The flames in Ronin's eyes pulsed, his rage increasing his spiritual pressure. The pressure was enough to slow her two minion to a slow walk, but he was not concerned with them, He was concerned with his former Captain. His rage grew, his spiritual presure kept raising, his rage fueling his power.
"You want to fight me so bad? Make a move! Unless you are scared...."

Shukumei stood there watching and waiting. Feeling the rise of his spiritual power. A small smirk formed to her face, it was quite pathetic that he assumes or would even say she's scared. The fool was clueless.
The constant release of his spiritual pressure would only leave him weakened in the end yet he uses it to intimidate, as if Shukumei could be intimidated at all. She has always been known to keep her cool without having to resort to such flashy tactics but if Ronin wanted to intimidate, Shukumei was about to demonstrate how to do it properly.
"If you wanted to compare spiritual pressure you should have just asked. I'll be more than willing to show you that you're still insignificant compared to me, but answer me this, when I've unleashed my spiritual pressure, have you ever noticed the chains around this luxurious figure of mine?" The smirk she wore turned wicked and it was a technique Shukumei came up with upon first becoming a Captain.

Ronin laughed, still not showing all of his true power. He looked to her, shaking his head.
"The chains, yes, but luxurious body? We are talking about you, right? there is nothing attractive about you! You must be delierious or something"
He readied himself, wanting his former Captain to take him seriously rather than assume that he was weak.

She was forced to chuckle at the sad comeback but it was to be expected, little did he know what the chains were truly for but he was about to learn. "Did it take you all day to come up with that one Ronin? Not that it matters, for once I am done, you shan't have any room to make lame jokes this I assure you. The chains conceal much of my spiritual pressure, those who have a strong sense of spirit energy can see them" Shukumei's body began to glow brightly until she became engulfed in a spirit aura.
She certainly hoped Ronin was prepared for what awaited him once she released the spirit chains. Without releasing a single chain she forced out all of her available spiritual pressure. "Spirit Chain one of seven...release" The first of seven spirit chain broke away quickly giving her access to more of her own spiritual pressure The aura began to flicker and grow stronger as she stood there. The wicked grin still worn on her face as she tapped into the last ammount of the spirit energy concealed by the chain.
"Sprit Chains two and three of seven release!" Both of the spirit chain's snapped away thus releasing a great deal more of her spiritual power. The spiritual pressure she originally release doubled causing the ground to rumble softly. She began to chuckle at the feel of releasing spiritual pressure she has yet never accessed beyond the first chain. "Two chains is far more than you can bare for certain, but I am not going to stop here. No you deserve better than three of seven. Spirit Chain's Four and Five of Seven...release" The ground in the surrounding area began to shake much harder than at before.
The shape of her aura had changed and it formed it self into a huge flame. The feel in her spiritual pressure trippled and on a huge scale. The air thickened under the pressure she was releasing constantly. "Can you feel how even without my bankai my strength makes you an insignificant speck? Now for the finale; Spirit Chain, Six of Seven...release!!" The aura towered above her and her spiritual pressure was strong enough to flatten strong and weak shinigami alike and this was all without Bankai. The ground beneath her cracked open from the sheer surge of pressure.
She looked at Ronin and the grin had changed to an evil smile. Honestly She tilted her head back slightly and sighed. The sigh seemed much darker than her usual voice "Are you prepared to meet your superior...Ronin?" She knew good and well the risks of using this much spiritual pressure, it would bring more than its fair share of attention to her location, but she did not care, the only thing she wanted was to ensure that Ronin learned his place in this world.

Ronin smiled, looking to his former Captain. He then shook his head, looking away.
"To be honest, you would look a lot better without that smirk, it does nothig for you. Now that delicate smile you wore when I first was assigned to your squad, THAT made you look good. Anyway, the way you were going on about your powers, I was expecting....... well more. This feels like a gentle spring breeze.... I'm not as weak as you think I am, so do me a favor, Stop treating me like a kid, I know your Bankai is stronger than mine at the moment, but right now, I am still more powerful than you are. The one thing you taught me was not to hold back in battle.... so why is it that you are holding back now?"

Shukumei shook her head slowly from side to side. He still fails to realize what he's gotten himself into, not that it matters really, she honestly did not care what he thought, as long as he knew deep down that he had a zero percent chance of enduring this battle from start to finish. "Quite the clever one aren't we. You are a child in my eyes, children have a tendency to forget who their superiors are, you are no different. This gentle breeze is about to become a tornado of envy and pain. Think of it this way Ronin, if I was to unleash my Bankai in this state, you would be killed, no matter how much fluff you allow to escape your lips. Be thankful that I am generous enough to allow you to live to see tomorrow"
She giggled before straightening herself up and sliding her legs apart She lifted off her heals slowly, performing a very quick flash step, she appeared in front of Ronin with her left arm extended outward. Her fist closed tightly before she planted into the center of his face with a great deal of her released spiritual power behind it.

Ronin took a few steps back, rubbing his cheek beofre his spiritual pressure increased again. He knew he could not beat her, not wihout his Bankai's ability killing him in the process. He smirked, hitting her back just as hard as she hit him.
"Even you know you cannot beat me without releasing your Zanpaktou. You know your Shikai is needed in order to fight me and actually hurt me. I know I cannot beat you, that is not my purpose. They say you learn a lot about someone by how their actions play out in battle. I simply want my question answered, so please.... your Shikai....."
He wanted to know the full reason behind his former Captain's betrayal. She had told him part of it, but he suspected more was behind it. Since she would not tell him, this was the only way to find out.

Was he serious, the fact that he wanted her to raise her strength even more was ludicrous at best. She extended her hand out, calling for her Zanpakuto which reacted by jumping into her hands. She pulled it out of its sheath and started at the sword. Growing tired of his elitist attitude, she was going to do one better. "Forget Shikai, I shall unleash my Bankai and end this. You were warned fool" She extends the blade out in front of her, pointing it directly at Ronin. With her left hand, she grips her for arm tightly. Her eyes began to glow a bright blue from the ammount of energy that flowed from the Zanpakuto, meshing with her own freed strength "Ban...kai" With an explosion, Shukumei's body disappeared within a huge flame of spiritual energy. Her Zanpakuto disappeared and reformed into four traditional Japanese Harisen fans which floated around her body. Her attire had changed resembling that of a qipao only much shorter in length. Once the enourmous aura faded she stood there looking at Ronin with the Harisen fans rotating around her body. Her spiritual pressure had increased ten fold from what it had already grown to from the releasing of her spirit chains. As two of the fans pass around the front of her body she grabs them quickly and spreads them apart, revealing the traditional japanese markings. "There is nothing further to discuss, I shall try my hardest not to kill you today, but I promise you nothing, you want an answer and a serious one...to kill all who deny me the respect I deserve. The blow you shall be delt will give you the very same answer, only instead of hearing it, you will feel it for yourself, my brother and every other pathetic Shinigami"
She crossed her arms over her chest, forming what appears to be an X while the harisen fans are opened fully. Using her spiritual pressure she forced open the remaining two fans which continued to float around her body. Before stopping and aligning themselves with the two fans she held in her hands. She was prepared to lay waste to her former lieutenant without thinking about it however her intent to wound him seriously was not murderous, just so that he can finally grasp that he is now and shall always be second in strength and skill.

Ronin smiled, finally about to get his answer. He readied himsef, waiting for her attack.
"Are you deaf as well as thickheaded? I already told you that I knew I was weaker than you.... Geez... you think I am retarded.... I had nothing but respect for you! I tried my hardest to get strong, wanting your approval! Nothing I did was ood enough, no matter how hard I tried. I guess somewhere along the line I just stopped trying.... I'm sorry if that is what caused you to become like this.... but never once did I hear from you 'Nice work' or 'Good job'.... I respected you and the power you held.... I did my best to try to meet your standards, I am sorry I failed you..... Captain....."

Shukumei gripped the two harisen tighter while looking at Ronin, the fact that she never once told him nice job was what angered him. Was this some sort of ploy to throw her off guard? In any case it wasn't going to work. "Aww poor baby? Do you want me to make you lunch and kiss your boo-boos when you get them also? Give me a break!" She was attempting to make it perfectly clear that Ronin failed himself for she never truly had any expectations since the first day they met. "You never respected me or my strength Ronin, for if you had you would have followed my orders without question. Your 'I do what I want attitude' failed you, not me; for I never really expected much from you. Why because you are a males are inferior to me"
She giggled again before raising the harisen fan in her left hand up to her face while raising the right harisen up into the air by extending her arm. "I don't even have a place in my brother's life. The one person who fought to protect me always has chosen his blue haired cutiepie over me" She closed her eyes as she smiled although the smile itself was hidden behind the harisen. She lowered her right arm and turned the fan rightside up to where the markings were parallel with the ground. With a upward thrust she created a very powerful gust of wind aiming it in Ronin's direction.

[Note: Filler Only; In No Way Meant To Interupt This Line.]
Rei came out of his flash-step at a distance, the level of Reiatsu nearby on par with Bankai. Watching with interest the characters standing eachother off away from him, the woman waves her fan, causing a wave of wind to wash over her opponant, that dawned on him, was his own ex-lieutenant.
Remaining where he stands, on the policy that to interfere would most likely be dire for his squad-sub-leader. The Captain's kimono tied at his right leg flutters roughly in the wind, his reiatsu surpressed as much as is possible, attempting to remain off radar, he didn't wish to surprise them.
Keeping a watchful eye on the scene, the phone in his robes vibrates. Taking a look on screen, the number states it to be Kiba calling, and rather than answer, he turns the phone off. His attention firmly on Shukumei Onigata, he finally recognised her, his ex captain, though he was missing at the time, he knew that she had taken over from Aizen when his master left them.

Ronin flash-stepped a considerable distance, sighing lightly. He then readied both his blades for combat. He then shook his head, looking to her.
"If you actually paid any attention to what I had done, you would realize I did what you told me. You told me to preform tasks, you never once told me how to do it... The fact that you never told me a specific way to compete the task and did not complete it the way you thought was best doesn't mean I did not follow your orders. I did not fail myself, I am quite happy with how i turned out. In part I must thank you for it... I kept trying to please you so I trained myself vigorously. It is a shame I must fight you... it really is... one more question if you will, Why did you not ask me to help you? I would have, you are right, things in soul society must change...."
He then narrowed his eyes, the flames on his blades burning brighter. He swung both blades, sending two waves of fie toward her.

She chuckled before using her right hand to decipate the flames as they approached her. She tilted her head to the side upon hearing the final comment he made and was forced to utter a chuckle Shukumei had to be careful however, she could not say anything that would cause her to give away her plans "You served your purpose. Showing me what human shinigami are capable of...you've served me well Ronin good job" She began to giggle again before lifting off of the heels of her feet to perform a flash step. Upon appearing in front to her, she bent the tips of her fingers downward, resting them on the top of her palm. She thrusted the open palm into his chin.
Upon bringing her hand back she released both Harisen and thrusted both hands forward into his chest pushing him backwards. "I'll make a deal with you. If you return to the shop and tell my brother that I wish to meet with him alone. IF you can do without screwing it up. I shall reconsider your position and offer you a place as my fifth. Or there is the alternative. You can stay and be beaten...The choice is pretty simple. Choose!"

Ronin staggered back a little, looking to her. His eyes filled with rage, his spiritual pressure increasing again. He laughed a little, putting his two blades together to form a bigger sword. He narrowed his eyes, looking to her.
"I'll make it to the shop, but there is one more question, and there is only one way to get it. So prepare yourself, this flame cannot be disapated like the first ones...."
He flash stepped behind her, kicking her into the air. His blade pulsed, then ignited as he focused his rage into the blade. He prepared to swing his sword, growling.
"Flaming Sword of Battle!"
He swung his sword at her, sending a massive wave of fire toward her at an incredible speed.

After being kicked into the air, Shukumei rotated her body around to the point where she was facing the massive flame. She narrowed her eyes slowly before having the idea come to her of what to do next. She performed a back tuck before extending her body out completely. She hurled herself down to meet the flame head on. "Foolish boy, you have yet to realize it but you're as good as defeated" Upon nearing the flame she spread her arms out quickly and opened her hands quickly, calling for the Harisen fans, they quickly jumped into her hands. She began to spin around quickly, using the ability to create and direct wind. She formed a tornado around her body before forcing it forward to collide with the flame. She waited until the flame and tornado connected before performing a mid-air flash step down onto the ground with the harisen in hand tightly. She lowered her head slightly and performed a flash step which propelled her forward. Shukumei then appeared behind Ronin, with her right arm extended out in front of her and the harisen opened fully as if she had already completed a slashing attack. She closed the fan slowly and before the two ends could meet she snapped it shut. She looked back in time to see blood eject itself from the opening she left on Ronin's chest before reappearing behind him.
She chuckled slightly before walking up behind him and slapping the back of his head "No one would believe that you left this battle without a wound so I inflicted one upon you. Now go to Urahara's and get yourself patched up and tell my brother to meet me 'where the ground meets the sky' He will know where it is. When the time is right, I shall come for you personally. If you fail me again Ronin, the next time we meet, I won't be so gracious...now get going" She once again turned her back to Ronin before performing her own flash step away from the current area only to truly appear a few meters from where she originally stood.
As she walked, the spirit aura decipated and her spirit chains began to re attach themselves to one another now that she wasn't forcing out a tremendous ammount of spiritual pressure. Her Zanpakuto returned to normal and she quickly jammed it into its sheath before falling down onto her knees. She coughed harshly only for blood to follow. "I over did it...this time" She coughed up more blood before using the back side her now heavily bandaged arm to wipe the blood from around her mouth and lips. She slowly stood up and staggered forward, moving to the place where the ground, meets the sky.
