In their separate minds, Yuzu and Karin kept cursing their fates for being way too weak and always causing problems for their families...
In Karin's realm, all rocky mountains started boiling as if lave will come out of them while in Yuzu's realm all flowers started becoming dark blue which brought an eerie feeling of death...
Small drops appeared in their faces as they tried to slowly feed more negative energy in order to connect with each other and form a mask in order to take over...
At that moment 2 voice was heard next to their ears...
??? Yuzu : "It's fine, cry, vent, get angry but never curse on your fate...."
??? Karin : "Oh??? The headstrong kid is down and crying how pitiful..."
Karin: "Who the hell said that!!!"
Karin yelled at her realm while Yuzu nervously stood up and looked around...
??? Yuzu : "Don't be afraid little one here is what mirrors your feelings..."
??? Karin : "Heh, acting all high and might now that someone called you..."
Yuzu: "Ummm, beautiful voice-san why i can't see you...??"
Yuzu as scared as she was she looked around only to find 1/10th of the field been turned blue and the rest still colourfull to see with her eyes, but no one next to her...
Karin on the other side was more pissed and started punching and kicking randomly getting the disdain of the one next to her...
??? Karin : "Cold, cold, cold, no not that way..... It's heat now heat!!!"
Karin: "You moth!$@#$#@r i'll punch you!!!!"
Karin: "Why the fuck i can't hit you!!!!"
Both of them could not fight them in their respective minds but unknowing to them the infection had stopped.
Sora outside could see that only 5-6 drops across their face had been formed and stopped there for a while, he thought that they must have made contact with their Zanpakuto souls and that placed a break in the hollowfication...
Inside their inner realm, Yuzu finally tried to focus her current small powers and took a deep breath before calming herself and looked again in the sea of flowers...
On a particularly flower a butterfly was sitting on it which caused Yuzu to stared in awe as she got closer and closer to it, when she reached up close she was shocked to see that it wasn't just a butterfly.
But a beautiful mature girl in the size of a butterfly with wings...
In Karin's inner world she tried to do the same despite the many tauntings she got from him, she tried to calm herself down albeit with much more difficulty and started looking around...
After 20 or so minutes she found something in the mountain and went towards it, it was a small cave, when she entered inside and started exploring it she arrived at something that looked like an altar...
She saw there an old man sitting there watching with disdain at Karin...
Karin: "An old man?? You are my Zanpakuto??"
Old Man: "Heh, be grateful for that brat..."
Karin: "Since you confirmed it for me, then this place must be my inner world i was taught about for speaking with our swords."
Old Man: "And since you arrived here, you are supposed to earn my trust and gain access to your first form or else your Shikai..."
Karin: "Then... Will i become strong??"
Old Man: "Strong?? Why do you desire power??"
Karin: "To protect my family."
The old man kept staring at her eyes which carried an unweilding flame inside them before sighing and started speaking up...
Old Man: "You are not ready yet, due to various reasons and also until you heal your injuries you can't wield me..."
Karin: "I know, but what can i do to leave this place??"
The old man started pondering about a lot of things but he couldn't find the way for her to leave. Normally as her inner world she can come and go as she pleased but even after almost healing her soul she still hasn't left...
Old Man: "I don't know..."
