A quiet humming of spiritual energy gathered in her fingers. Sucking in a deep and concentrated breath, she aimed and released the arrow. It disintegrated before it even hit the target post.
Lowering her arms with disappointment, Katagiri sighed. Her ornate-shaped bow vanished in a faint blue-white swirl and her Quincy Cross dangled on her wrist. It seemed that her body still not fully recovered. Her ability to gather reishi was still weak.
If a Hollow were to appear, she would definitely have problems taking one down. A frown etched her lips.
"You should be resting." Ryuuken walked into the Ishida underground training chamber.
Startled, Katagiri turned around. Apparently her ability to sense spiritual presence was also diminished. She dipped her head. "Ryuuken-sama."
He went past her just slightly to examine the practice targets. Some were completely destroyed and others stood pristine. The fair-haired man looked at her over his shoulder and stated bluntly, "Training is useless when your body is not in top shape."
"I was feeling restless," Kanae admitted as she tried not to fidget with the cool charm on her left wrist. Her eyes looked at the cross. It was uncomfortable to sit in her sleeping quarters and do nothing.
His blue eyes stared at her drooped shoulders. Clearing his throat, Ryuuken took out his cross and his bow flared to life. He looked away and his glasses caught the lights from the ceilings. "Set up some new targets. I could use some practice."
Katagiri lifted her head with her eyes glimmering. She smiled as he stood off to a distance and took his archer stance.
"Yes, Ryuuken-sama."
