[B][i]Mikazuki Nakajima[/i][/b]

Mikazuki was at a loss for what to do when Bakuto and Tony launched their attacks early without even a pretense of coordination. But Darius had centered them all again when he put up a barricade of glowing energy in front of them, and that re-centered the young man. Looking up and knowing that Hollows can [i]fly[/i], he channeled spiritual energy through his left arm, lifted it up, then shouted: "Barrier, Barrier, Barrier!"

Three round shields were deployed in the skies above them, denying those areas and the ground below them to the Bat-shaped Hollow. He then shouted, "Hokori, Adams-Himura, follow Darius - Mr. Darius' - advice! Mr. Darius, I'll keep acting as area denial for the enemy's flyer and also a source of emergency healing, but if you or the others have AA capability as part of your Kido, it would save me some effort!"

Mikazuki grit his teeth; just because he no longer liked his Grandfather didn't mean that he hadn't absorbed lessons from him or Mr. Leonid. Like many boys his age, he was interested in military-related topics, although with him... He was more interested in deterring violence, in preventing the horrors of war by researching its causes and how it is done, than dishing out force - Not that he was bad at that last part, though.

For both himself and the others, the boy said, "Do not let them goad you into a duel - This is a group fight and it will stay such! Each of us has an assigned duty and we're following them to victory!"

To be honest, he wanted to impress Darius and the others by his proficiency in tactics. He kept a clear head not just because he was [i]supposed[/i] to keep a clear head, but because it made others proud that he had one. Quite frankly, the fact that he, a sixteen-year-old, was able to keep his cool when two people older than him just rushed in thinking they were invincible... 

The substitute shinigami grinned slightly as he prepared to put up more barriers, staying close to Darius for mutual protection; both of them were best at barriers and he was the main healer with defensively-oriented techniques. As long as they, and he, focused on the objectives - Elimination of the enemy - [i]They can win this[/i].
