Riding on Kenpachi's shoulder, Yachiru was on top of the world, mistress of all she surveyed. Which admittedly was, just now, just a lot of ruined buildings and wrecked roads, not that different from Rukongai or from select parts of Sereitei after a particularly rowdy day for the Eleventh. But it was the principle of the thing. She stood tall, shaded her eyes and looked out like a true soldier on watch.

Candy. This time they were going to get it for sure. The candy that had defied her would not dare to just let Ken-chan's hands pass through, not if it knew what was good for it. It was calling her, that promised candy, she could hear it loud and clear. It was calling her toward -

"There!" She stretched out an arm and pointed straight ahead. Straight ahead was always a safe bet.

I'm really sorry.

Straight ahead was a wall. Kenpachi shrugged and kicked it down, heading down the alley on the other side. It curved a little toward the right direction, so they might get there sometime.

"So wha' type 're ya gonna get when we get there? Got some picked out, 'r ya waiting ta see wha' actually showed up?"

He happily ran on through the streets, glad of the steady presence on his shoulder. She made him feel whole, like things were right in the world. Between having Yachiru, chances to fight just about anything out in the Waste, and knowing Unohana was around and interested, Kenpachi was as close to content as he could get.

*Hugs forever*

"ALL of them!"

Yachiru squealed and clapped when the wall went down, as ever feeling triumphant as though she had anything to do with it. Mouse on the elephant's back and all that. She was rather happy with the idea of leaving a trail of dust behind them on the way to the candy shop.

Kenpachi and Yachiru were on the prowl. Let the heavens tremble.

"Gummies first! An' then the chocolate ones! An' the marshamllowy stuff! An' the black stringy bits! They'll be so so so good!" Her shiny pink reiatsu twinkled in anticipation. She could almost see the mall now.

~hugs back~

"Heh. But not all a' once. Won't be a good idea. Don't want ya sick." She had smarts. She wouldn't eat too much, he was sure. But it never hurt to caution. Yachiru listened to him, for some reason he'd never figured out. It just... fit. And Kenpachi didn't see a reason to question things that fit.

They were also a rather formidable combo, fiery little midget and grinning giant. It was fun to see peoples' reactions to them.

He took note of the order, figuring he might have to find some things to use for sacks, but they'd make it work. "Marshmallowy stuff? Huh. Wha' 'bout tha sours?" That was what he'd munch on, a little.

Due to a couple of quick choices he didn't leave up to her, they were indeed getting close to the mall. He patted his pocket, checking the things he'd brought for trade. Of course, they stood a fair chance of being able to intimidate shopkeepers into 'trading,' too.

Well, he was right because Ken-chan was always right, even when it came to having too much candy, which was otherwise an utterly foreign idea to Yachiru. "Not all at once." She gave a solemn responsible-lieutenant nod. "Promise!" Not listening to him, beyond being usually a stupid thing to do, ran the risk of him being unhappy with her, and that was just unacceptable.

The sours merited some thought. They weren't technically sweets, but they did make her feel all grown-up and she had developed a taste for them what with always eating Ikkaku's stuff to spite him. "They got enough for us both," she finally concluded. "You'll see, Ken-chan, they got so much candy." Her eyes glazed over a little. Thankfully she was at least too old to drool.

"We're there!" She snapped out of her reverie just in time to squeal, pointing at the mall. Seeing him check his pocket she leaned forward and dangled head-down, poking at the pocket in question. "Neh, Ken-chan, you gots money? You think they'll want money?"

[joyinthefight]

It wasn't like he had a problem comforting her when she was sick. He just didn't like to see her sick or hurting, and while she'd not eaten too much before, there was a time for everything. They'd been low on sweets for a while. Control might be a bit hard. "Good." Kenpachi trusted her to keep her promise.

"Yeah? Good. Though ya get first pick." He didn't need candy. It was just nice to munch on.

"Heh. Yep. Good job directin'." Maybe long enough would train both of their abilities to find their way around the place. And maybe it wouldn't. Even if she never changed, he wouldn't be frustrated by it. She was Yachiru. Kenpachi nodded. "If they ask fer it, I got it. Heard some o' 'em were, an' I ain't had reason ta spend it before. But I figure maybe if we grin big enough they ain't gonna be askin'."

With a giant grin, Kenpachi plowed dashed through the mall doors and in, looking for a candy shop.

First pick got a great big satisfied nod and a triumphant fist up in the air. Anyway, Ken-chan should know to trust her when it came to picking good candy. He might be the biggest, strongest and bestest in the whole world, but candy was just her specialty. She'll make sure to keep some of the very best stuff aside for him.

She laughed and clapped at her navigational skills being praised - not that she doubted them for a moment, mind you - but the next instant was already mesmerized by the activity, colors and sounds around the mall. It was chibigami heaven, it was, full of weird shiny things and noises and people, and now that Ken-chan was here it was all hers and she could share all the wonderful things with him. Candy, toys, pets, more candy, more toys, even more candy...

Candy, right around the corner. She could smell it. Right there.

"HELLO!"

The shopkeep was not about to have a good day...
