Welcome to Gaia! ::

Xeion didn't notice that Sha-chan was already gone, and as he patted her one last time, the momentum of the swing made him lose his balance as he fell to the ground and hit the dirt face-first. You'd never really notice that this guy was indeed the powerful Vice Captain of the ninth squad.

"Ow...that hurt..." He said, going into his chibi mode and started crying. crying

"You're right. Well then, Sha-chan, let's do something to get you ready for your Zanpakuto." He smiled, wiped away his tears and extended his hand. "Okay, I want you to make a ball of reiatsu, basketball sized if you can. If not, a baseball-sized one would do." Xeion said as a basketball-sized one popped out of his hands without too much effort. "See? Easy, right?" He smiled, creating another one of the same size then created another one and another one until he had twenty reiastu balls floating around him.

"Aren't reiatsu balls so cute? Okay, you try it now!" He cheered. "You can do it, Sha-chan!"

"Good! You did well, Sha-chan!" He praised, giving the girl a thumbs up. "Now, Sha-chan, I want you to do this next. Try and absorb the reiatsu then make a ball again then absorb again. Do this ten times so that you can get the rythm of making reiatsu balls. Once you master this skill, everything else will come easy." With that, Xeion raised his hands and the twenty balls of reiatsu formed into one, giant ball as big as two exercise balls. Disregarding the immense amount of spirit pressure, he absorbed it all, still retaining his smile, then extended his hand once more, converting all that energy into a basketball-sized reiatsu ball that popped out.

"Now you try it, Sha-chan!" He exclaimed, giving further encouragement to his student. "I believe in you!"

((A secretive yet powerful warrior eh? Quite a good concept. Mine is sort of like an amalgam of characters, able to change from one personality to the next depending on the situation. Kind of like me in real life. (-^_^-)d))

Hibiki walked out onto the zanpakto training grounds, looking around for anyone who wasn't sparring. He didn't want to have to yell out to see if anyone was around but it was looking like he'd have to.

"Ummm, can anyone help me get my zanpaktou?"

"Wanna learn about my eye Din? I can see perfectly in darkness through my left eye... It's extremely sensitive to light so I can see even in the darkness... as long as there's any source of light near by it can draw from... That's why I hide it... It burns when I'm in bright environments..." Zack said charging at Din dropping his reiatsu output, and relying on brute strength alone to cut his opponent. As he reached Din he swung horizontally with all of his strength.

Zack laughed and jumped into the air as he saw a bright stinging light approach. He focused his reiatsu having to use it for nothing else to glide through the air toward Din with his left eye closed. He started making small reiatsu orbs, dropping them as he went. Charging ever closer he put his sword to his left side ready to strike once he got close enough.

Din smirked as the reflected light hit something, he then sensed small amounts of reiatsu Din laughed at a pathetic attempt to distract him "Zack....that's not smart...Would you please Roushahauringu Seek his spirit?!" Din said to his left zanpakuto as it started to jitter with a life of its own, then it shot out in front of Din almost like a magnet pointing towards its target, Din felt his zanpakuto point into higher almost equal elevation...."launch after me eh?" Din said as he prepared a perfect defensive position charging his body with small amount of green lightning hoping that would either blind Zack if concentrated into a beam of light or to release its own reiatsu for Din to see tenfold for a grueling fight in the dark...

"Okay, now this is where things start to get a bit difficult, but because you've done what I've told you so far, I'm sure you'll get to it without too much trouble." He said, walking beside the girl and smiled. Putting his hands on his sides, he began to instruct the girl about the next step of their training.

"I want you to close your eyes and concentrate on making a reiatsu ball on both your hands. Now, I want you to imagine your zanpakuto and it will form out from the reiatsu ball. Don't restrict yourself with anything, let the ideas in your head flow and just think of creating your zanpakuto. What would it look like? How would it feel? Those kinds of things. Whatever your weapon may look like, don't forget, a zanpakuto is a reflection of it's user's personality." He said, still smiling.

"It may take you a few tries, but I believe you can do it in one try. You have great potential, after all." He praised, sitting on the ground as he waited for what the girl would do.
