Itsuru had a sudden reflex in the legs and left hand and was woken up by his newly adopted big brother.
"Now you tell me, Nii-san." said Itsuru as he had a fed-up pout on his face.
Itsuru is starting to feel spiritually exhausted from the focusing and picturing being in a black abyss but the diving in a pool was a great experiance.
"I think I'll try harder next time, it's an academy after all, no more mental and spiritual stuff for today, I'm exhausted." said Itsuru starting to feel tired.
Itsuru gave out a big yawn and stretched his arm with index and middle fingers out and pointed them at Peishin which wern't intended.
"Sai"

There was a twinge on the edge of his perception. A weak current of spiritual pressure brushed and broke against his chest, obviously it was the result of Itsuru's unfocused, unchanted spell.
"You know your own limits best, Itsuru-kun," Peishin stood up. "I can tell you're tired after concentrating so hard. Let's call it a day, and I can teach you some more stuff next week. You'd better practise, though."
He held out his hand to shake. "It's been a good lesson, Itsuru. You did well."

The next day, Itsuru, woke up in his room.
"I'm back in my room? how long have I been sleeping? thought Itsuru as he gave a huge yawn.
late at night as everyone was asleep in their dorm room, Itsuru got out of his hard futon and took out a chunky black packpack from under his bed and went to his floor hallway and went to work on the spring side of graffiti of "Winter2Spring" the wall was covered with more green grass added a tree with pink blossoms and added more red, yellows and blue flowers.
"Well I guess that's me for the night, I missed seeing those bright colours" he said to himself. and
Itsuru went back to his room to get some sleep feeling happy that he given his commitment to Peishin Onii-san (he was quite amazed to call him an older brother). Itsuru looked at his photo of his friends and went back to sleep.
recovering from his spiritual exhaustion, he felt like he can sleep through everyones lessons and he was drinking and consumming more 7up and skittles twice per normal.
--- OOC: Why did I create a charater who runs on suger? ---
Monday: During registration, Itsuru was sleeping in class as the teachers tried to wake him up, Itsuru sat up with an angry look on his face and pulled two fingers and chanted "Way of Binding Number One: Sai" and went back to sleep. (Detention! - Doing lines on the blackboard)
Tuesday: walking outside during break and seeing Mitsurugi sensei in the academy training grounds he leant on the wall. Sensei Mitsurugi walked towards Itsuru and Itsuru smiled at him as he poked his sensei in the gunshot wound. "Destructive Art Number 4: Byakurai" (Detention! - Itsuru the human dummy)
Wednesday: Itsuru snuck out of the academy to try and recap a few spells that Peishin taught him a couple of days during kido lessons. but nobody to practice on (lets be honest he couldn't practice on himself) he couldn't ask Pei-Nii (he broke his phone last time I can recall) so he asked Husky-Kun to help him pratice but his terms were... "Itsuru, you have to get a detention for this one, because you snuck out of the academy". It was a price to pay, but Itsuru had to do it. (starting to imaging Peishin's face looking disapointed if Itsuru never practiced) (Detention! - Kept in class to do Kido)
Thursay: Itsuru was paying attention to the teachers and taking notes on words he didn't know. The students wanted to see Itsuru do something to lighten their moods because they were bored. The Teachers were starting to become nervous if Itsuru is gonna do something. "I'll see him after lesson" thought the teacher. as lessons were over Itsuru heard the teacher shout "Itsuru, I want a word with you." Itsuru was starting to feel uneasy, he hasn't done anything he can think of. "What? Have I done something wrong?" asked Itsuru. the teacher nodded no and asked a question "Who are you? and what have you done to Itsuru?" Itsuru smiled at that question seeing the teachers who was impressed by his enthusiasm. "Well I'm glad to see you changed your attitude this week, well other then Mitsurugi but he is always a grumpy old man, you SHOULD really thank that person who changed your life around" said the teacher. Itsuru felt embarassed about the compliment and stroked his hair.
The 6 days slowly went by when Itsuru snuck out of classes to practicing sensing the other students spirits and praticing Kido spells, he started to feel less tired then ever since pratice with Peishin Nii-san. disapointed about not learning to do Hakuda or Zanjutsu with Peishin Nii-san, Itsuru is hoping he can do them tomorrow because Itsuru had a strange feeling he has to do them tomorrow. Itsuru went to treat himself to going to a hot-spring to just relax for a whole hour, he earned it for not sleeping through shinigami academy for one whole day. Itsuru was looking at the moon and stars with a smile on his face.
"Tomorrow Onii-san, Mitsurugi-sensei wants me to improve my Zanjutsu... or I'm in trouble." said Itsuru to himself.
Later that night Itsuru went back to his room and went to sleep.

It was exactly a week since Peishin had last seen Itsuru, and he stood outside the boy's room with his fist raised to knock. It was very early in the morning, the sun having just clambered over the distant, sloped horizon of rukongai's furthest districts. Unfortunately, although he hadn't seen the kid for a week, he had heard of him all too often since leaving him.
He knocked.

Early in the morning the sun is on Itsuru's eye lids and shining on his dirty blonde hair a gentle breeze on Itsuru's face, Itsuru turned to his side away from the sun. on his hard futon sleeping heavily after praciticng kido all week and getting detention for 3 days in a row.
--- OOC: I seem to think of the day Itsuru trained with Peishin is on Friday. ---
It seemed like someone was knocking on Itsuru's door. Itsuru seemed to be sleeping through the knock on the door, he dosn't seem to be a morning person (until 10:00am that is Itsuru's morning mood.)
"Huh? Wha?" mumbled Itsuru as he look half asleep and looking around his tidy bedroom.
Itsuru gave out a heavy yawn as he stretched out his arms and went back to bed like a ton of bricks.

Peishin heard a mumbled "Huh? Wha?" from inside, but nobody opened the door.
He frowned at the door and slid it open himself. Itsuru was in bed, lights out, sleeping heavily. The room was as tidy as the first time he'd been there but the evidence of someone living it in had begun to soften the too-clean feel of the place.
With the care and consideration a ninth seat owed to an academy student, Peishin tiptoed across the room, gingerly knelt by Itsuru, and brought his lips close to Itsuru's ear as if to whisper.
"Itsuru!" he called, quite a lot louder than the suggested whisper. "Wake up!"

Itsuru patted Peishins head and stroking his hair thinking he is Husky-Kun. "Ok, Husky-Kun, Ok, just gimme 30 more minutes?" yawned Itsuru. Itsuru started to wake up on his futon and looked out of the window reaching to his desk starting to feel confused. "Hey Husky-Kun, ya would you mind to fetch me the dnL would ya? and why would you want to wake me up so early?" Itsuru who is rubbing the sleep dust out of his eyes looked at Peishin but not in a "Good Morning, Onii-san" instead Itsuru wraped a duvet around his waist with his arms folded and a blue fiery background. "Did Tenshi brought you up to this?" said Itsuru Itsuru politely pushed Peishin nii-san out of his room, smiled and closed the door and went to the balcony and shouted. "Tenshi do you think that was gonna work? it'll be a millennium before you get to draw me... WITH Onii-san! there IS a law for THAT you know!, when I get my hands on you I'm gonna!..." Itsuru stopped he looked around, no Tenshi, Itsuru shruged his shoulders and gave a "muh" and went back to his room to get dressed. Itsuru changed his loincloth and puts yesterdays one in the shiro bin and puts on his academy uniform from his desk. "Sorry about that Nii-san, come in! ^^" --- OOC: It's kinda like a version of this... ---

OOC:
You fixed most of my issues ^.^ so I've edited out my criticisms. Arigato. -----------
Peishin held in his laughter until Itsuru had shoved him out of the room, and let it flood out as the door slid shut behind him. He doubled over, hands on knees, and guffawed until several heads emerged from neighbouring rooms.
"Sorry guys," he said, fighting down his mirth, "go back to bed, it's nothing to worry about."
Grumbling and swearing, the students disappeared back to bed. He felt bad for having woken them, but it couldn't be helped. One student remained, watching him, a young man with shaggy black hair.
"Can I help you?" Peishin asked him politely.
The young man had anervous smile. He smiled it and shook his head. "Just wondering what Itsuru's done now."
"Extra lessons," he explained. "Careful, or you'll get 'em too, and you don't look as tough as he is."
The young man's eyes widened and he quickly withdrew.
"Sorry about that nii-san, come in."
It was Itsuru's voice, coming from behind him. Peishin hadn't noticed the door open, and he didn't bother turning. Instead he pushed away from the wall and beckoned his young comrade to follow him.
"This isn't a social call, Itsuru-kun," he said over his shoulder. "Come on, time to learn."

"Oh, ok, Peishin-Nii, I'll go get my colbalt twins and I'll be right there" said Itsuru as he went to his wardrobe.
Itsuru went to his wardrobe and slid the left door he we looking behind his wash bin and shock horror Itsuru's Asauchi's were gone (or stolen) starting to freak out, moved his wash bin out, slid the other door and there was a black chunky bag (the one with the spray paint) and threw that on the floor Itsuru is starting to panic.
"What the? Where did my colbalt twins go? I swore I put them there a week ago."
Itsuru sat down on his futon trying to calm down remember, he then clicked his fingers.
"No I didn't, now I remember... I passed out in spiritual training so I couldn't return my gear in their normal places, since you were the last one training with me Peishin-Nii, Where did you put my gear?" asked Itsuru.
Itsuru is looking under his bed and there was Koori Jun lying on the floor he unzipped his bag and...
"Geez, first my colbalt twins, NOW my blades?" said Itsuru starting to panic.
Itsuru got his back against the wall taking a deep breathed in and out it seemed like nobody wanted Itsuru to practice with Peishin Nii-san today he didn't carry around Koori Jun for the six days, Itsuru was sure that Peishin would've taken great care of his gear while he passed out.
"Ok Zak, Ok, just calm down."

"Ok," said Peishin over his shoulder, "next thing I'm gonna do is get rid of that board."
After all, it was just a safety blanket to the boy. He had a sword and he had his muscles and he had his skills. After all that what did anybody need of an artificial shield? He had kido and was getting better every day... did Itsuru need a simple bit of plastic to make himself whole?
Peishin knew he didn't.
"Put it to one side, Itsuru-kun," he said. "It won't do you any good in today's lesson."

"Ok, next thing I'm gonna do is get rid of that board." "How could someone tell me to get rid of Koori Jun?" thought Itsuru. That only weapon that helped him out before coming to the academy, he is starting to feel like Peishin wants Itsuru to be like everyone else. "Put it to one side, Itsuru-kun, It won't do you any good in today's lesson." "Now I feel naked" said Itsuru as he was rubbing his shoulder. Itsuru went under his desk and took one bottle of 7up, he looked at his photo frame. "I'll see you guys soon but... If I don't make it" Itsuru paused in a middle of his sentance and pointed at Peishin hoping he'll have a guilty conscience. "Blame it on Peishin-Nii and hunt him down." said Itsuru as he was giving Peishin a banter. Itsuru looked at Peishin and smiled. "Ok Peishin-Nii, let's go." said Itsuru as he left his room. In the hallway Itsuru touched Winter2Spring, he seemed to have something on his mind about Peishin giving him permission on calling him Nii-san Itsuru stopped and leaned on the spring side of the grafitti. "Err, Nii-san? Can I have a word with you before we start training?" Itsuru had to ask, he was thinking about this all week ever since Itsuru over-came his "inner emo" and Peishin's "channel-changing" when Peishin asked Itsuru if he was a man or a mouse? "Last week you asked me to call you Nii-san, how come?"

He was pleased to see Itsuru follow orders promptly, and laughed inside at the boy's efforts to make him feel guilty. Academy students, he thought. They always start out like that.
He noticed Itsuru had stopped by his graffiti, and looked around expectantly.
"Last week you asked me to call you nii-san," Itsuru said. "How come?"
"Why ask, Itsuru-kun?" Peishin smiled. "Have I offended you with my informality?"

Itsuru got off the wall shocked his head.
"Oh no, I'm not offended at all, It just feels abit odd, you see I was adopted and an only child, so never had siblings."
Itsuru went down the flights of stairs with Peishin and kept in the conversation about family.
"you see Peishin-Nii, I've lost and gained a family in one day, I've lost my real parents when I was eight so I stayed with my adopted Dad, he was an officer and I was a real bad kid, I always got involed into fights, broke school rules and got kicked out of school alot, I'm glad he saw the good in me and turned my life around."
As Itsuru and Peishin got out of the door Itsuru scratched the back of his hair and looked at Peishin with a smile.
"Well, ever since I first met you, you had that "father figure" about you. But sure I'll call you Peishin-Nii but if you want to call me Zak-Ototo then I don't mind."
Itsuru changed the subject and gave an inquisitive look at Peishin sure he tried to ask for the first time and it didn't went too well for him so Itsuru had to ask again...
"Hey, Peishin-Nii, tell me about yourself?"
Itsuru quickly got out his black beanie from his pocket and put it on.
"Just don't pull my hair this time"

OOC;
what is "ototo"? i haven't come across that word before.
----
"You're a funny kid, Itsuru."
Like last time, Peishin raised his hand to Itsuru's head. This time however he didn't grab a fistful of hair, he just patted the boy gently before dropping his hand and continuing on his way.
"You didn't have any brothers or sisters," he repeated, his voice high-pitched and drawn-out. "I'm beginning to understand your nerves, but you have to realise that very few people in Soul Society have real family."
He listened to Itsuru talk for a while, quite affected by his term 'father figure'.
"I didn't know that you were a violent kid. You'd never guess it from the way you act now." He looked sad, suddenly. "Unfortunately that spirit is what you need now. You need to be able to reach inside and bring out that fire, but you also need to control it rather than letting it control you."
He listened some more, and laughed at "just don't pull my hair this time".
"I didn't grab you because I was offended, Itsuru-kun. It was a lesson. Don't ignore a superior's orders, you know? Some people aren't as gentle as I am," he gave Itsuru the thumbs-up. "Anyway, what do you want to know about me? Mine's is a long story and it gets a bit boring to hear it all at once."

--- OOC: Ototo it's Japanese for "little brother", fell free to correct me if I'm wrong. ---
Seeing Peishin do that cheesy "thumbs up" Itsuru got Peishin's index and pinky out, he laughed when Peishin would warn him his story is long and boring so Itsuru had just smiled.
"Oh Come on, I told you almost everything about myself, you don't have to tell me your WHOLE life story and you can always leave out the boring bits." suggested Itsuru
--- Meanwhile, in Floor Two the young man with the short shaggy black hair that Peishin was talking to was looking out of the window, he seemed to be making a quick phone call to someone.
"Hey Yakuru, ya'know why we havn't seen that Itsuru kid for a long time? well I know where he is going."
