Welcome to Gaia! ::

A small tremor of excitement had traveled up Akuryou's spine as he reformed through the shunpo; landing against the grassy patch of land near the center of the soul society. The area had already been designated a battle zone for shinigami, ranging from captains, to the unseated officers. The feeling of excitement had only grown stronger, even if the oncoming battle was not going to be to the death, Akuryou knew it would still be rather enjoyable. Giving the rather large area a quick glance around, Akuryou adjusted his body weight once again, unkowingly putting more pressure on his right leg, knowing it would only be a matter of seconds until our generations Kenpachi had shown.

Akuryou would have stood, as if unaffected by the pressure that now incased the area. "let's make this intresting" Akuryou's body had quickly twisted in a blurring motion, his arm rising upwards, unsheathing his sword in the process. A quick glint of the sun's ray's would have shined off the tip of akuryou's blade as it was now positioned at his side, tightly held in his grip as he also began rushing forward. "I wont even use my shikai!" Akuryou's image would have appeared to glitch as he continued his movements, vanishing into a high speed, only to reform a few feet ahead of where he left, doing this a number of times, closing the gap between him and his fellow captain. "We should only fight with the abilities the seated officers have!!" With each glitching movement, akuryou's voice would have seemed to echo throughout the area in a shattered manner. The ground seeming to crack with each step underneith the captains seemingly light weight.

With a swift movement, Akuryou had lowered his body close to the ground by the time the beam had been shot from Daichi's Zanpakutou. A quick breath of force had left akuryou's lips as his body seemed to only shimmer for a few miliseconds, before vanishing into the vast speeds of a shunpo. Unlike what most shinigami would have done in this situation, Akuryou did not try to dodge with his emmence speed, but rather flew upwards, nearly matching the rising beams velocity, but not entirely. His hand would have quickly rose up to the, just begining, rain of energy that his opponent had created, Akuryous mind having already gone through the situation. With a transfer of reishi into his hand, Akuryou quickly spoke as the 'rain' had gone into its full speed towards him. "HADO ICH! SHO!" Just as the first beam was about to strike against the seemingly, now motionless Akuryou, the basic kido had launched itself. This kido would have normally been used to merely move an enemy away from him, but with his unique way of thinking, the energy that had fired from Akuryou's hand would have insued a distorting effect. What happened next was simple, the energy like rain that was heading towards Akuryou had quickly broken apart due to the basic shinigami ability, creating somewhat of an umbrella effect to the few feet around Akuryou. The rest of the beams had hit against the ground in their blurred motion, creating small, yet deep craters. As Akuryou's body had seemed to catch up with himself, a footing would have been created in the sky just below the captains feet. With a quick flick of his wrist, Akuryou had spun his blade once, halting its movements directly at his side. His eyes would have instinctivly darted down to Daichi, as a smile had wrapped across his lips. "Was that it Daichi?!" He had called down with an unusual teasing tone.

Kushina Tanaka
l Lieutenant l Silent Flower l Squad 11 l

Kushina walked toward Kenpachi and another one of his battles. "Dai has gone and gotten himself into another fight I see. How does he keep doing it?!" she muttered to herself. She stopped by a tree refusing to go any further. A slight breeze blew her hair into her face, so she tucked it behind her ear. "I wonder how long this one will last!? she paused and sighed, "Probally awhile. Might as well as make myself comfortable and watch." Kushina sat down on her knees, resting her hands on her lap.

Daichi had actually looked worried for a moment or two, almost hesitant, but it wasnt because of the fight. He just didnt want Kushina getting hurt, but with just seconds to react he would have to react to the girl last. "Sorrow!" He called out again, but this time a mass of energy quickly formed on his right arm, "Get her to saftey." He spoke softly, his right arm blocked the punch, his sword had vanished. Daichi held his right arm in its place to keep that unch from striking its target, he pushed forward hard to push the man back, he then charged. Apon close inspection one would notice the blood trailing to Dai's wrist, as he closed in he swung hard, fist clenched and aimed for the man's stomach, but the fist wasnt the threat the shield was.


Gekkouhime rushed towards Kushina, picking her up and giving her a scoulding look, "Your too close to the fight, your going to get hurt child!" She dashed off finding a high area at a safe distance that she could watch at. "Now stay put child." She set her down and ran off back towards the fight.

Akuryou would have quickly skidded back along the imaginary ground, keeping his firm base as he was pushed by the other captain. Quickly reacting to the oncoming fist, Akuryou, whom would have still had the firm grip against his upsidedown zanpakutou, thrusted his right arm forward, making sure that the hilts trajectory was towards the balled hand. If the hilt and the fist did indeed hit, the contact would have been of equalling strength, causing the punch to merely be canceled out.

After the hit would have been countered, Akuryou would have instantly thrusted his lower half forward, while extending his already rising knee, forming a high speed kick. Using his uncommonly trained spiritual pressure control, the captain had managed to layer his entire foot in a thick coating of energy. If the foot were to hit it's target, which would have been the general lower area of Daichi's abdomen, the force behind it would reactingly explode from the contact. The explosion of power would'nt provide an extensive ammount of energy, but more then enough to force the air out of another's body.

As Akuryou's hand had been forced upward, his tight, near death like grip brought the still upsidedown blade with him; Having brought it in the rising motion, it would have caused the cool, sharp metal to ram against the oncoming shield, countering the attack with an accidental, yet still rebounding movement.

Using the concusive force that the sword and shield had made in that small moment, Akuryou had kept his footing, and body loose, which had allowed him to then skid backwards from the clashing forces, which would have slid him just out of the downward slashing sword.

"I know I am." Would have been the only thing that Akuryou had said before quickly lowering his body. The hem of the captains jacket would have seemed to trail behind akuryou as he brought himself into a low, moving, 360' rotation. Along the rotation, Akuryou had brought his body back, closer to Daichi's left side. With a perfectly balanced mix of spiritual pressure, and speed, Akuryou would have managed to blurr his arm through the air, the simple motion had possessed a speed so great, even the most keen of Captains would find trouble following the non-shunpou'd attack. Slashing his blade through the air, Akuryou had intended to create a decently sized gash on Daichi's left biscep.

(( I am sorry if you dont understand, but read your post over. You do not specify that you brought my 'arm' up with out moving my sword, all you said was that you continued with the momentum, and swung up, which would in reality bring my arm into the air sence you did not say you swung with your opposite arm. Second, the reason i skid back, was because the force of the 'shield' that you had managed to manifest out of no where in the previous post, had struck against my sword (which was brought up with my arm), and sence Akuryou was keeping the rest of his body loose as he tried to kick, the force pushed him back. Which in turn, caused the slash to miss. And i know that the 'slash' that you were doing wasnt going to hurt me, thats just usually what i put when i am refering to a sword movement.))

Akuryou would have felt the cold, cool metal of his opponents now spinning weapon dig into his left collar bone, causing his blood to whip out, flying down to the ground which was still far below. Though Akuryou's first reaction time had been lacking, he then mangaed to stumble backwards before the sword had time to make another gash along his flesh. Having now been out of the swords path, Akuryou quickly reassembled himself mentally, the grip along the hilt of his zanpakutou had instantly tightened.

With a quick murmer of a few needed words, Akuryou had brought his left palm up, managing to keep it still out of the opposing swords path. "Bakudo Kyu Geki!" ('Way of Binding number 9, Strike') By the time that the spinning weapon would have begun its 3rd rotation, an excess ammount of red light would have flowed from Akuryous palm, forming an extending arm made of pure reietsu. The red arm's speed would have had rivaled his enemy's own rapidly spinning weapon as it extended. Akuryou had planned on the high speeds of the geki to grip the fellow captain around his torso, knowing that if it where indeed to touch, or grip his enemy, that the kido's effect would take hold near instantaniously, flowing paralisis into Daichi.

Once the kido had wrapped around Daichi, Akuryou would have pushed off the imaginary ground at his feet, which would have inturn, forced him into a shunpo. Using the great speeds of a shunpo, he would have used that moment to create a large distance between the two. Only to slowly yet surely begin to layer his upper body in a coating of reishi. As if prepairing for a much larger offensive strike.
