Zenpachi

Hello readers. This is my newest story. It came in my head and bothered me until I wrote it. I am going to try to keep both this one and Issues with Itachi going simultaneously.

The story is mainly KenpachiXOC and ByakuyaXOC. There's a bit of IshidaXOC because it seemed like fun.

Disclaimer: I do not own Bleach.

Thought of the day: My fortune cookie told me this 'You may be hungry soon: order takeout now.' I intend to live by the wise words of this fortune cookie.

Without further adieu, aka me blabbing about things, here's the story:

Zenpachi

Chapter 1: The unwanted mission

"I'm assigned to do what?" I ask my captain Kuchiki Byakuya when he is finished telling me about my newest mission.

"Eri." Byakuya said my name simply, somehow expressing his disappointment in the fact that I was upset about the mission. He is talented like that. Makes you know his feelings about you with one word. Well actually it's probably just because I have known him for so long that I can tell his feelings about things from his voice. Does that mean that I am the talented one?

"Why can't the 11th division do their own paperwork?" I ask my captain knowing full well that the answer is that Kenpachi just dose not want to do it himself.

"Do you really want to make the 4th division have to send someone there?" he asked me now half ignoring me to finish the paperwork on his desk.

"No they would destroy whoever the 4th division sent. Why me though?"

"You got high marks in fighting in the academy and you can do paperwork. If I recall correctly yours is always on time and sometimes color coded."

"That was once because I was bored, and had sharpies. So basically I am being punished for doing my job correctly?" I ask him sitting down on a chair in front of him in defeat I had been standing in outrage before. I wish I had my sharpies right now.

"Basically." Byakuya said with a smirk causing me to glare at him.

"Well I guess I can't say no," I say then think of something that causes me to smile evilly, "but good luck with getting Renji to do his paperwork himself."

"What are you talking about?" Byakuya asks looking up from his paperwork. That got his attention.

"I usually help him with his paperwork. Plus I am the one who annoys him to do it. Good luck with that." I say with a disgustingly fake smile.

"Why is my third seat in charge of making sure that my lieutenant does something?"

"Because your lieutenant is Renji?" I ponder out loud.

"Maybe I shouldn't have volunteered you then."

"You volunteered me?" I say getting upset once more and standing. Apparently I stand when I am upset and sit when I give up.

"Eri."

"Don't Eri me, captain."

"Fine, Aoki."

"Never mind you using my family name is even stranger than you using my first name." I sigh sitting down once more. You just can't argue with Byakuya. He's not that fun.

"You will need to report to the 11th division first thing tomorrow morning. You will remain living in the 6th division so you will have to walk to the 11th every day."

"Great, this mission just keeps getting better."

"Would you rather stay with all the 11th division men?"

"Nope."

"You may get called on missions with the 11th division, you also may still receive missions from me."

"So basically it will be like I am part of both divisions?"

"Yes."

"Great two captains, lucky me."

"Any questions?"

"Why do you hate me?"

"You know that I do not hate you, Eri."

"One of these says I am going to get a recording of that to boost my self-esteem."

"You don't need to boost that."

"I guess I will see you around, captain." I say getting up and heading towards the door.

"Why do you keep calling me captain?" Byakuya asks as I am near the door leading out of his office. I ignore the question and give a small wave as I leave.

"Now Renji, be sure to do your paperwork while I am gone." I tell him later that night at dinner. I decided to take pity on Byakuya and tell Renji to do his work. I am such a good friend.

"But it's so much simpler when you help me with It." he whined.

"It's not like I have much of a choice in the matter."

"Say hello to the guys in the 11th division for me, if you don't kill them."

"Why Renji, whatever do you mean?" I say with fake innocence.

"I know you and your perfectionism, I have fallen pray to it. Also they won't realize that you are a good fighter."

"I am taking the second part as a compliment and ignoring the fact that you said the first part."

"You are not going to show them mercy are you?"

"It is true that I am not happy with this assignment but as long as they don't challenge me I won't fight them."

"That's the problem I know these guys they will challenge you."

"Then it is their own fault." I say pointing towards Renji with a fork for emphasis.

"They don't know any better."

"You act like I will kill them."

"You will probably destroy their pride."

"Men with their pride. Fine, if I get challenged then I will beat all of them, then they can just assume that I am a really good fighter and not that the people I am fighting against are weak."

"I feel bad for them."

"Would you rather I let them win?"

"No that would be worse if they found out about it later."

"So what would you have me do?"

"Beat them all up, at least then they won't bother you while you try to work."

"It didn't stop you."

"I am no longer in that division."

"I like how you didn't deny that I beat you up."

"What! Hey I didn't notice!" Renji shouted as he stood up in anger.

"That makes you an idiot." I reply smiling evilly.

"What are you doing here?" a bald shinigami of the 11th division asks me as I step into the division.

"I am wondering that myself." I say honestly.

"Are you lost?" a very feminine man asks me smiling at me. Well they both are smiling at me. Apparently my presence makes them happy, at least I helped with something.

"No." I answer looking around at all the 11th division members who are now staring, and some leering, at me.

"Then why is a pretty women like you in the 11th division?" the feminine man asked me.

"I also wonder that." I say as a large man who I recognize as Zaraki Kenpachi enters the room with Yachiru on his shoulder.

"So are you the person they sent from the 6th division to do our paperwork?" Kenpachi asked looking me over then snorting. So rude.

"Yes." I answer unconsciously stepping closer to the feminine male and away from the hulking mass that is Kenpachi.

"They sent a women to our division, what were they thinking?" the bald one asked.

"Who cares? Welcome to division 11, I am Zaraki Kenpachi the captain." Kenpachi introduced himself even though I have already met him before.

"I am Aoki Eri." I introduce myself loud enough for all the members to hear me.

"I am Kusajishi Yachiru the lieutenant, you can call me Yachiru." the pink haired girl said happily, giggling. What was so amusing to her? Maybe it's better that I don't know.

"I am Madarame Ikkaku the third seat officer, call me bald and you die." glad I never voiced my thoughts. He must be psychic since he knows I thought of him as the bald one.

"I am Ayasegawa Yumichika the fifth seat officer because four is not as pretty. You can call me handsome." he said causing me to laugh at his narcissism. I think I will take that literally.

"Sure thing, handsome. Captain Zaraki, how should I address you?" I ask looking at the captain and using all my self-control not to stare at his hair. Must not flick the bell to make it ring.

"You can call me Kenpachi, or captain Zaraki which ever you prefer. I don't really care."

"I think I'll call you Kenpachi because I call my captain captain and adding that to your title would be confusing."

"There's one thing you need to know about. The people in my division will challenge you to fights and I will not interfere. You're on your own, division 6 member."

"Kenpachi please use one of my names to make reference to me."

"You have some spunk in you, don't you?" Ikkaku noted laughing.

"Do you really think that my Captain would send someone incapable to help out your division? I trust that he sent the most qualified person available." I say sounding like I mean it. Just give me the paperwork so that I can get to it.

"What's your rank?" Handsome asked, figuring out what I was alluding to in my speech. I guess he's the brains of the operation.

"I am the 6th division 3rd seat officer." I answered smugly. Ha, I win.

"The 6th division is a division of wusses." Some random 11th division member shouted out.

"So Renji is a wuss now? I'll have to tell him you said that." I said looking at the shinigami that I think said that.

"You know Renji?" Ikkaku asked.

"He is my lieutenant." I answer simply, "That reminds me, Renji says hi."

"Why couldn't they have sent us Renji?" Some random unimportant division 11 member asked.

"Because they want someone to do the paperwork, correctly, and Renji has to be forced to do what little he does now. Basically if they had sent Renji it would not have solved anything."

"If you're the same rank as me that must mean that you are powerful, right?" Ikkaku asked.

"I suppose." I say modestly since I don't want to fight.

"Then fight me." Ikkaku challenged me, drawing his sword (Zampaktu is too long and hard to spell).

"I have several conditions." I announce coming up with a plan to not have to fight all day so that I can do the stupid paperwork.

"Then, Can I have conditions also?" Ikkaku asked.

"That is fair." I concede.

"If I win then you will have to cook the entire division dinner tonight." Ikkaku demanded causing all the members, except the captain and Handsome, to shout in delight.

"Agreed. If I win I will not have to fight anyone else to prove myself to you all."

"Agreed. We shouldn't use Bankai."

"That was going to be one of my conditions, so agreed. If I win you will not bother me while I am doing paperwork unless there is a good reason."

"Fine. We fight to first blood, I don't want to ruin your beauty too much." Ikkaku boasted.

"That would be a shame." Handsome muttered to himself but I heard him.

"That's fine. I guess I am fine with these conditions."

"Let's start then."

Just so you know Aoki means blue tree and Eri means Blessed prize. Aoki is a joke between my friend Linda and I, we like to say 'I am a tree' so she is. There is also a fun reference to this inside joke in one of the upcoming chapters of Another Random Day. Eri will make sense later in the story.

Preview from next chapter: Proving her worth

"I want to fight you." Kenpachi said randomly.

"Well I refuse. I need to get started on your paperwork."

"Ha, she fooled us." Handsome laughed putting his arm over my shoulder. "I'll show you where the office is."

"Thanks, Handsome." I replied smiling at him.

"Anything for you beautiful." he said causing me to laugh.

"Beautiful, you should have a tea party with Yachiru." Yachiru informed me referring to herself in the third person.
