For those who are wondering where the hell the drama is, I'm setting Sai up before the real story begins.
Disclaimer: Man I hate doing this every chap...Bleach belongs to Kubo Tite, not me. All OCs and the concept of district seven, Soryuju, however, are my own.
"Tamaki, are you sure this is gonna work?"
"Of course Sai! That's why we're outside; so you don't blow my house ta bits!"
Sai sighed, "If you say so…" He raised Kuronawa, pointed it at the sky, and attempted to recite the incantation from memory. "False god Thanatos that bears witness to all souls of the land, strike down those who thine eyes find unworthy and banish them from the earth; Hado number Four! Byakurai!"
The sword was covered in lightning, if only for a second. Then the bolt shot out, arching toward the ground before dissipating. Sai tried again, only to achieve the same result.
Tamaki shook his head, "No, no, NO! It's not supposed ta do that! It's supposed ta go straight Sai!"
"Shut up." Sai brandished Kuronawa, then pointed it at Tamaki. "You were a lowly samurai; no spiritual pressure. How the hell do you know all this? For that matter, how the hell did you get it right?"
"You're in no position ta ask me any questions! No do what yer sensei says and do that over until ya get that right!"
"BYAKURAI!"
Tamaki barely had enough time to dodge.
The end of the day; Tamaki and Sai are sitting on Tamaki's roof. At least, Sai is. Tamaki's too drunk to climb, so he's leaning in a chair on the ground floor.
"…I still can't believe you got them right."
Tamaki is offended, "Hey! Soul Reapers come here all the time; one of the restaurants 'round here is really good!"
"Okay, then explain to me why I haven't heard of it."
"So, Sai, what'd yer sensei teach ya today?"
"Don't go changing the subject on me!"
Tamaki tried to look serious, quite a feat considering he was still hung over from the day before, "What did yer sensei teach ya today?"
Sai closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.
"SAI!!"
"Behold the difference between our power, you fool; now restrain yourself and stay out of my way. Bakudo number one; Sai."
Tamaki felt a curious tugging sensation, then fell out of his chair, hands behind his back. "Hey…" Ooh, Tamaki had an epiphany. "You've got the same name as a Kido, Sai."
"No."
"Huh?"
"The meaning of the Bakudo 'Sai' is 'Restrain', the meaning of my name is 'Companion.'"
"And 'Ketsuraku'?"
"'Lost.'"
"'Lost Companion,' huh…And what was the name of the pretty girl that's got the other half of that amule-"
"Disintegrate, you black dog of Rondanini. Look upon youirself with horror and claw out your own throat. Bakudo number Nine, Geki."
A red light surrounded Tamaki, leaving him paralyzed. "No more probing questions from you. I'm going to sleep."
ON THE ROOF!?
"Yes, Tamaki. On the roof."
HE CAN READ MAH FRIGGIN' MIND NOW!?
"No. You're just insanely predictable when your drunk."
YOU'RE INSANE, DAMMIT!
Hooray for insane protagonists! (Even though Sai isn't really one of them)
Yes, I realize that those aren't the real incantations for the kido, but they were the best I could come up with given the circumstances. I mean, really, there's no incantation ever mentioned for Bakudo number One and Hado number Four!
