a flash in the dark |xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxsemi-private rp, prior to main storyline xxxxxxxxxxxxx
participants | xxxxxxx
A k a k a k u s h i - Sugawara Enryo | Third Seat, Squad Thirteen
Zigzag_Dragonslayer - Dawn Noir | Third Seat, Squad Ten
Onin Harashi Tsuna - Lorde Saikyou | Captain, Squad Thirteen Want to see your name here? PM Akakakushi!This RP is for practise and testing purposes between myself, Zigzag_Dragonslayer, and Onin Harashi Tsuna. If you'd like to get in on the fun, just PM me and let me know you're dropping in! We'll be giving each other some feedback here on RP styles, combat techniques (with regards to RPing combat), and that sort of gag, and maybe establishing some character relationships along the way, so that when the main RP gets underway in full, we're all set.
rules | xxxxxxx
Kido below level 60 are permitted, if useable.
Shikai may be used, but must follow its duration as outlined in your character's profile.
Bankai is not permitted, if available. We're just training, not trying to blow each other to bits, remember?
Don't blow up the Seireitei either. We kind of need that.
Constructive criticism is welcome, wanted and needed - but don't be a jerk. If you'd like to make a comment on another player's actions, please make sure to place it in the OOC section of your post layout (if you have one) rather than making a second post.
Quote the person/people you're dealing with so that they know you've made your move. An empty quote will suffice.
Take it easy and have fun!

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxm o o nxxxa n dxxxs u n xx━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━╯ Dawn was holding her Zanpakutō with both her hands as she swung her blade up and down. She had escaped the Seireitei for just a night to do a little personal training before the Fire Festival. She was currently in a clearing in a Rukon District forest.
Then Dawn heard a boom. She looked up to see a firework go off right above her.
“Was that a firework?”
“Yes Natsunoyo, that’s a firework. What did you think it was?
“Hey! I’m just making sure.”
“Stop it! Both of you!”
Dawn was dangerously close to losing her temper. Just then another firework went off above Dawn. The Third seat exploded and started to curse.
She continued to swear loudly as she stalked in the direction the pyrotechnics had come from. Soon Dawn saw a boy with messy brown hair in Heian period clothing. He had boxes of fireworks surrounding him and was preparing to shoot of another one. His back was to Dawn.
Dawn stopped at the edge of yelling distanced and yelled, " “WHAT THE H***! WATCH WHERE YOU AIM THOSE! YOU ALMOST KILLED ME! TWICE!” Dawn repeated herself for good measure, " “TWICE! YOU IDIOT! “
Dawn was wearing her uniform. Outwardly it looked completely normal but Dawn and altered to have as many pockets as possible. She was also wearing her green cape. Her right hand was one her hip. Her left hand was gripping the hilt of Fuyunohi to Natsunoyo. Her sheath was on her back and her purple eyes raged. ╭━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━xx

where did you g o? xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxas days go byxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxthe night's on fire
"Firing!" he cried out, lighting the fuse with a spark of controlled Kido that danced from his fingertips. Enryo had gotten good at control. Or, at least, he'd hoped he had - one misfire at this distance, and the shell would explode right in his face. And women across the Seireitei would mourn the loss of a national treasure. Couldn't have that now, could we?
Within moments, the cherry bomb screamed out of the barrel of the old wooden cannon Enryo had so lovingly crafted and disappeared into the night. His young charge, Yuè Ruan, plugged his ears and watched the sky with eager anticipation. He knew full well what was coming, and he also knew that Enryo's pyrotechnics rarely disappointed.
In an instant, the sky exploded in a brilliant display of the brightest golden-white light, followed by an ear-splitting explosion that no doubt shook windows for miles around. Yuè's face lit up with glee.
"En-gēgē! That was amazing!" he sang. Despite being hundreds of years old, there were times that he really just acted like a child, and this was one of them. Enryo smirked and planted his broad palm on the top of his younger brother's head, mussing the boy's snow-white hair. His other hand fumbled around in his satchel for a small, worn-out notebook. He thumbed through it for a second, then began writing.
"Think so, eh? I dunno, could have been better. More colourful. Next time, I think I'll add more sodium and calcium to the gunpowder mix - make it a brighter yellow," he murmured. He wasn't really looking for any sort of response; he was just thinking out loud. "Now, can you go grab a couple of those little mortars from the pile over there for me? The ones by my sword?"
Yuè trotted over to a sizable mound of round firecrackers and picked a few of them up with great care. His eyes stopped for a moment on the dejected-looking sword on the ground by his feet. Shiranui, Enryo's Zanpakutō. As someone who didn't have a Zanpakutō of his own, Yuè kind of felt sad whenever he thought about the broken relationship that Enryo and his sword shared. He reached over and picked up Shiranui, tucked it under his arm, and walked carefully back to Enryo.
"Here you go!" Yuè said, extending his hands out to offer Enryo the firecrackers. With a dark, expectant chuckle, he took them and began refitting his cannon so it would fire them properly.
"Thanks, kiddo. Now stand back; I'm not so sure how well these ones worked out," he admitted with a sheepish laugh. Yuè stared at his feet.
"Um... En-gēgē... I brought you your Shiranui, too..." Yuè half-whispered, nudging the sword towards his elder brother. Enryo looked over his shoulder and his eyes fell on the sword's brilliant white sheath. His brow furrowed.
"Oh, uh... thanks." His slender fingers, almost always smelling faintly of gunpowder, wrapped around the sword's hilt as he slipped the blade into his belt. He may hate Shiranui with everything he has, but if Yuè wanted him to carry it around, hell, he'd indulge him for a while.
He loaded one of the small mortars into the cannon, which was balanced on his left shoulder, then nodded for Yuè to take a few steps back. He reached back to the fuse, ignited the reishi that gathered on the tips of his fingers, and created another sharp red spark.
The night air lit up once again. This time, the explosion was a beautiful whitish-blue, and formed the shape of the kanji for 'fire' in the darkness. Yuè waas ecstatic - it was his favourite colour. Enryo... less so. It reminded him of Shiranui's milquetoast flames. He scribbled down in his notebook to add more copper to that batch to make them a richer blue in the future.
"What the hell! Watch where you aim those! You almost killed me! Twice! Twice, you idiot!" came an irate shout from somewhere nearby. Enryo rose to his feet, puzzled.
"Yuè, you heard that too, right?" he asked. Yuè nodded quickly, taking a few steps closer to his elder brother. Enryo's eyes narrowed playfully as he scanned the darkness. He couldn't see anything - his eyes were still blinded by the flash - but it had been a girl's voice that had shouted.
"Enryo, whatever you're planning - please reconsider..." Yuè begged. He knew that look on his face, and it almost always spelled trouble. It also meant that there was no way anyone could dissuade him from what he was about to do, but Yuè thought he'd try and talk some sense into him anyway.
No such luck for him.
"Hey! Sorry about that," he called out into the night. "I didn't realize anyone was nearby! It's usually pretty empty out here at this time of night, yeah? Why don't you come on out, so I can apologize in person?"

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxm o o nxxxa n dxxxs u n xx━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━╯ Dawn scowled and turned to walk back to her training. She didn’t have time to mess around with pyromaniacs with a death wish. People still spoke of the Black Sunrise in the further districts of the Rukon. This boy may not have heard of her but that didn’t make her any less dangerous.
Dawn stopped when she heard a voice, “Hey! Sorry about that. I didn’t realize anyone was nearby! It's usually pretty empty out here at this time of night, yeah? Why don't you come on out, so I can apologize in person?”
“It wouldn’t hurt to go say hello.”
“Besides if he tries anything you can slice him up.”
Dawn turned back to look at the crazy pyromaniac. There was a small boy behind him. It looked like the boy was pleading with him.
Dawn scowled, "Fine!”
Dawn didn’t bother to put her Zanpakutō away. She stalked forward until she was about ten feet directly in front of the firework fire. Dawn stood with her feet apart. As she walked she switch her blade from her left hand to her right. Now Dawn placed her left hand on her hip and held Fuyunohi to Natsunoyo so it’s point was pointing at the ground.
Dawn snapped, “There now you can see me!” Dawn pointed Fuyunohi to Natsunoyo at her training glade, "I’m training over there so, don’t aim in that direction!” ╭━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━xx

"There, now you can see me! I'm training over there, so don't aim in that direction!" the girl shouted, waving her swords haphazardly at a grove behind her. Enryo studied her intensely, making note of as much as he could in a short period of time. Quick analysis of a situation was one of the things he excelled in.
From her Reiatsu, he pegged her at... vice-captain? No, she wasn't at quite that level. Third seat then, maybe? She had good control over her spiritual pressure. Highly condensed. Blue and red. She was tall and slender - built for combat - but pale; exceptionally pale. Something about her was familiar, but...
And then it dawned on him - pun absolutely intended. He flashed his trademark wolfish grin. He knew exactly who this girl was.
"Training, huh? What a coincidence - so am I. But by the looks of it, we're both training for very different things," he chirped. He picked up his cannon and upended it, pointing it skyward harmlessly and resting his hand on the barrel. His free hand instinctively drifted to Shiranui. "Me, I'm preparing for the Fire Festival. It's still a ways off yet, but I always over-prepare for big spectacles like that one. What about yourself? What is it that you're training for... Dawn Noir, third seat of Squad Ten?"
Yuè went pale. He knew about the Black Sunrise, but he'd never seen her in person. Now that he had... well, 'intimidated' wouldn't quite cover it. He tugged on the shirt Enryo had tied around his waist.
"En-gēgē... this girl is..." he started. Enryo shot him a look over his shoulder that silenced the boy instantly. His smile never left his face.
"The Black Sunrise? Yeah, I know," he said lazily, cracking his neck. "I'm sorry I disturbed your training with mine, but I'm afraid I can't change the trajectory of my fireworks. If I did that, I'd blow up a building or something, and that'd be... unfortunate, yeah? But hey, let's make this fun and play a little game of sorts. Spar with me for a bit. If you win, I'll take off for the night. If I win, you take off instead. Down for that?"
"Gods, but you are a fool, aren't you? Challenging her, without even a proper weapon?" came a cold, berating voice through Enryo's mind. He tensed. He knew this voice, and he hated it.
'The hell do you want, Shiranui?' he spat bitterly. 'And in case you've forgotten, I should have a proper weapon, but somebody around here doesn't do their damn job.'
Shiranui chuckled.
"Ah, but who here is the subordinate in our little relationship, mm? You're a mighty Shinigami, and I'm but your lowly sword. If you can't use my abilities to full effect, that's hardly my fault, now, is it, Master?" Shiranui gushed. There was so much contempt in every word it nearly made Enryo sick.
'Just shut up and get ready to fight, idiot,' Enryo snarled back, with just as much acid. Outwardly, though, his expression had changed little - his annoyance was visible in his eyes, but his grin had gone nowhere. "Yuè, go back to the barracks and tell Captain Saikyou that I'm going to be a little late getting to that paperwork she dumped on me."
Yuè took a few cautious steps back.
"Enryo... you don't have to do th--"
"Oh come on, not you too. I get enough crap from Shiranui and Yuzuki about how I do things," he moaned. His expression softened as he looked down at his little brother's worried eyes. "Just... go and tell Captain Saikyou. I'll be fine, Yuè. Just you wait and see. Ol' Enryo may not have the best sword ever, but he's still got a few tricks up his sleeve."
Yuè hesitated for a moment, contemplating the wisdom of reminding Enryo that his shirt was tied around his waist - he had no sleeves, so the metaphor was moot. He thought better of it and tore off into the night, in the direction of Squad Thirteen's barracks. Enryo watched him disappear into the darkness, then turned back to face Dawn.
"Now then, where were we?"

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxm o o nxxxa n dxxxs u n xx━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━╯ Dawn watched as the boy observed her and observed him in return. He wasn’t dressed like a Shinagami. Not that that meant anything to Dawn; she was well aware that Shingami could wear whatever they wanted when not on duty. He looked to be about her height; an inch shy of six feet. HI hair was a strange brown color; like it had been red but someone had burnt it. His yellow eyes enhanced his wolfish grin. In Dawn’s option men who grinned like that were predators and not to be trusted.
The pyromaniac spoke, "Training, huh? What a coincidence - so am I. But by the looks of it, we're both training for very different things.” The boy shifted his canon, “Me, I'm preparing for the Fire Festival. It's still a ways off yet, but I always over-prepare for big spectacles like that one. What about yourself? What is it that you're training for... Dawn Noir, third seat of Squad Ten?”
Dawn felt her anger freeze into detached coldness. He had heard of her. Dawn didn’t think this meant he had the advantage. If he thought he did he was sorely mistaken. Dawn was used to her opponent knowing her while she didn’t know them. That was what happened when you made a name for yourself.
The small boy tugged on the firework launcher’s sleeve. Dawn quickly realized that the child had heard of the Black Sunrise. He had gone a pale color and look absolutely terrified.
He whispered, "En-gēgē... this girl is...”
The pyromaniac shot him a look that silenced him swiftly. Not once did that smile leave his face.
"He’s trouble. I’m sure of it.
Just kill him now!
“Just shut up. Both of you. I’m trying to think.”
The boy, Dawn supposed she should stop calling him boy; he looked to be about her age, cracked his neck, “The Black Sunrise? Yeah, I know. I'm sorry I disturbed your training with mine, but I'm afraid I can't change the trajectory of my fireworks. If I did that, I'd blow up a building or something, and that'd be... unfortunate, yeah? But hey, let's make this fun and play a little game of sorts. Spar with me for a bit. If you win, I'll take off for the night. If I win, you take off instead. Down for that?”
"Now we have and excuse to kill him.
"How do you keep forgetting that Dawn is a Shingami now? Shinagami don’t just kill people for no good reason.
“What part of shut up don’t you two not understand?”
"Sorry!”
Dawn swung her blade up to rest the flat of it on her right shoulder. Her left hand came up to rub against the scars on her right wrist. Dawn considered the young man’s proposal.
Dawn coldly said, “You know, I know you’re dangerous. And I know that even though I don’t know who you are, you must have some kind of power but,” Dawn cocked her head to the side. “You sent the boy away. I think I like you. Don’t get me wrong, you’re still an annoying p***k. Still, you must have some standards.”
Dawn shifted Fuyunohi to Natsunoyo to her left hand and let it rest on her left shoulder. Her right hand came up to push her bangs out of her eyes only to have her hair fall right back down.
Somehow Dawn’s voice became colder, “Here’s the thing. If you had told me about the buildings and left it at that; I would have left. No hard feelings. Well maybe a little anger but still, I would have understood. But you have either the gall or the guts to challenge me, even knowing who I am.” Dawn smirk an almost invisible smirk, “And everyone knows that training with a partner is much better than training alone.” Dawn acted like she had just come to a conclusion, “Tell you what: tell me who you are and, we’ll see who’s better.” ╭━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━xx

"You know, I know you’re dangerous. And I know that even though I don’t know who you are, you must have some kind of power, but... you sent the boy away. I think I like you. Don’t get me wrong, you’re still an annoying p***k. Still, you must have some standards,” Dawn said sharply. Enryo winced jokingly, as if the words had actually caused him pain.
'Oh, so I'm a p***k, am I?' he fumed. Shiranui burst out laughing.
"You absolutely, undeniably, unequivocally had that coming," he quipped. Enryo snarled back at him in response, stifling the spirit.
'You, shut up. No one asked you. I'm trying to pay attention,' he barked. Shiranui chuckled, but fell silent all the same.
"Here’s the thing. If you had told me about the buildings and left it at that; I would have left. No hard feelings. Well maybe a little angry, but still, I would have understood. But you have either the gall or the guts to challenge me, even knowing who I am... and everyone knows that training with a partner is much better than training alone. Tell you what: tell me who you are and, we’ll see who’s better,” she finished. Enryo yawned.
"'The boy' is named Yuè, and he's my kid brother. Of course I'm gonna make sure he keeps out of trouble. I'm Sugawara Enryo, third seat of the Thirteenth Division, Field Test Director and Chief of the Blitzkrieg Operations Squad. Pleased to meet you," he said warmly. He folded his arms across his toned chest and heaved a deep sigh. "Not quite sure what I've done to make ya hate me so much right from the get-go, but apparently I did a good job of whatever it was."
"Because your track record thus far with the fairer sex has been so flawless, Enryo. Hate to see it ruined so easily," Shiranui chimed in. He could taste the sarcasm.
'I hate you. Please be quiet.'
He cleared his throat and reached for the handle on his fireworks cannon, lifting the object up onto his left shoulder so that it might cover up the twisted scar there that marred his skin - evidence of when he perhaps wasn't so skilled at his trade.
"At any rate... it seems as though you and I might actually be a fair match for one another. If we go by ranks, that is. If memory serves me, members of Squad Ten all have... two Zanpakutō? Lucky. How do you manage it, huh? Balancing the two of them? I can't even get along with my one. "
He shot a baleful look down at the white-sheathed blade that hung limply from his waist. How he hated the thing. Against an opponent with two different Zanpakutō, it looked like he might have gotten himself in over his head. But that didn't matter - it was just training anyway, right? Just practise. No stakes, aside from maybe some bragging rights against some girl from another squad that he likely wouldn't see again for another few months.
"Anyway, enough with the idle chatter. While you may have left on your own without a fight had I just asked, we both have equal rights to be here, and we have no way of knowing who was here first. So it seems reasonable to me that the only way to resolve this would be through a little friendly competition. That's all. It's more fun that way, anyway. How about... whoever can knock the other person out cold first, wins. Cool? Hell, I'll even let you make the first move - after all, I did almost blow you up earlier."

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━╯xx★xx╰━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ [ location: xRukon Forestxxxxmood: x2 of 2: Detached Coldnessxxxxcompany: xThird seat Sugawara Enryo ]
[ stamina: xFreshxxxxhealth: xFullxxxxshikai status: xSealed ] ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━╮xx★xx╭━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ xxxxxxxxxxxxxxw i n t e r ,xxxs u m m e r
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxm o o nxxxa n dxxxs u n xx━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━╯ Dawn considered the young man as he honored her request, “The boy is named Yuè, and he's my kid brother. Of course I'm gonna make sure he keeps out of trouble. I'm Sugawara Enryo, third seat of the Thirteenth Division, Field Test Director and Chief of the Blitzkrieg Operations Squad. Pleased to meet you.”
Dawn considered what she knew about Squad 13. It wasn’t much. Dawn knew that Squad 13 was Armory & Engineering. So it was likely that this Enryo fit right end. Dawn considered something else; he was a Third seat. Dawn knew that theoretically that made the two of them equals.
“He’s out of balance. I can sense it.”
“We’re out of balance too. It’s not that big a deal.”
“Honestly, what part of shut up do you two not understand?”
“Oh come on Dawn. We just want to help.”
“That’s right.”
“Fine I forgive you. Now shut up!”
“Right!”
When Dawn didn’t respond Third seat Sugawara continued, “Not quite sure what I've done to make ya hate me so much right from the get-go, but apparently I did a good job of whatever it was.”
Dawn was cold and detached. Apparently he didn’t listen. Dawn could recall saying she liked him. Dawn switched from rubbing her scars to scratching at them. 400 years and they still burned. Dawn noticed the young man trying to hide his scar. Dawn figured it must have been a fireworks accident.
Third seat Sugawara was not letting her get a word in but that was alright; Dawn only spoke when she needed to, “At any rate... it seems as though you and I might actually be a fair match for one another. If we go by ranks, that is. If memory serves me, members of Squad Ten all have... two Zanpakutō? Lucky. How do you manage it, huh? Balancing the two of them? I can't even get along with my one.”
Dawn scowled at that. That was a direct barb that hit home. Dawn knew that she was odd. Fuyonohi to Natsunoyo split when Shi Kai was activated. Before that it was a single katana. Dawn had been asked about that more times then she could count.
Dawn’s cool was about to break so she interjected, “Third seat Sugawara, You obviously don’t pay attention. I can recall saying that I liked you. However your whole air screams ‘Don’t trust me.’ You shouldn’t take that personally. In my death I have trusted only three people completely. One is dead. And the other two don’t know when to shut up.”
“Hey! We’ve been quiet!”
"Shut up Natsunoyo!”
Dawn ignored her Zanpakutō, " “As for my Zanpakutō; balance is the perfect word.”
Dawn shifted into a new position. She lowered her center of gravity and slid her left foot back. She held Fuyunohi to Natsunoyo with both her hands; perpendicular to her. Dawn could see the spires of ice grow in her mind. However there were several weak spots in the ice field; the lava would burst though soon.
" “And for the battle; I thank you.”
Dawn didn’t waste any more words. She took the offered first move. She leapt forward while swinging. She was aiming for Third seat Sugawara’s right shoulder. The left shoulder was currently blocked by the fireworks cannon.
“Yes! Kill him!”
"It’s just a sparring session. No one’s going to die.”
“Accidents can happen. They happen all the time.”
“Not this time. This time we play by the rules.” ╭━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━xx

"And for the battle, I thank you."
She wasted no time, throwing herself headlong into a vicious leap and slice. Enryo almost didn't have time to react.
Almost.
He spun his body around, allowing the heavy cannon on his left shoulder to take the blow in his place. Fuyunohi to Natsunoyo bit into the dense wood of the cannon instead of the soft flesh of his shoulder, coming to a stop only when the blade connected with the iron lining of the barrel. Enryo whistled in amazement.
"Whew, if you'd hit me with that, you'dve taken my arm off. You Sqaud Ten people really don't half-a** anything, do you?" he quipped. He allowed the cannon to drop from his shoulder to the ground, bringing Dawn's sword, and hands, down with it. He took advantage of the momentary distraction to put some distance between them with a quick shunpō, landing nimbly on a nearby rooftop.
"I can feel the bloodlust emanating from your weapon from all the way over here. Seems like your sword's spirit really wants me dead. Well, if you're going to play this so seriously, I guess I'll have to, as well." His hands drifted to his sword. "So sing for me, Shiranui."
Drawing his Zanpakutō from its scabbard revealed the cloak of brilliant bluish-white flames from which it drew its name. Shiranui, the unknown fire of Kyushu. He smirked.
"Not bad, eh? Say hello to Tōjin Shiranui," he began. "But then, you can't really get a good look from all the way down there, no? Ha!"
With a agile leap, he dropped down off of the roof and began dashing towards Dawn. He aimed a quick slash for her hands - if he could make her drop her Zanpakutō early, before she released its Shikai, he might stand a chance in close combat. It made the most sense, since he had no idea what her Zanpakutō - no, Zanpakutōs - were capable of. He'd almost forgotten; Squad Ten specialized in dual-wielding Zanpakutō. He had twice as much to deal with.
Not that close combat was all he had going for him. But he'd save those surprises for later. No sense showing your opponent your hand this early in the game. All the same, he began quietly murmuring an incantation under his breath as he ran forward.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━╯xx★xx╰━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ [ location: xSeireitei Proper - Testing Groundsxxxxmood: x2 of 2: Detached Coldnessxxxxcompany: xEnryo Sugawara ]

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxm o o nxxxa n dxxxs u n xx━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━╯ Dawn cursed as her blade hit the firework cannon. Enryo dropped it and jumped away. Dawn fell into a crouch as the weight of the cannon dragged her with it. Dawn cursed again as she yanked it out. Dawn spun around to face Enryo.
He said something about taking his arm off. Well duh. That was the point. Dawn didn’t know about Tenth but, she never did anything halfway. Then he said something about her Zanpakutō’s bloodlust.
“He’s right. I want to kill him.”
“You need to calm down, Natsunoyo. He isn’t cartel and he isn’t a cartel wannabe punk. We don’t know what he is capable. If you don’t calm down Fuyonohi and I won’t be able to think.”
Please calm down brother.”
“I didn’t think of that. Sorry.”
“It’s okay.”
Dawn watched as Enryo released his Shi Kai. Dawn ran the word Shiranui though her mind. The meaning was “unknown fire”. Dawn thought it might have been a myth or legend but she couldn’t remember which one. To be honest she was more concerned about the blue-white fire that cloaked the blade.
“Fire type. That’s not good.”
“Why? We have fire too?”
“Fire is dangerous. You should know better than to underestimate it.”
You have a point.
Enryo leapt off of the roof he was standing on and aimed for Dawn’s hands. She recognized the technique. He was trying to cut her hands so she wouldn’t be able to hold a weapon.
Dawn leapt away and considered her options. He knew that she was a member of Squad 10 so, he knew that she had two Zanpakutōs. Right now he only saw the one katana and, was looking to end this battle as quickly as possible. He didn’t want to give her time to release her Zanpakutō.
Dawn was sure she wanted to do that either. The whole field was littered in fireworks and heat and fireworks didn’t mix. Still her opponent had the advantage. She decided to compromise. She would release her Zanpakutō but not use her techniques. Maybe she could convince him that it was a melee-type Zanpakutō.
Enryo started to run towards her. If Dawn wanted to release her Zanpakutō she needed to do it now.
Dawn started to stretch her hands apart, "Burn the Ice and Freeze the Fire., Fuyunohi to Natsunoyo!”
The double helix of red ice and blue fire encompassed her blade and vanished as she grabbed hold of the two hilts of her twin katanas. Dawn was just in time to react to Enryo’s attack. She used Shunpo to flash away. ╭━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━xx

He swung hard, but Shiranui grabbed nothing but the cool night air. Now falling forward at an alarming rate, Enryo passed his sword to his left hand, then used his now-free dominant hand to launch himself off of the ground and right himself. He jumped up high into the sky and stood motionless in midair, surveying his opponent's newly-revealed abilities.
'Burn the ice... and freeze the fire... Fuyunohi to Natsunoyo... Winter Day and Summer Night? So, one is fire and the other is ice. Of course it had to be a real Fire-type. Of course it did.'
He passed Shiranui back into his right hand and pointed it down at Dawn, like one might aim a gun. He shouted the rest of the incantation he'd started before his failed dive.
"Truth and temperance, upon this sinless wall of dreams unleash but slightly the wrath of your claws! Hadō Thirty-Three: Sōkatsui!"
The blue-white "inferno" that Shiranui bathed in flared, then fired the concentrated Kidō blast along the blade, off of the tip, and directly at Dawn.
"She'll dodge it, you fool. She has eyes. And legs. You broadcasted your attack too obviously. That kind of brute-force tactic might work on a recruit or a lesser-ranked soldier, but she's Third Seat like you," Shiranui chided. Enryo smirked.
'Would you just watch? Have a little faith,' he sighed. Shiranui shook his head.
"The day you stop being an inept moron, maybe I'll consider having faith in you. Until that day comes, or until the day I can fight without you, you're on your own."
'You're a sword. Good luck with that last one.'
"Shiranugitsunebi!" he called. Enryo swung Shiranui in a wide arc, the white shide on its handle trailing behind it. The flames extinguished themselves from the blade, and reappeared as dozens of small fireballs, floating motionless in the air around him.
And now, he waited to see what would happen.

“Truth and temperance, upon this sinless wall of dreams unleash but slightly the wrath of your claws! Hadō Thirty-Three: Sōkatsui!”
“Kidō! I hate Kidō.”
“There are few things we agree on sister. That is one of them.”
“Kidō is one of the arcane arts. We need it for balance. You both know that.”
Dawn flashed away. What was Enryo planning? He had to know that it wouldn’t work. He was trying to outsmart her. The problem was that Dawn didn’t know if it would work. She didn’t know the first thing about him and, who knew what stories he had heard about her.
Dawn was ready to push off of her toes incase Enryo tried something. Which he did. He spun his sword around and the flames that covered his sword turned in to dozens of small fireballs.
“Is he insane? Does he not see the fireworks?”
“He is a pyromaniac.”
“Then we’ll have to beat him to the punch.”
Dawn pointed her left fist at Enryo, “Hadō Thirty-One: Shakkahō!”
At the very last moment Dawn shifted her aim from her fellow Third seat to a box of fireworks midway between them. Dawn didn’t wait to see if the spell made contact before leaping into the air and landing on a roof.
She looked down to consider the scene below. She felt a slight twinge of guilt for destroying all of Enryo’s hard work. Then it passed; this was battle. Besides it was a pair of fireworks that had almost killed her. ROLEPLAY POST ENDS HERE! ╭━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━xx

"Hadō Thirty-One: Shakkahō!" Dawn shouted. Her aim drifted... towards his cherry bombs.
'Aw, hell no.'
A quick flash step brought Enryo in between the incoming Shakkahō and his precious fireworks; arms crossed in front of him, the Kidō connected full-on and crashed into his chest, sending Enryo flying backwards. He hit the ground hard and skidded for a few feet on his back, eventually landing, singed, but otherwise alright, in his pile of mortars.
"You really are daft, aren't you? If she'd used the incantation on that, you would have blown up along with your stupid firecrackers!"
'Hehe... but she didn't. Which is why I'm okay right now, ' he chuckled.
"You're so... reckless!" Shiranui barked. Enryo laughed.
'Aw, are you worried about me? I didn't know you cared so much,' he teased.
"If you're dead, I'm dead, you fool! Of course I care!" the spirit snapped. Enryo smirked, picking himself up out of the dust and brushing himself off.
"Not bad, Dawn, not bad. But you made a critical mistake," he chided, vicegripping Shiranui's handle. "There's two things in this world that you don't mess with in my presence. My brother, and my work. Guess which line you just crossed."
A second, quicker flash step put him right up in close quarters with her - a stark contrast to the way he'd been playing the rest of the match thus far. His Shiranugitsunebi, which had remained motionless around him like an aura, dove in as well, threatening to ignite both Dawn and Enryo. With Shiranugitsunebi as a distraction, he took hold of her wrist.
"Hadō Number Twelve: Fushibi."

Hadō Number Twelve: Fushibi."
“Damn!”
Dawn cursed as she swung her free sword towards Enryo’s face. With a tug she broke away. Dawn landed in the middle of the fireworks and flipped to the edge of the field. Dawn gave her head a shake; the Kidō had almost worked. Dawn pulled away just as the explosions started.
Dawn forced herself to think than explode. The blue-white fire hadn’t done anything. At least Dawn didn’t think it did. Discreetly Dawn checked her skin. Just because the fire hadn’t burned her didn’t mean it wasn’t corrosive or something.
“I think it’s harmless.”
Natsunoyo burst out in to hysterical laughter, “It’s harmless! Harmless fire! I’ve never heard of anything so useless!”
Now that that problem had been solved Dawn considered what Enryo had said. He was yelling about crossing lines. Obviously he had no idea about how Dawn crossed lines. She didn’t; she broke them. All he had done was give her another target.
Dawn finally let the lava break though the ice. She was done analysis. It was time to see how he handled paradoxes.
“I shouldn’t mess with your fireworks. All you’ve done is give me more targets.” Dawn swung out Natsunoyo, “Moeru Kōri!”
Dawn watched as the red ice soared out in an arc towards the fireworks. She fully expected Enryo to block the attack. The question was how. Dawn took advantage of the chaos to dart to a new location. Staying still in battle was a rookie mistake.

where did you g o? xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxas days go byxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxthe night's on fire
'Bingo.'
She'd gone for the fireworks again. It looked like an ice attack, but it was red. And Enryo figured that freezing the fireworks would be about the stupidest thing you could do with 'em - short of discharging them, of course. What good are frozen fireworks? No good, that's what. So that red ice had to ignite things it touched. It made perfectly good sense to him. She'd re-positioned herself as her ice flew through the air towards his fireworks. He'd taken the first hit for them - why not a second? Contrary to Shiranui's belief though, Enryo was decidedly not an idiot - the only reason he'd taken the Shakkahō was because he realized it would have little effect, being without incantation. And he didn't get the impression that Dawn was a Kidō expert like himself.
This time would be different. If she wanted a big boom, she'd get one. He'd see to that. Riiight up close and personal.
He'd always ignited his fireworks with Kidō, and Kidō was essentially concentrated, focused Reiatsu, right? Just like a Kidō-type Zanpakutō, like Shiranui. Or Fuyunohi to Natsunoyo, for that matter. He could calculate roughly how many seconds it would take for them to explode once they were ignited. He'd made them himself, after all.
One and a half, he figured. That'd be enough.
He flash-stepped away, lining up himself, his fireworks, and Dawn's new position in an instant. The red ice consumed his fireworks, and to his delight, they began to ignite. He raised his hands, and with a wicked grin, called out a Kidō.
"Hadō Number One: Shō!"
The Kidō, designed for blasting targets away from the caster without doing damage, impacted the pile of fireworks just as they were caught in Fuyunohi to Natsunoyo's blazing ice. Now ignited and live, the mortars flew through the air in a scatter-shot formation, like the pellets from a shotgun blast. Except ready to explode in less than a second. And all of them heading for Dawn. He felt a pang of guilt.
'I'm faster than she is, and I'm not sure I could get out of this one unscathed. Did I go overboard?' he thought. Shiranui snickered.
"She's tried to kill you. Several times, in fact. I wouldn't beat yourself up over it if I were you," he replied flatly.
The blue-white wreath of flames returned to Shiranui's blade, having recovered from Shiranugitsunebi. Hiding in the smoke of the explosions, Enryo prepped another Kidō. Quietly, he spoke its name under his breath.
"Bakudō Number Twenty-Six: Kyokko."
The air around him shimmered for a moment, and then he vanished from sight entirely. Smothering his spiritual pressure, he crouched on the ground, motionless, and waited for the smoke to clear so that he might see the results of his handiwork.
He wasn't the Seireitei's pyrotechnics expert for nothing.
