I do not own Bleach, nor the characters from it. I do not make any money from the writing of this story.
Chapter 5
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.
I’d like to dedicate this next chapter to two authors one I’ve mentioned before the wonderful Gwen Waverider who’s stories have kept both Ry and I alternately in stitches and in tears for a long while and one I came across on DayDreamer who’s stories made my stay in Hueco Mundo (AKA my ‘ka-san’s house with limited internet and a computer that I would dearly love to perform Konso on) bearable with two wonderful stories that showed the aftermath of the winter war. I’d also like to thank Yamma-Jii who is still letting me use his computer cus mine’s still sick with a Windows problem (I live an hour and a half from Microsoft and I STILL can’t get tech support on the phone *snort*)
Hey at least your’s will when the glitch is fixed be able to get onto the household network mine’s one glitch away from becoming a boat anchor I think *smile* It’s partially my fault this chapter took so long. I lost it for a bit. *blush* Oh and don’t blame us if they’re Out of Character for some reason they keep coming out that way...
*recap of facts*
When we last left this fic Ami had been poisoned by the psychotic mime from hell aka the 12th squad Taiocho and was having severe panic attacks and an inability to hear her zampakto Sei Hogutenshi after she’d been checked out by Hanatarou she fell asleep in Kenpachi’s lap. This starts up a few minutes after Hana leaves. (As ever when p.o.v. changes I’ll try to put a heads up.)

As Kenpachi looked down at the sleeping woman in his arms something about her drew him to her. His contemplation was interrupted by the return of his lieutenant along with his third and fifth seats.
“Ken-Chan…” Yachiru began but was quiet when she saw Ami asleep in his lap her face tear stained and showing the ravages of her panic attacks. “What happened to Birdy-chan?” (1)
“The ‘clown captain’ poisoned her somehow when he grabbed her arm before their bout.” Kenpachi growled. Ami shivered and whimpered in his arms. Suddenly she woke up her hand went to her mouth and ran out of the office and down the hall. They followed her only to see her step into the restroom the sounds of retching floated out the door. (2) Yachiru and Yumichka slipped thru the door to make sure she was alright, while Ikkaku stayed with Kenpachi.
(With Ami)
Yumichka pulled a handkerchief out of his sleeve and dampened it at the sink then knelt down next to the shaking girl he folded it gently then placed it across the back of her neck.
“What an unbeautiful thing to do, poisoning someone to win a fight” he commented. Ami whimpered and started trying to shrink away from the fifth seat. “Shh, it’s okay Sazuko, we won’t let anyone harm you.” He reassured the frightened woman.
Ami blinked at the two of them and smiled tentatively as she moved away from the commode (3) Yachiru stepped forward with a cup of water.
“Here birdy-chan this might help.” The small pink haired lieutenant said. “Come on, Ken-Chan is waiting for you outside.” She continued tugging the reluctant woman behind her out the door. “Here she is Ken-Chan.”
Kenpachi glared at the few squad members in the hall and they quickly found other places to be. He then took her arm and he, Ikkaku, Yachiru and Yumichka escorted her to her quarters.
“Will you be alright here on your own Sazuko?” The gruff Taiocho asked. She looked at him wide eyed as she began shivering.
“I’ll stay with her Ken-Chan” Yachiru said grabbing Ami’s hand and leading her into the room. He grunted and walked back to his office. Ikkaku and Yumichka following behind him
(With Kenpachi)
The three men walked into the office Ikkaku closing the shoji behind them and locking it.
Kenpachi walked to the cupboard behind his desk unlocked it and drew out three bottles of Sake tossing one to each of his subordinates. He cracked open his bottle and downed half of it in several long swallows, the burn of the liquor soothing the anger he was feeling.
Ikkaku and Yumichka looked at each other then their captain and shrugging each cracked open their bottles and took a drink.
“That damned freak poisoned her.” Kenpachi growled as he sat behind his desk. His two officers sat down on their accustomed chairs next to his desk. “From now on no 11th squad member is to go out alone only in pairs including patrols. I want to know if anyone has heard any rumors if he’s targeting our squad or Sazuko in particular.”
The two officers looked at each other then Kenpachi again.
“I’ll see what scuttlebutt I can dig up from Iba, Yumi you stick close to Sazuko it seems to me that Kourosuchi wants her for some twisted reason. She’s good I’ll give her that. I’ve seen her in the dojo, late at night for the past week before she was cleared to spar, Taiocho you’re not going to believe this but she was practicing Iaido (4).” Ikkaku said shaking his head.
“Keep that quiet for now both of you. For now when she recovers from this she’s going to be training with Yachiru and you two.” Kenpachi said
“Taiocho…” Yumichka said.
“Let the rest of the squads think she’s going to be a nanny for all I care. This kid’s something special…she belongs here. Her fighting Kourosuchi to a standstill proves it. Something strange is going on and I don’t like someone trying to screw with our squad. Well the two of you get going now!”
Yumi and Ikkaku stood and left. Yumichka to ferret out rumors in the squad and Ikkaku to hit Iba up for gossip and more Sake.

(1) No this isn’t an allusion to the title of the story but something else that will come up in a future chapter
(2) Life often imitates art but this one was too much. I was working on this and eating hotdogs for dinner since nobody was up to cooking dinner when we got back from the grocery store and wouldn’t you know I got a package of bad dogs. Food poisoning and not the usual one day and it’s over type no this one lingered and Yamma-Jii went out into a nasty snow storm to get me meds while I was sick which is one of the reasons this is late. I pulled several muscles in my tummy and it hurts to sit up for too long. Ry helped by making me several soothing cups of ginger tea raspberry tea and catnip tea (all of which help the tummy)
(3) there’s no good way to say it guys *smile*
(4) Iaido is one of the older forms of pure swordsmanship one of the resources I’ve found on it says “Iaido is an authentic martial art that proved its martial values in a time of constant battle and warfare…” considering Ami’s history it seems fitting she would know how to practice it.

Sorry this is so long in coming and it’s a short update but well the illness combined with the holidays and unfortunately a trip down to my mum’s all combined to really shag me out not to mention the chapter getting lost. Please forgive us.
