Hello again. This chapter, Arthur will begin his training as a Shinigami. Also, reviews and follows would be pretty nice. Reaper, out.

I own nothing, except my OC.

**Zanpakuto/Hollow Thinking**

Arthur stood quietly as all the Captains kept their eyes on him. He didn't really feel uncomfortable under all their gazes, What the hell is he? Well, almost all of them. Mayuri wouldn't take his eyes off the poor teenager.

"Third Seat Madarame, what do you have to say after your spare with the boy?" Yamamoto stared intently as Ikkaku gave his reply. "He has a lot of strength and a surprising amount of speed. In all honesty, I think it would be a waste of time to send him to the Academy." Looking back at Arthur, he gave a large smirk, "But that doesn't mean I can't kick his ass." He sent a bit of his reiatsu towards Arthur, who just shrugged the weight off his shoulders.

Arthur knew that when faced with this guy's type, you should never show any sign of backing down. "Name the place and time baldy, but make sure those cracked ribs of yours are healed first." He smiled after putting emphasis on "cracked" and giving him a confident look. He was surprised when he heard both Ikkaku and Kenpachi begin to laugh, fully expecting one of them to get angry with him. Unohana and some of the other Captains rolled their eyes as each had the same thought, Great, another meat head. Arthur then surprised all of them with his next action. "Heh heh yeah, but seriously, make sure you heal up, any more fights or stuff like that will cause your ribs to either get worse, or even break." He said all this while scratching the back of his head and giving them all a nice smile.

This left the shocked 4th Division Captain with a new thought, Maybe I spoke to soon. Isane, who was also there, was just as shocked, and even had a blush on her face when she saw his smile.

"Back to the matter at hand," the stern, but amused, voice of the Head Captain gained everyone's attention, "we will now decide your training assignments." He looked over to a small woman that had short, black hair and light grey eyes; her expression one of complete seriousness. "Soi-fon, you will teach him hand-to-hand combat, as well as helping to control this power of his. It seems to me that it is a lot like your Shunko technique."

"Yes sir." the 2nd Division Captain with a slight look of annoyance in her eyes, her voice was also full of seriousness. Next, Yamamoto turned to look at a man of about average height with long, black hair and the same eyes as that Soi-fon woman. "Captain Kuchiki, you will be charged with teaching him Kido and Bakudo." The 6th Division Captain's face never lost its bored expression, "Forgive me Head Captain, but I refuse. I will not give him special privileges just because he has a higher than normal reiatsu level." Just as Yamamoto was going to yell at the Captain, Arthur responded, "That's cool with me." All eyes went to him, "I'd probably lose my cool, with you after the first 20 minutes." his tone one of reasoning. the Head Captain nodded his head and turned to Unohana, "Then you shall teach him, Captain Unohana." Said Captain nodded, keeping her comforting smile on the whole time, "Of course, I'd be happy to."

This caused Arthur to smile once again, happy that he would be getting such a nice woman as his teacher. Little did he know, he would soon find out how "nice" Retsu Unohana really was. "Captain Kyoraku will teach how to fight with your Zanpakuto, while Captain Ukitake helps you to get said Zanpakuto." Both Captain's nodded and gave the teenager reassuring smiles.

"Uh wait, where am I gonna stay?" Once again, all eyes went to Arthur. "Well, you're definitely welcome at our barracks." Kenpachi told him with a smirk. Unohana cleared her throat loudly, "I think it would be better if stayed at my barracks." What happened next could only be described as a standoff as the tension between the two Captains grew. "I think I'll stay with the 4th Division, but don't worry, if I get some free time, I'll head on over to the 11th for some spares and extra training." Arthur became relieved when he both Captains relax and agree with what he said.

"Okay, so when and whom with do I start my training?" He spoke with such enthusiasm and excitement that some of the Captains chuckled. "You'll begin tomorrow morning with Captain Ukitake to obtain your Zanpakuto." And with that, the meeting was adjourned.

**Time Skip**

"Wow, thanks again for letting me stay." Arthur turned around after looking at his new room and thanked the grey haired woman before him. "I-it was nothing." Isane was again blushing at his smile. "Huh, you okay Isane-chan?" He moved in closer and put his hand on her forehead, "No, you don't have a fever." Isane's blush grew at how close they were, "I-I'm fine, honestly." Arthur looked her in her eyes for moment before responding, "Alright, I'm gonna hit the sack, have a goodnight Isane-chan." Arthur shut the door behind him before he could see the small smile that appeared on Isane's face after calling her "chan" again.

**Next Morning, 13th Division Barracks**

Arthur sat across from Ukitake, cross-legged and quiet. "What am I supposed to be doing again Captain?" One eye popped open as the sick Captain repeated the exercise, "You're reaching in to your soul and finding your Zanpakuto spirit."

"How will I know when I've found it?" Ukitake just chuckled softly, "Trust me, you'll know."

Getting quiet again, Arthur searched for what seemed like half the day. Until, "I think I feel something." He was met with complete silence. "Captain Ukitake?" Arthur opened his eyes and what he saw took his breath away. Before him stood an angel, a literal Angel. He was tall, had short, white hair done in a ponytail. His eye was pure white, a golden eye patch covered the other, and his wings were also white. A beautiful long sword hung at his hip.(Look up Abaddon from Darksiders) "Are you my Zanpakuto spirit?" Arthur was beyond amazed at what he was seeing. "Yes, my name is…" Though his lips were moving, Arthur couldn't hear his name. "Sorry , what was that?" The Angel gave a small, but sad smile and shook his head. "It is not yet time, for now, here." A blinding light shown down upon Arthur's lap as a sword appeared. "We will meet again Arthur, I promise you that."

"Arthur, wake up!" Arthurs' eyes snapped open as he felt someone shaking him. "I'm fine, please stop that." Ukitake out a sigh of relief. "Well, it looks like you found it." Arthur looked down at his Zanpakuto. It looked like a standard katana; long, steel blade and sharp edge. However, there were some differences. The scabbard was white, and the hilt was covered in a white and red cloth. "Not it, he." Ukitake looked at Arthur with a smile, "So you have already communicated, that's fantastic." Arthur smiled back and tried to stand up, but stumbled and felt light headed. "Oh man, not again." And that was all he could say before he passed out.

There it is, Chapter 3 done. This has become pretty fun, so I'll try to pump these chapters out as fast as I can.

Some of you might be wondering why I put this as rated T. That's because it will get pretty gory in the future chapters.

In the next chapter, Arthur continues his training and meets some new/old faces. Please leave a follow or a review and have a great time.

Reaper, over and out.
