This was really fun to write, i always wanted to share my idea of this situation to you :D
As far as i could remember , i never walked such a long way.
When we saw the first buildings from seireitei, all made of white stones and shimmering in the sunset, we sighed.
Everybody in our small group was tired and sweaty and we all just wanted to finally get to this test and then in a bed.
All of us felt like it, except one person : Grimmjow.
I sighed while walking through the labyrinth : "Man, i hope you are right with this the test, i don't have much energy left to prove myself".
He grinned at me while taking the next way left and said : "Just trust me, you're all going to make it. Ah, we're almost there, look this.."
" White building ?" I interrupted with a low voice. I got a evil look from him,which almost let me flinch. "Just follow me" he said a little bit annoyed. He stopped at the door. "You must go alone" and with this words, he dissappeard. Wow..How Fast I thought while entering.
We entered the building and quickly the door behind ous got closed. Anni said quietly : "Mari, i hope this Grimmjow really knows of what he's talking about"
"Let's go" i answered and headed slowly in the next room.
I was excited and, at the same time, afraid. What would happen if i couldn't pass the test, and the others could? I would be alone and...
No,i make this, im going to trust him.
We came to the middle of the room. Behind a desk a man was sitting on the floor with a strict look. He had white hair and over his Kimono he wore a white coat, a thin mustache over his mouth let him look even stricter.
"Names" he said and looked in our way.
"I'm Mari" i said quickly."I'm Paul" , " And I'm Anni" i heard from behind me. He wrote our names on a piece of paper. He looked at us and said :"Of course you three are here, your reiatsu is very pronounced." I wanted to ask what he meant, but i had no time to do that.
The man stood up and said : "Follow me please, i will take you to your test" He left very fast and we followed.
We came into a corridor with many doors, when we passed the first door he stopped and said :
"One of you, please go in there" Anni moved and grabbed the doorknob ,opened it and before she could close it, i whispered "Good luck". The door closed.
We continued walking , the second door came. This time it was Paul who get in there and he said : " We are going to kick ass". He blinked at me and closed the door.
My door came near.
We stopped.
I opened the door and went into the slightly dark room. I blinked a few times because my eyes were unable to see something. When i could finally see some details i stared , again , in a pair of blue eyes. "You're kidding me right? You are going to test me?" i asked with a doubting expression. He giggled. " It is really just a fortuity,it's random, in every room is somewhere else. None of you could have get me , but you are lucky enough" he blinked at me and smiled. "Of course I am, but let's start, i'm getting nervous"
"Ok ok, sit down in front of me, you have to do exactly what i tell you. Understand?" I sat down and nodded.
"So, now calm down and breath slowly and control your breath. Take deep ones and open your mind" I closed my eyes and listened to mine and his breath,which were in a different rythm. His sound of breathing calmed me down even more.
I winked through my right eye to see, if he was doing the same thing,and really, he did.
It was so quiet, that i could hear my heart beating.
"Now search for your source of energy, which is inside of your soul. You can find it"
I slowly began to sift trough my head, all my thoughts and feelings disappeared, just the urge to find the source was left.
I didn't know how much time passed. Minutes..Hours. I just searched for it.
.
.
I got nervous.
I searched even harder.
.
A thought came up to my mind.
My heart started racing.
What if i really couldn't find it? What if in reality i have no abilities to become a shinigami?
My heart started pounding harder and faster. I could hear the pounding loud in my head and i was sure that Grimmjow could hear it, too.
"Look at me" he broke the silence with this little words.
I opened my eyes and stared in his.
He grabbed my shoulders and said with full confidence : " You will find it , take your time."
He made a pause while looking at me.
"Try again"
I took a deep breath and closed my eyes an other time.
His hands felt warm on my shoulders, they gave me confidence and i didn't feel so much desperate like before.
I listened into me.
Suddenly i felt something in me,a circel of energy floating around. I felt that i had to get into that circle.
I tried it.
But the energy easily threw me back.
I had to get in there.
I tried again. It was like i would run against a storm.
I came nearer and nearer to the center.
I fought against the energy.
Then i finally reached the center.
And I found me standing in a desert.
A windgust blew sand towards me and i had to cover my face with an arm.
I looked around. Nothing was there except from tons of sand an sometimes white rocks which stood just somewehere in the nowhere.
I sighed.
"Where the hell am i?!"
"Inside of your soul" a female voice answered.
I turned around quickly, to find out where this voice came from.
I lifted my arm to protect my eyes from the brightness.
I winked over my arm to see something.
In front of me on a white rock sat a strange woman.
She wore an armor out of reflecting glass.
Not everything was covered by the armor,her arms and legs were nearly naked, except of her shous and some bracelets which adorned her arms.
Her black hair waved slowly in the wind while she stared at me with her white eyes.
"Wh-Who are you?"
"I'm a part of you" she answered with the same voice like i heard before.
"You can turn down your arm" she said and i felt her hand softly pushing down my arm. The brightness was gone.
I looked in her face and gasped.
She was really beautiful, like an essential which don't belong here in this desert.
When I regained my language i said :
"You know..ehm..i still don't know who you are"
She smiled softly and leaded me to the rock on which she had just sat.
"I'm your ZanpakutÅ. I'm your weapon against your enemys,i'm a part of your personality and a part of your power" she said still smiling.
"You are a weapon?" i doubted.
"Yes, I am." she noticed that i felt a little bit uneasy.
She nugded me in the side."I'm happy, i can finally meet you"
Her smile was infectious.I grinned back at her.
"You will learn about me and how to release my real can talk to me any time you want,you just have to enter your soul"she explained to me.
My soul hm? I looked around,there was still sand and some rocks,but nothing special.
"Why is my soul a desert? I'm a little bit disappointed."
She looked around like i did a few seconds ago.
"You see,there's more than sand. Under the sand are you memories,feelings,dreams and you will all see them."
"Oh,that sounds a lot better" I laughed.
She patted me on the head.
"Time to go"she said.
I opened my eyes and saw the ceiling of the room,which i entered for the examination.
I was on my back and saw Grimmjows face.
He leaned over me and smiled.
"See. I knew you would make it"
I felt something lying in my right hand, and i lifted my arm to see it.
It was a sword.
"I really made it" i said happily.
"Sleep now, it's normal that you are tired now" he said,but i couldn't hear the whole sentence, i was already asleep.
