Uulyn Tiramai
Squad One -- Fourth Seat

Uulyn unsheathed his blade as Mitsuko did hers, feeling another breeze go by as he did so. He analyzed her movements in the first attack. The blade came around to him horizontally, from the right. He took a calculated step towards her, closing the distance she would need for her hidden kick and simultaneously blocking her slash. His blade, held in an upside-down way as to be able to continue with an attack of his own, held firmly against hers. The only reason he had known of her attack was the simplicity of her slash, she made it just a bit too obvious where she was attacking from. If she hadn't intended on a kick anyway, Uulyn was never one to take chances. Stepping back would have allowed her more distance to prepare an attack. Jumping over seemed like a good idea, but it left him open while in the air and recovering from the landing.

He gave a strong push with his blade in something of an upward slash, disconnecting the swords. As she was recovering from the deflection, he twirled to her side with the blade going for the back of her waist. Uulyn felt as swift and light as the wind around him, and his movements showed his feelings. They were calculated and graceful, flowing smoothly together. If Mitsuko didn't react to the slash, he'd simply stop a moment before the blade would make contact, just as a spar was to happen.

"Don't worry, Castro. I'll hide my own reiatsu by compressing it into my swords, they won't know what I am, but then again, even for a shinigami to find me its going to take them being within naught but a few feet of me. I am as the wolf, a silent hunter and I shall not have much of a problem getting up to the gates and vanquishing this guardian." Michael said as his swords turned black due to the compressed reiatsu, then he returned them to the sheath. "I shall not do more than scout the outer city, but I might just speak with some of the locals. If I stay close to them then the shinigami will have a harder time identifying me. Although if they did find me, they would probably try to recruit me first, thinking that I am nothing more than a new soul to this place."

With that he donned a white cloak and his sudden disappearance was accompanied by what sounded like static electricity. His infiltration would go unnoticed, for the very air of this place still smelled of battle and of blood. By the strong smell of the battle it had been recent, not more than perhaps three or four days, but it would be enough to mask his presence for a couple of days while he gathered intelligence. With that he swiftly slipped into the outer town, moving with his hood up and listening to the local chatter, any kind of information would be key to this silent siege of Soul Society.

((Is that laying low enough for ya vamp?))

Twiced blocked and not a movement. Mitsuko thought, disappointed at herself. In the split second he tossed her sword aside, she knew he was going to go for a lower part of her body. Instead of blocking with another slash, Mitsuko straightened and dropped her blade allowing her guard to take the attack.

Unlike Uulyn, Mitsuko wasn't going to push his zanpakuto away. Pulling back, Uulyn's connected blade slid forward and behind Mitsuko. Simultaneously taking a bow stance, her leg slid towards him; catching one of his feet. Either he would've carried through and tripped over her or Uulyn's would've stopped prematurely on this last attack and she would have time to react.

Uulyn Tiramai
Squad One -- Fourth Seat

Uulyn hadn't expected her course of action and tripped over her leg, ending his fluid movements and landing to the ground, at her mercy by this point. She had outsmarted him, plain and simple. He hadn't had much practice with his sealed zanpakuto though, so that could be a part of his loss. He was used to fighting with the lance all the time now. "Hehe, great job madame!" He said, pushing himself up. "I haven't fought with the plain blade in quite some time! Good to know I still have just a bit of skill with it after all this time," Uulyn added. He sheathed his blade and worked his shoulder around, having landed on it from the fall. "I think that's enough. Short, but it served its purpose. Had to get rid of that excess energy that builds up while my weapon repairs itself. Worked my muscles a good bit too. Maybe not enough, but I'll look for Kenichi and get a few exercises in..."

He stretched his arms out. "Worked out all the kinks anyway from having laid in bed for so long!" He said cheerily.
'Now!?' King asked, apparently annoyed. 'Just calm down! We'll get to it eventually! Just let things run their course,' He thought.

Shinji Shinimori
Squad 11, Seat 5

Shinji's eyes went wide when he heard Kenichi say bankai. He couldn't move and was in complte shock. He remained in his place for a few seconds while Kenichi got farther away. Finally, he snapped out of it and took a few large strides catching back up to his friend. He remained silent the rest of the trip.

Shinji grinned. "Good. Squad eleven is always looking for a worthy opponent." He pushed the doors open and went inside to see Mitsuko and Uulyn sparring together. He nodded slightly. "Looks like he's all better. And our journey has found it's end." He whispered slightly to Kenichi as to not interrupt the fight going on in front of him. He quickly moved around the side and leaned against the wall, watching carefully.

"Thank you very much. You're surprisingly powerful once your momentum starts." Mitsuko nodded quickly, she was pleased. Mitsuko knew that if she had challenged him head on, she would've easily lost. Walking up to him, she hugged him tenderly. No matter what the result, a reward was worth it for both of them.

Even if it was short... she had pulled something from the session. Her feints still needed work but, at the same token, Uulyn needed to learn how to gauge himself before flowing all the way through. "Heh, next time we should stretch. We're lucky to have not pulled any muscles." not minding if it was late or not, Mitsuko pulled out her arms and did a few. "So, where to now?"

Just then she noticed the three shinigami at the door, "Oh! Hello." Mitsuko greeted them all politely. "I guess I know where were going then..." she murmured to herself.

Uulyn Tiramai
Squad One -- Fourth Seat

He smiled from the hug. "You did good, and thanks. You certainly are a quick thinker in battle. I know I wouldn't have recovered in time from that deflection..." He said, a bit of truth ringing to it. He felt slow a lot of the time, though sometimes, like in their spar, he felt faster than ever. Tiramai heard her concerns over pulling muscles. "Hehe, yeah, sorry for not thinking of it beforehand..."

Uulyn heard a noise, and looked over to see Kenichi and Shinji coming out to the grounds. He waved to them. "Hey you two! What are you both here for?" He asked, hoping it wasn't another mission of some kind. He hated when that happened; just recovering from a previous mission and being sent on another. "We're done sparring, so we can talk now," He added, walking over to them. He wouldn't act any differently around Shinji, though his thoughts would be taken by what the man was feeling about him at those moments. He gave a friendly nod to the large man in greetings, and one to the ninja-like Kenichi.

'This is stupid...' King muttered, now sounding depressed and even more disappointed.
'I said soon enough!'
'Not soon enough for me!'
'Well that's just too bad for you then!'
'Don't talk to me like that, peasant!'
'I'll talk however I please!'
'Like hell you will! You'd best to treat me with respect if you want that Bankai!'
'Oh, just shut it for now. The meeting is coming, just relax for now and get ready.'
'Son of a... Alright, fine. You better get it going today though, or there'll be hell to pay when we meet face-to-face...'
'Whatever, King,' He thought, and that ended their mini-argument. Uulyn was starting to stand up against the spirit more, and it invigorated him to think they were equals now... Or, they would be soon. That was kind of what the meeting was all about. They were to determine his power and see if he was finally ready... but it was more than that. It was a mutual way of coming to terms with each other as equals, maybe even friends. He shook his head and looked to the two men, waiting for their response.

"Douce Twice" *Squad 12, seat 3*

Kenichi had just rounded the corner when he heard a familiar voice speak his name. "...Looks like I just missed your lost to the Beautiful Mitsuko...but from what I saw she uses the...Bukken Ryu...swords style..." Kenichi looked Mitsuko's way as he finished, "...That style is very fluid...I would have lost to it just the same..." Shinji was just behind Kenichi still in deep thought and staring hard at Uulyn. Kenichi looked over to Uulyn as he sheathed his sword, "I...heard you speak my name...is there something...you wish to speak to me about...Uulyn..." Before Uuyn could answer a blood curdling voice came from behind Shinji. "...So it seems..I've made it in time...for this...little...humph...ron-de-vue...humm...Kenichi-dono...?" Kenichi knew now that Douce had show he looked back over his shoulder. Douce's appearance was different, he looked like(Image to the right) but he had a very sinister smile as he came out from the darkness. Kenichi then looked at Uulyn then spoke,

"Douce Twice"
*Squad 12, seat 3*

Kenichi soaked in the atmosphere, he could sense that Shinji was anxious to hear of Kenichi's discovery. Kenichi took a deep breath, he looked to each face, then back to Uulyn. "...What must be said here...I can not speak of...in the open...is there anyway we can...have this meeting in your quarters...Uulyn...if I may ask...?" Before Uulyn could answer Douce spoke in a gritty voice with a discrete tone, "...Is it that secretive...you can't allow anyone in soul society to know about it...Kenichi-dono...?" Kenichi turned to meet Douce's gaze and with a sincere expression and tone answered, "...Unfortunately...this information...is of the utmost...secrecy...the Gotei 13...and not even Central 46...know of what I...speak..." Douce's glare widened, he was now more interested in this secret, he wondered what it was that was hidden from even the Central 46.

Uulyn Tiramai
Squad One -- Fourth Seat

Uulyn nodded at Kenichi. "Yes, it was Bukken Ryu now that I think about it...." He said, having analyzed her movement from the first attack. "And it wasn't the style that got me. A multitude of reasons, really. She's a good swordfighter is one, I don't usually fight with a sealed zanpakuto is two, and I've been in bed for three days is three..." He shrugged after this statement.

The extra voice didn't phase him, neither did the man's strange appearance. He focused back on Kenichi. "Yes, we can go to my quarters," He said, and in a minute they were there, since his room is the last one before the door to the training grounds. ((Skipped us there for quickness!)) "So, tell me this secret... Something useful to us, or something devastating for the Soul Society as always?" He asked, since many of the missions he was sent on were usually to stop threats to the living world or the Seireitei.

As the group of shinigami headed towards Uulyn's quarters Douce pulled up along side of Uulyn looking him over. Uulyn didn't pay much attention to him. As They entered the rather cozy room Douce spoke something that was on his mind, "...Uulyn...Uulyn Tiramai..am I correct...?" Before Uulyn could answer Douce spoke again, "...It is good to see that my Konjoumome worked for you on the battlefield...but next time I promise you that you will finish the fight...hummm..." Kenichi knew that Douce didn't have bad blood toward Uulyn but he had a bad way of expressing it. He wasn't a very social character.

After the two exchange words, Kenichi decided it best to answer the question on everyones mind. Kenichi headed toward the open window and closed it as he turn to the group in front of him. These were the higher ranked shinigami he trusted, an also the ones he believe would benefit Soul Society as Captains. He took a breath, "...Where to start...ah...please hold your questions until I finish..." he pressed his eyes closed for a while then began.

"...After a long time in thought...I decided that you all are my best choices...my favorites...the only one...I trust with this secret..." Kenichi surveyed the room with a serious look. "...When we came back from our last mission...I found myself at a block in my power..." Kenichi shifted his weight with his honest, then continued, "...I admitted to myself that it would have to come down to joining my power with my zanpakuto...as all of you have..." Kenichi's gray eyes settle on Mitsuko "...Including you...Mitsuko..." then he continued on. "...So I made a covenant with my zanpakuto...to resonate with it...in that cause she brought to my attention information that was lost to me during my studies..." Kenichi was pacing in a small area that was somewhat cluttered. "...So I returned to my studies...and found that the discovery was new and undiscovered by anyone else..." Kenichi plopped down on the ground with a grunt, "...All of you know of the Substitute Shinigami from the Real World Ichigo Kurosaki...from the academy..." he crossed his legs as the other nodded their agreement. "...He was the last to use this...a room designed by Urahara himself...designed to help develop a shinigami's... Shikai and Bankai..." He looked around at the four faces that surrounded him, all were eager to hear him finish "...I found a Tenshintai... here in the Seiretei..." Kenichi stood a little more at ease now that he had passed hard part. Now he just had to answer any of the questions they may have had. He was ready.

Mitsuko sat comfortably on the bed, her arms crossed. "Tenshintai?" Mitsuko had heard of that powerful artifact. She stared at Kenichi with interest. Despite being successful for few, it had broken several soul reapers many years ago. "Dangerous... Who alive knows how to use it?" she said darkly.

Mildly ashamed she also added, "Plus, the Tenshintai can't be activated unless one had attained Shikai... "You know my name, you just have to remember, doll." Mitsuko looked at her Zanpakuto quizzically. He growled, a low rumble that shook Mitsuko's being. I get it, you don't repeat yourself.

Douce was also an interesting figure. Some sort of anthropomorphic dog, really rare... but she had seen several paintings of them in her lifetime. Not wanting to be rude, she didn't call attention to it.

Amaya//Ritsuku

-- Squad 1 --

Just as she was about to respond to Shinji, he left with someone she couldn't quite recognize. He bowed to her quickly, and she returned the gesture.

Watching him leave, she slowly turned around and continued walking down the alley, heading towards the barracks. 'Perhaps I could do some training now... it's not as if I have anything better to do, right...?' she thought to herself. Amaya then decided to find an empty building, or preferably, a field, where she could train alone and without being watched. It was always better that way.

Giving her head a final rub, she started to scope out the area, in search of a deserted section of the city. From where she was perched, she could see Shinji and the man he was walking with, as well as a few members from her squad. Just then, she thought about the last time she stood on a roof. Quickly, she hopped down from the building, telling herself that she did NOT want to fall on her head again. At least not today.

[[gah, it took me so long to reply, I'm really sorry. We've officially crossed the border though, so we're in the states now {yay} . Syracuse, to be exact. Ugh, it's going to be hard to post via laptop, so I probably won't be posting at all tomorrow. Expect me on Sunday, though!]]
