Fandom: Bleach
Characters/Pairings: Kenpachi Zaraki/Retsu Unohana
Word Count: 300
Rating: G
Summary:
Alone, Unohana sings. Lost, Kenpachi listens.
-
Birds.
It's all he can think of. Birds, flying high, pitch black figures against the sun at its zenith, their singing traveling throughout miles and miles.
Except Unohana doesn't fly. She sits under the eaves, taking shelter from the summer blaze, but her voice, Kenpachi thinks, that honey sweet, bell chime voice of hers could reverberate to the outer districts of Soul Society; taken by the wind, the rivers, the wilderness. To the clouds where the Soul King resides, to the expanse of Hueco Mundo. A crisp sound that can entwine with all the other sounds of the world, and can rise above them to be the dominant song.
(An exaggeration. Unohana is not loud at all, but when he’s felt the marrow behind his brow, cheekbone, lips and jaw thrum every time he hears her voice, Kenpachi can't be blamed for thinking as such.)
Birds. Her song is about a bird woman of legend who led her life as such: going where she will and taking her melodies in her wings. A one of a kind woman, born every several millennia.
Unohana. Eight thousand flows. First Kenpachi.
Unohana's voice raises (flies) onto the next verse; a rasp, a brief crack of thunder, so unbelievably musical, quickly molding into the stream of her melody –someone loves the bird woman. He cries out her name and begs her to stay. But she spreads her wings and leaves. Taken by her whims, taken by the sky.
Kenpachi wonders if Unohana knows she's singing about herself.
I caught up to you, though. You ain't flying away from me. He chuckles at the epiphany.
Far too intrusive, disruptive. The music stops.
“Captain Zaraki, what are you doing in my garden?”
Without missing a beat he shrugs, half apologetic. “I got lost.” I found you.
