Ignoring the way that call made her skin crawl, Karin rolled up her sleeves. "If you think it will help," she said, drawing her blade.
Her eyes narrowed a moment later as the first hollow appeared. A blind one with a long tongue it tasted the air. "This one is the freak," she said, running at it and cutting off its head. She stepped back then jumped as an insect one with a mask appeared. She backflipped and cut through one wing and then stabbed its mask. It roared and disintegrated. Another one appeared in its place. She grinned grimly. "I am not something tasty, noodle creep!" She slew that one and then winced as her blade sparked twice.
She glared as two appeared at once. "Did you put some kind of bait on me?" she growled. "Why are they all going for me and not you?" She fired a Kido blast and kicked the other in the eye with her leg.

Ichigo grinned and cupped his hands around his face. "Maybe they like you, Karin. Or maybe you got all male hollows." Ichigo blinked then turned to Kisuke. "Uh... Do hollows this weak even have a male and female distinction?"

Kisuke laughed at the both of them shaking his head as he looked to Karin. "We are trying to wake up you zanpakuto. This is not a kido lesson. Use your sword not your limbs and kido, child!"
He adjusted his hat still shaking his head. "Next level!" Kisuke yelled out as a bigger stronger hollow appeared in front of Karin.

"Fine," Karin said, dispelling some of the reiatsu in her arms. She braced her blade before her, irritated as another spark went up her arm, kind of numbing it. She shook her hand out and shunpo'ed behind the lumbering hollow, cutting off one limb and then slashing it through the face.
"Look behind you," Ichigo called out. Karin flipped into the air and backflipping, clipped the hollow with her leg, before cutting it down the middle.
She cursed as a visible spark ran up her arm. "Damn, that hurt!" she snarled.

"Come on, Karin! You have to show her the sparks don't bother you! Ignore them and focus on the hollows! Find some way to tie your hands to your sword if you have to! Just keep going!" Ichigo shouted in encouragement. Her zanpakuto was even beginning to irritate him with as hard of a time she was giving Karin. Zangetsu wasn't even this stubborn. He shook his head. "I really hope this works."

Kisuke sighed nodding his head as he adjusted his hat. "I think she is waiting to see if Karin is worthy of her powers. Some zanpakuto are just bullhead like that." He looked around sending out his next call for a higher-level hollow.
When he did a rather large group headed Karin's way. Kisuke watched as Karin's eyes widened and Ichigo looked to Kisuke growling his fist clenched.
"Kisuke! What the hell are you doing!? She is not ready for this!" Ichigo screamed at him.
Kisuke only smiled as he watched the fun.

Karin's surprise was quickly replaced by rage. "Fine," she growled, "you want a piece of me then you better catch me!" She altered her stance, shunpo'd past two, cutting into both masks and finishing them off as they roared in pain. She growled as a series of sparks ran up her arm but didn't complain, shunpo'ing backwards to avoid a tail from the largest of the group.
The heads turned to face her. Her eyes narrowed, focusing on one whose tongue was tasting the air. "I am really NOT on the menu!" she hollered, lunging forward and stabbing it in the eye. The tongue froze and disintegrated.
Too late she realized her mistake as the same tail came swinging at her. She blocked with her arms as the tail flung her into the wall of the box.
She grunted, barely holding onto her sword, then narrowed her eyes and chopped it off when it reappeared in her vision.
A visible lick of flame rippled up her arm, stinging her as she stood and charged finishing 'tailless' off.

Ichigo watched as his baby sister started to struggle a little more every wave. He wanted more than anything to help her, but he knew he couldn't. "Come on Karin. You can do this. Put that bullheaded spirit in her place."

Kisuke huffed in annoyance. "I can't believe this zanpakuto. How much harder are we going to have to hit her?" Kisuke sent out another call as another wave of stronger hollows appeared.
"If this don't work. I don't know what will." Kisuke watched as they started pushing Karin back.

Karin growled shunpo'ing into another corner. Her arm was starting to ache from the constant spark and licks of flame that kept appearing and now the hollows were getting more difficult to cut. Her eyes narrowed. And more intelligent. They were slowly forcing her to stay in her corner and staying just out of reach of her asauchi. Her hand tightened around the hilt of her blade, wondering if she should use Kido.
"Karin, look out!" Ichigo called from somewhere. Just in time too as one of the hollows shot out something like acid.
She jumped to the side and then froze as one of her feet stuck in something goo-like.
Damn it!
The hollows roared in what sounded like victory.
Glaring, she stared them down.
Would it kill you to lend a hand, she muttered towards her zanpakuto.
One hollow lumbered away from his fellows. Just as flame licked at his nose. It reared back.
You still haven't given up, even when you're cornered, came a smooth, relaxed voice inside her head. A large feline rubbed her head against her neck. She turned and a tiger smiled slowly. That's a promising trait.
Do I get your name now? Karin groused back.
Maybe, the voice purred. Are you asking?
Karin's eyes darted to the hollows in front of her and noticed a few had pulled away from her. It seemed her brother had finally had enough of them.
Well? Her zanpakuto's tail twitched.
Yes, yes, I am asking.
Well then... look to your left.
She did and glared as a hollow emerged from the goo and opened its mouth.
That's a good face, the feline murmured. She purred and whispered something in her ear.
"HOMURA!" she cried out. Flame enveloped her blade and then shot forth, wrapping around the hollow and tearing it apart. Karin grinned.
Careful, came the tiger's voice. I get hungry~
Karin's eyes widened as the flame burned through her sleeve. What the hell?! She screamed. Her reiatsu erupted and Homura reached for the next line of hollows with a slow breath of heat.
Kisuke appeared and managed to get her release the blade, dousing the flames on that arm.
As he flung it aside, the asauchi shattered, was swallowed by flames, then reappeared, a gleaming katana with a braided gold and silver hilt.
Now, I'm yours, the voice whispered in parting.
"Great," Karin hissed as Kisuke started cooling the burns on her arms, "I get a zanpakuto with a sick sense of humor." She passed out.

Kisuke cleaned up Karin doctoring her injuries as Ichigo went behind him bandaging her arms. When Kisuke finished he walked over picking up Karin's sword. He looked at turning it side to side. The braided gold and silver hilt glistened in the dim lighting.
He smiled, "So your name is Homaru, huh? About time you helped this girl out." He adjusted his hat dropping the sword to his side and stepped toward Karin and Ichigo. "Bullheaded feline." Kisuke mumbled.
Homaru sparked in annoyance at Kisuke, he only laughed still keeping his pace, stopping in front of Karin. He extended his arm handing Homaru over to Karin. His hand then rested to her head when she took it.
"Congratulation, Munchkin."

Karin grinned and took her zanpakuto, looking around at the scalded box. "Looks like it was worth it," she stated. Her eyes turned to her shimmering hilt. "Now can I kill her?" she growled with a wicked smirk. Homura sent a warning lick of flame her way.
Ichigo grabbed the blade and started threatening the feline within, during which Kisuke offered commentary and advice against fulfilling his varied threats, even with his powers. Karin didn't hear much of it. Her eyes drooped and again she passed out, this time for good.

"Fox Hunt": (continued) Aizen and Vale appeared on the hillside overlooking town as Aizen turned and looked at Vale. "We wait here. He will be along soon enough." Vale looked to Aizen and grunted. "Honestly, Aizen...I'm not for this fuckery. I don't like playing hide-and-go-seek. Especially with this fucking moody ass bastard. Don't you have some sort of dog whistle that will make the shit come to you?" He shoved his hands deep in his pockets and started to whistle. "Here puppy puppy asshole puppy!"

A cut opened on his cheek from somewhere in the darkening scenery. Gin walked out, decked in blood, silver hair gleaming eerily, and naked blade in hand. “That is called marking your prey, stray,” he hissed, eyes flashing crimson as another spike of lightning rang out. A macabre grin spread wide over his face. Turning to his former master, the snake angled his still bloody blade at him. “Fitting scenery for your demise, isn’t it, Aizen-san?”

"The only demise here Ichimaru; will be your own." Aizen looked away from Vale to Gin. "No Kita? I thought for sure you would have her attached to your hip by now." He combed his fingers through his hair a smirk appearing across his lips.
"After all," he paused, "she is with your child."
A clash of lightening and thunder lit up the sky. The very atmosphere shaking at the booming thunder around them.
"Kill him." Aizen ordered Vale.
