Now that mostly everyone had gathered Ryouji shook his head, it seems like every other day someone was wanting to fight with him, while he has done his best to avoid fighting with Shiori, he couldn't ignore the requests or the need any further, he didn't like beating up on his daughters at all, in fact it annoyed him to no end but they were always wanting to test their strength against his own. Now his granddaughter wanted in too and she was only six years old or so.
The fact that she was willing to fight with him told Ryouji that little Saya was strong, but how strong, he couldn't gauge. She was the Shizune's child after all and the future Shizune is one of the strongest opponents he's ever faced. He glanced over to Saya who was all smiles while she was stretching she was even giggling. She was way to calm, even his own daughters were nervous, she was...happy.
He then turned his attention to Shiori who was just...standing there, no excitement...there was just a blank look on her face. He called out to her to get her attention...but she didn't answer him, for the first time ever, Shiori didn't acknowledge that her father had even spoke to her. Now he knew that something was truly bothering her.
"Hey grandpa!! Don't worry about Auntie Shiori, we can play until she's ready. Now I don't want you holding back because I'm little, I want you to come at me with everything you have, okay? Promise me!!"
Ryouji rubbed the back of his head, if he did that he would hurt her, but the fact that she was so calm about it told me she was trained very well but by who. Usually when a pupil is fought, they show signs of the one who trained them. He didn't train future Shizune, in fact she learned mostly everything she knows from the Future Yuri, who he did train. It was going to be interesting for sure.
"Are you sure, Saya? I don't know if you've heard but I am pretty strong, I wouldn't want to cause you injury."
Saya nodded, she wouldn't want her grandpa holding back, it wouldn't be fair to him because she won't be, she's going in for the win for sure and she'll make her family proud today! After all she does have her two biggest secrets on her side! One of which she was told by her father, mother and her Aunt not to use, but that only meant the other she could use as she pleased.
"I'm sure! My mom and Aunt told me all about how strong you were. They've also told me that you always hold back. If you hold back, I'll be mad at you!"
Ryouji chuckled, even if she didn't want him to, he would regardless. He'll just have to do his best to seem as if he's not holding back.
Saya turned to her mother and smirked. Shizune returned the smirk with one of her own. She knew full well what Saya wanted and the fact that she was practically begging for Ryouji to come at her with everything he has was to test how strong she was in comparison.
Ryouji thrusted his sheathed Zanpakutou into the ground and turned to Saya. He nodded and asked if she was ready. She nodded and giggled. She was so excited!
Ryouji nodded in return and ran at her at full speed as he neared her he skidded over to her and thrusted his fist forward to punch her. Everyone looked away to avoid having to see what that punch was going to do to Saya, she didn't even flinch.
Azumi stood up instantly and covered her mouth. Why would he do such a thing. He's going to kill her only grandbaby!
"Ryouji...how could you do something so thoughtless! She's just a little girl! I...I will never forgive you for this!"
Saya giggled before turning to her grandmother. She was alright, in fact, she was better than alright, she was great!
"No need to worry Grandma! I'm fine. I didn't even feel it!"
Whenever one slowly turned back to see Saya, it turns out it was just as she said, she was fine! She caught her grandfather's fist with her palm. He was still holding back, she could tell. Ryouji on the other hand could not believe what he just witnessed.
Ami couldn't believe it either, she's been hit by her father before and it hurt but Saya stopped it like it was nothing. What..was she? Saya released her grandfather's hand before closing her eyes and smiling.
"Grandpa if you don't come at me with everything, you won't win!!"
She tilted her head to the side and smiled. Ryouji narrowed his eyes slightly, he's seen this tactic before, a smile is supposed to unnerve one's opponent. Saya was calm, way to calm. She had another ace up her sleeve for sure; but what was it?
Ryouji created three clones of himself who stood beside him. One of them turned toward him and kneeled down while staring at the young girl who hasn't stopped smiling.
"Are we really going to do this Ryouji?"
Ryouji nodded before clinching his fist. If she wanted him to come at him with everything, then he would up the ante, but he still couldn't allow himself to come at her with everything.
Azumi whom was sitting at the edge of her seat, afraid for her little grandbaby turned to the Future Shizune. She immediately how confident she was in her daughter. The smirk told her everything. Perhaps she was worrying a little too much but how could she not.
"Let's go!"
Ryouji and the three clones flash stepped and vanished. Once they reappeared, the four of them were approaching Saya from blind spots. As they neared her, Saya's smile faded slowly and a more serious look appeared on her face. She slowly opened her eyes revealing that she too had control of a Kisagara-The Kusanagi family trait. Eyes that could see reiatsu and reishi.
Ami stood up, upon seeing the eyes and shook her head, she couldn't believe it. With her eyes, she had no blind spots, Her father was running straight into a trap! Saya extended her arms out at her side slowly before folding her thumbs into her palms.As Ryouji and the clones rammed their fist into her direction, their fists were stopped by four fist sized shape barriers, each blocking a fist.
Saya performed a 'flash step' and immediately appeared behind Ryouji with an extreme haste and extended her arms out in front of her. Ryouji chuckled before performing a flash step and appearing behind Saya. When Ryouji went to grab her, a hand grabbed his wrist.
He turned his head slightly and saw Saya holding on to his wrist. With her other hand she placed the tip of her pointer finger against the side of his head and giggled. She was still having fun of course, but she was sad that she couldn't get him to take her seriously.
"Got ya Grandpa! You are really fast but I am faster annnd I can see you move. My Aunt Emi in this time period can sense you, but I can see you! When the reishi levels in the air change, it's where you will appear!"
Saya giggled before lowering her pointer finger. Instead she raised her palm and gathered the reishi into the palm of her hand as it warped and formed into a giant red ball.
"If you can see where I move so easily, then why haven't you seen where I was standing?"
Saya's happy expressions ceased immediately as she heard her grandfather's voice. She got confused...or maybe he created another clone when he vanished. Ryouji's zanpakutou was in his hand and the blade began to emit and black reiatsu of its own. Tightening his grip around the hilt Ryouji raised his sword and quickly slashed the air releasing a giant wave of energy.
The future Shizune stood up and shouted for her daughter. She couldn't believe her own father would take it that far and use that damn energy attack. She immediately began to feel faint and collapsed onto her knees while holding her chest. She fell to the ground and immediately reaching in Saya's general direction.
When the smoke had cleared, Saya was standing exactly where she was and the trail that the energy wave traveled was along side her. He missed her completely. Saya fell down onto her butt and stared at the trail her grandfather's attack left and how close it was to where she was standing.
Future Yuri who was standing and watching and seeing how her granddaughter would fare against the very man who trained her so long ago. She shook her head. She didn't agree with the children fighting with Ryouji.
"This is why children shouldn't fight with Ryouji, while you did well, you weren't prepared enough. Your mother is worried sick, go check on her and give her a hug. I will take your place and fight Ryouji."
Saya shot up and turned to her "Gramie" Yuri and flailed her arms while saying the word, no repeatedly. She wanted to keep going, she was scared for a minute sure, but she knew she could fight him!
"Saya, your mother needs you. Be a good girl and check on her and let her know you are alright."
Saya stopped and huffed. "Yes Gramie Yuri" She scurried off to help her mother as she was told and left her grandpa, her gramie and Shiori who hadn't moved an inch since the whole sparring session started.
Shiori heard the scream from Shizune and slowly glanced in her direction as Saya approached to help Shuzen and Ryusei. Shori kept playing the moment where Shizune told her that she was very sick and that she wasn't going to be...around for to much longer.
She felt so many emotions, rage was the primary one because there was nothing she could do to save her sister. Her hands began to clinch tightly into fists. Ryouji's eyes widened as he turned in Shiori's direction. Her spiritual pressure had slowly began to climb to the point where it was it drew looks from everyone. Ami and Shizune both stood up slowly wondering what was wrong with their younger sister. Azumi could not believe it herself, everyone knew how strong Shiori was...but her spiritual pressure was off the charts and it was still climbing!
[Insert Mood Music: Treachery]
The Future Ryoko who had been watching from her own little corner of the area could not believe, Shiori had spiritual pressure that rivaled most captains...in their time. Shizune embellished quite a bit when expressing exactly how strong Shiori was.
Shiori shrieked at the top of her lungs and a blue aura swallowed her body. Ami shouted to tell Shiori to stop it, if she kept releasing that much spiritual pressure, she could not only summon hollows, but she could hurt Uri and Aysa! Shiori in her rage turned to her father and started walking toward him slowly. Her speed slowly climbed and before he knew it she was running at him with everything he had.
He turned to his pupil from the future and pushed her aside as Shiori caught up to him. Drawing back her hand, she swung at her father with all that she had, and when she hit him, he left his feet and was thrown back from the force of the punch. She ran toward him again, this time the present era Shizune and Ami jumped into try to calm their little sister down, but she wasn't hearing it. Azumi released her Kisagara and began to perform hand signs before extending her hands out in front of her.
"Bakudo ninety-nine...KIN!!!"
Several giant leather straps erupted from the ground and tangled themselves around Shiori and pulled her to the ground. Azumi sighed in relief but the relief was short lived as she heard a loud snap! The binding spell vanished and Shiori pushed herself up to her feet and kept walking toward her father who hadn't moved since being struck the first time. Tears began to flow from her eyes as she walked toward him slowly. once reaching him, she stood over his body. Saya stood up and watched as her Aunt stood over her grandpa, she was worried about him, he hadn't moved at all!
She made the decision to spring into action to save her. She unraveled her bracelet on her right wrist and jumped into the air. in her right hand a spirit bow formed into her right hand and she fired several shots down upon her Aunt Shiori. Shiori glanced back and without hand signs or incantations she formed a barrier behind her to block all the shots.
Saya landed on the ground and aimed for Shiori with a serious look on her face, she would protect her grandpa at all costs...she wouldn't allow her mommy to lose him again like she did before. Even if it meant she had to hurt her Auntie Shiori!
"I know you are sad Auntie, but you have no reason to take it out on grandpa. We are all sad but it's up to us to come together during times like these. If you don't stop, I'm going to use this against you and I won't miss!!"
The future Shizune sighed heavily. Saya revealed her big secret in order to protect her grandfather.
"Shiori, Saya...that's enough! I am disappointed in both of you. How could you harm our father and you Saya, I told you to never reveal that!"
Upon hearing her sister speak Shiori's eyes widened slowly...she touched her face and realized she was crying and in front of everyone. What...what did she do? Her reiatsu dropped to what it always had been...or at least to a normal level before she glanced and saw her father laying there without moving. Did...did she do that to him?
"Da...daddy?"
There wasn't a response from him, he was out cold and bleeding through his bandages on his face. She backed away slowly before running off on her own while crying further. Ami called out to her but she didn't answer...she just kept running. Saya's spirit bow vanished from her hand and she sighed. She was in big trouble now for sure.
Azumi ran over to her husband and instantly placed him inside of a barrier and began to heal him. She couldn't help but wonder what happened with Shiori that set her off like that. The way she reacted when she saw him...it was like she didn't even realize what she had done.
The fact that she was willing to fight with him told Ryouji that little Saya was strong, but how strong, he couldn't gauge. She was the Shizune's child after all and the future Shizune is one of the strongest opponents he's ever faced.
