"God, I can't believe I have to deal with that guy again." Zaine muttered sourly, "Not only that but he's gonna be my Shunpo instructor, I bet he's gonna get a kick out of this, damn Kiisho." he shook his head and looked around at the densely wooded area he had chosen for his training ground, squeezing through the tightly packed trunks he made his way into a small clearing and looked around for his old friend, determined to not let him irk him this time around. Through the leafy roof Zaine could catch an occasional glimpse of a sunny, blue sky that held quite a bit of hope for his training's success.
((Still not much good with the intros lol, hope this is ok))

"So good to see ya again Kiisho, took ya long enough to find this place eh?" Zaine shot back with a chuckle, "It's quite nice, thanks for askin." he said with a grin, "However, I know that this isn't why you are here but somthin has been weird about my zanpakuto lately, it's been getting harder to release smoothly and feels off like it's squirmin around in my hand, any idea what that's about?" the shinigami inquired with a worried tone.

Kiisho frowned slightly at Zaine's comment, it wasn't all that strange to be having trouble with one's zanpakutou, but squirming in the hand wasn't exactly normal.
"Mind if I take a look?" The question was mostly redundant, as he didn't wait for an answer, and quickly pulled the weapon from the holder on Zaine's back. "Well, I can't see anything structurally off with it, but I suspect that it is trying to tell you something." He shrugged, and handed the weapon back to Zaine. "Meditate on it, speak to your zanpakutou. It most likely just wishes to convey a message." He gestured towards a shaded area, with a flat rock beneath it. "Try over there, it's one of my favorite spots."

"Ugh, I had a feeling that would be the solution." Zaine grumbled sulkily, taking his zanpakuto from Kiisho he made his way over to the indicated stone and with a grunt sat down, the long zanpakuto placed horizontally across his folded legs, "Well then, Wish me luck Kiisho, I have a feelin Fenris is gonna give me hell." He said with a weak chuckle, and with that he closed his eyes and slowed his breath, as he continued he slowly felt himself slip into the world of his zanpakuto.
"It's about damn time ya worthless runt!" Fenris snarled sharply, launching a powerful kick that sent the shinigami flying into the wall with a painful groan, quickly getting to his feet he caught a second kick the woman launched and grinned up to her wickedly, "Oi Fenris, is that any way to adress a friend?" He said with a joking chuckle, he released her leg and leapt back, looking around the huge central cavern of his Spirit world with the same expression of pure awe and happiness he always displayed upon visiting the place. "What kind of justice is this? A mean old witch like you getting such a beautiful home, and you are still always cranky, I just don't get it." He said with a sigh which was soon transformed into another grunt as Fenris' fist connected with his forehead. "Mean old witch!?!?! You lil b*****d I'm gonna kill you for that!" The woman roared viciously, reaching for the sword she wore at her side. "Sister that's enough, leave the poor pup be, he was merely having some fun isn't that right Zaine?" The calming voice of Fenrir said from one of the caves to the left, moments later the owner of the voice showed himself, the raven haired man stood proudly at the entrance, a small grin on his face as he looked at his sister and the shinigami who was both his and his sister's partner. "Heya Fenrir! Long time no see, so I have a reason for bein here this time and it seems you two are the only ones who may know what is goin on. I'm not gonna beat around the bush here so here it is, what's goin on with my zanpakuto? It hasn't felt right and you guys gotta be behind it, I bet your sis is prolly doin it on purpose to mess with me." He said with a scowl aimed towards the white haired woman, who responded by sticking her tongue out at him and pulling a face. "My you are so damn negative runt, and really quite idiotic too, since it took ya this long to finally get your a** in here and ask us." She said with a disgusted expression her lips twisted into a sneer that displayed the lupine teeth she possessed prominently.
"What are you talking about ya mangy mutt?" Zaine retorted, "Fenrir, could you please be a bit more clear than your rabid sister here?" He asked the man with a smile. Fenrir sighed and massaged the bridge of his nose before continuing, "First off don't provoke her, I may not be able to stop her if ya piss her off too much pup." He said with a dejected tone, though his eyes betrayed a small amount of amusement at the situation. "But to the point at hand, Fenris and I have decided that the time has come....To show you your true power." He said seriously, letting the silence weigh down on the shinigami as he absorbed what was just said.
((That good enough for ya? 1/2))

"Wait, what are you talkin about Fenrir!?" Zaine inquired, his expression the quintessential look of confusion which apparently amused his zanpakuto spirit as Fenrir was sent into a small bout of chuckles, an unusual sight from the somber man, when he had recovered Fenrir looked to Zaine and smiled, "I mean that it is time for you to get the true form of your zanpakuto to be blunt about it, Fenris and I have decided that you have finally matured enough to handle this responsability." The man smiled kindly down at Zaine before glancing over to his sister, his expression prodding her into a grunt of agreement looking back to the young shinigami before him he placed his palm on Zaine's forehead and closed his eyes, muttering somthing he suddenly pushed Zaine mightily and and sent the young man flying into a cavern that he wasn't sure had been there moments before, slamming into a pillar of stone Zaine slid to the ground and wheezed there for a few moments before lifting himself up and looking around. "I'm getting tired of bein thrown around dammit." he muttered, he was about to leave when a glint caught his eye, turning around a large grin was seen splitting across his face, "This will do just fine, just fine indeed." he said with a chuckle.
Zaine's eyes flew open and he looked towards Kiisho with a impish grin, his eyes quickly adjusting to the stray rays of sunlight that still managed to pierce the leafy roof above them. "Problem solved old friend, and look at my souvenir!" With a blur he brought out his zanpakto, only instead of the large twinbladed sword that was his usual weapon he held in his hand a smaller weapon, more akin to a katana however unlike a katana this sword possessed one hilt, but side by side on the hilt were two long blades, the weapon looked like a pair of fangs from some iron beast, and with a fluid movement Zaine took the blades away from each other, now holding two swords, one in each hand. "Not too shabby eh Kiisho?" The shinigami said with a laugh.

"Hah, too shocked by its beauty to speak eh Kiishou?" Zaine commented wryly at his friend's mildly surprised expression, however instead of retorting as Zaine expected Kiisho's only response was throwing somthing at him in a blur, or rather a bunch of somthings that Zaine dodged easily and clattered against the trees with a crack, looking down at the materials he frowned, ankle weights, a barbel and some more weights sat shining in the sparse sunlight up at him, glancing back at Kiisho who proceeded to motion for Zaine to strap on the ankle weights and start to run laps, placing his newly reformed zanpakuto back into it's original dual bladed form and placing it on the strap that he still wore, he also attached the reiatsu keyed device that he had made for himself back at squad 12 to the sword, with a small grin he strapped the weights on, standing up he noted they were heavy, probably a hundred pounds each. "Kiisho, you should realize somethin, this new sword of mine has more than the new look, it's a helluva lot lighter than the original, I dunno if these weights will be heavy enough." He commented wryly, and without further ado began to sprint, ducking between the dense treelines he began to hum to himself loudly, seemingly enjoying the refreshing exercise.

After about twenty minutes of solid running Zaine returned to the clearing, his brow slick with a sheen of sweat and his breathing heavier than what it was when he had set out on the run, "Ya know.....I probably should have taken the damn cloak off before running off, freakin thing kept getting caught on the branches and was hotter than hell when I really got to going." he grumbled, glaring over to his friend who was attempting poorly to keep a smirk from his face. "Screw you too buddy." Zaine said dryly, taking the barbel and glancing back to Kiisho who indicated that he was to do squats with them until told to stop, before starting though he made a good choice and removed the sweat drenched cloak from his body and tossing it onto a nearby branch, hefting the barbel he began to preform his squats, mentally keeping count. "One....Two....Three..." he continued to count, falling into a rhythm after a short period of time.

"Forty-six...Forty-seven...Forty-eight...Forty-nine...Fifty.." he was about to continue but a wave from Kissho halted him, placing the barbel down he walked over to the man, sweat pouring down from his body but he resolved to finish through with this damn training no matter what torment his teacher inflicted upon him. "What next?" he panted, now more than ever thankful for the protection from the harsh sun that the leafy ceiling overhead provided him. Kiisho pointed to the remaining weights and jumped a bit, not much caring for the silent treatment but too tired to argue or comment back Zaine nodded and gripped the weights in hand, he began to jump in place counting mentally once more the amount of times he touched the ground and lifted up off it again, if he had been a little less focused on his count he would have noticed that he had neglected to remove the hundred pound ankle weights from himself, a fact that would have made this exercise a little more bearable to be sure.
((3/7))

"Holy Hell.....I actually think the b*****d is trying to kill me." The shinigami muttered under his breath, the 'he' that he was talking about of course being Kiisho who had taken a seated position around the twelfth jump and was now watching his friend suffer with a bemused expression. "I swear to god Kiisho once we are done here I will kick your a**, you've gotten far too smug for me recently." he said to the man with a chuckle, he was joking of course but the playful growling helped him forget he was getting a bit sore from this strenuous exercise regimen that he was undergoing, around jump forty-five he looked down to see if his feet were bleeding yet and caught a glimpse of the weights still attached to his ankles. "No...." he said in disbelief, speeding up unconsciously and reaching the fiftieth jump in mere moments, he was immediately halted by Kiisho who was now grinning impishly at him.

Zaine fell to the ground suddenly, his legs had become numb under his weight after the punishment he had just put them through he didn't blame them a bit, looking up with a scowl from his spot on the moss covered ground the young shinigami took several moments to regain his ability to speak before was able to articulate his current feelings towards the Vice Captain who was standing over him with an expression not dissimilar to that of a cat who has captured a fat bird with a wounded wing, "Laugh it up you b*****d, you could have at least hinted at the fact that I was still wearin those damn things!" he exclaimed with faux rage, his eyes however were alight with amusement and he had to admit that his friend had gotten him pretty well. "Anyway, I think I need to take a breather, my legs won't be wantin to get up any time soon ya know." he said with a chuckle.

After getting a good break in and taking some water offered to him by Kiisho Zaine felt back up to snuff and ready to get on with the training, looking to the black haired shinigami and nodding to let him know he was ready to continue. Kiisho gestured to the woods once more and made running motions with his fingers to let Zaine know what he had to do now, You are kidding right?!" he asked incredulously, his energy was back but still, he had already ran with the weights and didn't see what another lap could do for him other than tire him more, however it wasn't his place to question and with a last sulky glare at the Vice Captain he checked to make sure the weights were firmly attached, took a calming breath and began his run into the forest once more. Muttering under his breath about how he hated trees and especially those that were dumb enough to grow so ungodly close to one another.

After an hour or so some rustling was heard and out came a panting, red-faced, sweat drenched Zaine, his torso sporting several small cuts and bruises from running through the dense woods and his pants were a little dirty but otherwise he had made it out well, halfway through his run the shinigami had gotten lost and ended up running in circles for a good ten minutes before realizing that he was, it had taken him a good half hour to figure out which way was the correct path to the clearing, but once back on track he had actually made fair time, looking around the area he grinned to Kiisho and asked breathlessly, "So what next? Gonna have me cut down and lug trees with my hands only? Or are ya just gonna end it here? No one would ever know, this place is so damn remote I doubt many even know it exists." he said with a weak laugh, still half convinced his friend wanted nothing more than his death.
((7/7 DONE!))

Kiisho smiled as his newest pupil finished the basic workout. He was probably under the impression that the running about like an idiot WAS the training, which was funny in and of itself.
"Good job Zaine. Now that you're done with the warm-up, we can start the training." He chuckled lightly. "Focus your reiatsu into your legs and feet, then release it as you move forward, try to image it like a spring board that propels you forward and up, then down." He vanished, appearing directly behind Zaine. "Like that." He waited a moment, then returned to his new spot, making a 'get on with it' gesture. "Well, get started!"
(seven posts, then you have shunpo. Make them count.)
