Don't Own Bleach.
Utsumi's Zanpakuto's blue glow faded as he charged into battle against Urahara. The sing of the Zanpakutos echoed through the grounds. Yoruichi stood and watched taking careful and extensive note of Utsumi's battle form, areas he excels in and areas he could use work. She would obviously have to train him the use of shunpo as she was the Goddess of Flash. Yoruichi's shunpo was the fastest in the entire Soul Society. She would also work on his kido abilities as she was sure he could improve. He's strong for just a third seat she noted. With Kisuke and my guidance he could become... she shakes herself from that thought, she is only her to give him the best chance she can. She has no intention on returning to the Soul Society. Yet. She can live with the life she is making for herself in exile.
The battle rages on Urahara attacking Utsumi. Utsumi attacking back. Utsumi knows that Urahara is holding back. He wouldn't be holding his own against a Captain for this long if at all. He leaps back from the power struggle with Urahara for a breather. "Tell me, how much are you holding back?" he asks.
Urahara just smirked, "Now that wouldn't be fair seeing as you're holding back as well." his eyes light up mischievously. "First you tell me what powers your Zanpakuto holds." he said as he let his Zanpakuto hold him up.
Utsumi just looked to the bright blue sky, he had lost track of time. Captain Kyoraku had said his Zanpakuto has the potential to become one of the strongest in the Gotei 13. At the time Utsumi thought it was just a lip service to get him to train extra hard. Although he continued to train to the best of his ability, he still felt his Zanpakuto's potential was better off with someone who relished to fight. "Someone told me that my Zanpakuto has potential. I don't know what that means exactly. But I guess I could show you." He said reluctantly.
Utsumi lifts his Zanpakuto above his head and swings it foreward aiming towards Urahara, "Kurenjingu no taki!" He yelled. and from behind him an enormous swell of water 15ft high came crashing down around Urahara. The crash of the wave and residual ripples hitting the rocks filled the air, as the water disappeared into the ground, Urahara was left standing there with a blood-red shield wall in front of him with his hat missing.
Yoruichi took note of the ability. She looked at Utsumi and noted that he looked drained, he's exhausted. That one attack, although powerful, took it out on his Reiatsu. "Kisuke!" she called. "Let the boy rest we'll carry on later." She said sparing a glance for Utsumi.
Urahara nodded in agreement "That is some power you got there. With the training I'm gonna give you will able to pull more of them off. Now come, hopefully Tessai has made dinner." he said rubbing his hands together.
Yoruichi rolled her eyes as she headed over to Utsumi, "Hey, that was good. We are going to work on shunpo and kido together" She said seriously before a smirk took place, "and maybe if your lucky I will show you something else." she teased as they walked back to the ladder.
Utsumi just kept walking before replying, "I think I will stick with the shunpo and kido." he said with a straight face as if he missed to the obvious tease.
Yoruichi put it down to exhaustion, "We'll start tomorrow, for today we are going to rest up, eat and sleep." she said as they stopped before the ladder. Utsumi gestured for her to go first which she did he followed as she got further up the ladder.
Back in the shop, in the back room. It was cleaner than before and more organized and in order unlike before they went downstairs. A hulking mustachioed man with a deep booming voice, "Kisuke, I trust the shop is to your liking." he said has he gestured with a muscular arm around the space he was standing. "Also the dinner will be ready, I trust our guest is staying?" He asked looking Utsumi up and down.
Utsumi found the man intimidating. "Yes I am. You have done a good job around here...uh what was your name?" he asked.
Tessai just stared at the smaller man before grabbing him into a bear hug, "Tessai Tsukibishi and thank you so much noticing my work." he said as he put Utsumi down on the floor much to the snickering Urahara and Yoruichi's disappointment.
They all sat around the low, round wooden table eating in silence until Urahara broke the silence, "So Utsumi your Zanpakuto's power, as unrefined as it is, is quite remarkable. Tell me, have you fought with you Zanpakuto since you found out that ability of yours?" He asks.
Utsumi has to think about that. He hasn't physically fought with her since only verbal sparring about his actions before and after leaving the Soul Society, she refused to back down despite the grim odds against her and him for that matter, when he's tried she's ignored but then that was immediately after obtaining Shikai so maybe she was reluctant to give anything else after that.
"No, I haven't. She fought me tooth and nail for Shikai and that one attack, I figured I'd give her time to cool down before I ask for more."
Everyone nodded knowing how temperamental Zanpakuto could be. Yoruichi spoke up first, "So maybe we should work on that as well as other things." she said running her hands up and down his thigh. She felt him tense up before scooting away while they all laughed and Utsumi's response. She scooted up next to him again and whispered, "Relax, the more you react the more reaction you'll get."
Utsumi knew that, but when a beautiful, former princess is teasing you, relaxing is pretty difficult. he thought. "Excuse me, the meal was delicious." he said as he got up and left to head out of the store. Leaving the rest of to their meals.
Utsumi shunpoed away from the store, knowing what he was looking for. As he was shunpoing away he felt guilty for leaving his... what exactly? Friends? Acquaintances? Temporary teachers? he perhaps should have told them where he was going. Like it matters, they could easily find me it the want. He thought.
He comes across a small wood area he walks calmly through the wood it was dusk and the sun was setting creating long shadows and with the breeze that is whistling through the trees. The swaying of the branches creates an eery feel as if he's being followed. He comes to a clearing with a small stream. It's fed by a small waterfall. Utsumi sits himself on the ground and stabs his Zanpakuto in the ground right in front of and sits in a meditative place.
Seigi no Torento stood in the ground in front of Utsumi, completely still. Utsumi's closed his eyes , he clears his thoughts and begins trying to communicate with her. I need you now, you know what I must do. You told me and I didn't listen. I need your help if I'm to get justice for these people. They say they don't want it but I can tell. Even after you and I clear their names they can stay if that is their wish but I need you to help me get stronger, not for me but them and the others. The sealed Zanpakuto just shook.
