You grin, waving her off. “Tell ya later. How’d it go with you? Tsukuya-chan couldn’t make much progress, and Shin’s still tryin’ in his own way.”
She smiles at that, looking at the sword in her hand. “It went well, actually. I couldn’t make any progress whatsoever.”
Now it’s your turn to raise an eyebrow, confused. “How’s not making any progress having things go well?”
“Because I know why. I managed to meet my zanpakuto spirit.”
Now that caught your attention. “You met it? And spoke to it?”
“Them.” She corrected you quietly. “And that’s why I wasn’t able to make any progress. I have two zanpakuto spirits, and they can’t both imprint onto one asauchi, so I need another.”
This was getting more and more interesting by the second. “So you’re a dual type? Like Kyoraku-taicho?”
“Kyoraku?” She asked, curious. Tsukuya also looked at you with the same curiosity, no doubt recognising the name as one of the noble houses.
“Kyoraku Shunsui, one of the oldest Captains in the Gotei 13. He and Ukitake-taicho are the only ones with dual type zanpakuto, but of the two of them, only Kyoraku-taicho has two blades, even when his zanpakuto is sealed.” You tapped your sword against your shoulder where it had been resting this entire time, it feeling so natural in your hand that you’d almost forgotten it was there. “That is, before you apparently.”
“I see.” Kazeko said simply, taking in the information. “I hadn’t realised it was so rare a phenomenon. Regardless, I’ll need to ask for a second asauchi.”
She then turned to you. “What are you going to do? I assume you’re done with training for the day.”
You…
