Welcome to Gaia! ::

Setting: Forest clearing the surrounding area is densely wooded, Zaine had actually stumbled upon it accidently back in his academy days, It's a place of immense beauty, shaded by the treetops the lighting is dim, broken occasionally by gaps in the treetop, there is a stream fed by a small waterfall, as the water crashes onto the rocks below the spray refracts in the sunlight creating a myriad of rainbows and colors. Zaine leans against a tree waiting for his opponent to arrive, Zaine's reasons for choosing this place were simple, it was far from any possible casualties and, he felt that he should show Razil this place to apologize for the lateness of the promised match.



Zaine whistles softly while waiting, his cross glinting in the shifting sunlight to his right stood his Zanpakutoh, it was only a few inches short of being his height, the twin blades glinted also the silver and cold threads seeming to have a light of their own. "Geeze, really hope he isn't mad I meant to take his offer sooner but things came up." he said thinking back to the recent battles, giving a small shrug Zaine closes his golden eyes, fleck with crimson and continues his tune, a small smile on his lips as he did so.

Zaine grins sheepishly, "Haven't learned yet." he says, his face a bit flushed he then looks Razil's blade, "How about your's?" he asks pushing himself off the tree to face the man, the tingling of the unusual cross on his neck sounding quite loud in the quite clearing, internally Zaine was excited, as he was before every match or battle, he was in awe of the man's spiritual pressure "Damn I'm crazy.......not only is he Vice Captain of squad 1 but a Zaigou to boot, Zaine your gonna get killed one day for acting this way." his inner voice says, thinking that over a bit he replies to the voice "Hell, I wouldn't have it any other way, I won't learn from fighting people on par with me now will I?" he thinks, his adrenaline pumping already Zaine had stored Reiatsu at his core, saveing it for quick usage if needed.

(You read my profile right?)

Zaine grins, "Let's have some fun, okay?" he asks then suddenly he releases a pulse of reiatsu from his shoulder, knocking the away from his body, "I'll take you up on that, but I expect no less from you also!" he says his grin widening slighly as he dashes forward trying to close the distance between the two, Zaine move amazingly fast despite the size of his Zanpakutoh, "I've been looking forward to this!" he says as he slashes out.

(Yeah I did, I'm pretty screwed XD, oh well good luck and hope you have fun, I'm sure I will)

Zaine smiled, "As you wish, as if I had forgotten." he responds, feeling Razil use Shunpo Zaine curses, and releases a pulse of reiatsu on his left side, and putting his blade in a defensive position on the right, Zaine recieves a shallow cut between ribs on his right side, "Damn, gotta be faster!" he says scolding himself, looking at the ground Zaine sees his opponents shadow, and hears the familiar chant "Okay Zaine, focus." he says to himself as he leaps away from the target area, the tail of his coat getting singed by the strike, Zaine turns quickly, showing his unusually high agility and begins to spin his blade, creating a razordisk in his hand. Planting his feet Zaine prepares for the continued assualt.

Zaine swings the disk in the opposite direction, deflecting the strike. Following up Zaine ducks low and gets in close, attempting to place his open palm on Razil and release a highly concentrated pulse of Reiatsu throughout his body.

Zaine grins at the praise, "Thanks, that really means alot coming from yourself, I'm deeply apprecitative." he says as mirrors Razil's retreat. Eyes widening at the appearence of the blades Zaine chuckles at the challenge. "Hell, I've never been one to turn down a challenge. So here goes nothing!" Sprinting towards Razil he prepare's the reiatsu stored in his core for use.

Zaine continued his dash, attempting to close the gap between himself and the Vice-Captain, once within striking distance he begins his own attack meeting the swordblows with fierce determination. "Pretty nice move, think I could learn it someday?" Zaine asks with a grin, deflecting the reiatsu blades with pulses from areas that were under attack.
