The Park, Monday Afternoon.

[namelessblade.livejournal.com]

Kenpachi had just finished doing his hair turning a tree in the backyard of the house into a wooden version of Swiss cheese when Yachiru insisted that he go out with her to the park, and they were going to work on some calming, relaxing sorts of things to help him not want to kill everything in sight, because that would be bad.

He sat leaning against a tree, watching her doing all the yoga-like moves and deep breaths and encouraging him to do the same. "Come on, Ken-chan!" she reached up over her head. "It's fun!"

He quirked an eyebrow. "Who the hell taught you this nonsense? Please tell me this was something you got from Unohana or Yumichicka before we left and not a thing you've picked up from the housemate."

"Red," Yachiru corrected him. "His name is Red." At least, that's what she thought it was. And if not, oh, well, she liked Red. And resumed her stretching.

Kenpachi sighed, carefully thunking his head back against the tree in a way that didn't disturb any of his spikes.

And on the other end of the park, a former prince of Hell was being followed by a group of very persistent ducklings.

Ducks and angels, they just went together despite the annoyance of one for the other.

[namelessblade.livejournal.com]

A prince of hell and two death gods in the same park together. This would end out well.

"What is that spirit force?" Kenpachi had caught onto an extremely strong wave of it coming from....somewhere, his head lifting and the hairs on the back of his neck standing up as much as the ones on the top of his head. His hand went toward his sword on his back; whoever it belonged to had to have incredible power...and had to be an amazing opponent...

And, since it worked so well, he stood up and turned to his Lieutenant. "You do feel that, don't you, Yachiru?"

Yachiru eyed her captain carefully, and nodded. "Yup! It's coming from over....." She looked around, wide-eyed and thoughtful. "...there!" She pointed in the direction opposite the duck pond.

A grin grew on Kenpachi's face. "Excellent. If the strength of this is any indication, he could be a quick mover. You go the other way in case I lose him. It's a big park, but a small island. Got it?"

"Aye-aye, Cap'n!" Yachiru clicker heels together, saluted, and then turned to march the opposite direction until she reached the duck pond.

OOOH, DUCKS! Properly distracted, Yachiru went to go chase them. Possibly to chew on one of their heads.

The ducks quickly waddled behind Lucifer's legs to get away from the head-chewing little pink haired girl.

Lucifer, on the other hand, just raised an eyebrow at the little death god in his park.

[namelessblade.livejournal.com]

Duck duck duck! It took Yachiru a little while after waddling around with them and attempting to mimic their sounds (and still wondering if they were tasty) to notice that, heyyyyy, that spirit force that Ken-chan was talking about was coming from that guy. She smiled at him and waved. "Hello!"

[dawn-bearer.livejournal.com]

"Hello," He replied with a dry sort of amusement. "I don't believe we have met."

[namelessblade.livejournal.com]

"Lieutenant Yachiru Kusajishi of the 11th Division, sir!" she introduced herself proudly; this guy had to be important with a spirit force like that! "Ken-chan's off looking for you right now; he wants to fight!" She sounded very excited about the prospect.

[dawn-bearer.livejournal.com]

"Does he now?" Lucifer smirked and started to walk toward a bench. "Well, he'll find I'm not one to get into frivolous battles unless my options are limited."

The unspoken part of that was that he very rarely had his options be limited.

[namelessblade.livejournal.com]

Yachiru bounced along beside him on his way to the bench. "Oh, but he'd be really, really happy if you would. You're spirit force is even stronger than Ichi-kun's! And Ken-chan loves to fight Ichi-kun!"

[dawn-bearer.livejournal.com]

And the ducklings scurried off to find their mother now that the angel was moving away with the head eater.

"Perhaps another time," He said smoothly. "Now. What brings you to this town? So far away from your realm."

[namelessblade.livejournal.com]

Yachiru made a movement along her lips as though zipping a zipper. "Not supposed to talk about that," she said, with a dire nod. She climbed onto the bench with difficulty, and then settled in, kicking her legs slightly. "But Ken-chan's gotta teach now."

And, in what was a completely logical next step in the conversation for her, she asked, "What's your name? You're not Shinigami, too, are you?" If his spirit force was registering correctly, he could whoop the butt of any Shinigami she knew. And that would make Ken-chan very happy.

[dawn-bearer.livejournal.com]

A teacher. How lovely.

"No, I'm not a shinigami," Lucifer said patiently. "I'm one of the little winged gods, a child of YWEH."

[namelessblade.livejournal.com]

Feet still kicking idly, Yachiru looked up at Lucifer as if still waiting for him to say something interesting.

In her defense, she and Kenpachi were the first in all of Soul Society to gain their positions and not have gone through the formal Shinigami education process.

[dawn-bearer.livejournal.com]

"You have no idea what I'm talking about do you little one?"

[namelessblade.livejournal.com]

"Nope!" The little one seemed rather blissful in her declaration of ignorance, too.

[dawn-bearer.livejournal.com]

He smirked at her. "I am something more than your Ken-chan can handle in a fight."

[namelessblade.livejournal.com]

"Ken-chan's never been beaten before," Yachiru told him, significantly. Kenpachi would argue with that point, but she still considered that battle with Ichi-kun a tie, no matter what he said.

[dawn-bearer.livejournal.com]

"I'm sure he hasn't, but that hardly changes the fact that he will find more than a match in me."

[namelessblade.livejournal.com]

"Good." Yachiru smiled up at Lucifer. "That will make Ken-chan happy."

[dawn-bearer.livejournal.com]

"Another time, child. Another time."

[namelessblade.livejournal.com]

"Promise?"

[dawn-bearer.livejournal.com]

Lucifer smirked as he leaned forward to rest his elbows on his knees. "Promise."

Of course, that could mean a very long tome from now.

[namelessblade.livejournal.com]

Yachiru hopped up to her feet on the seat of the bench and draped her arms over Lucifer's shoulders in a big (surprisingly big for her size, really) hug. "Yay! Thank you!"

[dawn-bearer.livejournal.com]

There was a small pink death god hugging him.

Definitely a first.

Lucifer sighed and waited for the hug to end.

[namelessblade.livejournal.com]

That hug wasn't going to end for a while. That small pink death god was really comfortable draped over Lucifer. Not as comfortable as Ken-chan, but this guy was a lot smaller than Ken-chan. Her chin rested on his shoulder as she observed, "Still don't know your name."

[dawn-bearer.livejournal.com]

He sighed again but made no move to get the child off of him. At least she wasn't trying to lay on his wings or anything.

"Lucifer."

[namelessblade.livejournal.com]

"Thank you!" Having recieved what she wanted, Yachiru released Lucifer and hopped off the park bench. She landed in a low crouch before straightening and waving to her new friend. "I should go find Ken-chan now and go tell him to start training up! Yay!"
