[quote=YuukiSuzuki] The young female only watched as the young Captain moved back away from the raven haired Shinigami. Now her opponent, golden orbs narrowed slightly further than normal. Both looking of focus and still slightly uneasy at having to face a Captain. When the blade was pointed towards her from the male, she heard a humming within the back of her mind. Dokuga simply reminding Kyoko of his presence, they were one in the same after all. Nodding quickly at the statement, it didn't take long for the white haired female to make a choice. She stated simply, her right hand coming to rest on the hilt of her Zanpakuto (although she was ambidextrous), her gaze never leaving the Captain before her - now opponent. Exhaling slowly, Kyoko gave a simple nod of the head towards the Shinigami before her, showing that she was then ready for this test of hers to begin.

He started off with a byakurai in her direction, aiming to make sure it wouldn't hit Kazuya, but would go in her direction. Directly after this, he moved his zanpakuto to a guarding position, spread his feet slightly to make sure he could defend any attacks. He waited from there for her to move closer so that they could spar without any worries about injuring Kazuya.
