Welcome to Gaia! ::

Heaving a sigh, Tenchi ignored the huge droplets of blood that were dripping down like red water balloons- splashing open against his shoulders and head, and acknowledged Arthion's request. Nodding slightly, he began drawing the stray feathers back with his thoughts. One by one, the sharp black plumes began to move on their own, pulling themselves quickly from the Dragon's tender foot and returned to Tenchi's wings. The dripping feathers gave off the impression that his wings were seriously wounded. The sight of the dragon wincing somewhat pleased the angel.

Once every feather was secured back in place, Tenchi stretched a bit.
"There... you want me to kiss it better next?"
he asked coldly. (This was Tenchi's way of teasing someone.)

"I must have forgot it back in my office." Nagi laughed before catching sight of the two zanpaku-to. His eyes widening at the sight of all the blood, he tried his best not to look away as they approached. He should have known that with Tenchi's love for bloodshed, there was going to be quite a mess.

"Oh... look who's back..." Tenchi muttered impassively as his black eyes fell upon the two shinigami. He already knew that Nagi wasn't going to like all the blood. This made him grin suddenly.

"If you want it," Hibiki said, as he pivoted on his feet and dashed to Fefnir's left, and jumped up towards him. Immediately with his right hand holding his katana he slashed low at around his opponent's chest, and simultaneously elbow jabbed at Fefnir's face, forcing his weight and the direction he was falling into it.

((sorry for the late post, my internet died -_-))

((Same. ^^))

Tenchi, who was unsuspecting of anything that the dragon may have been plotting, glanced over to Yuki with his usual aloof, cold stare and simply uttered a "No."

"Holy cow, Tenchi!" Nagi gasped astonishingly as his gaze fell upon the dragon's bloody foot as he halted next to his zanpaku-to. Now that he was it up close, every little detail of every little cut was seen. It made him cringe a bit. No wonder why Tenchi's white form was now covered head to toe in the red liquid that was now starting to flake. The smell coming off him didn't help matters much.

"What? It was cold hard war." the angel grinned toward his owner. "You can't expect there to be no casualties. "

"But did you have to go that far?" Nagi sighed as he lightly shook his head. He wanted to ask who won but refrained since he figured since both spirits were still standing it was an even match. Though Arthion's foot and mouth didn't look so good, Tenchi was still breathing heavy and bruised. It even looked like one of his wings were kinked a bit. There was a pretty good chance that Tenchi would feel it if he were to try and fly off or something. This would teach the unruly spirit not to get so cocky.

Nagi took advantage of this situation and grinned in a similar way that Tenchi was. "I admit that I'm surprised you're still standing..."

((Well, we're even. I took a ton of time to respond to you. sweatdrop ))

Fefnir smiled as he took a step back and leaned slightly backward. "You focussed on one side too heavily," he said as the blade, then Hibiki passed in front of him, "Your next attack, had that hit, would have been to strike at my right arm. Still, it gives me hope. You have a lot of potential, indeed," Fefnir sheathed his sword, and said, "I think this will be enough. Are you a member of a squad yet, Hibiki?"

"Well, we'd love to have you here, in Squad 13," Fefnir answered, "Hibiki, I think you'd make a fine addition to this squad, and with a little training, could make a fantastic member of any squad you wished. What do you say?"

"Alright!" Fefnir said with a smile, "Follow me back to my office and we'll talk about your membership. You know, you've got a lot of talent. I mean, you couldn't hit me, but that's simply because I'm a Vice-Captain. I've got a lot of practice under my belt. They would be pretty effective against an opponent near your level," Fefnir walked over to Hibiki and patted him on the back, then he guided the shinigami off the training area and to his office since Hibiki'd never been there before and most likely wouldn't find it on his own.

((I like your new little picture. It's cute.))

Tenchi cast the dragon a glare as it suddenly disappeared back into its sealed form inside the blade.
"Quit your prattling." the angel sighed to the beast while appearing in front of Nagi. His black eyes stared into the blue ones of his partner- the unoriginal sole. "Well... get on with it."

"Right." Nagi nodded while reaching out with his right hand and placed it on Tenchi's chest. A faint light began to emit from the angel as he suddenly began to fade away. Letting out a gasp, Nagi endured the strange feeling intake of energy through his arm. Once he could feel that Tenchi had returned to his body, Nagi found himself facing nothing but a wooden doll that within seconds, fell backward and landed with a "thud." Lowering his right arm, he cocked it back a bit and rolled his shoulder until the pain in his shoulder went away. As he did this, the voice in the back of his mind began to speak again.

"Well... I gave you your alone time."
it said. "Did you do it?"

With that question asked, Nagi's smile faded and his blue eyes wandered to the ground.
No... I couldn't... I guess I just lost my nerve.

"Tch. Should have known... Oh well. You lost your chance there. Better luck next time."

Attempting to ignore the voice once more, Nagi made a glance for his right hand, noticing the red liquid on the tips of his fingers and palm.
"Dang... I'm sort of glad I didn't watch this fight." he smiled while attempting to wipe the blood off on his hakuma. "It had to be brutal."
