(
Is it a monster? )
Turned into a monster. Is that what Riful was? The tentacles, the discoloration. Was she some sort of hollow, maybe an arrancar? He'd find that out later, Riful would surface eventually. Creatures like that always did.
No, the monster was in reference to Priscilla. He knew that she had some inner energy she could channel. And she had changed a little in their fight. Did she push too far?
Yachiru's panicked breathes set his teeth on edge. He gripped a little tighter, reminding her of where she actually was and who was holding her. Anything to reassure her and to make the fear stop.
"And are you okay?" Well, that question was a double-edged sword. Clearly she wasn't. There was the shoulder to worry about though. She was touching his scar on his face now. Kenpachi moved his right hand to her temple, brushing the hair out of her face.
"How did you bring her back"

"I'm okay, Ken-chan," she said, nodding. She shrugged her shoulder a little. "Doesn't really even hurt. Stupid Riful It's all her fault. It's all all her fault. I think she really hurt somebody Scilly likes. I couldn't tell, he was gone already when I got there. But I think. And she fights like a cheater, too. I hate her."
But Riful was only the cause behind what had scared her so much.
"I told her to. I told her come back! I said not to lose because I was scared and I didn't want her to go away. And I hugged her." Yachiru's breath hitched again and she shivered, leaning closer to Kenpachi. "I held onto her and I begged her not to go."

"Fights like a cheater, eh?" He could have laughed at that. Considering all that had happened, that Riful apparently had done, that she should also be accused of cheating- Well, it was amusing.
He stood up, still holding Yachiru so she didn't fall. He headed for the door.
"We'll get that shoulder fixed up at the clinic. Then we'll see what's going on." Because this surely wasn't over, not by a long shot. He closed the door without locking it - who would dare steal from him? - and headed to where he thought the clinic was. Well, Yachiru knew, at any rate. She'd point the way.
"You did good today, kid."
Reply
She nodded, resting her head against him, at the suggestion of going to the clinic. She didn't really care either way about her shoulder wound. It wasn't nearly as worrisome as the persistent fear she couldn't seem to shake off.
"I did, Ken-chan?" Giant brown eyes turned up to stare at him, questioning, uncertain. Worried. "You think so?"
Reply
He ambled through the streets, not too concerned about losing his way or even getting there quickly. Yachiru's strong and quite resistant to injury. She'll heal fast.
"Yeah. You did. You brought Priscilla back. I'm proud of you." A smile forms, a touch of pride in it.
Reply
Her little fists tightened in the fabric of his robes when he speaks. And when he smiled, she smiled back, small but genuine, and then she rested her forehead against his chest. For Ken-chan to say he was proud of her - she knew he was, but to hear him say it out loud - it almost made everything that had happened tonight okay. It made her feel like she was big and strong like him, like there was nothing she couldn't do, no one she couldn't fight, no battle she couldn't win.
