Welcome to Gaia! ::

[Arighty then...]

Kuuri layed there in his spot, his body recuperating... His cuts that once seemed to ooze blood now stopped... it seemed that his reisut came out so intense, and dense form his attack.. it began to ooze and pierce his body uncontrollably... It seemed, since he hand't taken any damage, that he'd be up within a short matter of time... All he needed was a while to rest, and let his stamina recuperate...

Kuuri felt the presence of something in his face.. his nose twitched and his eyes opened... He faced the blade for a split second, before flipping and maneuvering his body along the ground... He now stood crouched, just three feet to Thantozs' right side... "Ready to face my fist...?" He smirked halfway, performing a back-flip with ease, and not using his hands... He flipped twice, going horizontal completely and seemingly defying gravity....

His athleticism, no doubt, was advanced and over-developed already... He took on his 'L' stance, but no particular hand-formation as of yet.... He nodded at Thanatoz, signaling it was time to go at it..

Kuuri continued his spin.... The look on his face wasn't visible, and he was suspected, to not see the numerous crosses... He suddenly dropped his head forward, throwing both arms out on each side... the palms went open as he spun... He came hurdling towards the first cross, switching his overall 'body' position.. but only slightly..

His entire body suddenly tilted as his open palm caught the edge of the reistu... A surge of the pain ran through Kuuri's body as suddenly he began to glow red... His reistu coated his body, so damage was like a minor 'sting' for the first seconds before the thin cover would break... He suddenly dropped the barrier though!!

His reistu became completely 'gone' for a second and he held no reistu presence in the arm holding the attack... "PRESSURE POINT~!!" He suddenly surged with reitsu, letting it travel through his arm and radiate at an extremely powerful level.... He was able to actually 'crack' and break the cross.... He stopped his spin by flipping forward.... He stood boldly as now nine crosses headed for him... His eyes closed and he breathed in deeply... "Time to introduce a thing called 'combos'.... HYAH~!!" He flew forth with a lunge, his knee out... his entire body seemed to be performing the 'pressure point' as he now flung out a fist towards a cross, splitting it in two.... He pivoted wildly twice in that same stance, the horizontal foot from his 'L' stance raising and allowing him to spin even faster.... He spun both his arms out, letting two more crosses ram into him and meet there defeat... they were utterly sliced and evaporated once being met with the force of his spin... the reistu seemed to just deflect the attacks away, going left and right of the whirlwind know as..

Kuuri.

He spun over and over, pivoting to get rid of five more slashes.. He began to get tired and stopped abruptly.... He flipped forward with a cannon-ball form.... He flipped to meet one more, crashing through it while still in the ball-form... He landed on diagonally and with a down-ward slashing kick.... He rammed the oncoming attack, halting it... He now faced the last one, holding out his palms, one behind the other... He held his hand down and screamed... "PRESSURE POINT~!!" He let out the scream and burst forth an invisible 'force' of spiritual pressure... The attack met the final cross and simply exploded it, making rocks and debris fall into the sky, and another dust cloud.... He huffed, dropping to one knee with a smile.... He quickly flipped up acrobatically, noticing Thanatos was coming just behind his own attack... He flew down, 'force' surrounding his body...

He now came down diagonally once more with a kick, heading towards Thanatoz torso with the strike.... "If my foot meets his blade, chances are the friction will send us both flying... if I beat the blade, I'll probably just send him back... win-win situation I guess..."

[Don't mess with the next Bruce Lee Of the Soul Society O:<]

Kuuri grimaced, sighing at the sight of all that just happened.. he was now supposed to dodge, deflect, and counter EVERY single slicing object coming for him... a mess-up would mean great pain, and possibly death... He nodded his head in disapproval, starting to feel the 'lessen' in stamina from his last feat..... He dropped to crouch.. going down on one knee... He looked up at the sky, as if at something.... He began to growl slightly, before allowing it grow to a roar.... He suddenly went 'stop-motion' speed and stood up, still 'inside' of his own afterimage... He was within his 'L' stance, and his hands finally took on a form permanently..actually..

Two!

His left hand held the 'Fang' style... The one he used to crush and destroy things effortlessly, and as if it were nothing.... The one that burst through nearly anything near him..

His right hand held the 'Talon' style... The one used for swift destructive hits, enough to explode a pressure point with pure speed and force to the point the object targeted was weak enough for a fly to kill it..

He sighed deeply once more as needles now flew towards him in every direction... His reistu signature skipped a beat, pulsing at a slow rate before beginning to speed up... a dense 'orb' 360 degrees around Kuuri formed... He stood there pumping in more reistu at an alarming rate... "Rush.." He muttered the words, letting the reistu within the 'bubble' to suddenly 'enter' his bod,y giving him almost five times as much of his blurring speed... He felt relieved at this hyper-active like burst as he could finish preparing at an invisible speed-rate....

"Pressure Point.." He allowed his reistu fluctuation to stop... He was in a full 'body-covering pressure point as now the bubble enclosed, from lack of reistu structure.... The bubble enclosed on him, meeting the 'pressure' amongst his body.... He now held a crimson-red outline, covering his body as he performed his next feats... "I'm gonna crush your needles with everything I possibly can.... If I can still move once its over, your certainly goin' down.." He now held a serious face as needles met him...

He performed a low spin, dropping to the ground with both hands firmly placed.... He spun upwards like a backwards cork-screw, rising and blurring to the point his red body-shadowing after-images held a hard time keeping up.... His speed and reistu emitting form his body together made the oncoming needles, within several inches of his body, evaporate or be deflected.... He flew up with his cork-screw, now spinning wildly and deflecting a few needles more....

He flipped forward, breaking the screw and driving down to the ground, meeting his own red after-images and distorting them as if passing through blood-red dry-ice.... He distorted them and gave the image he was going 'inside' of himself now..... He met the ground again, only to see more hoards of needles coming his way...

Kuuri leapt forth to his right with a spinning round-house kick, moving his leg as he spun to get all directions... He deflected more needles, and destroyed a few who were un-lucky enough to close in on his body.... He crouched as his kick swirled down into the ground... He royated while flying, both arms out and slicing forth like machine-parts at high-speed... He continued to chop through attacks, some being deflected, and others utterly destroyed.... He repeated these movements, and changed up a bit, throwing his elbow out to meet all needles in every direction... Once they met a kinetic force [A Limb..] they were abruptly hit with the effects of the oncoming limb.... His left arm or hand destroyed them... His right simply deflected and rendered them useless....

He went on, doing this all manually and without a sign of stamina loss... The fact that he used his 'rush' as a stamina source, along with his natural source made him a never-ending machine of deadly precision and destruction...

Over time he burst through them all, slowing down to a point at a single time... He'd made mistakes throughout the entire time, but only slightly... Once a needle hit his body barrier, and pressure point.. there was a possibility it would simply shatter, or get thin.... He'd, secretly and unnoticeably, been hit in the shoulder blade, right leg, and back numerous times.... He was, no doubt, meant to collapse the second this fight was over... his abilities allowed damage to come later, and not now... This meant he could stand and fight...

He now looked on at thanatos, his arms out and stiff, both in different forms... He huffed heavily, his tongue going out as a 'playful' gesture to mock him... He brought it in, flicking his hair back from over his face... He was sweating horribly, and his shirt was, once again, hung down as a sash.... He dropped his shoulders noticing the needles were gone at last... He could have dropped just there, but he wouldn't show one sign of giving up... "Get that reistu blade ready... I'm comin for you next..." He screamed out with a roar, charging Thanatos with a large roar once again... the after-images didn't fade whatsoever, as the red bodies followed him with no sign of stopping... He dropped just two inches before thanatoz, going for a leg-sweep... The force of his strike was enough to break the leg before the foot even met...

At the same time, his three afterimages performed different moves, signaling 'seriously' how fast he was moving, able to send out three different, equally force, attacks at once in the same direction...

The visible Kuuri performed the leg sweep...

One after-image performed a straight on kick, ready to knock the wind from him..

Another after-image shot out a 'fang' pronged hand, ready to break the man's lower-torso..

Another flew upwards with an upper-cut, its body tucked, obviously ready for a follow-up attack.. It was headed for his face and ready to just decimate his head in a flurry of moves... They all showed a different sign of 'attacking style' and were equal in force.... As they went, a large voice could be heard, yelling the 'name' of the move... "PRONGED TALON FLURRY~!!!"

[Lulz.. this turned into me trying to 'prove' something..XDD]

Thanatos breathed out slowly. "It's been awhile since I've felt alot of pain. I'd say almost a month now. I miss it a little. Back in my early days of being so weak a captain could flick me away like a fly. And now I'm slowly starting to become just like that. It's a little scary." Thanatos flipped forwards above the real Kuuri's sweap. "This is the fun part. The Pain." Thanatos slashed downwards with the blade. It extended and covered the area Kuuri was in. Thanatos entered a bit of a rage and pumped in about half of his reiatsu. The ground beneath Kuuri cracked and got singed as the reiatsu expanded and created an explosion. Thanatos smiled when the first blow hit him. Thanatos bent forwards as the first kicked him, apparently winded. Then Thanatos flew backwards as his lowerbody rocketed back as he was hit by the fang. Thanatos shot directly towards the final after image who sent a flurry of uppercuts at Thanatos' face. Thanatos flew upwards as the afterimages faded, and slowly flipped in the air. His reiatsu blade was crack'ling with energy when Thanatos landed. He looked up at Kuuri, and on the three places he was hit there was a light burn and small bruise. "The second before they hit me, I rocketed my reiatsu into those three spots, to deflect the hits. Your strong for your level of power-" Thanatos sentence trailed off as he spat out a quick bit of blood. "-But," He continued, "It's just not enough yet. You need to focus your energy closer into a single point. That way you can use less reiatsu to hit just as hard." Thanatos slashed the blade in front of him then he wound back his fist. "Heres an example." Thanatos punched through the trail of reiatsu it left, and focused his reiatsu into the exact spot his hand hit the glow. A hole appeared in the trail and the reiatsu that was once there shot towards Kuuri, like a kidou would. "Now I don't need to tell you this is going to end soon. You used your energy too willy-nilly." Thanatos almost appeared directly infront of Kuuri. He didn't go as fast as a flash step, so he was still visibly moving.

Thanatos slashed horizontally and the wave that shot out was huge. He used all of the energy that was creating the blade, and the ground directly infront of him was a deep crater. The wave must have been 10 feet vertically and 40 feet horizontally. Thanatos whistled as he watched the destruction it caused, and how far it went. "Oh that tree just exploded." Thanatos threw the hilt behind him. "Well I guess I need to grab a new sword if we are to continue. I can't go doing 50% of my reiatsu swings as willy-nilly as you punch, now can I Kuuri?" Thanatos smiled. Not a smile out of sneer, but out of the hope that he was getting through to him. Thanatos noticed Juni. "Oh I meant Revlis. He's 10th's VC." Thanatos ssaid dully.

Thanatos looked at the smoke and whistled. "Nice Nice Nice. Oh... To squad Four! Or not since they're dead..." Thanatos walked over and placed his hand on Kuuri's back. Reiatsu flowed out of Thanatos' hand and into Kuuri's body, not healing his wounds, but giving him more Rei, which would let him heal faster. Thanatos sat down and decided to wait and see if anyone seeking training showed up.

((Course Kuuri =3))

Kuuri slowly shook, raising to sit with his legs crossed.... He looked up to see thanatos, and form behind him, gave a smile.... He didn't do this often for a lot of reasons but this one was real.... He stealthily performed a twist on the ground, corkscrewing upwards.. while upside down!

He landed almost perfectly in a crouch, leaning to his right slightly as his eyes lay closed... He arose slowly, and huffed... "Thanks Thanatos..... I see why your allowed a rank now.... Your not too bad a person either.." He smiled, noticing his other new 'friend' was gone.. He shrugged this off, and waved to Thanatos, a blank expression meaning his smile was never shown.... He nodded with respect and begna to sprint away, leaving a small 'poof' of smoke on the ground..

[See ya' Thanatos... I'm goin' look for another fight..x3]

Suddenly, Kuuri was seen sprinting back, walking past Thanatos, and picking up a bag.... There were four swords within the ragged bag, and a leather sword-sheath meant to fit on the chest was tied with it... One of the swords glew slightly to the reistu sensitive eye.... This was his zanpaktou, but Kuuri never used it..... The other swords also seemed unnatural, and one actually held strange hollow traces... The other two just looked 'cool' and were extremely sturdy and formidable weapons, thread and scarf hung with them all... Kuuri sighed deeply, lifting the bag and dissapearing once more..

[Almost forgot my zanpaktou, Hone, Tsume, and the stolen hollow-blade...x3]
