Riku's POV
I followed the green haired girl in front of me.
"Ok…we're here!" She said excitedly as she abruptly skidded to a halt leaving a cloud of dust behind her. My eyes went wide in horror. I'M GOING TOO FAST! Quickly I tried to brake but ended to find myself sliding on the dirt ending with a face plant on the ground.
"YOU IDIOT! TELL ME WHEN YOU'RE GOING TO STOP!" I yelled at her. She stared at me and laughed.
"HAH YOU SHOULD OF SEEN YOUR FACE WHEN YOU TRIPPED! IT WAS HILARIOUS!!" She said laughing her head off tears coming from her eyes. I gave her my most dirtiest look that I could. Seeing my face she stopped laughing.
"Erm…gomen Riku-kun." She said apologetically. Slowly I got up to my aching feet.
"Ok…let's do this thing Kirei-chan." I said happily. Finally my promised fight with her. After months of saying no I finally got her to say yes! If only I knew how easy it was to get her into fighting me. Damaging her pride is pretty easy. Quickly I pulled out my zanpukuto.
"WAIT! Hold yer horses Riku-kun. First before we fight we need to make sure that we don't get caught like a bunch of idiots!" She said to me as if she was talking like a baby. A vein appeared on my head.
"DON'T TALK TO ME AS IF I'M A BABY!" I yelled at her. I wouldn't be surprised if she gotten beaten up because of her attitude.
"Ne, ne Riku-kun. Ya get mad so easily! I made this," she said gesturing to four metal box looking things that looked very complex and stuff. "these four boxes can connect together to form a barrier around us not letting anything in or out. And when I say anything I mean anything, which means sound and also reiatsu. So after I set these babies up we're good to go!" She said excitedly.
"How far can these things go?" I asked suspiciously. This girl has a habit of not telling the full story of a lot of stuff to me. Like this one time she wanted to try out one of her potion thingies on me that she usually makes yet she didn't tell me that I wasn't supposed to sniff it. I was supposed to eat it instead so after I sniffed it, I became paralyzed for one hour just lying on the ground while she was trying to drag me to the fourth division yelling at me saying that it's my fault for sniffing it.
"It about goes sixty square feet in diameter and almost twenty-five feet high." She answered back a bit hesitantly. I started sweating.
"Are you sure?" I asked desperately. She looked at me and started laughing hard.
"Don't worry Riku-kun. Ya won't get electrocuted or anything…but there may be side effects." She said quietly.
"NANII?!" I yelped freaked out.
"AHAHAHA!! You should've seen that look on your face! It was a look of pure terror!" She choked trying to get the words through her laughing as tears streamed from her eyes. She then turned her back to me and finished setting the boxes up. She then took a remote from her yukata and pressed a button. Suddenly a thin transparent wall appeared connecting the boxes together all sixty feet long and twenty-five feet high.
"Okie-dokie then it's ready!" She said happily. "I'm so glad it actually worked." She said a bit amazed. I stared at her with my eye twitching a bit.
"Y-you mean that you never tried this yet…"I asked shocked.
"Yups! I seriously never tried this before and I'm really glad it worked!" She said happily and excited. I stood there with a vein visibly pulsing on my forehead. IDIOT! SHE COULD'VE GOTTEN US KILLED! Soon I was cut short of a look she given me. She looked at me serious and concerned.
"You know I don't really think that this is a good idea… I mean one of us could get hurt and stuff and I really don't know what to do if that happened and-" She kept on rambling on and on as if she was hiding something. I stared at her suspiciously…what's wrong with her? Wait I'm not going to let a problem come in between of us having our match.
"Baka! Who do you think I am? I can handle everything that you can throw at me! To me it sounds like another excuse for you trying to bail out on me!" I said haughtily.
"Tch, like I'd ever bail out on you! Let's do it!" She said confidently. Slowly I took out my zanpukuto. I looked into her bright green eyes and noticed something I never saw her look. Anticipation.
Ready…
Set…
GO!
Suddenly she disappeared from my eyes. I quickly did a 360 scanning the area around me before I heard a noise. Swiftly I swung my zanpukuto in right in the exact place I heard that noise. My eyes widened behind me when I heard a voice say-
"Dominator. Mask of flesh and blood." My eyes widened in horror. I know that spell. Speedily I swung my zanpukuto at her attacking her as quickly as possible yet easily she dodged every one continuing the spell.
"All living beings. Fluttering. That which has the name human." As fast as possible I released my zanpukuto.
"Ambush, Kiri no Kitsune!" I yelled loudly. Soon my zanpukuto split into two, which looked like claws. Three points on each sword.
"Kiri no tantou!" (Fog daggers… yeah lame name. I couldn't think of anything else… yeah.) I yelled out loud. Slowly my released zanpukuto disappeared to be replaced by fog going out through the air. I grinned with confidence as my invisible daggers homed onto my opponent.
She tried to dodge all of the daggers as some brushed her arms creating small cuts in her skin. She continued on, "Truth and temperance. Slightly imbed your claws into the walls of innocent dreams." Her eyes lit up sparking with confidence as she made her way close to me. My transparent daggers came in from every side and lunged to her running figure. Smoke filled up the air to be replaced by an empty ground revealing no body. My eyes widened. Shunpo?! I heard her voice suddenly appear behind me. My eyes widened as she smirked knowing that it was too late to move. "Destructive Arts 33: Blue Fire Wall" She shouted.
Kirei's POV:
I stared at the dust cloud before me. I smirked. How could he actually think that he could actually beat me when he can't even hit me? Then two thin transparently white things poofed out of the cloud of dust. Easily I dodged it. When will this boy ever learn?
"First restrain: Obstruction." My eyes went wide in horror as my arms got pinned against my back. Soon enough his two daggers hit me, one in my left shoulder and one on my right thigh bringing me a wave of suprise and pain. Quickly I used my reiatsu to break free from the spell.
"That was dirty." I said angrily at him as the dust cleared. Blood poured out from his forehead and some from his arm. He smirked at me. His zanpukuto had reverted back to its sealed form.
"You never said anything about the rules. Plus I'm not going to go easy on you now just because you are a girl." He said smiling.
"Yes but I thought that you wouldn't be the sore loser type to resort to such techniques just because you can't hit me…. AND WHAT'S WRONG WITH BEING A GIRL?!" I answered back with acid in my voice. His smile grew bigger.
"Urusai. Life isn't fair and it will never be that way. Now why won't you take out your zanpukuto? I never had seen it before." Riku said. My eyes lit up in a smile. Like Nanao, I never take out my zanpukuto only when necessary or when I actually need it. Nobody besides my little children (Usagi-chan, Karasu-kun and Koinu-kun) and me had ever seen it before and I doubt nobody ever will…or remember seeing it.
"Well…you're going to have to try harder then that to actually see it." I said smugly. He smiled then disappeared. I closed my eyes and listened drowning out any other sounds but the sound of metal cutting the air and footsteps on the ground. When any sound I heard got dangerously close to me I easily jumped out of the way.
"Is that all you can do?" I taunted, "you've already released your shikai and pretty much told me its abilities. Right now, the odds aren't in your favor." I'm pretty confident that I can win. After he swings, he leaves himself open, he is terrible at kidou and I know it pretty good.
"Don't count your chickens before they hatch cause I'm just getting warmed up." Riku grinned at me. A slightly evil grin if you ask me. He actually looked pretty freaky with an evil grin plastered on his face plus all that blood dripping down his face and body too. Author's note: yes Kirei-chan really pays attention to the small details in everything. Please deal with her attention span. Domo
He disappeared from my sight again to disappear in the back of me, his sword coming down to slice me in half. Quickly I maneuvered my way around it jumping to the side. Oh god, he was moving so fast it seemed like I was in Naruto dodging all of his clones. It really seemed like there was more then one of him. I was moving so quickly that I became short on air. I jumped far away from him gasping for air.
"… What?!" I muttered in surprise. Riku just grinned at me as if he was hiding a secret. He disappeared to appear again right in front of me to punch me in the stomach. I coughed up blood as I gasped for air. I felt all of my energy get sucked up from my body as I slowly went limp.
"Himitsu, I thought that you were better then that. I certainly overestimated you." Riku taunted. I flinched. Flinched for two reasons. Riku was acting totally different, completely a whole new different evil and sadistic person and two; nobody and I mean nobody calls me by my first name. I glared at him as veins appeared quite visibly on my forehead. I snapped a strong kick at his neck that sent him flying.
"NOBODY CALLS ME HIMITSU!" I yelled angrily pointing my finger at him. I glared at him now feeling interestingly rejuvenated. I stared at him looking directly into his cough deranged cough filled eyes.
He slowly got up to his feet to again disappeared from my eyes only to appear on my right again. I ducked and kicked him in the chest that sent him flying. Yes from all of that work from running away from all of the senseis, it has finally paid off to give my feet one pack of a punch… or a kick… either way it was a good hit. He slowly got up wincing from the pain that I put him through. It probably broke a few ribs or so.
"What's the matter Riku-kun," I taunted, "can't handle little ol girl me?" I asked tauntingly. He looked at me and glared.
"Ambush, Kiri no Kitsune!" He yelled as his zanpukuto split into two swords and the blades on each zanpukuto split into three revealing claw-looking things. He looked at me with his eyes piercing.
Riku's POV
I lunged for her again pouring all of my reiatsu into shunpo. She again tried to dodge it as I barely scrapped her arm. She silently cursed herself trying to remember that my zanpukuto is longer now and it covers more area. She dropped to her knees on the ground clutching her arm as blood pooled through it. She raised her head up to me and glared.
"Oi, you done already?" I taunted resting my zanpukuto on my shoulder. She grinned as her reiatsu rose higher and higher. A flaring blue aura surrounded her. I cautiously took a step back as she rose to her feet.
"Seems like you can't pull anything off that would surprise me anymore. Like I said before, is that all you can do? Judging by your face I guess that is all you can do ne? I guess I'll end this now." She said pulling her own two feet apart and raising her hands in front of her. I jumped back and started to retreat as fast as possible. I cursed. She isn't actually thinking of doing that?
"Running away Riku-kun?" She asked curiously hanging upside down from a branch. I jumped back. How the hell did she get over here so quickly? Only seated captains and above could move so fast. She grinned as her eyes lit up almost sparking.
"Hadou number sixty three," she began. My eyes widened in horror. That baka is actually going to do it. I raised my zanpukuto to protect myself for it was too late to run.
"SOUREN SOUKATSUI!" she cried as a huge blast bursted out of her hands. I closed my eyes waiting for the pain yet all I could feel was debris hitting me. She… missed? I opened my eyes just to see something hit me in the ribs flying me back into the tree. I groaned in pain, my head ringing.
GOMEN NASAI PPLS. I was having a hard time on the action scene so no flames ok? ARIGATOU!
