"Kaiorin Coumetsu... I can see the power surging through you, just like Daomig'rah... That child is going to be strong, possibly around our level when she gets her bankai... If she trained for years on end, she would no doubt...be a scary opponent. Lord Aizen learned of her quick progression in power, when he was in the Soul Society. If she was a pure hollow like Daomig'rah...she would have his strength and mind you...he is not to be underestimated." Barragon muttered in his head, as he secretly tailed Yammy and Kai. "If I can just see how far she's gotten, in power...I could tell how fast she grows." He finished, thinking about Daomig'rah and her.
Kai was racing down a path, trying to find a way out of the castle. Though on her tail end, Yammy was just casually walking. "This is gonna feel so gooood! I haven't fought in such a long time, damn I'm so excited!" The goth shrieked out in glee, narrowed lids and gritted teeth in view. She turned her head over her shoulder, watching the tenth Espada just pace himself after her. She rose a brow, her White open duster coat flailing behind her. "C'MON YAMMY, HURRY IT UP! HAHAHAHA!" She laughed, feeling as if she was going to win the race...even if she didn't know her way around the place.
Allof a sudden, Ulquiorra sonidoed in front of her, nearly making her collide into him. "You are heading the wrong direction, trash... This way..." He muttered, before turning and walking past her. He almost missed it, the one thing he HATES to hear from Kai."Shorty..." He heard her say quietly behind his back, making him stop in mid pace.
He looked at her from over his shoulder, glaring at her like she was the most annoying person alive. Yes...he actually got annoyed, first time for everything I guess. "Hey- if you stop calling me trash, I'll stop calling you shorty! All's fair in this lair, with a touch of my flair!~" She rhymed at the end, grinning from cheek to cheek. He watched her eye him mischievously, then turned his head away to ignore her. "hehehehehe~" She laughed to herself, watching him continue in his walk. She follow behind, with Yammy now in front.
"All's fair in this lair, with a touch of my bursting flair~ Provoke me if you dare, I wouldn't care- not even if you give your biggest glare. All I'll do is chase you down until you fall on your ass and make you scream like a little lass!~" She rhymed to herself, keeping herself amused until her and Yammy were outside. The two in front never bothered to look at her, although they could hear her.
"Are you done...?" He asked, trying so hard not to call her trash. He never turned his head to view her, though knew he was getting a scowl from her.
"Almost... Ehem~" She cleared her throat with her lids shut, slowly opened her mouth to inhale. She began spitting out rhyme after rhyme, not realizing that she was actually rapping.
"Hey Ulquiorra... I think she's bored, maybe that's why she's doing that." Yammy mentioned, with a flat mouth. His irises looked down at the 5'6 man next to him, expecting a reply.
"Perhaps..." Ulquiorra responded, having his green slitted orbs forward.

From afar, three tiny dots exited a doorway that lead into the building. Ulquiorra walked over to the wall, next to the door and stuffed his hands in his pockets. Yammy and Kai both trotted a distance away from the door, completely being surrounded by white sand. The goth looked around, eyes wide and lips partly open. "This... This place... It looks just like that one dream I had... I had a dream about Huco Mundo?!" She yelled in question. Yammy who wasn't too far away but, a good distance, yelled to gain her attention.
"HEY! YA GONNA FIGHT ME, OR WHAT?!" The tenth Espada asked loudly, causing the said punk to snap out of her hidden thoughts and grin real big. She turned to him, her slits slanted and pulled out her Zanpakuto daggers. "Kaiorin... Remember what i've told you! Once you use your shikai, stand still and breath slowly! Concentrate on your breathing, get used to the feel of the power and when you're ready...fight... I'm sure that Espada will understand, if you tell him." Ryu reminded, as her disembodied voice echoed through Kai's mind.
"Mmmmk-..." The goth mentally replied, still keeping that grin of hers. She put one foot forward and kept the other back, banging the ends of her daggers together while her body leaned in. A loud metallic clang resonated and she held her gaze just above the level of her blades. Flaming reiatsu rose high, veins glowed and her orbs grew brighter. "Beat'em to a pulp. Honou Ryu!" She shouted with her strong and deep voice. Fire began to engulf her, spinning around her in the shape of a sphere. Once the blaze dispersed from her frame, the sound of whipping fire rang through the air.
Her coat flailed up with her spiritual pressure, her ponytail following suit and the steam from the molten spikes of her fingerless gloves, sizzled. She stood there, taking the advice Ryu had given and tried it. She breathed in slowly, gradually exhaling right after. She focused on her breaths, nearly taking her three minutes to feel as if she gained control.
Yammy looked at her, raising a brow in the process. Ulquiorra gazed at her action, wondering why she was inhaling and exhaling. "Control...the fire... Feel the heat... Make it yours...and with it, become one..." Ryu whispered in Kai's mind. After a moment more, her spiritual pressure sparked even higher. Yammy felt the sudden change in strength, making him quirk another brow.
She slowly rose her head above her fingerless gloves, eyes narrowed and large grin with teeth bared. She sharply eyed the man before her and took a bit to stare him down. She walked towards him tauntingly, fists clenched tightly, molten spikes sizzling and her piercing gaze meeting Yammy's. He grinned at her new level of power and watched her face her obvious demise...him.
Out of the blue, she vanished and appeared just at his face, preparing to punt him hard. Successfully hitting the man, he got shot a decent distance away yet, catching himself before crashing into the wall behind him. Ulquiorra watched her, slits glued to illuminating orbs. Yammy rumbled under his breath, looking at her with squinted lids. He began punching in her direction, shooting out round cero balls. He heard her laugh and noticed her begin to break dance all over the vast land in front of him, dodging his shots.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" She laughed, enjoying the thrill of dodging his attacks in a dancing manner. Her hair whipped all around with her, her flaming reiatsu coating her hair as well and making her look like a lone flame, spreading herself all over the place. One of his shots nearly took her mid section off, if she hadn't done the splits in mid air. Perfect splits mind you, while holding onto her head and one arm in front.
"WILL YOU SIT SITLL?!" The Espada questioned angrily, shooting his attack even faster now. Time passed and he had picked his pace up, punching out those cero balls ridiculously fast. Alas, she kept dodging them...except for one and that 'one' hit her square in the face! She got sent soaring across the ground, bouncing and scrapping against it.
She laid flat on her back, a mark on her face and shadow over her gaze. A huge smirk grew on her features, feeling the rush again. She brought her legs up, kicked herself up into a standing position and peered at him.
Barragon walked up beside Ulquiorra, choosing to watch the fight. He seen her dash forward, this time...she was a lot faster. Yammy grinned at her again, only to frown after seeing her...Sonido? "WHEN DID SHE LEARN THAT?! I THOUGHT SHE WAS USIGN FLASH STEP!" He questioned mentally, lids wide. As soon as he turned his head to the side, it were as if everything slowed down. The scene went slow, gradually showing Kai preparing her front leg to hit him. The scene picked up its speed, with Kai slamming the bottom of her leg into his head.
This time, he did crash. He got sent a distance away and crushed the wall in, that he flew towards. She landed on her feet, leaned on one foot and rose her head. Her slits looked down at him in his direction, expecting for him to get back up. Right behind her, Yammy sonidoed and swung his fist, aiming to hit the side of her head in return.
She got hit and rag-dolled away from him, her hair flapped and spun as she rolled a ways away. "Don't get all cocky just because ya managed to hit me, 'Princess'!" He yelled, thinking that he finally got through to her. Though he didn't know her that well and had not realized, that he just provoked her.
Kai rammed a fist into the ground, laying on her stomach and slowly risen her frame. The view only shown her madly grinning mouth, due to shade masking her eyes. Her reiatsu still fumed high, not once dieing down. "Hoooohohohohohohohohoooooooh... Now that's what I'm talking about...~" She muttered to herself, finally getting on her two feet. She took off her coat, tossed it aside and revealed her flaming tattoo; Her attractively defined muscles getting exposed. "COME AT ME, HAHAHAHAHAHA!" She screamed out, eyes wider than before. She sonidoed, appeared in front of him with her back to his frame, then grabbed a hold of his clothing. She picked him up and instead of tossing over her frame, she chucked him a few feet away.
Falling on his backside, his weight made a short quake and made Barragon grow astonished at her physical strength. "It looks like her Zanpakuto...gives her nothing but raw physical power... So in other words...sheer durability and muscle. Many would have died by Yammy's hand, when he went to hit her on the side of her head..." The second Espada stated vocally, making Ulquiorra look at the elder from the corner of his peers.
Kai jumped high into the air, pulled a fist back and shouted out her attack. "TANKI-SHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" She screamed out, as she punched in Yammy's direction. Countless fire balls got spat out of her thrusts, hitting the said Espada who laid on the ground. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" She laughed as she fell, rapidly shooting out her spitfire skill.
Yammy had covered himself with his forearms, blocking the fire that got shot. Feeling that it was safe, he peeked out from his arms and noticed how Kai was falling towards him; She had a fist ready to seismic punch him into the surface. He felt something off about her fist coming at him, so he disappeared out of the way and allowed her to crush the ground with her strike.
She did exactly that, chunks of the ground tore upward and made a decent crater beneath her. Yammy watched with a questionable stare, watching the scene shake from the impact. He saw an opening, he disappeared and held her up from behind, only to be headbutted... "AAH! That's cheat'n!" He yelled out, as he let go to rub his forehead. He saw her aim to punch him, thus he caught her fist easily.
She grabbed his fist with her free hand, turned and picked him up once more. She held onto him, then began spinning in place. She got faster and faster, making his weight twirl her instead. "WHAT THE HELL?!" The Espada cursed in surprise, his teeth gritted and lids wide. Once she let go, she tossed him into the air and jumped to meet him up there. She moved her body in certain ways,so she could roll. Her legs bent up against her torso, arms wrapped around her knees and hair flapped wildly.
Yammy went to grab her, once he managed to stop for just a moment in the sky. Though as soon as he reached for her, her heel met his skull and caused him to harshly fall back to the surface.
"THIS IS SO DAMN FUN, HAHAHAHAHAHA!" She shouted as she shifted in mid air, to face the tenth Espada. Just before she got to repeat the spitfire and seismic punch combo, he stood up and angrily shouted, catching her fist in the process; He had burn marks all over him. He gripped onto her fist more, spun half way around and slammed her frame into the ground.
"THAT'S IT, I AIN'T HOLDING BACK ANYMORE!" He barked, shooting out rapid shots of his cero balls. He laughed as he attacked, leaving Kai lay on her back and take each and every hit.
"Ah!- Dammit! I can't move! He's shooting faster then he had before!" She yelled mentally, gritting her teeth and shutting her peers. Every hit she'd take, it'd send her deeper into the ground. As time passed, he had stopped and looked at his work. She was out cold, bruises on her body yet no blood drawn. He smiled victoriously, before chuckling to himself and walking away.
"Kaiorin... You knew he held back, yet you chose to fight anyway. Your arrogance never ceases to surprise me... You knew he could possibly kill you, yet you chose not to care...you wanted the thrill and you got it... But- is that thrill enough...? Will you call it quits, or will you choose to keep being arrogant and fight him? You've gained control over your shikai, by becoming one with its fire... So, I'll ask you this once more... Will you call it quits...or will you choose to keep fighting...?" Ryu's voice echoed through Kai's mind, her see-through body floating above her frame. The beautiful dragon herself, was gracefully flapping her blazing wings and gazing upon her vessel.
Kai's slits held distance, half lidded as well. Her lips were partly open, then closed once she shut her eyes. She smirked, feeling her strength leave her body. It felt like something was holding her down, due to her bruised figure. She was hurting, yet ignored it and decided to answer her Zanpakuto. "I wanna fight...moooore~... Quitting are for those who give up easily, Ryu. I wanna fight... I want to be on equal grounds with that man...so I can...'beat'em to a pulp'!" She mentally replied, making Ryu stare her down and say nothing in return.
"Are you positive...?" The dragon asked, only to have Kai shakily raise a hand, to give her a thumbs up. "Very well... Are you aware...of Bankai...?"
Kai dropped her hand exhaustively, giving her beast of a Zanpakuto a quirked brow. "No... Why...?" She questioned Ryu in her head, only to be given silence once more.
"Bankai is the highest rank in one's Zanpakuto, in which takes years to achieve... It is past the level of shikai and grants more power, than the two previous ranks. If I allow you this, I fear you will lose control... you have had the potential to go bankai for a while, despite your ability to control your shikai... You really would have gone mad, if I had told you before... But now, deeming you have regained yourself in your shikai state, you must learn to control your bankai... It's best to start now, than later... you will never get this chance in the Soul Society. They would restrain you from ever using it, let alone your shikai... Train with it now, while you still have your chance!" She answered strongly, making Kai's eyes widen.
The goth grinned real big, narrowed her gaze and laughed to herself. "Let's do this, Ryu... I wanna get stronger, so I can keep fighting! As I said before, I want to feel the heat of the battle!" She announced in her mind, making the dragon nod and fade out of sight. "Alright then... Just say the word and I shall heed your call!" Ryu shouted, as the scene gradually changed.
Ulquiorra kept his orbs in Kai's direction, not once looking at Yammy. "do you feel that, Ulquiorra...?" Barragon asked, refusing to avert his gaze away from the goth.
"Yes... I feel her reiatsu growing again. Before, she seemed to have more control over her shikai, knowing that...it allowed her to fully grab on to its power better... Now, it appears it has gotten stronger..." He answered the old man, hearing the second Espada grumble in thought.
"Best to take her in then, she is in no condition to keep fighting..." Barragon stated, now moving his irises over to the fourth Espada.
Ulquiorra moved forward, hands still in his pockets. Passing Yammy, he over heard him talking to himself. Something about how annoying she was, tossing him all over the place. He and yammy stopped, hearing Kai's laughter fill the air. "Where do you think...you're going...Yaaaammmyyyyyyy...?~" The punk's disembodied voice asked darkly.
