Bleach: Fall and Rise

25: Grab

2 days later, Agnia's POV 

Walking into Hasine's room that she's sharing with Hinamori, putting some towels down on the chair in the corner of the room when I saw the sword beside Hasine's bed, walking over I crouched down to study it, it was a simple katana but the guard is in the shape of a cross and the handle cloth covering it is pure silver, the metal underneath was white, not sheet metal gray, it fits her for some reason.

'I'm going to regret this but I want to try some moves.' I thought standing up and picking it up and slowly copying with what I saw Hasine do when she was sparring with Iba a few hours after getting here in the backyard" what are you doing with my sword?" Hasine asked loudly, startling me as she walked into the room" I'm trying some of your moves, I couldn't help it I'm sorry." I said.

 "If you have been wielding it for a week or more then you would've started to imprint on it like you're doing right now." She said, my eyes widened looking down at the sword, and I quickly but carefully sheathed it" I only handled it for seconds before you came in and I don't have any spiritual power." I said," you do, you have a little bit more power than the others but not crazy like the captains or vice captains of the Gotei 13." Hasine said.

"Oh great so now a little piece of my soul has been imprinted into your sword?" I asked," no, several seconds is way too little time to imprint, it takes 11 months to do so and then the zanpaktou spirits are born, those 11 months the wielder and the sword have to stay together 24/7 which also includes sparring with each other to strengthen the said bond." She explained.

"Even if I wanted to I don't think I'd be able to even imprint on an asauchi." I said," some people are, and other people aren't, and resort to succeeding in kido class to fight." Hasine said," how do you know all of that?" I asked," I've been in the academy for nearly 10 months and 5 classmates couldn't imprint no matter how hard they tried, they weren't concentrating right but Amihan is still giving them a chance." Hasine said.

"So nearly 10 months in the academy, has your sword spirit started to form?" I asked," he's forming yes, actually, he's been evolving every 2 months." She said" what do you mean he? Every female shinigami has a female weapon spirit and male shinigami have a male spirit with only a few rarities like yourself." I said," I guess I'm one of a kind." She said" one question, what do you mean your spirit is evolving?" I asked.

"Close the door." Hasine said, I did so and turned back to her" why does the door have to be closed?" I asked" when I tell you this don't tell anyone else in this house, I'm an archangel sent here to help the Shinigami with a future battle that'll decide the fate of creation, alone they'll fall but with me and a few of my brethren at my side we can win and if we don't eternal darkness will mean the end of days.

What I meant about my zanpaktou spirit evolving is the stages of evolution of an angel, the trumpet blower, the 3 stages of a butterfly angel, the skull wing angel, and finally the archangel. It's been 6 months since I got my zanpaktou and it's been 4 months since my spirit entered the riskiest stage of evolution, the skull wing stage where he can't fall to temptation or his urges or he'll revert back to the trumpet blower stage, once he gets through it he'll be home free as an archangel." She explained.

"So it's a psychological battle from here on out." I said" exactly and it's only like 6 1/2 months for me to keep him from falling into any temptation." She said," so in that time you're strengthening your bond with him." I said" bingo." Hasine said," good luck until spring." I said.

"I went through that stage for 700 years myself, I know what I'm doing and I can teach him the same technique and if it requires battle to squash temptation then I'll fight him." She said when Hinamori came into the room and grabbed her sword.

"Are you coming? Aleksander found his old sword and wants to spar with one of us." She said" sure, want to watch?" Hasine asked," yes I do." I said as she grabbed her sword and we walked out, me praying that everything will turn out well for Hasine and her sword spirit.
