Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Would it have helped, I wonder?" She asked, right before drawing her head back and spewing a large quantity of water from her mouth. It formed a large wave and overpowered the Shuriken. "Bakusui Shōha!, Kokuryū Bōfūsetsu!" Yuki, standing atop the wave in question, rode it towards Hibiki at a high speed and as it came crashing down, she quickly converted the water into snow and made it a blizzard as a cover for her next move. "Shipuu Kyuu: Mokusei Keigetsu" She blew wind-infused Reiryoku onto the tips of her fingers; they took the shape of marble-sized, ball-shape whirlwinds that rotated much like a tornado. She pulled her hands back behind her and then flung them towards Hibiki. They were small, fast, and powerful enough to punch hole into metal.

[10 fingers, 10 balls. Hope you don't actually need this reminder.]

Yuki pulled her hand upwards, directing some of the fallen water from the wave and used it as a pseudo-shield and doused the kido with it the blast had moved some of the blizzard, but it was recreating itself at a good pace. After bring both her hands down to her side, a swirling ball of water appeared in her left hand while a larger version of one of the marble-whirlwinds formed in her right. "Hahonryū, Shipuu Kyuu: Goudou! She moved around, holding her arms at her sides and keeping the water and wind in her hands. She moved behind him with a wind-enhanced shunpo and slammed her hands together. The two balls combined and formed a beam of ice that shot from her hands [Kinda like a Kamehameha, sorta]. She wasn't too far behind him, and the beam was closing the gap quite quickly.

"You don't attack much... How odd." Yuki moved slightly out of the way and a little further from him. With water all around them, it was only a matter of time. The water level begun to rise and she put her hands together like she was miming the act of molding clay. A barrier outside had begun to form and water was being let in through a few ports. They were essentially standing within an invisible box that was quickly filling with water. She did not wait, however for it to rise completely, just up towards waist level before she dispersed it into the air like a thick mist. It wouldn't drown any one, but it would certainly make them wet. Most curious was the fact that the water was not touching her, it was stopping only a few centimeters from her skin as if held back by an invisible force. From her hands erupted two Byakurai and it collided with the barrier and fizzed away, but not before conducted much of it's power into the water molecules. The electricity quickly spread, jumping from molecule to molecule until the whole area was filled with positively and negatively charged water molecules. The result would be that wet people would be electrocuted with the intensity of regular lightning.

"Did you say something?" She titled her head and blinked repeatedly until he made his move which gave her a burn or two, but she shrugged it off for the most part. A small amount of Reiryoku flowed out of her body and wrapped itself around her, going to work at healing her own wounds. "Hari Fubuki" Around her, clusters of ice needles began to take shape, and she began to throw them, a few dozen at a time by flicking her wrist in the direction she desired. It also appeared she had some degree of control over which direction they went after they had already left her general area.

"Well, yes but it doesn't really matter. My Bankai isn't exactly that useful, nor does it give me much more power either. It's kinda lame, actually." Yuki shifted in place and tilted her head to the other side. "Why do you ask. Is it..." She then turned into water and dispersed, or rather, the water clone acting as her turned back to water and dispersed as she appeared behind him with her right pointer finger just inches from his back. ".. to distract me? Bakudo no rokujuuichi: Rikujōkōrō! Hadō no rokujuugo: Nenshouki!" Six thin but wide rods of light came crashing down towards Hibiki's waist, just before a whirling tornado of fire that consumes and destroys all inside erupted from her out stretched finger.

[Nenshouki is Burning Spirit in our kido guide, sissy translated it for me.]

[Dunno, ask her.]

With two swift movements of her hands, she parted the winds to open a path to Hibiki and then directed a swirling vortex of water at him. A few seconds later, she had formed a long spear made of ice that floated just above her right hand. She pulled it back and launched it right at Hibiki as the water clouded his vision of the ice spear. She then pulled both of her hand to her mouth, blew wind-infused Reiryoku onto the tips of her fingers and launched ten marble-sized, whirlwind-shaped balls at Hibiki as well. She made them a little bit faster this time. Within her, Yuki felt her zanpakuto's curse starting to take effect. It wouldn't be long now.

No sooner than Hibiki had released, Yuki did as well. It certainly wasn't necessary, but she was growing impatient. During the next few minutes or so, the wind and the shuriken and things moving in a large space around her, save herself and Hibiki, seemed to freeze as if suspended in time. She looked a little angry, and that anger grew quite quickly. As she formed a rather large ice spear in her right hand, and then a twin in her left. She drew her hands back and launched them at Hibiki with much force, but the second they left her hands, Yuki began to regress in age rapidly. Her features began to dwindle, her chest shrunk, she shrunk, her hair seemed to retract into her scalp, etc. Exactly 13 seconds after she threw the spears, the freezing of the moving objects within her space was broken, allowing things to freely move again. A moment or so later, past the time the ice spears would have hit their mark, a girl of ten years old stood staring at Hibiki, completely dwarfed in the shinigami robes; her tanto lay on the ground some feet away. The bandages around her arms and her shoulder-length gloves had long since fallen off. She had completely fallen out of her haori and her Shihakushō was sliding off her shoulders. It did slip, nearly baring her flat chest to him, but fortunately she was fast enough and managed to grab them before they fell. "Ah hell." She let out a shriek as she caught her robes again before they fell and then crept backwards away from Hibiki.
