The kunai, flew past his cheek not hitting it though. Across the field, the bush ruffled. Kenpachi smirked and threw a kunai himself, with a paper bomb attached. It sliced through the leaves and then stuck it's sharp end in the ground. It was silent for a second before it exploded, shooting leaves and twigs in every which way.

"Did you think I would be that easy Ken-kun?" Came a mocking female voice from behind him.

Kenpachi wiped around, his eyes wide, "What the-,"

A female, around the age of 15, crouched upside down a tree branch right behind him. She had ebony black hair held in a pony tail and blood soaked eyes. Her skin was also the color of death as it had been all her life.

Kenpachi gaped, "How the hell!?"

She giggled, again mockingly, "We are shonobi, Kenpachi," she purred, scratching the back of her neck.

"Damn," The boy growled and slid out another kunai, holding it out at her.

Subaru slid one of ninja stealth knifes out and shook it at him, "feisty, boy. There is still some else out there. Remember,"

Kenpachi frowned, "Huh?"

It came fast, like a thunder storm, you could almost sense it but it was never really there.

"Hahhh!!" A female voice gasped as a loud crash and slam sound erupted through the ground. Kenpachi waved his hands around in circles, trying to get his balance back and jump off to escape the crushed rocks underneath him but ended up falling off the branch he was on.

He spun himself so he was falling on his front and did some quick hand signs. He breathed in deeply before breathing ice from his breathe. The ice formed quickly around on the spot underneath him.

Landing on his feet Kenpachi turned back to where the clearing was.

A girl with dark purple hair held in a pony stood there, lifting her fist up.

"So close…Good job Kenpachi!" The girl smiled happily at him.

She gave off no sinister era like the other girl. She, Sumi was just as deadly though.

In a quick motion she swung her arm. "hey!" Ken started but was cut off literally when a blade sliced through his cheek.

He yelped in surprise, his hand flying to his cheek. He took his hand off and looked at it, it was bleeding nicely.

He turned his gaze back to where Sumi was to find her gone. He snapped himself around and looked at the tree the blade enlarged it's self in.

Sumi sat crouched on the side of the tree, her gloved palm holding onto the handle of the scalpel.

"Hidden Shadow Snake hands!"

Kenpachi barely dodged the rain of long snakes and slid over to another tree, "You two have to fight each other too, ya know! It's every man for 'em self!"

Subaru smirked, "Duh,"

Sumi leapt from the tree scalpel in hand and stabbed at Subaru, embedding the blade in her upper arm.

Kenpachi and Sumi's eyes widened, "I-I d-didn't m-mean to h-hit you, Subby-chan!!" Sumi squeaked.

Subaru frowned, "That wasn't very nice, Sumi-chan," She scolded, "not at all,"

She grabbed sumi's hand which was still on the blade and yanked out the blade from her arm.

Blood poured from her arm. The liquid covered the metal scalpel and sumi's fingers.

"My turn," Subaru's voice was sinister. Her hand that was covering the wound came to her mouth. Her tongue seeped through her pink lips and licked the blood from her hand slowly and mockingly.

Kenpachi gulped down the lump of spit that collected in his mouth, 'The things she can do with her tongue,'

Subaru lunged for Sumi, stealth sword in hand, "Let's play a game,"

Sumi dodged under her attack and went under her blade, sweeping at her legs.

Subaru jumped and twirled around, cutting gracefully at Sumi's arm. It cut through the black fabric that covered some of her arm and slicing her skin lightly.

Kenpachi to entranced with the girls fighting didn't notice the other stealth sword that was heading right at his stomach.

"Kenpachi!" Sumi yowled, punching Subaru's side, pushing her away.

"Ice Prison Technique!"

Ice grew from the ground, the sword making a dinging sound as it hit the barrier around him. Kenpachi was standing in a large ice block.

Subaru frowned, "That sucked,"

Kenpachi shifted his hands forming a seal, the ice shattering around him. Sumi and Subaru immediately hide behind a tree, avoiding the ice that flew around their teammate.

Dashing up the tree, Sumi took a look at the 'battle ground.' It was covered in ice, blood and rock.

Her teammate looked up at her finally noticing her. He did quick hand signs before saying, "Destruction Dragon Fierce Tiger!"

From the ice on the ground, it sprung together to form a ice tiger. It leapt at Sumi, roaring fiercely, ice claws unsheathed.

Sumi's eyes widened, adrenaline pumping through her. Chakra formed in her fist.

"ARRRRRR!!!!!" The tiger swiped at her but was met with a chakra filled fist to the face.

Kenpachi easily dodged his own ice. At the same time Sumi lunged at him, "Chakra Scalpel!"

Jamming his foot in the dirt, he swerved over to the side, Sumi's hand hitting his arm.

Ken yowled in pain and gripped his arm, "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!!???"

"I focused chakra in my ringers to make them like blades. They don't make any mark on the flesh that we can see but I sliced your muscle and gave you eternal bleeding," Sumi explained, "Nothing I can't heal of course," She added quickly, seeing Kenpachi flabbergasted expression.

Her teammate groaned, "Great…"

"Demonic Illusion Hell Fire Technique!"

Sumi and Kenpachi froze. Pain engulfed their bodies and they couldn't move. All they could see was fire. It burned their skinned and melted their faces. They yowled out, trying to move but couldn't. The Fire wrapped around their bodies, making their eyes burn and cry from the sizzling on their faces.

Closing their eyes, they prayed it would end soon, the pain, the fire, everything.

It started to fade slowly and both Sumi and Kenpachi opened their eyes slowly to find…
