Odd Bird

We don’t own Bleach or any other characters we borrow for our fan-fictions. We only borrow them respectfully because we love them so much we are receiving nothing other than the satisfaction of sharing our stories, the hope of reviews and the stress relief of dumping the plot bunnies out of our poor tired brains. Please don’t sue it is said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery so websites like these are by definition flattering to the actual owners. In this case Tite, Kubo.


Alright this is mark III of my second chapter for Odd Bird. I was able to get my sick machine into safe mode for a total of 10 minutes without it deciding to throw up the blue screen of death (it’s a 98 machine anyone that‘s had problems with 98 knows this screen)
I got the gist of the writing of the second chapter and it also reminded me of one of the reasons I wrote a future chapter as well. I may post for grins and giggles the first and second original chapters in the future as alternates then again I may just post them on a blog somewhere like I did for History Lesson *smile* here goes.

Thank you magicsmith not only for your kindness but for writing a Kick Ass story about Kenpachi that helped inspire Af and I. Also thank you to those that review all our stories both here and the other sites we posted them on. I’m not sure when we’re going to do the story that deals with Yamamoto but we received a review on it from someone so it’s in the works (Thank you Orionshadow) as for the other stories we’re working on them. Af’s illness as well as some family shuffles have once again intruded not to mention Af and my’s problem with the stupid disk drives.

We don’t own bleach we don’t make money with this story. We respectfully are weaving our ideas in with Kubo Tite’s and a few other’s characters and ideas for fun and intend to make no money from this. We like our fellow fan fiction authors only receive payment in reviews and the enjoyment of the creative process. No disrespect is intended and although we try to do research to minimize those mistakes that are inevitable.

Speaking of mistakes please continue sending me corrections for my spelling Wikipedia isn’t trustworthy and neither are my other sources as for MS word it’s going nuts every time I try anything remotely foreign to it’s dictionary

Thinking to self
‘Zampakto talking’
‘Ari talking to her Zampakto’
“Regular talking”


Ami took a deep breath and looked at the gates for the 11th squad compound. In her right hand she held a small bundle of belongings. In her left hand were her orders.

“I can’t believe he went and did it” she muttered to herself as she again suppressed the pain in her back.

‘Ami love Zakari and his lieutenant both recognize your potential, Yes you would have done well in the 4th squad but you are a fighter, you protect.’ the voice of her Zampakto came to her mind along with a wave of love and support for her barer.

‘Thanks love but I still don’t think I’m strong enough to make a difference in this squad’ Ami said as she patted the hilt of her blade with the hand holding the orders. Then she walked carefully thru the gates and into the building. She walked to the door of the captain’s office and knocked.

“Come In” the gruff voice of Kenpachi said. She stepped inside her eyes automatically scanning the room looking for threats as well as marking alternate exits to the room and the placement of the furniture before coming to rest on her Taiocho. Kenpachi noticed this and nodded to himself in approval also taking in the careful stance wondering what was going on.


“Ami Sazuko reporting as ordered from the academy Sir.” She said standing as close to attention as her back injury would let her (A/N hang on I’ll explain the injury soon I promise) oh gods has he got a hangover? This is going to be impossible. She quickly dropped her bundle to the floor and summoned up a healing Kido as she made her way to his side she touched his head and healed not only the hangover she sensed but the food poisoning that it had been masking. Then she stepped back to the door and resumed her stance at attention.

“What the hell was that all about” Kenpachi asked then looked puzzled as he realized his hangover was gone.

“Sir I healed not only your hangover but the case of food poisoning you had. With respect Sir I wanted to show you why I am less suited for your squad. My fighting abilities are as I told you acceptable but not up to your standards I’m sure. As I just showed you, I have control of my Kido skills. If I’m here, I think I’d be better off taking over the kitchen for a while. It will prevent more of the rampant cases of food poisoning I’ve been told your squad can’t keep a cook more than a week, and you’ve been taking it in turns to man the kitchen.” She swallowed trying to control the flair of pain her quick movements a few minutes ago had caused in her back.

“I wanted you here as a fighter not a cook… and why the hell are you wincing like that?” he said indicating a chair and for her to sit.

“I was on that last mission to the real world Taiocho to the shrine that was infested with hollows. Che they thought there were only two. It was a damn nest of the things I got slammed thru a couple brick walls after I purified a couple. I didn’t want to wait around 4th squad when I was told to report here at this time so…,” she said as she sat a quiet knock interrupted the rest of the speech. Hanataro Yamada stuck his head in after Kenpachi grunted an acknowledgement.

“Kenpachi Taiocho I understand Sazuko is here she’s needed at the fourth to put her spine back together. It was cracked in six places she shouldn’t even be able to walk,” he said as two other healers stood behind him waiting with a stretcher.

“I’m fine Hanataro Sir it’s just a small ache it will be better soon.” She said trying to hide the pain.

“Damnit girl get your butt to 4th squad and then you’re gonna be working in the kitchen for,” he looked at Hanataro who mouthed a month “a month maybe more the rest of this interview can wait. YUMI! Get some idiots on punishment detail to get Sazuko’s stuff and put it in her quarters. I’m giving her the room next to Yachiru’s since you never use it. ”

“Yes Taiocho” Yumichka said as he peeked into the office and looked at the newest member of the squad noticing her unusual hair he smiled “You’ll be an interesting addition to the squad.” He told her

“You really are as pretty as Yachiru said” she replied to the preening fifth seat then she turned to Kenpachi and said. “It’s going to be interesting playing with a squad of thugs and this peacock Taiocho I hope you know what you’re doing” with that she stood and made her painful way to the door ignoring the stretcher bearers trailing a worried Hanataro behind her.
