Taking it all in.

[oodama]

The deep gushing winds slowly cascaded themselves over the area. The wind, it's strength rocketed over the paths below, such a strong force, yet, it lightly brushed the tree leaves from the branches. The kindness it held toward the wild life here, it was one thing that a certain young man had never felt. He was a kind young man, He was once a human, treated badly, and killed by his parents. The Fukutaichou to the fifth division ranks, and now, he was more powerful than all of the vizard. This young man, his name was also well known, Oodama Kishi. Revered by all in Soul society.

"So, it has begun eh?"

Speaking with a soft tinge of hatred among his voice, he stood from the tree branch he had been resting upon. This young Vizard, he stood roughly about five foot eleven, or maybe even six foot. He looked like he was a light weight, and he was. He only weighed about one hundred and ninety pounds. He held deep crimson orbs that would glare, and pierce the very soul of his enemy, yet, give a soft, kind, spine shuddering chill to any lover he may have. The black hair stranded from atop his skull, coming down slightly past his eyes, and spiked out in the back. He grinned at the sight below, the light colored outfit fluttered in the wind.

Slowly removing his hands from his pockets, Oodama jumped down from the branch. The white tunic bushed his skin, the oddly shaped belt holding his sword, while also keeping his draping black pants from falling upon the ground. Keeping his feet from touching the ground, the black sandals also brushed softly against the ground.

"You will die now. I hope you know this."

The Vizard looked upon the Hollow that had been tearing the River apart. He couldn't have this. No, if he had, he would regret losing such a beautiful aspect of this city and town. It was truly the only thing that Oodama liked about this city, and the only reason he stayed around. So losing it now, would be a true upset to him. Now, this hollow, it stood no chance agaisnt Oodama. He was simply too weak. Taking a single step, The young vizard appeared on the opposite side of the hollow. Whispering a soft coo, the hollow slowly dissipated into the nothingness it had left for a heart.

"Bah, too easy."

Kira was playing with his boomerang, but using it as a slide and sliding down the mountain. Soon as it began to feel and can feel the grass that was pulling the weapon down. Yep, this was truly the number two Espada, Aizen's second strongest soldier. It was strange, to have a boy like him actually be a fighter but he actually was. Sure he might have looked cute, he can actually fight, especially when he uses his resurrect. As he reached down he got off the weapon and looked at the river. Well, most kids would play skateboarding so this was his own variation of it. Standing right there he looked around the place and couldn't help but sense a reitsu. It was strong, but he wasn't so sure on how strong it was exactly. It was very hard to tell but he didn't care about ti that much. Well, as long as whoever had the amount doesn't hurt him. Putting the weapon back to where it belong he remembered something. Wasn't there a hollow that lived here? Yeah, he met it once they had a good talk with each other too. He can even feel its presence right now.

Soon though, the feeling was gone. It couldn't be. Could it? Did it actually died, just like that? No, that wasn't it, it had to be something else, something that he doesn't know that was all. He wasn't sure of what it was exactly, but he refused to think that it is because it died. Maybe it just went back. Still, he knew that was a lie, it was his friend too. Jumping back onto the road he knew what killed it. The reitsu he had sensed earlier. It must have been a shinigami, or a human. He wasn't exactly sure because it was a little too far off. Still, because he was a fast Arrancar he was about to easily dash over there. Looking at the person's eyes, he didn't feel any fear at all. He had already came fact to face with death, after an experience like that, it was pretty hard to actually learn what the word fear meant anymore. Oh, this person was a vizard! Hmmm, he wasn't using his mask though.

Looking at the man he slowly came up to him. He had his guard up though for insurance as he looked at the person. " Why did you kill him? He didn't do anything to you. stated the boy, sadness and anger can be seen in his eyes. He was sad that a friend died and angry that someone had killed him for no reason at all. What are these people thinking? That hollows are just something to hunt? If so then they were wrong!

{Sorry about the short post}

[oodama]

Oodama took a deep breathe. Letting his lips part slightly, he brought his hand to his face. He wasn't about to let some air bring that harmful dust into his mouth. Yawning loudly, some dust still got into his mouth. Gagging from the disgusting taste, he coughed fiercely, his eyes watered, while he kept his throat toward the ground. His eyes slowly rose, nothing in this world could scare him. He nearly experienced death for a second time, and keeping his guard up was a natural reaction.

There was a strong reietsu coming his way. It didn't have an intent to kill, but it was so similar to his own. He let his lips part, ready to call out the single most important name that he could ever imagine. Hey f**k up, what ya thinking about?! Oodama shot up, rubbing his ear. It was the stupid bastard of a hollow named Sougan. He always had something to throw in, and it was getting rather annoying. Nothing you dirty not a very nice person. Go back into my soul where you belong. Didn't I beat you once already? The hollow had to keep quite after that, looking back to the area, he sighed once again. The Arrancar, the powerful Arrancar, showed up.

"He did plenty. He eats human souls. He was destroying this beautiful lake. That is enough for me to kill him. Plus, what are you going to do about it hm?"

He asked, the smug look that wiped across his face only made him grin. Oodama took a soft jog in place after standing up. He was so bored, and maybe if he provoked this Arrancar, he would have a fight on his hands. It was always fun to fight someone new. Why not? He was strong, and keeping away from the enemy wasn't any fun. So, taking a very rude glare away from the Arrancar. He shrugged, passing off the killing as a 'whatever'.

[vy]

"He did plenty. He eats human souls. He was destroying this beautiful lake. That is enough for me to kill him. Plus, what are you going to do about it hm?"

Kira's hands became fists as he stared at the horror. That was why? He was destroying the lake? He just wanted to live? Is that the reason? Also, to just make it sound so normal, like the creature was just something to do for fun. To kill it just like that, when it had friends and families. How cruel was this person? To not care about it and just kill it as if it was nothing at all. Sure the boy, himself have killed before but only when it was necessary and he always felt guilty afterwards. To simply do that, is to pretty much, not care about life at all. What if that happened to the man? Would he laugh it up like he is pretty much doing right now? His reitsu started to rise that that thought and not it was clear that he had a high amount.

A lake, that was his answer. Sure he love this lake himself, the river in it, the view of the stars but he wouldn't kill someone just for it. Taking out his boomerang he pointed it at the man. This was unusual for the boy, normally he would only fight if he has to but this time he was fighting because he wanted to. He wanted to fight so bad, to just wipe that smirk off the vizard's face and even more is to kill him." Revenge! That's what! I'm going to make sure that the hollow is going to laugh at your pitiful death!" he yelled out as he got ready to fight.

{Sorry about the short paragraph. Since I have a feeling it's going to be a battle.}

[oodama]

Oodama laugehd as the young Arrancar has slowly risen his Reietsu. It was high, but not as high as Oodama's. Oodama had a leisure on this young man. Taking a step toward him, he tilted his head to the side. There was oner thing though about Oodama. His shikai, did not make him stronger in many ways. It did one simple task. Make him available to more attacks. That's it. Though those attacks were powerful, and when combined, they were as deadly, or clsoe to a Cero to the face from point blank range. Though, Oodama was sure that young Arrancar was fast. Maybe not as fast as Oodama, but fast nonetheless.

Taking the fact that he was about to use his...oddly shaped Zanpakuto right away meant one thing. He was set to kill Oodama right away. Though he would be sadly mistaken if he could defeat Oodama. He was not one to go down easily, and sadly. This boy did not have what it took to take him out. Sighing, He unsheathed his own Zanpakuto grinning, tilting his head to the side. Then, he vanished, a swoosh leaving behind form where he once stood. thingying back his sword, he swiped it across to the boys neck.

"Be ready for everything I throw at you..."

With another shunpo, Oodama stood in front of him, his body slowly drifting to the side. Kicking off his foot, he flipped backwards, point his finger down at the boy, speaking a few words. The words, white lightning. A basic, yet powerful kidou that all shinigami should learn while in the academy. This kidou, if aimed coreectly, would kill the enemy in hand. Though, something told him that he had to keep this boy under tight observation.

"White Lightning"

[vy]

In a matter of seconds the vizard was right in front of Kira but he didn't flinched or move. The only thing he did was stood still, since after all, that attack will do nothing to him. Why? Well the reason was because he can see it, the attack was not strong enough to damage someone like him at all. He was still angered at what he did to the hollow though and with that he pointed his fingers at the vizard and shot a cero. It wasn't hard at all though since it was one of the most basic attacks for a espada. This was simply too easy, was he holding back?

Taking out his boomerang he threw it as hard as he can making it spin. He knew that it wouldn't end that easily but still he waited to see what would happen next. He wanted to know if this was going to end that easily or not. Heh, who was he kidding, this was going to end easily. Not if he want to have the vizard die or pitiful death. Still, was revenge really the right thing? Part of him thought so but then that would make him just like that guy. He quickly shook off the thought since it was distracting him from the battle.

[oodama]

Oodama coughed slightly at the blunt end of the boomerang. He snarled, what were the chances that the attack would hit? The boy was slower, and somehow, he escaped? It all came to Oodama in a fluster of emotions. He jumped back, standing, he pulled down the mask that he held such a loathing for. Though, Oodama could not deny the fact that it helped. And with the increased speed and power. Oodama rose a finger after chanting a single spells chant.

"Carriage of thunder, chasm of a spinning wheel, divide this light into six"

In that millisecond, a light broke form his finger, and made it's way to the Arrancars body. The chances of escaping, while being slower than Oodama, and applying at which this bakudo traveled, they were slim to say the least. Oodama was far from done. He was mad right then. He wasn't about to take that from a kid. Pointing his blade to the young man, he spoke once again.

"Death be with you, Zetsumei..."

The blade changed. In it's shikai state, Zetsumei takes the form of a regular long katana. The blade is Sterling silver, with a black edge. Two Red tigers on either side of the blade. The hilt resembles two Tigers, each countering each others ends. This is securely placed over the hilt which is all red with black ribbon etching itself in swirls and designs over the hilt. This black ribbon stretches and ties itself onto Oodama's forearm, allowing him to swing it around with ease. Their is a sheath that can be used to hold the released Zanpakuto for however long Oodama wishes, the sheath is all red, dragons swirling down the casing. Along the bottom of the sheath is a metal case, that keeps the sheath held together, this metal piece also has a dragon along the outside of it, but the dragon isn't alone. This dragon seems to be wrestling, or fight with a Tiger.

"Bankai..."

The blade disappeared, and in its place are ten rings, each on Oodama's finger's. Along with the Rings, behind Oodama, or where ever he goes, is an enlarged version of Zetsumei, now known as Zetsumei Tora. It's coat, though is an all black metallic color, while the stripes are a very bright simmering red. It's eye, glow a very light green, this is the iris, while the largest part is a very dark yellow. This, Tiger reaches about 15 meters in the air, roughly 35 meters in length, from tail tip to nose tip, so in any case, it is very large. This tiger, along with the smaller original appearance of Zetsumei, has flames upon the paws that seemed to escape from the creases of of it's claws, and that is all there is to the bankai appearance.

"Zetsumei Tora..."

calling out the name of His bankai once more. A dragon came down form the sky. Ina flashing instance. Oodama let his gaze fall into a depth less nothingness. He wasn't holding back at all. Flickering behind the boy. He let his body arch, the dragon shooting five beams of light from point blank range.

(Take note that Six rods are extremely fast! Byakuya used it, and even realizing what it was, Renji, a vice captain, could not escape. To top it off, when Oodama used it, he was 6 points faster than Kira. Also, since he is both Bankai, and using the mask, this shouldn't really be a hard decision)

[vy]

"Carriage of thunder, chasm of a spinning wheel, divide this light into six"

What? At the moment his thought was complete he was trapped by some kind of strange thing around his waist. What was this? He didn't know at all but he had a feeling that it wasn't good. Why? Well the reason should be obvious, he couldn't move right now. It couldn't last that long though, right? Standing right there he knew he had no choice to be brace himself. As his boomerang went back to him the only thing he could do was to get ready to use his boomerang to block the blow. He knew that it can't be a complete block, since he wasn't good blocking. Wait! He had an idea. With a certain burst of joy a grin was on his face as he started to form reitsu to get ready.

"Zetsumei Tora..."

Here it comes! He had to work quickly and luckily it worked. As the vizard was behind him a clone was form blocking the road a little. It hurt him, that was for sure but at least it wasn't as painful as it would've have been. Lucky for him when the clone hit him knocking him back a little it also was able to take the rods off. Yes, he can move again! Whether because he was an espada or the fact that his clone luckily hit him doing the dragon's attack it didn't matter at all! As long as he can move again, he was already happy. Okay, now it was time to end this before the dragon attacks again. Hopefully it won't be that hard.

"Time to end this." he stated while in his mind, he was praying that was going to happen. Okay, point his forefingers at the man who was behind him he chanted"Demon of thunder come forth!" lightning struck down at the boy but he didn't feel any pain at all. Instead he pointed at the man and lightning came out of his forefingers, just like white lightning except it was yellow.

[Angelina]

admin's note| I have found a flaw in this system of battle; when Oodama posts, Kira has a chance to guard, while when Vy posts and attacks Oodama, Oodama does not get a chance to block. just wanted to say that... not sure if I'm right or not, but that's what I think...

Anyway...

Oodama:

HP: -3 + 5 = 8 - 3 = 5
Attack: 5 + 5 = 10
Defense: 5 + 5 = 10
Speed: 15 + 5 = 20
Reiatsu: 20

Kira/Kaito:

HP: 7 - 2 = 5
Attack: 13
Defense: 5 - 2 = 3
Speed: 14
Reiatsu: 14

There ya go... Oodama... you better finish this battle before you run out of bankai and your mask dies out. Kira~ ya gotta hold on for a little longer. [Don't wanna be biased or anything...]

[vy]

Since Oodama didn't reply for a long time I guess Kira is the victor.
