Captain and VC

[Larson Toyfa]

((okay, I suck at making kick ass titles.))

"Close your eyes. Breathe. Relax. Find your center. Now STRIKE!" The dojo rang with a chorus of kiais, and then a single strike of wood against plastic. Saru smiled at his class. "That was great. You all may leave now. Be here next week on time this time." The class left, just as Hatakashi walked in. "They seem like a good group this time, sensei. You must be doing some great things with them on the days you aren't busy." Hatakashi shook his head. "No, Saru. It is you who is doing great things with them. I am proud of you."

Saru often enjoyed revisiting that memory, one of the few happy memories from his life. Remembering the memory in the middle of a battle would of made his old sensei even more proud, as Saru blocked off attacks that would kill regular hollow and injure most Shinigami with his bare hands. It was the first of three training periods for his squad. He had too many underlings to train at once. After a few more well thought out attacks, Saru called it a day and waited for his VC to show up. For Saru to train he had to have his VC help him, Aiko Tanaka.

" Shit... This is getting boring..." Aiko kicked the last thug back into a wall. The man dropped to the ground cluching his gut. Aiko had spent his day in the Rugonkai as usuall. Beating down thugs and just having some fun. But today was a special day. Aiko's new captain Saru Kurushimi wanted Aiko to meet him at the dojo and help him train.

" I swear if i have to train with one more of those academy brats with a god damn wooden sword.. Aiko stepped on one of the thugs back as he made his way to the dojo. Aiko had been Division 11's Vice Captain for a while now. He enjoyed it. Seated officer's showed him respect and captains no longer gave him shit...Or at least not often. This was the first time the new captain had asked him for really anything. Usually he was just suppose to fallow boring ass orders and walk around in his spare time. Something that bored him to death

As Aiko arrived at the dojo he saw most of the students rushing out. Well if he doesnt want me for that than what does he?... Aiko entered the dojo and saw his captain towards the back. Aiko instantly sized him up out of habit. He knew he couldnt beat him but fighting him would sure be fun. Aiko kneeled and bowed traditionally then spokeIm here senpai...

[Larson Toyfa]

Saru was lost in thought again, remembering some of his days from the police academy. After an awkward moment of silence, Saru spoke. "Aiko, I know that you have been VC here for a few weeks before I was appointed Captain. I also Know that you prefer to go into the Rugonkai to find thugs and ruffians to fight. In this training, which is also your training, you will be fighting against me." Saru got up, and turned to face his VC.

Saru, you know that if he fails to learn, one day you might end up- Hitotsuboshi, you pick the worst times to remind me of things I already know. Aiko didn't look all that smart at first glance, but under a detailed study, he looked like a skilled, intelligent shinigami. He gave Aiko a brief smile. "If you hold back when we train, you will die."In an instant, Saru had Hitotsuboshi drawn and moving to disembowel Aiko.

[schitzo7830]

" If you hold back, You will die" his captain spoke before darting toward Aiko with his sword drawn. Aiko wasnt expecting such a wonderful delight. As his captain approached him, Aiko drew his blade.

Aiko jumped forward and slashed at the man distracting him then jumped straight over him and half spun, Turning around facing the man he calls Senpai again Aiko went for the mans leg. If his souba connected the double bladed katana would completely destroy his captains leg. When to blades slash only three inches apart hits flesh it causes lots of damage.

If Aiko landed a blow this early in the fight he would be sorely disappointed in his new captain.

[Larson Toyfa]

Saru was not about to disappoint his Vice Captain. After watching Aiko preform a risky flip over him, Saru spun and blocked the attack at his leg. "Lesson one: Never jump over your opponent. it leaves you open for too long." Saru twitched his wrist, and a small cut appeared in his pants. "Now, how fast are you?"

With the flash of a grin, Saru launched into a series of slashes at Aiko torso, tossing in a few feints as he saw fit. Hitotsu, is he holding back any power? If he is, I can't feel it. Should we push him to use his Shikai? Not yet. I want to see how well he has the basics.

[schitzo7830]

Aiko was happy his captain had the balls to tempt him. "Lesson one: Never jump over your opponent. it leaves you open for too long." Saru twitched his wrist, and a small cut appeared in his pants. "Now, how fast are you?"

Aiko smirked and decided to taunt his captain " Im as fast as i need to be. And if this is your fastest Aiko continued to parry the blows from Saru's onslaught " Im highly....disappointed"

Aiko Caught Saru's blade inbetween the two blades of his Souba. 'Aiko, If you break me again i swear'-. " Calm down Miyu, i got this." Aiko accidently spoke out loud.

Aiko slid his blade to the left making Saru's blade fallow. He used these seconds to jump up and kick his captain in the chest, sending him back a few feet. He looked dead at his captain. " Hows that for speed?"

[Larson Toyfa]

Saru saw the attack coming and smiled right before he let his vice captain kicked him in the chest. He even stumbled a bit to make it look like he was caught off guard. that's when he laughed. "That was an alright move. Try this one on." Saru let loose some more reitsu, and slashed his sword at Aiko. Before the blade would connect, he flash-stepped behind his vc and reversed the slash. Riaght as it was about to connect, Saru flash-stepped back around to where his first attack was aimed, and followed through, wondering if his vc had the skill to keep up that fast.

[schitzo7830]

To pull back a attack after lunging forward to strike, So Aiko was impressed by his captains talent as he watched him move behind him. Aiko turned his body spinning to block the attack, His blade in his right hand. When his captain went to his other side, Aiko's left. As ap punch stabbed into Aiko's ribs his own hand smacked across the face of his captain.

AIko then jumped back away from his captain and grinned. " You know.... Your jut now starting to proove yourself as a captain to me....No offense sir. But let me show you how we fight here in the eleventh division

Aiko released a huge amount of reitsu. A giant green glow covered his body. Aiko smiled then spoke "My turn..." He rushed forward and slashed low at his opponet then interpretting his opponet's jump, Aiko jumped forward and slashed across Saru's chest. Aiko was loving this whole fight.

[Larson Toyfa]

Saru grinned at the nice display of reitsu that his VC was showing off. The next class would hate the fact they had to rebuild this room. He brought hitotsuboshi up in a standard defense, and watched the sparks that their two zanpaktous created. "Very nice. Now let me show you why they made me captain." He closed his eyes for a second, and then opened them, thrusting his hand out as he released a massive amount of reitsu. Saru punched Aiko in the chest, making him stumbled back several feet. His body glowed with a slight yellow tinge as the reitsu poured from Saru.

"Now, show me what you know!" He charged at his vice captain, twirling hitotsuboshi around in a fast series of slashes and thrusts, intent on drawing first blood. Saru, I am amazed. You are getting really into this. Do you plan on releasing me completely? Maybe Hitotsu. It all depends if Aiko can take it.

[schitzo7830]

"Very nice, Now let me show you why they made me captain"

The punch shook him. Aiko grinned as he stumbled back a few feet. He was too happy and their was a look in his eye, some would call crazy others would call insane. The ache in his chest ment that he was experiencing pain, Pain ment he was still alive. Aiko crouched down and held his blade out infront of him. He was ready to go for blood.

His captain said go full, and thats what he would do. He hoped his captain was ready. "Now, show me what you know!" Saru came at Aiko in a bloodthirsty way. he was swinging his blade to fast going for to many attacks at once. Aiko was parrying them and looking for an opening. Aiko watch him he leaves his left side open when he arcs around.[ Aiko smiled at Miyu's discovery even though he told her to shut up.

When the next opportunity came Aiko went for it, He deflected Saru's blade high. A basic technique to counter but Saru had been to much on the offensive. Aiko brought his blade from low to his waiste and slid the souba along the side of his captains ribs up tp blocking his captains sword again.

" Sorry about that sir, But orders where....TO GO ALL OUT! Aiko's yell was that of fury and fun, not anger. How much damage he did he was unaware of, what he did know... Miyu was wet.

[Larson Toyfa]

Saru was enjoying his spar with his vice captain, as he was actually making him focus on the fight. He didn't realize that he had left his left side open until he felt the harsh bite of blood leaving his body. Saru gave a light chuckle as he grabbed onto Aiko's sword arm. "Big mistake." He grinned at his VC. "Light up the sky, Hitotsuboshi!" With the usual flash of smoke, light, and reitsu over with, he spun the newly formed bo staff out, then jabbed the tip into Aiko's side. "Thrusting Light!" He charged the lightning bolt up, and released at point blank range into his vice captain. Saru then let go, and spun around at an amazing speed to smack Aiko on the side of his head with enough force to split it open like a mellon.

[schitzo7830]

As his captain grabbed hold of his sword arm Aiko laughed.It was a careless mistake, but worh it. Till his captain spoke, " Big Mistake, Lught up thesky Hitotsuboshi!"
A wooden Bo staff formed from somewhere Aiko couldnt see and then his senpai yelled something else and there was a giant electric shot in his shoulder. This shot traveled through Aiko and into Saru as Saru was still holding onto him.

Aiko used the few seconds to drop to one knee. He saw his captain moving around obviously going for another attack. His Bo staff was was coming straight at Aiko's head. Aiko had a very simple idea. Fall. Aiko fell back and sent his Souba at the leg of his still attacking captain.

The blade would either peirce straight through the captains calf or be able to cut it open. What ever happened Aiko didnt care to watch. After his attack finished Aiko rolled backwards and stood up facing his captain.

" So... I guess its my turn. Aiko Pointed his blade at the ground both hands on the handle. " Hikaru, Miyu!" The scar on Aiko'sface glowed a white ten about 2 pints of blood poured from it and formed a cloned right next to Aiko. the clone Had a copy of Aiko's Souba and pulled it from inside him.

Aiko unattached his Souba and turned it into two different katana's, His clone was doing the same thing. After they both were holding two swords instead of one Aiko and his clone began to encircle their captain. Ive never met another person who can mach my zanjutsu with two swords, Now lets find out how you will do against four...

[Larson Toyfa]

Saru felt the warm tingle as his own attack coursed into him and back into hitotsuboshi to be stored for another bolt. he had long ago found that his lightning strike could never be used directly to harm him. As he swung Hitotsu back around, his VC did the smartest thing and fell down. As Aiko thrusted out with his souba, Saru used his momentum and the end of his staff to vault over the lieutenant and roll out into a defensive stance.

As he slowly approached his VC while he was talking, Saru had to smile as he saw a clone of Aiko form next to him. "What's a matter, can't fight me by yourself?" He kept a mental eye on the copy as he followed the real Aiko as he circled him. "Zanjutsu meet Bojutsu!" Saru yelled as he thrust at the real Aiko and then spun around to strike at the fake one, getting into a rhythm of switching back and forth, blocking and delivering blows.

[schitzo7830]

Aiko ignored his captain and kept bloacking blows. He was watching for opening then he had an idea. The man only had a bo staff. That ment he could blaoc at top three times at once.

Aiko realized that he if he wanted there was a very simple tactic he could do. Aiko prepared for this and ordered his clone to attack. Miyu had to chip in a "be carefull" Before Aiko went for the attack.

The clone went right in after the captain, Jumping above the captain and flash stepping to the side of the captain. Then the clone sent the katana in his left hand at Saru's ribs as his right hand swiped at the back of Saru. This ment either his captain would have to take one of these blows or the ones Aiko was going for on the mans other side at the same time.

Well the clone was still in the air Aiko flash stepped to Saru's other side and did a similiar attack. The katana in his right hand went for Saru's arm as the one in his left went for the mans upper shoulder. He would feel the sting of sharp steel again. However Aiko wasnt risking another hit. After falling through The clone and him switched sides, flying past the man with both katana's in each hand sliding across the mans sides. Another attack that would be hard to dodge especially after his first set of attacks.

Aiko and his clone then flash stepped on different sides of the dojo. The clone dissolved and Aiko was huffing and puffing waiting to see just how bad the damage was. Hopefully he hadnt put his captain out of commision. "Hows that....For speed..."
