Kyouteki couldn't believe his luck, there walking below him was one of his biggest annoyances. He hated Ronin, he did not know why, but he had always hated him. He laughed, appearing right in front of Ronin. He drew his zanpaktou, smirking.
"You! I have been looking for you! I hate you, you hear me!? I HATE YOU!!"
He charged at Ronin, swinging his zanpaktou repeatedly.

Ronin's eyes widened, seeing Kyouteki just appear before him. He heard what he said, not really sure what brought this on. He was about to reply when he saw Kyouteki run at him. He activated his bankai, his close combat ability immediately activating. He blocked all the strikes, appearing behind Kyouteki and starting his counter attack. He glared, his strikes increasing in speed.
"Well I'm not too fond of you either! What the hell did I do to you anyway!? What's your problem!?"
He growled, taking a powerful swing at his opponent.

Kyouteki blocked all the strikes, the last one sending him skidding backward. He laughed insanely, looking to Ronin.
"I do not know myself why, I just know that I must destroy you! You are a threat to my mistress so you must be eliminated!"
He released his spiritual pressure, running at Ronin once more. He swung several times a varying speeds, the last one containing the most power behind it.

Ronin dodged the slashes, using both his blades to block the last strike. The ground beneath his feet began to crumble, creating a crater. His eyes blazed with fire, looking at Kyouteki.
"I don't care what you have to say! If you want a fight, I'll give you one!"
His rage erupted, overriding his close combat ability. His blades ignited, a pillar of fire erupting around him which forced Kyouteki to back away from him.
"Come on trash! You wanted a fight.... WELL LET'S GO!"

As Yuri walked down the streets, all she could think about is what she overheard. Now that Captain Ryouji and Captain Unohana were going to be an item, it meant that he wouldn't be able to train with her as much as he wanted to. Does that mean she'll never get the chance to control her inner Hollow? Sighing, Yuri comes to a stop near a light pole as she sees two figures. That's ronin.. and the Arrancar that attacked Nori and I when we were training.. It would be best if I just stayed out of the way.. If it comes to a point he needs help, I'll do what I can..

Kyouteki laughed, bringing his sword up into a unique stance. He narrowed his eyes, speaking a single word.
"Avalancha!"
Kyouteki began to transform, his mask extending fully over his right side. His hand became like a shield, his blade merging with his left hand. He laughed, running at Ronin much faster then before. He swung the blade at Ronin, laughing.
"This is the end for you!"

Ronin's eyes widened, dodging most of the slashes, barely. The last slash caught his arm, causing his ability to activate. His increased combat ability pulsed through him. He slashed at Kyouteki's arm, trying to get him to back away. He smirked, merging his two blades into one.
"Alright... let's try this one more time!"
He ran at Kyouteki, swinging his sword more comfortably. He smiled, one of the few times ever in his life. As he kept fighting, his smile turned into a laugh. It was as if fighting made him feel alive.

As Yuri kept watching the fight, she recalled what Nori said. He had made mention that Ronin truly seemed alive while fighting, and she got to see it with her own eyes. AFter all, each person has their own unique ways of being happy. As of right now, the two seem to be equal to one another. Maybe there was no point in her staying. Then again, this is just the distraction she needed from her main problem.

Kyouteki grinned, actually enjoying himself. He blocked the slash with his shield arm, jabbing at Ronin with his blade. Since he had struck Ronin, it seemed like he increased his abilities. He kept slashing, knowing the longer this dragged out, the greater the chance he would be discovered. He managed to cut Ronin a few more times.
"This is fun, but it's time to finish this!"

Each strike made Ronin's combat ability increase. He was starting to get worried, as his power was starting to get too high. He slashed several times, driving Kyouteki back. He ran at Kyouteki, bringing his foot into his gut. He quickly was smashed in the face with the shield. He growled, his combat ability surging again.
"This needs to end, others will come... I want to be the one to defeat you!"

Seeing the worried look on Ronin's face, Yrui decided it was time to intervine. He could be angry at her for all she cared, but he knew that it would be out of concern. Unsheathing her Zanpakutou and speaking its Shikai command, Yuri quickly runs to them, skidding in front of Ronin, holding her Swallow ready in case Kyou was going to attack. "How come you get all the fun things? It's no fair.. Your friend has been looking for you so.. The least I can do is keep you safe from harm"

Ronin shifted his eyes to Yuri, smirking slightly. He looked back at Kyouteki, speaking so only Yuri could hear him.
"If you get hurt, I'm going to have to put up with your Captain.... so if anyone of us gets hurt, we go to my place"
He smirked again, not really minding the help as the negative effect was going to leave him in pretty bad shape.

Kyouteki scoffed, looking at them. He shook his head, looking to Yuri.
"Trying to protect your boyfriend? How sweet..... don't make me gag!"
He swung his zanpaktou, sending a wave of ice at them. He was now more than nervous, knowing that since there were three of them now, it would attract a lot of Shinigami. He mad a rip in the sky scoffing.
"My fight is with him, not you, next time, you may watch, but not join."
He stepped through the rip, heading back to Los Noches.

Yuri became somewhat agitated from hearing him mention her captain, but foced more on the task at hand whent he wave of ice came their way. She stayed in front of Ronin to protect him from it. The cold sensation came over her, causing hte Shinigami to drop her weapon and soon drop to her knees from being cold. Slowly shifting her eyes to Ronin, giving a small smile to see that he's okay. "Yeah.. your place sounds...great.."

Ronin smirked, reverting to normal. He winced, the effect of his Bankai taking its toll. He forced himself to ignore his pain, picking up Yuri. He slowly walked to her zanpaktou and picked it up. After handing it to her, he headed slowly to his house. He looked to her, keeping her against him slightly to warm her.
"Why did you help me? I just want to know... most of your kind doesn't like me.... so I need to know why...."

Yuri blinked as she was picked up by Ronin, holding onto her Zanpakutou. Tilting her head to the side from his curiousity about why she helped him. Maybe because he just didn't meet the right Shinigami yet.. The least she could do for his kindness was to answer his question. "I guess.. Some Shinigami have put thier past as humans behind them.. They may consider thins that happen here none of thier business other than to defeat Hollows.. But not all Shinigami are bad.."
Well, that wasn't the answer she really want to give. Time for try number two. "What I mean is.. I still care for the living world.. Be the person alive, a Plus, or a fellow Shinigami.. I wouldn't think twice about giving up my life to protect them.. Of course you might ask why protect people you don't know.. It's simple.." A small smile came across her face as she looks up to him. "Everything and everyone deserves the right to live.."

Ronin smiled as she spoke. He neared his house, still holding close to warm her. He entered his house, moving to his room. He laid her on his bed, putting a few covers over her. He then went back into his body, sitting beside her.
"It's glad to see not all of your kind are so.... uncaring. I fight because I feel it is right. also, for some reason, I am drawn to combat..."
He sighed, slumping into the chair. He shifted his eyes to her, then looking out the window. He kept thinking about the Arrankar he just fought. Something bothered him about him, but he did not know why.

Yuri Looks over to Ronin, seeing the injuries he go in the small fight. She tries to sit up in order to tend to him, but the covers that were placed on her and her still feeling a bit cold made her lie back down. Huffing, she looks back over to Ronin, seeing slumped in his chair. "Hey.. Take care of yourself too.. those injuries should be taken care of.."

Ronin shifted his eyes to her, humoring her by taking care of his wounds. He then flopped beside her on the bed. He smirked, ruffling her hair.
"Got your Gigai? Might want to rest up a little. Also are you still cold?"
He shifted his eyes to her, a little worried as he rested on the bed. He closed his eyes, relaxing slightly.

BLushing from Ronin Ruffling her Hair, Yuri shook her head from side to side when he mentioned her Gigai. "It's back at the shop.. I didn't think something like this would happen so eh heh... I left it.." Now, she was blushing more out of embarrassment. She did feel a little warm, but shivered which probably answered his question about still becoming cold. Still, she tried to pass it off. "I'm okay.. Don't worry about me.."

Ronin smirked, flicking her cheek as he put another blanket on her. He was going to make sure she got better since she took the hit for him. He was starting to consider her something near a friend, so he was going to worry about her. He then flopped down beside her again, looking at the ceiling.
"Don't lie to me... I know you are still cold....
He shifted his eyes to her, wondering why she was blushing. He shrugged, smirking lightly to himself.

Yuri smiles as he placed another blanket on her. Maybe he wasn't as bad as she thought. "Okay okay.. Guess I can't fool you.." Closing her eyes, she was trying to rest and conserve her strength. Oddly, she felt at ease being her. For now, she can somewhat relax without worrying too much. "I can't remember if I told you my name or not.. but it's Yuri.. Nori mentioned your name when he was concerned that you were gone for so long.."

Post by Ronin on Jan 1, 2008 19:54:08 GMT -5
Ronin shrugged, shifting his eyes to her again. He noticed she was relaxing, which was good for her strength recovery. He smirked when she said Nori told her his name.
"Yuri is it? That's a nice name.... short too.... Nice to meet you.... officially...."
He shifted his eyes out the window, still wondering about the Arrancar. He shrugged, resting on the bed beside her.

Yuri could feel herlef starting to nod off. when she dozed off for just a second, her eyes opened quickly, sighing when she realized what happened. She smiled when Ronin said it was nice to meet her. It was night to meet him as well. "If I remember right.. Ronin means..Wanderer, right? I hope you find what you're looking for.." She just couldn't stay awake anymore. the warmth of the blankets were making it very difficult to stay awake. This time when her eyes closed, it was for the rest of the night, sleeping off whatever coldness that was left.

Ronin looked st her, smiling as he saw her asleep. He laid down beside her, closing his eyes as well. He sighed, hearing her words in his head again.
"I just ...... don't know what I am looking for....."
He sighed, eventually drifting to sleep.

When the sunlight from the window hit her eyes, Yuri slowly wakes up. As her eyes adjusted, she looks over to Ronin who was still asleep. Getting out under the covers, Yurin starts to fold them, placing them on the floor as she moves the original cover over Ronin. She would try to make breakfast but that probably wouldn't go too well since she's not in a gigai. Feeling a little frustrated, she takes her Zanpakutou, transforming it back to normal (If it hadn't already), sheathing it.
Though still feeling slightly sluggish, Yuri felt a lot better than she did last night. Sitting in the chair, she leans back, keeping her balance at first, rocking a little. It wasn't before too long where the chair falsl back and she hits her head on his dresser, nearly shrieking from the blow to the head. "Th..that hurt!"

Post by Ronin on Jan 1, 2008 20:22:08 GMT -5
Ronin jumped from the shriek, falling out of the bed and onto his face. He shifted his eyes to her, rubbing his nose.
"What happened? Are you alright?"
He sat up, fixing his bed. He picked her up, placing her on the bed. He looked at where she hit her head, making sure she wasn't injured. He ruffled her hair, sitting next to her. He smirked, shifting his eyes to her.
"You feeling better from last night?"

Yuri blinked as she watched Ronin fall flat on his face, trying her best not to laugh she reassures him that she's just fine. Well, from the fall at least. "I just hit my head on your dresser.. And I do feel a bit better from last night. Just a little slow in rection is all.. Anyway, how did you sleep?"

Post by Ronin on Jan 1, 2008 20:35:02 GMT -5
Ronin smirked, stretching a little.
"I slept alright, how about you?"
He looked to her, seeing something was bothering her. He decided not to press it just yet, ruffling her hair again.
"You hungry? I know I am, what would you like to eat?"

Post by Yuri Nakayama on Jan 1, 2008 20:41:58 GMT -5
Now that he mentioned it, food does sound like a good idea. "But without a Gigai, I don't think it would be a good idea to go out to eat.. Maybe if we stay here?" She wouldn't mind either way. It's just that she doesn't want to return to the Candy shop just yet. It would be her luck that Ryou and Retsu are sstill outside, talking. Just thinking of it made her feel a little uneasy. But since she was with Ronin, she'll have to be careful of her expressions.
"To be honest, I'm just a bit lazy.. I don't want to go to the Candy store to get my Gigai.."
