Shit, this guy was adapt with kido. She was mostly used to straight on weapon on weapon contact, not battles with kido. Kido wasn't necessarily her strongest form of combat. At most it was just enough that she was able to graduate from the Academy so in a battle of outright kido she would definitely lose if she tried to match him. That damn mask didn't help either; she couldn't read her opponents facial expressions so reading him just made it impossible, but for some damn reason she felt like she was being looked down upon by this man. She didn't like him, not one bit. There really was no actual rhyme or reason for it. Either way her ill feelings towards him weren't going to help her win this fight! Right now she was in the worst possible position to be in; her stomach was exposed to a strong thrust and it certainly was going to hurt like hell if it landed. "Dammit!" She dropped the bokken behind her and with her two hands she caught the thrust, using her claws to dig into the wood so that it wouldn't move further in. The bokken was caught by her tail, the hilt wrapped around itself firmly like it was a third hand. "Eat shit!" While holding onto Zento's weapon, she turned her body sharply, using her weight to swing the bokken wrapped around her tail towards the left side of his face with surprising force behind it for someone so small.

In all truth, Zento thought he had the little tiger woman at checkmate. But it was obvious that this battle would not end with a single thrust of his bokken. It surprised him that she dropped her weapon, it was suicide to do such things on the battle field, the length she was going to go in order to stop Zentos' strike earned her his respect. He felt his bokken forced to a halt by the tigers sharp claws, the wood splintering as she struggled to block the strike. "Amazing." He mumbled as she swung her body in order to hit Zento with the bokken that was now held by her tail. Zento immediately let go of the blade and ducked, this way, the bokken would pass over his head, and the momentum used to swing it would force it passed him. He then brought his hand up towards his bokken, which was still in her hands. "Kido #4: Hainawa!" he yelled as a crackling yellow rope of Reishi rushed from his fingers. The unpredictable winding rope would wrap around the hilt of his bokken and her arms, stopping at her elbows. He then used all he strength to lift her into the air, still holding the rope, he lifted her high above him, and would slam her, head first into the ground, on the opposite side of were she was originally standing.

Blocking her second ball her eyes showed amazement before Shinzo hado and her shrapnel attacked him, which sent off an explosion causing her to grin. "Hell yeah rekt a capt- Wait what tHE FUCK!?!" Aya shouted as a tornado formed out of nowhere. Before Aya could run away from it, it sucked her right in, spinning her around plus the metal balls which at one point bashed right off her skull. Which made her thank the gods her skin was literally steel at that point. She got sent flying and as she reverted back to her regular self she looked behind her to see Shinzo which made her grin. "Sup?" She said grinning as she crashed into him, ended up laying down on him sideways as she rubbed her head. "Well, this time I'm laying on you, not sitting." The captain then gave them praise which made her smile. "Neat, but I think I'm going to call it quits. I nearly just took my own head off with my own attack." She said still laying on Shinzo.

@Kitsune (Abi gave me permission)

As their clash continued his look became one that was absorbed in the fight, and would have kept going yet the captain would then tell them to stop, this would make him cease all attack and nod at Koyo-shi before standing up straight. He would hand the bokken back to the captain as she came over, giving them praise with a well done as she handed back their zanpakutos and told them they were members of the squad. "Thank you captain, but if you wouldn't mind I would like your assistance on something, yet shall wait until they take their test as well." Sotaro stated as he sat down with his zanpakuto where he would then begin to mediate.

@Phobos@Oblivion666



Shinzo watched as his Hado hit the Captain which caused him to grin as an explosion formed. Shinzo then landed when he felt a sudden burst of Spiritual energy as the wind picked up, watching as the smoke cleared, an odd gauntlet on the Captains arms "This must be his Shikai..." Seeing this caused Shinzo's eyes to shine as that burning sensation came back to his chest, this caused Shinzo to place his left hand on his chest once again, Yet this time he was still grinning "This feeling...it's back again...what the hell is this?" Shinzo hadn't noticed but his Spiritual energy had began to rise a little, yet due to the pain he had failed to notice this.

Due to this Shinzo had failed to notice Aya flying towards him and was ultimately struck by her, this led to her laying on top of him but he ignored it this time and just pushed her off as he climbed to his feet, the look in his eyes made it seem as if he was possessed. At that point Shinzo's grin grew wider as he began to spin his Zanpakuto in his right hand "That power is so crushing...I fucking hate it!" Shinzo then stopped spinning his Zanpakuto as he gripped it tightly before walking towards the Captain "She may be done but I'm not...I've still got some fight left in me!..." right now Shinzo was acting a little crazy, the look in his eyes was noticeably different. However Shinzo's left hand clutched his chest a little harder as his hair fell infront of his eyes before taking a deep breath and looking up at the Captain, the look in his eyes somewhat normal again and his energy dropped once again "Sorry...I guess I still had some energy left in me..." Shinzo then let his left hand fall by his side as he then sheathed his Zanpakuto and took a deep breath. "I'll try use this energy to train hard...You're going to regret this day Captain. One day we will be fighting on equal ground...and I will win" Shinzo said this with a grin...his spirit really showing

@LokiLeo789

Just when she though she was going to land that attack, the guy was somehow able to avoid getting struck by her bokken at this range. She had to hand it to him, he was good. This wasn't going to be a cake walk that much was certain. He instinctively knew what to do to counter and keep the fight going on so that he can keep pressing on her and take her down when he gets the chance and that he just did. Hainawa, a low leveled bakudo, wrapped around her hands and the bokken and before she knew it she was in the air with her head plummeting towards the ground. This was going to hurt like all hell. She opened her mouth wide open and a red sphere began to glow from it. "Hado 31: Shakkaho!" As she yelled it, the sphere was shot down towards the ground and exploded as she was half way through being sent face first towards the ground. The shock wave of the explosion was enough to cancel out the momentum that Zento had on her. With all of her might she pushed against the ropes and broke free of them. Without hesitation she threw the bokken straight towards Zento's head as she landed into a somersault, decreasing the fall damage. Masami stood up and grabbed her bokken, completely unaware that she may had gone a bit overboard with the hado; there was a small crater beneath her and the smell of wood burning pilfered the senses.

@hatakekuro

Zento frowned, this defiantly was not gonna end quick. As the tiger flying through the air, she opened her mouth and finally used a Kido. Instead of firing it at Zento, she fired it at the ground, maybe hopping to soften the landing. Surprisingly, the momentum he was using to throw her to the ground, dissaperaed, he stumbled at bit before regaining his balance and stance. Before the smoke cleared she was already on her feet and had chucked Zento's bokken back at him. Zento sidesteped, moving away from the weapons intended path. Before it passed him, he grabbed the bokken out of the air, then he quickly took his stance. The enemy gave him is weapon back, another mistake she would pay for. "Kido #1: Sai!" he yelled out as he pointed his index and middle fingers at her. Before the tiger knew it her hands were forced behind her back. "Check." He mumbled to himself as he brought up his other hand, the one in which he was holding his bokken, parallel to his other. "Kido #4: Byakurai!" he proclaimed as he lifted up his index finger in the direction of the tiger, a bolt of concentrated lightning came at the tiger at furious speeds.

@Kitsune@Oblivion666

Sai smiled with a proud chuckle from having gained such skilled fighters in her Squad. At first, Sai thought the Head Captain's decision would result in her receiving very lowly-skilled Shinigami compared to the other two Squad, seeing as hers deal with the Human World. However, clearly shown by the spar between Koyo-shi and Sotaro, as well as the other spar currently in commence, Sai was completely wrong. She would of been fine with receiving underachievers, but she had indeed received excelling Shinigami which was always a bonus in her books.

After returning the two Zanpakutos to their owners and officially proclaiming the Shinigami as members of Squad Thirteen, Sotaro spoke up with a request before taking a seat on the ground in wait. Sai looked to him, glowing from how happy his and Koyo-shi's skilled spar made her. "Sure, I wouldn't mind lending you a hand after the other two have finished" She replied before turning to face Zento and Kuro's spar; before sweat-dropping at the small creator Kuro had recently made. 'Eheh... I'll get her to fill that in later...' Continuing to watch the display, Sai's smile never faulted, however upon spotting Zento release a Byakurai, Sai paid a little closer attention to the bound tigress. 'Hopefully she'll be able to escape or with-stand the Kido, if not then I'll have to end this sooner, I don't want anyone getting too beat up....' Sai thought with concern.

@AbigailTenshi @Oblivion666

Koyo gave a curt nod back to her sparring partner, though tiring she had to admit it was rather fun and she even had a smile on her face as she went to give back the bokken to their new captain. Being accepted into the squad was a dream come true, though as she peered down to her Zanpakuto as she accepted it back she looked a little sad. Grabbing the sword and attaching it to her side once more Koyo looked over to the other pair sparring to show off their skills but they were a little more destructive than her own duel was. "Heh, this would be a rather amazing show if we had some snacks and tea." She commented absentmindedly as she enjoyed the display.

@LokiLeo789

She thought that her opponent wouldn't be able to react fast enough after having his bakudo broken and his footing broken for the moment, but it was wrong to assume. He caught his incoming bokken and then with no hesitation used another bakudo to seal her arms again and then shot a bolt of lightning towards her. If she got hit then she was going to be burned and quite frankly she didn't want to have the smell of burning fur lingering around her for the rest of the day. She could lean back and let it fly fast her face, but then she would just be stuck in one place and open for another long range attack. Neither seemed like attractive options so what was their to do? Well to keep moving forward of course. She let her body fall forwards face first to the ground, letting the bolt fly over her and as soon as her face was inches away from the dirt she kicked off towards Zento, keeping herself low towards the ground. As she ran she pushed herself arms out of the bakudo and held her bokken with both hands. Once in range, she pushed her body up towards Zento and used that momentum to send a quick and powerful left slash.

@hatakekuro

A warrior should never go into battle without a well thought out plan. Despite this principal, Zento did not, he was not expecting a lot of the tigers moves, which was a good thing on the tigers part. But for once in this fight, he had all the right pieces for a checkmate. If she dodged, he would attack again from a long range, she could only run at Zento, which was what he wanted to happen. "You fell into my trap." He mumbled as she ran at him, breaking his bakudo as she did. Zento grined as everything came to a crawl in his brain, the world was moving centimeters a minute in Zento's mind. "Hado #12: Fushibi." Zento mumbled as the tiger jumped in the air. Suddenly, a yellow net appeared in front of the little tiger, crossing and zigzagging every which way to block and entangle the little tiger. The foundation of the net were pinned to ground behind her, were she was originally standing. The net would stretch to its max due to her momentum and distance, if she hit it, Zento smiled, she was only about 2 feet away from him, he could do what he wanted with the few seconds he had to spare, but the most logical choice was the one he would pick. "Hado #31: Shakkaho." he mumbled, loud enough for her to hear as a small orb of crimson red energy formed on his finger that we now pointed in front of her face. The destructive power released by the blast a pillar of energy, would cause a concussion and mild burning, how she would dodge he had no idea, but he prepared for that also. He brought up his bokken, which was now aimed at her chest if she dodged that way. This would most likely be the blow that ended it, he breathed, and fired.

@Kurisa@Oblivion666

Yakima let out a sigh of relief when Aya said whe was done, expecting Shinzo to do the same Good, if this went on further, the Head Captain may of noticed my reiatsu...if he didnt already He shrugged, noticing the rise in Shinzos spiritual pressure, he remained calm, listening to Shinzo as he showed a fiery spirit. Before Shinzo did anything, he calmed down So they both have their darker sides

Yakima raised an eyebrow at Shinzos statement. He shunpoed behind him, too fast for either of their eyes to follow "That is good but do not expect it to he easy. I wasnt even using ten percent of my power. As you are right now, Aya has a jump start on you. Unlock your shikai, then you may have a chance" He turned to Aya, signaling to her to come ofer to them. Once she had, he used the same white cloth as before "Sentan Hakuja" The three were enveloped in a white light, vanishing from the area.

The three reappeared in Squad 10 barracks, everyone staring at them. He turned to the two of them as he retrsfted the white cloth "Congratulations, you are now osrt of Squad 10 Aya and.....what was your name" Yakima had barely realized he didn't know his name. And its not like he could write sexual boy or male in the papers.

Aya & Sexual Boy awarded 7 points for seriously fighting with a captain

An never ending maze. That was what Taito was thinking with another dead-end before him; map in hand as he rubbed at his head.'Gah! not another one! when will it end!'Rubbing his head in frustration before letting his arms drop in resignation.'After years of struggling and bumbling to pass the academy only to die in this maze?'The purple haired male shook his head and slapped his cheeks to slap some sense to him.

Taito had been traversing these endless and intertwining pathways for the past three hours, determined to reach squad ten. He turned to resume his search only to bump into a garbage can causing him to stumble forward and tried to turn his body to regain his balance. This only made him fall to the ground and roll forward as his body bounced; thinking it over until a passerby's foot tripped him up and sending him sprawling face first into a nearby pole. Behind him the group of three had fallen over each other after the run-in with Taito who was now sitting in front of the pole clutching his nose.'Agh gob thab hurbh!'Wincing in pain with blood spilling down his face as three shadows loomed over him.

"Hey asshole! watch where you're going!"One of the three shouted as they dusted themselves off. He gasped and turned to bow his head rapidly in apology.'Ah forgibe meh.'Noticing the guy's shirt disheveled.'Leb me geth dat.'Wanting to make up for tripping them and stood up only to slam the back of his head against the guy's chin.

The man was knocked back into the other; sending a leg to slam right at Taito's crotch and leaving him to cringe in pain. Nearly vomiting as he stumbled forward in pain, while the guy on the left started to get up."You little-'The falling Taito's forehead rammed against his own with the two falling onto the others. A loud wheeze escaped his lips, clutching his crotch as the three beneath him struggled to get away."This guy's cursed! get out of here.'One of them finally got free and helped pull the others up as they backed away from the bumbling idiot, noticing his body was covered with bandages and an eyepatch over his left eye.'F-freak!'Fearing they would end up in an even worst state if they stuck around this guy and ran off.

Lifting his bloodstained face with a groan and reached out a shaky hand.'W-waib! I-I'b thorry.'His busted nose causing him to lisp and the strike to his nuts left his voice high-pitched.

Planting his face against the ground as pain washed through his body wondering why he couldn't do one thing without fucking up. Ever since he was little he had been clumsy; not just clumsy but a complete clusterfuck at that. Just about everything he did somehow ended bad at first then as he tried to fix it only to be made worse. It was cause of this that everyone had come to avoid him, making it impossible to make friends, not only that but his graduating the academy likely pure luck.

He sighed, lying there face first on the ground wishing he was the dirt after that embarrassing debacle. There was no way any squad would want to accept a hazard like him and was crestfallen in despair.

@Phobos@Kurisa

Aya shrugged as he wanted to continue with the fight. She would have said something but he was too battle driven at the moment. So she silently laid down and watched. It didn't last long and the captain gave Shinzo a lecture before signalign for her to come over. She jumped to her feet and skipped off towards them before being enveloped in that white cloth again. They would be back at the squad where the captain would tell them they were both a part of it now. Aya grinned and leaned on Shinzo. "Woot!! Were gonn wreck alll the shit! Right sittin buddy?" Aya asked staring up at him with a giddy smile.

@Phobos@Oblivion666



Shinzo remained silent as they went back to the Squad 10 barracks. Shinzo was happy he had been accepted into the Squad but one thing was bothering him....actually...a few things were. Yet through it all he had forgotten to give the Captain his name "Shinzo...Shinzo Harimaya" Shinzo then turned, Aya then leaned on him and began speaking "Sure..." Shinzo then placed his right hand on Aya's arm as he held her up before taking a few steps before using shunpo to head off into the Seireitei. Only one thing was on Shinzo's mind right now...and that was training...he was basically referred to as being weaker than Aya purely because he lacked a Shikai...this frustrated Shinzo to a great degree.

Right now he had no idea where he was going, he was just looking for somewhere to train in peace...but everywhere he looked there were Shinigami. It was clear he wasn't going to find anywhere to train here...that left only one place to go. Shinzo made his way out of the Seireitei which thankfully was easier to find than anything in the heart of the Seireitei. After some time Shinzo found his way out of the Seireitei and navigated his way through the Rukongai before stumbling upon a forest...it seemed quiet enough so it would do. Heading a little deeper into the forest he stopped and took a deep breath before speaking "This will do...now time to get to work..."

Shinzo stood in the forest looking down at his Zanpakuto "...Fucking Zanpakuto...why the hell have I heard nothing from you? It's not like I haven't tried! What do you seriously want from me? everyone else has their damn Shikai's and I'm stuck here with a Zanpakuto that's breaking apart with each fight!...but fine...if you don't want to play ball then I'll get stronger myself! I'll increase my own strength and compensate for this lack of Shikai..." Shinzo then sheathed his Zanpakuto as walked up to a tree, his right hand held up with his palm towards his face as his left hand then pulled the glove on his right hand to make sure it was on tightly. Shinzo then let his arms fall to his sides as he took a deep breath, Shinzo then pulled his right arm back as he then placed his left foot forward.

Shinzo held his right hand open as he then stepped towards the tree with his right foot, his right palm aiming to slam right into the trunk and break it clean in two with a Tessho. Fuelled by rage Shinzo delivered a strong strike to the tree's trunk, this caused splinters of wood to fly past and leaves to fall around Shinzo as he took a large chunk out of the tree trunk "I guess I shouldn't of expected anymore...lets see if a second strike can do it..." Shinzo took up the same position as before and delivered another strike to the tree's trunk. This time however the tree split in two, the top half of the tree fell down to the ground leaving behind a splintered trunk. It was far from what you'd call a clean cut but he was using his hand after all.

Shinzo then took a deep breath as he walked around the tree trunk to the other half of the tree "This could come in handy in more ways than one..." Shinzo then unsheathed his Zanpakuto and held it out infront of him in both hands, he then began to focus on his breathing...keeping it steady and in rhythm before pulling the Zanpakuto back over his head and then slashing down at the tree aiming to deliver a nice straight clean cut...although the blade cut right through the tree the cut was a little bit off...there was a slight angle to it which caused Shinzo to sigh "...not even Ten percent of your power huh?...I guess I do have a long way to go...that's why I'm starting now so the road becomes shorter...while I may stand in your shadow now, unnoticed...that will become your downfall...before you know it the cold steel of my Zanpakuto will be pressed against your precious neck... " Shinzo continued to deliver cuts to the tree, sectioning it into smaller and smaller parts...yet he left one considerably larger part on purpose...

With the tree pretty much cut completely Shinzo looked to the large part he had left..."Just need something to tie it to my back...for a little extra support" Shinzo sheathed his Zanpakuto then looked at his sleeves "This uniforms ruined anyway...I can always get another" Shinzo then tore the sleeves off his uniform as he then walked up to the large log, thankfully it wasn't so large that the sleeves would go around it. With a little work Shinzo managed to get the log onto his back, the sleeves used as straps to keep it on his back as if it was a backpack. Shinzo then began taking a few steps forward and already it was proving more difficult to walk and keep his balance...but this was perfect...just what he wanted. After a few minutes of just walking around and getting used to finding his balance he began to run and then began to Shunpo. He noticed his Shunpo was considerably slower with the extra weight...yet it was all about getting from point A to B as fast as possible and with the least steps...

So Shinzo had set up two small chunks of the tree a good distance apart from eachother and began by shunpoing from one to the other, then stopping, turning and shunpoing back. He continued to go between the two trying to get to each one faster than the last time and with less steps. It didn't take long before Shinzo began to work up a serious sweat but this only pushed him harder...Shinzo wouldn't let his body give up, he'd push it as far as he could! even if he only got a step closer to the power of a Captain...hell...even a fraction! it was progress...he wanted to stand against a Captain one day and beat them in combat...that was what spurred him on and on. After some time Shinzo stopped to take a break...his breathing was a great deal deeper now due to being a little worn out...but he felt as if he had made progress...he was shunpoing at a slightly faster speed than before and with less steps...this meant that without the extra weight he'd likely be even faster...

He then wiped his forehead with his right forearm before undoing the straps and letting the heavy log hit the floor. "Alright...time to try that skill I learned about..." Shinzo walked into an open area, unsheathing his Zanpakuto as he then stopped. Shinzo began to focus his breathing once again, getting into a rhythm as he raised his Zanpakuto into the air before trying to swing his Zanpakuto around his entire body. He knew this skill was risky and he soon found that out when he received a cut on his leg, but this was expected! he was trying something he'd only read about. Despite cuts opening up all over his body Shinzo powered on, trying to get it to a point where the cuts would at least lessen. He knew this skill was far from a perfect defence but if he could master it then even more skilled enemies would struggle...let alone weaker enemies...they'd find it impossible to get through...but Shinzo wouldn't rely on that. This Skill was just something he had to learn...who knew when it'd come in handy.

After awhile Shinzo stopped and fell to his knee's...cuts had opened up all over his body and blood dripped from them, running down his body...Shinzo then looked to his Zanpakuto which was covered in his blood, he then grit his teeth as he pushed himself to his feet once again...even spilling his own blood wasn't good enough for this Zanpakuto! What the hell would it take! Shinzo then let out a frustrated sigh as he sheathed his Zanpakuto...he had to try a few more things...he wasn't done here yet...although his body was disagreeing with his mindset he couldn't just stop now! Shinzo walked over to a pile of cut wood, he then picked up a piece with his left hand before throwing it up into the air and aiming his right palm at it "HADO #33! SOKATSUI!" A blue torrent of energy then fired from Shinzo's right palm towards the chunk off wood before turning it into nothing but ash. It seemed with this skill Shinzo had gained a good level of control but still...it lacked some speed and power...but for now it was good enough. Shinzo however continued this...he had to be sure that what he had done wasn't a fluke and that he truly did have some control...However at this point Shinzo couldn't spare anymore energy to use the Hado...he just had to deal with what he had done.

Now it was time to focus on another Kido...thankfully one that was less taxing on the body but still. As Shinzo prepared to start practice on the second kido, he noticed that it had gotten darker...and also that something seemed off...it felt as if he was being watched. Shinzo looked around him and every direction he looked it was dark..."I've been out here for that long huh?..." Shinzo noticed a few glowing eyes looking at him from the darkness of the forest "Fuck...I really stayed out to long..." Shinzo then felt something appear behind him which caused his eyes to widen as he quickly shunpoed forward as fist came crashing down where he was "Tch..fuckin' hollows..." Shinzo looked at the large hollow that towered over him. "I can't underestimate this guy...but I can't waste much time here...if I do then the numbers will get the better of me and before I know it I'll become their dinner..."

As another fist came flying towards Shinzo he shunpoed out of the way and that was when an idea came to mind...Shinzo held out his left arm, his index and middle finger aiming at a tree he was shunpoing past. Firing a Bakudo #9 Horin at the tree, it wrapped around the trunk as Shinzo swung around the tree and back towards the hollow, unsheathing his Zanpakuto as he got closer. He may have been big but he was slow! and if Shinzo could get his back he could take him out! Shinzo then landed on the back of the hollows neck as he then prepared to stab his Zanpakuto through the back of the hollows head yet noticed two pairs of hands coming from behind him "Shit! he aint as slow as I thought!" Shinzo leaped up and over the hollows head, falling towards the ground head first, yet as he passed the hollows face he aimed his left palm at the hollows face and fired off a Hado #33 that crashed into the hollows face causing an explosion which caused it to stumble back. Shinzo then flipped and landed on his feet panting heavily

"I really can't afford to use anymore Hado's...I've got to finish this now!" Shinzo turned to face the hollow as he took a deep breath, he then began running towards the hollow as it sent one punch down towards him yet with a last minute shunpo he evaded the punch, another then followed to which Shinzo shunpoed into the air to avoid it, now appearing infront of the hollows face, his Zanpakuto held behind his head in both hands as he then brought it forward and slashed down at the hollows mask causing it to split in two. After the mask shattered the hollow disintegrated as Shinzo landed...Shinzo was now panting extremely heavily and it was just his luck that the burning feeling in his chest came again "Hah..gimme...a fuckin...break!" Shinzo clutched his chest with his left hand as he looked around at the other hollows slowly closing in on him "I can't fight another...I haven't got the energy...I need to get the hell out of here now"

Shinzo took a deep breath before shunpoing forward, thankfully he hadn't gone to deep into the forest and due to being able to shunpo slightly faster he was able to avoid anymore confrontations with hollows. Soon he found his way out of the forest and just infront of him was the Rukongai and after shunpoing off a few roofs he stopped on one and laid down on it...sprawling out as he looked up at the sky panting heavily "hah...that's what I call...cutting it close..." Shinzo grinned a little as he closed his eyes...the pain in his chest still remained yet he was so worn out he couldn't help but drift of for a few minutes...yet within these few minutes something happened.

Shinzo found himself in a dark area looking up at a large obelisk made of iron "What is this?" Shinzo then turned hearing a noise but everything around him was dark...and the noise was seemingly impossible to make out...Shinzo however got a truly bad feeling from it. He then felt a heavy pressure as he looked back at the obelisk that began to glow purple "The hell is this?" For some reason Shinzo couldn't move...he wanted to get closer but soon everything turned black. His eyes then shot open as he sat up, noticing he was still on the roof "The hell was that?...whatever...must have blacked out for a few minutes there" Shinzo made his way to his feet, the burning feeling in his chest gone as he sheathed his Zanpakuto and made his way back to the Seireitei...he needed to rest...so hitting the spa sounded like a good idea

Yakima nodded his head before he walked away from them Shinzo Harimaya and Aya Oda. Let see how far the two of you can go Yakima turned a corner, heading to his office. Instead of a pleasantly vacant hallway, he was met with a hallway filled with shinigami. All lined up to his office. He slowly took a step back, a shinigami turning to see him. His face lit up "Ah captain! Weve been patiently waiting for you!" "....shit He said under his breath as he sighed. He awkwardly made his way to his office between the new recruits, sitting down and wanting to jump out the Window. He got a stack of papers for the new recruits, writing down the names Aya Oda and Shinzo Hariyama on the first two. He set those apart from the rest and prepared himself fo hell "Next"

@phobos

He remained on the ground for a couple more minutes before finally pushing himself up. No point in crying over something pointless and got up, dusting himself off before touching his nose to see if it was broken. Doing so made him wince in pain, but thankfully it wasn't broken and just dislocated and took a deep breath while gritting his teeth. With a push, he popped it back into place and everything went white and could see sparkles.

Taito nearly blacked out from the sheer pain throbbing from his nose; if not for the fact he was used to such a feeling which was the only thing keeping him awake. A few more minutes passed before the pain ebbed away, though now his nose let out a faint whistle whenever he exhaled.'Ugh..gonna have to fix that later.'Using his hand to wipe off the dirt and blood from hsi face the best he could before continuing on his way with a slight limp as the strike to his crotch still affected him.

Unsure of where he was even going now and was just wandering through the pathways before coming upon a large building. He noticed a line of shinigami who looked nervous, seemingly recruits fresh from the academy. Making his way towards the line and was gonna ask the nearest person where he was only to stumble and bump into the guy instead.

A fresh wave of pain racked his body from his still sore nose hitting the guy's back.'Ahhhhhhhhhhh! fuckity fucking fucksticking fuck dick!'Clutching his face, cursing out all sorts of profanity as heads turned to him and some instantly recognized him. Panic settled into those who did and warned everyone to keep back from him.'Hn...god that stings! Um...is this..squad 10's barracks?'He asked the nearest of the men who gulped nervously and backed away while nodding.'Yes! I made it!'Throwing his fist up while running to the door, excited that he somehow found his way there.

Grabbing hold of the door to the captain's office and opened it with a wide smile.'Sorry for being late. I ha-'Having pushed the door opened too hard that it hit the wall and bounced back to slam against his foot. Biting his lip to hold in the scream, his cheeks puffing up and eyes watered; not wanting to shout in the captain's presence and stood there at the moment as he was in too much pain to move.

Sai continued to observe the spar between Kuro and Zento from afar, noticing how quickly things became heated... both figuratively and literally. 'Some things just never changes; the urge to win through any means necessary seems to also grow stronger with each generation' Sai sighed but couldn't help but chuckle at the two's unnecessarily violent spar. Taking steps forward, Sai shouted, loud enough for everyone within that area to hear, which wasn't intentional, she just wanted to be sure that she got the attention of both Shinigami. "RIGHT THAT'S ENOUGH!" Came her surprisingly stern voice which didn't match the amused smile she was wearing.

Taking one more step forward, the Captain shunpo'ed, re-appearing beside the close-ranged Shinigami before stretching a hand out in front of Zento's released Hado. She caught the blast within the palm of right her hand with ease, extinguishing it in a blink of an eye by clenching her hand into a fist before opening it again. Smoke weaved off of her right hand and into the air as she faced the two Shinigami. "I must say, I was incredibly impressed by your spar, however it seems that the both of you took it a little too seriously heh" She chuckled as she scratched her forehead with her right index finger sheepishly. "The meaning for this spar was for the two of you to showcase your skills and show me some of your capabilities. It was not to damage each-other to the point of having to go to Squad Four in order to recover" Stepping back, she gave the two room to give her their full attention as she held out their Zanpakutos with her left hand. "You two are officially unseated members of Squad Thirteen, however if any more spars of yours spiral out-of-hand and cause another member to be sent to Squad Four, you'll have to answer to me." The last portion of her sentence ended with a stern tone, serving as a warning not to go against her word. Soon Sai's smile returned after a short moment of silence. "You two are quite powerful, I'm glad to have you both within my Squad so we can work on controlling and growing the power that lies within you both!" Her smile grew a touch wider, still amazed at the display the two gave within a mere spar.

Yakima was calmky recruiting all of the fresh geaduates, looking surprisingly calm on the outside. On the inside, he wanted to go on a hollow killing spree but that would have to wait. It was for the next person in lin, Yakima about to say next. But before he could even start, a random shinigami bursted through his door, failing to notice it bouncing back towards his head. Yakima watched in silence, his face stoic as he wrote "Possible papereork jockey on it" He looked back up at the shinigami, shaking his head and scribbling it out.

As if nothing even happened, Yakima spoke "Take a seat, umm?" Yakima was trying to hint to the man for his name.

His hands were balled into fists, still fighting back the need to scream.'T-Taito..Akinawa.'He said through gritted teeth, wishing he could just stand there for the meeting, but knew that it was rude to do so.

Exhaling slowly; a faint whistling sound from his nose as he did so and grudgingly made his way to the chair. He dragged his foot along the carpeted floor for trying to walk on it would likely hurt him and carefully slid onto the chair. Upon inspection, the captain saw his clothes was dirty with a small stain of blood beneath his nose as he cleared his throat.'Um, right. My name's Taito.'Saying it again just in case it was missed last time and forced a nervous smile.
