Rating: Um, mention of gore? Character Death?
Challenge Fic: For the 31_days prompt, 2: All this leads to one outcome
Note: Cheated and split fic into 3 parts. Have finished the middle part, so you WILL be getting that as soon as the prompt comes up ;). Fic inspired by this piece of Bleach fanart.
When Ken-chan finally told Yachiru the story of her namesake, she knew her Taichō's end was near. Cradling his enormous head to her body, Yachiru leaned as close as she could to hear the great man’s final words.
When he ceased speaking, Yachiru hit him, striking the meat of his torn shoulders with her flat, equally bloodied hands. “Don’t you leave, Ken-chan!” She declared, refusing to let the moisture rest in her eyes. You didn’t cry in Eleventh Division. “Just think of all the battles you have to fight! Like the one against me, when I take Eleventh Division from your hands!”
Zaraki laughed, blood pooling on the edges of his lips. She was surprised there was any left in his body. “Yachiru, don’t you know you’re the Taichō now?”
And then, he was gone. His soul to return to the mortal world, to meet with his Yachiru again. The one who wasn’t her.
The pink haired Shinigami bowed her head as the battlefield’s quiet was restored. Out of the senior members of Eleventh Division, only she, and her humming zanpakutō, had survived the battle. Her hands twisted in Kenpachi’s hair, hoping the pain would bring him back.
But Zaraki Kenpachi was gone.
It wasn’t suppose to happen this way. They were all suppose to go out together, one final blaze of glory! He had never left her before. Why had he started now? Her zanpakutō called to her small hands, longing to be unsealed once more, longing to avenge her fallen comrades.
A stirring at the edges of the clearing, and Yachiru knew why she’d been left. She might be the smallest member of Eleventh Division, but it was she who would take their revenge. The air around Yachiru crackled with crimson laced pink energy as she hurled her small form towards the creature that had killed her Ken-chan.
A roar of pain. The unmistakable slice of a blade through flesh. A torrent of blood, splattering the frozen ground.
And then?
The clearing’s silence was restored once more.
When the reinforcements from Second Division stumbled out of the woods, they found Yachiru standing atop the massive beast’s body, her back to the bodies of her division. Kenpachi’s bloodied haori was wrapped around her narrow shoulders, the tattered ends curling in the wind.
Author's Notes, Spec, & Call-backs (mostly because of how many reviews I got on FFN for a particular Avatar fic where people forget, you know, the sub-plot of an entire episode)
Also, this is the first proper fanfiction I've written since I got hit by chronic bronchitis over memorial weekend and was saddled with anti-writing meds XD.
1) Yachiru was given her name by Ken-chan, who named her after a woman he admired. I'm pretty sure we're going to find out about this woman.
2) I have a feeling Bleach is going to end with one of those "rocks fall, everybody dies" ending, only in this case nearly all the Captains are going to bite the bucket, leaving room for the 'next generation' to take over. Which is why I think more of the fukutaichō are going to achieve Bankai. And yes, I do go back and forth between Captain vs Taichō XD
3) I think Yachiru is frighteningly powerful for her age. Have you seen this girl when she gets angry?! She's obviously got some Kido skills, but her loyalty to Kenpachi is keeping her from manifesting them, just as others in Eleventh Division are hiding their skills for various reasons. Adding Bankai to the mix and, with Hitsugaya as an example, I could see her taking the leadership of the Eleventh Division, particularly if the upper echelon are, well, gone. However, I don't think in Bleach this situation is going to happen. If anything, I want Yachiru to go out with her Taichō ;______;
4) Later on this month in the next part, I have speculation on Ichigo and the Shiba clan >D.
