[After a long trek through the snowy field, a row of fancy heat lamps and a stone gate finally come into view. Through it, the town of Lutie is visible, and looking quite welcoming with its Christmas greetings everywhere. Compared to the frozen tundra, you'll want to hurry inside - just try not to let the wall hit you on the way in! And once the gate is passed, the first thing you'll see is a massive Christmas Tree.... ]

2000 I think? I have plenty now. Maybe even enough to get it upgraded!

[needsmorezippers]

Good. [He would have given you some of his if you needed it- it's not like he needs or can use a weapon.]

[tamedhollow]

Say, Neku, have you ever used a sword?

[needsmorezippers]

No. Never really had a reason to.

[tamedhollow]

[a slight grin] Do you wanna learn?

[needsmorezippers]

[Honestly, that's not something he ever thought about. But it could be pretty cool... He looks over at Ichigo and manages a little smile.]

Sure.

[tamedhollow]

[Ichigo procures another sword and hands it to Neku] Here. It's not the best thing in the world, but it'll do.

[needsmorezippers]

Ok. [Neku takes it and... wow, does that feel weird. He will pay for it, though, if Ichigo thinks it works...]

[tamedhollow]

[and then there was a training montage that I can't write because I have no idea how to use a sword. Not that Ichigo knows the specifics, either]

[needsmorezippers]

[woohoo training! holding a sword is very different from using a pin to pretend.]

[tamedhollow]

[training is fun WHEE!! Neku seems to be pretty good at it, though]

If you use both hands to slice down, you'll have more power... Man, I wish we had some stuff to train on, though.

[needsmorezippers]

We could go attack more slime things, but that's not much of a challenge. [Even for a beginner.]

[tamedhollow]

We could practice on trees.... but I think these swords might break before the trees do. I wish we had some bamboo, or straw... [Ichigo frowns] I guess the slimes will have to do.

[needsmorezippers]

Maybe wherever we end up next. [Since that's going to happen...]

[tamedhollow]

True. So just hold on to it for now. We'll figure out some training. You and me can always spar. That way I can teach you some more specific moves.

[needsmorezippers]

Ok. [Look, Ichigo, you get a smile! Sort of! It's small but there take what you can get.] Thanks.

[tamedhollow]

[that little smile makes Ichigo smile right back. He SUCCEEDED!] No problem.
