Kaizo Kaguza
- Squad 7 Barracks -
After finishing his paperwork for the day Kaizo was greeted by an old friend who suggested that they have a quick spar for some fun, Kaizo agreed to this and now found himself in the Squad 7 barracks courtyard facing his old friend. Many Squad 7 Shinigami had gathered to watch this spar as it was rare these sort of things happened and they could learn a lot from watching this. The Squad members listened and watched closely as Kaizo began speaking "
I'm surprised you're here...I thought you wanted to spend the rest of your days relaxing?"
The man standing opposite Kaizo was the former Captain of Squad 7, Akira Tosa. He was a well respected Captain among the Gotei 13 but he was a man who belonged outside these walls as he enjoyed travelling...yet that didn't mean he wouldn't drop in every now and then to make sure his replacement wasn't slacking "
Well I felt like dropping in suddenly, I want to make sure you aren't slacking...after all I can't have you dying now can I? after all...it will be me they call in to replace you"
Kaizo grinned at Akira as he stretched his arms out to his side before placing his hands on the back of his head as he then spoke "
You left the Squad in capable hands, don't worry...and if I'm not mistaken that sounds like doubt to me." Kaizo narrowed his eyes slightly at his former Captain
hearing Kaizo speak Akira awkwardly rubbed the back of his head with his right hand, ruffling his already messy hair "
A-Ah N-No it's not like that! I am very confident in your abilities but I wouldn't be doing my duty as your former Captain and friend if I didn't drop in to give you a little spar to keep you from becoming rusty..."
Kaizo let his arms drop to his side as he listed to Akira before speaking "
You get off easy this time...but anyway, lets not keep these good people waiting. I'm sure they're itching to see a good hand to hand spar!" Kaizo grinned as he took his stance, raising his arms up as he prepared himself
Akira nodded before grabbing his cloak and pulling it off, throwing it to the side as it slammed into the ground, cracking the floor slightly. Akira then cracked his neck as he then took his stance "
I hope you're ready Captain Kaguza...Wouldn't want you to get beat infront of your Squad"
Kaizo chuckled a little at what Akira said as he then spoke "
I see you're coming at me with everything right out the gate...you can bet I'm ready, the real question is...are you?" Kaizo thrust his body forward as he disappeared before reappearing before Akira, throwing his right fist towards Akira's face
Akira himself grinned as he listened to Kaizo, he then took a deep breath as he watched Kaizo shunpo before him. Seeing Kaizo throw his right fist towards him he stepped forward and to Kaizo's left, lowering his body slightly as he gripped Kaizo's right wrist with his own left hand as he threw his right fist up to Kaizo's gut.
Kaizo watched Akira avoid his simple punch, he then felt Akira grab his right wrist as he then noticed Akira attempting to send a punch into his gut, yet Kaizo wasn't having this. Kaizo used his free left hand to knock Akira's right fist and arm away before quickly raising it up to bring his elbow down on Akira's head only to fail
Before Akira found himself caught by this elbow he shunpoed forward and behind Kaizo, the two now back to back as Akira spun to his right, raising his right arm up and gripping his right fist with his left hand as he aimed to hit Kaizo in the back of the head with his right elbow.
Kaizo watched as Akira avoided his own elbow and got behind him, Akira now trying to retaliate with his own elbow. Kaizo leaned his head forward slightly as he spun to his left, raising his left forearm as he blocked Akira's elbow "
I say we kick this up a notch..." Kaizo grinned a little as he used his left forearm to push Akira's right arm up as he then stepped in closer to Akira with his right foot, bringing in his right fist to hit Akira in the right side of his rib cage.
Akira watched his attempt at an elbow stop dead, Akira then listened as Kaizo spoke before replying "
I agree" Akira watched as Kaizo sent in another right punch yet Akira wasn't going to let such an attack hit him. Using Shunpo he appeared before Kaizo who was still looking where Akira was, Grinning Akira leaped into the air, twisting his body slightly as he aimed to hit Kaizo's head with the top of his right foot yet his foot cleanly went through Kaizo's head causing his momentum to keep carrying his body, this sight caused Akira's eyes to widen "
An afterimage!"
"
Correct!" Kaizo would appear in the air before an Akira who was now almost horizontal in the air, Kaizo grinned as he then slammed the top of his right foot into Akira's gut sending him flying across the courtyard before he landed and watched Akira roll across the floor a few times before finding his way to his feet and sliding to a stop
Akira once having stopped chuckled a little as he then spoke "
I can't believe I forgot you could do that..." Akira took a deep breath as he then used Shunpo to appear before Kaizo, his body held low with his right fist already inches from Kaizo's gut
Kaizo watched Akira closely knowing he'd try close the gap fast and wasn't shocked to see him appear right before him, Kaizo went to hit Akira's right fist away with his left hand as he twisted his body to his right yet his eye widened seeing Akira's right foot coming towards his face "
SHIT!" Kaizo had just enough time to raise his right forearm to the oncoming kick before he was sent flying back in the air before landing on his back, skidding across the floor before flipping himself back to land on his feet as he skidded to a stop "
Using my own tricks on me huh? I can't stand for that..." Kaizo slammed his left foot down as he then shunpoed towards Akira who was now standing still waiting for Kaizo. Kaizo appeared before him, very low to the ground as he used his right leg to sweep let at Akira's legs to try knock him off balance
Akira watched as Kaizo attempted to knock him off balance yet he simply leaped into the air and spun forward, extending his left leg to bring the back of his foot down on Kaizo
Kaizo completed his spin and got both feet flat on the ground as he stood up straight only to notice Akira bringing his left foot down on Kaizo. Seeing this Kaizo raised his right hand up to Akira's left ankle and gripped it stopping the attack. Kaizo then stepped to the right slightly as he then threw Akira by his leg towards a nearby wall, this sent Akira into a spin as he headed towards the wall
Now spinning the air, Akira soon found himself flying towards a wall "
That doesn't look good!" Akira managed to sort himself out the air as he landed on the flat surface of the wall with both feet as he then used it like a springboard to send himself back at Kaizo, quickly he closed the gap as he threw a powerful right fist towards Kaizo
Seeing Akira coming at him him Quickly he raised both forearms to Akira's oncoming punch, once the punch connected the two seemingly stopped still as the ground shook a little as a decent sized chunk of the earth behind Kaizo crumbled. The ground beneath Kaizo's feet was now cracked yet he had Akira right where he wanted him, Kaizo forced all his weight back as he brought his right foot up into Akira's gut, this connected with great force and Kaizo managed to perform almost an entire back flip with Akira on his foot before releasing him, sending him flying through the air once more as Kaizo landed with his back to Akira who was in flight towards another wall, yet this time the force was far to much to stop himself and so he braced himself for impact as he slammed through the wall and into the on sight spa's of Squad 7.
Akira found himself in the spa's waters looking up at Kaizo who was now standing at the edge of the spa, the light from the broken wall shining in behind him "
I'd say that's enough for today..." Akira looked at Kaizo and frowned slightly before standing up from the Spa's waters and stepping out of it "
Yeah, Yeah. Don't worry I'll get this fixed" Kaizo looked at Akira and listened before replying "
Don't worry about it...this happens more than you think. I'll get my Squad members to fix it, it's good that they learn how to do this..."
Akira shrugged and walked out the large hole in the wall and into the courtyard "
Can't say I didn't offer..." walking over to his cloak he bent down to pick it up before standing up and putting it on, Kaizo now walking towards him "
Well that aside. How long you staying for?" Akira looked down at his wet clothes and then at Kaizo "
I only came for a quick visit and a light spar...although I didn't need the bath thanks."
Kaizo chuckled a little looking at a seemingly moody Akira before speaking "
You needed it..." Akira frowned at Kaizo before speaking "
Hey it isn't easy finding somewhere to wash when your out on the road!...Well anyway I suppose I could stay until my clothes dry" Kaizo listened to Akira speak before nodding "
I can tell you now there are plenty of places you could go to for a quick wash...and well that could take awhile seeing as you looked like a drowned rat" Akira narrowed his eyes at Kaizo before speaking "
Those places are expensive! and hey! aint no way to talk to your former Captain!"
Kaizo shrugged and walked passed Akira towards his barracks "
Yeah, Yeah...whatever ya cheapskate! And you lost the spar so I can diss you if I want" Akira looked to his right then spoke "
Tch!...whatever" Akira followed close behind Kaizo before hearing Kaizo speak seriously as they were now out of ear shot of the Squad 7 members "
While I appreciate you going easier on me infront of my members I'd prefer that you didn't...I'm not ashamed if I lose to an opponent that is far better than myself...I am however ashamed if I win against an opponent I know is far better than myself who is holding back..."
Akira listened to Kaizo and rubbed the back of his head with his right hand as he looked off to the right "
So you could tell huh?...Well I can't help it, perhaps one day we can take our spar outside the Seireitei...then I will perhaps go all out" Akira knew how Kaizo was, yet he himself knew the two weren't sparring to the best of their abilities..."
So Kaizo~ Any new ladies joined the Squad since I handed it over?" Kaizo let out a sigh as they continued to walk "
A few actually...but I sure as hell aint letting you get near em'" Akira raised his right eyebrow as he showed some disbelief on his face "
Aww come on! You know I'll treat them right!" Kaizo stopped then looked over his left shoulder at Akira "
No. Women have just started to join this squad again, I don't need it's reputation tainted by you..." Kaizo then turned to face forward as he then continued speaking "
I swear...you've hit on nearly every woman in the Seireitei, you think you'd get the message already..." Kaizo then continued walking as Akira questioned what the message was "
Wait...what was the message!?"
