Kenpachi and Yachiru came home that night.Elena was in the living room wrapping up her stomach wounds when they walked through the door.
"Wow!! Ela-chan! This place looks great!"
Elena blushed "Thanks." She smiled and pulled her white shirt back over her shoulders.
Kenpachi walked in and sat down at the table,right across from Elena."You were suppose to be healing all day."His eyes lingered over the bloody bandages.
"How do expect me to get better when theres no place for me to sit?"
"Thats a good point." He sighed and rubed the back of his neck. His eye looked around the room.
"It been a while since I've actually been able to lay on this floor." He moved his knees from the floor and layed down on it.
"It's been a while since we could see the floor." Yachiru giggled as she sat next to Elena."It's nice. I wonder why we never had time to clean this house,Kenny."
"I'm the one that's allways busy.In fact your the reason this whole floor was dirty."
"That's not true Kenny!"
Elena giggled, watching the two go back and forth. The old woman never told her about their relationship but to her they were like a father and a daughter. Father....
Elena lowered her head at the thought of her foster father. She closed her eyes and held back tears. She hadn't seen Ganju in months. She remebered some of the features about him ,but she couldn't remember his face.
"Hey, you allright?" Yachiru leaned over the table and looked at Elena.
"Y- Yeah! I'm just fine." She wiped her eyes." I'm just thinking of someone, thats all."
"Well, you better not cry in front of Kenny."
"Huh? I wasn't crying.I....I'm tired."
"Yeah well, Kenny finds crying weak. So avoid it as much as you can."
"I wasn't crying."She covered her mouth.After all she was talking to the leutinant of her division.
Elena put her hands on her wound. It took her a minute to realize she hadn't taken a bath in days.
"Umm...Captain."
"Hmm?"
"Where do I go to take a bath?"
"Theres a bath house for Soul Reapers around here. I'll take you there." he stood up and headed for the door. Yachiru jumped on his shoulders. Elena tried to stand up without reopening her wounds but it didn't work. "DAMN IT!" she hissed.
Kenpachi looked at her from the corner of his eye. Elena felt his stare and slowly made herself stand as if it was her first order from him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
She held the wall as she walked. The pain killers that Unohana gave her were wearing off. Her breathing became heavy as she walked behind him.
"Kenny, It's this way!"
"No it isn't."
"Yes it is! Go that way." Yachiru pointed.
Elena had to stop and rest her head against the wall. The pain was getting greater."Please tell me we are not lost."
"We are not lost."Yachiru giggled.
"You know what i meant, Lieutenant."
"Please don't call me that."
"Why not?"
"Because, it sounds weird coming from you."
"Thanks...."Elena didn't know if it was a complament or not.
"Were lost!"Kenpachi shouted after a second their conversation ended.
"I can tell, Brother." A girl with fox ears was headed for them. She had long dark brown hair and had blood red eyes. She had a eye patch over her left eye just like Kenpachi's.
"Chi."He sighed, "What are you doing here?"
"I was headed for the hot springs ,and thats when I saw you.You and Yachiru are lost again aren't you?" she blushed a little and lowered her head. Kenpachi looked away from her.
Her eye lingered over to where Elena was. Elena recognized her from the day she met Ikkaku. She was from the Third Division and that was all she could remember.
"Kenpachi, she doesn't look good at all. This is that Elena Shikru isn't it?"
Kenpachi nodded.
"Well, since she's new and you two are lost i figure i should bring you all there." She turned to Elena. "Do you need some help?"
Elena smiled. "Yeah, sure." Elena put a arm around Chi's neck and held her stomach as she walked."Thank you....I didn't get your name."
The fox tailed girl smiled. "My name is Chi."
