Chapter 33- Basics and Mastery (Enishi)
Author's Note: I started writing this chapter, and then suddenly saw that Enishi's fights are never long... So, sorry Kanda, ya only get one chapter to fight until next arc. --; However! Enjoy!

Sparks crackled and blood splattered on the ground while the area was covered in slash marks.

Enishi smirked as he pushed his glasses up some while staring down at Kanda.

"What's wrong? Done without landing a single hit on me?" Enishi asked, and Kanda gripped Mugen before quickly slashing down at Enishi.

Enishi's smirk widened as he blocked Mugen's blade with his tachi's hilt and then grinned as he stared at Kanda.

Watōjutsu! Kaishi Tōsei!

Enishi spun around and Kanda gritted his teeth as Enishi's tachi impaled his left shoulder.

Enishi jumped back a little as Kanda tried to slash him, but Kanda missed as Enishi smirked calmly.

"Come on, I was told you'd be strong. Show me." Enishi said before raising his sword and he placed his palm on the blade.

Watōjutsu! Shōha Tōsei!

Enishi's palm pushed the blade forward, doubling the force of the swing as the blade neared Kanda.

Enishi's tachi cut into the ground as Kanda jumped and readied Mugen to slash at Enishi.

Enishi merely smirked before putting his foot on the tachi's hilt, and Kanda flinched as Enishi wrapped the cord from the hilt around his hand and jumped towards Kanda.

Watōjutsu! Chōten Tōsei!

Kanda barely blocked as Enishi grinned before slamming Kanda to the ground.

"Kaichu: Ichigen!" Kanda shouted from where he stood on the ground, and he swung Mugen to launch the insects at Enishi.

Enishi pushed his glasses up again with a grin.

Watōjutsu! Shikkū Tōsei!

Kanda's eyes widened as Enishi suddenly took another leap in mid-air to the side and dodged the insects.

"Are you done?" Enishi asked as his smirk disappeared and he slashed down at Kanda.

Blood hit the ground as the left side of Kanda's chest had a long cut in it.

Enishi rested his tachi on his shoulder as Kanda panted heavily while using Mugen to keep him from falling down.

"This is boring me. Why don't you unleash that two sword attack of yours?" Enishi asked with his smirk returning, and Kanda perked up at that.

"How do you know about that?" He asked, and Enishi grinned coolly.

"How could I not? I was told all about you all from Gin. Turns out he gave you far too much credit." Enishi stated as he started to twirl his tachi around some more.

Kanda gave his cold glare at Enishi as he straightened up while blood continued to roll down his chest from the cut.

Kanda held his empty hand out and his second blade formed. "Ningentou." Kanda stated, and Enishi's smirk widened as he readied his tachi.

"About time…" Enishi muttered, and the next moment, the two charged at each other and started to rapidly slash at each other.

Kanda's right shoulder was slashed as was his left leg, and Kanda wobbled a little before jumping back to dodged Enishi's tachi.

Enishi pushed his glasses up again with a sigh. "You start fighting for real, only to get even more slashed up. Pitiful…" Enishi muttered before suddenly crouching with his tachi pointing behind him.

"Gin gave you FAR too much credit!"

Watōjutsu! Senran Tōsei!

Enishi started to spin around rapidly, and Kanda flinched as he tried to block the attack, but failed as Enishi slashed his chest some more.

Enishi landed gracefully on the ground while Kanda hit the ground hard.

"How… How can you be so strong…?" Kanda asked as he slowly stood back up and used Mugen to steady himself.

"How? It's simple." Enishi stated as he pushed his glasses up again.

"Sister smiled at me." Enishi stated, and Kanda raised an eyebrow in confusion.

"W-What…?" Kanda muttered, but Enishi stopped talking there before suddenly slashing up at Kanda.

Kanda raised Mugen to block, but Enishi's foot lifted off the ground and kicked the back of the blade.

Watōjutsu! Shugeki Tōsei!

Kanda hit the building behind him while blood fell onto the ground before he did.

Kanda gritted his teeth as he started to get up, but Enishi swiftly kicked Kanda into the building again.

"Hmph, what a boring fight." Enishi muttered as he pushed his glasses up and then turned away.

"Your sword is good, but your body lacks." Enishi stated before sheathing his tachi, and he calmly put his tachi back into the wrapping before slinging it over his shoulder.

"Now, if you don't mind. I have a ship to catch. Thanks for letting me "practice" on you." Enishi stated with a chuckle before pushing his glasses up and leaving to let Kanda lay on the ground while blood drenched his clothes.

Kanda gritted his teeth as he staggered to stand up, and he stared after Enishi.

'Che… Beaten without landing a blow… 'your sword is good, but your body lacks'?' Kanda thought as he wobbled a little, and Mugen slipped from under his hand and Kanda hit the ground unconscious.

Enishi smirked as he walked out of the town, but he suddenly stopped and closed his eyes to see his sister smiling at him.

"It's time, Sister…" Enishi muttered before resuming walking toward where the ship was docked to take him to Japan.

Over by the docks, the clanging of steel against steel echoed around the area.

Allen slashed at Gin, but Gin side stepped it every time.

Gin smirked as he watched Allen's sword, and Gin then lifted his katana a little and suddenly blocked Allen's sword with his hilt.

Watōjutsu! Kaishi Tōsei!

Allen flinched as Gin aimed his katana at Allen's left shoulder, but Gin then suddenly grinned as he turned his katana at the last moment and slashed Allen's right shoulder.

Gin jumped back to dodge Allen's sword, and Allen gritted his teeth as he held his sword up at Gin.

Gin chuckled lightly as he rested his katana on his shoulder.

"Come on now… I'm hardly moving. Why don't you actually try to hit me?" Gin asked with a smile.

"Shut up!" Allen snapped as he slashed at Gin again, but missed as Gin suddenly was standing on Allen's sword.

"Meh, too easy." Gin muttered slashing Allen vertically and gracefully landing on the ground while Allen staggered backwards.

Allen panted heavily, but suddenly froze as his eye had activated and Allen felt pain fly through his body.

"W-What!?" Allen muttered as he clutched at his eye while Gin perked up.

"Oh? It's about time the pill had an effect. Must have been delayed cause of your Innocence." Gin stated and Allen glared at him in pain.

"What the hell do you mean!? What pill!?" Allen snapped, and Gin chuckled happily.

"You don't remember? Wow, one track mind. Impressive. I'm talking about the pill I told Kiki to give ya and she did with the best effect too." Gin stated with a grin and chuckle.

Allen's not covered eye widened in confusion as he stared at Gin.

"But… I haven't even seen Kiki in…" Allen's eye suddenly widened more as he remembered.

Gin chuckled again at Allen's reaction, and Gin then rested his katana in the ground before putting his hand on the top of the hilt.

"That's because the pill was given to you three years ago when you least expected it. Of course, stupid ol' me forgot to reward Kiki for that great performance she gave." Gin stated, and Allen gritted his teeth angrily as he continued to clutch at his cursed eye.

"You mean…!"

"What? That when she kissed you she made you swallow the pill? Wow, aren't you a smart one." Gin stated sarcastically as Allen glared lividly at Gin.

"What did that pill do!?" Allen shouted, and Gin's grin disappeared before he stared at Allen emotionlessly.

"It makes him come out of hiding again." Gin stated as he lifted his katana out of the ground and he swung the debris off of the blade.

"Now it's time… time to once again kill you… Sorry, Walker… But to kill him, you must die as well." Gin stated emotionlessly as he stared at Allen while Allen's cursed eye throbbed in pain.

"H-Him…!?" Allen asked bitterly, and Gin's smirk returned as he pointed his katana at Allen.

"For the past 7000 years I've been killing him, but each time he gets away before I can kill him. But this time, he's weaker thanks to that pill. Now I'll kill him and you, Walker! The 14th and you will both die by my blade!"

Wow, cliff hanger. Gotta love cliff hangers. -is beaten up by many people-

Next Chapter Preview: A short grace period is given as Gin finally tells why he's after Allen. The truth hurts, and so does Gin when he begins to fight seriously. Can Allen stand up to Gin or will Allen be another one in his grave?
