" The real me?." Asked Tala in confusion while walking around in a circle to get a better look at her big whitetail. " How can this be the real me?."
" I think its suit you well, Tala." Said Inou who stood right beside her, and stared at her with big eyes, before touching the fluffy white ears on Talas head. " Ah, they are so soft."
Tala stood frozen and didn't know what to do while Inoue was caressing her ears that felt really nice.
Her dad chuckled. " Scratch behind her ear, Inoue."
" What?." Tala glared at her dad before she felt Inoue hand moved behind her ear and scratched, and it was like her whole body had its mind of its own while a very enjoyable feeling washed over her, and she closed her eyes.
"Awe, so cute~." She heard Inoue say with a very girly voice and scratched more behind her ears. " Her tail is wagging so happily."
Tala eyes flew right opened and glanced over her shoulder to see her tail was wagging wildly like a dog that was really happy, while she heard her dad laughing in amusement.
" You should have seen her when she was a baby she was so cute when I scratched behind her ear."
Talas could feel her face het up while the other was laughing and wanted to scratch behind her ear to see more of her animal side they apparently thought was adorable.
" Okay, that's enough." Tala moved away from Inoue and the other and tried to not think how good it felt to be scratched behind the ear. But it didn't take a second before she felt somebody scratch her behind her ear again, and she sighs happily before she hit her face.
" Dammit it!."
" Oh, come little moonlight. You don't have to be embarrassed that we found your favorite spot to be scratch." Laughter her dad behind her, and she hit his hand away from her head and glared at him.

I couldn't help to laugh when she glared at me angrily with her face red in embarrassment. What could I say she was so cute when she enjoyed being scratch behind the ear, and see her tail wagging a sign that she liked it.
Tala frowned and hide her ears with her hands to prevent me or anybody else from touching them again.
" Okay, can we start to be serious instead of making fun of me?." She asked annoyed.
" Alright, alright. Lets split up and start our training." I turned to Ururu, who tilted her head. " Don't hold back on him, Ururu."
She bowed." Yes, sir."
I smiled and motion Tala to follow me, and walked far away from the other so we wouldn't disturb each other. I stopped with my back to Tala and looked down at the ground.
To be truthful I was still not happy about teaching her how to fight, maybe because I didn't want to hurt her during the process or maybe the father said of me just couldn't accept the fact, she needs to learn how to protect herself.
" Tala," I said with a hard voice without turning around to face her. " Attack me."
" What?!." Said Tala in surprise and I could imagine how surprised she looked behind my back. " With your back faced to me?."
" Yes, I want to know how you would attack your enemy when their back is faced to you. Try to attack me now!." I said with a much harder voice and tightened my hand around my walking stick before hearing steps running toward me. I sigh and used my speed to move before Tala hit my head with her fist and kicked her right in her stomach.
" AHH!." Tala gasped in surprise before falling down to the ground with her arms wrapped around her stomach and breathed heavily. " H..How?."
" You were running too slow, with that speed you would easily be killed by the Shinigami at the soul society," I said with a hard voice and stared down at her.
" If you want to save Rukia you need to work on your speed."
Tala breathed heavily and was going to say something, but was interrupted by a big explosion that happened where Ichigo and Ururu where. She turned her attention to where the explosion came from.
" What was that?."
" That would be Ururu who give Ichigo a hard time," I said and pulled her up on her feet. "Let's try again."
Hours later
" Come on Tala you almost got it.' I said with a happy tone while Tala was laying on the ground with her face in the ground, covered in bruises and dirt. For 4 hours straight she had tried to attack me with no avail. But the positive side was that she had got a little faster, but she was still too slow.
" Come on, Tala. You doing progress."
She groaned and slowly tried to push herself up from the ground.
" I wonder if Ichigo has a hard time as i do."
"Hm." I turned to the direction Ichigo and Ururu were, and shrugged my shoulder, and turned back to her. " Don't think about him right now come on let's try again."
She sighs heavily and tried to run at me with a much faster speed and tried to hit me, but she was still too slow to even touch me. I jumped up in the air and landed right on top of her and made her fall back on the ground with her face first, with me standing on her.
" Ouch," I heard her mumble against the ground before I walked off her, and looked at her with sad eyes. Doing all this made my heart hurt every time I punched her or hurt her. But I have to be this hard so she could get stronger in just a few days.

I groaned while slowly pushing myself up while glaring at my dad. Who stared down at me with hard eyes, and I couldn't help to growl in annoyance. For hours now have I tried to attack him, and every time he easily docked it and attack me with so much power that I thought my whole body was going to break in million pieces. But this time was so humiliated when he just jumped up in the air and landed on me so hard, that I made a big hole that was the shape of my body. I scratched the ground with my long nails, while I thought about how much I wanted to be stronger.
Strong enough to defeat dad, who looked like he was playing with me while I trying with everything I got, strong enough to save Rukia.

I stared at Tala who sat on the ground with hard eyes on me, while a strong restsu appeared from her and made everything around us shake violently.
Even I could feel the heavy weight of it pushing me down, and it almost took everything I had to stand up. But I couldn't help to smile while watching Tala stand up, with her white hair, wolf ears and tails were glowing strongly.
" Interesting," I said excited and tighten my hand around my walking stick and waited for her to run at me. But before I realize what happened she was right in front of me she just appeared like magic. My eyes widen, and I stared at her in amaze while I saw her raising one of her hands in the air, and a sword appeared in her hand.
