Seeing Peishin walk away from Itsuru they both went on there seperate ways.
Peishin Louh seemed to be going to the 4th Squad and Zak Itsuru and Husky-Kun headed to the academy.
"
You asked me to call you "big brother" but can you atleast call me "little brother" Nii-san."--- ONE WEEK LATER ---
Itsuru is in his room wearing his academy uniform he is lying on his bed, he seemed relaxed and smiling too and talking to himself.
"From that 5th Squad drinking party... When I first met you, you had a father figure feel about you." said Itsuru as he smiled looking at his shattered shield.
Itsuru got out of his bed and inspected the writing on the sheild that he never noticed before, reading
"Nothing Will Crush You - Yakuru" Itsuru happiness bursted out seeing that his rival wrote something of encouragement and motivation.
As the young academy student went to his wardrobe he took his asauchi bag and his ugly scimitar with him.
"This scimitar, was given to me as punishment for not drawing my asauchi and for carrying Koori Jun, but now I think I am ready, it's a shame nobody will come and see me do it."
Itsuru wrote a note and attached it on his door.
"I'm under a waterfall if anyone needs me, Zak Itsuru" and drawn himself doing the rock-on gesture.
Itsuru now running his hand on the winter2spring wall and was about to leave the academy and go somewhere quiet but he took some time to look around the academy before he sets off.
Itsuru was looking at the other students practicing zanjutsu and getting their butts whooped my Mitsurugi sensei.
The young boy quickly turned away and moved on to the next window seeing all the students inside the class sitting outside of a blue mat and the walls are surrounded by mirrors one of them is wearing black and showing the students the art of Hakuda.
Itsuru was leaning by the window to watch Beak Doo San preform the start of his lesson and gave Itsuru a friendly wave.
Finally we went to the empty training ground where he learnt to do Kido for the first time and where Senpai asked Itsuru to call him Nii-san from now on, he stood infront of the training dummy and prodded the dummy and...
"Art of Destuction Numba 4: Byakurai"
Itsuru smiled for a very long time ever since he trained with Nii-san we wanted to see Peishin during his shift but Itsuru felt like he needed a break from him and went to find the nearest waterfall he could find he havn't had to fight his teenage angst for a long time.
After he done some shopping for some sweet and chilli sauce, the young boy found a waterfall, it was surrounded by trees and grass and full of cold, smooth rocks, he took his asaushi from the waist and took off his gi and puts on on his waist.
Itsuru was sitting under the waterfall his left hand on his hilt and his right hand on his sheath, he can hear Peishin's voice calling out to him what he said to him a month ago.
"It'd do you no good if I pulled it out. I can do it anytime.
You have to do it, Itsuru-kun, by facing and overcoming your fears. It might sound like I'm not helping you, but I am. After all, what will you do the next time you need to fight? Will you carry around an unsheathed blade for the rest of your life?"
Itsuru finally understood what Peishin was trying to say to him, he can hear his heart beat and he is breathing very deeply inhaling and exhaling with his nose his lungs filled up with the cool oxygen. the water raining and running down on Itsuru's hair
Itsuru can imagine all of his friends and enermies holding the hilt with Itsuru he felt like... he was ready... ready to overcome his fear of fighting.
"No, I won't carry around that unsheathed, unguarded scimitar anymore, this... in my hand... is my true weapon, besides Nii-san, what will I do if I need to defend myself and protect those who need it?"
Itsuru pulled his asauchi and heard a clink from the sheath, he opened his eyes, he started to look down at his cobalt asauchi, Itsuru pulled out his asauchi slowly.
Itsuru's sword is finally out he can hear the blade whistle and he can see the light reflecting from his virgin asauchi, Itsuru was satisfied to draw his sword for the first time.
"Hey, my name is Zak Itsuru." Laughed Itsuru as he greeted his asauchi.
"OK, why am I talking to a weapon?"
The young academy student turned and attached his cobalt asauchi to his waist he steped forward to his scimitar, Itsuru picked it up and looked at it one last time before destorying it.
"A long time ago, everyone, the students, the teachers, Yakuru AND
You were the ones who held me back, I'm sorry but I have no need of you anymore, You're in for a Zak Attack!" said Itsuru as he was ready to throw.
Itsuru threw it in the air and he was ready to destroy his ugly sword for good, this could have been the sword that could have feared him to draw for the rest of his shinigami life.
"Art of Destuction Numba 4: Byakurai"
White lighening came out of Itsuru's fingers and the scimitar broke, Itsuru felt the weight of his shoulders has lifed and sat down under the waterfall again with his cobalt asauchi suddenly Itsuru's stomache rumbled.
"Aww man, i'm starving, I could go for Peishin-Nii's pork dumplings right now." Laughed Itsuru as he was sitting under the waterfall with deep thoughts in his mind. ;D
