xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx☉ ◉ ◎ ◌xxxѕσησкα кσησє  Another splash in the water signified that he had also gone underwater. Now it turned into a matter of who could maneuver in the water the best. Being in water meant that he would have sluggish movements; a bonus for her, since she didn't rely on speed. Still, Sonoka wasn't a swimmer, so her maneuverability would take a nosedive. Also, for one who relied on close combat, she would be severely limited to Ceros and Balas, while he had a whole arsenal of over 200 types of Kido at his whim. Not the best battlefield for her right now. Despite this, she dove deeper, making sure to keep her oxygen in check. Having already died once, it would be a shame if she died of drowning in her second life. If anything, her second life was going to go out with a bang, whether anyone liked it or not. When she was about a good thirty feet deep, she extended both arms to either side of her. From behind her, a Cero blasted out into the murky depths of the water, giving off propulsion and holding her position and not allowing her to sink any further than she had already gone. The other hand also blasted out a Cero, giving equal pressure on both sides so she could hold her position well. Sweeping the hand in front back and forth like some kind of humongous lightsaber, it cut through the water like butter, extending in multiple directions as she used it kind of like an anglerfish lure.I just can't standxxxI'll always look backxxxIf I fall downxxxCan I still go on?

"That is why they are never opened."♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪Let me play you a tune♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫About the atrocity of man♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫ "Hmm can't speak can you? Why not try..." Waka continued, trying to tempt her, having to push his boundaries some since visibility would be low beneath the gushing water. He continued to sink, waving a hand, a kido already used flying off, a hundred rods coming in from Sonoka's left. Waka was not planning on staying though. Between the relic and him was her and the massive cero rods he was trying so desperately to dodge, feeling one take part of his sleeve at one point, others only luckily getting close. He just had to keep himself hidden and it would be fine. He was still sinking, getting himself ready to move to the relic, down and over, bit by bit, trying not to move much as he angled his body. If she turned towards him, a well placed Tenran might just do the trick one more time. However, he had another thought, readying for her dodge, if she dodged. Then he might just have a bit of an advantage and try to force her hand. After all, if he moved too much, it would reveal him as well as deplete some of his own oxygen.  xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxx

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx☉ ◉ ◎ ◌xxxѕσησкα кσησєHar har, very funny... she scoffed in thought. The oncoming Kido hit her, propelling her to the right as she gave a smirk. Which just so happened to shove her straight into the geyser, propelling her upwards at a high speed as she stuck out her tongue playfully at him and waved goodbye. The geyser had more than enough force to shatter the Kido, also giving her a nice whack in the back that was sure to leave a nasty purplish bruise after this battle was done. Oh well, it did its duty. The updraft in propulsion shot her from the water, breaking the surface like a graceful dolphin. Her feet lightly touched upon the water's surface, but she didn't sink, due to the reiatsu she had condensed around the base of her feet. She swayed back and forth from the shifting of the water's surface, aiming a hand in Waka's general direction. Time to play a little dodgeball...and if she was lucky, he would drown with ease and the relic would be her's for the taking. "Cero Metralleta." she commanded, as hundreds of Ceros flew forth from her hand, creating a huge uprising of water around her as the Ceros submerged themselves. When the move was done, she ran off to the side, skimming the surface of the water and stopping short a good distance away, keeping her Pesquisa sharp in case he tried to pull any fast ones on her.I just can't standxxxI'll always look backxxxIf I fall downxxxCan I still go on?

Waka was running out of air and needed up now. The issue? Up was now covered in an ivory colored hell. "Good one girl." He muttered, dashing upwards, feeling himself get pelted by the cero barrage, unable to dodge them all without having to go the long way around. as he neared the top. bleeding and bruised. but surfacing, panting heavily, now visible, standing on the surface as he righted himself. "Very nice shot miss..." he stopped, waiting for her name, also trying to buy more strategy time. It would also prove a nice respite to rest up from that blast.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx☉ ◉ ◎ ◌xxxѕσησкα кσησє"Hmph." she said, giving a grinning smirk. It was quite obvious she was having fun. "Call me Diez." she said, lifting the red X-shaped mask clear off the left side of her face. Instead of another brilliantly crimson eye, it was replaced with her hollow hole. An old relic of her past life, from when she had had it gouged out. Directly below her hollow hole, on her left cheekbone, shone the tattoo of the number ten, stitched boldly on her face. Replacing it and brushing her hair back in place, she put a fist on her right hip. "Sorry, I don't really like giving my name to mice. Stop running and playing around, and maybe you'll deserve a real answer as to what my name is." she laughed. Shifting her position into a fighting stance, she completely and utterly ignored the blade that was strapped to the middle of her back. Her true strengths lied in her Hakuda, and to her, her Zanpakuto was nothing more than a toy until she released. Lunging forward in a spray of water and mist, it made quite a stage for performance amidst her flashy moves. She spun on her heel, launching a high kick towards his neck with the back of her heel. Without wasting a second, she lifted up and off the ground...err...water, with her other foot, giving her good leverage to slam her fist down on his head. Her attacks were more than enough to bruise or shatter bone.I just can't standxxxI'll always look backxxxIf I fall downxxxCan I still go on?

Waka stepped back, dropping through the surface of the water, dodging her attacks entirely. But that was short lived as he bolted up and away from her, thrusting his hand forward. "Bakudo #4, Hainawa!" The yellow tendril shot forth, seeking her exposed arms. Waka wasn't worried about what it hit, if it hit her though. And just for safety, he raised his other hand. ""Bakudo #73, Tozansho." As the rope continued forward, Waka was surrounded by a large blue pyramid, upside down. Like this, Waka was exposed with the rope and could pass a technique through it, but was otherwise temporarily defended. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx☉ ◉ ◎ ◌xxxѕσησкα кσησєWith another smirk, she outstretched her arm, making it that much easier for the Bakudo to wrap around her arm. Between the two, Sonoka was more than willing to bet that her physical strength far surpassed the strength of her opponent. It was quite simple really. If you had two people playing tug-of-war, you sure didn't want to be the weaker person on the other side of the rope. Just as the rope finished entangling her right arm, she gave a laugh as he surrounded himself in a blue pyramidic barrier. Oh, this was going to work to her advantage. In the blink of an eye, Sonoka twisted the rope in her hand for an unbreakable grip, yanking it backwards sharply. She made sure to support her own weight too, just in case he let go. If he let go in time, he wouldn't have any problems, other than the fact she was planning on hurling his own Kido back in his face. If he didn't let go, she'd faceplant him into his own barrier, then drag him around like a rag doll. All his Kido was really pissing her off, but then again, she was having a hell of a time backfiring it against him at every given opportunity. If he was going to continue to bore her with this crap, she'd wipe the floor with him and throw him down the waterfall for good measure.I just can't standxxxI'll always look backxxxIf I fall downxxxCan I still go on?

"That is why they are never opened."♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪Let me play you a tune♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫About the atrocity of man♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫"Hm?" Waka felt the tug before he comprehended it, face planting right into the barrier. The second time around though, he broke the rope and dispelled the barrier. "You are... quite troublesome you know." He muttered, rubbing his head, which was obtaining a bit of a migraine. "But it's obvious to me you desire closer ranged combat. Then allow me to indulge you." With the standard samurai flick of the finger, his katana clicked, ringing as it was unsheathed into the sun of the day. When it came to zanjutsu and hakuda, Waka wasn't sure which he was better at, so he would go for both, removing his headdress and tossing it at Sonaka. While it wouldn't cause any damage at all, it would be annoying for a bit, perhaps just long enough for him to slip to the side so he could deliver a sharp kick to her shoulder with the hardwood geta. If that didn't work, Waka planned to use her as a wall and kick off, disappearing with Kyoko once more.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx☉ ◉ ◎ ◌xxxѕσησкα кσησєSonoka gave a sharp laugh, not believing that he had actually fallen for that. "I'm not troublesome, you're just stupid." she said, pointing out his lack of tactical skills and bad combination of moves. Though Sonoka wasn't a tactician herself, long years of instinct and battle prowess shone through. She may seem like the perfect strategist on the battlefield, but at the end of the day, it was nothing more than pure reflexive actions. Once outside of combat, her tactical skills were all dragged down into the dirt. "Besides, if i'm as troublesome as you make me out to be, then you should just hit the road and leave the relic. Relax, it's not like i'm going to take over the world with it or anything." she said sarcastically. As the headdress flew at her like a bird (well, it did have 'wings'), she tilted her head to the side as it overshot her shoulder. The same shoulder that he delivered a kick too. Her reeled backwards a bit, being pushed maybe a few feet back as her backwards motion launched up another spray of water around her boots. "Ouch." she said halfheartedly. "You're really one for unorthodox measures, aren't you?" she sighed, brushing a few strands of wet hair out of her face. "Well then, I don't usually cheat in battle, but two can play at that game." she shrugged, swiping both palms across her belt, in a similar fashion to how one would dust off their shirt. For a second, her hands seemed empty, as if she had just done an unconscious natural movement. However, a flick of her wrist splayed out a colorful fan of razors in each hand. In a swift move, Sonoka kicked at the water in front of her, throwing up a curtain of water to obscure her from view. While hidden, another flick of her wrist send all ten of them spiraling towards him like boomerangs, launching out from behind the water curtain and cutting across the surface of the water to ricochet them into a slightly curving flight pattern. Unbeknownst to his eyesight, Sonoka would appear behind him, aiming a bonecrushing palm thrust towards the center of his back. Depending on how high his defenses were, the damage would range from nothing more than a bruise, to shattered bone.I just can't standxxxI'll always look backxxxIf I fall downxxxCan I still go on?

Waka countered, only to be blindsided by water and shortly afterwards, a sharp array of.... were these paper cutters? That was when he felt the crack to the back, sending him flying forward, crashing across the surface. "Ow...." He muttered to himself, standing back up, his hands emitting the light green light of a healing kido as he corrected any major injuries he could on the field. "You miss, are very strong. I honestly dislike that. The physical strength that is, though I'm sure it suits you just well, no offense meant of course." He bowed lightly, wanting this over a little now. "Well then, according to the way science works, to match your strength, I just have to move fast..." With another bow, he kicked off his geta towards Sonoka, pulling out his flute and muttering an apology, wielding the flute in his left and the katana in the right. "Then shall we get a bit more serious?"xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

As the battle continued, the relic began humming with spiritual pressure. A high density sphere formed around it within the water, preventing anything and anyone to come close to it. An opalescent image began forming on the surface of the sphere, showing the two combatant's battle.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx☉ ◉ ◎ ◌xxxѕσησкα кσησє"Hmph." she smirked, catching her papercutters back in the perfect array of a fan in both hands. A flick of her wrist activated the retractable blades, snapping the razors back into their sheath of plastic. She shoved them all back into her belt. Wouldn't do to lose one in her precious collection of papercutters. At his comment about her strength, she laced her fingers behind her head, giving a slight chuckle. "Why thank you. Whether you dislike it or not, i'll still pound your face into the dirt. And screw science." she snorted, obviously not giving a care as he indirectly pointed out her lack of speed. The only reason why her speed was so mediocre was because she never trained it. She really didn't need to. Unless her opponent could move over a fifty feet span with the use of a single Shunpo, she wouldn't have a problem dominating the battle. "Serious shmerious, if you say so." she yawned, whipping out two papercutters as she stuck the geta with them and submerged them with a plop in the water. Replacing the two in her belt, she reached behind her as she drew out her blade, sheath and all, from her belt. It was a rather odd blade, completely rectangular in shape with no tsuba at all. Spinning it around her hand like it was some kind of toy baton, she swung it behind her back and gave a mock bow. "If I must." she replied, giving a slight chuckle as she straightened. Due to his previous statement, it obviously meant he was going to rely on speed now. And she was going to show him exactly why that wasn't going to work. She shifted position, skirting the water like she was on ice skates. Deftly drawing her blade, she quickly flipped it into a reverse grip, which was the fighting style she was most comfortable using. She normally didn't use her unreleased Zanpakuto, since she saw it as nothing more than an irritating stick for stabbing, but she was going to make an exception this time. Launching forward, she swung around on his left, making a wide arc around him as she swung a cut at his left arm.I just can't standxxxI'll always look backxxxIf I fall downxxxCan I still go on?

"That is why they are never opened."♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪Let me play you a tune♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫About the atrocity of man♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫ Bringing his flute upwards, Waka redirected the blow, feeling the cut hit onto his left shoulder. It stung, but nothing a little healing kido couldn't fix. With a quick feint, he thrust the flute forward, stopping and catching it in the middle halfway through, twirling it in his hand. "Hado #58, Tenran." Although she was hating the kido, at this close range a conical attack would be his best option. Additionally, it would probably force her backwards, giving him the advantage of moving next or at least placing some of his own favors on the board. Although he knew the importance of it, and could even feel the pulses of reiatsu, Waka's mind was more on the fighting, even if he thought he couldn't win.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx☉ ◉ ◎ ◌xxxѕσησкα кσησє"Utterly drab..." she sighed, being pushed back from the Kido as she was sent catapulting into the air. Flipping backwards, she lighted down on the water's surface and went under, purposely sinking out of sight. Alright then, let's try this... she thought, holding out her hands in front of her as she kicked at the water with her feet to shift her position. She shot a Cero from each finger, ten in total, and swung the beams around like puppeteer strings. She was effectively creating a hell of a minefield right under his feet. Short range or long range, he was going to be screwed either way. It was either survive a crapload of close quarters combat, or get shish kabobed by endless Ceros, which happened to be one of her minimal long ranged techniques. The Ceros broke the water's surface, flailing around like lasers and destroying whatever they happened to smash into. And as if that wasn't enough, Sonoka shook her head to knock off her mask, biting down on her tongue as a trail of blood snaked through the water. Gran Rey Cero... she thought, smirking as an ivory-gray Cero charged in front of her hollow hole, blasting out of the water like a huge water spout from a whale. The Gran Rey Cero was more for the relic, smashing into the sphere with a mass of destructive power. Though with the range of her Gran Rey Cero, it wouldn't be unheard of if she had hit him 'accidentally' with it.I just can't standxxxI'll always look backxxxIf I fall downxxxCan I still go on?

Waka brought up the shield just in time to save himself from the barrage of cero heading his way. However, the Gran Rey Cero was a totally different story, plowing through the shield and sending him flying across the surface and then down beneath the water. "Quite strong, quite strong." He murmured through the water, correcting himself as he sank. Then he disappeared again, utilizing Kyoko to his advantage beneath the water, moving in from the right in an attempt to strike her from the side with the katana. While his cloaking wasn't perfect this time around, he was hoping it would be enough to at least make it too late to dodge.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
