Chapter 9: Practice makes perfect part 2
Continuing from the Squad 10 barracks
After Rangiku left Toshiro's office, Hyorinmaru appeared in front of Toshiro.
Toshiro gave a shocked look and said, "Hyorinmaru what are you doing here?"
Hyorinmaru said, "Master something is not correct with Tobiume and your girlfriend!"
Toshiro blushed and said, "She is not my girlfriend and what happen to both of them anyway?"
Hyorinmaru said, "Tobiume seems to have a stronger reiastu surrounding her and your girlfriend seems to be leaking small amount of elemental reiatsu."
Toshiro said, "So what are you trying to tell me?"
Hyorinmaru said, "I suspect that your girlfriend has achieved bankai."
Toshiro laughed and said that it was not possible for him not to notice if she was practicing for bankai.
Hyorinmaru sighed and disappeared.
Meanwhile at the burnt secret underground training ground
After drawing out his sword, Shinji said, "Collapse Sakanade!"
All of a sudden, the pommel of his zanpakuto became a large ring and the blade became straight and slim with the tip ending in a slanted razor-like edge plus five holes along the sword's length.
It started to rotate around his hand on its own and a pink mist appeared and a pleasant aroma was smelled.
Shinji said, "Go ahead Momo, try to attack me!"
Momo said, "Captain Hirako, are you sure?"
Shinji said, "Yes go on!"
When Momo tried to attack Shinji, she realised that all her actions were inverted.
Shinji said, "Surprised that you all of your actions are inverted?"
Momo said, "Yes, is it your zanpakuto ability?"
Shinji said, "Yes, it is."
Momo raised her left arm forward and outstretched with her right hand supporting the left arm. She opened her left palm facing flat at the Shinji.
She said, "Hado no. 88: Hiryu Gekizoku Shinten Raiho!"
All of a sudden, a gigantic beam of electrical and spiritual energy in pink was released from her palm.
A small portion of Shinji's captain's haori was burnt off.
Shinji said, "Not bad but it seems that you would have to try harder."
Momo said, "Thank you."
As Momo tried the same attack again, she suddenly found a small cut on her right shoulder.
Shinji said, "Have you forgotten that when I was moving in front of you, I was actually moving from the back as I created an inverted world for you with everything inverted."
Momo use her pointed her left index and middle finger at one group of remaining trees and said, "Hado No.73: Soren Sokatsui!"
Two pink highly concentrated bursts of spiritual energy came out of her fingers and followed Shinji everywhere until he said, "Bakudo No.81: Danku!"
An energy shield came out and stopped the attack.
Shinji moved backwards to the spot Momo was.
He realised that he was stuck.
Momo said, "Captain Hirako, I know that I would be confuse so I created an invisible kido net to trap you and when you move around due to Soren Sokatsui chasing after you, you decided to block it and move away and you were caught even though you were not in front of me."
Shinji said, "That was impressive of you but I am not surrendering as I have other tricks up my sleeve."
Momo ignited the kido net with a fireball.
The kido net exploded and Shinji was nowhere to be found.
All of a sudden Momo felt another few cuts all around her body and she was moaning in pain.
Shinji reappeared and said, "That was another close shot."
Momo said, "Bakudo No.62: Hyapporankan!"
A pink energy rod was formed and when it was thrown to Shinji, it multiplied by a lot.
Momo softly said, "Bakudo No.63: Sajo Sabaku!"
A pink chained appeared and curved around thin air and suddenly Shinji appeared tied around the kido, "I guess I have no choice!"
Before the chain could tie him completely, he flashed his hand over his face and his hollow mask appeared.
He easily broke through the chain.
Momo fled backwards, at the same time she noticed that his zanpakuto returned back to its original shape.
Shinji gathered energy and fired a cero at Momo.
Momo swung her sword at Shinji and said, "Eien no fushichÅ, hi!"
As Momo swung her sword, a huge fire phoenix was created by the fire and was heading towards Shinji.
Shinji used his cero at full blast but couldn't stop it.
He said, "Shit, this is bad!"
Momo could not stop it as she was new to bankai.
All of a sudden, somebody said, "Bushogoma!"
A spinning circle of wind came into contact with the huge fire phoenix with tornado-like intensity.
After the wind died down the fire phoenix disappeared.
The person who used the skilled said, "Isn't that skill a bit too dangerous for a sparing match?"
He sighed and said, "Shinji what about you take a break for now as you are worn out let me try training Momo now."
Shinji said, "Ok, very well then."
Author's note
Eien no fushichÅ, hi means eternal phoenix fire
