The first thing I did after arriving in the human world, was go to Urahara's shop, since it was already night. I landed in front of Urahara's and walked up and knocked softly on the door. No one answered, and so I opened the door and walked in. I found Tessai was in the kitchen. I walked into the kitchen. "Tessai-san?" I called out. He quickly turned around holding a knife and I smiled at him and he quickly put it down. "Sorry, no one answered when I knocked." I said.

"No problem at all. Sorry for not hearing you. Would you like some food?" he asked.

"I was hoping to talk with Urahara.. but since he's not here, I guess I could eat." I said and he nodded and I sat on the ground in the other room, waiting for the food to be done. I held Kyln in my hand and sighed, placing my sword next to me. Even if Urahara didn't want to train me, I want to know if I could even learn Bankai in the first place.

~~~

Urahara came back after I had finished eating and I stared at him and he stared at me. "What a surprise." he smiled at me, opening his fan.

I smiled and stood up, and picked up Kyln as well. "I'm just going to get to the point, Do you think it's possible for me to learn Bankai, if I had fused with my Zanpakuto?" I asked him.

".. Start from the beginning." he said sitting down. I sat down next to him and told him the story of how I got my Zanpakuto. I even gave him my sword to check out. He would look at me and my sword constantly. "Have you tried talking to this, Kyln of yours?" he asked and I shook my head.

"I don't know if it's because we haven't tried so there's no connection, or if it is even possible." I said.

"Follow me." Urahara said standing up. He led me down the hall and into a separate room, opening a hatch on the floor and jumping down. I jumped down after him and looked around seeing it was similar to the cave back in Seireitei.

"First things first, try establish communication with your Zanpakuto. Then we will work on physical manifestation, then we can work on your bankai." he said.

"So it is possible." I said sitting on a rock.

"I don't see why we shouldn't try." he smiled and I sighed nodding. I crossed my legs and closed my eyes.

Even though I was doing this, I didn't know how to call out to Kyln, should I say his name? Should I be trying to sense him? Or do I have to summon him? I took a deep breath and let it out. "Kyln... I want to talk to you.." I thought in my head. "Please?" I asked. I felt a pressure on my shoulders dn I opened my eyes and turned around and there was no one there. I looked at Urahara and he nodded, and motioned for me to continue. I relaxed again and closed my eyes. "I want to see you Kyln." I thought and waited for something to happen.

"Then open your eyes." I heard and opened one eye seeing a large lake in front of me. I looked down and I was sitting on some grass. "Kyln?" I called out, and nothing happened.

"Right here." I turned and saw him walking towards me, in his human form.

"I wanted to talk to you." I said standing up.

"I know." he smiled and walked up next to me.

"Is it cause we share a soul? or share a body?" I asked not knowing what exactly we share.

"You could say that." he smiled and looked at the lake in front of him.

"Where is this place?" I asked him.

"I don't know." he said.

"You don't know?" I looked at him, confused.

"Just thought of it, we are in your mind. I thought it'd be a calm place to talk." he said and I looked out at the lake.

"It is calming." I smiled sitting back down.

I heard him laugh, "You had questions?" he asked and I nodded.

"First of all, Do you know if it's possible for me to learn bankai?" I asked him.

"It's not impossible." He said to me.

"Why do you say it like that?" I asked him.

"Since we fused together, your bankai wouldn't be the same as others. Instead of your sword evolving to the next stage, it would be you that's evolving." he said to me.

"... Sounds painful." I mumbled.

"It is." he said sitting next to me.

"So it's better that I don't learn it?" I asked.

"Since our bodies have fused, your body has become far stronger. You may have noticed in your fight with Aizen or mock fights with your team mates in your squad, but, you don't injure easily." he said to me and I nodded.

"Aizen cut me, but I wasn't injured, only my clothes ripped." I said putting a hand over my arm.

"Exactly." he said and held my arm. "It may not look, or feel like it, but your skin is as strong as my Kirin dragon scales." he said. "By learning Bankai, you'd be making use of my full power. You are much to young for that still." he said placing a hand on my head.

I smiled looking at his reflection in the water, "Kyln, I want to be stronger... those 3... Aizen and the other 2.. are strong.. even with the strength of your scales.. I want to protect my friends and family." I said to him.

He seemed to be thinking. "If you really want to... learn Bankai, I can make it so that you gain all the effects of Bankai, the transformation and all, but only a portion of my power, and for a limited time." he said.

"Really?" I smiled at him and he nodded.

"But in doing this, when the time wears off, you will be weak, and at that time, you can be easily cut by a blade and killed." he said to me.

"How long would it last? The Bankai, and cool down period I mean." I asked.

"The Bankai... depending on how much power I give, an hour at most if I give you a quarter (25%)." he said and I nodded. "Then the cool down, will only be 30 minutes with my healing speed." he said and I nodded. "The day that you fully master our Bankai, you wouldn't have to worry about the cool down period." he said.

"Why is that?" I asked.

"Have you not noticed?" he asked me.

"Noticed what?" I asked.

"Your Reiatsu. It has changed." he said to me.

"What do you mean?" I asked him.

"When you fused with me, your reiatsu and mine began to fuse as well." he said and I nodded knowing this. He then drew 2 circles in the air and they looked like they were made of yarn. "This one is your reiatsu, and this one mine. When we fused," and small threads came out from the 2 circles and connected in the middle. "they connected, and as years go by, they start becoming one." he said and more threads came out of the circles and forming one circle in the middle.

"So, our reiatsu is still in the fusing stages?" I asked and he nodded. "Does that mean our Reiatsu is unstable?" I asked.

"Not necessarily." he said. "You might not expect this, but our emotions are also linked together." he said. "It's not easy to get creatures like me upset. When we do get upset, things don't go so well." he said and I nodded. "You, are relatively patient, but when you get upset, I do as well, which could cause unforeseen circumstances." he said and I nodded.

"So before learning Bankai, I should keep my emotions in check." I said and he nodded.

"I'm not saying to become cold and heartless. I'm saying to try not let things bother you. See the bigger picture. Don't get tunnel vision." he said and I nodded.

"If I were to learn Bankai, would we be.. I don't know.. speaking to each other mentally? Or would I be on my own?" I asked him.

"We'd be fighting together, so we can talk mentally." he said smiling at me. "Is that all you have to ask?" he asked.

"Yes, for now." I nodded.

"In the future, if you have any questions, just ask." he said.

"You mean like just ask in my head, or do I have to come back to this place again?" I asked.

"Whichever you prefer." he smiled at me. "Goodbye." he said and the lake started to disappear and my surroundings became black, the last thing I saw was Kyln, then nothing.

(I couldn't find the picture I used as visual reference last time, so I'm using this one)
