Chapter 2: Training and the Black Cat

It's been a few days since Ren had his little chat with the group calling themselves the Visored. He found them interesting, former Soul Reapers forcibly given Hollow powers. He actually wondered if Soul Reapers could naturally gain Hollow powers similar to how Hollows could gain Shinigami powers. Ren had even fought all of them at the same time in order to test their skill level, he told them that if they even wanted a chance at winning then they would have to come at him all at once. They didn't believe him and tried to fight him one on one but they quickly found that they were out matched. After that they took his advice and attacked together but they still couldn't get him to draw his sword, that's when they all put on their Hollow masks and attacked. This changed things as he did draw his sword but was still easily beating them.

After the spar he gave them some pointers on using their Hollow powers better before left to do his own thing, though he did promise to come back every now and then so they could talk about how they would deal with Aizen. Today was going to be different though, he had watched as Ichigo took down some low level Hollows before but he was sloppy in how he did things. It was clear to Ren that Rukia had barely told Ichigo anything about his abilities. Today Ren decided to pull Ichigo aside and really teach him something.

Right now we find Ren standing on top of a light pole watching Ichigo walk home from school with Rukia next to him. Jumping down Ren landed in front of them which had the effect of startling them a bit. "Hello Ichigo, Rukia." said Ren.

"Ren, what are you doing here?" asked Ichigo.

"I'm here for you Ichigo." said Ren as he put his hand on Ichigo's chest and pushed out Ichigo's soul. Before Ichigo's body could hit the ground Ren opened a Garganta and pushed the body in, Ichigo's body landed on his bed. "Now that that's taken care of let's go Ichigo." said Ren as he opened a second Garganta and pushed Ichigo into it and walked in after him. Rukia quickly followed after them before the Garganta closed. None of them notice a familiar black cat jump into the Garganta after Rukia.

AN OPEN FIELD

When they came out of the Garganta they found themselves in an open field far outside the city.

"Ren, WHAT THE HELL!?" asked Ichigo after he recovered from everything that just happened.

"Stop crying, it's training day Ichigo." said Ren.

"Training day?" asked Ichigo and Rukia. The cat had already moved to the shadows of a nearby tree in order to watch what was going on.

"Yes training day, I've been watching you and while you've been doing….okay you could also be doing much better. It's clear that Rukia hasn't given you any clear instruction on how to use your new powers and you've been going off of instinct." said Ren.

"To be fair I barely have any power to teach him." said Rukia trying to defend herself.

"True but you know the basics and have yet to even show him the proper way to weild his sword, sure his is probably different from yours but the basics are the basics." said Ren. Rukia blushed at this as she could have at least given Ichigo some pointers.

"Hey don't I have any say in this!?" asked Ichigo.

"Do you want to protect your family or not?" asked Ren. That shut Ichigo up. "Now tell me, do you know your sword's name?" asked Ren.

"You want me to name my sword? Is that something that Soul Reapers normally do?" asked Ichigo.

Ren stared at Ichigo with a deadpan for a few moments before slowly turning that deadpan to Rukia. "You didn't even tell him that much about Soul Reapers." said Ren and Rukia blushed further. Ren shook his head at this then turned back to Ichigo. "Okay Ichigo I can see this is going to take longer than I thought. You see Ichigo a Soul Reaper's sword isn't like any old sword, your sword is a part of your very soul and saying its name unleashes its power. A Soul Reaper doesn't name their sword, their sword is alive and already has its own name, only when you are ready will you hear its name." said Ren.

Ichigo looked at his sword as he absorbed what Ren had just told him. "So how do I hear my sword's name?" asked Ichigo.

"Usually you would clear your mind and try to enter your inner world and talk with your Zanpakuto spirit. You don't seem like the type to meditate so I'm going to force you into your inner world and you'll talk with your spirit." said Ren as his hand began to glow with golden yellow spirit energy before he touched Ichigo's head. Ichigo's eyes became blank as he just stood there.

"What did you do to Ichigo." asked Rukia.

"I did just as I said I would and forced him into his inner world. When he comes back we'll see if he was able to learn his sword's name." said Ren. A few minutes passed and Ichigo finally woke up but his sword didn't change meaning he didn't learn his sword's name. "What did the spirit say?" asked Ren.

"He said I wasn't ready to hear his name." said Ichigo.

"Well then I guess I'll just have to train you to be stronger until you are ready. Now as I've watched you I've noticed that you learn best by doing so I'm going to train you like this. I will attack you and you try to not die while also fighting back." said Ren. Ren then quickly charged forward and punched Ichigo in the chest causing him to go fly back a couple of yards and land on his back.

Ichigo quickly rolled over in order to avoid being stomped on by Ren. "Can you wait a second!" yelled Ichigo.

"Why would I do that, this is training Ichigo so live or die!" said Ren as he charged at Ichigo again. This time Ichigo used his sword to block Ren's attack but the follow up kick to the chin was unexpected. Ichigo swung his sword but Ren easily caught it. "Stop holding back Ichigo, if you want to get stronger than you need to attack me with everything you have." said Ren.

The training continued for a couple of hours as Ichigo improved little by little and Rukia watched from the side lines, the cat still watched from its hiding spot. Both Rukia and the cat noticed that Ren hadn't drawn his sword at all during the training and wondered why; both unknowing compared him to the Captain of Squad 2.

"Alright that's enough for today Ichigo, I'll come get you another time and we'll continue from where we left off." said Ren before he opened a Garganta. "This Garganta will take you to your room so that you can go back into your body and rest." said Ren. Ichigo nodded and did just that while Rukia stayed behind and stared at Ren.

"Why are you doing this?" asked Rukia.

"Because there are plans in motion that have already affected him and will continue to affect him in the future, I won't always be there to protect him and his family so he must be strong enough to do so." said Ren. Rukia just looked at Ren for a bit before she walked through the Garganta. Once she walked through Ren looked off to one of he trees. "Well are you going to come out now?" asked Ren.

At that point a familiar black cat walked up to Ren and stared up at him. "How long did you know I was here?" asked the cat.

"I knew the moment you stepped into the field, you weren't doing anything but watching so I didn't say anything." said Ren.

"You're different from the others of your kind." said the cat.

"I could say the same about you since you haven't tried to kill me yet." said Ren.

"You believe that I'm a Soul Reaper?" asked the cat.

"I know you are, I can feel it. Though that doesn't matter to me, you haven't attacked so neither will I." said Ren. He turned away from the cat only to find it sitting on his right shoulder.

"My name is Yoruichi by the way." said the now named Yoruichi.

"Ren." said Ren.

"Well Ren I would like you to come with me to meet a group of people." said Yoruichi.

"If you're talking about the Visors then I've already met them." said Ren.

"Oh really, well that is too bad, that was the only way I could think of to get you to play a game with me." said Yoruichi.

"Sorry Yoruichi but I don't play games, what you really wanted was to test me." said Ren.

"And how did you figure that out?" asked Yoruichi.

"Because you've been watching me for almost as long as I've been watching Ichigo." said Ren.

"My, my, I must say that your observation skills are impressive, but if you'll indulge me I'd like to test you anyway." said Yoruichi.

"Very well I have nothing better to do at the moment, plus I guess I'll finally get to see your true form." said Ren.

Yoruichi jumped down from Ren's shoulder and in a puff of smoke changed into her true form. As the smoke cleared it revealed a tall beautiful woman with chocolate brown skin, golden eyes, dark violet hair in a fanned out ponytail, an amazing figure with large DD-cup breasts, a flat stomach, a thick juicy ass, and long slender legs. The only thing keeping her even remotely covered was a few wisps of smoke. Yoruichi was smirking as she was expecting to get a reaction out of Ren but it fell a bit when he didn't react at all.

"If you expected to get a reaction out of me for his show of skin then I must inform you that I currently have 5 mates who I have had sex with numerous times. While I will admit that you are a beautiful woman, I will not be blushing or acting nervous like some hormonal teenager just because of a naked woman." said Ren.

Yoruichi was glad her dark skin hid her blush as she remembered watching Ren have sex with that woman named Mila. She could honestly say that was the hottest thing she had ever seen, she even had a rather intense dream about it that night. In a quick burst of speed Yoruichi left the clearing for a few minutes then returned wearing her usual outfit which consisted of white slide on shoes, black tights, a white sash around her waist, and a long sleeved orange top.

"Alright let's start the test." said Yoruichi before she disappeared in a burst of speed and reappeared in front of Ren ready to punch him in the face. Ren didn't lose his calm look and easily caught Yoruichi's punch which caused a small shockwave. Continuing the assault she brought her left leg up to try and kick him in the head but he blocked that attack to. Yoruichi jumped once Ren let go of her and had to resist cradling her hand and leg.

"I'm sure your hand and leg are hurting pretty bad right now but don't worry it will go away soon, I'm purposely holding back just so you don't break any bones. You see Yoruichi all Arrancar have the ability Hierro, this ability makes our skin has hard as steel. Though not every Hierro is as strong as another." said Ren.

"So how strong is your Hierro?" asked Yoruichi as she felt the pain in her hand and leg go away.

"None have ever gotten through my Hierro, don't get me wrong I can still feel blunt force but none have ever been able to cut me." said Ren.

"Well I guess I'll just have to hit you harder." said Yoruichi before she disappeared in a burst of speed and appeared above Ren ready to perform an axe kick. Ren disappeared in his own burst of speed causing Yoruichi to miss but she quickly recovered and followed him. This continued for a while as Yoruichi chased and attacked Ren while he simply blocked or dodged her attacks. Yoruichi started to slowly increase her speed in order to test just how fast Ren could go, she was surprised to find that Ren just continued to keep up with her.

"Okay so he able to easily keep up with me even though I'm not going full speed, he's strong enough to block my attacks without flinching, and he's already said that his Hierro has never been cut." Yoruichi thought to herself.

AN HOUR LATER

Yoruichi was panting as she finally finished testing Ren, though Ren seemed just fine as he wasn't even breathing hard. "Wow, you're pretty good Ren." said Yoruichi.

"Thank you, you're very good as well even if you weren't going all out against me." said Ren.

"Alright Ren since my little test is over I'll get straight to the point. Can we count on you as an ally against Aizen?" asked a now serious Yoruichi.

"Yes you can, I shall enjoy crushing his skull under my foot when the time comes. Until that time however I'll help prepare Ichigo for when the time comes for him to get even deeper involved in all of this." said Ren.

Yoruichi nodded at this as it was always good to have another ally against that mad man. "Oh and I've been meaning to ask you, why is it so difficult for me to sense you?" asked Yoruichi.

"That is because I am compacting and compressing my power. You see I make Aizen nervous so he would be watching for me in Hueco Mundo, but by making my power smaller and harder to sense not only can I come and go from Hueco Mundo as I please but it also helps with my training in controlling my power." said Ren.

"Alright just one last thing, would you mind training with me again sometime?" asked Yoruichi. She couldn't deny that hitting Ren's Hierro had done more damage to her than him so by training with him her body would become even stronger and just maybe be able to break through the defense of the Hierro.

"Sure, we can train together whenever you like." said Ren. While she may not have been able to damage him Ren was impressed with her speed and power, even if she wasn't using her full power. The force behind her punches and kicks was incredible and her speed was nothing to ignore. "This could be the start of a beautiful friendship Yoruichi. I look forward to working with you." said Ren.

Yoruichi looked Ren up and down and licked her lips a little. "Likewise Ren, likewise." Said Yoruichi.
