"Oryha said you wanted to become a strong." The voice said. "Yoruichi told me to give you this." The shadow figured showed Neji a human weird looking shape doll. "It's called tenshintai. You strike it with you zanpakutou and the tenshintai will become your zanpakutou's soul."

Neji unsheathed his zanpaku-to and was about to strike the doll but his strike was stopped. "You have to strike it after you call out you zanpakutou's name."

Neji stared at his zanpakutou. He griped it tighter and took a deep breath and muttered, "Spada corto." He called out and his zanpakutou let out a bight light. Then the light faded and Neji's once long zanpakutou turn into two small daggers, one is each hand. Neji lifted his new daggers up in front of his face and stared in awe. Then Neji struck the tenshintai and it transformed into a cute little girl with brown hair and bluish-purple wings.

"Burr." The little girl shivered. "It sucks being isolated for so long." The girl flew a little up so she was face to face with Neji. "What took you so long? You never called me I thought you were special but I guess not." The little girl flew to the top of the boulder and pouted.

"What's her problem?" Neji mutter to him self. "Hey Ichigo, who is she?" Neji looked at the person who was clenching his stomach. Then the person came into the light, it was Ichigo of course, laughing his but off.

"That is your . . . your zanpakutou's soul." He laughed out. His wounds slowly began to open up again from all the laughter. "Ouch, I laughed so hard my wound is reopening." He grabbed his shoulder to stop it from completely opening. Neji was getting very pissed off with Ichigo making fun of his zanpakutou's soul.

The little girl looked down at the two boys then noticed three people coming their way. She recognized one of them and flew down to where the boys were. When the three people got closer Ichigo and Neji stopped yelling. "Hi Zangetsu!" the little girl yelled and waved her hand to the three people's way.

"It's Yoruichi and Oryha." Neji said noticing two out of the three people come towards them. "Who is the third person?" he asked looking at Ichigo.

Ichigo smiled and said proudly, "Zangetsu, my zanpakutou's soul." Neji started to get jealous; he had a cute little girl with fairy wings and Ichigo had a cool guy with shades and a cloak. He couldn't believe it; he was stuck with a zanpakutou with a cute soul while Ichigo got a zanpakutou with a cool soul.

Neji's zanpakutou's soul ran towards Zangetsu. "Long time no see, huh Zangetsu." She said with a sweet smile. "How have you been?" she flew up and sat on Zangetsu's shoulder. Oryha couldn't help but giggle at the fact that Neji had such a cute zanpakutou. Yoruichi just stared in disbelieve that the two zanpaku-tos knew each other.

Neji and Ichigo ran towards Oryha, Yoruichi, and their zanpaku-to's souls. "You know Zangetsu?" Ichigo asked a little confused. "How?"

"Tasulala and I had partners before you that would train, fight, and explore together. They were the best of friends and eventually Tasulala and I become friends as well." Zangetsu answered Ichigo's question. The little girl nodded and had a big grin on her face.

"Tasulala?" Neji repeated to him self.

The little girl flew off Zangetsu's shoulder and was face to face with Neji once again. Neji gulped afraid he was going to get yelled at again. "You can call me that instead of 'spada corto'. If you called upon me earlier and actually talked to me once in a while you would have found that out on your own." She screamed at him. Neji what motionless, he was scared of Tasulala.

"You're worse than me." Ichigo mumbled to Neji. "At least I talk to Zangetsu." Ichigo was proud that he was better than Neji.

"On the contrary," Oryha interrupted Ichigo's moment of glory. "You are both sad. True Neji never talked to Tasulala. But you, Ichigo, depend too much on Zangetsu than your self making you just as bad." Ichigo crouched down now all depressed and gloomy. Neji smiled but then Tasulala got in his face and started yelling at him.

"Tasulala that's enough." Yoruichi sternly ordered. Tasulala flew over to Yoruichi as she explained everything. "I have been given three days to get both of you guys to learn bankai, which would normally take at least ten years." Ichigo and Neji both stood at her in shock. "Tasulala and Zangetsu will decide their way to get you there." Yoruichi looked at the two and they nodded.

Tasulala flew and grabbed Neji's arm and forced to go to where she was leading him. Zangetsu just stood still glaring at Ichigo as he stood up and stared back. Oryha gave Yoruichi a bracelet with a charm of the Uchiha clan sign on it. Oryha showed her an identical one on her wrist. "I will send you some of my power so you'll be able to keep both, Tasulala and Zangetsu here. Just wear that and the power will be transfer, if either of us takes the bracelet off the power won't be transferred. So once training is over take it off." Oryha explained. "I have some things that I must attend to before Rukia's execution. Take care of them both okay."

Yoruichi nodded and put the bracelet on. "What do you have to do?" she asked.

"Just some personal things I suppose you can call them." Oryha answered and started heading off. She stopped and turned toward Yoruichi. "I'll be back by tomorrow." Yoruichi understood, she felt the power from Oryha flowing though her. She couldn't believe she only received a little bit of her power but it felt like it was all of her power. She wanted to ask Oryha about it was Oryha had already left. Yoruichi jumped onto a large rock formation that was in between the two pairs to watch over them as they began their intense training.

Neji was still being dragged by Tasulala until she stopped and he walked right into her. "Hey watch where you're going." Tasulala complained. Neji apologized and started to gaze at his surroundings. "Okay I'm here to get you to use bankai. Which is going to be really difficult for you because you never bother calling me before now!" she screamed in Neji's face. Tasulala flew about ten feet in front of Neji and landed on her feet and faced Neji with a serious look. "Do you want to know what you have to do to achieve bankai?"

"Yes," Neji said. "I do what ever it takes." Neji heard Ichigo's training on the opposite side. He heard swords clashing and some shattering. He started what the little fairy or big fairy in her case had in store for him.

"Okay," Tasulala said seriously. "All you have to do is," Neji gulped; afraid of what this girl might make him do. She already scared him when she yells in his face. Plus, she must really hate him for never calling on her, which might make her choose some thing like escaping a pit full of alligators or lions. "All you have to do is catch me." Neji was shock but then he grin because it seemed like an easy task. "Oh I almost forgot." Tasulala snapped her fingers and sweatband-like bracelets appeared on Neji's wrists and ankles and a headband covered over his hitai-ate leaf headband.

Neji glances at the bracelets on his wrists and he lifted up his feet to look at the once on his ankles. Then he felt the one on his forehead. He tried taking them off but they were like glued to his skin. "What the hell are these things?" Neji yelled still trying to remove them.

"They are my own specialty." Tasulala grinned. She flew up to Neji and explained. "They are on you to prevent you from using any kind of ninjutsu or any other special techniques you have. Meaning you will have the abilities of an average normal human." Neji looked at Tasulala surprisingly. He tried to use his Byakugan but nothing, just a slight bit of pain. "If you try to use your techniques you will feel much more pain than you just felt." She warned. She flew backwards to her spot ten feet from Neji. "Now if you're ready, you can now try to catch me as you are."

Neji stared at Tasulala with anger and charged toward her. She flew above and smiled and teased him. "You'll never catch me like that. Have you forgotten that I'm a fairy, I can fly." She yelled at him. Neji tried chasing after her and everything he could do. But nothing worked.

'It seems Neji has it just as hard.' Yoruichi thought. She glanced at each side of her as the boys continued their training. 'Hopefully they both will achieve bankai in three days. If they don't they won't have a pray that will save them.'

"Why can't you let me use my techniques?" Neji complained. Yoruichi looked at him and Tasulala.

"If I allow you to use your techniques this would already be over with." Tasulala explained. She was flying high in the air. "They whole point is to teach you to use everything else. Your techniques won't help you achieve bankai, only you will be able to." Tasulala crossed her arms over her chest and stood as if she were standing on land. "You must relay on what you have left. Only those things working together can help you catch me."

Yoruichi wondered what Neji was going to do now that Tasulala gave him a hint. But all he did was lay down on the ground and closed his eyes. Both Tasulala and Yoruichi were both equally shocked at what he did. "So I can only catch you with what I have left, huh?" Neji asked placing his hands being his head.

"Yes," Tasulala said questionably. "That is all you can use to catch me. Everything else will kill you." Tasulala floated back down on the floor wondering what Neji was thinking of doing.

Neji stood up and dust him self off. "Then I know how I'm going to catch you." Neji said with a confident smile. Tasulala smiled back and flew back into the sky. "Flying won't help you for long." Neji yelled at her. Yoruichi watched, wondering what Neji had up his sleeves.
