Suchiru walked into Zanjutsu training grounds. He looked at some of his fellow students. "Such a proper way to sword fight.. Do I really have to learn this?" Suchiru said with a sigh. He looked up at a woman instructor who was staring oddly at him. "Hello boy, I am Torena... I will be teaching you.. The ways you are supposed to use when sword fighting... Not that nonsense you use. That is right... I have read your profile. You are a bandit who is wild and has no knowledge of the proper way of sword. You boy will learn Kendo." Suchiru just rolled his eyes and went in line for a sparring partner. "Why don't I have a partner?" He said with a sneer. The instructor sighed as she stood grabbing a wooden sword. "I know.. I could feel you reiastu from a good distance.. I would be more comfortable if we fought." Suchiru pulled out the wooden sword that was on his back. He was grinning with excitement crouching down to go at her.

The instructor stood there holding her sword in place waiting silently. Suchiru darted towards her, swing the sword upwards at her. She calmly struck the blade down and then stabbed forward, jabbing Suichiru's shoulder. Suchiru rolled back and looked at her, glaring. He got up and leaped in the air, letting out a down-slash. His reiastu was beginning to pour out off of him and his sword. The instructor was having trouble blocking the slash, because of the amount of energy that was behind it. They stayed in place for a while before he landed, he hopped back and prepared for another strike. The instructor shook her head, "You will get tired if you keep placing so much energy behind each slash." Suchiru just laugh and let more energy pour out than before. He ran to her making a large horizontal slash. The instructor went to counter it actually putting some of her reiastu. Shook her head after the blade was stopped. "I want you to hold you blade like this." She stood in a kendo stance. "Once you stand like that, make a vertical slash... Then a horizontal slash. You will repeat this until the sun goes down."

Suchiru sighed and got in the required position and began swinging his blade vertically and then horizontally. He was slashing so much it began to feel natural. He started sing faster and faster. The instructor watched from a distance as the boy continued. She was shocked to see a wild beast could somewhat learn the proper way to do things. He looked at her and smiled when the sun began to go down. "Yeah... This would probably help because the strikes are a lot stronger... Though... My way is more fun. Because then the fight will last longer...." The instructor shook her head. "Well... Your lesson is done for the day.. You have to come back everyday. To work on your form, we will tame the way of a beast."

Suchiru laughed as he began to walk away, "A woman like you... Tame me? Ha!" He began to walk out with a grin, when he felt a hand grab the back of his shirt and throw him back into the sparring grounds. "So you want to be tamed quickly I see.... That big mouth of yours has just asked me to do so." Suchiru growled at her agitation. "Bring it hag!" He sneered. Suchiru went to pull out his zanpaktou, when in no time at all the instructor was in front of Suchiru swinging her zanpakou up at him. Suchiru pulled his zanpaktou out of its sheath a bit further and then slammed the hilt down, catching the rising blade. The force of the collision knocked Suchiru into the air. The instructor appeared above him, calmly swinging down her blade. Suchiru tried not to panic, swinging up his blade to counter hers. The collision shot Suchiru crashing down into some practice dummies. Instructor Torena landed gracefully, watching him groan in pain within a pile of broken dummies. "So you were all talk boy..."

Suchiru forced his upper body up out of the broken pieces of the dummies. In the distance he could see a girl in rags in the distance. Her eyes covered by a bandanna like rag. She smiled and mouthed out something in Suchiru's direction. Even though he could not hear it, the voice seemed to echo in his head. You are so pathetic. Suchiru's body began to shake as adrinaline began shooting throughout his body. "I am not pathetic.." He muttered, as he forced himself up gritting his teeth. His eyes seemed to have fires burning within them as he glared at the instructor. Reiastu began pouring from Suchiru's body, visible to the eye. Suchiru began charging at the instructor, swinging as he ran. The instructor spun around with a grin, "Too slow.." She moved her blade to collide with his, though she began to slide backwards as Suchiru continued to charge. She began to push back, stopping him. "What is this?" Suchiru ignored her comment and began swinging recklessly the multiple blows causing her to continue to slide backwards. "Maybe I was wrong..." The instructor said, as she was blocking the hits. "Taming this beast will be a lot harder than I thought." Suchiru howled, swinging from the side, knocker her against the wall. "You think?! You want to see a beast! Then I will show you the beast, so you can start... Taming..." Suchiru leaped in the air towards her slashing down with all of his might. Torena raised her blade barely in time. Sparks flew, sizzling against her face. For once Torena became nervous. Suchiru only howled as he pushed down, his blade grinding against hers. Torena was seeing a beast that she might not be able to handle.

Suchiru frowned as he jumped back. He looked down at his zanpaktou, a scowl grew. "This blade is useless to me..." He said with a clearly spiteful tone. The instructor was shocked he would say that about his own zanpaktou, something formed from is very soul. Suchiru rolled to the side, grabbing to wooden blades that were left on the grounds. "My zanpaktou is too short to be considered a weapon... I would prefer a real katana or a nodachi... Not a stupid wakizashi. These wooden toys are more of a weapon than the wakizashi zanpaktou." Suchiru spiraled towards the woman, the blades swinging in the air. Both wooden blades were ready to bash her from two different angles. The woman frowned, swinging her blade through both of the wooden swords. "Do not insult your zanpaktou... It is your only true hope in a battle." Suchiru stabbed up with the two sword halves as she talked. The blunt ends knocked into her stomach causing her to gag. Suchiru ran off to the side grabbing a practice naginata. The wooden pole-arm made him grin. "I think this will do..." He spun around and charged with it. The instructor let out a wave of reiastu to knock him down. But as the wave hit Suchiru, he merely howled with excitement releasing a large sum of his own reiastu. The teacher went to slash through the wooden blade, but Suchiru jumped into the air slashing down at her hands. She was in clear pain, and he was loving it.

Torena looked up at the young bandit. "You really are a beast..." Suchiru nodded with a grin. He swung the bottom of the naginata shaft to throw up his zanpaktou that was lodged into the ground. The blade spun quickly as it flew at her. She went to swing her sword to block it, as Suchiru swung the wooden blade of the naginata into the instructors throat. She deflected the zanpaktou and dropped her sword grabbing her throat. She began choking violently. As she was in pain, Suchiru swept her feet with the naginata. And half-way through her fall, he swung down with the wooden blade on her back. Helping her meet the ground faster. Suchiru grinned excitedly as she had fallen. Two passing students saw the instructor fall. They ran to help, but Suchiru stepped in the way. "Do not interrupt our fight..." The students grew scared, but the instructor stood nodding that she was ok. "I shall teach you the power of a zanpaktou... And why you shouldn't throw it away.... This is your last chance to fight with it... Before I beat you into the ground..." Suchiru just shook his head pridefully raising the wooden naginata. The instructor muttered out a calling phrase as she picked up her zanpaktou. Suchiru felt a rush of spiritual energy force him back. He could not see the instructor within the wave of reiastu.

The instructor stepped forward aiming her released zanpaktou at Suchiru. Suchiru laughed at the sight. It was a tanto... A tanto with a glowing blade. Suchiru erupted in a roar of laughter as he charged swinging the wooden blade. The instructor stepped to the side, swinging the dagger upwards through the shaft of the naginata and aiming the glowing blade at Suchiru's right hand. "Release..." She uttered as the blade shot into Suchiru's hand. He howled as she jumped back, a blade growing from the hilt of the tanto. She aimed it yet again, this time firing at his left hand. Suchiru howled as she was getting him good. "To tame the beast it must first be captured..." Suchiru began to charge towards her when she shot his foot with the tanto. He howled when another blade spiraled into his other foot. Suchiru fell to his knees before the instructor. She looked at him, as if she had not even had a real fight. "So was that it beast... All your instinct could do for you? And to say you almost convinced me you should stay a beast..." Suchiru looked up to see his zanpaktou off in the ground to his right. He sighed quietly. It seems I do not have any other choice, he thought to himself in disgust. He rolled to the side reaching out with his neck, biting the hilt of the zanpaktou. He forced himself to stand, doing his best to stay on his toes. He growled like a wolf with a bone in its mouth. He darted forward running on his toes before pushing with all of his might. His body shooting like a bullet towards her, he neck at an angle to strike her with the blade. She merely smiled at his efforts, leaning back and kicking up into his stomach. As he raised into the air, she aimed the tanto firing a blade into his stomach. As he was skyrocketing up he howled, the zanpaktou fell from his mouth in his cry of pain. As he landed, he forced himself to look up at her. "I will win... I will..." She shook her head. "How sure are you beast.."
