Chapter 4
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.
This took a bit to rewrite I was knocked for a loop with the news about Tousen (not going into details in case any here haven’t seen the latest manga stuff about it. It screwed up with at least three of my stories and the timeline I’m creating for another one (grumble) not to mention a certain person who shall remain nameless mumble Rysh mumble was reviewing this chapter and lost it… so here is the re-worked chapter. It starts from Kenpachi’s point of view I will mark the switches, sorry for the confusion beforehand.
Ami retreated from the training courtyard walking to Kenpachi’s office quickly not wanting to be near the crowd. Something strange was happening to her she felt like her lungs were being squeezed in an iron fist; the hair on the back of her neck was sticking up. She opened the shoji door and stepped inside sliding it closed behind her. She wrapped her arms around her body shuddering.
Meanwhile Kenpachi after watching the squad for a few minutes walked back to his office to talk to his latest squad member. He now knew why she was in his squad even tho she used Kido he was impressed by her sword work. He also deep in the part of his mind that thought of himself as a parent was happy to have a female roll model in the squad besides Yumichka. Something he had noticed was that she whenever possible used the correct formal address, something almost unheard of in his squad. He arrived at his door opening it with a bang and was shocked to hear a terrified screech from across the room. He looked up in time to see a redheaded blur dive behind his couch.
“Sazuko?” he said as he quietly approached the couch. He looked down to find her huddled behind it in terror. He knelt down near the end of the couch far enough away so she wouldn’t feel trapped and in the same gentle tone he’d used when Yachiru had nightmares he tried to coax her out.
“Sazuko?” he said again “Come here” he reached out his hand to her as if she were a child. She looked at him her eyes’ flickering from grey to silver he dimly sensed her reaitsu starting to fluctuate wildly. “Ami” he held out his other hand trying to show her he would not hurt her.
“Taiocho,” a gentle voice said next to him. “Something was done to her in the fight” he turned his head looking to the source of the voice, a gently glowing cloaked figure (1)was next to him. “I am Sei Hogutenshi, Ami’s Zampakto” the cloaked figure said. “That creature she was fighting did something to her she can’t hear me.” The figure began to flicker. “She trusts you Kenpachi Taiocho” and with that the figure faded away. Kenpachi was surprised when all the sudden Ami launched herself into his arms.
“Sazuko” he said “What?” she shivered in his arms whimpering and rubbing the arm that he’d seen Kourosuchi grab he looked at it and noticed several puncture marks. “Damn” he growled realizing what was wrong. He scooped her up and gently set her on the couch. “Stay here” he said to her.
He walked to the door and stuck his head out and spotting Aramaki he told him to go to 4th squad and get Hanataro, making the excuse that Sazuko had done something stupid when she had fought with Kourosuchi. Aramaki smirked then took off muttering under his breath about weakling newbie’s and why wasn’t she just reporting to the 4th squad.
He returned to the office looking towards the couch again and not seeing her. He scowled and walked back to the couch and found her instead huddled in an impossibly small space between the couch and the end table. Once again coaxing the panicked young woman out he again sat her on the couch.
(Ami’s point of view from the time Kenpachi entered the office)
Ami began to feel panic setting in she looked up as the door banged open and all she knew was a massive tidal wave of reaitsu entered the room. All the sudden her fight or flight instincts kicked in full force with a panicked screech she jumped over the couch and huddled behind it her mind blanking out almost entirely. She heard a murmuring in the back of her mind muffled by the panic. Then she heard a familiar voice saying something in a gentle tone. She looked up at him waves of panic rising in her. He was blocking her escape route and reaching towards her… he even had a sword. He held up his other hand and as she was considering what to do, something else appeared next to him.
The half-familiar figure was there for a few minutes talking to him, that figure voice and his voice both made the panic recede a little. When the figure flickered out, she decided and launched herself into his arms. His startled exclamation brought out a startled whimper and she rubbed her sore arm and shivered in his arms. Something deep inside of her clicked when his arms closed around her for a moment she felt totally safe and protected. He gently set her on the couch and told her to stay there. She watched with wide eyes as he left again taking the feeling of safety away. The primitive part of her mind that seemed to be controlling her actions urged her to hide again and she did that carefully slipping between the table at the end of the couch and the couch itself she then tried to muffle her panicked breathing as she put her arms over her head to cover her bright hair. He came back his voice bringing once again that feeling of safety she wiggled out and quick as a flash she was in his arms again. He sat her on the couch murmuring to her in a gentle voice.
(General point of view)
Hanataro knocked on the door and came in at Kenpachi’s grunt. Kenpachi tightened his hold on his subordinate in case she tried to yet again hide behind or worse yet under the couch.
“I think that bastard clown drugged her somehow,” Kenpachi said to Hanataro as he gently grabbed her arm and held it out showing him the puncture marks. “I sent her to the office to talk to her and when I came in she was like this.” Ami began whimpering again as the gentle healer gently took hold of her arm.
“Ami it’s me Hanna” He said as he looked at the marks. Looking at Zakari he said “I’m going to have to draw blood from the affected area you’re going to need to restrain her tightly, she hates needles at the best of times.”
“Ami” Zakari said as she began shaking harder. He remembered what her Zampakto had told him, that Ami trusted him and it gave him an idea. He pulled her off the couch and into his lap holding her like a child and gently extending her arm to the patient healer. Her shaking began to subside. “Ami” he said again. “Look at me. Only at me, concentrate.” He nodded to Hanataro to get the sample quickly. Ami locked eyes with him (well her eyes to his one visible eye) He noticed then her eyes were flickering from the unusual grey they normally were to the shimmering silver he’d noticed in battle.
“All done,” Hanataro said breaking the silence “I think I know what it is that she was dosed with and all you can do is isolate her. Only have those she seems to trust come near her for at least 24 hours. I’ll report this to Unahona Taiocho as well Sir”
“What’s with taking the blood sample if you knew what it was then” Kenpachi said.
“If it was Kourosuchi that did this we need to make sure there’s nothing else mixed in with it and how strong the dosage is.” Hanataro replied.
Ami meanwhile curled deeper into Kenpachi’s lap. Her fear was still clawing at her but in this safe space, she felt protected enough to give into the exhaustion that seemed to be overwhelming her. She began hearing a gentle voice in her mind murmuring to her and that combined with the warmth of the spirit pressure of the one holding her she drifted off to sleep.
I think I’ll leave it at that… As I said that Idiot Tousen being a Traitor put somewhat of a kibosh on several plotlines. I know most of this stuff is AU but the Manga gives me ideas ya know As ever Reviews are appreciated, Flames go to the plot bunny stir fry for starving authors fund.
