Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Keh..will you wake up! Something's wrong, and I can tell, and if you don't get up I'm going to go off and find it by myself, and if it's bad, and I die, I'm going to come back and haunt you in your dreams! You'll never have a pleasant one while my spirit is floating around!"

Still, Megumi frowns. It isn't Shinrei's attitude that bothers him, it's that niggling feeling he gets, and while he's trying, he can't pinpoint where it is at all, even concentrating his hardest; sensing things is a little advanced for him at this point.

What the hell?! Geez..he was having a girly dream that turned into a crossdresser dream. He'd be offended, being sort of a crossdresser himself, but he didn't really do it for the reason most transvestites did. Oh well. That and let's face it, Megumi looked like a girl anyways. He shakes his head..

"It's fine. Once you're awake, I need you to focus on something for me. I felt something, but it's way beyond my range of scanning, and I just got a bad feeling about it. I can't go exploring fast like you can, and I figured maybe you'd be able to get a bead on it..I haven't done any training in advanced sensing at all."

"A..travesty hollow? I haven't gotten that far in the handbook yet..so they like to be beautiful too? Waiiiiiii~<3 I can understand that so well! But if you say so. A powerful hollow..to think hollows have even reached here. I didn't think they could come here without soul burial. Have things gotten so out of hand they can even come here now? To our lands?"

He nods..he hasn't ever fought a hollow, but..still. He takes off running in the direction he pointed..if he keeps going straight, he might find them..and he hopes he's not too late..

((As I was told to RP on as if I did not know my Shikai, I suppose I should be doing some training.))

Kyuzo swung his sword in a downward strike, stopping at waist level before raising it back up. He had been repeating this process for several hours, to increase his feeling for the tanto-sized Zanpakutou. With every downward chop, he was able to more accurately halt the weapon in an exact spot, rather than the sluggish shakes that had been there at the start. A steadier hand . . . it strengthens my ability to use the blade to it's full extent in combat, but it is far from release. For that, I must gain sight of my Zanpakutou's soul and learn it's true name.

Sword practice has been long and uneventful, but had proven to help his level of control with Zanjutsu. Swinging a sword at the air was a simple task, and would not help him as much as a combat situation, like the one he had endured during the tournament against the shinigami known as Ayato. There was only one thing that was going to get him a decent battle now . . . he needed a Hollow.
Rukongai was a mostly uncharted area, thus was one of the very few places that a Hollow would sneak into in order to search for a high reiatsu meal. As Kyuzo concentrated on raising his own spiritual level, he prepared himself to battle with any Hollow that might come in pursuit, but was unprepared for what would eventually happen. Space itself ripped open, as several Hollow made their way out; in his intention to summon one enemy forth, he had gathered three of them to battle.
The trio laughed wickedly, knowing they outnumbered their Death God enemy, who wasn't even one hundred percent after the hours of Zanjutsu training under his belt. It was too late for reservations, and Hakutei knew it; he was left with little choice but he draw his blade from it's sheath, and square off with the three monsters face-to-face.

Haro took a deep breath as he had just walked through the streets for a while, taking in the scenery of the city, the bustling streets and the people. But it was nothing compared to the forestry he had arrived in now. It was breathtaking and he loved every moment of it. He was just happy to be there.

He had finished his zenpakutou class and now he had some time to do some solo training before he went back for his next class. He looked to the leaves as he stood there, right on the edge of the city and forest, not far from either but not in either of them either.


He took in another deep breath and he seemed to absorb the smells and the scenery into his pours and his nostrils as he breathed in throug his nose with a bright smile. His eyes closed as he did this and then they slowly reopened as he exhaled and he smiled brightly as he nodded to himself.

He took a breif glance around to see which way he should go before he decided to head off streight into the bushes, he didn't really care where it took him, he just wanted to get deep enough and do some meditations and some training. He could easily fasion himself a dummy out of wood and such and use it to do some training.


He would worry about making the dummy later, for now he was only going to worry about getting deep enough into the forest to be able to be rather remote and out of the way of any sort of interaction with anyone. It wasn't to hard to do this either, the trees formed something like a green blanket, blocking out the forest more and more as he went. A Tattered blanket that got better in the patchwork as it went towards the middle.

It was getting darker anddarker within the forest and he grinned as he entered an area that was void of anything but a shortish grass and a couple saplings. He nodded to himself, he could make his hands and arms out easily, but it was a pretty shadey area. Since it was a small bit of a clearing a bit of sunlight was able to seep through and illuminate the area slightly.


Now that he was here he breathed in deeply, content with his location. He looked around and he yanked the zenpakutou off his back, looking around the area at the darkness of the trees further into the forest. He could see a few trees past the edge of the little clearing but that was all. He walked around the rim of the area one and then the second time he went to a precice tree, it was large, but not too large, a perfect tree to fasion his dummy from.

It would seem that the top half of the tree had been severed from the trunk, making this tree thick, yet short at the same time. He then with a strong swing of the zenpakutou, sliced through the bottom of the trunk and sent the rest of the tree toppeling into the clearing. There was only about 15 feet of wood, large but not TOO large. It was perfect for this assignment of his.


Haro grinned as he looked to the tree and he breathed in deeply, closing his eyes he stood over the log, one foot on each side and he grinned as he brought the scythe over his head and he brought it down with a thunderous blow. The tip of the scythe entered the end of the log and it caused acrack to form up to just a little bit past the mid-point of this tree. He then turned around and he did the same thing to the other side of the tree, raising up the scythe and then bringing it down upon the tree.

The crack appeared again, meeting the other one and competeing the two. He then shovced the scythe's blade in the crack and he pryed it so that the two halves fell apart with little effort. He took a deep breath and he grinned as he looked over the fallen tree, victory was his and this log had been severed in two. Now he could fasion it the way he wanted to with his zenpakutou. He would make his dummy in due time.


He looked to the first half tha the would be using to fasion the wooden dummy. This was an important part of the dummy, for it would be the dummy's support. He didn't want the dummy simply falling over while he was doing this, because if it did then he would just end up having to hit it once and then pick it up, hit it again, and pick it up. That would be far too inefficiant.

Haro smiled as he took the zenpakutou and he etched a line about 3/14 up the log. He then struck the weapon into the log right above the line, and went up the last quarter of the log, striking into the log. He then walked back to the line and he struck it upon the line. Causing about a quarter of the log's width to fall off where he had stricken it. He did the exact same thing to the other side, causing the log's top quarter to be a little bit higher then the bottom one was.


Haro sighed as he looked at it. He now needed a wayto put it stabally into the ground. That would not be hard. He grinned as he went to the bottom end of the log and he quickly took to slices into it, causing it to become a sharp tip on the end. He wrapped his arms around the log and he pulled it upright and he slammed it into the soft earth. The tip easily dug itself into the ground.

He then continued to push in sharp thrusts downwards, causing the log to slowly make it's way further into the ground. He did this until it was four feet down, 11 feet left above the ground and 4 feet of that 11 feet was skinnyer then the bottom 7. It would work out just fine. Now that the log was in the ground, he had to get to work on shaping this makeshift dummy of his. He stepped over the other half of the log, purposely made more bulky then the previous half.


He had to do somthing like he had done with the other log with this one. He made an etch in the wood once again, but this time, instead of leaving a long skinny patch, he sliced directly through the log where the etch was and then all the way up the log, causing the top 1/4 of the log to be missing, the missing shape would look like what would fill in an L.

But then he did what hedid to the top half, to the bottom half, but about 6 inches lower then the last cut, leaving a six in thick peice of wood protruding from the back of the now skinnyer half of log. He then carefully took a smaller blade that he had just packed with him for this purpose and he cut out the exact width of the skinny section of the previous half of log he had used to make a support for the dummy. He was going to slip this half over the other half so it could not fall over.


He would do the connection of the two half logs a little later however, for he wanted to at least make the cunk of wood look a little bit like a humanoid being he could use to visualize attacking an actual living being. He smirked as he looked at the half log and nodded to himself slowly. "Well, this should turn out just fine when I get it done." He said with a grin.

He then carefully cut out a triangle section at the bottom of the log to make it look like two spread out legs. He then cut a semi-circle out on either side like )( to make it look like the legs were coming up and then after the body branching into arms that reahed up. Then as a final touch he cut out the shape of a circle at the top for the dummy's head. "Perfect." He muttered to himself.


Haro smiled as he stood there, admirig his job at making his own dummy and he nodded, inspecting it over. It was very roughly made, and it had taken him a good hour or so for the whole procedure, but it was worth it. He grinnedas he picked up the dummy half and he slid the fasioned loop over the skinny part of the log that was there and it thumped down over and stopped when the loop met the thicker part of the log.

He stepped back and he grinned from ear to ear as he took his zenpakutou in hand and his eyes locked onto the dummy. "I do beleive it's already time for you to die my pinochio looking friend." He said with a laugh as he drew back and he spun on his right foot, the spin giving his scythe momentum as it came around and went to sink into the wood, thoguh he would find that the wood had a mind of it's own, and if he wasn't careful that his scythe wouldn't sink into it like he wanted it to and it would only ricoche off the surface.


(role1 + 4 must = 12 or more to successfully hit it, must hit it 20 times before it is destroyed)
