Satoru's expression and mood seemed to change as he raised his weapon to throat level. He told her to do as she intended, as he thrust his blade forward at her throat, a dangerous move. Lilia leaned back, flexibly bending back onto her hands before kicking her lower body up, aiming a kick for satoru's chin as she flipped over. Landing gracefully on her feet, the girl watched her opponant. She didn't know if he was angry or something but he had said to do as she wished as it would help him. Lilia half smiled and crossed her blades. "Pierce the storm, Ignis." Calling forth her shikai. She would go easy on him, but at this level of power, his Zanpakuto was sure to show its face to help him.

Lilia's duel blades became a single duel headed spear. She instantly activated wind saw on the blades, but made it so weak and calm that it would do no damage, but serve as a buffer between the sharp blades of her spear and her trainee. not that it wouldn't hurt if he got hit, though. Satisfied, Lilia darted forward and swung the rear blade low at satoru's feet, before bringing the front blade around in a spin to strike at his head. She pulled back a little and aimed a for thrusts, but was careful on the power she put behind them as the wind buffer could only do so much, and a heavy blow could spear saturo like a fish.

Satisfied, she jumped back ready for his counter.

(Hope you dont mind me dropping in XD)

Parius was sitting on a nearby tree, watching this entire thing. Then, he noticed Lilia released her Shikai. He sighed. It's about to get serious. He thought, leaping off the tree, and landing a few yards away. He waited for a pause in the fight, before speaking. "Maybe you should have a referee, before you kill each other?" He said, laughing. He looked at both of them. "It's good to see you Lilia. But, I'm afraid I don't know your friend." He walked over to the man. "Don't worry, I'm not gonna interrupt your battle for long. I just, like to hang out here. Anyway, I am Parius Chitose, Third Seat of Squad 11. And you are" He said, holding out his hand to him.

((OOC: Not really, but I am going to learn my Shikai in this thread, so if you want to join, you could add some pressure to me fight-wise? I want it to be a case of me learning my shikai because I'm losing and I need it.))

As he thrust forwards with his sword, Lilia flipped backwards, avoiding his blade and sending a kick at his chin in the process, which he swayed to the side to avoid, though it caught his arm instead. He brought his Zanpakutô back to his side and stepped back, watching her carefully as she crossed her blades once more, a smile across her face.

“Pierce the Storm, Ignis.”

He felt a burst of reiatsu from her as she released her swords, and smiled himself. The more intense the session was, the more he would learn, and the more likely it was that he could take the last step in his road towards Shikai.

In her hands now rested a dual headed spear, and as he watched, a swirling wind enveloped the ends, which he knew could be quite lethal if she put enough power into it. She sped towards him, and he barely had time to react at her new, boosted speed. She swung her lower blade at his feet, which he jumped to avoid, anticipating a second attack from the other end of her weapon, which came at his head. He threw his shining sword into a hasty block, but was still knocked backwards by the force of the blow. He managed to land properly, only to be met with a flurry of stabbing motions from his opponent, which he struggled to deflect, her speed astounding and confounding him.

As she moved backwards, he moved forwards, throwing a powerful front kick towards her midsection, before jumping back, and pointing his left hand towards her.

“Hadô no yon. Byakurai!” A bolt of pale white lightning shot towards her right shoulder, aiming for the joint to try and lessen her ability to fight. As it did so, he used a shunpo to appear to her left, his backhanded slash aimed at her side, just below the ribs. His sequence complete, he used shunpo again to return to his previous position.

And now, a newcomer interrupted their session, speaking from a short distance away, and lowering the intensity of the fight. “Maybe you should have a referee, before you kill each other?" The man looked at both combatants, before speaking again. “It's good to see you Lilia. But, I'm afraid I don't know your friend. Don't worry, I'm not gonna interrupt your battle for long. I just, like to hang out here. Anyway, I am Parius Chitose, Third Seat of Squad 11. And you are?” Satoru narrowed his eyes, slightly irritated at the break in their training, but not wanting to be rude, he shook the proffered hand. “My name is Sorahana Satoru. Currently, I am but a student at the academy. It is good to meet you.”

(parius, you help satoru, i'll bump up the pressure a little. )

He kicked at her, although there was no chance of him matching her speed in shikai. She was surprised he managed to block and dodge her attacks, and happy she had not hurt him, although as she recalled a bit of hurt helped some people learn. He kicked as Lilia dodged back, catching her in the chest, throwing her back. The man fired a hado, and Lilia twist pointed her spear at it, thrusting. The thrust fired a javelin of lightning at the hado, and they collided in mid air, exploding.

She twisted the spear and slammed the blade into the ground as he came forward, slashing at her side. The sword bounced harmlessly off the shaft, and he shunpo'd away. Lilia heard a familiar voice. "Parius!" She exclaimed, as she stopped attacking and skipped over to him. "How have you been? Have you seen Jensen or Kurama sama lately? How is squad eleven?" She barraged the poor man with questions like that, happy to see him.

Lilia calmed down soon enough, as satoru spoke. She smiled brightly. "I'm helping him learn shikai." She said. she grabbed Parius' hand and pulled him into the training area. "Come on, you can help. its not fair if I go all out on him, but if there are two of you." She smiled deviously. "Well, you know i'm as strong as Jensen." Once satoru learned shikai though, if he did, they would have to fight as it would not be so easy to take on both of them.

Lilia took position infront of both of them. She could be head strong, meaning unless parius shunpo'd away, she was going to attack both of them. "You ready? GO!" She shouted. raising the palm of her hand she shouted "hado 32 Ōkasen!" firing a blast of yellow light between the pair to get things going.

Parius nodded at Satoru, before grimacing, when Lilia started talking his ear off. Then, he found himself, suddenly, facing Lilia. "Fine, I'll fight. But, since this is for Satoru, I won't use my Shikai, OK?" He didn't get an answer, before Lilia shot a Kido at them both. Parius Shunpo'ed out of the way, and landed. He wanted to see what this Satoru could do. I'll stay on the defensive then. I guess now, I'm a teacher.

Parius drew his blade, and rushed in, hoping to give Satrou a chance to attack, He swung, and kicked, at Lilia's midsection. Not hard, but it would send her skidding back. He moved out of the way, and waited.

Watching the pair's dialogue, Satoru realised that they knew each other quite well, and that they shared some common history. He waited patiently for the conversation to end, and when it did, he was ready to react.

Satoru leapt to the side as Lilia's spell blasted between him and Parius, dividing them momentarily. As Parius moved in with his attack, Satoru followed, slightly behind him so that he could use him as a distraction.

I hope this session is intense enough to draw my sword's own soul... I am eager to learn, and to communicate with the friend of my heart.

As Parius launched his foot at their opponent's midsection, Satoru stepped slightly further past, so that he was just behind her, to her right hand side, before sweeping his sword across in a straight horizontal cut, so that if Parius' kick was successful in knocking her back, she would go straight into his blade. Recovering from the strike, he then returned to a ready stance, and prepared for what was to come.

They both avoided her kido, which was disappointing, and Parius kicked at her, aiming for her belly. at the same time satoru shunpo'd behind her, and attack. The kick hit, and to her surprise it was allot weaker then she expected. She always assumed parius was physically stronger, she wasn't sure why, but if he was, that ment he was holding back, and that wouldn't do. Lilia might look young and cute but she hated being underestimated, even if she wasn't being now.

Lilia let the kick push her, and twirled as she did, using the shaft of her spear to throw satoru's weapon aside. With a low sweep she aim to trip him and leaped backwards over parius. She aimed an array of thrusts to drive him towards satoru, and with one final jab at his face she tried to throw him off.. Her weapon was still surrounded by a very weak barrier of wind, one that would stop her attacks from cutting. If on the other hand she used it at full power she could cut an arrancar's hierro with ease.

With one final swing of her spear she fired a wave of wind,although she weakened it, to push parius so that he would fall on satoru. once done she jumped back an raised her hand. "Hado 58 tenren!" She said, firing a widening cyclone of wind towards the pair. They would soon learn not to underestimate her.

(Lol you have to be careful, Lilia is angered easily, by the strangest things.)

Parius dodged, most of the strike Lilia was throwing at him. The last one caught him, and he pulled back. Then, she blasted wind at him. He smiled. And then, he laughed. He drew his blade, and said, over the wind. "I hope you don't mind!" He Shunpo'ed, as Lilia's Kido blasted. He didn't see what had happened to Satoru. Parius looked, right at Lilia, and pointed his blade at her. "I guess I can't play defense against you then. Oh well. Blacken the Sky, Anokoku!" Parius's blade turned black, and the area around him did as well.

Parius swung, and an axe appeared. He threw it at Lilia, but dulled it, so it wouldn't cut her. He moved in, and aimed a kick, at her midsection, before placing a palm on her stomach. If it worked, he would push her back. If not, he would be wide open.

As Lilia knocked his sword away, Satoru started to move backwards, but her sweep connected with his front leg, and knocked him slightly off balance, so that he slipped, throwing his stance off. In the short time it took for him to regain composure, she had attacked Parius, and pushed him back a little, towards Satoru. Standing between them, Parius blocked his view of Lilia, and so he was unprepared for the wave of wind, which struck him square on, and knocked him backwards.

You must learn to see clearly what is in front of you, Sorahana Satoru.

Startled by the voice that sounded deep within his soul, he was caught off guard by the hadô that came at him and blasted him backwards before he managed to shunpo out of harm's way.

My god. Is this how it begins? Is this the start of our bond?

Elated by the new voice, so like his own, Satoru watched intently as Parius released his Shikai.

"Blacken the Sky, Anokoku!" The sword turned black, and as the area around him grew darker, Satoru gained some insight as to what the nature of Anokoku's ability might be. Using another shunpo, he moved above Lilia, adding the force of his own cut to his ally's, hoping that the two attacks could together make a slightly more powerful effect.

Parius dodged her attack, and released shikai. Satoru was not so lucky as he was trown away by the tenren. Parius shunpo'd in and fired an axe of darkness, and fired a javalin of lightning back. Being stronger than parius, her attack shattered the black axe and shot towards him, however it would be greatly weakened and would lack peircing power. It didn't matter, because he was already infront of her, aiming a kick for her midsection. She blocked, but the palm that followed up hit home and she was pushed back.

At the same time Satoru had regained his feet, and he had a new looked on his face. Shunpoing forward and behind her, he slashed. She barely managed to turn and deflect the cut and was tossed to the side. She fell and rolled. She looked at his face, relized he must have heard the voice. But it wasn't the easy to defeat Lilia, even two on one. She hated looking weak, she would not be looked down on.

First she looked to Parius, and pointed a hand at him. "Carriage of Thunder. Bridge of a spinning wheel. With light, divide this into six! Bakuda# 61 Rikujōkōrō!" Six bright rods of light formed around Parius and shot towards him. trying to pin him into place. The spell was a drain, but if it caught him it would stop him from moving. Even if he dodged, which would be hard considering the level of spell, It would distract him long enough for her to Deal with satoru. She knew he was close to shikai, it would take a bit of a push, and she was going to give him that push.

Shunpoing forward she switched the aura on her spear to lightning. A single hit with her weapon would send a shock trough her target. Slashing at him with the flat of the blade she aimed for the ribs, then spun and brough the other spear blade in at his leg, With a kick she tried to throw him back, jumped back herself and Pointed the spear at him, as a ball of wind and lightning began to form. This was like a cero, in damage. The furious winds would cut up its target, and the lighting would shock them silly. He would have to dodge this or release, or she'd be taking him to the infirmary, and might not be allowed train students again.
