Chapter 4-The swords
Steven and Becky finally stopped arguing because Rukia got tired of Becky's sarcasm, especially from before, and hit them both in the back of the head. Steven began eating the anonymous food. "Wow this is actually pretty good." Steven said between taking bites. "Good I'm glad you're enjoying your ramen." Urahara said very pleased. "That's what this is? Ramen?" Steven asked sounding shocked. "Yea. Didn't you know that?" Urahara replied. "No but Becky makes ramen all the time but it never tasted that good."
Becky felt insulted and Ashley knew by the expression on her face and said, "No your ramen is really good Becky." Ashley smiled sweetly at Becky and just as Becky turned to look back towards Steven and Urahara, Urahara shoved a stick of pocky in Becky and Ashley's mouths. "YAY POCKY!!!!" screamed Ashley. "Hey what about us Urahara, what are we orphans?" exclaimed Ichigo making hand motions between Rukia and himself. "I'm sorry Ichigo. Here." Urahara said while handing Rukia and Ichigo a box of pocky. Just as Rukia and Ichigo go to open the boxes of pocky, confetti explodes out of the boxes and scares the crap out of the two of them. Ashley and Becky start laughing and Steven starts laughing with his mouth full and starts choking. "AHHH STEVEN WE WILL SAVE YOU!!!" Becky screams while dragging Ashley with her and they both jump on him and knock him over the counter landing with a bang. Ichigo Started laughing and Rukia just gave the direction they were in a 'what the hell?' look. Becky and Ashley got up on their feet and looked at Urahara, Ichigo and Rukia and Becky gave Rukia another salute and said, "Mission accomplished!" Steven staggered his way up and said, "Its awesome when you get knocked down by a couple of chicks but not when it's your cousin and your best friend, they could have killed me."
Urahara spoke up and said, "Were wasting time. We need to get to work. Follow me."
Rukia, Ichigo, Ashley, Becky, and Steven all followed Urahara through a door that led to a ladder that went down into a pit of darkness. As they climbed about more than halfway down, Steven had realized something, "How come I didn't get any pocky?" Ichigo kind of gave him a look and said, "Rukia and I didn't get any either, all we got was a trick box and a good laugh out of you choking.
When they got to the bottom, it showed a big training room. Ashley looked at Becky waiting for her response and it came. "IVE SEEN THIS PLACE ON MY T.V.!" Ashley started to laugh because she knew it was bound to happen. "Well that's good, that must mean you know what happens down here." Urahara replied. Becky looked at Urahara with a 'is this a rhetorical question' look and said, "Yea this is where you were training Ichigo before he went to the soul society." Ichigo looked at Becky and said rather loudly, "WHAT were you STALKING ME?!" Becky looked at Ichigo and went up to him and grabbed his arm and said, "Yes Ichigo, I never want to leave your side, I want to be with you forever and I just needed to know your secret!" Ichigo blinked a few times and blushed then looked away. Rukia got a little jealous and flipped out. "DON'T TOUCH ICHIGO! CANT YOU SEE HES ANNOYED BY YOUR IDIOTIC ACTIONS?!" Everyone looked at Rukia due to her sudden outburst. Ichigo looked shocked more than everyone else. "I'm sure she's only playing around Rukia. I mean she's got a playful spirit and you can just see that." said Ichigo. "No Ichigo, she is an immature little brat who doesn't know how to be serious and if she's still playing around, why is she still holding onto your arm?" blurted Rukia. Neither Becky nor Ichigo noticed that Becky was still holding on to his arm. They both looked down, took a quick glance at each other, looked back down, then quickly backed away from each other mumbling apologies to each other. Becky looked at Rukia and gave her a dirty look. Steven jumped in real quick before Becky turned really serious. Neither Becky nor Steven were good visions when the were angry and serious. "Look at you two! Both of you seriously need to chill the hell out before something bad happens." Steven said cautiously and semi-seriously. "No, let them have their anger showing. It's good for training in that state of mind." Urahara said with a grin on his face. "Training?" Everyone but Urahara said questioningly. "Yes, training." Urahara replied while giving Becky, Ashley, and Steven a 4 foot piece of metal each, and giving a pill to Ichigo. Urahara then instructed everyone but Rukia, "Becky, Ashley, and Steven, o want you to concentrate on the pieces of metal you hold in your hands. Try thinking of a weapon, more likely a sword, and try making the metal transform into it. Ichigo, you know what to do." With that being said, Becky, Ashley, and Steven all looked at their pieces of metal and thought really hard. Ichigo took the pill and turned into a soul reaper. All of a sudden, Steven starts making karate noises and everyone looks at him to find him swinging a pair of nun-chucks around and everyone was amazed until he hit himself in the head with it. Ichigo and Rukia started laughing but Becky and Ashley just smacked themselves in the head. "Way to go loser, that doesn't look like a sword to me." Becky said very sarcastically. "Easy Becky" Urahara said very calmly. "Steven you see those little gaps by your thumbs?" Steven nodded. "Run your thumbs past them." Steven did what he was told and two 2 foot long knives came out of each nun-chuck. Becky, Ashley, Ichigo, and Rukia stood there all shocked. "I knew these kids needed to have some kind of spirit energy." Urahara said while patting Steven on the back. "What makes you say that Mr. Hat and Clogs?" asked Ichigo. "Well Ichigo, how do you explain them coming through the closet?" Urahara smiled and tilted his head to the side.
While Urahara, Ichigo, and Rukia were all talking and Steven was playing with his nun-chucks, Ashley and Becky were trying to concentrate really hard to try making the swords that they were imagining in their minds. All of a sudden, bright flashes of green and red filled the room. Everyone came to gather around the area where the flashes occurred and came to see that Becky and Ashley standing their with their swords. Ashley's sword was a medieval type sword that glowed green and had lighting bolt structures surrounding it. Becky's was still transforming and then stopped and went back to a piece of metal. "God Damn it!" yelled Becky in frustration. "Why the hell am I being so dysfunctional?" She started cursing at herself in German. "Oh my god, she's possessed!" Rukia yelled sarcastically. "Lay off Rukia. " Urahara said standing on Becky's defense. Steven pulled Ashley away from Becky just in case Becky grew a lot of rage and ended up hurting someone. "Well what are we going to do with her Urahara? She's a dud. She can't even wield a zanpaktou." Rukia said insultingly. "Just wait Rukia, watch. Becky, try it again." With saying that, Urahara stepped back a little and so did everyone else. Becky did what she was told and it happened again. Becky felt enraged again but Urahara spoke quickly by saying, "Becky, I know what the problem is." "What is my problem?" "You are thinking of your weapon but the metal knows that your power is far to great for a 'wimpy' zanpaktou like that so in that case, put your spirit energy into the metal and your zanpaktou will form the way it will suit you best." "Ok, here goes nothing." Becky put some energy into it and the red glow was appearing again and split into 2 pieces of metal. When the transformation was complete, Becky had 2 knives that were 3 ½ feet long and glowed red. "See I told you. Your zanpaktou will transform into the weapon that is most fit for you. It may not be what you like but you will come to find that it was made that way for a purpose." Becky was quite please with what he zanpaktou came to be. Right away Becky and Ashley started to fight each other and Steven started to fight Ichigo while Urahara and Rukia watched. Urahara looked at Rukia, "Why don't you like Becky? I feel a strong tension between the two of you." Rukia looked at Urahara with an angered expression. "Because just look at her, she's just an immature little brat." Urahara looked at her and gave her a big smile "I like her attitude, its brilliant." And with that said, he walked away.
