Kuro's Training (Kouhane & Gabriel_Whist)

Kuro waited outside in the courtyard next to the sword training gym, where he had just gotten out of class. Today was supposed to be his first day of private training, and he was a little bit nervous. It had only been a few months since he was taken out of Rukongai and placed in the Shinigami academy, and he wasn't sure if his skill was up to par just yet. One thing he did think he was above average in was his spiritual pressure, which all of the teachers had been surprised at when they met him for the first time. Unfortunately, his strong spiritual pressure didn't seem to be much of a help at all, not in sword play, where he had been beaten down by his much larger and older opponeny, and certaintly not in Kido, where all of his attempts had ended up in massive explosions that harmed him more than the target. All this spiritual pressure seemed to do was label him as an outcast, and make the other students hate him. That, and it gave him an unnaturally ravenous appetite.

Hopefully having a tutor would improve his situation, maybe his spiritual pressure could even become something useful to him with private training. Taking his sword out while he waited, he began to go through the stances he had learned in sword class, practicing his sword strikes on the air before him. Kuro knew that he didn't have the training and the history of most shinigami, those who came from noble houses, or anywhere but the poor districts of Rukongai he had grown up in. But unlike those students who had everything handed to them throughout life, who were naturally skilled in these areas from generations of shinigami ancestors, and had years of training from childhood onwards, Kuro knew what it was like to work, he knew what it was like to have to go hungry, and he knew what it was like to live hard. And all of his life experiences made him dedicated to his goals, they had given drive, and a work ethic that most other people didn't have. And this resolution was his greatest asset, because he would never give in, he would keep working until he achieved his goal, no matter what.

Having just returned from the Living World, Kurisu was hurrying towards the Shinigami Academy. He was already running late, so he'd chosen to Shunpo his way there, flickering from point to point across the rooftops. It was unusual for someone of his rank to volunteer to tutor but the 7th division's duties, or at least those he was responsible for, had been decreasing recently.

Suddenly stopping on the peak of a roof he looked round the academy grounds, trying to find the sword training gym, according to the schedule Kurisu had been assigned his tutee should recently have finished a zanjutsu class. His name was Kuroshin Sasagawa.

He spotted a youngish-looking boy outside the gym, practicing strikes against the air. Kurisu stepped down from the roof and began to make his way over. Calling ahead of himself he said:

"Excuse me, are you Kuroshin-kun?"

Kuro spun towards the noise, startled, and saw his new tutor, the third seat of the 7th division, Kurisu Kouhane. "Yes sir, Kurisu-sama!" Kuro said loudly, bowing swiftly and deeply at the waist numerous times. Sheathing his sword he lowered his head, and clasped his hands in front of himself.

"Thank you for your attention Kurisu-sama!" He said, "It is an honor to be your student, and I look forwards to learning from you!" Kuro was nervous to be tested by such a skilled man, a seated officer of the Gotei 13, and so was quite ackward, and rigid.

Kurisu paused for a moment, he hadn't expected such a reaction. Since only 26 other shinigami (he knew of) out of the thousands in the Gotei 13 out-ranked him Kurisu was used to the -sama honourific, but not when delivered so... formally.

"It's okay, you can relax."

It had been over 100 years since Kurisu had step foot in this part of seireitei, a fact which made him feel somehow slightly ashamed, but the blue and white shihakushou was still very familiar.

"It's an honour to teach you, I heard that you've impressed your teachers, and trust me that's very difficult."

Kurisu quickly tried to remeber somewhere in the academy grounds that would be appropriate to train, somehwere open. He remembered a courtyard between buildings, but couldn't remember where it was.

"So, Kuroshin-kun, how would you like to start? Is there any one aspect you want to focus on?"

(sorry it took me so ling to reply, I was really busy the last few days)

Kuro smiled at the praise, laughing a little bit and scratching his head. He was surprised to here his teachers had praised anything about him, he'd thought that he was doing quite terribly in all skills and practical application of techniques.

"So, Kuroshin-kun, how would you like to start? Is there any one aspect you want to focus on?"

"Ah, hmmmm." Kuro mused, his head downwards, and scratching the back of his head. He wasn't sure if he should ask this, but it was what he desperately wanted. "Well.... Can you teach me how to unleash my Shikai please Kurisu-Senpai!" He cried the last sentence at an unneccesary volume, embarassed to even be asking such a thing at his level.

Kuroshin's request struck Kurisu as unusual, but then it dawned on him that it was a very clever idea. Achieving his zanpakutou's shikai at his stage of the academy would give him a significant advantage over the other students and guarantee him a seat in the Gotei 13 once he'd graduated. He couldn't help from smiling slightly.

"If that's what you'd like then I'd be happy to help Kuroshin-kohai."

He's certainly got enough reiatsu for it, depending on how this goes I'll probably end up reccomending him to Komamura-taicho.

"But I'll need to know, how far have gotten? Have you found your inner world?"

Kuro looked up in shock, a broad smile across his face. "Really Senpai? Thank you!" Kuro was so excited, he was actually going to learn how to unleash his shikai! Wait a minute, what was that last part that Kurisu-sama had said? "Inner world?" He questioned. Seeing as how he had just joined the academy a few months ago, he was nowhere near even learning about Shikai in the academy, he had just heard about it from fellow students, and rumors.

"I don't really know much of anything about Shikai actually senpai, I've just heard about it from some of my fellow students, and my teachers mentioned it a couple of times, but I don't know anything about how to activate it or anything."

"Hmm... ok, I guess we'll start from the ground up."

Kurisu began to form a sort of lesson plan in his head. It wouldn't be easy but he was sure Kuroshin could do it, after all if Kurisu had that level of reiatsu when starting the academy, he might have become a captain by now.

"We'll need somewhere quiet, and ideally, comfortable. Do you know of anywhere in the academy grounds that'd work? Or, I suppose I could take you to the seventh division training grounds."

Hmmm, Kuro thought. A quiet comfortable place. One spot instantly came to mind, but it wasn't in the academy, or even Seretei.

"Well..." He said, reluctant to tell his master, in case he was looked down on for his less than spectacular past. "I know a place, but its not at the Academy. Its back in Rukongai, where I grew up. Theres this abandoned warehouse down at the docks, by the river. My uh.... gang, used to use it as a base." Once more Kuro had dipped his head, ashamed of his background, and unable to meet his masters eyes.

Noticing Kuroshin was feeling a bit of shame, Kurisu could understand why but thought there was nothing shameful about it.

"You were born in Soul Society weren't you? I've heard that growing up in Rukongai is very hard, I was born in the Living World and lucky enough to have grown to adulthood before I died. I was in Rukongai barely a year before I came to the academy. As young as you must have been then it would only make sense to join a gang."

Kurisu's expression brightened up that moment.

"Anyway. that sounds like a very comforting place, perfect really."

He turned to one side and made a slight gesture.

"Lead the way, Kuroshin-hokai."

"Really?" Kuro asked, surprised. "OK!" Turning, Kuro ran out of the courtyard, knowing that his new master would easily be able to keep up with him, no matter how fast he ran. Soon he had passed through Seretein to Rukongai, and was runnign through the streets of his youth. He had lived here all his life, save the last few months, yet he felt so disconnected. It was odd how long ago it now seemed that he had been an urchin, living on the streets. At the same time it felt somehow.... right, to be here.

When the warehouse came into view Kuro ramped up his pace, sprinting to the old building swiftly, and throwing the door open, bursting in to see if his old friends were here, and was greeted with a burst of dust expanding into the empty building. No one was here, but at least that would provide a better environment for his training.
