Zaraki Kenpachi stormed into Fourth Division Headquarters looking for Hanatarou who was supposed to be in the house they shared by now and wasn’t.
So, or he had been detained with extra work, which he shouldn’t be doing given his recent inclination to looking green and puke his guts out - and that Kenpachi had warned Unohana of - or something was actually wrong with the little thing and Unohana had made him stay in for observation and treatment. Either way Unohana was having a piece of his mind.
He scared the location of the captain out of one of the weaklings he happened to pass by in the halls and strode to her office, certain that if something was wrong with Hana, the boy wouldn’t tell him anyway; it wasn’t fear but something kept him from telling Kenpachi things, so he went to Unohana to know things.
With no time to waste, he stepped into her office and asked, “So, what’s wrong with Hanatarou?”
“Good evening, Zaraki-taichou,” she said pleasantly, “what makes you think there is something wrong with Hanatarou-kun?” The permanent serene expression of her face, today had an accompanying gleam to the eyes that told Kenpachi that something was going on.
“He’s late gettin’ home. If nothing’s wrong, ya keepin’ im here fe work when ya know he shouldn’t. I told ya he’s been pukin’ his guts out fe days and without a drop of booze and that just ain’t right. So what’s wrong with ‘im?”
“It is not a question of right or wrong. I can assure you it is nothing too serious or life threatening. But I can’t give you any more details; it is up to Hanatarou-Kun to tell you anything, if he so wishes.”
He was getting hot-headed with her sweet smiling face and the sweet talk that she just kept on giving him. ‘Nothing too serious’?! What t’hell was that supposed to mean?! Did he have something, after all? If so, why would he wish or not to tell him?
“You might want to go see him. He should be awake by now.”
“Awake?” Kenpachi didn’t like this one bit; he was a straight forward man who liked straight forward answers and these freaking Shinigami only knew how to roll things around.
“He had a bit of a shock earlier and fainted. It was actually a good thing; he got to have some extra rest. Shall we?”
She rose and led him to a room down the corridor, in a quiet area of the building; inside, on a high bed, was Hana looking tired but less green now and asleep.
Before leaving Unohana said, “Be calm and patient with him. When you’ve talked things through came and have a word with me.”
He paid her little attention centring his attention on the frail figure on the bed and once she was gone, Kenpachi walked to the bed and watched Hanatarou sleeping. Despite what Unohana had said his sleep didn’t seem restful at all; his brow was sweaty and furrowed, the bed sheets tangled in his legs. He stroked his fingers through the forehead wiping the sweat and smoothing the worry lines. Hana sighed with the touch and his eyes fluttered open.
“Ken-san,” he said before his eyes focused.
“Yeah, hana.”
His stormy eyes focused on Kenpachi and filled with water. “I’m so sorry, Ken-san.”
Kenpachi felt something he didn’t feel often, his heart tightening with sorrow and the utter feeling of uselessness and so he did the only thing that seemed right: held Hana close to him while the little thing cried his eyes out over whatever matter was wrong with him.
Damn! Damn, Unohana to Hueco Mundo! ‘nothing too serious or life threatening’ my ass! What could possibly be wrong with his flower?!

[Note]: Just so you know Hana is the Japanese word for flower. So when I wrote “Yeah, hana.” The no capitalization of 'hana' isn't a typo, it means Kenpachi is calling Hanatarou flower.:P
