"Congratulations, you aren't a soul reaper," Ichigo said.

"What? I went through all that, and what about all this?" Rin said as he pointed to his new soul reaper garb.

"Let me finish. You aren't a soul reaper, you are a vizard."

"What's a vizard?"

"A soul reaper with hollow powers."

"What? I have hollow powers?" Rin asked, shocked.

"Yes, just like me."

"Cool! How do I use them?"

"You should probably break that mask off your face before you get taken over by your hollow self," Ichigo said as he pointed at the mask Rin wore. It looked like Ichigo's but with blue flame marks instead of red lines.

"What? Okay," Rin said as he drew his new sword and used the handle to break the mask.

"You've passed lesson two, now for lesson three. All you have to do is hit this hat off my head," Ichigo said as he put on a hat like Urahara's.

"That's it? This is going to be easy," Rin said. Ichigo drew his sword and rushed at Rin. Rin barely had any time to block. As their swords clashed Rin heard a crack. He looked at his sword, and to his surprise, Ichigo's sword was cutting into his.

"What are you doing?!" Rin said with a terrified look on his face.

"I'm backing you into a corner. You will die if you don't give this everything you've got." As he said that, Rin's sword cracked all the way through and broke. As his blade fell on the floor Rin looked at what little sword he had left, turned around, and ran as fast as he could. Ichigo chased after him, feeling very nostalgic.

"How am I supposed to fight you with a broken sword?"

"Stop complaining. I had to do everything you are doing," Ichigo responded. Rin continued to run for his life all the while feeling disgusted with himself for being such a coward. "Ugh! Is this all I can do, run like a wimp? I should stand and fight, but if I do, I'll die," Rin thought. Suddenly Rin stopped and found himself in the same Gehenna Gate like place.

"Rin, it seems like you couldn't hear my name no matter how many times I've reached out to you. I'll tell you one more time, so listen." Rin turned around and was shocked to see… "My name is Kuro."

"Kuro!? What are you doing here? Actually, where are we anyway?"

"We're in your spirit world and I'm here because I'm your zanpakuto sword spirit. This is super strange, Rin. I was taking a nap on your bed, and now I can see your room and this place at the same time. Anyway, you must call on my power if you wish to stand a chance against Ichigo. Now, call my name."

"Fight with me, Kuro!" Rin said as he pulled on his new permanent shikai. Its blade looked like it was made out of or was Kuro's missing fang (That's from the manga for those of you who only watched the anime.) and the handle looked like Ichigo's.

"There it is. For a while I didn't think you would be able to pull it off. Interesting design, is that a giant cat tooth?" Ichigo asked.

"Ichigo, I hope you dodge this," Rin said as he held up his new sword.

"Wow, I said that too when I did this. What are the odds?" Ichigo said immediately, raising his sword in response to the unmistakable attack Rin was about to do.

"Getsuga Tensho!" Rin screamed as he slashed at Ichigo.

"Wow, this is strong, way stronger than my first Getsuga. If I want to come out of this in one piece, I better use a full on Getsuga not just cut it in half like I planed," Ichigo thought. "Getsuga Tensho!" The two beams clashed and for a minute they seamed to meld together, but after a couple seconds they both dispersed, causing a gust of wind that made Ichigo's hat fall off his head.

"Good job, Rin. You did it. You passed lesson three and got a permanent shikai."

"What?" Rin asked confused looking at his new sword.

"All zanpakuto have three forms: sealed form, shikai, and bankai. I made it so that it won't go back to sealed form by breaking it and backing you into a corner so that you would die if you didn't unlock your shikai," Ichigo said.

"So, does that mean that we have one more lesson?" Rin asked trying to understand all the information he was being told.

"Yes, lesson four, but we aren't starting it for a while because you need to get stronger and gain some experience fighting with your zanpakuto before you can handle bankai. Now, let's go back to my house and we can resume training another day," Ichigo said.

"Yeah, okay. I could use a break, I'm beat," Rin replied.

"Man, Rin is stronger than I thought. He's around the level I was at when I beat Renji in the Soul Society," Ichigo thought to himself as they went up the ladder to the shop.
