Urahara had first been annoyed when the group had barged into his lab while he was in the middle of whatever sciencey-shit he was doing, but after Yoruichi and Ichigo had babbled something about Kana's blood and Shinigami and 'scary' and 'just like him' he had perked right up. She had strained her ears to try to get a name but they had talked over each other so much and she had been distracted by being strapped down to the table by Tessai to get a name. She remained quiet but scowling as Tessai was given sticky things to connect to her temple and pulse points, and needles to put in her arms.

"Is this going to take very long?"

"Not at all. I have a registry of all the reiatsu signatures in the Seireitei so it should only take a few moments to cross section your's with the system and find any relatives."

"Oh. Well that's cool then. What about that Godai shit? Is that gonna be much longer?" She cut off with a gasp as a wave of something cool pulsed into her from the sticky shit.

"If left to concentrate, I should have your answers by this evening." It was mostly hard to hear him over the clacking of his keys but she got the general idea.

"Alright well hurry up then." She could see the flashing of lights out of the corner of her eye as Urahara, Yoruichi and Ichigo all stared at the giant screen. Something whirred in the background and then her face was on one side of the screen as other faces flashed by on the other screen. In the middle there was what looked to be a DNA thread and as people flew by sections clicked in, flashed red, and flew back out. Finally there was a loud 'ding' as a face locked into place, and the DNA thread flashed green with the number's 13.8% overhead. Tessai let out an 'oh my', Yoruichi dropped to the floor laughing, and Ichigo was left standing stock still-blocking her view of course.

"Alright, Tessai get me the fuck outta here. I gotta see this shit." The large man moved quickly to unbind her, and Kana rubbed at her arm as she approached the screen with the others, grinned widely at Ichigo's wide-eyed pale face. She snorted as she looked at the screen, shaking her head.

"Who the fuck is this ugly brute?" Yoruichi laughed louder at her feet and Ichigo 'eep'ed beside her.

"That is Kenpachi Zaraki. Captain of the 11th Division."

"Zenpachi? Oi, Ichigo, isn't he the one that almost killed ya'?" Instead of Ichigo answering Yoruichi did as she stood, wiping the tears from her eyes and clutching at her side.

"I-It sure is! This is amazing, you're just like him!"

"I know I'm not that much of a looker but I sure as fuck am not that ugly."

"Alright. I'm going home." Ichigo was quick to leave and Kana shook her head as she scowled up at another face scowling down at her.

"Would you like to know more about him?" Urahara asked, fingers hovering over his keyboard and smiling under his hat at her.

"Nah. Just let me know the other Godai shit whenever ya figure it out. C'mon, Yoruichi, we're gonna go train." Kana drug Yoruichi out by the arm, Urahara's typing picking back up as the door closed behind them.

"I'm always up for training. What do you want to focus on today?" Yoruichi said with a grin as she threw an arm around Kana's shoulder, leaving the taller girl to hold her around the waist before her arm got caught awkwardly.

"I think I've decided on what animal I want to become."


"WHY IS THIS SO HARD!?" Kana bellowed, spinning on the spot and driving her heel into a boulder that split in half under the assault of her foot and spiritual pressure.

"Probably because you keep getting distracted." Yoruichi purred mockingly from her perch above her, waving her paw lazily as Kana growled at her.

"Fuckin' fix it then, Sensei." Kana's voice was absolutely dripping with sarcasm before she exhaled slowly and tried to go back to shaping her reiatsu.

'Does this look right? How will I know when it's shaped right? Is this fine now? no wait that ear feels longer,'

"You're thinking too hard again." Yoruichi's voice broke through her thoughts and Kana swore, dropping to her knees and then flopping to her back.

"It's fuckin' useless."

"That's because you're thinking about thinking! It's supposed to just be instinct."

"Well 'supposed to be' and 'are' are two different things." Kana sighed and closed her eyes, flaring her reiatsu outwards and then working on shaping it again.

"I was taught how to do this by my grandmother and didn't have any issues with it. No one in my family ever did but before learning this we had spent decades learning to be one with our reiatsu."

Kana hummed as Yoruichi talked, only half-focusing as she molded her reiatsu.

"Become one? Isn't your reiatsu...y'know...already one with you?"

"Well yes and no. Your reiatsu is uniquely yours, though it shares trace amounts with relatives-" Kana's eye twitched as Yoruichi chuckled.

"But in order to fully control your reiatsu you have to harmonize with it."

"Hmm...Oh, like when I summon Arashi?" It was quiet for a second before she heard Yoruichi hop down and move to sit by her head.

"What do you mean?"

"Y'know. When I summon Arashi I just kinda...reach my reiatsu inside and he reaches out and then our reiatsu just kinda melds together."

"...Interesting..." Yourichi moved away mumbling to herself but Kana was distracted with her reiatsu, pulling it inwards and brushing against Arashi.

'Yes?' The simple word rumbled both in her head and in her chest and she smiled crookedly.

'Can you help me take shape?'

'...I don't see why I couldn't. Open your mind to me and we'll see what we can do together.' Kana didn't notice Yoruichi's wide eyed look from across the room as Kana cackled to herself, her reiatsu changing as it melded with Arashi before flaring out with a crack, quickly forming the shape Kana had been struggling with hours to get.

'You know damn well that together we'll be able to do anything we want.' Kana's smile grew to a wicked smirk as she stood, face going blank as she concentrated on pulling her reiatsu in without breaking form. There was that feeling of completion again, that 'click' as things aligned just right inside before she tugged and felt her body shifting uncomfortably. There was a strange thrumming ache and she closed her eyes to avoid the strange view until her body felt right again.
