Trying to Practice

[Shoshi Ana]

Ana got up and looked around she looked over seeing Ichigo and Urahara and frowned, how far was Urahara going to take Ichigo’s training. She was a little worried but quickly dismissed it before turning around and looked at a rock.
“Ok… you can do this… there is nothing else around, just… rocks.” She whispered to herself and watched the rock, it was about 30cm by 30cm and smooth. Ana’s finger twitched beside her as she focussed on having no emotion just lifting the rock.
It did nothing, she frowned, still nothing, she started to get angry and it moved a little, rage was a high point in this power. She took a deep breath closed her eyes for a second, opened them and then raised her hand.
“Come.” She spoke though didn’t realise she wasn’t focussing on the one rock, all of a sudden rocks from all directions suddenly flew straight into the air and zoomed towards Ana, they swayed through Urahara and Ichigo’s training missing them just as Ana’s eyes widened.
Fear gripped her as some speed up, other dropped, others exploded it was all a mess like a battle field without soldiers. She covered her head cringing though never felt anything hit her. Her eyes opened and she looked over her arm to see several rocks floating in mid air, Ana blinked.
Then one after the other as she smiled they all either fell or exploded. Ana quickly hit the ground covering her head and sighed looking up when it finished “Bollocks.” She mumbled and let her forehead hit the ground again. She needed someone to shoot her. Ana sat back up and tried again though this time worked on moving several into the air.

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

Ichigo looked to Urahara a not too happy look on his face. ''Shut up! i know what im doing!'' he snapped loudly at him before charging towards him and lifting his zanpakuto high above his head and when he was close enough he brought the blade over his head and then heard the sound of his zanpakuto hitting the ground hard. Ichigo blinked seeing Urahara was gone, he had moved that quick he hadnt seen or had time to register he'd moved. Ichigo quickly grew angered, he then widened his eyes hearing something behind him. Urahara flickered behind Ichigo, causing him to sharply look over his shoulder. Urahara was then back in front of Ichigo and then went to attack him, Ichigo managed to stop him at the last second he had to lean backwards more so he wouldnt lose balance after Urahara was forcing him down. Ichigo gritted his teeth glaring at Urahara. ''Your reactions are still way to slow, if youre not careful you could really die out here you know'' Urahara taunted. Ichigo had to move one foot back so he could keep upright, though he smirked. ''Heh, are you kidding me, your so slow, that i dont even need to use flash steps to dodge you'' Ichigo said smugly. Urahara frowned quickly and then moved one hand off his own zanpakuto and pushed his hand to Ichigo blade moving his zanpakuto up more leaving his chest exposed to an attack. Urahara gave a grin and then with his free hand jabbed his palm straight to Ichigo's chest and with little effort at all really, and sent Ichigo flying back.

Ichigo ended up on his back, he was shocked by the sudden attack from Urahara without using his zanpakuto even and just his bare hands. Ichigo quickly sat up and rubbed the side of his head. He shot a glare back over to Urahara ''Dam bastard, how can he make that look way too easy'' he grumbled to himself. But he stood up moving his zanpakuto ready to attack again but he stopped after seeing a bunch of rocks exploding everywhere. Ichigo widened his eyes and moved out the way of some of the explosions but he quickly looked back to Ana. ''What the fuck you doing! you tryin to kill me bitch!'' he yelled over to him stabbing his zanpakuto into the ground and leaning his elbow on the hilt, but then began to think, just what was going on with Ana, it seemed unusal.

[Shoshi Ana]

Ana was doing really well she had control over the rocks as they hovered in the air bobing up and down like they were doing it to a tune. She smiled a little and kept breathing steadly before raising her other hand moving it a little. She looked like she was trying to create wind or make an image with air as some rock moved around with an invisable flow being pulled on string that wasn't there.
Ana's shoulders rose when she heard Ichigo yelling at her. She looked up eyes wide, she was already an emotional wreck she didn't need him yelling at her on top of it all. Tears quickly sprung to her eyes as the rocks moved a little to fast. she quickly closed her eyes and then opened them again, that was it, she couldn't stay calm.
Her head snapped towards Ichigo, eye burning red and watery as her cheeks flushed in anger "DON"T YELL AT ME YOU JERK!" she yelled echoing around her. The ground around Ichigo shook before exploding around him. She bit her bottom lip "I'm sorry... ok... I'm... I'm trying." She whispered and then turned her head around again back to Ichigo and Urahara. Ana frowned sadly and her eyes narrowed down. She looked up and focussed on the rocks again which had amazingly stayed calm and still. She moved her other hand up again and started moving them around one another just spinning them like they were in a whirlwind breaking bits off them from time to time.

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

Ichigo looked to Ana seeing her reaction after he had yelled at her, he was just getting irritated by his trainning and was going to snap at any little thing really.
Ichigo gritted his teeth once she yelled back at him loudly, his expression turning angered. ''SHUT YOUR TRAP ALREADY!! DONT MAKE ME COME OVET THERE AND SHUT YOU UP MYSELF!!'' he yelled back over to her but stopped his yelling to then see Ana's tears, his anger faded and he looked more puzzled, shocked even. But the ground around him had exploded, causing him to flash step out of there and over by Urahara. He sharply moved his head in Ana's direction his anger back again. ''What is it with you!!'' he snapped but he heard he apologise, and say how she was trying. Ichigo blinked not sure what to say to her, he see her carrying on trying to move the rocks about, but he could still see Ana's sadened look. He gave a sigh looking to Ana. ''You cant control anymore...can you?'' he said to her.

[Shoshi Ana]

The fact that Ichigo yelled at her again still didn’t help. Ana had to bite her tongue to stop herself from snapping at him, she might break something by accident which would just make her feel even more guilty. She kept her eyes on the rocks ahead of her, her expression becoming a little more stern and stubborn on her face.

Ichigo’s voice kept echoing in Ana’s head as she clenched a fist her knuckles turning whit. She looked at a rock as it exploded then sighed, least only the one had. Her hand relaxed and she rested her head in it as she sat down the rocks lowering to her eyes level before falling to the ground in a heap. She looked over to them just expecting them to go flying around to turn into spiders or something she feared.

What was wrong with Ana, she was an emotional wreck that was what was wrong with her, but like Ichigo would understand that, in fact anything Ana explained to him she doubted he would comprehend it. She turned her head the other way so Ichigo couldn’t see her expression, why was he asking so many question, why did he care, he never cared. She frowned at a rock in the distance and shook her head before looking ahead again at a small rock picking it up.

“I can control it, just… not now… for some reason…” Ana knew why it was happening she just didn’t know how to control it, how to bring it back down again. Rocks started to circle around her on the ground as she frowned at them. “I thought you were suppose to be training, if you keep your body open like that Clogs is going to cut you up.” She said to Ichigo a little stern note to her voice before a rock exploded beside her and she growled throwing her hands onto the ground annoyed as a large crack flew across the ground in front of her. Ana hung her head and sighed, she wanted to cry and break down but no way was she doing that with carrot top around her. She was more determined to get this under control so she wouldn’t send a rock at Ichigo’s head to knock him out so she could get her emotions out of her, curse being a female on an emotional voyage.

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

Ichigo kept his eyes on Ana seeing her atempt to control more of the rocks, but they too exploded, and some just landed in a heap.
He noticed she had move her face out of view, as she didnt want ihm to see her like that, this was worse than he had thought. He didnt know what to say or do, it was Ana here, and he knew she got emotional and didnt like him to see her get that way. Though he had no clue Ana was wondering why he had asked her all these questions, and thought that he didnt care about anything.

He frowned more once Ana had spoken up, and answered what he had said to her, how she could control it but for an unknown reason. ''Liar'' Ichigo muttered not sure if Ana actually heard it. She was lying to him, he knew it, but she had spoken again, saying how he should be concentrating on his trainning or Urahara would attack him.
Ichigo gave a bored sigh. ''Idiot, as if will be able to concentrate when im trainning knowing that your not ok'' he said firmly to her, glancing a little at Urahara, then back to Ana.
Ichigo crouched beside Ana looking to the crack she had just made in the ground, he looked back to Ana and sighed. ''Uhh, your a pain in the ass you are...'' he began.

''Ana, i cant just go on ahead and train and ignore a friend's problem, what do you think im gonna do if you cry in front of me?'' he began. He didnt know what she thought he would do, he was experianced with seeing people cry and have breakdowns in front of him, he was a shinigami, crying humans were part of the job, he had seen Orihime cry so many times over her brother, sometimes that got to him it made him feel sad. He was constantly having breakdowns most of his childhood, mainly because of the big hole left in his family. But he couldnt understand what she thought he'd do, maybe she thought he'd yell at her for crying, it was the only reason he could think of.

[Shoshi Ana]

Ana knew she couldn’t control this power, she had never been able to, the last time this had happened to her was several years ago and she had to leave town to get a hold of it, she had to visit her long lost great grandmother in the far north where she wouldn’t hurt anyone. It took her a month to get it back under control. It was strange though. When it happened it toyed with Ana’s emotions, mixing with them using that as its power, the more emotional she was the stronger the power was the more energy was used with little effect to her, it just added more pressure and emotional strain on her.
This power to Ana was locked away, she had a certain amount of energy she used the rest was locked in a box with a big thick lock on it that opened a certain amount for each battle, it was how she controlled her spiritual energy, but at this moment it was like the box was fully open, the lock was lost the key was on the other side of the world and Ana couldn’t get the energy back down, hence the emotions though with everything that had happened to her and gone on around her over the past few months it was amazing she hadn’t broken down like this already. If you had to compare it to something it was like Ana was trying to control a force that couldn’t be control, like Ichigo trying to control his spiritual energy. Though Ana was trying to control it, trying to force it down to take charge.

Ana frowned, why did Ichigo have to practice today then she wouldn’t feel guilty that she was taking his mind away from what he should be focussing on. Controlling his hollow was far more important, least from her point it was. Though as soon as Ichigo called her a pain a rock from the pile flew right past Ana’s ear with speed heading for Ichigo but Ana held her hand out fingers spread as a shield formed around Ichigo as the rock smashed into it shattering to the ground, least Ana had control over her shield one thing she was always good at.
She looked down she had been hoping to not send a rock at Ichigo but every time he seemed to send an insult her way a small amount of anger and sadness stabbed her and then her energy took over sending things his way. She knew in away he may not have meant what he said but she was taking it on, like she took everything else on. Ana bit her bottom lip she felt tears but she couldn’t do this, she had once gotten emotional around Ichigo, he had asked her not to do it again and she said she wouldn’t and here she was emotional around him about to cry when she shouldn’t. She had been brought up by an Uncle who never cried around anyone, she had a horrible grandfather who saw crying as a weakness and Ana had taken that on, she saw crying as a weakness… no… she saw her crying as a weakness. She was the oldest she was suppose to be strong not weak. She had cried before yes, but hardly ever in front of someone she hated breaking down in front of people.

“Yes you can” Ana said to Ichigo and stood up “You can go on and train because you need to, don’t you see Ichigo, my problem is nothing compared to what you could face, you need to focus on the hollow, you need to get that under control…” she would have gone on but she stopped would Ichigo even take in what she was telling him or would he push it aside like he seemed to with everything she said. She frowned, why did Ichigo even put up with her, was it because she was a friend or was it because she helped him fight hollows when he needed it, she didn’t know.
“I won’t cry in front of you, I said I wouldn’t and I wont…” though Ana could feel her dry throat she could hear her voice cracking and she went quiet again “I’ll go in the far corner, so you can’t see me then you can forget I am here and focus on what you have to do, on why you came, and every time you hear something you ignore it.” She said and nodded looking to the side, which way would be a good way to go so Ichigo wouldn’t see her one with lost of rocks would be good. She didn’t know what she thought Ichigo would do if he saw her cry, maybe shake her dry or try snap her back to reality. She turned around knowing a tear drop was on her eye lash and saw a bundle of rocks before heading over to them in the distance.

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

Ichigo kept his attention on Ana for a moment but after he told her she could cry in front him he then actually thought if she would end up doing it, he hadnt planned that far ahead. Although he did hate it when he saw someone getting upset, it made him feel bad even if it wasnt him that had caused any upset. It reminded him of himself, always crying whenever his mum wasnt around, though he didnt care if it made him seem weak back then, but now he wouldnt even dare cry about something, he did think he showed weakness, but not so much for girls, but he understood why she held back, he remebered he had told her how he disliked it, or when someone screamed in pain, he didnt know why it got to him so much, his friends were his own weakness.

Ichigo had suddenly seen the sheild that had come up stopping a rock for hitting him, he quickly frowned at Ana. he see he stand up and hear saying how he should go on and train, it made him scowl ''Be quiet! thats my decision, if i choose to train up or not'' he began but he gave a sigh standing back also before glancing over to Urahara, then back to Ana. ''How can you say that, any of your problems Ana are my problems too, your Important to Turasho, he told me to watch out for you, if i didnt help you with anything what kind a friend does that make me? your more important that a stupid hollow!'' he told her before grabbing the hilt of his zanpakuto that he had left in the ground.
Ichigo then heard her say for him to forget about her, and that she'd go in a corner. He had concerned look on his face seeing her turn around and walk off towards some rocks in the distance. Ichigo watched Ana for a moment then looked down, he knew he had a big problem with his hollow to sort out, but the fact that Ana was upset was getting to him, he felt useless, like there was nothing he could do to help her, his fists tightened up, Ichigo looked at annoyed him self before quickly looking to Urahara. '' You heard her, lets get this trainning out the way'' he said to him and then turned and walked towards Urahara, though he glanced over his shoulder to Ana then looked back in front of him.

[Shoshi Ana]

((Ana is way too stubborn sometimes hehe))

Ana sighed and shook her head she clenched her fist when Ichigo mentioned Turasho’s name, Ana was currently annoyed at that guy, at her boyfriend. She had never felt so much rage and sadness at the same person for one person. She wanted to turn around and face Ichigo and just yell at him to stop taking on everyone’s problems like they were his own, this wasn’t his problem it was hers, but if she couldn’t control it then it might become his problem, she wasn’t being attacked by a hollow so he shouldn’t worry so much.
She looked down to the ground. Ana didn’t get it, she wasn’t getting Ichigo, maybe because he was actually making sense and she didn’t like it. She would have said something but she didn’t, she thought he had to focus on his hollow which he should be because if that broke loose then it wouldn’t matter because a hollow like that was dangerous and should be thought of first. Ana would be focusing on a hollow inside her if she had one, would that have made her a bad friend? She saw it as putting the safety of the people around her first. Perhaps it would make her a bad friend, she just hoped Ichigo understood why Ana wasn’t letting him in or explaining anything to her, that he might understand latter on. He could worry about her after his training as far as she was concerned.

Ana stopped by a bunch of rocks way off in the distance, she glanced back to Ichigo and Urahara “Get your head focussed Ichigo, don’t let him beat you up…” she mumbled and then turned to a bunch of rocks sitting down so it was harder for Ichigo and Urahara to see her. She raised her hands and took in a deep breath closing her eyes and shockingly she felt it, a small trickle of liquid roll down her cheek, she gasped and opened her eyes placing a hand to her face “dam it… pull yourself together woman.” She told herself and raised her hands in front of herself again concentrating.

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

Ichigo grew annoyed by Ana quickly, he was not the sort of person to think before he spoke, but sometimes the things he said he regretted, he wasnt so much regreting what he said to Ana but what he was thinking on the whole thing.
He hated Ana for not admitting to her problems, but he was the same with his hollow he was far to disgusted with himself to let anyone know about his hollow, alot of his friends hardly knew about his hollow.
It didnt seem right, a hollow inside a shinigami it was a stupid curse on him forever. It did nothing but get in the way and give him doubts in himself all the time. Deep down he knew that Ana was right, but anytime he started to think that he blanked it out, he wasnt going to admit that his hollow problem should be his main concern, he couldnt help it, he was always worrying about his friends, he was suposed to make sure their safety and their problems were ok, he thought if he just ignored Ana, and just carried on trainning and thought about him all the time, that would make him selfish, in his mind anyway. In truth Ichigo was the least selfish person around, he never put himself first or before his friends, but on this occasion, he had to, like Ana had suspected, his hollow could take over, and if he didnt think of himself then he could well turn into a full hollow and what good would he be to anyone then.
Ichigo carried on walking towards Urahara, he was angry and irritated by what Ana had said to him, though it would prbably get a good fight out of him with his anger high.
Ichigo held his zanpakuto up and without warning raced at Urahara yelling angrily slamming his zanpakuto straight onto Urahara not even giving hat and clogs time to block it. Blood flicked across the floor, Urahara was hit, Ichigo had sunk his blade into Urahara's shoulder.
Ichigo gritted his teeth looking at Urahara, the dragged his zanpakuto back and then went in for another attack. Urahara seemed fine though, he was an ex-captain so he could deal with alot worser injuries. He managed to block the secondattack though with little effort, and frowed to Ichigo.
