Kage Kurai: Yeah, amnesia is mysterious
Chapter 3: Training Time
Aco's POV
"Okay. you've had enough time to recover Yujin. Lets test your power out now." The boy nodded his head, slowly following me into the squad three training grounds.
A week has passed ever since he arrived. The captain of squad twelve said that it didn't seem like he had amnesia, but Yujin said he couldn't remember. So, we did one of those liar testings and he wasn't lying. So, I was put with the job of watching him, until something triggered in his mind. The only thing he says he remembers is fighting. Today is testing time for him!
"Okay Yujin, take out your zanpakuto and we can get started." We stood across from each other. Both of our weapons drawn and we faced each other in a basic stance. "Go!" I yelled, flash stepping in front of him. He reacted quickly by putting his weapon up to block. He lifted his foot, kicking hard at me, but I had blocked it with my hand. He growled, jumping back and rushing at me the minute his foot hit the ground, dashing at me quickly. He came at me with an amazing pace, clashing swords with me with a brutal slash. It almost made me lose my grip on Odoru.
I released one of my hands from my sword, pointing my palm at him. "Hado number 1: Sho!" A blue blast fired from my hand, disarming Yuji. His sword flung behind him, the blade landing into the hard earth. He looked back at his weapon, but looked instantly back at me as I slashed my sword at him. He dodged swiftly, barely moving from his position as he dodged. I kept slashing at him, and yet still dodged with barely no movement.
He's only moving about an inch to dodge my weapon. He's barely crouching when he ducks under my sword too. I smirked, jumping back and letting Yujin retrieve his weapon from the ground. So, he only moves barely to save stamina. Smart, that means he might be saving his stamina to fight longer or to unleash so powerful attacks. That last charge at me was brutal. He might prove to be very strong.
When Yujin picked up his weapon, I flash stepped in front of him. I need to test his speed, reaction time, reiatsu, and zanpakuto ability. So far he's proved to have a lot of strength. Yujin was gone in a flash, avoiding my weapon's attack. His reiatsu quickly reappeared behind me. I turned sharply, our weapons parrying off each other. Sparks flew from the collided metal. I jumped away from Yujin, dodging a hit as his weapon smashed into the ground. I landed a couple feet away from him, standing up straight.
"Yujin, release your zanpakuto. I want to see what it is!" I shouted to him. He looked down at his feet in doubt, but his eyes quickly changed into sternness. "O-okay." Yujin raised his weapon in front of him, the tip pointing at me. He exhaled, seeming to be unsure of what to do. "Shatter the moon and the heavens above, Boshoku(Twilight Scene.)"
Dark purple reiatsu formed over his weapon, it looked like mist. He lowered his sword, so it pointed to the ground. He moved his hand further down to where it looked like he grasped the blade of his weapon. The dark, purple, mist suddenly exploded, releasing a dark shiver down my spine. I gasped in surprise seeing his weapon.
It was a scythe. That handle was tan color, but had black colored spirals on it. The blade itself was oddly curved, almost into a circle, with other tips of the blade sticking out. What caught my eyes were the white pieces that looked like glitter. It was all over the blade. "Impressive," I commented, smiling. Yujin blushed, shuffling his feet awkwardly in the dirt and looking down at the ground. "R-really? I think it's really girly if you ask me."
I laughed, cheering up the mood. "It's not that bad. Remember too, we aren't done!" I flash stepped, appearing in front of him. He did a side flip, avoiding my attack as he landed back on the ground. "Bāsuto!" He cried, lifting his zanpakuto up high. The sparkles or glitter came off rushing at me. Once they were a foot from me they exploded. I gasped, seeing how much these things could do damage. Some hit my arm, burning it slightly and ripping my haori. "Bakudo number 81: Danku!" The visible shield appeared, guarding me from the explosions.
From the explosions, dust had formed a cloud around me. I couldn't see a thing. "Dang that was strong." I said, coughing from all that dust. "Never knew a zanpakuto could explode stuff like that."
"Believe it then!" My bakudo shattered as Yujin appeared, breaking through it. I lifted my sword up, blocking his odd scythe. He pushed me back, making me start to lose my footing.
"Come on nee-chan you can do better than this!" I flinched looking up. The dust had cleared away and far away from us stood, Toshiro and Hunter. "Yeah! Listen to your brother! This is training and your going to let yourself lose!" Hunter mocked, grinning slyly. I scowled, but knew what they were saying was true. I guess I am letting myself lose right now.
"Hado number 1: Sho!" I enchanted. The blue kido came from my palm, disarming Yujin again. I smiled, raising my hand again, but pointed my index and middle finger. "Bakudo number 4: Hainwa!" The yellow rope snaked out of my fingers and wrapped around Yujin. He gasped as the kido wrapped around him, making him fall onto the ground.
"I win," I grinned. I broke the bakudo setting him free. I stuck out my hand, letting him grab it as I helped him up. "I did so bad." He grumbled, some dark aura surrounding him, which kinda scared me. "No you didn't, you did just fine." The dark aura was still surrounding him.
"Cheer up, you did fine." Hunter said, approaching us along with my brother. I looked at my brother smiling. His look had total changed. Hair was different from before, more up than in his face now. To his wardrobe he now wore a dark green scarf, the color of his division. He didn't seem to have grown in height. He approached Yujin, nodding his head. That cheered Yujin up a bit. He smiled, bowing his head. "Thank you." He turned around, running over to his zanpakuto. He picked up the scythe as it returned to normal. "Thank you Boshoku." He sheathed his blade and came back over to us. "What are we doing now?" Yujin asked. I sheathed my own sword, wondering what we should do.
"Lets go get lunch!" Hunter declared, pumping his fist. I nodded my head and Yujin smiled at the thought. "You come too Shiro-chan!" I said, hugging my little brother, lovingly. He growled, "Let go of me. Do you know how old we are now!?" I laughed, hugging him tighter. "Oh that doesn't matter as long as you look like this." He started yelling at me in protest. Hunter started to laugh, while Yujin just grinned, giggling quietly.
"Fine, I'll go just stop it!" I smiled, letting go of him.
