Thank you Kris Awesomeness, Sanaa11 and that guest for your reviews. It motivates me to update faster. ^^

-Several hours later-

Tōshirō and Ash walked from the Urahara's shop at twilight, just as the sun was hiding behind the horizon. It had been a long, productive day but they somehow weren't tired at all. They actually felt more revitalized, stronger and faster. It felt amazing.

Their home had not been a far walk away but the boys tended to drift off into thought and not pay attention to their surroundings. Thankfully they only went a block past their home before they caught themselves.

"Shirō. I feel like there is something that Urahara-san and Yoruichi-san aren't telling us." Ash said, finally breaking their comfortable silence.

"Hm. I think so to, why else would they train us for no apparent reason? They don't seem genuinely concerned for our wellbeing." Tōshirō responded with a yawn.

"Damn. We have school tomorrow." Ash said was a disgusted tone. Tōshirō visibly paled then shook his head slowly.

"I completely forgot we went there." He said honestly. "I don't blame you. From discovering that we have amazing powers, and having to deal with hollows….it's hard to remember what is the value of x when 2x + 5= 15." Tōshirō chuckled at that then they both lapsed back into silence.

It had been a very tiring month for the 15 year old brothers. They made friends with a strawberry of death, they met someone named Rukia, who seemed very uncomfortable around them, and Tōshirō noticed that their friendship with the Kurōsaki sisters had been slowly progressing further and further. Not that he'd nor Ash really would mind.

-The next day-

Today had been as uneventful but now was Ash's favorite class: P.E.

Despite being as lazy as a sloth that just ate a buffet, Ash still liked P.E cause he could just watch Tōshirō own everyone in dodgeball and Karin own everyone in Soccer. Brought him some joy to see his brother and friend over achieve in the sports, not that he would ever show it. Yuzu never really participated in any sport, she just sat next to Ash and watch Tōshirō and Karin compete. Not the Ash disliked the idea.

The red eyed teen excused himself to the bathroom, and it seems that he was being followed by four people. Ash got done washing his hands when Kagawa and his group entered the bathroom with a malicious grin plastered on his face. "I told you I'd get you back. Get him."

Ash just stared emotionlessly at the boys beginning to surround him and thought to himself. 'Idiots..' The first boy jumped at Kita with a fist aimed t his face, but Ash just mentally smirked. He caught the boy's wrist and used his momentum to slam him into the wall. A second member of Kagawa's crew grabbed Ash's arm in an attempt to restrain him but that did not go as planned.

The raven haired teen simply used his superior strength to pull the bully closer to him. He gave the teen a knee to the stomach causing him to double over and fall. Those two exchanges happened in the space of two seconds, unintentionally showcasing Ash's amazing reflexes. Before Kagawa had fully realized what happened, two of his best fighters had fallen.

"Fuck you KITA!" The rotund teen said as more boys crowded into the spacious bathroom. Everyone in the gym had heard the profanity and turned towards the bathroom just as a random boy flew threw the door. Tōshirō immediately spotted Ash through the crowd of boys and rushed to his aid. Even though he knew he didn't really need it.

-Principle's Office-

"Sixteen boys. Four broken noses. Three broken wrists. Two boys with cracked ribs. Five black eyes. And two concussions." The principal said with exasperated sigh. "Look boys, what you did today was inexcusable. I'm afraid that you two are suspended for two weeks."

Both Tōshirō and Ash's eyes widen but just as Tōshirō was about to protest, the principal angrily stopped him. "Leave my office! Now!"

Swallowing his argument, Tōshirō and Ash angrily stormed out of the office to quickly retrieve their stuff from home room, but Karin and Yuzu had been waiting outside with their things just in case things got bad. "Thanks." Ash said as he took his book bag from Yuzu.

"What happened?" Karin said with concern.

The two brothers shared a look and sighed in perfect unison. "We got suspended for two weeks." Ash braced himself for an overreaction. He was not disappointed.

"WHAT?! They can't do that! You didn't do anything!" Karin roared, with a hostile aura surrounding her. Tōshirō wisely took a step back and sweat-dropped lightly. Ash did the manly thing and his behind Yuzu .

"Karin calm down." Tōshirō said as soothingly as he could have. He didn't expect for the girl to actually calm down but surprisingly she did.

"Fine." She said with a low growl. "When do you have to leave?"

"Right now actually." Ash spoke from behind his quiet friend. "We'll probably go to your house at some point." Kita confirmed before he and Hitsugaya said their goodbyes and walked out the school.

-An Hour later-

The two teenagers figured that they should probably care that they just crippled sixteen people in a fight that lasted two minutes but honestly didn't. They were more focused on that fact that this suspension gave them time to train with Urahara. "Oi Shirō. What do we do once we control our spiritual power?" Ash asked as the shop came into view.

"Don't know." Tōshirō replied casually with a shrug.

-One week later-

It didn't take long for the boys to fall into a daily routine. It had went like this: wake up, brush teeth, shower, head to Urahara's shop and train until sundown, head to Ichigo's house and stay there with the strawberry, Rukia (whom had developed a decent bond between us and Ichigo) and the Kurōsaki twins, then finally head home at about 10 pm. Then repeat the cycle the next day.

Their friendship with Karin and Yuzu had developed quite a bit as time grew and they noticed. All the contact, all the ways to get closer, all the irregular breathing, all the quickening heartbeats (mainly Tōshirō's heart) and all the stares. It was nice to see the girls daily to say the least.

The training had gotten more and more intense since day one. Since learning what shinigami are, it seemed that Urahara and Yoruichi had stopped holding back. Urahara reluctantly explained what a zanpakuto was and how to obtain one. The occasional hollow would rear its ugly head into view, only to be taken down by either Ichigo, Ash or Tōshirō.

They finally reached the point the Urahara had set for them. This was easily noticeable when Tōshirō suddenly started to glow white in a training session with Kisuke and sent him threw a wall. Kisuke mentality noted the extreme waves of cold wafting off the boy and just deduced that his reiatsu and zanpakuto is ice based.. Ash had also reached this point when a black aura with a white outline surrounded him one day.

Yoruichi was extremely surprised that his spiritual pressure was indeed black. In all her years of living she had every other color but black and it was accompanied by heat. Extreme heat. So extreme that the ground he was standing on at the time had been burned to ashes. Ironically funny indeed.

Now sitting next to Ash in the middle of Urahara's large training room, Tōshirō cleared his mind and tried to do as he was told. "Now boys. Just picture yourselves sitting in the middle of an endless ocean, notice how the water just keeps flowing away from you. Now I want you to envision that all the water is slowly surrounding you like you're its center." Yoruichi said in a hushed voice as she also sat cross legged next to Ash and Tōshirō.

Urahara expected that it would take more than a day for them to perfect the art of suppressing one's true power but it seemed that he was wrong once again with the pair. The boys were incredible on multiple levels. Having already heard their zanpakuto spirits , albeit barely and having amazing spiritual control was truly baffling to Kisuke. Ichigo may have been a physical monster but these guys were just….wow.

Suddenly the power surrounding Tōshirō and Ash had disappeared completely, almost un-sensible to even a captain level shinigami. The boys were truly prodigious. No doubt about that.

Only one more step before the real training can commence. "Congratulations boys. You've learned how to suppress your power!" Urahara said happily. "But there is still much to do." His words cost both brothers to raise a brow.

Yoruichi put a glove one with the symbol of a skull surrounded by blue flame. Urahara's cane had the same insignia on it and they both "pushed" the boys. While Kisuke only gently prodded Tōshirō's chest, Yoruichi slapped Ash right on the cheek for no apparent reason. Ash yelped and rubbed his cheek but then felt…..weird.

"Um Shirō…." He began but when he faced Tōshirō, his eyes widened heavily. There were two….of him connected by some kind of chain. He hesitated in looking down but did anyway…

"What the hell did you do to us Urahara?!" Tōshirō demanded angrily. "Easy Hitsugaya-kun. We just turned you two into spirits." Before anyone could question him further, he sliced both chains in half with one brisk movement. Almost instantly it started to deteriorate.

"What will happen once it runs out?" Ash asked somehow remaining calm on the surface.

"You'll turn into hollows and we'll have to kill you." This was the first time Ash had seem Urahara serious. "Normally it'll take three days but I coat my sword in a special liquid to make it do so in three minutes."

Both boys were naturally calm and level-headed and so never really panicked for anything normal. This was not normal. Tōshirō looked like he was about to kill Urahara and everything he stood for and Ash's anger was directed at the fact that Kisuke had took their soul out of their bodies and would kill them if they didn't find a solution for the problem he caused.

They completely forgot they they were suppressing their reiatsu and all the raw spiritual pressure came to the surface. Tōshirō had begun to glow white just as his eyes, at the same moment Ash had the black waves of power wafting off his body. They kept raising their reiatsu in rage until the chains completely disappeared.

A sudden flash of light appeared in the room directly around the two enraged brothers, then suddenly it went out leaving behind a picturesque sight. Tōshirō stood proud and tall with a long sword in his right hand. It's hilt had been shaped like a four pointed star. The white haired teen looked at the sword in satisfaction and smirked. "Hyōrinmaru." He whispered.

Ash was down on one knee with the tip of his sword in the ground as if to support him. His sword was long, black and sleek with its hilt being shaped like a diamond. "Kurai Honō.." He whispered with a rare smile. Both boys were in traditional shinigami attire; which seem to suit them more than normal clothes.

A/N: Well Zanpakuto's are revealed. I skipped the whole entering the inner world thing because I'll use that elsewhere… But anyway I've never said Tōshirō and Ash's height in comparison. Ichigo is 5'9, Tōshirō and Ash are 5'6 and Karin and Yuzu are 5'2. Also Ash and Tōshirō's zanpakuto are sealed because they can control their reiatsu unlike Ichigo's whose sword is always in shikai. And lastly….. Ash looks like Ggio Vega and his hair is like Dangai Ichigo's.
