Welcome to Gaia! ::

(( I'm not here at the same time I'm on earth... This is happening immediately prior to my departure... ))

Mockadash didn't move a single muscle, and Kintaro's Geki successfully hit him... He was paralyzed by it!!!

Suddenly, small cracks and fissures started to appear on the surface of the red orb, that was around him... From those fissures, indigo toned reiatsu started to escape, as if it was smoke... The fissures grew even more, and in just a matter of seconds, Mock released himself from The Bakudo!!!... Shards of red were being projected everywhere, as strong burst of indigo violently erupted around the shinigami, only to fade away and slowly vanish, in a very similar way as the shards were doing...

Now, you have two lessons to take from this...
First lesson... Normally you need a long time to cast the spell, before letting go of it, and that makes you vulnerable... It also gives away you're intention, because your opponent will know exactly what it is you're casting... So, he can either dodge it, or use this opportunity to counter...
Second lesson... If you use it on someone who has considerable stronger reiatsu than you, he or she will have no problem in breaking out of the paralysis...

If you would be able to paralyze someone with this spell, victory would be yours!!!... But... Truth be told... I've never seen this technique giving victory to anyone, by itself alone... Most of the time people just dodge it...

Nevertheless, this kidou can prove to be usefull and even turn the tides of the battle, if you use it efficiently... But that's up to your imagination!!!...

Mock smiled at his friend Now... Let's move on, shall we???

Kintaro listened to everything Mockadash said after his release from the bakudou.
"Okay, I'll keep what You've told me in mind... It could be useful in close range if you can devise a plan to not show your intention untill its too late."
He said as he smiled to mockadash.
"Thanks! Lets! Hadou #4... White Lightning, right?" surprised

Hakira silently sheaths his sword, and leaves the dojo. It seemed like this was enough training for the day. He was sweating bullets, and his arms were swollen. He had to be a match to Mocka. Otherwise, he wouldn't be taken seriously, and would never obtain a seated position in the serentai.

(( OOC: Sorry to spoil your excitement, Kintaro... But, you shouldn't have learn the kidou in only one post... I didn't RPed that no one get's it right the first time, because I thought you knew that, and I was giving the opportunity for you to RP that... My fault, if by saying that "it's wasy to perform" I made you think that you could achieve it in one try...

Rule of thumb in RP: No one, never gets anything done right at the first time!!!

You should have RPed that you couldn't transform the reiatsu into lightning - since it is hard at first to do so... You don't just discharged the reiatsu like you do with Shou... - or you could have missed the target a few times - you could have said that the lightning described a weird arc, or that the direction of the lightning didn't follow a straight line from your aim...

But I think it's fine if we overlook this, just this time, since you had some previous training with discharging reiatsu in the first posts... And after all, there was no need to RP this training since every new guild member already starts with this kidous... We were just improving RP skills, anyway...

Just use this as a reminder, not to do it again... ))

MockaDash was honestly surprised with Kintaro's achievement That was really good, for a first try!!!... Are you sure you've never done this hadou before??? It's uncommon to get it right on the first try... But you did it!!!

Mock smiled at his friend, as he got closer to him and tapped him on the shoulder... Your aim wasn't very accurate and the lightning did fickle a little... But, you were able to release it and hit the center of the target!!!... So I must say that it was a complete success!!!

It's not very powerful yet, but for someone of your level it is good enough...

I have to go now... Be sure to continue to practice this spells... They still need improvement!!!... Don't forget to get this room cleaned up!!!...

Well... See ya when I get back from Earth!!!...

Saying this, Mock vanished by Shumpoing out of the Dojo...

[EXITS]

After what felt like hours of meditation, Kuro opened his eyes and glanced around the Dojo. It was empty.

Everyone must have left while I was meditating. Good.

The one thing Kuro disliked the most about training was when people watched him. He could never get rid of the feeling that he was being judged by the people on his performance. This usually ticked Kuro off, but luckily for him the Dojo was all his now. As he began to move his feet to get up, Kuro began to think about what he could and needed to work on. He could focus on his reiatsu control and practice some Kidou or he could work on his swordsman ship with some basic Kendo.

"Decisions, decisions." he said to himself.

After debating with himself for a couple for a couple of minutes, Kuro decided to start out with basic reiatsu control. This would be a good warm up for his Kidou training. First, he slowly let his reiatsu flow freely out of his body and circle his body. Concentrating on the image of a sphere, Kuro focused his surrounding reiatsu into his now open palm. Slowly, but surely, his reiatsu formed into a small sphere shape in his palm. He then forced more reiatsu into the sphere, thus increasing its size and the difficulty of the control.

Once the sphere of reiatsu was about the size of his head, Kuro released his concentration and the ball quickly disintegrated into nothingness. He decided to begin with the most basic of Hadou, Thrust. Kuro raised his right hand to be exactly parallel to the ground. He slowly lifted his right index finger and pointed it at the Dummy closest to him. Using the same concentration from before, Kuro hand began shake a bit as his reiatsu built in his index finger quickly ripened.

"Hadou #1! Sho!" Kuro said calmly as he released the built up reiatsu at the dummy.

The blast of Kuro's reiatsu hit the dummy square on chest, knocking it off the peg keeping it standing and at the back wall. A small smile grew on Kuro's face.

"That was better than expected." he said to himself in a happy tone.

He would continue to practice Hadou #1 for a bit more, with more and more improvement after each use.

Sho walks up to the front doors of the dojo and removes his straw sandals and leaves them outside on the front porch. He drops his bag next to his sandals. Sho then bow's showing his respect for the dojo before he opens the front door and enters.

Upon entering Sho looks around and he see's no one. Before he steps onto the mat he bow's again and then enters. Sho looks around for a few minutes to get himself familiar with the surroundings of the dojo and what equipment is available for him to use. He then walks over and finds a nice corner and grabs a seat. Sho says to himself, "I need to get focused before I go see Master Moto and report for duty. This is the biggest decision of my life and I have to be mentally prepaired as well as physically prepaired for whats in the future. I must become one with myself."

Once in position, Sho starts his meditation. Flashbacks from his childhood have always plagued his meditation sessions and this one is no different .... visions of him fighting off Ninja to protect his mother .... sounds of clashing swords ...... warm blood being splattered all over him .... the screams of the villages woman and children being killed by the Ninja .... The scream of his mother telling him to run .... and then her final scream before being stabbed to death by a Ninja ....

Sho opens his eyes and is covered in sweat from head to toe. Breathing heavy as though he was there again .... as though he was in the fight for his life again. It takes Sho a couple of seconds to focus and remember where he is. Breathing heavy he looks around to see if anyone is watching ..... Sho get's up and moves to the middle of the dojo to start his kata's.

[Tenchi Katsou]

It was Tenchi's first day in the Squad. His excitment was getting to his head. He ran across the First Divisions' Buildings. Most of them held people, but he rushed into the Dojo, seeing no one inside. It looked almost as if it where abandoned. Dust was collected on the floor, and some cobwebs where strung near the door. He walked in slowly, pacing through the Dojo. He slipped his sandals off, as he walked inside. He looked around, seeing no one inside. He flipped back, and slidd across the floor. Dust collected as his feet slid across the wood floors. A smile grew on his face.

"Hiya!" he yelled, landing and his Zanpakutou slicing the air infront of him. He spun his hilt, and his blade followed. He lifted the blade up, and rested it on his left shoulder. He then sliced the side next to him, cutting through the air. The sound of the air collecting behind his blade, ingulfed him in some sort of extacy. He and his blade, his mind, his body, his very soul, where intertwined as one. He felt as if he where in unlimmited bliss. He aimed his arm foward. His palm, aiming at a straw doll; "Restrain!" he yelled, as suddenly the doll ripped from it's place, and fell. It rolled on the ground, with it's little arms tucked behind it's back. He smiled seeing it fell.
