The wolf of time ( Bleach fanfiction)

chapter 5

Tala pov

"Tala!!." Screamed Ichigo before I closed the door, and left him and Tessai alone in the room. Just thinking about it made me giggle out aloud before walking to the kitchen where dad was standing in front of the stove with a pan in his hand and looked like a lost puppy.

Just seeing him with the pan, and in front of the stove made me ran at him faster than the speed of light, and grabbed the pan out from his hand.

" Oh no, you don't," I said with a warning voice and stood between him and the stove.

Dad blinked in surprise before smiling at me. " Ah good morning Tala, I was on my way to make some breakfast."

"Yeah, not a chance dad. " I said and pointed the pan at him. " Last time you cooked, you made a big mess all over the kitchen, and it took weeks to clean it up."

And that was true, one day when I was at school and Tessai and the other was out to do some errands. Dad decided to cook something on his own, and I don't know what he mixed together. But when i got home that day, I saw the whole kitchen covered in something slimy from top to bottom that sat hard against the kitchen surface.

I was really mad that day, and it took weeks for me and Tessai to clean it up, and we used over 25 cleaning bottles.

Dad laugh. " Alright, alright. I won't cook anything, but let me cut the vegetable at least. Am very good with a knife." He lifted up a knife and looked very proud. " Its very similar to a sword, and I let you know I was one of the best swordsmen at the soul society."

" Oh really," I said and glanced at the ingredients that were lying in the counter, and shook my head. " Alright, but don't destroy the counter or anything else."

Dad chuckled and walked over to the counter and before I could even blink he had already cut all the vegetable in just one swing.

" Wow," I said and looked at the perfect cute pieces on the counter.

" That's amazing."

" Why do you sound so surprised?. I told you I was a good swordsman."

" When it comes to food, its hard to believe you without seeing it for real," I said and begin to cook. " Say, dad, you are going to train me and the other today. But where can we train without anybody seeing us or disturb us?."

" Oh you see, I have the perfect place for us to train without anybody disturbing us." He sounded so sure when he said that, and I couldn't help to stare after him while he walked to the table, and wonder what sort of place he was planning for us to train.

But I got my answer after Inou and Sado came over, and we all got some breakfast in our stomach. And dad showed us a secret door that was hidden under all the wooden boxes in the stockroom.

" Has the door always been there?." I asked and stared down at the pitch black opening in the floor.

" Yes, this door has been here before you were even born."

I stared at dad in surprise and wonder how I could have missed this door all this year. I have lived in this house, all my life, and played hide and seek many times. And the stockroom was always my go-to hiding place. But I never saw the sign of a door existing in here.

"Now, Let's get down to our training ground. " Said Dad happily and begin to climb down a metal ladder that I didn't see, down in the dark hole.

" Come on everybody."

I glanced at Ichigo and the other who climbed down after dad, without even saying anything, while I just stood there and stared down at the pitch black hole and gulped.

" Alright," I took a deep breath and begin to climb down after the other, but I almost had a heart attack when i had climbed down the ladder for a while and couldn't see the light from above me anymore. " Oh lord." I looked down and only saw darkness below me.

" Dad!!. How far down is this ladder going?."

" Just a little more, moonlight. Just be careful at the end of the tunnel."

Ichigo's voice begin to ring through the darkness.

" Don't tell me you are scared of the dark, Tala?."

"Oh no, and not scared of climbing down a ladder in a where tight space tunnel in complete darkness," I said angrily and tried to not look down.

" So you are scared of the dark."

"No!!. Am not!." I screamed down at him and felt how my breathing got heavier, and sweat begins to run down my forehead. "It's not the darkness am scared of."

A while later I could finally see some light under me and I could breath out in relief. But when I was finally was out of the tunnel, I almost lost my grip of the ladder in surprise when saw the training ground dad was talking about. This was a thousand times bigger when I thought it would be.

" Wow," I said while climbing down the last part of the ladder and looked around.

" How big is this place?."

Dad appeared behind me with a proud smile. "It's a little bigger than the city."

"What!." I looked around again, and couldn't believe this place existed under the house.

Dad clapped his hands together to gets everybody's attention and had a serious face.

" Alright, we don't have a long time to train you for rescuing Rukia, but we teach you so much that you can survive at the soul society." He turned to Ichigo who was still covered in bandages. " Ichigo, you have to train with your body for now. You will train against Ururu."

"What!." Ichigo turned to Ururu in surprise and back at dad. " Can she really fight?."

"Oh yes," said dad and turned to Ururu. " She is much stronger than you think."

"I won't hold back." Said Ururu and bowed.

"Tessai will train Inou and Sabo." Dad turned to me and looked at his walking stick in deep thought. " I will train you Tala, but you need to train with your real form."

"My real form?." I asked in surprise before he pressed the bottom of the walking stick hard against my forehead, and then i felt a painful feeling like something was ripping me apart before I landing on the ground on my back.

" Ouch!." I rubbed my forehead and glared at my dad. " That hurt!." I screamed loudly and was on my way to stand up before I saw my lifeless body lying in front of me with wide open eyes.

"AHHH!!!." I screamed aloud and backed away while breathing heavily.

Dad chuckled at me and appeared beside me and gently lifted me up on my feet.

" Calm down, Tala. Everything is okay."

Ichigo chuckled. " I had the same reaction to when that happened to me the first time too."

Inou walked over to me and had stars in her eyes and looked at me with amaze.

"Wow, you look amazing Tala."

"Huh?." I stared at her confused and looked down at myself to see I was now dressed in a long dark blue coat, with a white top, black shorts and black boots that was going all the ways to my knees. But other than that I couldn't see any other difference.

"I think you need to look at yourself in the mirror." Said, dad, before he turned me to a big mirror I didn't see was there, before gently punched me to it.

When i was in front of the mirror, I was shocked by my own reflection, and just stood there like a statue. Wonder if my eyes were playing tricks on me.

My whole appearance was different, my white hair was skinnier and longer than it was before, and my eyes was more wolf-like. But then the most surprising was the fluffy white ears that poked up on my head and the white wolf tail that poked out under the coat.

I grabbed the ears and pulled on them to be sure they were real.

"What the?." I looked down at the tail before looking at dad who smiled but looked very serious at me.

" That's the real you, Tala."
