Welcome to Gaia! ::

"How do I completely rid myself of him? He just keeps coming back, it's only natural for a normal person to feel hatred and lust!" he shouted at the old man. "You're not NORMAL!" the old man shouted at Tsai with a thunderous roar. "If you were you wouldn't have come to Soul Society holding onto the reiatsu amount that you have. You of all people should know that your reiatsu amount is beyond that of an average academy student, because of that, the existence of hatred and lust inside of you cannot remain, all I have done is given hatred and lust a body in this world, to defeat him only you know how to. To find him, only you know where he is," the old man ended his sentence and pointed towards his heart. "Only you know..."

He patted Tsai on the shoulder. "I know that this is a hard challenge but I believe that if I give you my power right now without you getting rid of the hatred and lust in your body, you will only follow the path of destruction," the old man then disappeared. Tsai was all alone again, on another wild goose chase.

The spark in her eyes giving away her move even before she makes it, Rikatsu has plenty of time to decide how to respond. Not wanting to make her feel worse than she already does, he puts more effort than is really necessary into his defense. As she approaches, he turns in a quarter circle forward, pivoting on his right foot. He reaches out with his left hand to brush aside her punch, his left foot raising a cloud of dust as it scrapes through the dirt in front of Hikari. After pushing her fist out of his way, Rikatsu pulls back his left arm and leg simultaneously, attempting to tangle his leg with hers, and pushing at her punching shoulder with his left hand.

(( gonk She can't hit the broad side of a barn...))

Her eyes widen as he easily avoids her latest strike. "He's just playing with me? He thinks I'm weak!" What he hears is a growl as she spins past his latest attack and half-leaps at him with an open left palm. Her intentions obviously to bend her fingers at the last moment and push them into his gut.

Tsai soon reached the base of one side of Aozora Mountain, there was a path that lead the way up. A friend of Tsai's, Mai Takahashi once lead him up the slopes, but that part of his memory was a bit blurry. If he could only remember how to get up. He then remembered. The mountain had a winding path, since it was summer now the ice probably melted a bit.

Tsai began jogging up the mountain path and eventually the path started getting steeper and steeper, eventually turning into a climb. Another Sokyoku Hill climb except this time there wasn't going to be a grappling hook. Tsai sighed and began moving sideways so that he could get to the opposite side of the mountain and then make way to Rukongai. But sounds of hollows nearby were loud, Tsai would have to be careful if he wanted to avoid confrontation.

From the height of where Tsai stood, he could see Rukongai and the village where hatred was released once more. "Two-faced...that hollow is still out there, probably taking more souls with each passing day...but right now he's not important.." Tsai shook his head and continued to move sideways. Tsai didn't want to do anything that involved lust or hate. He feared that that may give strength to Lust/Hatred.

[35]

He continued his journey over Aozora Mountains. The climb was getting dangerous as he continued to move sideways to the other side of the mountain, the jagged rocks below weren't very pleasant to look at from the height he was standing at.

Soon, he finished his journey across landing on the other side of Aozora Mountain's manmade path. It was a bit snowy still from the height where Tsai stood but now he would have to continue downhill. Hollows probably waited down below. "Zampakuto-san, you really have to make my life a living hell...?" he asked staring at the nightsky. It was at least bright with stars. The moon was also out, which provided some light.

Tsai began to go down, the hollow cries were getting louder and louder as he descended down the path. His hand continued to hold onto his zampakuto even though the hollows were probably below.

Tsai soon reached the base of the other side of the Aozora Mountains and infront of him was a field of somewhat big hollows. Gillian class. Tsai's best bet was to run for his life. One would probably give him alot of trouble, there was a good dozen just standing there staring at Tsai.

[36]

The shinigami broke into a sprint, dodging the hollows as they swung their long arms and bit forward with their huge mouths. This was the ultimate obstacle course. The hollows were not persuing Tsai though. They faded as soon as Tsai had dodged them. Old man zampakuto-san was definitely training Tsai by doing this. Although he was not physically being trained, he was mentally being trained by doing this in the fake world of Soul Society. By practising the movements in this world, Tsai could easily apply them when he was awake.

Tsai began clearing the many yards of hollows and eventually he reached the edge of Rukongai forest. He stopped to rest and regain his breath but he wasn't the only thing was breathing in the forest. "Zampakuto-sama is really making this hard...isn't he?" he asked himself as he walked in. But inside...well you guess.

There were several small hollows, probably a bit weaker than the gillian class hollows back on the fields. These Tsai could handle. Should he confront them or save energy and run past them into Rukongai?

[37]

Upon entering Rukongai, Tsai began searching, he had no idea where to look but he began searching. Looking in houses, trees, stores, mansions anywhere they had a hole, a door or even a window, he looked. There was no sign of anything. There was nothing near the edge of Rukongai. He sat down and began to think in the dark. The last time Lust/Hatred and Tsai met, he was being followed all the way from Sereitei. Tsai then had an idea. Maybe that was where Lust/Hatred respawned after being killed.

For the first two battles, Lust/Hatred returned to fight in less than several minutes. Somewhere near Sokyoku Hill was where it spawned. Tsai began jogging to the area, ducking near corners to make sure that the close was clear. There could be hollows roaming the streets of Soul Society since the Old man was testing him while he was on his little goose chase.

Tsai began thinking of ways to defeat Lust/Hatred. The thing wasn't exactly the easiest thing to take down, he would need alot more than sheer skill and force to bring it down. But this time he would have his reiatsu to use against it. "I'm ready to take him on.." he would repeat this phrase inside of his head until he reached the gates of Sereitei.
