The room was exactly as it was before a pure brilliant white that blinded Lille if she focused on it for too long. The woman on the other hand had let her hair down and let it hang down. Lille noticed that her was long and was crimped in such a way that her hair looked like gentle waves of white along her back. "Are you my zanpakuto?" Lille asked as calmly as she could, in reply the woman first hesitated, then nodded. Lille wasn't shocked or fazed by the answer,actually she was expecting it. She knew that the woman wouldn't hurt her. Suddenly Lille opened her eyes to see Ichigo laying next to her. She shot up while she kept her eyes on Ichigo and as she sat up she stared at Ichigo. His soft breaths giving him a child like demeanor more suited for his age. " he looks peaceful, Hu?" to Lille's back Kisuke spoke soft and quietly as to not wake Ichigo, "yeah, he looks kind of careless when he is asleep. So, how long was I out for?" Lille stated. " you've been out for a couple of hours, did you learn anything? " Kisuke asked, Lille looked at the ground and nodded no. A thought then entered Lille's mind fast and strong. " you alright Lille?" Kisuke asked, "I'm fine but could you wake up Ichigo?" Lille replied. " why don't we wait he has been wake for awhile worried about you, so why not let him sleep?" Kisuke stated, Lille nodded looking down at Ichigo concerned." Don't worry Ichigo can handle a lot, ok?" Kisuke said with obviously concerned for Ichigo as well. "I know about his hollow." Lille said keeping her eyes on Ichigo. " wow, you sure know a lot about us." Kisuke said actually sounding surprised. "Yes" Lille said as she left the room,"Where you off to?" Kisuke asked "I'm off to the training arena I'm going to train while I'm waiting for Ichigo to wake up."Lille stated and slid the door closed. Kisuke gave a small sigh, "what am I going to do with you, Ichigo?" Kisuke stated looking at Ichigo sleeping.
Lille slid her sword out of its sheath and placed it across her lap, like Ichigo had shown her, and closed her eyes. When she opened her eyes again she expected to be in the brightly lit room but this time she was in a large room that had little lighting. "Are you there?"Lille shouted to the shadows, a light chuckle was the response she got, accompanied by a large familiar sword that came quickly from the shadows. Lille dodged to the left just in time and got to her feet. She drew her sword, "You think you can defeat me with that poor excuse for a zanpakuto? Give me a break." A figure said as it stepped out of the shadows , it was Ichigo's hollow! Ichigo's hollow (also blackberry as I a/n know him) had the completion of Ichigo except for he was completely white and the Zangetsu strapped to his back had a black handle."what are you doing here?" Lille yelled, "my aren't you short tempered. First off I'm not blackberry, I'm your zanpakuto I just took this form to talk to you." She explained. Lille was skeptical but she knew that if it were Ichigo's hollow, she would already be dead so Lille relaxed a little. "What's your name?" Lille asked, " I will tell you if you prove worthy of me." The zanpakuto replied as she grabbed the Zangetsu off her back."so be it, I will prove my self." Lille said slashing at the zanpakuto with ferocious speed. They exchange strong blows back and forth, one of Lille's swings land and cause a small cut on the zanpakuto's right shoulder. Blood began to pool on her shirt causing the pure white fabric to be stained a deep dark red. Even with the wound the zanpakuto kept the same amount of force in her swing. "Just give up you will never be able to win" the zanpakuto said as her sword slashed Lille's stomach. Lille ran holding the wounded area. "How can I defeat her, she must have a weaknesses of some kind." Lille thought to her self as she ran. While carfully watching the zanpakuto  she realized that the zanpakuto was copying Blackberry's style of fighting.
"Why don't you stop running and fight?" The zanpakuto yelled as she used the fabric on the end of the handle to swing the huge sword in the air, Lille turned around. She waited for the right moment then dodged and dropped her sword. Just as Zangetsu zoomed passed her face ,she quickly grabbed the fabric and pulled. Yanking the sword out of the zanpakuto's hands. The power flowing from the Zangetsu gave her an idea "Hum... getsuga Tensho." Lille said as a huge wave of concentrated reishi erupted from the blade. The getsuga hit it's target (the zanpakuto) and shot her back with powerful force. Lille love the feeling of giving off a getsuga its power was overwhelming. " you are truly worthy of my power mortal" the zanpakuto coughed limping to her feet, "I'll ask one more time what is your name." Lille demand standing over the weakened zanpakuto.
