Kano jumps and rose, it took him two jumps to make the high and he was abit wably since he never realy 'flew' before. "alright" Kano put his hand in a claw-like form against the side of his head and swiped it across his side dawning his mask.

(OOC: i keep forgeting to put this in my app, but if you seen what his mask looks like, take away the crown-like horns)

Kano rushed at a fast pace to sweap his leg in a high kick at Rai's head, he then spun around the opposite direction for another 'Round House Kick'. he flipped over Rai's head and stomped his foot against his head as a jump board to gain higher altitude.

Kano spun around and pushed down fast and spun in a circle gaining velocity and saumersaulted in mid air aswell, looking like he spins as the earth spins. he clenched each hand in eachother holding a fist in his other hand and last second slammed it over Rai's head and hitting his face instead of the top, and uses the force and momentum to push him off foward at great speed while a spin and a wave twisted him so he is facing Rai again.

He slid on the air and pushed forward as fast as he can. Knowing that he is fighint a high class he knows that no matter the force he uses wont kill Rai, and probably would hardly scratch him, along with knowning that his mask can disipate at any moment.

He smashed his hand on the 'air ground' and started a spin kick with no friction on his hands due to the air, and with the wind at a higher speed on higher altitude he used it to spin him faster as like a windmill. he then bended his hands lower to get at Rai's face.

(OOC: its hard for me to do dailogue while fighting, im not sure if that would be a problem thou)

Rai leaned sideways to avoid the first kick, but got smacked by the second one at the top of his head. This caused him to stumble to his right. Kano continued by using his head as a stepping stone for higher elevation. He then started to spin came crashing down to him. Rai used shunpo to avoid him completely. The trainee then started to do windmill kicks.

Rai tried jumping over the kicks, but his feet got caught by the man's legs and fell. Rai recovered quickly by aiming a sweep kick at Kano's hands and then a punch to his ribs. Rai then backed off with shunpo. "I sincerely hope your zanpakutou spirit and inner hollow gets along better than mine do. They can be so distracting at the most inopportune moments..."

Raiden used shunpo with a flip in it for an axe kick to the top of Kano's head. As he back flipped, he charged a blue-grey cero. But unlike the first one, he deliberately lowered its power to that of Kano's cero. That was a good thing about his insane senses: All he needs is glance to tell one's strength, or the strength of their energy based attacks. After he fired the attack, he stood there, upside down and waited.

(OOC: Dialogue in a fight typically happens during a brief break in combat. If it's during your moves, there would be some sentence breaks, symbolized by a ...)

Kano saw the sweep comeing and pushed his bended arms straight to jump upward, as a result thou the punche hit him dead center in the chest instead of ribs sending Kano flying back. "Heh, i dont think they even met" Kano spoke as he tipped the 'ground' to spin him on his feet. Out of nowere came Rai using and axe kick and Kano's reflexes kicked in, he pushed his right arm up forward and his left arm under, he loosend energy so he merely floats instead of on stable ground and the kick just flung Kano down till he gather the energy and landed in the air about seventeen feet down.

"A cero? already?" he said in astounishment as he hasnt gained all energy back, and he never even released a cero before. he whiped his hand forward and had his fingers in a 'gun' positing with a crimson red cero forming around his finger.

lets hope this works Kano thought to himself as he took and dead center at the strong vizard's charged cero. its now or nothing "FiRE!!!!" he shouted as Kano pressed his thumb down fast to his index finger as if a flint hit a bullet, and the cero shot out, abit stronger than his first charged, yet not in continues ray, but a bullet.

Right after the bullet was shot, Kano's mask dicipated to dust. in the even that his cero fire failed, kano dashed out of the direct line sight, and hoped for the best.

Something went wrong with Kano's cero, and it burst into a bunch of balas. The number of them stalled the cero, and both attack exploded. Rai looked dumbfounded at what had happened. "What the hell did you do wrong! You turned your cero into a couple dozen bala!" The kid appeared in front of Kano, still upside down. "Seriously, what happened? I specifically lowered the power of my cero to your first one. And then you screwed it up. I've made my fair share of mess-ups with cero, but I've never done that."

That was definately odd. Rai couldn't use bala himself, though he really wouldn't use it if he did. He liked the power of a cero, and sacrificing power for speed did not appeal to him. Yeah, he failed with his cero more than a few times, but it never did that. This was a vexing problem.

"I..I dont know" Kano spoke franticly, he honestly had no idea, he just shot out hoping for the best. Kano didnt even know what a bala was, he never seen a hallow use it before.

"Sorry?...What is a bala anyway?"he spoke with curiosity, even thou he has known of his origin, still he had the knowledge of a newby. Kano sat down crosslegged in the sand. "well we better head to the contact now, it seems pretty close."

"Bala is a weaker, but much faster cero-ish ability. Think of it as a cannon where a cero is a laser gun. But the cannonball is moving at the speed of light while the laser is moving at the speed of sound. Personally, I prefer the cero's power over the bala's speed. Oh, and bala don't have much of a charge time either. I don't know how to do bala, but I could care less about it." Rai said matter of factly. The silver haired kid went right side up and took off his mask.

He then landed on the sand and grabbed his sword. "Well, let's go." Rai started to walk off without him. It didn't bother him at all that Kano did a bala, even if it was unintentional. After about ten minutes of walking, the contact's bar was visible on the edge of the Nile River Valley. "And there it is. A bar...with special drinks...and that's all I know about it. Wanna race?" Raiden grinned widely at the trainee.

Kano picked up and sheathed his sword and caught up to Rai. "Yea sure" Kano said and grinned, he stepped his right foot foward and dashed towards the bar as fast as he can. the sand makes it so he seemingly glides across to the bar, he stoped inside "One beer please" he said, as the bartender looked at him strangly "And, uh HOW old are you son?" he asks. Kano gives him a cold look "217, I think thats well above the legal limit" the bartender laughed as if Kano was making a wise crack.

Rai used shunpo twice, leaving afterimages in his wake, one per shunpo. He beat Kano to it, but sneaked up to the bar, sitting on a stool. "We're with Rikku-sensei, vizards. Beer is not good for you in a desert, Kano. I'll take water, gotta stay hydrated in this environment. I'm also of legal age, but I'm not much of a drinker." Raiden took the drink graciously as the bartender was finishing up laughing. "Oh, and this is on my tab until or unless Kano starts racking up a big one. Also give us some energy recovering drinks."

Raiden turned to Kano. "When we're done, what do you want to work on next? Mask length, cero, I can't help you with bala, or other skills with your mask on? Not swordsmanship, I'll accidentilly kill ya. Or do you want to see how bad Shougeki and Shiro can argue and bicker?"

(OOC: On Platinum Hearts, I uped Rai's age to the early four hundreds.)

Kano drinks some of his beer after finaly getting some "i have a super strong liver, and immune system for this stuff, its like water" he drinks some more and mixes some with his energy drink and finishes it.

"I think we should work on speed, and mask length..." Kano gets up off the chair and leans on it. he knows that his hallow powers arent the best, and he wants to be at top speed for in about two weeks the world as we know it is about to change (ooc: mwahahah xP).

"should i use my shikia, i dont think i ever used it? " he said since he actualy once, but didnt even fight with it.
