I'm back! I know it's not The Seven Crimson Keys but I'm just waiting for my Beta to get back to me on chapter 3 for that. So in the meantime, I'm just going to do this as a little side project to keep me busy. I hope you enjoy it. Also, the reason I put OC because it's an original Zanpakuto in case you were wondering.

"Alright, has everybody had a turn?" A middle aged man with a balding head declared to the second year students that have gathered for the time honored tradition/ rite of passage… The Springtime Familiar Summoning.

"Not yet Professor Colbert, Louise the 'Zero' has yet to do the summoning." A tanned busty redhead known as Kirche von Zerbst shouts back to him. She didn't want to miss, Louise the Zero failing to summon a Familiar. Especially when she made the bold claim that she would summon something better then herself. With a devious grin she saw Louise glare at her before walking up to the summoning circle. "With all your boasting you did yesterday sure you can summon something better than my Fire Salamander, Flame."

"Of course I can!" The words left her mouth before she could even stop herself. Damn, Noble pride, damn being a Zero, and damn Kirche! But she knew that if she failed to summon a familiar then she would be kicked out of the academy and most likely be- even though she already is- betrothed to someone. She would never be able to face her Mother again if she failed. She couldn't fail, she just had to summon something! She began the walk to the summoning circle and already she could hear her classmates making fun of her.

"Look, its Louise the Zero. Better head for cover."

"She should just pack up and leave. She'll just fail anyway."

"There's probably just going to be another explosion. Nothing else happens."

Whatever confidence she had was small and wavering, like a fire that was about to die. But the Rule of Steel demanded that she kept her emotions under perfect control. So she would. She read every book and tome about the 'Summon Servant' spell, drew the summoning circle over and over on pieces of parchment to the point where she could draw it out blindfolded. There is no way she is going to fail! She raised her wand and began to chant.

"My name is Louise Francoise Le Blanc de La Valliere…" Something was welling up inside her, she could feel it. "In the name of the great Five Pentagon Powers…" Something was being pulled. "Following my fate…" No not pulled, just extended. "Summon a Familiar!"

Bringing her wand down like a hammer on a nail she pointed towards the summing circle and she was surprised when-

Boom

… No explosion happened. But this one packed a bigger punch then any of her normal explosions. It knocked several students off their feet and nearly destroyed her uniform but she was the only still standing.

Professor Colbert performed a quick wind spell to dispel the dust cloud that was kicked up and looked at the center of the summoning circle and saw…

"There's nothing there."

"Louise failed the summoning!"

Almost all the classmates were laughing by now. They knew that this is what would happen if she tried it. It took five minutes to calm down the students then he went over to tell Louise the bad news that she was going to be expelled.

"I'm sorry Louise, but I'm afraid that I'm going to have to expe-"

"Professor Colbert! Let me try again!" Lousie practically shouted at him. He was taken aback by this. She failed so he can't really offer her a second chance.

"I'm sorry Louise but failure to summon a familiar means that you have to be expelled." He delivered it in a calm tone but he was confused as to why she would ask for a do over.

"But I can't have a commoner as a Familiar!"

"… What do you mean Louise?" Now he was really confused. Why would she be saying that she couldn't have a commoner as a familiar. Granted human familiars never once happened since he joined the academy but she obviously failed. He couldn't see a thing in the summoning circle.

"There's a middle aged woman with purple hair and is wearing a black cloak and hood that's covering her face. Please let me try again!" She was practically pleading at this point. There was no way she was going to have a commoner as a familiar.

Professor Colbert was flabbergasted. He couldn't see anything but if Louise could then he would just have to trust her.

"I'm sorry Miss Valliere, but the Springtime Familiar Summoning is a sacred rite. If I allowed you to try again, it would be a mark against the Founder himself and blasphemous." Looking at the summoning circle he continued. "But you must take this commoner as your familiar."

"You've got to be kidding me!"

"She didn't summon anything!"

"Just expel her already!"

"That's enough!" Colbert shouted over the growing arguments of the students and looked back to Louise. "Now finish the contract!"

Louise walked dejectedly over towards her familiar. If she truly listened to her fellow classmates she would've heard the fact that no one could see her familiar. Or the fact that she was the only one who could. But she walked towards her familiar who was trying to speak to her but she couldn't hear a thing it was saying.

"Pentagon of the Five Elemental Powers, grant your blessing upon this creature and bind it as my familiar!" Pointing the wand right at the commoner and pulling her down and kissing her should've resulted in the familiar runes being inscribed on the body of her but instead there was a bright flash of light and in her familiars place was a weapon. A weapon that consisted of a wooden shaft that was topped off with a blade. It took Louise a second to realise what she was holding. It was called a Naginata from what her Mother described. It was a particular favorite among Romalia's top guard.

From what Louise could remember the tsuba or guard was in the shape of the pentagram and mounted between the shaft and koshirae. The blade itself was 30 cm long. She knew that it would take some practise to learn but she figured that it would be worth it. But she was confused as to where the commoner went to and why she was left with this weapon.

Likewise everyone was especially confused. They all thought Louise failed but instead she summoned a weapon. They didn't know how to react.

"Well looks like some people can succeed sometimes!" Everyone laughed at what Kirche said and then they each began to depart. They had all summoned their familiars and were heading back to their rooms.

Louise picked up her weapon and began to walk to back. She did it! She summoned something, granted that it was strange and a weapon but she had proof that she was not a failure! Nothing could possibly go wrong now... right?

A/N I'm making Louise's Zanpakuto a Naginata because I feel like it suits her. She's always trying to keep her problems at a distance and never confronts them head on. Don't worry, You'll figure out what the name is soon enough.

Now as for what type of Zanpakuto it is, like melee or Elemental. I'm still deciding on that. As for Shikai and Bankai, you'll just have to wait and see what happens. Just know that it's going to be awesome.

Please, review, favorite and follow!

Until next time!
