Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ikki was glad to see that his little rant on how things had changed since Yoshimitsu had been here was taken so well by his old friend. HE quickly finished the last few bits of ramen that he had left and tossed his empty ramen bowl into the air. As soon as it left his hand it began spiraling up towards the sky. Ikki drew his zanpaktou with lighting speed and released an attack. "Kaminari Ouda!!" he yelled as an electric blast fired from the tip of his blade disintegrating the bowl.

"Sure I'd love to help train you but first I want you to spare with another graduate how about Zoroou since he is just over there." he said as he pointed in the other graduates direction

Ikki had sensed Zoroou a while ago and figured that it would be quite entertaining to see how Yoshimitsu would fair against the older Zoroou in a sparing match. Also Zoroou had been complaining lately about not getting any training so this would help out all three of them.

Love is a necessity. . .

"Ah! Ani!!" Tsuki said in shock.

"You could get into a lot of trouble just being here, anyways, I see you've brought company, if they're friends of yours their friends of mines, but that rule doesn't apply to Ryuu. . ., so you and punch him and leave on the floor unconcious. . ."

She smiled at her older brother even though she knew they were supposed to be enemies.

Then why don't I get any of it at all?

Ikki was pleased to see that Yoshimitsu still retained his fighting spirit and couldn't wait to see how he would fare against Zorouu. The young captain chuckled when he heard Yoshimitsu say "Let's find this Zorouu" since he had already pointed in the general direction of Zorouu.

"Alright, but we dont really have to look that hard since I can sense his location" he paused to release a light chuckle "He is attempting to mask his reiatsu so as to go unnoticed by the higher level shinigami but he can't hide from a captain especially not me." said ikki as he holstered his blade and turned to face Zorouu's direction "So...Let's Go! Denkou Sokudo(Lightning Speed)!!" he yelled as he disappeared in a flash of lightning since he was using his custom version of shunpo.

Ikki arrived on the scene long before Yoshimitsu did due to his immense advantage in speed. He scanned the area for a second to make sure he had come to the right place since he didn't see Zorouu immediately upon arrival. Within a few seconds of beginning his search he had found who he was looking for.

"Ahh there you are Zorouu! hey what do you say to a little sparring match hmm? I know you have been wanting some one to train with and I have a friend of mine who just graduated the academy who also needs training. He should be arriving shortly, I kind of went full speed...sometimes I forget how fast I am. Anyways I think the two of you can prove to be quite helpful to each other so I am strongly suggesting that you accept the offer since I don't really feel like ordering you to do it." Ikki paused and held back a chuckle since his last statement amused him "Oh and one last thing he is no push over the two of you have similar power levels so it should be an enjoyable match up" said Ikki concluding his little rant to Zorouu.

Akurei didn't care about anything for the moment, focused on knocking the wall in front of him down with his fists. The wall already looked battered and cracked heavily. He concentrated his reiatsu into his fist, then swung hard. The wall cracked with a large burst of dust as half of it collapsed in front of him. Not good enough, he thought. He growled under his breath. He punched again, harder. The explosion surprised him. He chuckled at the result. Interesting, he thought. If I can control this, I'd get stronger faster, he thought.
Smoke curled around his fist, though he hadn't used a Hadou technique. It appeared he had, though. It was almost as if he'd unconsciously used the skill of Shunko, a much stronger form of basic Kidou.

Zorouu got his attention drawn to a ranting fool and some half pint youngling. Zorouu replied ''what the hell real fights don't have rules you dam fool and on the contrary your level seems to be fifth seat or sixth seat huh while I'm on par at the captain and vice captain level do really want to fight then ''staring over at Yoshimitsu when saying that. Then he added ''taicho of what ever squad you are with all due respect my skills and abilities are wasted in the gotei 13 I never will get anywhere as long as others look down their noses at me or others''with a cold voice and stare. Zorouu was sick of these people not sure how he should proceed in conversation but with some light respect and some opinion. Zorouu sighed and said ''i will only fight with my sealed zankpaktoh I will not release my shikia or Bankai but I cannot use bankai today it is not a full moon or sunrise today ''with a nonchalant blink after saying bankai.

Yoshimitsu couldn't help but laugh ether at Zorouu's foolishness. Zorouu's bloats where just simple jokes to him since he couldn't gauge his real Battle level, he was going to put Zorouu in his place.

"I feel the same way as my friend here, your just a joke of a shimigami and a man if you think your being wasted in the Gotei 13. as i have learned thought my many battles with Ikki-Taicho is that, never underestimate because they may feel weak at first but when a person looks weak but...they may also serve as your down because they be actually stronger then you think. and your cockiness with be the cause of your defeat.." Yoshimitsu said coldly the last sentence serving as a warning to Zorouu.

Yoshimitsu felt the same way as Ikki because one, he disrespected his superior and two, he also insulted him by underestimating him. Yoshimitsu looked back at Ikki and gave him a understanding look with fifre in his topaz eyes that he was going to go all out.

"of course, Ikki. anything for my one and only best friend for life and brother." said Yoshimitsu in the same way. now releasing his true spiritual power, it came barreling down on Zorouu like 10 tons of bricks or more. if you had put tosen's, Kumamura's and Yoruichi's spiritual power together; you would get Yoshimitsu's. Yoshimitsu's power level was only about a peg lower then Ikki's and had to skills to back it up too. Yoshimitsu smiled as he showed true power wanting to see Zorouu's reaction to it.

Zorouu got a red face and said ''I am a joke then so if that is how it is for you two can go get a room then and I am not being cocky I only boast as you say so to avoid hurting anyone since I don't like to really kill my opponents unless the threat is truly there so if I am a joke I will forget this battle challenge right now and I said i gauged your power as a fifth seat but then I also pointed out you could be holding back a few secrets so I have no underestimated you at all and besides it does not matter the opponent as a shinigami every threat has to be met and defeated''not even drawing his sword,ripping his arm sleeves off which on one arm showed his shihoin tattoo . Zorouu stepped back and turned his back.walking away from the captain and Yoshimitsu,who were bad hosts when asking someone else for a spar or battle. Zorouu had done some hand signals while his back was turned and then had his hands at his sides once more.

A dumbfounded Zorouu sat before the captain and then it poofed into a mannequin doll. Zorouu had left behind a kido doll of himself while walking away he had done it at the same time he had shunpoed so he wouldn't be noticed leaving but could leave without being caught. Zorouu was really already at the south gate and was sitting down against the wall. Zorouu yawned ''that captain has a decent flash step but my kido shunpo and kido doll are flawless but only if they don't see you making the kido gestures''pointing out to himself in his own speech to reflect that his kido shunpo and doll was best when your back was towards others.
