((Now I don't care if you use hadou, just not in the dojo, and not in a fight amongst 7th squaders unless I say it's ok. Sorry, I should have specified, but don't delete it(your post).))
Toushiro had no time to react. He didn't necessarily try to block it, it was just a reflex. He threw his hands out, and without even getting the chance to make the words out, his gauntlets catched the lightning(like a baseball)and when his mind caught up to what was going on, he closed his hands, extinguishing the lightning.(see shikai stage 2 in my profile) He then looked at Layla and moved his finger to the side back and forth. "You should read signs." toushiro said as he pointed to the wall behind her. On a big, bright red poster read "Please no demonic arts in the dojo. Thanks."

((Unless you say so? I don't think so. My official word is that Hadou (Destructive arts) are not to be used within the dojo, but Bakudou (Binding arts) are allowed because they do not cause actual damage.)) Squad 7 Captain

((I was totally thinking of trying you up with crawling ropes, but the hadou won my vote. I apologize..))
Layla had been shocked by the maneuver that Toushiro used. It was apperant why he was 4th seat. She had been startled by his attack, snd had gotten nervous which caused her to accidentally use the kidou by reflex.
"You know what, you're right.. Its been kind of a long day, and I am a bit tired. Besides, I do have somewhere I kinda need to be right now. What do you say we continue this later sometime maybe? I might even see you back at the Squad Housing unit?" she said, wiping a little sweat off her brow.
Now Layla hoped it dosen't seem like someone like she is turning down the 4th Seated officer. But then again, it might also look like she was backing down.. Either way, she was looking forward to something to drink, and maybe some food.

Layla inclines her head, nodding at Toushiro. She threw in a little wink, and left the main entrance.

Sho walks up to the dojo and stops short of going in. He takes off his straw sandals and sets them by side. He then opens the door and takes two steps into the dojo and bows. Recovering from the bow he turns and closes the door behind himself.
Walking to the middle of the matted area, Sho kneels down and takes a position to start his meditation session. Taking a deep breath Sho closes his eyes and lets himself drift off to a far away place where only he knows. Doing this puts Sho into a deep meditation state ......

Sho get's up after a nice session and looks around. Still no one in the dojo but him. He walks over to the door and bows before exiting. Putting on his straw sandals Sho looks around and says, "Where is everyone? This place is dead ....." Sho walks down the stairs and heads back over to the Squad headquarters building to search for the Vice Captain.

[Ok so I'm bored today.. so I'm gonna do like, 5 long post of Kuuri training.. learning to use his abilities without reistu so that he can soon learn to destroy things with swift, yet 'Piercing' moves...
By the end of this training I plan to have him be able to use his unique fighting style mastered.... Have better control over his movement, and increase his dodging and parrying abilities, and also increase his perception of openings and weaknesses in others attacks....]
Soon, within minutes of leaving the training grounds.. Kuuri reached the dojo.. Empty as usual... He knew this would be the perfect place to train alone and to himself...
Kuuri now walked into the dojo.. He was already bare-foot, so he had no need to throw anything off this time... He kept his sword on his back.. seeing as though he didn't care about the 'no swords in the dojo' rule... These things were priceless to him, and he seriously wouldn't risk anything by taking them off... They were attached to him like his hair to his scalp... Only removed when unsheathed and ready to fight...
He soon came to the center of the dojo.. looking around... He saw a closet where dummies were sure to be.. He decided he'd use all of of'em since he'd be here so long. Kuuri walked over to the closet and opened it.. going in, and coming out dragging about five 'dummy post'... He set them up in a large circle.. a few feet between each... He went back into the closet and got out more of'em, now enlarging the circle.. then completing it...
He took a second to look around at the dummies he'd spread out.. then nodded, showing that this was what he wanted...Perfect.
Kuuri took his stance... a weird one though....
His arms were out in front of him, and his hands were in the shape of talons.. like that of hawks... His right leg was in a position so that his right foot went out horizontally from his foot, and allowed his stance to become a sort of crouch... An 'L' stance...
His arms were out, but not stiff... they were loose and limp.. moving ever so often, but very slightly... This had no name.. seeing as though it was unique to Kuuri... 'The limp behavior allows me to shift my arms wildy in any direction.. while the talon shape allows precision in doing so..." He let out a low growl before jumping at a dummy directly in front of him... His talon went out and passed its head, then the combo truly began... He allowed his elbow to stiffen and c**k to the side, knocking the dummies head to left.. He followed that with a clockwise spin, his entire arm being used to knock the dummies head back into its position it held before... His 'L' stance came back for a split second as he did a reversed roundhouse kick... Allowing the foot to fly outwards in close range to the dummies torso.. seeing as though how short he was....
He noticed that his attack combo to the head of the dummy was thwarted just because of his size... and got angry..?! He let out a growl and repeated the flurry....
Missed hit...
Cocked elbow strike...
Reverse arm sling...
Now for the roundhouse... He wasn't tall enough, but this wasn't a problem.. he had an idea.... Kuuri suddenly smirked as he crouched into the 'L' stance, then launched himself up.. straightening his legs and positioning his body like a torpedo.. but going upwards!!! He proceeded to fly now, remembering he had that ability for some strange reason.... He was just above dummies head, but not for long... He came down on its head hard with a spinning 'Axe Kick', going in a complete vertical spinning circle, thus blowing the hard wood head off the dummy...
He followed this by spinning, and flipping down back into the 'L' stance.. and doing another reversed roundhouse kick... letting his foot hit the torso of what was left of the dummies body... This kick left an opening for an endless onslaught of left leg strikes... letting his 'small and quick' trait shine as bright as possible.... about thirty seconds worth of continuous kicking in the same three strike pattern of different left-torso points...
The dummy was left decimated by brute force....
It's head was knocked off... Its left torso was completely split to the point that wood had cracked in about seven places.... Some of those cracks dropping bits of wood on the floor, leaving splinters where the dummy was...
Kuuri bowed once to the 'thing' he'd just massacred... Then turned to another....
['L' Stance]

.... This time around Kuuri was gonna try using his style in numerous places at once on one persons body.. giving off an endless amount of varying combos for him to use... This involved attacking not only the head and torso.. but everything else.. like the legs, and arms.. all the things that allowed his opponents to block...
Kuuri now stood in the center of the dummies again... Bowing once more to the dummy he'd just destroyed... He closed his eyes and took a deep breath before starting to sprint backwards.. using his flying ability to hover a few inches off the ground.. sending him flying swiftly towards another dummy directly behind himself.... He soon came to the dummy, opening his eyes just before he reached it.... His flying ability stopped and his feet hit the ground...
He purposely tripping himself with the heel of his feet, letting his body, fall backwards towards the ground.. He caught himself, doing a handstand with both hands.... he brought his feet in, and then swiftly pointed them back out once he was on the angle he'd counted on having.. He then proceeded to launch himself from the handstand, and kick the dummy with both feet, in lower torso area.... He used its body as a launching pad to do a stealth roll three feet in front of the dummy... He let his stance become crouched as he stayed low to the ground now... Crouched down, Kuuri performed a leg sweep, but a blunt one, heading for the back of the Dummies left leg knee-cap area.... This would usually buckle an opponent down to the point that they were on one knee... but the dummy didn't do so... This was good for Kuuri.. seeing as though he was so small and speed based, his strength might not be enough to buckle someones leg.. even in such a weak unprotected area....
Kuuri left his leg on the area, pushing with great force until the dummies leg actually cracked!! He now had a loose legged dummy... If this were a human, then they would have a bruised torso.. and as the wind was knocked out of them form his first strike... the opening for the buckling leg sweep would come through.. leaving his opponent unable to block whatever was next.... This meant he had to finish his opponent off with a swift move.. or a flurry of swift moves...
He finally brought his leg from the... spinning his leg on the ground to whee he'd done a complete '180 Degree' turn.....
He was now facing opposite the dummy again... crouched down.... He closed his eyes again and whispered something to himself.. "Left arm.. Right leg.. Got it..." He smirked before his eyes opened.. now that glowing crimson red... the dummy gave off no aura, but since it didn't, it simply showed an outlining of the human body's pressure points....
'Swift Finishing Move To The Arm and Leg'
Kuuri's speed now shined through.. his body going form one position to another in less then a second.... He'd gotten the dummy in a throwing position without even being seen moving into it!! It was like a stop-motion thing.. one second he was there.. next he wasn't!! He took the throwing position, his back now in the crease between the dummies limp arm, shoulder, and upper left torso, over its left breast area.... The position put strain on the arm, and allowed the dummies entire body to lift and follow the arm... Kuuri lifted the dummy with his own strength.. using a lot of it to lift the heavy wooden structure...
His throw turned into a slam as the arm made a cracking noise where the elbow would be... it turned into a vertical slam.. the dummy now being completely slammed on its entire body.... Now laying on its back... the dummy stayed there limp-like... its arm torn greatly.... one leg was bruised to a point that wood shavings and splinters were falling off of it.. the other was completed cracked from the blunt leg sweep... Kuuri now stood over the dummy from its head... He was in the center of the room yet again, but this time the dummy was layed out just where he would usually stand....
Kuuri bowed to the dummy and blinked.. letting his eyes go back to normal... he now stood over one dummy, decimated on the floor before him, staring out at another dummy.. still standing, but massacred...
[What he did with his eyes opened vision to where the woods weak and rotted spots were deep inside of it... just like humans have there pressure points.. Doing this to the dummy would actually be harder then doing o to a human.. Seeing as though wood is sturdier and has more layers then human skin...]

Kuuri wasn't even slightly tired now... He hadn't even used 5% of his reistu... This was him using only his skill as a fighter.. not as a spiritual being.. or as a shinigami... This was Kuuri himself, coming in sync with his abilities.... He was using his body and his mind as one, at the same time mastering his own style of doing so.... He blinked for a second.. feeling something was over him... Some 'Presence'... it was familiar.... And it seemed he knew it from somewhere.... But it was blurry in his mind... No time to pay mind to such a small thing... He'd allow the presence to stay in his mind and body as long as it didn't interrupt him...
Kuuri stood in the middle of the area.. the circle now cut in half.. seeing as though the dummy directly in front of him.. and the one directly behind him were now gone... Making the circle incomplete... He stood over one of the dummies he'd fought earlier.... Now taking his stance once more... This time, something felt different about him.. Something was 'with' him... AS if it were guiding him.... A faint image of 'something'... not a human shape, but an animals.... It looked slightly like a bird... but it was bigger...
Kuuri focused better now.. looking at the dummy to the left of him.... He took his stance and made his hands into the talon shape he now used very often.... He suddenly sprinted at a great speed... looking like a stop-motion picture again... this time you could see him between him and his target though.... He appeared again now... Directly in front of the dummy... He launched his right hand talon towards the dummies face with a low growl... It was an attack completely focused and perfectly executed... The target was a single 'Point' on the dummies face, and it hit it with great precision.... That attack would have surely broken a persons jaw instantly due to the hand position and force fol owing it... the dummy now was dented.. he'd dented wood smoothly as if it were built that way!!
He let out a low growl as his right hand cocked back, still as a talon... his left arm now lunged directly out, his body turning and stretching with it so that it'd go farther into the connection point and not just tap the dummy on the face.... But actually 'Go Through' the dummies head!! His talon shaped fist had actually hit the dummy where the nose 'would' be.. but instead of just hitting it, he'd stuck his hand directly through the dummies head as if it weren't there.... the speed and force.. combined with the precision caused the dummies head eruption to appear as a late reaction.. for a split second, you could see that Kuuri's hand was directly 'IN' with the wood.... His eyes could actually catch this speed though....?
Kuuri turned his head so he could see the outcome of his technique.... the dummies head was...destroyed!! the head had actually looked to split or exploded form the inside... his fist had did such a thing..? Kuuri was surprised at himself... Now feeling the presence even more then before.... He looked down at the ground.. a few pieces of the dummies head on the floor right in front of him... He went to a normal standing position.. looking around and seeing that pieces of the dummies head were everywhere through the dojo.. One piece had actually stabbed a dummy he hadn't even looked at yet... It had a half foot long, thin splinter stuck directly into its head... Kuuri smirked as he bowed once more...
[I've only mentioned my zanpakuto spirit once.. this post says that he's starting to faintly show himself to Kuuri.. and is helping him out... He doesn't even notice that he did all of this without his own reistu... He used only 1% of Korimatsu's..]

Kuuri had walked back to the center.. bowing once more at all the dummies he'd destroyed and attacked for training.... They were all attacked in different ways... different styles.. with unpredictable outcomes... Ones leg was cracked.. and its body shattered by the ground... One's torso area was splintered, and knocked 'into' the dummy.. his head off and on the floor somewhere now...?! The last one though... The last was decimated even greater.. but by one 'Final Blow' type attack.. he didn't even know he could do!!
He now stood there... choosing a dummy, then facing it... "I'm guessing I can't put my foot through this one.. so lets keep the training up... Then 'all' my moves will be like that... or not..." He smirked and focused again now.. running at the dummy, his legs becoming blurred as he did so... This was 'Visible Stealth' in which he could be stealthy and low, while still being seen.. His location he'd be heading for however, would be safe and hidden...
He reached the dummy, and ducked down.... He repeated his launch pad move form earlier, pronging his leg for a complete 'super jump'... Once his feet became head height of the dummy, he began to roundhouse kick, aerial style... He was doing a sort of helicopter kick, spinning in the air with his unused leg pulled in... As he continuously kicked the head, splinters began to pop out.... but on the other side of the dummies head... Once this happened.. he fell back to the ground... crouched again, but on all fours... He shifted his body forward, so he was on his front hands, flipping into a handstand, then planting his feet on the dummies lower torso.... He then proceeded to push and lift the dummy into the sky, shooting him from his spot.. to the ceiling...
Kuuri didn't let this opportunity fail.... He disappeared with blinding speed, appearing as a stop-motion image until he caught the dummy in another weird throw.. his body attaching to the front of its body, his legs cocked in as if he were spider-man!! He spun three times before throwing the dummy yet again.. this time letting it fly out the door.... It was clear that his training regimen was over.. seeing as though he was now just playing around with his old style in its aerial form.. being creative..
"Alrighty... It seems that that 'thing' that happened earlier got me off focus... I'd better get back to the training grounds now..."
With that.. Kuuri jumped into the air... disappearing... He was soon seen jumping from rooftop, to rooftop, again...
[I figure an hour or two passed while he trained.. I'll say three..x3]

[enters from training area ...]
Sho walks up to the dojo and stops short of going in. He takes off his straw sandals and sets them by side. He then opens the door and takes two steps into the dojo and bows. Recovering from the bow he turns and closes the door behind himself.
Walking to the middle of the matted area, Sho kneels down and takes a position to start his meditation session. Taking a deep breath Sho closes his eyes and lets himself drift off to the training area and the words of Master Yamoto. His lessons about controlling his Reiatsu and using it to make the sword hand. Sho slowly opens his eyes and can feel the power of his Reiatsu building and flowing throughout his body.
Sho stands up and starts to perform his Kempo Karate Long Form #1 which is blocking & countering techniques while retreating. As Sho goes through the kata, for each block he performs he adds a little of his Reiatsu to the blocking strike. Doing this not only blocks his attackers attack but, causes a lot of pain and damage to his attacker. Enough pain and damage to make his attacker think twice before throwing another punch or kick.
Sho stops after an hour of working on his Kempo Karate Long Form #1. He now knows at what point to use his Reiatsu while blocking his opponents attacks. This will cause his opponent damage to his hands and feet. Because without them, he can not attack. Sho smiles .... then ends his workout.
He walks over to the door and bows before exiting. Putting on his straw sandals Sho closes the door to the dojo and heads out to the barracks.
[exit to barracks ....]
