Chapter Ten
The scarred woman yawned and stretched her arms above her head. She turned over in her bed and pulled the covers up to her chin. ‘Huh…’ She wondered in complete confusion. ‘When did I get a bed?’ She thought as she sat up and looked around her empty apartment. Sure enough she was in her own room, though she didn’t remember getting into bed. Hell, she didn’t remember getting a bed in the first place. Her hand laid on the space beside her and her heart did a double thump as the warmth under it. ‘Someone was here…’ She bit her lip and wondered why she didn’t freak out that someone had be laying in bed with her. Yet, there was an odd sense of security wrapped around the room. A strong yet gently energy made her not question who was there but where had they gone.
A knock on her door and rushing footsteps pulled her from her thoughts. “Reika-chan!” Came the panicked voice of none other than Renji, his hand on the hilt of his sword as he rushed into her room. “What…” He stopped once he saw her and blushed heavily. Reika was pouting and rubbing the sleep from her eye. Her hair was messy, commonly known as bed head, and her clothes were tousled and scrunched. He fumbled over his words trying not to stare at the utterly cute display.
‘No wonder Captain Kenpachi is wrapped around her all the time.’ He coughed regaining his normal nature, even as Reika tilted her head at him in confusion. “The door to your apartment was open and looked to have been broken into. I thought something bad had happened.” Renji said as he suddenly noticed the other spiritual energy that lingered in the room. He smirked realizing that the captain had been there but left, and from what it looked like Reika had no clue.
“I’m fine. Just confused…” She muttered biting the inside of her cheek. “I didn’t miss days again did I?” She asked looking up at him with wide eyes. When he shook his head no she sighed in relief. “Well, I better get ready.” She threw the blanket from her and stood. Renji nodded and stood waiting. Reika turned to him raising an eyebrow. “You are gonna watch?” She smirked with a hand on her hip. “So, all shinigami are perverted?”
Renjis face went pale as he again fumbled around the words in his mouth. “I…no…well…” Gulping he turned to the door in her room. “I’ll wait outside.” He mumbled face as red as his hair.
“You do that.” Reika chuckled watching the male leave. She shook her head and began to prepare for the day.
Reika stood before the other female. The special ops woman seemed to be glaring down at her. Which seemed rather impossible in Reikas mind. Seeing as they were almost the same height. Yet the crazy female captain seemed to have perfected it. ‘I guess it comes with the being short, have to able to intimidate someone somehow.’ Reika thought idly. After the captain seemed to be annoyed with the staring match she stepped away and took a spot leaning against the wall.
“I was informed that you were getting someone from the 11th division to practice spar with you.” Her voice seemed uncaring but there was underlining demand for an answer.
Reika stiffened and turned her gaze out the window. “I don’t see how that is anyone elses business but my own.” She answered coldly. “Who I spar and who I don’t is my own matter.” She turned dull green eyes back to the captain. Soi looked at the girl and the captains mind went into thinking mode.
“Renji,” The red head stepped up from the spot he had been. “You will practice with her today. I wish to observe.” The red headed nodded and took his stance. Reika smirked at him causing him to smirk back.
“Well lets play shall we?” Reika said playfully, the two took out their swords and began their spar.
Soi sat back and watched, the whole while thinking about her little ‘meeting’ with the captain of the 11th division.
Kenpachi didn’t bother knocking when he walked into the 2nd division Captains room. He never was one for manners. Soi looked up from her paperwork and frowned. “Can I help you?” She hissed, annoyed that the male hadn’t knocked.
Kenpachi only stood there, looking at the woman in front of him. He had some things to ask but he didn’t know how to ask them. Soi sighed and sat back in her overly large chair. “I don’t have all afternoon Captain.” Kenpachi growled in annoyance.
“The girl…” He said expecting the short woman to know whom he was speaking about. “Did something happen while one of your sessions were going on?”
The females eyebrows frowned as she remembered the event that had occurred a few days before. The killing aura, the spike in spiritual energy, but above all else the sadistic look on the scarred face of the woman she’d been sparring with. “What does it concern you?”
Kenpachi knew something had happened, yet the woman before him was being difficult. “What does it concern me?” He glared at the woman. “Maybe you should ask yourself that question? What is a captain doing training some unruly soul?” He asked vaguely remembering what the short female captain had called Reika.
Soi hissed at the man. He didn’t need to know the real reason why she offered to be the trainer. “You think I’d let that piece of trash into the ranks!” She stood slamming her hands on the desk before her. “I don’t care if she passes this training nonsense! I wont allow it!” Even though deep down Soi knew the real reason she had volunteered her services, she wanted honor back. This outsider had taken down three of her men. And she didn’t even hold a weapon! How was that making the other divisions respect her and her men? Soi would let them see that it was just luck the Reika had gotten away unharmed.
Kenpachi smirked at the woman. He turned to leave when there was a knock at the door. “I’d watch what you say about her around me Captain. I don’t react well when things that belong to me are mocked or used.” He opened the door to see the very woman he’d been speaking about.
When she came out of her thoughts Soi looked over at the two sparring. Reika had a sick smirk on her face as Renji and her fought. Renji frowned as his sword clashed with hers. He was being pushed back but it was odd. Reika had little to no skills above the normal stances and swings. Her strikes were always predictable and yet her body seemed to flow like water through the air. It was pure force pushing Renji back, each blow seemed more fierce than the last. As the sick blood lusting smirk grew on her face, her eyes dulled and her sword clashed against his own.
Reika giggled in sick fascination, her tongue darting out to lick her smirking lips. Her hands nearly bled at the grip she had on the hilt of her sword.
‘Tsk, tsk Reika…’ Came a voice from the inside of her head. This time is wasn’t her own. ‘If you just call me, I’d take care of that dirt bag, and I’ll get a taste of that bitches blood too.’ Reika felt the corner of her lip twitch at the all too delicious offer. ‘Let me out!’ The voice growled in her mind. Reikas eyes went dull and blank. Renji took a step back, Soi took a step towards the two.
Reikas head fell, hair falling over her scarred face. A twisted smiled came to her face as she held her arm out horizontal her sword glinting in the sun light. Renji swore he saw the blades surface bleed red. “Kets…” She didn’t have a chance to finish the word.
“That’s enough…” A voice came from the doorway. Reika snapped around glare landing on a captain she didn’t know. “Renji get back to your duties. The time set aside for you assisting here is over.” The red head only glanced back at Reika before listening to his captains orders. Byakuya turned to Soi, his face the same stoic it always is. “If you keep my Lieutenant over the time limit I’ve allowed again, he will be removed from your services.” Without another word the strict noble turned and went to leave.
Reika felt the hilt of her sword shake in her hand. The voice in her head screamed in pent up fury. ‘Let me kill him! The fucking bastard!’ Byakuya stopped and turned to the girl who was leaking the aura of a killer. Reikas grip on the hilt tightened as it shook with anger and excitement. ‘His blood is mine!’ Before she could stop herself Reikas feet were charging towards the bastard that had dared to interrupt her fight. The sword stayed lowered to the ground in her one hand, her head never raised and a line of blood dripping down her chin from her teeth digging into her lip.
The stoic captain didn’t even bother to draw his sword. Soi watched without moving, if the girl attacked him it’d be easier to discredit and discard her. And Byakuya didn’t need to be protected. Reika was steps away from the handsome captain when she came to an abrupt halt. Byakuya raised an eyebrow at the girl who stood before him. Reikas body swayed lightly, the captain making no move to catch her.
“Fuck…” Came a struggling voice from the swaying girl. Her hand twitched on the hilt of her sword. “Bastard shinigami…” She mumbled as her wobbly legs carried her away from the uncaring captain.
After he dubbed the girl no longer a threat Byakuya turned and walked back the way he came. He was right to assign Renji to help ‘train’ the girl. Something was off about her, something that lead him to believe she might not be one to trust.
Reika walked down the dirt roads, blood dripping from her palm down the hilt of her sword. The tip of said object nearly touched the dirt floor as she walked. Her body seemed unstable as she took shaky steps. Her long bangs fell over her eyes and her unoccupied hand clenched and unclenched. Even though she was oblivious to anything around her, her body avoided others on the street and turned down the right corners that took her to her home.
“Oy, wench!” Called a male voice. Yet it went unheard by the seemingly lost woman. “Wench!” The voice called before it grabbed onto her arm. Instinct kicked in ans Reika went to chop the offending hand to bits but stopped when the voice spoke again. “What’s got your panties in knots!” Ikkaku grumbled at the odd looking female. Ikkaku glance down at the weapon in the girls hand and frowned. “You really shouldn’t walk around like that, people will think your some sort of threat.” He finally let go of her arm and she followed his gaze down to the sword in her hand.
Nodding in understanding she lifted it to put it back in its proper place around her waist. “Look it’s none of my business but did something happen between you and the Captain?” The bald man asked nervously. Reika froze all of her movements and stared at the ground. “I mean you’re acting all freaky and the Captain has been all weird.”
Reika sighed and finally put the sword in its holder and looked up at the bald man. Smirking she tried her best to act normal. “I suppose I should be insulted that you just called me freaky. Though it doesn’t seem like something I should put much credit into coming from you.” She knew she wasn’t pulling off her normal sarcastic self. Ikkaku only raised an eyebrow at that horrible comeback. Reika sighed. “You act as if there was something between me and your captain to begin with.” She shoved her hands in her pants pockets and clicked her tongue against the roof of her mouth. “The brute having a bad day has nothing to do with me. Maybe you should find him a whore and get him laid. That seems to be the thing on his mind most of the time.” Her voice was low but spiteful. She was hurt and angry by the way the big male had dismissed her. She didn’t understand it herself, shouldn’t she be happy he wasn’t harassing her anymore?
Ikkaku tried not to frown at the way the girl before him spoke but he couldn’t help it. After a few minutes of silence he turned and started to walk, no designation in mind. Reika silently followed. “So, do you want help training again?” He asked offhandedly.
Reika felt the sword at her side tremble with excitement. She quickly shook her head no, not willing to admit she needed time to regain control. “No thanks.” Ikkaku nodded and the two continued to walk in silence. They arrived at a comfy looking patch of grass and Reika fell to the ground. Ikkaku soon followed after. The woman laid down and rolled to her side, facing away from her bald headed companion. “Have you ever lost control of your Zanpakuto?” The question seemed to take the bald male by surprise because he took a few minutes to even voice an answer.
“Not that I remember. Maybe before I knew it’s name, and was trying to contain it.” He looked oddly over at the womans back. “Why have you?”
Reika went stiff then snorted. “Of course not…” She frowned and began plucking blades of grass from the ground. “Don’t be ridicules.” She said cheekily but her voice seemed to lack that cocky undertone it normally had in these situations.
Ikkaku didn’t believe a word of it, yet he didn’t voice his opinion. Though he did wonder if he should mention it to his captain. If she couldn’t control the spirit in her sword, who knew if it could control her. At least that would explain why she had come to him asking his assistance.
‘Tire me out until I have to rely on my instinct.’ Was what she had demanded when he finally agreed to the training. He did tire her out and he would continued even after she was huffing and puffing for much needed air. He would notice her eyes shimmer in and out, as if there was an inner struggle going on. Yet he’d push and push until she almost collapsed from exhaustion. Never once did she turn into that lifeless doll Renji had described to him. He laid back glancing at the woman laying not far from him. Wondering what had changed from the time the two fought to when she fought Captain Soi.
“Look Ken-chan!” Yachiru yelled happily into his ear. She was in her normal spot on his shoulder pointing to the two bodies laying in the grass not far from them. “Rei-chan!” The girl squealed happily, jumping from the big male and dashing to the other girls side.
Kenpachi stood where he was debating if he should go over or not. He wanted to go over and rile the scarred woman up. Wanted to grope her and thrust his tongue into her sweet mouth. Yet he made no move towards her. He was a coward and he hated it. He had practically ran from her apartment when he notice the sun was up. He had gotten a bed and put it in her room when he realized it was bare. Which he was rather angry was still empty. ‘Why didn’t she have things yet? Don’t woman like to just have things?’ He thought scratching the back of his head. ‘Should I buy her things?’ He wondered as he glanced up to see Reika staring right at him.
He felt himself freeze as those green eyes stared into his own. It was only a second that their eyes locked but it felt like hours. And he realized it felt like years since he had seen that prettily scarred face look at him. He knew it was his fault, he was an asshole, but he’d never admit it. And he sure as hell wasn’t saying sorry. She shouldn’t have thrown him into such an unknown world! Shouldn’t have made parts of him awaken that he never knew existed. He felt an aura around him and saw his bald underling smirking up at him.
“Afternoon Cap’in” Ikkaku muttered before taking a stand next to his taller superior. He watched Reika and Yachiru in the grass where he was just moments before. “Renji told me something interesting…” He said absentmindedly, Kenpachi didn’t take his eyes off the woman who was fighting off a hugging Yachiru. “Said he went to pick Reika up…” Ikkaku didn’t dare call her a wench or any other crude name in front of the temperamental captain. “Said the door looked kicked in and there was a strange energy in the air.” Kenpachi glared over at the bald man, causing the other to chuckle nervously. “Just saying…” He took a few steps back away from the captain before turning and sprinting away from the dangerous male.
After he had scared away the annoying bug Kenpachi thought of ways to silence the red headed blabber mouth. He looked back over at the two females. Reika was laying on her back with her hands behind her head and Yachiru was laying against the other girls stomach. The two were talking calmly about god knows what. ‘Probably candy if Yachiru has any say on the topic.’ Kenpachi thought, he crossed his arms and tapped his finger on his forearm. “Fuck it…” He muttered taking the needed steps to take him to the two females. He wanted to be near her and he didn’t give a shit if she didn’t want him around. He was Kenpachi Zaraki for fucks sakes!
