 Evergreen forest, vast amount of area. Large, tall trees keep the area shaded, yet the brightness of the sun keeps the area bright. Somewhere far from civilization, and hundreds of miles in the insides of the forest. Not many creatures inhabit the area, yet the sight is one to see. a small stream keeps the area alive, and the gentle sounds of water make the forest sound heavenly.

▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇ ▇ ▇ ▇▇▇ "Those with wavering hearts cannot gain true strength, and fall to the darkness......Only the hearts who have discovered their true direction, can use the power hidden deep within the light of their soul." ▇▇▇ ▇ ▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Not too far from the river, a senkaimon opens. A kid walks out of the sliding doors, alone and quiet. He looks around at the surroundings, listening to the forest around him. The running water caught his attention, and he sat on one of the rocks to relax. He was awaiting his soon to be squad mate after inviting her to train with him. He figured that they would be working together as a team any way, so it would be time to get started.
Well if we don't start, then who will be the ones unprepared.
Tsukirou kept his backmounted blade in shikai, but his attitude right now was calm. He only wanted a quite sword to sword spar with Junsui, and he wanted to spar in order to make a communication with his new comrade. If she was a quiet type, there would be no way to work together in the field.
I don't plan on fighting harshly, but if Shadow gets too rowdy I may not have a choice.

She stared in awe of the vast beauty the forest had to offer as she walked out of the gate. She could already sense the boys seemingly insuppressible spiritual energy and tracked it to it's source. "Excuse me, Sir Hiragano is it?"She stood behind him a couple feet away from where he was sitting. She held the end of her hood loosely; she always felt paranoid about her eyes even slightly showing which is why she would always find herself adjusting her hood unconsciously. She couldn't help it besides she couldn't afford too look into someones eyes without assuring 'it' would happen.

He tried to get a good look at her, but she kept herself out of sight very well. He took a stand and bowed politely and respectively to Junsui.
"Welcome Shirayuki. I'm glad you could make it. Just let me know when you are ready to begin. In the meant time, you should get acquainted with the area."
He could tell that she was enjoying the area, but the fact that he couldn't see her eyes was driving him insane. He didn't know how he was supposed to respect her if he didn't look at her directly. And during a fight, he would be having a hard time communicating with her.
"You do know why I brought you here right? We need to prepare ourselves to work as a team, so keep that in mind, alright?"
He gave her a soft smile, and he turned back towards the river that streamed past him.

She couldn't help but notice a slight unease in him, although very friendly and welcoming. This seemed to happen a lot to her considering most people find it suspicious to hide her eyes. "I understand this is simply a formality, but I must say it's a pleasure to meet you Sir Hiragano."She didn't return the smile instead she looked at her surroundings as she placed her hand lazily at the hilt of her katana.

If we want to work together, we are going to have to communicate like a team. I'm sure you have a name that you would like to be called besides your last. I'm all ears."
Tsukirou began walking on the waters, concentrating his reiatsu under his feet as he went across. His coat flowed just above the waters as he was careful not to get it wet. His backmounted blade was untouched, however he watched as the other shinigami was holding the hilt of her blade in preparation.
She does seem to be on guard most of the time, but for the wrong reasons. Or perhaps I can see that as a strength. It all depends on how she uses it, and what circumstances bring them down.
The boy's reiatsu began circulating in a complex pattern. His hands were in his jacket pockets, and his tail was low but not dragging. His ears were fixed on Junsui, waiting for either a response or attack. The most important thing Tsukirou was looking for was the way she started a spar or a battle.
If she follows through, then maybe having her as a partner won't be so bad. I'm not one to judge first impressions, but it's important to know what I'm dealing with before we go on a real mission.

With a sigh she hesitantly removed her hood with her head down and eyes closed. "I always get the same reaction, none the less I've never truly shown anyone my eyes. Since were going to be future squad members together I would hope I can trust you. They' re nothing special really."She couldn't help the little white lie that slipped from her tongue, but it wouldn't be the first. Her eyes had a background all their own, but explaining these things to people just didn't prove anything, at least that's how she felt. Also she'd always been one to keep her emotions pent up so that she would not burden anyone. Thinking twice about her actions just may have gave her a hint of regret. Then again it would be nice to have one less person thinking she was inapproachable.

It's a pleasure to meet you, and honored that you've come to my squad. I may not be a leader, but squad 10 is rather organized compared to most. I'm hoping to be captain soon, then I can officially take over the squad and get it back into shape."
Tsukirou turned fully towards the woman in respects, giving her a slight yet noticeable smile. He didn't know if she could see, but knowing that her hood was down meant that she was preparing herself.
"When you are ready, we can start. I'm not here to go all out, but don't be afraid to."
The boy did not move for his weapon yet as he waited for her, he did not want to alarm her or push her to start when she wasn't ready. He did keep a close eye on her, and was on guard to make sure he was prepared for anything she could do.
She's got to open her eyes during battle, or she'll end up injured before I even take out my weapon.

She unsheathed the sword at her hip in a swift movement and held it limply at her side. "As you wish I guess."She matched her eyes to his giving him an emotionless piercing stare that could send chills down anyones spine. Although her eyes were beautiful they were also deadly in many ways. Using shunpo she appeared behind him slashing down at his right shoulder.

He easily blocked her blade by just inching his zanpakuto out of its sheath, barely letting out any part of his blade. His other hand was out of his pocket. However, instead of reaching to grab Junsui, Tsukirou placed his hand on his back, facing the palm out towards her stomach. With no warning, a burst of energy blasted out. Although the initial attack is usually not lethal, from this range it would be like taking a hit from a cannon standing right in front of it, effectively pushing his opponent back far.
"I am not one to judge, but you're a bit to hasty for your own good. I'm not one to be quickly defeated, so take it slower and think it out before attacking recklessly."
His expression became serious, as he knew that this woman would not be taking it easy as he had hoped. He did not face her yet as he waited for her next attack.
Her eyes are a bit off though... it's missing something...

Lifting her left hand to Tsukirou's back she also launched an attack or rather hado. "Sho..."She said quietly as a force pushed Tsukirou forward she did a backflip to dodge the energy coming toward her. "Seems as though your underestimating my abilities, either that or your just that overrated. I've seen what you can accomplish, there's no need to inform me of your capabilities. And I'm afraid you are a bit quick to judge."She spoke with no specific tone in her voice, she didn't even look at him. [1.Sho(Thrust)- Pushes the target away from the caster.]

Tsukirou caught Junsui's sho with the hand he used for his first attack, keeping it held until it disintegrated on its own. He watched as the woman made her retreat. Now he knew that there was no way he could hold back and keep his own, she knew 90% of his abilities. And he wasn't planning on showing her the other 10% either. He had used most of his tricks fighting Grimmjow, and he didn't know how long she was there.
I have to assume she was there since the beginning. So here's the real question, does she know how to counter each attack?
The kid thought of the possibilities of her actually coming up with a counter beforehand, and found it unlikely, but not impossible.
"I was never wrong from the beginning. I'm not underestimating or overestimating. Just testing the waters. I did remember you from somewhere though, I just never thought it would be with the little fight I had with the previous espada. That makes things easier for you. I can't go easy on you like I originally hoped, I really like this place."
Tsukirou slashed his blade quickly, sending a sharp quick wave of reiatsu towards Junsui. Trees in the way were effortlessly and smoothly cut by the sheer speed and sharpness of the wave.

Suddenly her teal eyes lit and the wave of energy was enveloped in a teal glow. It began to slow as if another force was opposing it or pulling it back. "Scar, Sairento Uttori Himei."Calling for her shikai she lashed her zanpakuto it's blade changed to a whip, the hilt stayed the same. Her eyes faded into it's regular state and the attack coming toward her regained its' speed. "Silent Crescent..."Commanding again she slashed her whip in the direction of the wave. Nothing seemed to happen until something had collided with Tsukirou's attack both forces canceling out."Forgive me, if things didn't go according to plan."

Tsukirou was behind Junsui in a moment, as he figured that it would be the perfect time to attack from a blind spot. She would have been too concentrated on the wave and her next attack to have noticed Tsukirou move around her. He had watched what had happened from her point of view, and that was more information than he needed. Although he still had more questions about his attack slowing down, he made sure that she wasn't given another chance to use it again. He slashed his blade down on her back quickly and precisely, careful not to hit any vitals but good enough to slow her down.
That whip released an invisible energy that was able to cancel out my own attack. There was a slight lag before her attack hit mine, but I can't assume that was it's top speed.
The kid began thinking of other things he would need to know in order to get to Junsui, but pretty much knew the basics of her attacks.
