" Would you like to learn how to block any attacks the higher level Arrancar might target you with?" Nel asked and hoped that what she taught would be good enough.

"I would like that, yes," Nemu responded. She just hoped that Nel would continue teaching her, especially since this was more than she had ever learned before. Sure she was programmed with attacks, and some basic knowledge of Kido when her father created her, but that was all she had...

" Ready to begin? We still have a few hours before I need to leave and I promise to teach you as much as I can before then. " Nel said.

Nemu nodded as she readied herself.

Soi Fon saw Nemu and Nel training and gave a smile. It was good to see Nemu learning more than what Kurotsuchi wanted her to learn.

Tatsuke watched as Nel taught Nemu everything that she knew. She had to admit that while her father was a complete bastard, Nemu was a nice girl, albeit very shy.

" Ready for a break Nemu-chan? You are doing great. " Nel said when she saw Tatsuki and Soi-fon.

"A break sounds like a well idea," Nemu said. Her mind wanted to continue, but her body couldn't...not without some rest.

( so sorry. Thought I had posted this morning. I hate getting distracted by telemarketers. )

" I'm glad you both are working so well together. " Soi-Fon said when she was in hearing range.

(I bet.)

"Thank you Soi-fon-sama," Nemu said with a light bow.

" You are welcome Nemu-san. " Soi fon said and hoped one day that Nemu would be captain of squad 12 instead if that man who called himself Nemu's father.

(Now that would be an interesting idea)

"It's actually good to see you Nemu-chan, Nel-chan," she said while lightly sizing the Arrancar up, knowing that she had a thing for Ichigo just like herself.

( it would. )
" It's good to see you too Tatsuki-chan. " Nel said with a smile.

(It would indeed...and I might have helped my roommate get a job! *is happy*)

Tatsuki grinned lightly and nodded. "Likewise Nel-san," Tatsuki responded with a grin.

( that's good ! )
" Is everything alright?" Nel asked having a feeling that Soi-Fon had something on her mind.

"Oka-san called me, saying that there was going to be a small get together and dinner party. She and I were wondering if you wanted to join?" Soi-fon asked.

" I would love too! " Nel said excitedly. She hoped Ichigo would be there since she considered him as a brother. She still was worried about Dondochacka and Peshce fearing Gin had killed them.

"Alright then," Soi-fon said with a grin on her face as she told her what time it would be.

" Okay. I'll be there. " Nel said with a grin.

"We'll see you in a couple hours," Soi-fon said.

Nel waved goodbye and turned back to Nemu." Ready to begin again?" She asked with a smile.

Nemu nodded as she got back into her stance. "I'm ready," was all that she said.

( yay for 15,000 words!)

Nel was impressed at how fast Nemu was learning these new moves and hoped that she would someday become Captain of Squad 12. It seemed the other squad members respected Nemu more now than they had before.

(thanks)

Nemu seemed to notice the amount of respect and kind words that she was receiving now that she was actually training with the other squad members. In the past, she was unable to do so since her father forbade it, but today...that wasn't the case. What she didn't know though was that her father was staying away by orders of the Captain-commander, who had said that if Nel was harmed...it would be his head and position.

" See you tomorrow Nemu-chan. " Nel said when it was time to go meet Soi-Fon and Tatsuki. It would good to have a break from the training.
