Location: Inner World
The cold, crisp night air cut through her skin as Shizuka slipped off her Shihakushō, tossing it carelessly to the side. The heavy black robe flopped onto the ground, sending dried cherry blossom petals and leaves hustling along the ground. Shizuka stood silently for a moment in her fighting attire, closing her eyes, reveling in the utter peace and quiet of the beautiful cherry tree orchard. She smiled to herself as the cold air swept through again, sending goosebumps scurrying up her smooth, silky skin. It was time to get started.
Mikazuki whispered softly as she was drawn from the sheath. The slender silver blade glinted in the moonlight.
“Hey. Long time no see,” Shizuka said softly. Before the last words had left her mouth, as if in response, the blade began to glow a brilliant white. Two long, thin ribbons fluttered out from the hilt.
A slight rustling sound behind her. Shizuka turned, zanpakutou in hand, as a beautiful white doe stepped gracefully out from behind the big cherry tree. Her brown eyes were warm and gentle.
“Well, you look like you missed me,” the doe said haughtily, pawing the ground daintily with one perfect hoof. Shizuka grinned.
“I didn’t come here to chat, Mikazuki,” she replied. “I came to—”
The doe whinnied impatiently.
“Of course you came here to train, stupid. Battle stance. Get ready.”
With lightening speed, the doe disappeared.
CLANGG!
Shizuka brought her blade up just in time to parry an attack from the faintly glowing ghost Mikazuki sword that had appeared out of nowhere. Mikazuki the doe appeared again, this time a little bit to Shizuka’s left.
“Too slow. Your reflexes haven’t gotten much better,” the deer commented, then disappeared again. This time, Shizuka ducked her head slightly and swung her body to the side as another ghost sword whistled through the air, missing her body by centimeters. Shizuka jumped up and landed lightly on the branch of a nearby tree.
“Impressive. You’ve learnt the baby steps of shunpo,” Mikazuki’s voice said.
Suddenly, Shizuka gasped and threw herself down as three blades whistled toward her, thudding dully into the tree trunk. She lost her balance, wobbled, and fell to the ground in a mushroom cloud of dust and leaves.
Standing up, Shizuka wiped her forehead and assumed battle stance, alert and waiting. The doe appeared directly in front of her, eyes crinkled in amusement. Shizuka embarrassingly plucked a few stray leaves from her sleeve.
“Now that we’re all warmed up, let’s get started for real," the doe suggested.
Shizuka shifted her zanpakutou to her right hand.
“Hai. Dance in the shattered moonlight, Mikazuki!”
