Chapter 3
A bead of sweat rolled down Karin's face as she muttered something along the lines, I'm going to die before I get to the Academy.
Yoroko swung her Zanpakto with a lot of force aiming for Karin's opening, Karin manages to block it in the nick of time before receiving a fatal wound and twists her body to try and kick her face but once again was blocked.
"What the hell do you think you are doing?! Do you want to kill me or something?!" Karin screeched.
"That's the point, if you get real practice by fighting you will be able to fight at the Academy better, and you will get real life practice!" She said.
"But... If you keep this up I will be dead before any of that happens!" Karin said.
"But this is just so much fun!" She said, trying to inflict another blow at Karin.
"You change too fast..." Karin said.
"What did You say?" She asked.
"U-um no-nothing" Karin replied
Karin wasn't able to dodge fast enough but just then she tried to step away, unconsciously performing a flash step with her own determination, but however unable to control where she flash stepped smashed into a near by bolder.
Then suddenly she hears a male voice inside her head burst out laughing.
'Did you guys see that? That was hilarious!' And continued his laughing fit.
'Yeah! That was kind of, funny huh?' the kid broke into a stifle of giggles.
'Shut up, stop acting like a bunch of imbeciles, it's not funny to laugh at other people's mistakes!' The woman said, but it sounded as if she was holding back some laughter behind that stoic face.
Karin got up holding her burning face, she had learned how ignore the voices in her head.
Karin tried to attack Yoroko but was blocked and was parried by Yoroko inflict a wound on Karin's ribs.
This time Yorokos change was dramatic"All I sense in your sword Is fear, and your thoughts of all the 'what ifs'" Yoroko said kind of coldly.
Karin opened her mouth to speak but was interrupted.
"Don't say that your still to weak and your afraid you might die, if you counter, its because your afraid of being killed, when you attack, you fear killing, and when you try to protect someone, you fear you could let them die, at this point, the only thing your sword speaks of, is senseless fright, and that's not good, what you do not need in battle, is fear, nothing will come of it"
Karin stood there opening and closing her mouth like a gold fish.
"If in a real battle you would have died if all you thought about was fear, remember these three rules"
She stopped for a moment before attacking Karin.
"One! If you counter, you don't let me cut you!" Karin parried her attack taking what she said into mind.
"Two! When you protect someone you don't let them die!"she practically shouted.
Karin realizing that she was right parried her attack and managed to scratch her face, but Yoroko was too fast and countered her with a kick in the gut, sending Karin into another bolder.
Karin could make out her words and figure through the dust while she said seriously "And when you attack, you kill!" Raising her sword above releasing an exceptional amount of Sprit Energy.
Karin taking her words to heart shows true determination and charges at Yoroko unconsciously using Flash step surprising Yoroko earning Yoroko a wound right below neck, thankfully.
"Training is over for today, you learned the lesson I was trying to teach you" she said brightly.
"But I just go-" Karin was interrupted.
"Don't say the rest, and besides you have other things to tend to" She said to Karin
Karin was confused "Like what?" She asked.
"Like speaking to your Zanpakto!" Yoroko said.
"B-But how did you..?" Karin asked, shock filling her face.
"I'm from the Shihoin clan, I have my sources, so that means I also knew that your ability to hear their names was blocked by your fear and so on, ask them, do it later after dinner though!" She said.
And with that they set off to have dinner.
...
Yoroko had prepared dinner herself leaving Karin to ponder about her Sensei's word, was she really that afraid? To make Yoroko that serious? Was she that weak that she feared everything that got In her way? Her thoughts were interrupted when Yoroko walked into the room pushing what looked like what waiters use to serve food.
Setting different kinds of food on the Table, after what looked like fifty plates of beef, chicken, turkey , stew, rice, curry, etc, Karin had never seen so many of her favorate foods set on one table by bow she was almost drooling.
"Do you like what you see? I made extra because your here, and we can discuss things over the time we are eating!" She said with a smile that lit up her thoughts.
...
"Nee, Yoroko, how do you know so much about the ways of the shinigami?" Karin asked while munching on her dinner.
"I figured you would ask that, well I used to be lieutenant of the eleventh squad" she said plainly.
"And you are a noble, why are you living out in the tenth district? You should be in the Sereitei!" Karin asked.
"I had too many restraints on me and I wasn't aloud to to do anything, they were about to marry me off to someone I didn't even know, so I ran away! Could you believe that?!" She said bluntly, Karin sweat dropped, so much like Yoroichi, a little bit to much to be coincidence.
"May I ask one last question?" Karin said.
"Sure why not?"
"Yoroichi can turn into a cat, can you turn into an animal like her?" Karin asked out of plain curiosity.
"Well actually I can, it's a trade secret of the Shihoin clan, I was planning to teach you later on before you set off to the Sereitei... Guess the cats out of the bag" she said
"What animal can you turn into?" Karin asked.
She smirked "Don't freak out" all of a sudden she disappeared.
Karin searched frantically to find her, she finds a snake where her clothes were.
Karin stared in awe.
Then she turned back into human form but this time she was naked.
Surprising Karin, Karin covered her eyes while embarrassed half to death "You can at least cross your legs!" She shouted while a blush appearing
"Everyone says that..." She said while cracking up laughing.
...
"Lesson Two! Commencing!" Yoroko said
"So what are we learning today?" Karin asked.
"Remember that time when you accidentally used a technique that made you faster and then you smashed into that bolder over there? We will be practicing that technique today! So you don't smash into a bolder again" She said holding back a laugh.
"But how do I do it though, before I did it by instinct, nothing mor nothing less, I don't even know what it's called!" Karin protested.
"That's what I'm here for right?" Karin silently agreed to her statement.
"Ok so how do I do it" Karin gave in.
"The name of the technique is Shunpo, otherwise known as Flash step, Shunpo or Flash step if you prefer, is a technique activated by concentrating your Spirit Energy into the balls and heals of your feet creating an extra boost of speed and power to help you boost off for a faster step, giving the illusion of flashing from one place to another almost instantly, but you must have an exceptional amount of Spirit Energy to keep this up for long" She said.
Noticing Karins discouragement she added "If you master this technique I'll reward you with teaching you how to change into the form of an animal like me and Yoroichi"
"Awsome! so what do I start with?" Karin said excitedly.
"We will be sparring, and keep in mind that I will be using flash step, the objective of this battle is... To strike me five times!"
'This should be easy' Karin thought.
"This lesson begins... Now!" She shouted.
Yoroko Shunpo'd behind Karin earning Karin a look of surprise and a deep gash on her back, Karin tried to hit her but failed miserably.
"Rule number 1! Never underestimate your opponent!" She yelled.
She swung her Zanpakto at Karins sword nocking it out of her hands, leaving Karin no choice but to use flash step to avoid her blows.
One problem...
Karin had no idea how...
Yoroko charged at Karin trying to inflict another fatal blow only for something peculiar to happen.
Karin moved out of the way, but not with Shunpo, with something completely different, something she had never seen before, something much faster, but the thing is she didn't control it, and smashed, not into the boulders, but through multiple boulders leaving body shaped holes.
Yorokos eyes widen while counting how many boulders she went through.
"One, two...four, five, wow nice one Karin, you inflicted for damage on yourself than I did!" Yoroko came up with a witty response to hide her surprise.
Yoroko took advantage of the situation while shouting "Rule number 2! Use all situations to your advantage!" She Shunpo'd to Karin while raising her Zanpakto.
Karin thought 'so I lose huh? I would have really liked to win...'
Higher...
Higher, she raised her blade, but suddenly she stopped, no, she froze, not moving an inch, just like a statue.
She heard a soft voice.
"Come here and call out to us"
After that Karin's vision went black.
...
Karin awoke at the same place as before, in front of a colorful mansion, with trees surrounding her.
She admired the mansion once again, but something happened.
Three figures started to materialize in front of her.
A little girl with Blue eyes an long Aqua Blue hair, she was wearing a light blue summer dress.
A woman with dazzling Green eyes and light green hair, she was wearing shorts and a blouse.
A teenager with with spiky red hair and light gray eyes, he was wearing jeans and a shirt.
They were her Zanpakto.
"Now is not the time to chat, it is time you learned our names, you are in need of us right? Then call out to us and borrow our power"
Karin could only nod,she felt as if something was blocking her voice.
She tried to speak, but to no avail.
"Our names are..."
Suddenly her voice came back and she said "Okay"
...
Yoroko raised her sword getting ready to swing.
She swung, but one second too late, Karin had Shunpo'd away.
Karin shouted "Freeze everything in your path! Kori!"
Suddenly a sword started to materialize, it was pure white with a diamond hilt, with an snow flake hanging off the hilt by a chain, a pure white chain.
Yorokos eyes widen.
...
(Yorokos P.O.V)
'W-what?'I thought.
"I-impossible!" I managed to choke out.
'No soul reaper has ever been able to materialize their Zanpakto without an Asahuchi' (Spelling?)
'Never have I seen a soul reaper with such promise, this is amazing!' A voice inside her head said.(in short her Zanpakto.
'What the hell Yoroichi? Are you trying to raise a monster?'
...
Yoroko said "incredible!"
"I hope you can dodge this, Yoroko, cause I'm not sure if I can control this well enough" Karin raised her Zanpakto releasing an irrational amount of Spirit Energy.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" Karin swung her Zanpakto releasing hundreds of ice swords heading straight towards Yoroko.
