The blades and me (final)

''speak''

'Thought'

[Zanpakuto speech from the inner world]

_________________________________________________

''Now then master, to paraphrase a wise man, for the next few minutes, your my bitch master.''

''Wait for wha-''

''Shut up, bitch!!''

The mask zanpakuto said while using shunpo appeared right in front of Karmine before grabbing his face and throwing him like a ragdoll, causing Karmine to clash on the floor, leaving some crack on the floor.

''Wow, ******** was right, throwing your own master feel quite can make you feel very cathartic.'' The mask zanpakuto said

''What the hell are you even saying?'' Karmine said while slowly standing back up, ''I thought you were supposed to be the serious and noble one? It's very weird hearing you swear, you know?''

''Apologies master, but ******** keep telling all of us to try it out, to the point where it starts to get annoying, so I decide to do it so I can stop presenting on me.'' The mask zanpakuto answer

''Oh really? Then I guess that damn zanpakuto that tell you to do it is a goddamn sadist because I could die from that, you know!!''Karmine shout

''Don't worry about that, master. I will never use too much force to the point where it could kill you. Besides, there is no way you will die from a simple attack like that, considering how strong your Blut Vene is.'' The long hair zanpakuto answer.

''My, what now?''

''As I said, don't worry about that master. Now I think it is time for both of us to get a little bit more serious.'' The red mask zanpakuto quickly disappear after he finishes his sentence.

Karmine four irises eyes quickly widen before putting up his guard, and out of reflex, he spins around while swinging his sword, causing the mask zanpakuto, who shunpo behind him, to block his blade with his sword.

As quickly as this happened, the mask zanpakuto put more force onto his sword, causing both his and Karmine sword to be onto the side. After that, the mask zanpakuto drags his sword along the flat side of the Karmine blade, creating a spark while also swinging it upward.

Karmine quickly reacts and jump back, barely dodging the blade that coming toward him. But the mask zanpakuto didn't stop there; he quickly rushed forward, not giving Karmine any chance to rest or take a breather.

Karmine immediately the strike that comes toward him, causing both of them to lock sword in a stalemate.

''Not bad, master, look like you have a natural talent for fighting, and your instinct is impressive, considering this is your first fight. But ... '' The mask zanpakuto said before pushing Karmine away ''That will not be enough to defeat me!!''

With that said, the mask zanpakuto quickly used shunpo again, but this time he appeared above Karmine head before quickly swinging his sword down. Karmine quickly put his sword up to block the overhead strike.

Still, before that could happen, the mask zanpakuto disappeared and appeared in front of Karmine while swinging his sword in an upward motion toward Karmine, who was left open to do the previous faint.

'That was a faint!? I don't have enough time to change my stance!!' Karmine four irises eyes quickly look down toward the mask zanpakuto blade that is coming toward him.

Karmine knows that he will not have enough time to block the sword strike, so he quickly let go of one of his hands from the katana and uses the hand that he let go from the blade to catch the sword of the mask zanpakuto that coming toward him.

Of course, if this were any normal person, the blade would cut the handoff, but when Karmine catches the blade, blue outlines start to appear on Karmine hand that is used to catch the blade.

'Is this the Blut Vene that he was talking about? It doesn't matter, and I have no time to think about that right now.'

Using the hand that caught the mask zanpakuto blade, he quickly pulled the sword toward him, causing the mask zanpakuto to be pulled toward him as well. Karmine quickly swings his sword down toward the mask zanpakuto that is being toward him.

But the mask zanpakuto was faster to react; he quickly let go of his sword while using shunpo to dodge the attack coming from Karmine, causing it to hit the ground, creating some, while also creating some distance between him and Karmine.

The mask zanpakuto looks toward the smoke covering Karmine with an interested gaze before his eyes quickly widen and summon another sword in his hand before blocking a blade that comes toward his neck from behind him, revealing Karmine who is behind him.

'Was that shunpo? No, that was hiren-' before the mask zanpakuto can finish his thought, Karmine quickly used one of his hands to grab the zanpakuto long hair before using his knee to strike at the spine of the mask zanpakuto.

The mask zanpakuto let out a pained grunt, he tried to teleport away, but Karmine still holding on to his hair so that he could not shunpo away. Karmine quickly tries to knee the mask zanpakuto again, but the mask zanpakuto react by putting more force onto his sword, pushing Karmine blade away.

He quickly uses his sword to cut his long hair before using shunpo to dodge the knee coming toward him.

When the mask zanpakuto look back, he can see on Karmine face that he have a massive grin on his face.

'Look like we have another Kenpachi here, huh?' The mask zanpakuto thought

''I think this is enough, master. You pass the test.'' The mask zanpakuto said before dematerialising his sword.

''What?'' Karmine ask, his grin disappear while looking toward the mask zanpakuto with a surprised face.

''You pass the test, master. You were able to land a strike on me, so you passed the test.'' The mask zanpakuto answer.

''Then are you gonna tell me your name now?'' Karmine ask

''Of course not master, that test was only to see if you have enough strength to stand on your own or not, the next time you here we will properly start the test, to see if you are worthy or not.'' The mask zanpakuto said

''Wait, what do you mean next time?'' Karmine said before his body started to be cover in bright light before disappearing from his inner world.

The moment that Karmine disappears. A woman quickly appears behind the mask zanpakuto.

She has long pink hair with a faint blush on her face that seems to be on her face permanently. She also wears a traditional shinigami shihakusho, and the air around the woman seems to give off a wild and murderous aura contrasting it with her appearance.

The mask zanpakuto turn around before addressing the women in front of him.

''Nozarashi, what do you think about our new master?'' The mask zanpakuto ask

''Well, I was watching your battle, and I have to said I like him a lot. He might not act like it, but he did act a lot like my previous master when he was fighting you, Senbosakura'' The woman, whose name is Nozarashi, answers.

''Is that so? But I guess that is not the reason you are here, aren't you?'' Senbonsakura ask

Nozarashi, roll her eyes before answer ''Obviously not. I'm here so that I can talk to master at the outside about something.''

''And that is?''

''Well, it seems that when you guys were fighting, she took the opportunity to go outside from the inner world.'' Nozarashi answer.

''She? Are you referring to your bankai spirit?'' Senbonsakura ask

''Who else? It seems that she was bored and very excited to explore this new world.''

''Hm, then that just means our master would have something to deal with while in the outside world.''

~Back at the outside world~

Karmine can be seen standing while looking at someone with an intense stare.

Standing in front of him is a young girl with pink hair, dark pink eyes and a perpetual blush on her cheeks. She also wears the same cloth as Karmine, traditional shinigami robes.

The young girl can be seen looking toward Karmine with a big smile on her face.

''Hi!! Look like we finally meet K-chan!!'' The young girl said

'K-chan?' Karmine thought with a lot of questions in his head.

''Um, who are you?'' Karmine ask

''Me? I am one of your zanpakuto spirt and my name is Yachiru Kusajishi!! Nice to meet you K-chan!!''

A/n

And there is that the next chapter would properly begin the story, so I hope you are excited about that.

If you don't read the manga, you probably have no idea what kind of zanpakuto Nozarachi is and who she belongs to, so please go the read the manga. As for her appearance, I just gave her the appearance of Yachiru but older.
