No Pain no technique

[schitzo7830]

Aiko stood in the wide courtyard. He was waiting for his sparring partner to show. He told all of the captains he was looking for someone to train with. Aiko was getting sick of the usual beating on his division. Plus Captain Saru was getting mad about all the injured men that resulted from Aiko's "Training".

You think they will send someone worthy Aiko? Spoke Miyu. Aiko shrugged in response.

He didnt really care who they sent. He knew very simply that if they couldnt hold their own they would be in pain by the end of the day.

Aiko's hand rested on the hilt of his blade as he sat cross legged in the middle of the courtyard. He noticed the place was about 50 yards wide each way. Tree's sorrounded the place as well as a little stream that flowwed around them. Aiko could smell the sweet smell of lily's close by. Unbeknownst to most he rather enjoyed flowers. They were calm and beautiful.

Aiko stood up and started stretching and stroking the scar on his cheek. If someone didnt show in the next fifteen minutes he was going to leave. He had been there all day waiting for someone. Either they were to scared or to busy.

[Darkoda]

Shin was wandering around the rooftops of the Soul Society yet again, blatantly disregarding the fifth division's warning that he shouldn't do that. Well specifically, disregarding the pirate. If he was lucky, the guy would come chase after him again and he could test out what he learnt recently on him. If he thought that Shin was hard to catch before, he wouldn't like to try keeping up with him now.

Hey, pay attention, we're over Division 11 right now.

So? It's not like they ever figured out who wrecked half the compound, we stuck all the blame on that random crazy rogue remember?

Don't say I didn't warn you......

Shin's journey ended when he ended up jumping off a rooftop and landing right in the corner of a large courtyard. It seemed that someone wised up and just made the 11th Division training facility outdoors. Either that or they ran out of money; Shin was leaning towards the latter.

Absently stroking his forehead - he managed to get the headband damaged and now it wasn't working at all, he needed to go get that thing fixed - he walked out of the shadows he landed in, searching for the exit of the place. There was only one guy in the entire area looking ticked off about something - oh right, he was the new vice captain. Not like he really cared much.

[schitzo7830]

There was a loud thud in the corner of the courtyard. Aiko sighed. He turned his head seeing someone looking at him. Aiko stood and looked at the man raising an eyebrow. Was this my sparring partner? He thought to himself.

Aiko's hand didnt leave his blade. As hestared at the figure in the shadows. As it exited he noticed it was Shin Darkoda. He was in the second division but Aiko didnt know what seat. Aiko pleaded with himself hoping this wasnt the person they sent to train with him. If it was he was surely dissapointed with what the Gotei 13 thought of him.

Aiko walked over to the young man studying him. He was about 6'2 and was dark skinned with darker hair. His eyes were the big feature that drew Aiko in. They were red-ish color with cat like iris. This unnerved Aiko for a reason unknown to him.

"What are you doing wondering around the rooftops of division eleven? I mean surely you arent the one they sent to train with me?"

[Darkoda]

Shin stared down the vice-captain - he really couldn't remember his name yet - as his face turned into a look of displeasure upon seeing him. Shin was getting the idea that the guy was about to annoy him, as everyone in Division 11 had a high tendency of doing. He seemed to be unnerved after staring at his eyes too. He gained a smirk at that thought.

"What are you doing wondering around the rooftops of division eleven? I mean surely you arent the one they sent to train with me?"

Did this guy actually think that Shin would be bothered wasting his time on a berserker?

"Why would I bother fighting against you? What are you going to do, try to poke me to death with that oversized sword....what was your name again?

He looked relaxed, but he was ready to move out of the way for when the guy likely tried to hit him.

[schitzo7830]

"Why would I bother fighting against you? What are you going to do, try to poke me to death with that oversized sword....what was your name again?

Aiko laughed at the man. Did he seriously beleive that Aiko would let that go? He wasnt really annoyed by the man. He actually liked to see someone with guts. Most shinigami would suck up or kiss his ass. It got really annoying.

My name?... My name is Aiko Tanaka. And you didnt awnser me... Why are you wondering around division 11's roofs?"

If he had to ask again Aiko would "poke" him. Except it wouldnt be a normal poke. It would be a large gash somewhere in the mans upper torso. As much as Aiko liked he wasnt kissing his ass he had disrespected him. And that pissed Aiko off.

[Darkoda]

"My name?... My name is Aiko Tanaka. And you didnt answer me... Why are you wondering around division 11's roofs?"

Ah, that was his name. Aiko, not that hard to remember.

"Taking the scenic route to Division 12. I see that you guys actually got another training room after that last one burnt down. Let's see just how much abuse it takes before this one gets destroyed too."

He took another glance around the area. "Trees, I'm surprised that someone here hasn't smashed all of them yet."

[schitzo7830]

"Taking the scenic route to Division 12. I see that you guys actually got another training room after that last one burnt down. Let's see just how much abuse it takes before this one gets destroyed too."

Ahhh yes. The last training ground had burned down. Aiko and his captain had a little sparring session and it got a little out of hand. Aiko grinned remembering how he had held par for a while.

Then Shin looked around before speaking again. "Trees, I'm surprised that someone here hasn't smashed all of them yet."

Aiko sighed. He was getting sick of everyone thinking all of squad 11 were crazy monsters that only loved to fight. Aiko liked to read, he enjoyed music, and he did have a caring side to him. He just didnt show these things to everyone.

" You know, Contrary to popular belief not all of us are crazy drunken baboons. We enjoy nature."

As Aiko finished his sentence a small group of drunken division 11 men made their way across the courtyard contradicting everything he had just said. Aiko shot them a look that sad RUN. They quickly made their way out of the yard. Aiko turned back to the man even more pissed then he had been before.

[Darkoda]

Shin heard the man's sigh at his statement, signifying his disbelief. he personally didn't see the problem; the division burnt down their last few training halls, and sends the most amount of people to fourth division. It was a wonder that the place wasn't a burnt out crater.

" You know, Contrary to popular belief not all of us are crazy drunken baboons. We enjoy nature."

Then a few random members walked by, and shot that statement straight to hell. Aiko then giving them a death glare didn't help, although the speed they managed to hobble away with drunk was impressive. They even managed not to fall over in a pile of idiots until they got outside the training square. Shin just raised an eyebrow at Aiko's clearly ticked off demeanor.

"So.....those guys are really sober? Your division members are quite pathetic then."

[schitzo7830]

"So.....those guys are really sober? Your division members are quite pathetic then."

That comment pushed Aiko to the edge. There was very little that made Aiko hate someone. However when you continually disrespected him it was asking for a beating. AIko figured he should give the kid a warning before striking. That afterall would be the more honorable thing to do.

"Watch your tongue. Disrespect me or my division again with that mouth and i will have you taste my blade."

Aiko had practiced Iado and was very good at a quick draw defense and offense. He was only a few feet from the man and could easilly close the distance and land a blow. Aiko tightened his hand on the hilt and bent over slightly. He would go for the waiste if the man disrespected him again.

[Darkoda]

"Watch your tongue. Disrespect me or my division again with that mouth and i will have you taste my blade."

Oh dear, he's really mad now.

Shin just stretched out his body like a cat, cracking some joints in his body and drawing his zanpakuto. If the guy tried anything, it wouldn't take much for him to just move out of the way, he wasn't that close to him and Shin definitely was not slow.

"I call it like I see it. If you think you can actually cut me, feel free to try, it's been awhile since I've sent someone from 11th Division to the hospital."

[schitzo7830]

Aiko was pissed and drew his blade. He wasnt letting this kid slide. This kid was arrogant and annoying. Aiko locked eyes with them man and gave him a glare.

"Apparently you forget i am a Vice Captain now. I dont give a damn who you think you are or what so called acomplishments you have but i earned this position."
Aiko didnt feel like giving the kid a chance to respond immediatly.

Aiko rushed forward and slash downward with his souba and then arking the blade back up he went for the throat. If the man parried low his neck was screwed. He would most likely jump away however. After attacking Aiko flash stepped back and cut a tree down. He dropped it on where the man had been standing. He didnt think the kid was that fast but just in case he was Aiko went into a defensive stance. His zanjutsu was what Aiko had this position for. The boy had picked the wrong person to fuck with on this day.

[Darkoda]

Shin's smirk only kept growing as Aiko drew his blade. His statement about being a Vice captain didn't particularly concern him, and him choosing to attack immediately was actually quite typical of the division members. With a mock sigh he just hopped back, out of the way of his downward swing, then knocked his souba away from his neck with his own zanpakuto.

"Too slow there."

He tried to prove him wrong by shunpoing over to a tree and cutting it down. The tree crashed right where he was standing, making quite the mess. It likely would have hurt if he had stayed there. Shin looked down at Aiko from on top another tree as he got into a defensive stance and gave him a slow, sarcastic clap.

"Good job, that's one tree down. Keep it up, and you can manage to destroy all the trees on your own."

Without bothering to wait for a reply, Shin raised his left hand, finger pointing at Aiko.

"Bakudo #8, Geki. Hado #4 Byakurai."

The general idea was that either the bakudo would paralyze him in red light for the hado to hit, or if he dodged, Shin would just shoot the hado at wherever he looked like he would end up.

[schitzo7830]

"Good job, that's one tree down. Keep it up, and you can manage to destroy all the trees on your own."


Aiko was frustrated and annoyed that the kid was able to jump out of the way so easilly. 'That basterd, How dare he mock me!' Aiko thought to himself. Then he noticed the man was in a tree not far from where he was. A few feet to Aiko's left was another tree. When he saw the man preparing Kido he jumped to the left and out of the way of the binding kido. he then chopped down the tree next to him to act as a sheild against the man other kido.

Well the tree was falling and Aiko's body was concealed he figured he would take the time and use it to his advantage. Aiko ran up the tree as it fell and then jumped high up into the air The Soul Society's sun was directly behind him. If Shin looked up at him he would be blinded. Aiko came down on where the man was with a diagonal slash. He arced his body forward so the other man couldnt attack his lower body.

After connecting with something, Eithe the tree or the mans blade, Aiko used that thing as leverage to push off him and jump back away from the area. AIko whistled and laughed as the dust settled from the falling tree. He was ready for the man to come after him and attack.

" I will cut this whole damn place in half if it means i could stain my blade with your blood."

[Darkoda]

If anything, Aiko was quite quick on his feet, Shin would give him that. He watched Aiko dive to the left, out of the way of his binding kido, and shifted his hand over to his new location. Aiko chose to destroy yet another tree though, this time to use it as a shield to absorb his white lightning. Granted, Shin's attack just blasted a hole straight through the tree, but by that point Aiko had ran up the tree, diving from the sky like some attempt at a eagle.

Shin looked up at the falling shinigami, and tapped his left hand to his sunglasses, a silent jab at his obvious attempt to blind Shin using the sunlight, and flash stepped just as Aiko's blade neared him. Standing in the centre of the training area, he watched the vice-captain use the tree to flip himself back into the open area, as the tree fell to the ground. That was three down.

" I will cut this whole damn place in half if it means i could stain my blade with your blood."

"Oh? So much for not being a bunch of crazy baboons."

Shin then vanished yet again, this time appearing to the left of him with a snap kick straight to the head, which was immediately followed by a roundhouse kick to the chest which would likely knock back Aiko if it connected, and leave some bruised ribs. Whether or not the combo connected, Shin leapt back in a defensive stance, his reiatsu flaring.

"Let's kick this up a notch then. Embrace the darkness, Kumori."

A fox-tail formed on the hilt of Shin's zanpakuto as he started grinning, his posture looking far more feral than before.

[schitzo7830]

Aiko was furious, The man had continued to mock him continually. Then the man had the guts...the balls to challenge him. Aiko started to laugh, He noticed he was sweating. Slowly his laugh grew as he noticed the fox tail on the end of the man's blade.

"Are you kidding me? You have to be joking? A fox to be killed by a kitten. Well today must not be your lucky day, You will be the first other than my captain to witness my shikai.

Aiko stepped back and breathed in slowly. As his reitsu flared around him a red glint started to form around him. He put his sword infront of him and placed his left foot slightly infront of his right, Bending his knees and lowering his body and getting a better center of gravity. Aiko smiked and then his reitsu exploded and he felt the ground around his feet tighten. The other man should easilly see and feel Aiko's reitsu. Hopefully Aiko was striking some kind of worry in his head.

"HIKARU MIYU!

Aiko quickly pulled his sword into two seperate Katana's as the words exited his lips. Aiko decided not to waste any time. At his feet were a small log from the large tree he had cut down. Aiko kicked it at the man and then dashed forward. Most people couldnt keep up with his Shunpo but this other man was fast...very fast. Of course he would waiste a fe seconds with the wooden distraction. By the time the log had left Aiko's feet he was already on top of Shin. Aiko slashed sideways with both swords at were Shins torso was and then did a backflip as the log went under him and hit were Aiko had slashed.

Aiko then jumped into the closest tree and whistled and spoke " You know, When your good at zanjutsu you have a very simple attack patern. Get in close and attack. However when your an expert you have no attack patern. Im not only an expert with zanjutsu, But with two swords at once. Hahaha

Aiko laughed at the man, not knowing if he was injurd or not. Aiko had a feeling the man had moved out of the way but he was sure he hadnt moved far.Aiko was also sure that the man wouldnt be able to keep up with his zanjutsu. Or his shikai's true abilitie. He smiled knowing the man had no idea of what was to come.
