A good day to train.

[kensei]

A man with blood red hair walked threw the streets of soul society, in the court of pure souls. His straw sandals made a “clunk” sound with every step against the hard tile ground that made the path he walked on. A Zanpakuto hung on his left hip, held there by a white cloth strap. The man did not wear the basic shingami uniform, instead his leggings where white and his top was dark blue. His red hair was in a pony tail and reached down to his mid back. His sharp yellow eyes had the look of a beast, and particularly anger, anger that seemed to be devoted to the entire world.

The man took a right turn down the streets as he made his way into the Eleventh Division’s training grounds. Even though he was from the Sixth Division, the eleventh had the most extensive training ground, and it could take the most abuse. As he walked in a man walked up to him and said. “What are you doing here Sagara?” Sagara looked at him right in the eye and then lifted his hand and formed a fist. His middle finger came up and then went back down as he walked past him and into the training ground. “now to find a sparring partner.”

[Darkoda]

"Why do I get stuck with these odd jobs anyway?"

Shin was not a happy person right now. His day started off well enough with some shadowboxing, and a few laps around Seretei to improve his Shunpo skills. He certainly wasn't expecting his vice-captain to put him on "Guardian duty." Apparently there were too many people getting themselves injured during training in 11th Division and the Special Forces were assigned to keep an eye on things and report to the Commander General. Of course no one really wants to spend the day observing a bunch of idiots beat on each other so straws were drawn to determine the unlucky soul, and Shin lost.

'It can't be that bad, we both know it's more likely than not some hyper 11th Division thug beating on the new members. Just get his name and go.'

'I know that's most likely, but until whoever it is shows, I cannot leave. I can't even spar with anyone because I need to stay hidden in the event that the idiot is smart enough to know I'm in Division 2.'

'Sucks to be you then, I'm going to sleep, have fun.'

This promised to be a long day. Shin took note of the man called Sagara who entered the halls, but then, most everyone in 11th did something to that extent upon entering anyway.

[Borador]

The air blew Borador’s hair to the side as he awoke after a long nap on the 11th division’s training grounds. He had just enjoyed watching a intriguing fight between two 11th squad members.

Zaraka stood up his bare arms tensing as he stretched his shinigami outfit ripped at the sleeves to increase his swinging speed.

“Wow that was such a good nap.” He spoke to himself his straight face there as always as he began to look around for someone to spar with to show some of the 11th that division 7 could be just as powerful.


“Borador calm yourself you know that the 11th hate when you use there grounds.” Yaketora warned his wielder.

”You worry to much my friend.” Borador smiles hitting the end of the blade making the Razor sharp kriss enter his hand as he saw Sagara enter the ground wondering if he was here for a sparring partner or just to view a battle like always. “Sagara why are you here?” Zaraka questioned as he drew close his size, stature, and actions often mistaken him for an 11th division powerhouse. He finally reached Sagara waiting for an answer to his question holding Yaketora aimed straight down the tip only about a centimeter above the ground.

[kensei]

Sagara watched as two 11th division numb skulls knocked each others Zanpakutos out of there hands and to the ground. They then proceeded to pumble each other with there fists. He let out a sigh as he heard a familiar voice call out his name. He turned to look only to see Zaraka walking towards him. “Hey Zaraka, you know im just here looking for someone to spar with. What about you, wana spar?” Just then the man he had flicked off walked over to him placing a hand on his shoulder and pulling him so that Sagara turned around. The man was an 18th seat officer, a pathetic excuse for a shingami. He went to yell at Sagara only to have a fist in his throat. Sagara then raised his leg and kicked the man right in the chest sending him to the ground. He then turned around and looked at Zaraka.

Sagara was only five foot ten, and so he stood a good head under Zaraka. He had a athletic build to him, and was well toned. Despite the fact that he was indeed a bit smaller then most of these guys; his extensive training had allowed him to be able to take virtually any of them in a hand to hand fight even in a three or four on one, and most defiantly in a sword fight. For during his time in District Seventy-seven, he had learned several martial arts forms.

Three of the 11th division hulks looked straight at him. A voice the appeared in his head saying, “Come on! You know you can take these weaklings, do not let them push you around! Show them what a sixth division shingami can do!” Sagara shook his head and thought back, If I do that then I will only get in trouble with my captian.

[Darkoda]

Shin watched the newest ogre punch out the other baboon listlessly. Granted random violence was amusing, but it quickly lost its charm after two hours of the same stupidity. So far no sign of anyone who could possibly pass for his target, although with the actions of the redhead, the thug should show himself soon, if only to stop the other from encroaching on his territory. Sure enough, three hulking members glared at the newcomer, but seemed to have no intention of starting a confrontation.

'I've been going about this all wrong, they're all likely to enter and randomly beat on each other. The injured are just the idiotic who pick fights with those stronger than them.'

With that in mind, all he needed was to find out who were the strongest thugs that were overly aggressive, and he would have his culprits, and a reasonable explanation to give his Vice Captain. All he needed was to incite a little riot, and let the idiots sort out the weak and strong for him.

His smirk firmly in place, Shin adjusted himself on his perch on the training grounds' roof, and pointed a finger at the thugs who were glaring at the redhead.

"Hado #1, Byakurai."

It played out exactly as he predicted. The thug he zapped jumped in pain, and immediately launched a fist at the guy behind him, starting a brawl. A few more well placed shots, and half of the training room was ready to fight, with the other half quickly getting incensed. The only people who seemed relatively calm were Sagara, and some freakshow giant talking to him who seemed a bit insane. No matter, one of the other idiots were bound to get them involved in the warfare.

'This day might not be such a waste after all.' The sounds of people in pain were music to the spy's ears.

[Borador]

“Yes sparring would be very nice the thing I was looking for to stretch my limbs.” He smiled as one of the many dumb brutes came at him only to get caught after a foolish swing. ”we should most likely beat these few imbeciles first though so we can enjoy the silence. He dropped his hand down to the held 11th division member’s stomach speaking a few words. ” Kido 33 Blue fire, Crash down: *Incantation - Ye Lord! Mask of flesh and bone, all creation, flutter of wings, ye who bears the name of Man! Truth and temperance, upon this sinless wall of dreams unleash but slightly the wrath of your claws!”

A huge blue spiritual energy shot from his hands expanding into the man’s gut throwing him back and connecting with a few incoming 11th members. Zaraka smiles his enjoyed smile of combat he enters when he usually loses himself to it.” Sagara we must hurry this along I want to begin out match.” He stepped forward seeming to disappear behind a cloud of smoke as he rushes into a group of three with a thrust of his Zanpakuto’s hilt taking out the largest.


”These men are extremely weak, all of them simply worthless.” He raised a hand towards the other two members and lowers his head for a moment as if bored of this already, using the kido thrust a large wind like energy coming from his hands launching them into near by trees with a loud and unnecessary thud.

[kensei]

Sagara let out a sigh and said. “Your right, lets drop them quickly.” With that said he pulled out his Zankpakuto and his sheath. He turned his sword around so that when he would swing the blunt side of the blade would hit instead of the sharp side. He pushed his blood red hair out of his eyes as he ran towards the three hulks that where staring at him. The three pulled out there Zanpakutos and ran straight for him with swords in the air and to the side leaving them extremely vulnerable. These guys are complete armatures! He thought to himself as he jumped into the air dodging one of the guys swing. He took his sheath and swung it straight down knocking the man in the back of the skull. He fell to the ground creating a loud thud. Sagara turned to the other two and raised his sheath, blood soaked the end of it and sagara smiled. The two men both slashed downwards at him. Sagara sheathed his sword and held his sheath upside down. He rolled under the slashes and pulled his sword out and smacked one right behind his knees and with his sheath he jabbed straight up hitting the other one in the jaw and knocking him out. He got up and pulled his right arm back and then swung his sheath right into the mans head, hitting him right in the temple. The blow could have been fatal to a regular human but not a shingami, instead it just knocked him out.

Sagara turned around to see most of the guys already knocked out except three others that appeared to be working together. “Zaraka, we may have a decent fight yet.” As he said this he put his sheath back threw the white cloth and tightened it. He took on a fighting stance and waited for these other buffoons to make a move. His three foot blade might be considered small to others, but it was better for sagara because he could maneuver it easier, unlike his shinkai.

[Darkoda]

'Well, that was quick'

It was quite apparent after a minute that the insane and redhead thugs were the only decent fighters in the building. 'Strongest fighters? It's a good thing these idiots don't pick fight with 2nd Division, this is pathetic.' Shin watched a thug get knocked out from the redhead's sheath. 'I'm surprised he felt that with his thick skull' The training room looked like it was about to fall apart though, mainly due to the insane idiot who thought it was a good idea to use a level 33 hado in a wooden building.

'Hmm, this fight has lost its interest now that they're dropping too fast to feel much pain...'

A few more Byakurai, and what was left of the supporting pillars was burnt to a crisp. Shin immediately flipped to the ground, not wanting to go down with the building.

'There were only five idiots left standing, I wonder if they'll notice the crumbling building.'

The large crash and cloud of dust answered that question of him.

'That's going to smart, and there aren't any good hiding places out here. Ah well, the idiots probably won't even notice me.'

As he finished that thought, a particularly ugly ogre broke out of the wreckage, covered in dust, splinters and a multitude of bumps and cuts. To be expected when someone just dropped a building on you. He seemed a bit annoyed about getting crushed, and seemed ready to go crazy on everything.

The brute raised his zanpakuto high and roared "Crush Gigantor!" at the rubble.

'Gigantor, what is his zanpakuto, a real ogre?'

His shikai was to be expected. His zanpakuto turned into an oversized club with a series of spikes adorning it. A fitting weapon for a thug.

'Ah well, if he hits someone with that, the pain alone would be worth it and as a bonus, I'll have a reason to step in and "subdue" him.' With that, Shin leapt further back out of the idiot's range of sight and settled in for a show.

'Let the games begin.'

[Borador]

Zaraka stood up the rubble coming off of his back as he cracked his neck. “That really worked out some kinks.” He looked over in Shin’s direction for a moment turning his cat looking eyes back to the large goliath in front of him.

“Fun just for me.” He leaped up as the man swung his large club at him bring his weight down on his arm as it hit the ground stepping up a few inches perching on the man’s shoulder for a moment ,before spinning his body and forcing hand down once again using thrust forcing the man’s shoulder down.

Zaraka lands softly with a small laugh before feeling the goliath swing knocking him against a wall, but Borador using it to his advantage to once again use thrust to launch towers his enemy pulling his Zanpakuto up catching him along the arm and with a spin across the chest stumbling him back.

”You’re not as strong as I thought.” Zaraka frowns for a second before smiling even wider. “But if I defeat you quick I can fight with Sagara who will present much more of a challenge.”


He rose broke into a run closing the gap in seconds raising his knees into the giants chin forcing him into the air followed by a final thrust tossing him from site as he fell onto of another building Zaraka rolled his arms a small cut from where the club had caught his shoulder. “Bastard.” He turned to look for Sagara only to hear muffled words as another 11th jumps from the rubble his shikia in hand a large double sword.

”Once again an offered challenge, but I will let my friend Sagara in on the action.” He turned continuing his search for his friend.

[kensei]

Sagara let out a sigh as he looked at the man going into his shinkai. He looked at the man and decided he better take him out quickly, when another man got out of the rubble. Both of them where over six feet three and looked to be roughly 200 pounds of pure muscle. Sagara looked at Zaraka and said. “looks like I get t…” He was cut off by the man with the double sided sword kicking him in the chin and sending him sliding against the ruble. The wood cut him ever so slightly all across his back. “Your gonna pay for that!” As he said this Sagara seemed to take on a new personality, he became more serious and had an aura around him that would send chills down most peoples spines. “BURN KASAI!” As he said this his sword changed. The blade became five feet long, and the handle became seven inches long. The blade became seven inches wide, and at the blunt part of the blade was a inch long. An intricate golden pattern marked the blade up and down across the six inches of blackness, there was one inch of steal/silverfish color was thinner then the rest, as it should be for the blade.

Sagara ran at the two men only to have one of them instantly disappear and appear ten feet away. He thruster his sword to have it end five feet away. Sagara was cut across his arm. Sagara’s sword caught on fire as he swung it towards the man. It burned the man and caught his robe on fire. Sagara then ran at him while he was distracted and cut him across the chest.

[Darkoda]

Shin watched the fight, once again completely bored. One ogre with an oversized club; knocked out. Another with a claymore; this one knocked redhead away. A third that seems to be moving beyond shunpo and cutting with wind. Odd considering his Division. It would actually be potentially interesting if the guy wasn't so slow naturally that even with that speed Shin could easily keep up with him. The redhead got back up, and it appeared that he went insane too. He immediately released his sword with another annoying yell and charged at one of the thugs.

'So his shikai is an oversized fire sword. Hey, some of the people had burn marks, could I have actually found my target?'

It was an invigorating prospect; Shin wasn't looking forward to explaining to his Vice captain exactly why so many people are going to need to be dug up and transported to 4th Division.

'Takeiki, Tayte, Tsuno. None of them are stupid enough to begin to believe that this happened on its own so fast knowing me. Tsuno's the only one who will care though and he'll likely forget about it if I do what he told me to do in the first place. Both of these idiots fit the bill but I need to see the crazy one's shikai first. Maybe redhead will make him release it, otherwise, I'll have to do it myself.'

Under any event, Shin was much closer to actually having something to show for the day.

[Borador]

He looked upon the only one left standing in front of him his smile fading. “I am really growing bored of this I am just going to beat you and end it.” He raised his Zanpakuto horizontally to his head as a flame comes over the edges and he lets out a loud scream. “Smolder Yaketora!” The blades tip took a rounded shape as the sides grew wider his Kriss turning into a Giant cleaver as the flame begins to fade away.


”Now I end it!” He screams as his reitsu shoots a couple feet higher than his body, the red color in it getting darker as he spins his blade around his body the edges growing burning hot as the large man jumps at him. “Yaketora show them the burn.” He swings the blade ten times each one launching a slash of fire through the air pushing back his opponent till he is surrounded by some high rubble. “Kido 9: Strike *Incantation: Disintegrate, you black dog of Rondanini! Look upon yourself with horror and then claw out your own throat!*” He smiled as a red light held the man in place.


”Now I end it with this.” He stepped close to his opponent the air hot from his blade making the enemy burn as he grew near. Zaraka begins to beat the man with his knees and finally places the red hot blade into his chest before the red light disperses leaving the man to pass out Zaraka a small frown on his face. “You had power but you let a simply mistake end your fight.”

Zaraka turns to see what his Friend was doing with the other 11th member before turning a quick glance one again towards Shin’s position. HE laughs slightly and looks back over at the occurring battle his outfit’s upper robe falling off being burnt by the close flames from the Shikia ,before he finally lets the heat leave it.

[kensei]

Sagara grabbed the guy and threw him into some dirt where the man began to roll around. When the flame was extinguished sagara walked over to him and kicked down on his head breaking the mans nose and causing him to pass out. He then turned around and looked at his friend and said. “Lets get started shall we?’ He then let his black riatsu sore, going five feet above him. He took a battle ready stance as he waited for Zaraka to make the first move. He also looked at the other guy and thought to himself, I hope that guy doesn’t give us any trouble, but he wasn’t anywhere around the battle field when it started so he shouldn’t be a problem.

[Borador]

He tensed his muscles his reitsu going even higher above his head trying to impose on his friend. “The main event my friend for the final winner goes after the instigator.” He points his shikia towards Shin. “We need to give him a reason to start fights.” He smiled since the kido he used earlier on the 11th members. Zaraka smiles a large smile stepping low to the ground he muscles seeming to expand as his shikai lit again on fire making his well toned chest seem to tighten up.

“You ready or should I just go for it.” When he said this he raised a hand using thrust aiming it at his opponent’s feet using one with his sword hand aiming at his chest. Zaraka launched himself forward his speed closing the gap, but realizes his strength may lack a lot giving most of his ability to his feet.


Borador raises a hand as he launched to his opponent using the first thrust to knock up dust to mess up the vision of his opponent as he drew close with his sword behinds him and a hand in front of hi stating once again. “Kido 33: Blue Fire, Crash Down *Incantation - Ye Lord! Mask of flesh and bone, all creation, flutter of wings, ye who bears the name of Man! Truth and temperance, upon this sinless wall of dreams unleash but slightly the wrath of your claws!” A large blue blast comes out near his opponent’s chest while swinging his sword up to ward’s his opponent’s head the sides once again glowing red with heat.

[Darkoda]

'Those idiots know I'm here don't they.'

Honestly, subtlety was not their strong point. Staring at his location so often is a bit of a giveaway that you know someone's watching. Well, it's not as if he was particularly hidden, he was just standing in the shade watching them go at it.

'Anyway, on to the real problem. Both of those idiots have fire based zanpakuto, and both look like they play out this little show often. It appears quite likely that I have two targets instead of one.'

Of course, the inherent problem would be actually properly reporting this. It was very unlikely either of them would mention their full name if he just walked up and asked so that left incapacitating them and locking the monkeys up. Easier said than done considering that the two were strong enough to actually give trouble together and he didn't need to attract anymore attention than necessary. So Shin went with the easy answer; let them tire each other out, and simply knock them both out and stick them in a cell before they wake up. The most work he had to do was to avoid the insane one's fire. Really, you should have some measure of control over your attacks, at this rate the whole Division would catch fire. That he definitely was not explaining.

'Looks like I'm going to be here awhile longer. Might as well think up a decent report for this mess, Division 2 is not paying to clean up this disaster area.'
