Raijin smiled as he jumped back, he tilted his head to either direction allowing a melody of cracks to emanate outwards. "Good. I'm glad, Go ahead try it out" He said his words laced with excitement, he wanted to see this power. When would the twists stop? Every step he took with her lead them down a winding path with an end he never saw coming it was like riding your first roller coaster again and again the adrenaline just didn't stop pumping.
"I suppose I should be prepared just in case the attack happens to be massive. After all for Jes Sama to take interest in her she must be special" He thought. He had already committed the words she spoke to memory so that the message could be relayed to Jes when Sara was returned. "Alright, ready when you are" He said his reiatsu fluxing as his muscles coiled wondering just what kind of attack she would unleash

Sara flexed her hand thoughtfully. The startling blue of her skin moved smoothly and the array of tattoos pulsed as she clenched her fist. She had instinctively completed the tattoo's pattern with the stylus--and that had unleashed something. She could feel the energy pounding in her hand not unlike her first, more violent release of this white-blue energy. Somehow, though, the blue stain of her skin contained the energy. It didn't burn her as before.
She took up her sword in her newly-marked hand and she could almost feel the connection between herself and her sword grow. Suddenly, she felt confident with the weighted steel in her hand. On a whim, she wielded the stylus with her free hand, continuing the patterns until swirls and spirals of silver traced her entire arm. On her shoulder, she finished the new pattern with another Latin word: memoria. She hardly felt the stinging burn as she carved designs into her skin.
The minute the design was complete, greater power flooded into her sword arm. She knew, without thinking, that she could wield this sword with proficiency. Somehow the tattoos were awakening powers, memories, even.
"Here I come," She swung her sword in a deft figure eight, suddenly confident in her abilities. Launching herself at Raijin, she aimed a crescent strike at the left side of his body. Before the move was wholly executed, she could see strategies, strike patterns, blocks, actions and reactions-- she knew the memories weren't hers, and that idea frightened her, but the energy itself was entirely too intoxicating to ignore.

He watched his eyes glowing allowing him to see the reiatsu swirl around her as he continued the tattoos. "Interesting, it would seem her tattoos are the source of her power, if she completes the tattoo all over her body I'm assuming her power and seemingly new confidence/ skill will complete which could result in her being significantly formidable" He thought watching her attack. His left wrist tilted allowing him to grasp his glaive with two hands. "Come at me as if you would kill me. If you don't treat me like your true opponent you will end up dying when the real thing occurs" He said hoping she would see the method to his madness
He watched seeing her slash come he smiled noticing that her skill had increased, he lifted both arms his gliave now pointing at the ground. As her attack connect with the bottom part of the blade his arms bounced back a bit allowing the force to be absorbed. Then in one move he pushed down and did a reverse poke with the but of his glaive. The most effective part of the attack was keeping her blade down so she couldn't parry his counter. Also the fact that the but of his blade was a 4 inch point so it could potentially pierce the heart. Though Raijin would of course stop the attack if she couldn't counter, his moves were merely tests not actually attacks.

"Watch you don't end up dying yourself," Sara said, all confidence and recklessness. Deftly, she disengaged her blade from his, flexing her wrist and causing the tip of her blade to drop. This maneuver brought the edge of her blade to bare vertically and she swung it across her body to deflect Raijin's glaive. The staff, with its lethal point, slid harmlessly to one side.
Counting on the longer weapon's slightly slower recovery, Sara pulled her blade back as soon as the danger passed and aimed a diagonal slice across Raijin's body from hip to opposite shoulder. The tattoos on her sword arm pulsed as her muscles flexed, adding considerable power as well as speed to the retaliation.

((Since you didn't say which hip or with which hand you slashed I'm going to assume it was the right))
"Interesting. Her attack could have been a bit better but I suppose it will suffice. At least it's better than what she was doing" He thought watching the tip of his glaive poked the air doing no harm, as he slash came Raijin's left hand rose up and hit the upper part of his glaive. Allowing his right wrist the rotate with the force he smiled as it blocked the slash. His left hand then grasped the upper end smiling up at her. "Good luck" He said a bit of swagger in his voice trying to see if he could upset her.
He smiled his next eight moves already being planned out. Time to enact the first step. Raijin's muscles contracted as he swept his blade in a circle keeping contact with Sara's hoping that it would cause her sword to go flying. He then proceeded with a poke of the tipe of his blade aiming to stab her in the heart.

((I'm sorry ><; it's been so long since I had a fight...))
"You, too," Sara grinned, but her eyes were on Raijin's glaive, following its movement as he blocked. Fighting sword on sword was fairly intuitive, but a glaive was new territory. Then again-- perhaps her glowing arm didn't think so. Instinctively, the muscles loosened and picked up the pattern of Raijin's circular parry. Matching its speed, she was able to keep her sword under control.
As Raijin disengaged to attack, Sara swept her own blade down across her body, parrying Raijin's blade as it shot towards her. She then riposted, lunging and thrusting the tip of her blade at his solar plexus.

(No problem. I was just stating so you know))
Raijin smiled spinning just barely dodging the blade. The dodge was so close that her blade pierced through his uniform cutting out a large chunk of the back of his outfit. His spin stopped just in front of her while his right hand shot out grabbing her right wrist. "You have improved" He said looking at her sighing. "I believe we should go see Jes sama since your training is complete. I wouldn't really wanna keep her waiting" He said releasing his grasp before sheathing his glaive on his back.
"So I'm not quite sure how you would release your shikai. Perhaps taking a deep breath and relaxing may cause it to release" He said letting out a yawn before rubbing the back of his neck. He did want to keep fighting but his desire to please Jes over trumped his own desire to have fun so he figured it best to return her as soon as possible.

Sara tensed and the glowing tattoos on her arm flashed a warning as Raijin grabbed her wrist. She blinked, emerging from what felt like a half-dream. Fighting had seemed so natural. She'd felt completely divorced from reality-- her arm, or rather, the tattoos she'd carved into her skin, felt as though they had been controlling her movements. She had a slight suspicion that the memoria aspect of her tattoo came with a little more than she'd bargained for.
In a series of jerky motions, Sara relaxed her stance and her grip on her swords. The glows from the tattoos refused to dim, though. There seemed to be only one setting for the power she released-- and that was wild and unchecked. It struggled to force its way through the tattoos and its beguiling call was hard to ignore. It wanted to keep fighting. It wanted to test itself against Raijin, to draw his blood, even. Sara worked to quell this bloodlust with varying degrees of success. The muscles of her arm alternately tensed and relaxed as the power waxed full and rushed back to gather itself for another onslaught on her restraint.
Knowing she'd have trouble keeping control for much longer, Sara sheathed her blade. The motion was smooth and strangely familiar. Disturbed, she took a deep breath as Raijin had suggested. She visualized the blue skin peeling away and settling back into her blade, smoothly running like water as it re-collected in the sword.
What followed was anything but smooth. It started at the base of the back of her neck, an intense burn, as though white-hot knives were being dragged across her skin. Sara gasped aloud, pain driving her to her knees. The brilliant blue hue seeped from her skin, shrinking inward towards the center of her body and down her arms and wrists. there, it ran over her fingertips and into the blade she grasped in both hands. Her jaw ached, teeth clenched against any sound.
Then it was over and she knelt over the sheathed blade, panting at the effort of withholding a scream. The silver butterflies that decorated the end of the black lacquered sheath winked in the light. Using the sheathed blade as a prop, she pushed herself to her feet. The deep blue second skin had masked her burns and other various injuries, but now they were once more apparent. Much of her skin had been burned by her own reiatsu and the wounds inflicted by Ice's hollows in her shoulder, hand, side, and leg were cauterized and wept a clear fluid.
"Let's go see your Jes-sama," Sara said roughly.

Raijin nodded, "Very well. Simply follow me" He said turning and walking out heading towards his masters hall. "This is really quite amazing. Her skill has increased dramatically, faster than anyone I've ever seen.... ever. Just think, if she had a legitimate teacher she could probably have achieved bankai by now and mastered every kidou. It really makes you appreciate that Jes was able to attain her before the Shinigami were" He thought slowly walking to Jes's territory, he saw no purpose in rushing. She was obviously tired from training and over exerting his master's prize possession was never something smart.
((Sorry it's small but I'm literally about to fall asleep and wanted to get one in so you and jes could want to rp if you wanted))
