Dance of lies
Both of them just stared at each other for a few seconds, while Hayami was internally panicking. Of all the people to run into, why him? How did he even get in here? Was that a captain’s haori?
Masa broke the ice first. “Ah, sorry, but…do I know you?”
Denial? Or maybe he lost his memory of life? If it was the latter, then he was lucky to escape the memories, and more importantly, it meant that neither of them had to drag up bad memories; she was over her death, and didn’t want to go over it again. Still, if Masa was bluffing, she still intended to kill him. That would require her to keep an eye on him.
“I don’t think so. By the way, who are you?” The lie was accepted; who said that denial didn’t solve anything?
“I’m Kasumi Masa, the new captain of the 13th Division.”
Hayami pointedly ignored the flash of relief in his eyes. The 13th Division, the only division without an official title, it was just used to backup any squad when they were lacking, and was known for being the lazy division. Not where she would like to spend her time, but she could get used to it.
“I’m Shimizu, Kasumi-taicho.”
“Please, just call me Kasumi, I’m not used to the taicho. Oh, I should get to the academy meeting before I’m too late! Goodbye Shimizu, I hope to see you in Division 13! ”
Still as careless as ever. Well, it looked like her division choice was set in stone now.
Graduation went on without a hitch, and Hayami ended up as a new unseated officer in Division 13. She promptly challenged, and beat the fourth seated officer, seizing his spot; even without shikai, when you had a spirit pressure as heavy as hers, it made you quite difficult to fight. Over the next century, she kept training, pushing herself to become strong enough to take on a captain – she was still keeping an eye on Masa, which meant staying close to him for well over two hundred years. In all that time, after realizing that she wasn’t making any real progress with her zanpakuto for some reason, she trained her strengths; she studied the many different forms of hand to hand and sword-fighting styles, becoming highly efficient at physical fighting.
She made sure to keep her relationship with Masa as strictly captain/subordinate, despite his attempts at a more relaxed setting. The most she conceded was to not call him taichou all the time, and that was solely because he didn’t want anyone treating him with so much formality.
It was an uneasy status-quo, but Hayami was slowly letting go of her general anger against Masa, to the point that when he requested her to go on patrol with him, she didn’t protest for once.
There were reports of arrancar within East Rukongai, and as third division was already out trying to control the hollow at a different section, they were sent out to put down the problem. It wasn’t a big issue, there were two arrancar, one a sever foot ugly as hell bald guy, and the other a little girl, both of them rampaging across District 10. Masa looked at the two, and went off to engage the girl, leaving the ugly one for her to deal with. It was simple enough, when he went to slam into another building, she simply ran up to him, and used the force of his punch to flip him over, slamming him head-first into the ground.
She looked over to see Masa and the girl talking, just what was he doing anyway?
“Kasumi, what are you doing?” She didn’t even turn around, sending out a backhand and sending the other arrancar flying as he got back up.
He apparently didn’t appreciate that, as he dragged himself out with a roar, charging energy for a cero. Hayami couldn’t care less, but Masa wasn’t aware of how strong Hayami really was. As she drew her zanpakuto to deal with the oaf, Masa noticed her situation and panicked.
“Hayami, look out!”
What did he call me?
The sheer shock of being called by her first name, a name that she never told anyone, distracted her enough that she forgot about dodging the cero, causing Masa to step in and deflect it, counteHayamig with a kido of his own. At this point the little girl interrupted, dragging the oaf away through a garganta, but Hayami wasn’t paying any attention to them anymore.
“So, you do remember.”
“I don’t suppose that you can forget I said that.”
The blade pointed at him answered that question. “Hayami, we do need to talk about this..” The reiatsu Hayami was letting out now was telling him that now was not the time. She was definitely still angry.
“Masa, leave.”
For once, he listened and vanished in a flash of shunpo. Hayami wandered off on her own, not really caHayamig about the end destination as long as it was away from Masa.
The confrontation – Part 1 : Not the best first impression
When Hayami woke up, she found herself standing in some plain, covered by a thick mist. She could barely see the blue marble of the ceiling, and all she could see in front of her were some odd coloured walls and pillars. She wandered about, crashing into the odd pillars, and quickly lost her patience and reach for her zanpakuto, only to notice it missing. Well that answered the question of where she likely was anyway.
She knew that she eventually made it back to her quarters, after unsuccessfully trying to calm down before she did something rash – like try to rip Masa’s intestines out. She noticed that her zanpakuto was glowing for some reason, and when she grabbed it, she ended up here.
Back to the present, she was becoming quite uneasy; she was sure that she was wandeHayamig around in circles, and she could feel someone’s eyes on her, but she couldn’t find them through the fog in the area.
“I know you’re there, come out already.” Her voice echoed all over the place.
“You’ll have to come in here and get me.”
So she finally got an answer, but the voice sounded a bit distorted, and with the echoes she couldn’t get a proper direction. Patience ended.
“Where are you, you coward!” She punched one of the random walls, and was rewarded with a throbbing hand. The things were solid and cold
“Behind you.” That one was clear, and very close.
Hayami turned around, and was punched in the face, her head snapping back from the force.
“That’s for ignoHayamig me for over a century!” She got hit from another punch right below her ribcage, winding her.
“That’s for keeping me in such horrible condition! Would it have killed you to maintain me?!”
A knee to the stomach, followed by a kick straight to the groin floored her. “And that was for sealing me away for so long! Do you have any idea how annoying it is to be locked away for over a hundred years!”
“What a low blow.” Hayami was currently trying to catch her breath. Whoever said that kicking a woman between the legs didn’t hurt lied.
“Oh quit being a baby you little wimp.”
“Wimp? I’ll show you wimp you son of a…..you’re female?”
That got her a kick in the face, throwing her back into a wall, a trail of blood flowing in the air from her broken nose.
“What do you mean if I’m female?” He screamed. “What part of my voice sounds feminine to you?”
Hayami blocked the second kick to her face with her arm, quite pissed off herself. She didn’t need to deal with this on top of everything. “Whose fault is that? You were the one who ignored me!”
Hayami took a good look at what was supposed to be part of her soul. He was about six feet tall, with black hair, he was glaHayamig at him with cold blue eyes,
The spirit grabbed her by the neck, dragging her up in the air while quickly cutting off her air supply. After glaHayamig at her for a few seconds, he threw her to the side, walking back into the mist.
“What a waste, you aren’t even worth my time.”
Hayami pulled herself to her feet, blood pouHayamig from her nose, and glaHayamig at the man’s back. “Where do you think you’re going?”
The spirit looked back, a bored look on his face. “Oh, so the little cry baby has some spark left in her.” His face broke in a manic gHayami. “You want me to listen; you’re going to have to fight for it.”
Hayami’s face broke out into a psychotic gHayami of her own. Hello stress relief. “Works for me.” She shifted herself, getting into a fighting stance.
Her spirit cracked his neck and shoulders, as the mist and walls vanished around them, marking out the fighting Hayamig. “I don’t show mercy.”
Hayami raised her fists, ready to fight. “Neither do I.”
Her spirit fell into a stance of his own, his fists raised. “Then let’s rumble.”
They both lunged at each other, trading punches and kicks, and making quite the dust cloud. They seemed to be evenly matched; while Hayami frequently got his into arm locks and slammed him to the ground, he in return constantly sent Hayami crashing into one of the many pillars in her inner world. After what felt like days of them going at it…..
“Give up already…” Her zanpakuto spirit panted, swinging forward with a left roundhouse.
“No, you.” Hayami grabbed the leg, using the opportunity to pull him forward and punch him in the solar plexus.
“Stubborn brat.” Her spirit countered with a palm strike below her jaw. Hayami countered with a sweep kick, knocking the spirit to the ground. Her muscles are all screaming for rest, but she was not losing to some dude who was thought he was all that.
Her spirit fell hard on his back, rolling out of the way of Hayami’s kick and grabbing the outstretched leg, flipping up and throwing Hayami across the field. Hayami crawled to her feet, panting for breath.
“You look like crap pHayamicess.” Her zanpakuto spirit was panting as he said this, spitting out some blood from his mouth.
“Speak for yourself…” Hayami was quite sure that she looked like crap; she certainly felt like it.
The zanpakuto spirit gHayamined weakly, barely keeping himself standing. “How about we call it a draw?”
“….Fine.” With that, both of them collapsed, and for a few minutes, all that quiet except for their gasps for air.
“You’re not a bad fighter.” Her zanpakuto spirit had rolled onto his back, gazing at the sky.
“You’re not bad yourself.” Hayami looked up, noticing that all the mist was fading away, revealing that the entire area was made of dark blue pillars and walls, with a blue marble floor.
“What did you mean about me sealing you away?”
“When you locked away your emotions, you locked me away. As you started feeling again, I was able to get out.”
“Ah.” She stared at the night sky for a few more minutes. “Hey, what’s your name anyway?”
“Heh, you aren’t getting shikai that easily. You can call me Giri, keep yourself alive for a couple of days and we’ll talk again.”
The confrontation – Part 2: Samurai showdown round 2.
Hayami woke up on her bed, her body still aching from phantom pains. Giri had one hell of a punch. A quick glance outside showed her that it was still night – how much time passed while she was in her inner world?
About twenty hours
Huh? That voice didn’t sound anything like Giri, odd…. At least it answered her question. Pulling herself out of bed, she grabbed her zanpakuto, and noted that it was looking very different. The sheath had turned blue, along with the hilt, and the blade and hilt-guard had repaired itself; the blade looked completely new.
Try to keep it looking like that.
Okay, that was Giri. Her voice kept fading off at the end though. She probably needed to talk to him more.
That would help.
Okay that second random voice was becoming distracting. Anyway, she had other issues to deal with.
Masa wasn’t surprised to find Hayami in his room; what did surprise him was that she wasn’t trying to kill him yet.
“We need to talk.”
She wanted to talk, that was a start. “So, where do we go from here?”
Hayami took a deep breath, she had thought this over for another entire day, and she came to her answer, even if she didn’t like it. “After trying to figure that out, I can see that for some reason, I’m still in love with you.” She was shaking now, but she was going to finish it. “It is because of that……. Because of my feelings that I cannot forgive you.”
Masa just stared at her with a mix of happiness and sadness. While it was nice to know that Hayami actually still had feelings for him, he knew that she could never forgive him.
“Kasumi Masa, I formally challenge you for your position as captain.”
“Very well Hayami, I accept. We fight in two days.”
The news of the fourth seat challenging their captain for his position spread quickly in the normally laid-back division. It certainly guaranteed that they met the two hundred plus witness requirement when the day came.
Hayami really didn’t care about the crowd; the entire point of this was for her to put her past behind her, by chopping it into many tiny pieces. Or die trying, which sounded preferable to simply being in limbo anyway.
Quit being so depressing, focus on winning.
She had grown used to that voice popping up by now. Giri had showed up long enough to tell her that he wasn’t doing it, but that the voice meant that something interesting was going to happen soon. Somehow, that didn’t settle well with Hayami, but the voice was at least being very helpful.
The captain commander came out, gave a speech that Hayami ignored, and the moment he started the fight, she stepped forward, swinging her sword forward to intercept Masa’s swing at her torso, before parrying his blade and stabbing at his heart. Masa shunpoed away again, and Hayami simply pointed behind her, and Masa had to move again lest he get caught in her binding kido.
“You might as well stay still, I can see where you’re going.”
Another shift of her hand, and Masa appeared a few feet behind her, sporting a cut across his torso. It wasn’t deep, but it proved a point seeing that he didn’t even see her swing her blade.
“You have been improving, although I wonder why you haven’t learnt Shunpo. It’s not as if you don’t have the skill for it, and you’re clearly not slow if you can keep up with it so easily.”
Hayami simply shifted her stance. “I never felt bothered with it. I can move fast enough to cut you anyway, so it’s not like it matters.”
Masa shook his head at Hayami’s blunt answer, while releasing some of his reiatsu. “Well then, let’s see how strong you are.” As he spoke, his zanpakuto shifted form, becoming a silver spear. As he charged at her, Hayami focused her spirit pressure; she knew full well what that spear did, but her only means of counteHayamig was to overwhelm Masa with sheer reiatsu. The blades clashed, causing an eruption of reiatsu as the area around the fighters became coated in ice.
Breaking away, Hayami shook off the few patches of ice that formed on her blade, sidestepping as Masa tried to bHayamig the spear down on her head. He blocked her counter with the shaft of his spear, sending a wave of ice at her in the same motion. As such close range, Hayami had little choice but to weather the wave, as she was pushed a few feet back.
“I don’t remember you being so easy to knock away Hayami, you’ve been slacking off.”
Masa quickly raised his spear to parry Hayami’s counter, using the opening to slash at her ribs. The cut area quickly froze over, adding more pain to the wound.
You might want to calm down a bit.
Well as if that wasn’t obvious. It didn’t change the fact that whenever they clashed blades, Masa simply knocked her back with a wave of ice before she could cut him, and her body was starting to get frostbite. While she was trying to catch her breath, and hopefully warm up her body while at it, Masa spun around that spear of his, gatheHayamig more reiatsu as he spoke the words that were to damn him.
“Did I ever tell you how beautiful you are when you’re fighting? When you stop hiding your emotions so much.” He took a moment to just smile at her, with a hint of sadness peeking through.
“Even though you want to kill me, it just makes me love you all the more.”
Hayami didn’t know what triggered her. Maybe she was mad because she thought that he was lying, maybe because she believed him and this was the time he chose to tell her. All she knew was that after that, she lost track of the next few minutes, everything blending into a haze of reiatsu, people gasping, and everything covered in crimson.
Her next clear sight was seeing Masa lying in a crater, clutching the broken shaft of his zanpakuto a deep diagonal slash running across his chest. Even without seeing the growing puddle of blood, it was obvious that the wound was fatal.
“So that’s…..your shikai huh? It suits you.”
She noted out of the corner of her eye that her zanpakuto was now a dagger, but she was more interesting in Masa’s dying body. It felt like her body was acting in auto-pilot, as she knelt down by him, brushing the stray locks of hair out of his face.
“So, this is where we part. Seems familiar to last time, except that your wounds aren’t fatal.”
“Honestly, you’re going to die and that’s what you’re rambling about?”
“You have a point there, but it’s not like we have much to discuss anymore. Try to move on Hayami, it wouldn’t do for you to remain hung up over me.”
“You moron, why would I care about you?”
He just gave her a pained smile, before his eyes drifted closed and he leaned back, with that smile still on his face.
………………..
“Hey, think she’s still zoned out?”
“I’m not sure, check and see.”
A kick to her ribs got Hayami awake quite quickly. “You son of a –“
Before she could kill the idiot who thought violence was a good way to wake people up, Hayami took notice of her location. She was sitting on a blue marble floor, but that wasn’t the odd part. What really had her reeling was the fact that the place looked like someone ignored the laws of reality when they made it. There were stairs and passageways on the walls and ceiling, and some halls in sight were twisting around to wherever they lead to.
“So you think this place is crazy? Glad you agree, but you aren’t going to like what it means….”
And we had the mystery second voice. She was standing next to Giri, with a calm smile in place.
“So, who are you?”
“I’m Yama, now onto more important questions; are you okay?”
“I’m fine.”
“You don’t sound fine, you pretty much blanked out after the fight.”
Great, now she was getting pitied by Giri. ”I am fine.”
“No you are not, really you hiding your emotions from everything is why we’re in this position.”
They were definitely pitying her now. This was exactly why she didn’t like showing weakness; pity was one of the most annoying things in existence. Her thoughts were broken though when the two of them latched on to her, refusing to let her out of their death hug.
“This has nothing to do with pity; we’re simply here to help you put yourself back together when you eventually break.”
She tried to kick them off of her, but Yama was smart enough to lock her legs before she could try. He was definitely the smart one….
“I am not a piece of glass! I don’t break, I live on! I am not going to become depressed and hung up over some idiotic, traitorous assassin!”
They just held on to her, determined not to let her leave.
“Again, you don’t sound like you don’t care.”
“I don’t! And I never will! He was a two-faced pain in the neck! Now Let. Me. Go!”
Her words were starting to break apart as her breaths started coming in gasps. These two were really getting on her last nerve, to get her so angry.
“You can hate us all you want, but we aren’t letting you kill yourself anymore. Didn’t Giri tell you that bottling up your feelings wasn’t going to help you in the long run? You’re simply making it worse, having to deal with a tidal wave when the dam eventually breaks.”
Dam breaking? Yeah right, that wasn’t happening ever. Especially not over such a stupid reason. She expected the interruption by now, this time by Giri, although she wasn’t ready for her words.
“There’s nothing wrong with still loving him even after everything.”
Her body went rigid as Giri verbally slapped her with what she was trying to ignore. Really, did she have to say it with such an exasperated tone? For a moment, she sounded just like…….him.
“Not….fair.”
“You’re the one lying to yourself. Hey, calm down already, stop crying over me.”
Yet despite her words, Giri and Yama only held on tighter, as Hayami’s emotional dam finally crumbled, acting as her anchors before she was drowned in her flood of grief.
Seven Years Passing, The breaking
Hayami was fighting hollows; it wasn’t an invasion, just a rather large increase in hollow activity. Perhaps an arrancar or menos was near by driving all the hollows wild. As a captain, she wouldn’t be expect to do much more than coordinate forces, which greatly annoyed her. Hayami liked to fight, she liked to kill and she loved to feel the excitement as she hacked and slashed her way through them all.
Yama and Giri hadn’t seen her in ages, in fact the last time was bankai, which didn’t go over well at all, she still had mental scar’s from the horror those two put her through. As she fought, she could feel her twin daggers with her, aching to feel contact, but Hayami hadn’t forgiven the two of them, not in the slightest.
Rounding a corner, Hayami saw an arrancar, weak and unrefined, more mask than face, but still present. Roaring, the arrancar charged at her, swinging wildly, hitting her, as she deflected and slashed at him. Moving westward, she aimed to take out his lower section, then finish him off.
Roaring out in pain, the arrancar released him, as he appeared in his true form. It was slightly grotesque, he was a large morbid hand, with what appeared to be faces for each finger, 8 fingers in all. All of them laughing, all of them screaming, it was morbid and sick. It pulsed, and Hayami blinked and staggered backwards, recomposing herself, she looked again, but this time saw Yama and Giri’s faces on two of the fingers, screaming out, in agony and pleasure at the same time.
Enraged, Hayami starting hacking at the arrancar hand, however the faces continued laughing almost mocking her, as she slashed, she started to cry, her lovers face appeared on one of the fingers of the morbid hand, and her rage continued. She had quickly disposed of the Arrancar, slashing his throat, and dismembering him.
She returned to the Soul Society, to be granted with a request by the Captain Commander. "Hayami Rentai, I feel it is your place to be the Captain of the Kido Corps." he spoke. This made Hayami jump with glee, as she quickly accepted this position. She was granted her Haiori, and followed her duties as Captain.

Kin (禁, Seal) Ties the target's arms on the back in addition to wrapping the spiritual fabric around the entire body, and continues to pin the target with spiritual fabric stacked to the ground around the target with several iron shafts in an "X" shape.[29] This technique can be used to a lesser degree, as Tessai used it on Ichigo to not pin him down on the ground, but simply bind his arms to his back with the spiritual fabric and iron shafts.[30]
Incantation: Unknown; although Shinji Hirako hinted that there is an incantation.

xXZanpaktouXxZanpaktou Name: Yamagiri
Zanpaktou Meaning: It's not Japanese... I think
Zanpaktou Spirit: |A female in black clothing. Her face is not visable, nor is anything else. All that is able to be seen in a black cloak.
Yamagiri has a strong will to survive and be solitary and independent. But little seems to be left for him in the world and his once strongly convicted personality has sunk into depression and anger. Yamagiri is lashing out at a world that has betrayed him. He waves his middle finger at the sky and survives only to spite the cruel fates that have made a hypocrite out of him and out of his long and now wasted, at least he think so, life. His former views of justice have been shattered. He is at a stage where he doesn’t know what to believe or trust in but himself and the here and now. Yamagiri is living just to live, not knowing why or how and even caring.
Before the crash, before the trying events that shaped the formation of his hollow and his hatred, Yamagiri was a different individual. Though a compulsive loner and a strict and sever individual to the core, his life was consumed by a selfless practice… the exacting of his personal justice. He was little loved by his subordinates of old because he rarely gave them any direction whatsoever, infact it may have even been appropriate to call him a selfish individual. But all Yamagiri cared about was ridding the world of any evil that he found to be present, even if it meant being alone…. even if it meant sneaking off at all hours of the night… even if it meant, in the end, going against the very laws of soul society. And know you must understand, how amazingly torn apart Yamagiris world was… when his justice was ripped apart by his own hypocrisy, by betrayal… and by the growth of evil within his very own soul.
Zanpaktou Realm: A Baron Iceland
Zanpakuto Type: Ice & Mist
Zanpakuto Shikai Release Form:Chill, Yamagiri! The Zanpakuto is nothing special, it has nothing special about it at all. It is a normal Katana. Though it can be described in depth.
The Hilt is about 6 inches long, and 3 inches wide, wrapped in blue colored silk. The silk is soft and elegant, reflecting something a king would have. It feels nice in Hayami's hand, as it should. The silk is wrapped tightly and making thin diamond markings on the hilt.
The Gaurd is not special either, it is just an outward-pointing star around the hilt. While it is sealed, it is made of pure gold, and is dull at the ends of the points of the star. It has a design on the blade, that makes it look as though it were made of ice.
White Wave - Taking a battle stance as the fog begins to billow up in front of him. It builds up and then fires toward the target in a massive, powerful pure-white wave of ice from the fog, in turn encasing the target and anything in the path into a block of ice. Costs 7SP
Condense – Condensing the fog, Yamagiri can turn the very air into a pillar, block or sphere like ice wall. By forming it in front of him, he can use it as a blocking technique, or by forming it above an opponents head, he can cause icicles to rain down on his opponent. In shikai, it takes all of the fog to produce said walls, blocks and such Costs 5SP
Zanpakuto Bankai Release Form: Yamagiri. The blade in bankai takes it first and final transformation. A thick cloud of fog covers the sword, which is floating in the air. The fog is quickly attracted to her blade, and is absorbed. The fog then replaces the metal particles inside of the blade, transforming the blade into solid ice. It's rigid at some points, dull and others. It is completly blue and is not breakable. This ice is so cold, that not even fire is able to melt it, as it would simply freeze the fire.
The hilt goes through a nice transformation as well. Instead of being wrapped in silk, it is wrapped and layered with ice. Like Hayami's brother, Hakudoshi, the ice wraps around her hands to keep a firm grip on the sword. The ice doesnt bother Hayami at all, as it is her element and she is use to it. Though she still has no idea her brother's Zanpakutou did the same... Along with the hild being composed of ice, Hayami is able to control the sharpness of her very own blade. She can will it to be dull, and it shall. She can will it to be sharp, and it will.
White Wave - Taking a battle stance as the fog begins to billow up in front of him. It builds up and then fires toward the target in a massive, powerful pure-white wave of ice from the fog, in turn encasing the target and anything in the path into a block of ice. Enhanced in Bankai. Still costs 12 SP
Condense – Condensing the fog, Yamagiri can turn the very air into a pillar, block or sphere like ice wall. By forming it in front of him, he can use it as a blocking technique, or by forming it above an opponents head, he can cause icicles to rain down on his opponent. Enhanced now it's in bankai. 7SP
Freezing Grip - Hayami is able to grab or touch anything with her Zanpakutou/Hands, and it will slowly begin to freeze. This can be used to defend herself, or to attack. 7SP
Ice Manipulation - Hayami is able to completely control Ice using any type of moisture available. She can also create ice from her blade and manipulate that, as well. 0SP, this is her natural ability.
xXRoleplay SampleXxOH! What an oxymoron! It's so beautiful, yet
deadly! Hayami exclaimed, commenting on the ice-kido. As
beautiful as it is, she would simply have to reduce it to nothing but
water. She held out her hand, and sighed, and spoke softly, Kongobaku which let loose a powerful kido, that
burned the ice, and left a puddle of water on the ground. Hayami clapped
before doing her next move, and she smiled as well.
I must say, i didn't know of anyone else who knew that
spell! Well! Done! Hayami said, enthusiastically. Being the
ex-captain of the Combat Division, she use to be horrible at kido,
though throughout her years as a Vizard, she trained herself in the
arts, frequently going to Kisuke for help and the such. She had
perfected most everything having to do with kido, except for those damn
forbidden spells. She tried those a few times, only to have them
backfire, and seriously injure her.
She thought of her next
attack, and though of using her mask or maybe even bankai. She wasn't
sure. She didn't want to flaunt her power around like an animal, and she
didn't really wanna hold back. She could tell that this one was
obviously very good at Kido, and she knew that kido was dangerous to not
care about, especially when its being used against her. In the midst of
her thought, she looked over at her brother, and smiled. She also
noticed Kinen was here, and was obviously attacking Natsumi. She grinned
Doing well, brother! And don't hurt her too bad,
Kinen! she shouted with glee.
She focused her attention
back to the Shinigami. Is there no reason as to why
we shouldn't speak during our battle? I must say, conversing during a
battle is actually fun. It adds to the battle in my opinion. ... Hmm ...
will you excuse me for a moment? Hayami asked with a broad
smile. She held out her shikai in front of her, and grabbed her right
forearm with her left hand. ]Ban-KAI! she
shouted, as a light-red reiatsu engulfed her. How odd... Her Reiatsu was
usually black when she went bankai.
And that's not all, her
Bankai WASN'T black! Nor was her tensa coat!
UHH!
What is going on here?! Why in the hell in my bankai WHITE?! Imayah! I
don't want you're zanpakutou, you obnoxious Hollow! How did you manage
to switch! Nor do i want YOUR tensa coat! Ughh, I have no idea how
you've accomplished the switch, but no matter... I might not want it,
but it really is beautiful. And if i remember our battle, Imayah, you're
Zanpakutou - even if it is the same - was stronger than my
Zanpakutou... So i guess i shouldn't really complain... And, i guess the
speed boost is all i really went into bankai for, anyway. Not for any
colors... Hayami said out loud.
She then looked wide-eyed
at Kal, and began to crack up. Oh my! I'm sorry! It
seems i was thinking out loud... Forgive me if you would! Hayami
said, continuing to laugh. Slowly, little by little, she calmed herself.
Her zanpakutou was still in her right hand, and she looked at Kal with
all seriousness now.
Meet Tensa Zangetsu. My
beautiful sword. Hayami said, introducing her new - white -
zanpakutou. She slashed her sword forward, and said simply Getsuga Tenshou and a red getsuga flung from her
blade - exactly as it had from her black Zangetsu, only this time, this
getsuga tenshou was slightly more dangerous than her other one - this
one being faster, and more powerful than that of the Black Getsuga
Tenshou.
Hayami laughed as the Tenshou was still connected with
her blade as it went flying towards Kal..[/color]
