They came at each other full force, blades clashing. They jumped away from each other, both with insane grins on their faces. They rushed each other again, slashing and blocking. Hoshi jumped suddenly and slashed the air around Kenpachi's head. The other shinigami looked at her questioningly, as she landed on the other side, her arm raised up. Then a small bell fell into her hand. "That's one." She smiled smugly. "Let's see if I can get the rest."
Kenpachi glared at her darkly as she tied the bell to her own hair quickly. "Don't mess with my hair, kid."
Hoshi smirked, and used a flash-steep cutting off another bell, and tying it into her longish black hair. "Let's see you try and get them back, Captain."
Hoshi and Kenpachi smiled dangerously. "You don't know what you're getting into, kid."
They exchanged glares and were at it again. Zaraki cut Hoshi, and Hoshi cut Zaraki in return, both laughing and smiling wickedly. Kenpachi brought his zanpakuto down hard on Hoshi, she blocked above her head, going down into the splits. Without missing a beat Hoshi kicked Kenpachi's legs from under him. Jumping back up Hoshi tried to stomp on Kenpachi's throat but he stopped her with his hand. Kenpachi stood, throwing Hoshi, down hard against the ground. Hoshi reached around with her sword trying to cut his face, but not only did she cut him, she also cut off his eye-patch. Kenpachi immediately let go of Hoshi's foot.
Hoshi suddenly felt immense spiritual pressure. Her new comrades looked on in shock, fear filled their eyes. For Hoshi, this was exhilarating, she'd never felt anything like this before. "Damn." Hoshi smiled, staggering to her feet. "I'm gonna have ta pull out all the stops. Cry in agony, as you drown in blood! Sing, Aka-Tasogare!"
Her zanpakuto changed in a burst of blood-red light. Her zanpakuto became large and jagged on one side, rings looping around the three holes, (it looks like Cloud's sword, from final fantasy), her spirit ribbon became visible, coiling around her wrist tightly. The black blade was near twice the size of Hoshi herself. Dark red reiatsu flowed around Hoshi like flames, making her look incredibly terrifying. And beautiful, though she was unaware of it. Hoshi smiled darkly, she spun her released zanpakuto like a baton, it made a low hollow noise like the scream of a Hollow. Kenpachi recognized the blood-lust in Hoshi's eyes. Hoshi advanced still spinning her zanpakuto, the noise grew louder.
The other soul reapers had to cover their ears because of the noise, even Kenpachi winced slightly. Hoshi stopped, raising her sword and swiped at Kenpachi. Her blade made contact, leaving a long gash across his chest. But when Hoshi drew back to strike again, Kenpachi stabbed Hoshi in the shoulder. Hoshi faltered, stumbling back, breathing heavily. Hoshi raised her sword again, swinging it at Kenpachi. When he blocked her zanpakuto with his she stumbled back again.
"N-not bad, Ken-chan." Hoshi winced, using her sword to balance herself. "But I'm just getting started."
With that Hoshi stabbed the ground with her zanpakuto. The world around them became black, and bloody red. The others seemed to disappear and only Hoshi and Kenpachi remained. Kenpachi looked around. His eyes widened, he was tied up in black chains, and couldn't move. "Pretty nifty, ne, Ken-chan?" Hoshi winked, lazily swinging her sword around. He noticed that one of the rings on her sword was missing. "Oh, so you've noticed. Take a good look at those chains, Ken-chan…..Don't they look familiar?"
Kenpachi glared at her. "Nice trick Hoshi." Then he swiftly grabbed the chains, and ripped them off.
Hoshi's eyes went wide. "B-but, you shouldn't even be able to move?! Oh well."
They charged each other again. Hoshi jumped over Kenpachi, and slashed his back, getting another bell in the process.
Kenpachi turned, only to see Hoshi stare at her zanpakuto as his blood dripped down the blade. She inhaled deeply, smirking at him from the corner of her eye. She turned to face him, sword raised. "Blood daggers!" Hoshi slashed at the air. When she did, the blood that coated her blade was sent at Kenpachi in a storm of tinny blades made of his own blood. They stuck out of him in jagged patterns. Kenpachi only grinned wolfishly and ran at Hoshi. She wasn't expecting him to still be standing, she was taken off guard. Kenpachi stabbed her again, and this time she went down.
