After it was found out what Aizen was after and how long it would take, there was a scramble to train. Everyone was working hard to increase their strength, including the Captains.

Moria knew that she needed to be stronger as well . . . and there was one she knew could and would help her.

"Every zanpaku-tô is different," Komamura said, "I can try to help."

"Thank you Sajin," Moria said with a smile, "When can we start?"

Komamura chucked, they were in their room together, and sat down. He motioned for her to sit as well and she did.

"You know the name of your zanpaku-tô correct?" Komamura asked.

"Yes," Moria said then stated the name of her blade.

Komamura nodded and then said, "Now you need to externalize the spirit of your zanpaku-tô. It can take a while but, I believe that you can do it in this short time. You might not be able to achieve bankai but it will increase your spiritual pressure by quite a bit."

Moria nodded, closing her eyes. She felt Komamura touch her arms and his forehead brushed against hers. They sat like that for a while, sensing each other's energy.

She listened to her zanpaku-tô and waited.

I'm not coming out!

Yes you are, Moria thought, you don't look as odd as you think.

Yes I do!

No you don't. I think you look perfect.

Of course you do. I'm a part of your soul.

Moria couldn't think of a comeback.

I want to be alone with you to do this.

But-

NO BUTS!

Moria sighed sadly.

"Don't give in to demands," Komamura mumbled, taking her hands.

Don't give into demands my ass. How about this, Tenken and I will start talking about all sorts of things and get you two so embarrassed you have to be in separate rooms.

I could embarrass you as well. I saw what you were doing in Tenken's direction the other day. Bow chika wow wow.

You wouldn't.

I would.

Truce?

Truce.

Doesn't mean that Tenken won't.

I'm sure Sajin has a way to deter it.

At that moment Komamura chose to mutter, "Oh brother."

"What?" Moria asked, opening one eye to look at her fiancé.

Komamura was grinning, "It is at this moment Tenken has chosen to go on a rant. He does this every now and then, usually when I've had too much coffee or sake. I wonder what set him off this time."

Sexual abstinence?

Shut it, Moria thought and then said, "Who knows?"

It is sexual abstinence, I know it.

I said shut it.

Say it with me . . . sex-u-al ab-sti-nence.

"Are you alright?" Komamura asked.

"I'm gonna hurt her," Moria mumbled.

"Who?"

Moria simply pointed at her zanpaku-tô.

"Trying to embarrass you to death is she?"

"No," Moria chuckled, "Killing me would be a form of suicide on her part."

Komamura chuckled and then sighed, "We aren't going to get any further on training today I guess. Tenken won't let me train when he is in this kind of mood."

"I think they both must be in that kind of mood," Moria said and placed her zanpaku-tô on the stand in the room after Komamura had placed his.

Komamura nodded and then yawned, "Well let's get some sleep; we have a busy day tomorrow."

"Hopefully they won't be in that mood still," Moria mumbled before following Komamura's advice.
