On his own

[Ronin]

It was then that Ronin made a decision that he had been thinking over in his head. It was something that he had been putting off for a while. Once he was finished here, he was not going to go back to the shop. Ronin was done with his Captain, he was going to his house and he was going to stay there. As she had said before, she didn't need him, he was an annoyance to her. He looked around, suddenly seeing someone out of the corner of his eye. He flash stepped toward the person, only to be met halfway. He narrowed his eyes, readying both his swords. He swung them at his opponent, having the fans parry his strikes. Suddenly, his flame shield sprang up on his left, spinning to block the wind strike and continuing to block a strike with both fans with his other sword.

"You picked the wrong day to mess with me... wait... your clothes... You're a Shinigami, so why are you fighting me?"

[shinkaze]

Upon hearing Ronin call him a Shinigami, Shin activated his Bankai. As he saw Ronin do the same, he watched his swords turn into giant wrist swords. He twirled his pear around him, smirking.

"I was one of them, but not anymore. I want them gone! Their rules, there are flaws in them. They do not want to change them they keep them the same and do nothing about the gray areas in the situations. That is why they must be destroyed! Soul Society needs to be restarted from scratch! Now get out of my way!"

He swung his spear, nearly blowing Ronin away. As his opponent was unbalanced, He ran at him and thrust his spear at Ronin. The strike was deflected, causing him to smirk lightly.

"Impressive, you are very fast. But you are still much slower than I am!"

He flash stepped once, appearing directly in front of Ronin. He then kicked him up into the air, preforming several flash steps while slashing and stabbing him with his spear. He then knocked Ronin to the ground, landing beside him. He smirked, seeing if his opponent could still fight.

[Ronin]

Ronin struggled as best he could to get up, battered b the barrage of attacks he just experienced. He managed to push himself halfway up when he fell back down. He was bleeding pretty bad, his vision blurring. Suddenly, his normally red flame aura turned completely black. The spiritual pressure in the area dramatically increased as Ronin instantly got to his feet. He turned to his opponent, his eyes green instead of their normal color.

"So this is the one that has forced me to make us survive. He seems kind of pathetic, but then again, so are you. Hmmm, wind is your skill, that means it is time to step things up..."

'Ronin' suddenly reverted back to his Shikai, speaking a release that was a mixture of both of his Bankai releases. Both wrist swords appeared on his left arm, his axe appearing in his right hand. He smirked, readying himself.

"Come on, or is that spear just for show?"

[shinkaze]

Shin blinked as he saw Ronin get up. Something was different, but he did not know what it was. He growled, listening to what was said.

"I'll show you who's pathetic!"

He thrust his spear at Ronin in a quick and disciplined fashion. He growled as Ronin merely shifted slightly to avoid each thrust, minimizing his energy expenditure. As he continued to attack, it seemed like he was fighting a completely different fighter. He spun the spear around, a fan springing out near the blade. Shin swung the spear a few times, sending wind blades at Ronin. Ronin swung his arms out, blades of fire colliding with the wind blades. Shin then swung down his spear, only to have it caught between the four blades. As Ronin swung his axe, Shin freed his spear and flash stepped away.

"This isn't over! I will return to finish this!"

As Ronin flash stepped to intercept him, Shin was already gone. His Bankai ability made him much faster than any Shinigami when it came to movement speed.By the time Ronin got to where he was, Shin was already on the other end of town.

[Ronin]

'Ronin' scoffed, shrugging lightly. He then reverted to his normal form, walking toward town. It was then when he decided it was time to hand control back over to the Ronin everyone knew.

"You are pathetic boy, weak, reckless, and you do not listen. You have grown up a little bit but not enough. If you do not listen you may just get us into a situation that even I can not get us out of! You may have a death wish, but I prefer to remain alive! The choice is yours!"

Ronin staggered the wounds still bleeding considerably. He made his way back to his house, not wanting to be near his Captain. As far as he was concerned, he wanted nothing to do with her or her cause. As she had put it earlier, she did not really need him anyway.
