~training grounds in Soul Society~
"Alright. Now that we have settled in. Let's get you three to Shikai. Maybe we might even be able to get you up to Bankai." Urahara said with a smile.
Everyone had left the Human world immediately after they received word of the new Espadas, leaving their bodies and Gigais at the Kurosaki house, if they needed to. They had been trying to get in contact with Nel, who they left in charge of the remaining Espada when they last helped Hueco Mundo, but they weren't having any luck. The Visoreds had also joined them in Soul Society and were also told that they had a squad building built for them and a squad set up for them if they wanted to rejoin the Gotei 13. They were all still debating, but training to fight Aizen was a higher priority than choosing whether or not to rejoin.
Ayame, Karin, and Yuzu were all lined up in their shinigami forms with their zanpakutou drawn. None of them had tried to release their zanpakutou yet.
Urahara clapped his hands together. "So, whose first?"
~Karin's Try~
Karin stepped forward holding her zanpakutou in front of her. She closed her eyes and focused on her zanpakutou. "Rage in the fires of hell, Hiwamaru" she yelled while opening her eyes wide and releasing her Reiatsu a bit. Her Reiatsu spiked and looked like a raging fire around her and her zanpakutou. When it settled her zanpakutou's blade had changed to a bright red colour.
"Not bad Kurosaki-san. Do you know what type your zanpakutou is?" Kisuke guessed it obviously had something to do with fire. He could feel the temperature rising.
'What type are you?' Karin asked Hiwamaru through her thoughts.
'Fire and molten rock. Basically anything that can burn things. Which does include some forms of poisons.' Hiwamaru told her. 'You should probably concentrate more on the temperature your causing. You just might unintentionally kill people. Namely your boyfriend.' Karin blushed at her zanpakutou's statement. Then snapped out of her thoughts enough to notice the stifling heat coming off her zanpakutou.
"Oops." She said while sweat dropping. She dropped the amount of Reiatsu flowing into her zanpakutou until the temperature was back to normal. "She said she's a burn-type. Meaning she can use anything that can cause a burn."
"Interesting. Never heard of one like that." Urahara mentally took note of that. "For now we will classify Hiwamaru as a fire-and-lava-type zanpakutou. Hitsugaya-Taichou!" He called the young white haired Taichou. "Can you take Kurosaki-san...oh dear this is going to get confusing." Kisuke realizing that there were four Kurosakis in the same area and saw a problem.
"Just use first names!" Karin yelled at the shop-keeper/sensei while crossing her arms.
"Good idea! Hitsugaya-Taichou, can you take Karin-san and help her practice with her Shikai. She has a fire/lava-type, but your ice is most likely stronger. So, you should be able to moderate the temperature so no one dies of heat stroke." Urahara asked Hitsugaya while pushing Karin in his direction and turning around and walking away once he was done explaining.
Karin and Hitsugaya were both confused as to what just happened. Then they realized that they were forced to pair up again. Toshiro felt evil glares being sent his way. He looked around till he saw two other Kurosakis staring at him with a killing aura around them both. "Well then. Shall we go find someplace to practice so I don't kill anyone by accident?" Karin asked having not noticed her father and brother staring at them.
"Sure." Toshiro flash stepped beside Karin. "You may want to close your eyes and hold on." He whispered in her ear causing shivers to run down her spine and blush to spread across her cheek. She closed her eyes just before the Taichou flash stepped toward the far end of the training ground and away from the murderous aura while holding Karin in his arms.
~back to Urahara~
"Alright. Who's next?" Urahara peaked over his fan at the two remaining girls. He honestly did not think he would have three new shinigami to train. Karin, he knew would be able to release her zanpakutou. After all she had been training for two years now to be able to. He was quite surprised by the other Kurosaki twin getting a zanpakutou as well. He also didn't see how she could have hidden the large Reiatsu she possessed so well, but he loved surprises. This one was quite a nice one.
~Yuzu's turn~
"I guess I'll try next." Was said quietly by the timid blond. She closed her eyes and concentrated on her zanpakutou. 'Jiwamaru, I don't know what to do.' She cried to her zanpakutou while holding back tears.
'Dont be scared little one.' Came the deep soothing voice of her zanpakutou. 'I am not one to fight, same as you. I am one who comforts others, as are you. We are one. Are you afraid of yourself or your own potential?'
'No. No I'm not. I'm not scared of myself. I will help my sister. I will protect her. Even if that means healing her so she can get hurt again. I will not be left behind.' She flared her Reiatsu. "Rise from the breaking earth, Jiwamaru!" An impact crater formed around the youngest Kurosaki, as the blade of her zanpakutou changed to a earthy brown colour.
Her brother and father gazed in amazement as their little Yuzu stood there with her zanpakutou. Then they were hit by a strong wind that pushed them down. Almost no one remained standing after the wind hit them. They all stood up and stared at the small girl who was emitting a Reiatsu that was greater than one possessed by a Taichou. Then her Reiatsu instantly dropped to nothing, but her zanpakutou stayed released.
'She must be only emitting enough Reiatsu to keep her zanpakutou released.' Kisuke thought while trying to figure out why she never gave off any Reiatsu. "Well done Kurosaki-san. It's surprising to think that you have more Reiatsu than your brother and father combined." He pointed out. Ichigo and his father's jaw dropped when Urahara said this. "Now who to train you?"
"Why don't I train her?" A tall shinigami with an eye patch on one eye walked towards the pair.
"Zaraki-Taichou? I don't believe her zanpakutou is a fighting type zanpakutou. Right Kurosaki-san?" He asked stepping between the Kenpachi and Yuzu.
"R-right. Jiwamaru is an earth/air-type. He is like me, a non-fighter." Yuzu said while staring at the large Taichou. She was in awe at his height and how menacing he looked, but he seemed gentle due to the pink haired gURL clinging to his shoulder.
"Humph, a Kurosaki who doesn't fight. That's just pathetic." Zaraki was pissed that he couldn't try to beat the young girl that surpassed her brother in Reiatsu.
"Hey!" Ichigo yelled at Kenpachi. "Why don't you and I have a go instead? And you leave my little sister alone." He was mad that the Taichou would say such harsh words about his sister.
"Onii-chan!" Yuzu yelled at Ichigo. "I may not be a fighter but I still need to be strong. If my Jiwamaru is a defence type, then it makes sense to go against a strong attack type zanpakutou." She really wanted to see if she could be of help to her sister and brother. If that meant going against the crazy strong Taichou, then she wanted to do it.
"She does have a point." Urahara jumped back into the conversation. Seeing Ichigo's angry face told the shopkeeper to think of an idea, quickly. "Here's an idea. Why don't the two Kurosaki siblings go up against Zaraki-Taichou?"
Zaraki smiled at his proposal. He not only get to test his skills against the small Kurosaki, but also against Ichigo. "Sounds perfect to me!" He yelled triumphantly while turning and walking toward another part of the training ground.
"Stay close to me." Ichigo told his sister before following Kenpachi. Yuzu followed after him, eager to test out Jiwamaru's power.
~Ayame's turn~
"Last one of the group. Good luck." Kisuke was worried about Ayame. She had only just recently learned to fully suppress and control her Reiatsu.
Ayame placed both her hands on her zanpakutou. 'I don't know if I can do this.' She thought to herself.
'Don't worry. We're right here with you. You got this.' Said two voices simultaneously. They were almost the same but could easily be told apart.
'Right. Here we go!' Ayame smiled while letting her Reiatsu run wild. Her Reiatsu was thick enough to be seen and touched if anyone dared to try. It looked like a fluffy pink and blue ball that matched the pair of orange and green ones that were attached to the end of her zanpakutou hilt. Despite it being fluffy, the aura coming off of it was enough to make someone feel like they were about to be killed and there was nothing they could to save themselves.
"Remove the pain from those I protect, inflict the pain my enemies cause back at them. Kagami Chiryo-sha." Her Reiatsu curled in on itself, hiding Ayame from view. As her Reiatsu compressed itself it faded away. When it had completely disappeared Ayame stood holding too very large, furry, puff balls in her hands. The left was green and pink, while the right was orange and blue.
"Good job Awazaki-san." Urahara was proud of how far she had come from the girl who would go on a blood lust if she let her Reiatsu get too high. He was glad she was able to control it when she let it run wild. He didn't put a limiter on her because he knew she needed to know how to control all of it and not just what the limiter could not suppress. He knew there was still a chance she could lose control. After all, he was closest to her when she released her full power. He didn't know he could feel that much fear, and that scared him more than the thought of death.
Ayame was laughing and jumping around. She then stopped and looked around. She spun in a circle four times before she stopped and looked at Urahara. "Where's Rini-chan?" She asked. The sadness was evident in her voice.
"I'm sure she will be here any minute." Urahara told her firmly. He knew full well what might happen if she started crying. Ayame's crying worked better for attracting Hollows than all the Hollow bait that ever existed and will ever exist. It was strange how well these two girls he found could attract Hollows. He only hoped they would be able to protect themselves from any Hollows they had to face.
~During the zanpakutou releases with Rini~
Rini knew Karin, Yuzu, and Ayame would be trying at Shikai today. So she decided to practice kido with Hinamori and Izuru. Hinamori had introduced her to the blond. Apparently he was only just recovering from an lethal injury that he had received during their war against the Quincy race who ey had thought to be wiped out, except for Ishida, but he was on their side.
It was the two shinigamis against Rini. Both sides were tired, but Rini still hadn't played her trump card yet. 'Not yet. I can win this without using it. Why is it so hot in here?!' She thought while realizing that the temperature in the training area was going up. She looked toward were the heat was coming from and felt Karin's Reiatsu. 'So she's a pyro-type. That will work out great with the boyfriend.' She snickered at herself.
Hinamori and Izuru saw that Rini was distracted and went for a sneak attack hoping to catch her off guard. Rini felt them move and waited for them to get close. 'Guess I can give them a hint at what I'm capable of. But I'll stick to one and just split.' Once they got close they only heard Rini whisper, "Bakudo number 9: Geki" then a red flash. Once the light fades Rini walks over to Hinamori and then Izuru and pokes them both in the forehead. "I win round one. Shall we go again once you recover?"
"How interesting that you can use one kido on two people that were in opposit directions." Kuchiki Byakuya stood beside a tall boulder with Rukia and Renji beside him. "I've never seen that before."
"I have a very strong control over my Reiatsu. I can easily control it how I want to. Splitting a kido is hard and tedious, but not impossible. Although, it's easier to split one rather than cast the same one twice at the same time, or two different ones." She saw how interested the Taichou was with what she was saying. She couldn't help but grin a little at the two dumbfounded Fukutaichous standing behind him. They probably thought she was crazy.
Suddenly the ground shook and a blast of air flew by. Only Byakuya and Rini manage to stay on their feet, but just barely.
"Who's Reiatsu is this?" Rukia asked realizing just how strong it is. "It's so strong. Much stronger than any I've felt around Ichigo."
"Yeah. Even stronger than Zaraki-Taichou. I feel sorry for the person who has that." Renji knew what would happen if Zaraki found out about there being someone with such a powerful Reiatsu.
"It's Yuzu-chan's." Rini said in disbelief. "And about Zaraki-Taichou finding her. He already did, but don't worry. I'm sure Ichigo won't let one of his baby sisters fight Zaraki-Taichou. At least not alone." She added the last part after feeling the three of them heading off in the same direction.
"If your saying Ichigo and his sister are fighting Zaraki-Taichou, then I want to see that for myself." Renji said before heading off to watch their fight.
"I would like to know how you split that kido." Byakuya was unfazed by his Fukutaichou's distraction with a fight between the muscle headed Taichou and the equally muscle headed new Taichou. He was surprised to see that Ichigo wasn't wearing his haori. He was appointed this morning to 9th squad Taichou since Muguruma Kensei was transferred to the Visored Squad. Kuchiki-Taichou was still getting used to having to address him as Kurosaki-Taichou. Although he was pretty sure the newly appointed Taichou hadn't told anyone yet about it. All the Taichous and Fukutaichous knew because they were in the meeting.
"I would love to tell you, but as you might be able to feel the heavy killing aura coming from that direction." She pointed towards the direction that Urahara was. "That tells me that Ayame is about to try and release her zanpakutou. If I'm not there after wards she might freak out. And when she freaks out, she cries like a new born. And when she cries, the Hollows start popping up like daisies." With that said, she flashed stepped towards Urahara and her friend who had just achieved Shikai.
Feed back please. I would really like to know what you think.
