Hey there everyone and welcome to the eighth Chapter! I thank everyone who reviewed last chapter and I'm sorry for the long update. I spent the last couple weeks of summer getting stuff for school and getting used to the new school year.

Chapter Eight: Bending the Earth
"Congratulations on passing the Academy, I hope all of you become great shinigami!" The headmaster said to the assemble sixth years all of whom was smiling excluding two.
Yukari was staring at the spot where Kusaka is supposed to be, wondering where he's disappeared to and if he still alive and Toshiro who was staring at the spot with guilt eating him. It have been several months after Kusaka's death and Toshiro still haven't gather the courage to tell her what happened to him so he had no choice but to lie to her.
"Please follow the shinigami to receive your robes and assigned Division." All the new recruits followed a male and female shinigami, depending which gender you are, to the changing rooms.
Toshiro came out wearing a smaller than average shinigami robe and a folded slip of paper in his hands which holds the division he's assigned to. When he opened it, to say that he was surprised was an understatement.
With Yoruichi
The purple hair women was currently training with her division member to work out her anger. Although training can't describe what was happening, more like destroying would be the more accurate word.
Delivering a rib shaking hit to another division member that sent him into a wall, she yelled, "Next!"
"Uh? Yoruichi-sama?" Turning around, she saw her loyal bodyguard Soifon, who was taking a break from watching Toshiro, standing behind her and flinch when she met her gaze. " Uh besides me, there is no one left."
True to her word, all around the training field laid half of the Second Division groaning in pain with the other half already in the Fourth Division. Looking at her fallen division members, she sighed and rubbed the back of her head. "I guess I went a bit overboard."
'A bit?' Soifon thought and decided to ask. "Yoruichi-sama why are you mad?" She flinched again as Yoruichi met her eyes who sighed and patted her head.
"I'll tell you later Soifon but for now, can you get the Fourth Division here? I need to fill out the paperwork on why my entire Division is injured." The raven hair shinigami nodded her head and disappeared in a Shunpo and Yoruichi went to her office, preparing to fill out the amount of paperwork she left in there to train.
As she filled out the dreaded paperwork, she thought back on what happened yesterday during the Captain's Meeting.
Last Captain's Meeting
"We will now discuss the placement of Shihoin Toshiro." The Captain Commander said to the assembled captains. The captains stood ready but in truth, a good deal of them were sleeping or trying hard to stay awake.
Captain Kyoraku had his hat over his eyes and snoring gently, Yoruichi had perfected the art of sleeping with her eyes open, Ginrei wasn't even trying to bother to hide the fact that he was sleeping but due to his old age, he got away with it and Unohana let out a gentle yawn. On the other side, Captain Aikawa's sunglasses concealed the fact that his eyes were closed, Captain Rose, a new captain, was trying hard to stay awake and Kensei and Isshin was sleeping right in front of everyone, uncaring of the punishment they would receive after the meeting, and finally Ukitake was resting in his division after an attack from his illness.
The moment he said that, however, they all snapped awake and paid attention. Which Division Toshiro would be placed in was a popular topic to which they would argue about it for hours until Yamamoto told them that the topic would be postponed until he finally graduates.
"Each Captain that wishes to take him into your division, state your argument now."
The first one up was Yoruichi. "Toshiro's Hakuda and Hohō are great for his age and in my Division, they will only improve and he also shows great skill in stealth."
"I think Toshiro will be a good addition to my Division," Kyoraku said, tipping his hat up so everyone could see his eyes. "Besides my lieutenant is very fond of him. She says that he reminds of a fluffy kitten."
"Toshiro-san will be best suited for my Division," Ginrei spoke up. "Him and my son knows all of each other moves thus they would be best for missions since they already know each other's strength and weaknesses."
Captain-Commander Yamamoto stared at the arguing captains and sighed. This was exactly why he postponed this subject because they would all argue for which Division would be best suited for Toshiro and was about to slam his cane down when suddenly.
*HONK!*
Everyone grabbed there ears as a loud sound rang out and turned to the source of the noise. It was none other than Isshin holding an air horn in the air with Kensei, who was the closest to him, looking about he was going to fall over.
He grinned and pulled out two cotton balls from his ears. "I knew this air horn would come in handy today!" Putting it back into his sleeves, his expression turned serious.
"Now I believe Toshiro should be assigned into my Division." Before anyone could say otherwise, he held up his hand to stop them from speaking. "I know, why my Division? Well I don't think we all should forget which Division the wielder of Hyōrinmaru was captain of?"
True no one could forget the last Captain of the Tenth Division who died saving half of her Division from a huge hollow ambush.
"Also the Tenth is well known for having prodigy in it and training them to become great Shinigami so who is too deny that Toshiro isn't best suited for the Tenth?"
No one brought up an argument mostly because that they knew that he was right. Isshin may be a goofball and a bit of an idiot but he had his moments.
With no one speaking up against him, Yamamoto decided to make it final. "Since no one is speaking up, I believe was should vote on Toshiro's placement. Who agrees that he should be in the Tenth Division?"
Everyone agreed, with Yoruichi being the last and most reluctant to do so, and so Toshiro was now official part of the Tenth.
Flashback End
Still she had to admit that Isshin did make a good argument but that didn't stop her from kicking him in the balls once the meeting was over.
With Toshiro
Toshiro was currently standing along side with the new recruits in the Tenth Division courtyard. It came a bit of a surprise when he saw his assigned Division since he thought that his Kaa-chan would take him into her Division.
"Hello everyone! Its great to see some many new faces to the Tenth!" Isshin greeted happily as he walked forward to the rows of recruits. "Now for those of you who doesn't know who I am, my name is Isshin of the Tenth Division. I won't say my last name because I want all of you to refer to me as either Isshin or Dad okay?"
He got some confused 'yes sirs' from the recruits while Toshiro just sighed. He was already used to Isshin's crazy behavior and knew that treated his division like family.
"Okay! I'm sure you already have your keys to your rooms so why don't all of you rest and relax because tomorrow your all going to start training." Without another word, most of the recruits went to there rooms to rest while some decided to walk around the division with Toshiro being in the latter.
As he walked around, Isshin join in step beside him. "So Toshiro, you glad to be out of the Academy?"
"I guess." Toshiro said not looking at his uncle making Isshin sigh mentally. Ever since Kusaka's death, Toshiro would rarely smile now toward most people.
"Listen Toshiro, you can't mop about Kusaka's death," Toshiro's eyes snapped to his and, before he could say anything, Isshin held up a hand. "Your Kaa-chan told me and some others, shes the Second Division and Onmitsukido captain, she could make someone disappear if she wanted to. Anyways you can't get better if you don't let yourself better."
Looking down at Toshiro, he saw that he was avoiding his eyes. "Listen I know it hurts to lose a friend, even more so to be part of the reason he was lost in the first place but tell me, would Kusaka want you brooding like this forever?"
Toshiro looked at Isshin and said, "No."
"Then don't!" He slapped Toshiro on the back that almost sent him falling over. "Now enjoy life, get a girl, have some kids, all that stuff." He left, leaving Toshiro with blushing cheeks who simply turned around to find his room.
"Hes right you know." A familiar voice said from within Toshiro's Inner World. "You won't get better if you don't allow yourself to get better. You need to move on Toshiro. You can't blame yourself for what has happen."
'I'm not blaming myself Hyōrinmaru, I just can't forgive myself for what happened.'
"Then try and you need to tell Yukari what has happen to Kusaka and before you ask another question, tell me would you want her to spend the rest of her life, wondering what happened to him or would you rather tell her the truth at the cost of hurting her?"
Toshiro didn't answer, mostly because he didn't have one nor would he have one in the months to come.
Six Months Later
Toshiro sighed as he completed the paperwork that Isshin had 'forgotten' to fix. Its been six months since he graduated and he was now the fifth seat of the Tenth Division. Yukari was accepted into the Kido Corps and he haven't heard from her since and Toph, due to her parents' influence, had graduated early and was now in the Eleventh Division.
He stood up from the sofa and moved to the door, only to move to the side as it was kick open. "Surprise attack!" Isshin came in yelling as Toshiro stuck out a foot that tripped him and sent him into the sofa, falling over to the front. Isshin jumped right back up and yelled at Toshiro's retreating back.
"Great counter Toshiro! Prepare for something different tomorrow!"
Said boy rubbed his forehead and muttered. "Everyday with him." True to his word, ever since he joined the Tenth Isshin would pop out of nowhere to attack him. At breakfast, delivering paperwork, even in the shower one time! Although he had to admit, it did keep him on his toes but it was starting to get annoying. Suddenly he felt someone ruffle his hair and knew that only three people could do that without having there arms broken and two of them were somewhere else.
"Hi Soifon-Nēchan ." Soifon smiled as she braced her little brother figure in a hug. "Hi Shiro-chan, is everything alright?" She was normally very cold and emotionless toward almost everyone beside Yoruichi and Toshiro(and Kisuke but that just dislike) and if anyone called both of them something she didn't like, she would break bones and make people cry.
Toshiro sighed and smiled a little. "I'm just tired Nēchan, I think I'll go to sleep early tonight." Soifon just nodded and patted his head before going to deliver a message from Yoruichi-sama to Isshin but she couldn't help but think how sad Toshiro looked now a days. In her mind, he was too young to be a shinigami and also had a old but wise look on his face from time to time, like he was thinking about something important.
Although even she had to admit that he was strong and getting stronger each day.
The Next Day
Toshiro yawned as he got up from his bed and went to the bathroom to brush his teeth. Once he opened the door, he ducked under a swing and kicked Isshin in the balls, causing him to fall to the ground.
"G-good shot Toshiro." Isshin said with his voice in a high pitch as Toshiro stepped over him and into the bathroom. He suddenly jumped up and ran toward Toshiro, however, he didn't see the bar of soap that Toshiro had 'accidentally' dropped into his path, making him slip and crash into the wall and fall backwards from pain. Before he could get up, Toshiro stepped on his face and used it as a stool so he could see himself in the mirror as he brushed his teeth. Once he was done, he switched the lights off and closed the door just as Isshin tried to kick him and instead kicked the door and fell to the ground.
'Just another day.' Toshiro thought as he changed into his uniform and went outside to do his usual work. After going several feet, he heard someone yell. "Wait Toshiro!" He turned to see Isshin, who had a bloody nose, ran up to him. "I forgot to mention that you have a mission in the World of the Living today."
Raising an eyebrow, he asked. "You attack me and then you tell me this? I feel like I should hit you again." Before he did, Isshin's face suddenly met the ground as Toshiro's Kaa-chan appeared behind him, her fist slightly smoking.
"No need for that. Anyways there was an earthquake in the World of the Living and it killed a large amount of souls so the Captain-Commander wants to send some more shinigami to assists the ones already there in case more hollows show up than they can handle."
He nodded his head. "Whose leading the mission?" Yoruichi smiled and patted her son on the head. "You are! My little Shiro-chan!"
"Huh?" Isshin jumped back to his feet and patted his back. "You were chosen to lead this mission because you were seen fit to."
"Don't worry Shiro-chan, you'll do fine." Yoruichi patted his hair down again, making him slightly pout. "Anyways you might want to go now."
"Why? When I'm supposes to meet the team?"
Isshin checked a fake watch on his left wrist. "Oh about five minutes ago at 13th Division." Toshiro had a shocked look on his face before he disappeared in a Shunpo. "Wow he didn't even bother to hit-" He was cut off when his face met the ground after Yoruichi punched him in the back of the head.
With Toshiro
Appearing right in front of his group of 18, he quickly said, "I'm sorry for being late, I was caught up with something." The group of older, and taller, shinigami looked in surprise and bewilderment. He was supposed to be there leader for this mission? A child? Maybe he would do well.
"Hey Icepop!" An unexpected slap on the back sent him into the ground and the group sweatdrop at the display. Yeah if hollows showed up, they were screwed.
Getting back up and dusting himself off, he turned to Toph who, besides a bit taller than him now and had a sword attached to her side, haven't changed at all and had a smirk on her face. "Why must you do that?"
The dark hair girl shrugged her shoulders. "Hey I haven't see you in months so how else am I supposed to see if you remember me?"
"You can't even see!" A cough caught both of there attention and they turned to the group who was watching them with odd looks. Mentally giving himself a facepalm, Toshiro said, "Anyways my name is Shihoin Toshiro, Fifth Seat of the Tenth Division and I'll be your assigned leader for this mission."
"Why is a kid like you going to lead this mission?" A tall and rough looking guy with brown hair and onyx color eyes said, walking up to the front. Toshiro raised an eyebrow and Toph lost her smirk.
Toph was about to punch him when Toshiro held up a hand and, seeing through her unique ability, stopped. "Who are you?"
"Tenth Seat Hiroto Daiki of the Third Division and I refuse to take orders from a pint size brat like you."
Keeping a calm expression, he said. "You can leave if you want but I will warn you right now, insubordinate will result in you being put in Ujimushi no Su(1) for several months." At this, Daiki began to sweat nervously at the chance at being stuck in there and decided to stay quiet.
Nodding at his silence, he addressed the rest of the group. "Now I assumed that you all know our mission so pick your partners and I'll assign you all to your posts once we get there." Everyone then stepped through the gates while Toph and Toshiro walked in the back.
Once everyone was in, Toph asked, "Isn't Ujimushi no Su only for the worse prisoners and deserters?"
"Yes but he didn't know that." Toph's smirk returned and she shared a high five with him.
World of the Living
The place where the earthquake happened was the ruins of a small village but thanks to the other neighboring villages, they had already moved the bodies and rubble so it would be a little easier on the shinigami. All was left for the souls to be moved on and that would be it however the dark night would make it a bit difficult for some of the shinigami.
"Okay everyone you have your groups and sectors assigned and remember to check everywhere for the pluses." Toshiro said as he stood before the group of shinigami. "We'll meet back her in two hours understand."
The group nodded and everyone, beside Toph who was Toshiro's partner, went off to search for the pluses. The small duo then went in there own direction, saying nothing for most of the way.
Toph decided to break the silence by saying, "So Toshiro how have you been?"
"Good, Isshin keeps attacking me at random times and I have to do the paperwork since we don't have a lieutenant."
"Shouldn't Isshin be the one to do that kind of stuff?"
"Maybe but as his current highest seat I have to handle that kind of stuff since he's too busy doing other things."
"What kind of things?"
With Isshin
"A-and then I s-said to t-that hollow to bite me *hiccup* and it actually did!" Isshin said as he and Kisuke drank in a bar with him being drunk after downing two bottles.
"W-wow I-isshin * hiccup* that is a g-great story." Kisuke said as he swayed back and forth, no less drunk than his friend. "S-say who keeps drinking from my shots? When I find the b-bastard, I-i'll wait what was I talking about?"
"I don't know. Say wanna hear this story about a hollow I fought?"
"Sure!" That would be the fourth time Isshin told that story that day.
Back with Toshiro and Toph
"Important things he says." They walked a few more minutes before he said. "So do you know your zanpakuto's name?"
Toph sighed and shook her head, placing a hand on the hilt of her blade. "No she's been really stubborn about it and even kicked me out of my Inner World a couple time."
"Just like you huh? Stubborn and mean." Toshiro let out a small laugh as Toph smirked. "Watch it Ice-pop." The two then continued the walk in silence until Toph asked.
"So why have you been sad for the past couple of months?" Toshiro looked at her in surprise and was about to come up with a excuse when she continued. "And don't feed me any excuses or lies Toshiro. You know I can tell when your lying and Yukari can tell that there something wrong with you too."
Toshiro thought for a second and sighed. "Its personal okay. I'll tell you and Yukari when I'm ready." Toph stopped and spat on her right hand. "Shake on it."
He smirked, spat his own hand and shook with her as she smiled. "So Toph, how is your new division?"
She shrugged and said, "Its great, lots of people think I can't fight but after my first day they know not to mess with me." On her first day, she sent half of the division to the Fourth, giving them a field day that day.
"I just don't like the captain, he's a slob and a lazy fat ass. Oh and the third seat, he hates me since I show no respect to the captain." The two chattered for a while before running out of things to talk about and decided to walk in silence.
The two went on with there search for any pluses but after two hours of nothing, they decided to go back to the meeting point. Once they got there, Toshiro saw that most of the team was here. Key word, most.
"Wheres Hiroto's group?" The shinigami muttered non helpful answers causing him to sigh. "Alright the rest of you report back to the Seireitei, me and Toph will find them." The group accepted this and opened a gate while Toshiro and Toph went off to find the last two people.
An Hour Later
Toph was in front of Toshiro, leading him to where she felt vibrations that felt like people's footsteps. However where she was leading them was way off the assigned route they were given and would receive punishment if they didn't have a good reason.
"Hiroto-san we need to go back. We're already an hour late and I don't want to get into more trouble." A female voice said the two recognizing it as the girl who was paired up with Hiroto.
They heard Hiroto laugh and say, "Come on Aoi, enjoy the night! Besides its not like those two brats can do anything to hurt us."
Stepping into view of the two he saw Aoi, a blue hair girl with brown eyes, with a scared look on her face and Hiroto laying on the ground with a smirk as he watched the two get closer.
"Speaking of brats," He sat up, his smirk growing wider. "Why don't you two go back to your mommy's and leave the dangerous work to us real shinigami. And don't pull that Ujimushi no Su stuff on me, I remembered that its only for the worst of the shinigami.
Toshiro narrowed his eyes, ignoring Aoi muttering "I told you that.", and said, "The fact stills remains that as your team leader for this mission, you have to follow my orders."
Hiroto just waved him off. "Listen shortly *Toshiro's face slightly twitched at that* I don't care if you are a noble, I ain't taking orders from someone who probably still needs his mother to feed him so why don't you bu-" He was cut off when glowing yellow rope wrapped around his body, completely immobilizing him.
Everyone looked at Toph who had a hand out aimed at Hiroto. "He was really getting on my nerves." Hiroto tried to get out of the ropes but he wasn't strong enough to break them
"Let me go! Let me go or I'll-" A small piece of yellow rope found itself wrapped around his mouth and making a gag, preventing him from talking. Toph then grabbed his left leg and began to drag him away, showing no visible effort with Toshiro and Aoi following behind her.
Aoi then looked at Toshiro. "Shihoin-san I'm sorry for not bring him earlier but he's a seated officer and I couldn't-" She stopped herself when Toshiro held up a hand.
"You stuck with your partner even though he wasn't listening and I can't punish you for that but next time I want you to be more direct. Understand?" She nodded and the four continued walking back to there meeting point, the only sounds coming from Hiroto's fruitless struggling.
Toph decided to say aloud to break the silence. "You know I'm surprised that we didn't encounter any hollows considering how much souls was here." The moment she finished her sentence, a loud roar rang out throughout the night making Aoi and Hiroto freeze in horror while Toshiro gave Toph an pointed glare which was rather ineffective due to her blindness but still felt slightly embarrassed if the red on her cheeks was any sign.
"Yeah I probably shouldn't have said that." Suddenly a loud stomping sound came for the right and everyone, including Hiroto who turned onto his side, saw a large vaguely humanoid hollow, about 12 feet tall.
It had long beefy legs that was as thick as a full grown tree and long arms ending with a trio of huge curved claws and the usual hollow mask, its glowing yellow eyes glaring hungrily at the four.
"Its my lucky day, I thought that all those tasty shinigami had already left but it seems that I stumble upon four all to myself." It, or rather he judging by the voice, said as his tongue licked his lips.
Both Hiroto and Aoi was with fear while Toshiro looked at the hollow with a calm expression and Toph well...
"Hey Ice-pop take this guy off my hands while I handle ugly here." She said this with a smile on her face that promised pain. Toshiro nodded, took Hiroto and dragged him and Aoi to a safe distance.
The hollow laughed as it saw Toph draw her blade. "Really? A blind girl against a powerful hollow like me." He swung his right claws at her only to be caught off guard as she swiftly ducked and slice his claws off from his arm at the wrist.
"AH! You'll pay for that!" The hollow roared as he charged at her while she stood calmly with her sword held in her hands in front of her.
In her point of view, she could feel and hear the hollow's large footsteps coming toward her and quickly dodged a stomp that would have crashed her by diving to the right. Once she got back to her feet, she quickly stabbed the back of his legs before jumping up into the air and driving her blade into the back of the hollow, holding on tightly as it trashed around to get her off.
While this was happening, Toshiro watched with a calm expression as his friend fought with the hollow. "Shouldn't you help her?" He looked at Aoi who was watching the fight with wide eyes and shook his head.
"Trust me, that hollow is way below Toph's level and probably won't get a hit in besides if I interfere, she might decided to try and kill me instead." He turned his attention back to his friend, casually sitting on top of Hiroto's back who was currently wondering how heavy he was exactly.
Now back to Toph, she quickly jumped off as the hollow tried to crush her into the earth and turn back toward it. But before she could do anything else, she heard someone say, "Let me fight."
She was caught off guard by sudden voice that she barely dodged the hollow's claws, making three tear marks at her uniform top. 'I've been trying to learn your name for years and just now, you want to fight?'
"Hey I'm picky when I want to fight and I want to fight now, besides- Oh there another hollow sneaking behind you." Eyes widening she ducked as a scythe like arm and wondered how she didn't notice it before when she heard a faint buzzing sound.
'Just great, a flying hollow. I hate these guys.' This was due to the fact that her unique ability was uselessly against enemies in the air but luckily her heighten sense of hearing covered that field of weakness since allow her to hear where they are.
"What are you doing here? This is my prey!" The first hollow yelled at the 10 ten bug like hollow that had scythe arms, large wings, and skinny frame for quick flying.
The second hollow laughed and said, "Your 'prey' was defeating you without any visible effort and I'm hungry as well."
"Shut it I wasn't even getting started."
As the two hollows argue who would fight and kill her, Toph was talking with her Zanpakuto about fighting. 'Two on one I can handle it, these two hollows ain't powerful enough to beat me.'
"Just let me fight! Its been a long time since I felt my true form feel the earth."
'No means no, now let me kick some hollow butt.'
"... I guess I should tell Toshiro about your little crush on him." Even from a distance, Toshiro could see the two hollows arguing and Toph's face turn red in a impressive amount of time. 'Did she just suddenly catch a fever?'
'HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT!' Her crush on Toshiro was her biggest secret and would just die if Toshiro found out about that. She heard her Zanpakuto laugh and say. "Did you forget that I live in your head so that means anything you think I'll know."
Toph then ducked under a scythe arm and rolled to avoid a overhead slash since the two hollows decided to split the kill. However, while she was dodging the attacks she easily moved away from, she was still talking to her Zanpakuto.
'You can't tell him that. Your in MY head so that means you have no way of telling him.'
She could almost see her Zanpakuto's grin even though she can't see as she blocked a slash from the bug hollow aimed at her side before knocking it away and slice it clean off, getting a roar of pain from it.
"Oh yeah you don't know. All Zanpakutos can talk to each other when we wish to and I might let it slip to Hyōrinmaru that you like his master."Toph consider her opinions when her two opponents jumped away from her.
"Already enough is enough, I want to end this now!" The first hollow began charging a cero which caused the second hollow to follow his lead, both of them aiming at Toph who was standing still.
Toph sighed mentally and thought. 'Fine you win now just tell me your stupid command release.'
"Alright now say and do exactly what I say."Toph held out her Zanpakuto in her right hand upside down and yelled.
"Quake, Terra!" She then kneed and stabbed her sword into the earth, the blade sinking through like water before stopping at the guard. At the same time, the hollows released there ceroes that came rushing toward Toph as her Reiatsu rose higher than before. The impact threw up earth and dust, covering her from view while Toshiro simply narrow her eyes.
Aoi covered her eyes, slowly opened them and asked, "I-is she dead?" At this Toshiro shook his head, feeling his friend still alive but much more powerful than before. 'Looks like she finally figure out her Zanpakuto's name.'
The dust cleared, revealing a slab of earth in front of Toph which fell to show her Zanpakuto's true form. It was the color of the earth, a healthy brown, and was in the form of gauntlets, greaves, mask that covered her mouth and nose, and back armor.
'Whoa I feel,' Toph thought as she flexed her feet and hands. 'awesome.' Her Zanpakuto spoke up again. "I'm glad you feel so now let kill those hollows."
She was about to do what her Zanpakuto said when she stopped. 'Wait doesn't my blade needs to strike there mask to help them pass on?'
"That's the beauty of my power, the earth is your blade so it will work like any normal Zanpakuto."Toph grinned under her mask and thrust her hands out. Suddenly the earth under the first hollow jumped up and encase him in a ball of earth.
The bug hollow flew up, yelling. "What the hell!?" Toph closed her hands and the earth ball crushed the hollow before letting its corpse fall to the ground and dissolving into nothing. The bug hollow flew a little higher before deciding to dive bomb her, his left and only scythe held high to kill. Toph focused her ears on where the hollow will be before quickly raising a hand up which in turn sent up a sharp spike of earth flying up toward its future position. The hollow was too into the dive to pull away so it received a spike to the head, killing it instantly.
Toph let her Zanpakuto return to its sealed state as her armor went back to her right hand, forming her sword once again. The rest of the group appeared behind her and she turned to Toshiro with a huge smile on her face. "Yeah Toshiro did you see that!? I learnt my Zanpakuto's name!"
Her friend nodded and smiled. "Your lucky, I had to fight my crazy uncle to learn my own Zanpakuto's name." At this point, Toph was so caught up in the moment that she ran up to him, grabbed him and kissed him on the cheek, surprising Toshiro and the other two watching.
Once she was finished, her mind caught up to her and she turned into shade of red that was unhealthy before fainting into Toshiro's arms. Said boy had red cheeks and turned to the two behind him. "Not one word of what happened her or else." He emphasize the 'or else' with a quick burst of his Reiatsu making them quickly nod there heads in fear and he shifted Toph so that he could carry her bridal style and told Aoi to drag Hiroto with them.
And That's it for now! Yes I finally revealed Toph's Zanpakuto name and appearance, but if you can't see how it looks like then search up Devil May Cry Gilgamesh and that is how it looks like. Just without the blades and saws and brown in color. Before you review, I wanted to state that I had several ways for her to reveal her Zanpakuto's name but this was my favorite one since it showed her basic ability but trust me, she will have more advance ones later in the story.
Well that's all for now, please leave a review to tell me what you think!
