The war is over and Kenpachi is bored. He looks for trouble in the wrong place.
“Ken-chan! Braid Lady is here to see you!”
“Well, what ya waitin for? Send er in.”
Retsu entered the office and took a seat in front of Zaraki’s desk.
“Zaraki-taicho. It has come to my attention that you have had less than complimentary things to say about my subordinates.”
“I called ‘em a bunch of lilly-assed pansies who couldn’t fight to save their lives, if thas what ya mean.”
“We are primarily healers, and I consider it only prudent that my unseated squad members retreat when challenged by a captain.”
That, in his opinion, didn’t change anything. “Ya got a point?”
“If you are seeking an even fight, it would make more sense to challenge a higher ranking member.”
He processed this. “Ya want me te fight ya? I won’t go easy on ya.”
“I wouldn’t expect you to, Zaraki-taicho.” she replied, rising from her chair. “Shall we find a more suitable location?”
Suddenly excited, Zaraki stood up, grinning, and said, “Let’s go.”
He followed her to an empty valley outside Rukongai, Yachiru clinging to his shoulder and chattering excitedly the whole way. He deposited her on a large boulder to watch, and prepared to fight.
“The old man’ll gripe if ya can’t run yer division, so I won’t hurt ya too badly.”
“I know,” she replied serenely.
“To make it fair, I’ll give ya the first shot.”
“Very well.” She drew her sword and flash-stepped toward him.
Zaraki grinned as his eye-patch tumbled to the floor. “I think I’m starting ta like ya.”
“I’m pleased to hear it, Zaraki-taicho. Let us begin.”

Sometime later
Isane leaned back in her chair, exhausted. It had been a tough hour, bringing her patient back from the brink of death. She got up wearily and went out the door to where the person responsible for her hard work waited. “Was that really necessary?”
“I won’t back down from a challenge.”
Isane voiced something that had been bothering her for a while, “Where did the bells go?”
“They gave an unnecessary advantage, so I took them off.”
There was something about this encounter that Isane couldn’t quite put her finger on. Like why it had happened at all. She took the opportunity to ask one last question. “You know you’ll never get any peace now?”
Retsu gave a smile that told Isane all she needed to know. “I know.”
A/N: If you think this is unrealistic, go have a look at her combat stats.
