   Summary

   Madarame Ikkaku, ruthless killer, hitman, bare-knuckle brawler, and right-hand man to crime lord Zaraki Kenpachi-- he was all of these things and more. What he never expected to be was a savior, but a pretty face and a sad fate have Ikkaku sticking his neck out for a man he doesn't know, and for reasons he can't explain.
