thing to 'I love you' she was ever going to get from a man like Kenpachi.

A week later;

Kenpachi leaves the boring ass meeting with one thing on his mind. "Ichi... naked... maybe on top this time? Hehe."

"Oh Zaraki!" Shunsui appears with a Nanao on his heels tilting his hat. "How did your um... battle fair?"

"I won and have been winning every night since." Kenpachi grins wide motioning Kyoraku to lean forward. "She can do that thing you know."

"Oooooh, you better keep her then"

"I plan on it." Kenpachi starts walking around the corner laughing. "I have totally conquered Ichigo."

"Conquered me have you?" Ichigo appears putting her hand on her zanpaktou. "Is that right?"

"Oh shit.."

"Yes Captain Zaraki..." Shunsui nods his head at Ichigo's furious expression. "Oh shit is right. Now you better run."

"Eh... Now Ichi-"

"BANKAI!"

Kenpachi took off dashing through the streets dodging attacks and smiling ear to ear. It seemed to him that karma had thrust the two of them in each others paths and who the hell was he to fight it? "He-he, She is chasing me now. I LOVE IT!"

The End.
