“You heard me right.” Kenpachi spoke, his voice sounding as spine-chilling as ever, “I said that I like you.”

Although it was quite hard to believe. Nothing about his behaviour screamed ‘in-love’, after all. He had his usual scowl plastered across his face, while his imposing stature made you feel tiny in comparison.

His usual confidence, arrogance even, oozed out as per normal. Kenpachi stared down at you, watching your reaction unfold under his menacing gaze.

He extremely despised the fact that you were Shunsui Kyōraku, the well-known womanizer's, lieutenant.

Kenpachi hated how Shinsui would always flirt with you, the jealousy he felt was overflowing, so much so that he wanted to claim you all to himself. This was how the current situation ended up unfolding. You were his dream woman.

From your unyielding and unshakable personality, heaven sent looks, he thought that you were perfect. Apparently everyone else did as well, as he had caught a few rats flirting with you the day before.

Kenpachi's eyes narrowed further, scrutinising your every facial movement. He was determined to know what you really felt about him.
