Reaching Out

Part 2
After Mr. Tolin left, Selene was able to finish up on her work. While she worked, questions plagued her mind, but just as she finally got all the horses inside for the night, the questions finally won out on her. Marching over to where Kenpachi was resting, she was now ready to demand for some answers. Who the hell was this guy? He showed up out of nowhere, injured with a sword and now most humans couldn’t see him. This was completely unheard of. She looked at Kenpachi as he lay there in the stall, still wounded as ever.
“I need some answers,” she demanded, breaking the silence.
Kenpachi slowly looked up, giving her a ‘what’ look. “Can’t give you answers to what I don’t know,” he answered a bit harshly.
“You must have some idea on who you are since you told me earlier that humans can’t see you. How do you know this?”
His uncovered eye hardened. “Look, if you have a problem, you can just kick me out and I can find some other way to get help. You know I have a head wound, which would seem I’m suffering with memory loss. If I had to wager a guess, my memories are returning slowly as certain events arises. Now back off.”
Selene gasped, taken aback by his harsh tone. She didn’t know what to say to that. She was at a complete loss for words. Taking a deep breath, she gave a deep sigh. “So now what?” she asked. “You can’t go to the hospital if no one can see you.”
“Guess that means for me to get better, you’ll have to do it,” he stated. “I don’t like this anymore than you do, but this is the way it has to be.”
“And just how the hell am I to do that? She asked, hands on her hips.
Kenpachi grunted. “You’re the human, you figure it out.”
Her eyes widened at being referred to as a human like as if he wasn’t. “What the hell is that supposed to mean? Are you a human?”
“Does it look like I’m a human?” he challenged. “I mean come on, I’m carrying a sword. Have wounds, which would be fatal to ordinary humans. You can see me but many humans cannot. And humans who can see me are very few far and inbetween. And you even said yourself I have an unusual name.”
Selene really wanted to snap a come back, but her mind drew a blank. He was right on all accounts. Mr. Tolin wasn’t able to see him and yet she could. He was carrying around a strange looking sword, nothing she ever seen or heard of before. And his wounds did look fatal and yet he was still alive. The only logical thing she could do was to aide him in the best way possible, which was to deal with his wounds herself. It would be the only way to get rid of him and hopefully perhaps in time, more of his memories would return and she could get some answers.
With an exasperated sigh, her hands dropped from her hips. “Fine. Right now, you can barely walk with those injuries so you’ll have to remain here until you can at least get enough strength to walk to the house. I do have a friend who owes me a favor. He might be able to help me to help your wounds heal.”
“Are you crazy?! You can’t pull that off, you’ll be considered a nut,” he retorted.
“Not when I’ll do it over the phone,” she answered. “He lives in another city and we’re outside of Karakura Town.”
“Karakura Town?” he questioned. “That sounds familiar.” His eyes became unclear as he if was remembering something.
Selene stepped forward, seeing that Kenpachi was no longer looking at her but seemed to be in a trance. “Kenpachi?” she asked. “You ok?”
In Kenpachi’s mind, images were coming to him once again. But this time it was a young teenage boy with short orange hair. He wore a similar outfit he was wearing and the two were fighting one another. For Kenpachi though, he was grinning, having fun. Watching from a distance was a tiny little girl with cotton candy pink hair.
“Ichigo…” Kenpachi finally called aloud.
“Ichigo?” blinked Selene. “As in Ichigo Kurosaki?
Kenpachi’s eyes came back into focus and he looked at Selene as she was slowly stretching a hand out towards him. “What?”
“You just said Ichigo. I know a young boy by that name. Ichigo Kurosaki. His family runs a medical clinic straight out of their home. I haven’t seen Ichigo in over a year though.”
“Yeah… the name sounds familiar but I’m not sure why. But there’s a young boy I know and he’s very strong and I remember fighting him.”
Selene retracted her hand, stepping back. “Maybe we’re talking about a different Ichigo then. The Ichigo I know wasn’t a fighter, at least not the last time I saw him. I better head up to the house and get us some supper. My chores are done for the day. I’ll see you in about an hour. In the meantime I’ll make that phone call to my friend to find out if there’s anything I can help you with.”
Stepping back further to the door of the stall, Selene stepped out and was quick to leave the man alone to his thoughts. She could tell by his set jaw he wanted to be alone.
-
After nearly two weeks dealing with Kenpachi in the stables, Selene was finally able to have him moved to the house where she felt he was safer. At least there, she didn’t have to worry about someone accidentally seeing him in case that person was like herself and could see someone who wasn’t supposed to be seen. Plus with him in the house, she was able relax knowing he would be warmer and his wounds wouldn’t get an infection due to the hay and horses.
True to her word, she was able to get some help to heal Kenpachi’s wounds and now he was on the amend. She was surprised to see he was healing faster any human she ever knew or thought to have known. Kenpachi still had some broken bones but there wasn’t anything she could do about them except make sure he moved as less as possible. For his other wounds, they all healed up nicely.
And to be sure he didn’t move too much, she made sure to set him up in a bedroom with an adjoining bathroom, which happened to be her room and she took another room. The room he was in was formally her parents and she took her old bedroom when her parents were alive.
“This is not what I had in mind,” Kenpachi complained after the third morning waking up inside the house. “And I don’t like to be pampered either.”
“Well tough!” Selene snapped. “The sooner you stop acting spoiled and hating everything I do, the sooner you can be fully healed and we both can be rid of one another. I didn’t ask for your company.”
“Nor did I,” the retorted. “I feel like getting out there and fight.”
Selene rolled her eyes. “Here we go again. What is it with you always on the idea of fighting?” Every night when she would finish her job for the day, she’d hear the TV from her bedroom on, very loud and it would be the same thing over and over. Either him watching some sort of blood sport like wrestling or he’d have on the movie station watching the best fighting action movies out there.
“Sitting around all day and doing nothing is boring.” He then smiled. “But fighting, now that’s exciting.”
“You’re impossible,” she huffed in defeat. “How’s your injuries?”
He flexed his arm with a slight wince but didn’t seem to be too bothered by the pain. “Getting better. I think today I’m going to take a walk.”
“You can’t do that!” she gasped. “You still have broken bones.”
“I’ve had worse before and still moved,” he answered, remembering that fight with the boy Ichigo and remembering he survived the brutal attack. Another face was also popping into his mind often, a small cotton candy pink haired girl who had a very cheery look about her. She was very tiny compared to him, but who was she? In his most recent dream two male faces appeared. One had no hair and the other wore his hair in a fashion that reached around little past his ears.
“You’re an idiot,” Selene huffed again. Although at the same time, she commended his efforts in trying to get better faster. She wished she knew more about him but it was quite difficult when he had no memories and what memories he was producing were just mostly images. When he was still in the stables, she often came upon him while he was dreaming and he was often calling out names.
When she would know he was awake, she would question him the names and his answer was always the same ‘how the hell should I know?’
“Hey,” he spoke quietly, attitude changing. “You remember last week when you asked me some names?”
“Yes. You spoke of a few of them and said their names often.”
“Can you remember what they were?”
“Of course. Ikk-aku. Yumi-chika and Yachiru. Yachiru sounds like a girl’s name.”
At the mention of Yachiru and Selene thinking it sounded like a girl, a memory flash appeared in his head. This time he looked considerably different, hair falling in his face. At his feet was a baby with cotton candy hair. The baby was crawling on the ground nearby a group of bloody dead guys and she didn’t look terrified. In fact she crawled right over to him and touched his sword and smiled after getting blood on her fingers. Mesmerized by her, he decided to give her a name, as she knew she wouldn’t know her own name. He called Yachiru, after someone he once admired. Of course it amazed him to see she wasn’t scared of blood.
“Yachiru…” he murmured as he looked at Selene. “I gave her that name after saving her life from a bunch of bandits. She was only a baby at the time.”
“You don’t seem the type to be sympathetic over a small child like that,” she answered.
“Normally, I’m not. But with her, it was different and later she became a big part of my world, including being my Lieutenant.” Yachiru was the name of the pink haired girl he kept seeing.
“You’re Lieutenant?” Selene blinked. “Are you in a military of sorts.”
“You can say that. I’m a Squad leader and if my memory is serving me correctly there’s 13 Squads and I’m the leader of the 11^th Squad.”
Selene snorted. “Just my luck. You wound up in my barn; love to fight and you’re a leader of a Squad with my favorite number. This day keeps getting better and better.”
“Deal with it woman,” he stated. “Do you think I asked for your help? You willingly offered it. So don’t patronize me on something you did yourself.”
Annoyed, Selene gave him the finger before turning away. “Breakfast will be ready soon. It’s actually a wonder you’re up right now.”
He glanced at her as she began to walk out of the room. “It’s hard to sleep when the blasted sun shines right on my face. How can you stand getting up this early?”
“Done it nearly my entire life, so it’s no biggy.” She turned down the hall, out of sight of the tall man.
Pulling off the covers, Kenpachi slowly got off the bed and carefully made his way to the bathroom to do what he needed to do before making his way to the kitchen. The ranch wasn’t very big, by a long shot. He could remember where he lived it was large with a lot of people living inside it. Though he couldn’t remember the reason why that was, though he had a feeling it was because he was Squad leader. Perhaps that large building he lived in was a place where everyone who served under him lived.
-
In the Soul Society, everyone was getting worried. Kenpachi Zaraki had not checked in and it had been two weeks since he left to fight some strong Hollows. Head Captain Yamamoto was getting worried. The Winter War was slowly approaching and he already had dispatched two of Zaraki’s best men to assist with Captain Hitsugaya and his team on helping Ichigo to deal with the growing concern of Arrancars appearing.
“Head Captain,” spoke up Jushiro as they were all having a Captain’s meeting. “Perhaps someone should go to the World of the Living and inform Captain Zaraki’s men of his disappearance. Maybe while being in Karakura Town, they could search for their Captain.”
“I have already thought of that idea,” the old man said. “If I were to do that, that could give Aizen a tactical advantaged.”
“Not quite,” spoke up Mayuri. “I have been monitoring the activity in the World of the Living and there is hardly any sightings of the Arrancars as of late. It is safe to assume, the traitor isn’t monitoring either. One from Heuco Mundo has to be in the Living World in order to see anything or report back.”
“What are you suggesting?” asked Jushiro.
“I’m suggesting.” Mayuri looked to the illed Captain. “If the Head Captain were to open communications to that girl’s house where Captain Hitsugaya is staying, I’m sure he could get the message to Zaraki’s men.”
“Why would you want to help Kenpachi?” asked Sajin. “We all know you two don’t get alone.”
“As you all know we have to mobilize all we can for this upcoming battle and in doing so, we need all available Captains to participate. This has nothing to do with who I like and dislike.”
“Captain Kurotsuchi is right,” Yamamoto agreed. “Right now we can’t afford to bicker amongst ourselves. Kenpachi’s disappearance is a problem and for all we know, Aizen could be behind it. We have to find him. I shall send word to Captain Hitsugaya of the matter and he can relay the message to those who need to be informed.”
The old man took a deep breath, taking a moment to close his eyes for a moment before regarding the rest of the Captains. “In the meantime, we shall also put our own efforts into finding him as well, but we will have to do it discreetly. One member of each Squad shall be sent to World of the Living and search, but it will be covered up on the idea of hunting down Hollows. Captain Kurotsuchi, your Squad will remain here and work on trying to locate Kenpachi through your computers. We need to solve this problem as quickly and quietly as possible. The less who know, the better. Dismissed.”
As the Captains disbursed, Yamamoto stood and headed to the room where he could contact Hitsugaya. He ignored everyone else around him, doing the task he needed to do. It didn’t take him long to activate the big screen, once getting to the room. As the screen revealed the room, he could see Toshiro and Zaraki’s two men.
“Good, you’re here,” the old man began.
Toshiro turned to see the old man. “What is it?”
“Captain Hitsugaya. There is a new situation at hand. Where is your Lieutenant?”
“She is with Renji and Ichigo,” the young Captain answered.
“Good. The less who knows, the better.”
“And you want us to be present?” asked Ikkaku.
“This message is for the both of you,” answered the old man. “Captain Zaraki has gone missing. He was last reported to have been dealing with a group of Hollows from outside of Karakura town and we never checked in.”
“How long has he been missing?” Yumichika asked, giving a slight worried look.
“Two weeks. I need the two of you to discreetly look for your Captain, making it look as though that isn’t your latest assignment.”
“I see,” Toshiro closed his eyes for a moment. “And you want to be sure in case Aizen is keeping on the lookout he doesn’t know one of our Captains is missing.”
“And we don’t know if Aizen is responsible for his disappearance. We can’t let him get the tactical advantage with this.”
“Agreed.” Toshiro turned to the Squad 11 officers. “So now you have to double your efforts. Keep up with our current assignment as well as look for your Captain.”
“We’ll find him,” Ikkaku glared. “Captain Zaraki is a stubborn man. He won’t die that easily.”
Yamamoto nodded and soon the large screen went dark.
Toshiro turned his full attention to the two Squad 11 men. “And what do you think you’ll do?”
“We’ll first check out the last place where Captain Zaraki was last located,” Yumichika answered.
The two men opened their soul candy and produce their souls out of the faux bodies. “Let’s go Yumichika.”
The two then jumped out of Orihime’s window, leaving their two bodies behind, Before Toshiro could say anything. He knew what those two were doing. They were Kenpachi’s best men, both equivalent to being a Lieutenant, but since the young girl had it, they took the next best positions.
-
As the days progressed, Kenpachi began to heal even more, more so to the point, he began to take walks outside of the house more and sometimes would come upon Selene cleaning the horses. He would throw her tons of questions about her job, annoyed and bemused in how she made money like that. With time passing by, he continued to slowly remember things. The memories were more coming to him in images where he’d have to piece them together.
For Kenpachi though, it was annoying him how he kept winding up crossing paths with her during her workday. It’s not like he was meaning to do it, but it just kept happening and each day he would see her hard at work, the more he actually thought she was attractive. In the meantime, while he was getting ‘friendly’ with Selene, two of his own men were searching for him. They were getting frustrated they were turning up nothing, but they weren’t going to give up.
Finally one evening, after settling down for the night, Kenpachi had another dream and this time the dream was very vivid. It was dealing with him and the fight he was in, which had him the predicament he was in now, staying at Selene’s.
“Ah!” he woke with a shout, springing himself straight into a sitting position. Sweat poured down his face as his face raced wildly. It was very fresh in his mind what the dream had been about. The dream was the key to what was truly going on.
Seconds later, Selene came running in the room, turning on the light. “Kenpachi!”
“What the hell was that?!” he blurted as he lifted one leg up and then rested an arm on it which his head fell onto the arm.
“What the hell was what?” she asked stepped closer. “You just sounded like you had a bad dream.”
“Not a dream,” he answered as he looked up to her fearful eyes. “A memory.”
“A memory?” she blinked stopping just short of the bed.
“In the reason why I ended up in your barn.” He looked over at his sword, resting against the wall by the bathroom door. “I was fighting some obnoxious monsters called Arrancars, winding up wounded during the fight, but that wasn’t going to stop me from killing them. By the time the last one fell, I was thrown to the ground and…” he brought his hand up to the back of his head.
“And when that happened, you fell on something, causing you to have a concussion, screwing around with your memories.” Selene sighed in relief, he was remembering more, which was about time. He had now spent a month with her and was now getting annoying.
“Those damn pushovers,” he growled before giving a mocking grin. “Ha! Now whose boss? Captain Kenpachi Zaraki never goes down easy.” A laugh roared out of him, enjoying the idea he kicked their asses. He could remember defeating the Arrancars, but only because they got careless thinking Kenpachi was down for the count when in fact he jumped back to his feet and was able to attack with the last ounce of his spirit energy, pulling up his eye patch, releasing his entire stock pile of reitsu. But it was then when he lost his memories after Arrancars fell. “Just you wait Aizen, you’re day is coming.”
“Aizen? Who is Aizen?” asked Selene.
Kenpachi looked to Selene, realizing he spoke aloud. “Aizen is…was a Captain, but he and two others betrayed us and left to create havoc. Aizen is the commander of the Arrancar fleet.” There was still one major memory he was forgetting and that dealt exactly what he was a Captain of.
“That’s insane!” Selene blurted. “Are you saying he was once what you are but then betrayed your people and now you were attacked by his own followers?”
“Basically,” Kenpachi nodded. “Aizen is a real whack job.”
“Whatever society you live in, I don’t think I would want to be there.”
“Don’t worry, you won’t have to,” he added with a snort. “The Soul Society isn’t for humans.”
“Soul Society?” Selene blinked. “What is that?”
Kenpachi looked perplex by the question. “How the hell should I know?” he snapped. “You just said ‘society’ and my brain popped up ‘Soul Society’.”
“You know what,” she started getting upset. This man, though he was very attractive, was getting on her last nerve. It didn’t matter that for the past week, every time she would look at him, she felt herself getting aroused by his presence. “You are a real piece of work you know that. Here I am trying to help you and all you can do is insult me at every turn when I question something about what you said.” Even now, she was currently hiding the fact that looking at his near nakedness, she was feeling turned on.
Kenpachi’s eye narrowed in annoyance. “And I’m tired of your constant questions. It’s as if you want me to leave.”
“Well I do!” she growled. “You’re getting in the way of my work load. Having to buy double the amount of groceries than I normally do. Have to buy things I don’t normally and it’s really beginning to piss me off!” The last three words were yelled in anger.
“And who’s fault is that?!” he added, adding in his own amount of anger. He pulled the blankets off him, getting up as she stepped forward. “I wasn’t the one who went and made you do what you did. You did that all on your own.”
“I will blame you if I want!” she snapped, getting closer. “This is my house and you are only the guest!”
“Yes! The guest! You should respect your guests not yell at them!”
With an impatient scream, her eyes blazed in complete anger. “Respect!? You’re the one who isn’t respecting me!”
“Is that so?” His hands were now on his lap, getting ready to stand. “So then why are you the one who started yelling at me?” That was a fair question.
“Because!” she screamed. “You infuriate me!”
“Look who’s talking?”
“Get the hell out!!” she screamed.
With a blink of eye, instead of standing, Kenpachi grabbed the woman’s shoulders, now that she was in his arms reach and pulled her tight against his body. She released a small gasp as she found herself wrapped in his arms, tight against his hard torso.
He grinned, loving the idea of finally able to feel her body. For the past few days, her own supple body was arousing his and it was getting on his nerves. “Now, whose calling the shots?” he commanded.
Selene’s heart hammered in her chest as she continued to look at him in his one eye. All anger was now gone and was replaced by a bit of fear and excitement. It had been a long time since she had a man’s arms around her body and feeling Kenpachi’s strong arms, her body was betraying her. It was reacting in a way she hadn’t felt in a long time.
Taking a deep breath, she was going to rise to his challenge. “I am,” she whispered hotly against his face. In an act, she never thought she’d ever see or do; she lifted her hands to rest on either side of his face. Before either could blink or realize what was going on, her lips were crush to his.
For only several seconds Kenpachi was startled by her move, but it surely didn’t take him long to act on what his body was now telling him. Pushing her further into his body, his lips pressed hers even harder, kissing her bruisingly. Small grunts of pleasure escaped from her throat as the kiss went from shock to rough, both trying to seek dominance over the other. It didn’t take Kenpachi long to force his tongue into her mouth where she was quick to meet up with him and the two began a duel.
He was pressing into her back with a bruising effort, but she didn’t seem to care as her hands were tangled into his hair, giving it a tight grip. From the pressure of his arms, she fell into his lap but instead of feeling uncomfortable, she was quick to straddle his lap, pushing against him. His arms left her back to wrap around her behind, pressing her even closer as he found the ability to stand up from the bed only to turn around and press her into the bed, not once breaking the kiss.
