Bleach some of "Wounds" next chp.
Unohana, Zaraki, Yachiru
“Come on, Ken-chan! Come on!”
“I’m coming, Yachiru, don’t try and drag me.”
Unohana sighed and walked over to her door. She slid it open and smiled at the eleventh division’s captain and lieutenant. “Zaraki-taichou. Kusajishi-fukutaichou. I see you’ve come to hold me to our agreement.”
Zaraki grunted. “Damn right - she hasn’t shut up about her candy since you promised it to her.” He took an intimidating step forward and glared. “And you better have it or else - “
“Excuse me, Zaraki-taichou,” she said evenly, “but I do not go back on my word.” She smiled, covering up her irritation with the rough man. “I did promise, and I certainly don’t intend to break it.” She leaned down a little, giving Yachiru a warm smile. “Here,” she said, holding out her hand. “I hope you enjoy.”
Greedily, Yachiru snatched up the three pieces. “Ahh thanks, Braid-Lady.” She swallowed, wiping the back of her hand across her mouth. “But where’s the rest? There was a whole bag! I thought you said there was a whole bag.”
“You’ll get it, Yachiru-chan, don’t worry. But since Zaraki-taichou needs me to watch you while I give you the treat, I thought I’d spread it out.”
“But I want it all!” Yachiru whined, climbing on top of Zaraki’s shoulder. “Come on, Braid-Lady, please?”
Unohana smiled. “I’m going to be very busy all day. If you’re as wild as everyone claims once you’ve had so much sugar, I’m afraid I won’t be able to handle you.”
“No, don’t listen to Pachinko ball and Feather-Brows! I’m good!”
Zaraki snorted. “Yachiru, don’t lie.”
The little girl pouted.
“Well,” Unohana said, “if you’d like to come with me while I run a few errands, then maybe I could be persuaded to give it all to you now.”
Yachiru nodded happily, grinning widely. “Yeah, we’ll go! Right, Ken-chan?”
“Me? Why the hell do you need me with you?”
“You trust me with your lieutenant, then, Zaraki-taichou?” Unohana asked curiously.
“If anything happened to her, I’d have to take her here, anyway.”
Unohana graced him with a warm smile. “Yes. I’m glad you see that.” She turned to Yachiru. “Zaraki-taichou may come if he wishes, but he has to behave, as well. Now here you are.” She pulled a small bag out of her robes and handed it to the eager girl. “Enjoy.”
Yachiru didn’t even have time to mutter a “thank you” as she started shoveling the whole bag into her mouth.
“Slow down,” Zaraki instructed crossly. “If you choke, you’re going to be sorry.”
Unohana merely smiled.
