***He’d always been aware of her and the frightening affect she had on the rest of the Seireitei populace. To him, though, she’d just been a necessary evil - someone to patch up those pussies that couldn’t stand scars, or were too incompetent in battle to come out more than barely alive. That Unohana had been the only one able to save him after his clash with Ichigo was always pushed firmly into the back of his mind. It was something he chose never to dwell on for sanity’s sake.
Now, however… now he could understand the terror of so many when it came to Captain Unohana. He still felt above the fear, but seeing her in action, he could definitely understand it. She was amazing. She was enthralling. She was the most dangerous thing he had ever seen.
She didn’t flinch. She didn’t pause. Every move was grace and refined violence, and through it all she held the same composed, serene expression. With her bankai she purified thousands in her unwavering offensive to free as many trapped souls as possible.
She was matching his kill count, so he was only slightly annoyed she was taking the additional time needed to cleanse them, but her deadly beauty in action made it easy to overlook this mildly wasteful action.
The only thing he’d ever been excited by was a challenge, the opportunity to see if he was still master of his own fate. Now for only the second time in his existence, second only to when he held an infant Yachiru, a woman stormed into his heart and laid waste to it. He couldn’t wait to see what sort of challenge Unohana Retsu might pose, because Zaraki Kenpachi had been waiting for a rival of this caliber forever.
