"G-gyaaah!" howled Yoshimitsu as he was kicked across the floor of the barracks. he thought as he came crashing into a wall. "N-nice!" he called out, his left leg twitching above the rest of his crumpled form just in time to see the fireball launch. Yoshimitsu grimly questioned as he quickly adjusted his legs to flash-push himself off the wall just in time for the kido to fly past him, cratering the area that he was at rest in moments before. But before he had time to react to anything else, a scream of "OWOWOWOWOW!" echoed through the barracks. "ACK! Jesus, have you ever given yourself a shunpo-scrape on your chin?" he said, immediately spreading medical ointment across his bloodied chin-line. "Well, I'd better get serious now, since it seems like you've been the whole time," he muttered, taking a defensive stance, holding his sword with two hands in front of his face.

Taiki watched as his kido flew and exploded, the target managing to escape. Taiki was already dashing towards where Yoshimitsu had shunpoed only to be stopped in his tracks by the sudden cry of pain. He watch his opponent apply ointment to his chin a little confused. [i]What is with this guy? He talks big and then acts...like this. I don't know whether to knock him off his pedestal or feel bad for him...oh well. Nevertheless, I can't underestimate him.[/i] Taiki focused and could still feel Tsuzuri Raiden affecting him a little. He listened to Yoshimitsu talk about getting serious. "I was hoping that wasn't you serious...I don't know how much more of the clown act I can take." Taiki reached behind him and withdrew his zanpakutou from an equipment pouch. Flicking the combat knife's blade open, he held it in a reverse grip. "Hado #4, Byakurai." Taiki pointed his index finger at Yoshimitsu, firing a stream of lightning ton force him to move.
