Kaze was sitting on a pile of bones of a large creature hollow that he had slain just by being near it with his massive spiritual energy. He was bored and had decided to send a beacon calling forth any fighter nearby from anywhere in the world.

Kaze was hungry for bloodshed and violence..and what Kaze wanted..kaze got..even if he had to go cause it himself..but..this day..he felt lazy.. he wished to wait for someone to come on their own accord to find out whats causing such an evil reiatsu to radiate throughout Cairo, Egypt.

The only noticable thing around Kaze besides the large rib cage he was sitting on would be the fact everything around him seemed to be very very very slowly melting due to his destructive spiritual pressure. Of course he was doing his best to keep what was under his own ass from being affected..since he didn't want to sit on the sand dunes or the air.

" come out come out little bird.. I want to play with you...to death.."

He let forth another powerful beacon burst of spiritual pressure..hastening the "melting" process of the area around him and turning the sand into glass from the pressure. He was now sitting on "half" a ribcage..the rest of it looking like melted bones of unknown origin.

He had been gone for so long..that this little bit of fun..would most likely rejuvenate his power further..the man pulled out his nodachi styled Zanpaktou and licked the blade down it's length as he waited with anticipation for his "prey" to appear..whoever the unlucky person or people was or were..they would regret coming..

A man of 6 foot walked casually along, his long brown hair tied back. Beside him walked a young human girl who bounced along happy as can be. Although his ability to sense was weak, he still felt the powerful torrent of reiatsu as it appeared. Alice went pale as a smile appeared on Ashen's face. "No-" She began, but he cut her off. "Stay here, Alice." He said, before shunpoing away and not really giving her a choice, she couldn't follow him anyway.

As he drew near the reiatsu, he felt it surge again, but it didn't affect him, he couldn't sense well enough to even gauge the power of this person, although they must have been strong considering the concern on Alice's face. Ashen sped up, all the more riled at the though of a fight. Stopping finally, floating just above the sands he looked at the man with cold eyes, as he licked his long weapon. Ashen's face never chanced as he noticed the sand turned to glass, he was unfazed by the man's power.

"Releasing power like that is sure to call some fools to their death, which by the looks of you is what you want. You got me instead though." He drew his weapons, a long silvery Katana and matching Tanto. It was evident, that he would never match this man, at his current level just by looking at the damage to the bones he sat upon but that never bothered him. He just hoped Alice didn't follow, she'd get herself killed.

Kaze smiled as he felt someone fast approaching. The man looked decent..though he was clearly not on Kaze's level..However when he spoke..Kaze's smile only widened into an insane demonic looking grin of lunacy..the man KNEW what Kaze wanted and still came..that was so..exciting..so..delicious..Kaze simply couldn't refuse bringing pain to this man now. He HAD to hurt this man now..which was going to have happened no matter what..but now Kaze was thrilled to do it!

"The prey has arrived the slaughter begins!"



With that Kaze pushed from his now crouched position off the bones causing them to crack, shatter, break and go in the opposite direction as he shunpo'd forward to increase his speed. This man had two blades..however..Kaze did have a slight advantage with his one..length. the man's katana was most likely around 4 foot long.. Kaze was bad with measurements.. but Kaze's nodachi was around the high 6 feet something..probably even topping at the lower 7 foot something..and he was fast with such a long blade.

Power swipe trying to just cut the man in half..with a glimmer of hope that it would be blocked, avoided, or cross parried. OH if the man cross parried he would be in such a world of hurt from Kaze's counter cross..a trick he learned before Rikku had defeated him many centuries ago.

After that Kaze just started using the length of his zanpaktou to his advantage. Swiping at the man with a flurry of blows trying to dice him like a tomatoe.. a big..moving..two weapon holding..tomatoe......well. at least he'd bleed red like a tomatoe! Assuming Kaze hit him at all anyways. He hadn't used any of his powers yet.. and his physical powers were already augmented by the fact he had a constant shikai released Zanpaktou..so he didn't really have to use his powers til his "prey" started doing so.

The more "hidden" noticable thing his new toy would have learned IF he got cut or NARROWLY avoided being hit by the blade would be it's drenched in his destructive reiatsu. Meaning if it hit him it'd act like a very slow acid..scorching skin a tiny bit just from contact but not actually "melting" any part of him because the prey's own spiritual pressure protected him for the moment.

Ashen didn't reply, he didn't see the need to. Instead he watched his foe, as he jumped up, lunging at Ashen with that six foot blade of his. Ashen was well accustomed to large weapons, but that was a surprise for later. As the man came in swinging with a massive slash, Ashen blocked. Despite his good physical strength and speed this man easily forced him to use both weapons to stop the blow. He back peddled not to worried, his strength lay in his immense durability. he could take a hell of a beating, and his resistance to pain stopped him from flinching every step once he was badly hurt.

Ashen fell back from the man giving a little ground while trying to block as many of th blows as possible. Some slipped trough his guard, no surprise there, and cut him. He ignored the pain, not noticing right away the effect of the man's corrosive reiatsu that burned the skin around the cuts he'd made on Ashen's arms. Ashen felt him ease up and took the chance to rush him, slashing out at speed with both weapons, aiming blows for several different parts of the man. After about five slashes he fell back. What he had done there might not make sense to the man, who had likely blocked most of those, if not all, but those attacks had been probes, in an attempt to get a feel for his foe's skills and strengths, most important of all, his ability to block.

Crossing the blades of his weapons, he said, "Live to fight, Fura Ana." He said, and the weapons transformed in hands. The Katana became a long sword, with a spiked cross hilt, and the Tanto became a long slim dagger, the blade of which spread down to protect his hand, and into a spike at the bottom. Ashen's speed and strenght doubled, as did his stamina, but he only gained a small boost to his reiatsu, which while on full display was nothing amazing, infact it was quite low. It was useful, actually, as his foe's tended to underestimate him because of it.

Raising his dark steel weapons, Ashen charged forward, in a very predictable line of attack. He however, suddenly turned and shunpod to the left of the man, bringing his dagger in at the guy's side. He kept moving, trying to get at his back as he spun right, bringing the sword across the man's back. Leaping away he once again took a moment to examine the reactions. He was no strategist, but he did well at gauging people strength trough their reactions.

Kaze sat there as the man made a few weak slashes at him. His reiatsu still pouring out of his body like it was limitless...Kaze sometimes wondered how he managed to continue with the way that happened on occassion..but left it up to chance on the matter of if it would ever bother him in battle. However between this man's sealed weapon attacks and Kaze's always unsealed combat abilities..He got bored and decided to make the man take his game up a notch.

Because Kaze stood there and watched each attack slide off his body without even cutting him due to the output of his own reiatsu acting like a barrier around his body. He had his nodachi across one shoulder when he did this too. Making it painfully obvious he hadn't even bothered with blocking..not because he couldn't..but because there hadn't even been a reason too. The man wasn't even at Kaze's level of release. Having not used his own shikai yet. To top that Kaze was naturally stronger than this man spiritually.

To his great delight the man seemed to have got the idea because he released right afterwards. His weapons changing weapon styles while maintaining their size. Instead of japanese style he had what looked to Kaze as english style weapons. Longsword and a slim dagger long enough to be considered a dirk by some people.

It seemed that spiritually this man was just all around weak. Kaze saw this as two possibilities. One..the man was stronger physically..most likely being on par with Kaze himself because of his release. or two this man was masking it to trick Kaze. Something that would make sense..but didn't bother Kaze.

Seemed Kaze would find out. The man rushed him and with a shunpo made it to Kaze's left. Kaze's weapon moved along that side to slide between himself and the man at such an angle..that when the man spun to be behind Kaze..he once against found Kaze's nodachi Zanpaktou in the way. Their strength was now on equal terms..but Kaze didn't have to move his weapon around as much as the other man did in order to do things. He could lazily move it and block a good portion of his open body.

Something nagged at Kaze. Was this man just a physical fighter? If that was the case then this guy was just going to be a warm up instead of the main course.. Or was he just sizing Kaze up? Why? It was painfully obvious that Kaze was stronger spiritually..and most people stronger spiritually were stronger period..in Kaze's opinion. Perhaps he was wrong..either way.

Kaze spun as fast as he could in a 540 degree spin. gaining a full spin of momentum and then stopping while facing where the man was. Using his weapon as a deterrant to get the man to back off..which he did. Kaze noticed a sign of observance in the man's eye. So..he really was testing Kaze then?

"Then I shall make the first real move. The warm-ups end! the party begins!"

He started slow walking towards the man. Grinning from ear to ear as he purposely positioned his zanpaktou over his head as if he was just going to walk up and slice the man in half regardless of what the man did said or thought of!

As he walked though his opponent would suddenly find himself surrounded by dark energy in the form of 10 swords all of which stabbed at him while Kaze continued to just slow walk towards the man regardless of the man's location. These swords continued to stalk the man and try to stab at him repeatedly unless he destroyed them.

As he expected, his attacks failed, the man didn't even bother blocking. He did block the follow up attacks, and with decent skill. Ashen jumped away as his opponent advanced. He watched him carefully, the man had raised his sword to attack. However he did not, atleast not with the blade. ten swords appeared in the air around Ashen, and tried to run him through. Ashen backed up, parrying the swords with quick swings of his own. One came down, and he slashed out smashing it like it were glass, Before side stepping one that plunged into the ground, which he broke with a kick. The blades followed him relentlessly, slashing and trying to cut him. He broke two more by spinning with his weapons out, as a third tore past his leg cutting into the flesh. He slashed down heavily with his longsword, then threw himself forward to avoid more blades.

Ashen pressed the dagger to the Longsword, and merged the blades, resulting in his weapon taking on the form of a large greatsword, almost six and a half feet long. His strength increased to three times the normal, and his speed dropped, to normal. With a heavy powerful swing Ashen smashed through two more of the swords, blocking a third as a forth cut into his shoulder. He finished off the black weapons with another swind, before turning his attention back to his foe.

With a deep warcry he charged, bringing the heavy sword around in a wide horizontal slash. Bringing the blade around and over head he slammed it down on the man, hit or miss he would lift it quickly and thrust the sharp tip at his foe's chest, Then spin left and bring it around in another heavy slash. He stepped in, and threw all his force into a shoulder aimed for the mans chest that would throw him back, and then bring his blade up in a rising slash from below. He then backed off a little, ready to defend himself.

( Technically my hand gripping your face IS a grab..and i'm suppose to get permission but you weren't online. if you don't like it. Tell me and I'll fix it.)

Kaze moved his weapon to block the man after seeing him shatter his darkness weapons with relative ease..which was normal..they were ment to be annoying but weak..their usefulness lay in being as versatile as Kaze's imagination..as long as it wasn't over a certain size..however the man's strength had greatly improved! Kaze actually had to use both of his hands to keep this man's blade from inching towards Kaze's face! It was thrilling! Exciting! Amazing! The man was dead if he didn't cease though.

For Kaze had created 2 shadows wolves that lunged for the legs of Ashen Reinhart..intent on taking those legs out permanently by ripping them to shreds if Ashen didn't do something to stop them. This was a distraction..but one that Ashen couldn't avoid to ignore..

and the moment Ashen's guard was dropped to deal with the wolves Kaze made his move. He released one of his hands from his blade and used his head as a replacement buffer to keep the man's blade from moving closer..while at the same time using that free hand to grip Ashen's face as tightly as possible..as if he thought he could break it with his bare hand.

However that wasn't the plan. For as he gripped his destructive reiatsu was brought close enough to Ashen's body that it began to overwhelm his own spiritual pressure and start to effect him..beginning IMMEDIATELY where the hand was and slowly spreading across his body. The pain would be slightly moderate..but the actual wounds would be small..his face would now look like a hand print had been "melted" or "burnt" into his face without doing any real cosmetically altering damage to his face..his neck would be slightly burnt from the reiatsu now as well..

And if he didn't deal with both Kaze's grip and the wolves soon more of him would become effected.

(thats cool. I don't mind.)

Ashen realised he was under threat from both sides, as largee black wolves appeared. with a quick slash he tore to first to peices with his heavy sword, as the other bit into his leg. Ashen kicked out, shaking the thing off and putting some distance between him and the wolf. He tried a slash, but the heavy blows were to slow to hit the evasive creature that lunged and struck his chest. As it did ashen had already parted his two weapons, but they took the form of his original dagger, and a target shield, which he shoved into the wolfs face, throwing it off. The change to his weapons increased his speed to three times that of normal, but his strength dropped now. Ashen never touched the ground, as he flipped backwards onto his feet, only to be met with a hand to the face. He could feel the contact burning hs skin, right down his neck.

Ashen brought the shield down at the man's elbow, while slashing at the under side with his knife. Ashen didn't think thrashing about would help, and the wolf would soon be on him again. tossing his target shield high he grabbed the man's wrist and pulled his face free, squeezing hard on the mans wrist as he escaped. He seen the shield come down and rolled to catch it, and avoid the bite of the shadow wolf, which he killed with a quick slash.

The tingle in his skin died away as he looked the man up and down. A fient smile appeared on his lips. "A worthy challenge." he said. "I'm going to enjoy this." At the moment of his weapons transformation an dark blue aura formed around Ashen, and for three posts it would stay there, lessening the damage he took. Ashen charged, shield up, faster then before. if the man struck the shield with his blade, which he would if Ashen blocked, the sword would be repelled with such force that it would fly back, and possibly from his opponents hand.

Ashen slipped past the heavy blade, such a weapon had long reach, but it could be rendered ineffective at close range. Ashen danced around the man, stabbing at his ribs, the shoulder, and so on, using his increased speed to avoid being caugh and pinned down. He aimed a heavy thrust for the man's chest. He had so far failed to hurt the man, but it bothered him little. He would get him, sooner or later, and if it could be hit, it could be killed.

The red headed fox raced through the outskirts of Cairo; he was assigned to patrol around the area, but two strong reistu’s caught his attention. They were both vizards, he could tell only that much; but the commotion and the massive wave of energy was just insane. As soon as he was close enough he noticed that there was this man with an eye patch fighting Jensen. "Jensen!" he cried out, the fox was completely unaware that the brunet that looked very much like Jensen was indeed not the same vizard that was his friend. Running a hand through his hair, the fox took out a seed and slashed it at the ground; plants immediately took root and formed from underground just beneath the fighters. Suddenly thick vines emerged from right between the two fighters, separating them from each other as Kurama spoke.

“What is the meaning of this sudden outburst?” he questioned the two in a calm but alert manner. “I’m vice-captain of squad nine and despite your distance from the town if this is a training session it must be taken towards the training grounds, not where innocent people can be hurt.” He said as took out his rose in defense. He knew Jensen wouldn’t attack someone for no reason, so if by any chance the new acquaintance was an enemy he was quite ready to take Jensen’s side and help him take on the vizard.

As the man charged forward with his power seeming to show it's true strength..Kaze noticed a being coming towards them quickly. Annoyed but intrigued by this new possible playmate. Kaze used one of his more detestable powers..suddenly wrapping the wrists and ankles of the man charging at him in invisible strands of Kaze's own reiatsu..causing small burns to occur from the very fact it was Kaze's reiatsu. This stopped the man in his tracks..and washed a wave of concentrated energy over his body..causing it's entirety a burning pain sensation as if Kaze's spiritual pressure was trying to eat him.

As the man coming to these two fighters called out to the one that wasn't Kaze..and tried to stop the two..Kaze frowned. This man wanted Kaze to stop fighting? KAZE? to stop..FIGHTING? He was ignorant to say the least..Kaze NEVER stopped..not unless he wanted to..and that was quite rare..

In light of this new opponent. Blackwind actually spoke to Kaze.

"Let me out partner! I wanna kill em all!"

With the words spoken. The mask formed over Kaze's face on it's own accord..Kaze's harmony with his hollow form being on such a level that even his own Zanpaktou was in tuned with the evil of Kaze. His power skyrocketed like a vizards does when the mask is donned..and the strands holding the man in mid-charge twitched and flung him into the ground.

"Now you all going to die! AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAAH"

(OOC Kaze is now Blackwind )

Blackwind was now oozing more reiatsu than Kaze had been originally..his reaitsu was also pitch black instead of crimson red..he put his hand on his Nodachi styled blade and grinned as he spoke the words that would make this fight get taken to a whole..new..level..

"Show them..our..reality....Noesis!"

In a sudden burst of spiritual pressure the area grew dim and then cleared up as if the sun had been covered for a moment..revealing a hollow looking version of Kaze's bankai form that was standing at a grand new 7'2'' height with what seems to be gelled back black hair. His skin is a white and his feet are that like a dragon's except grey unlike Kaze's normal tan. He has white with red outline wings that look very torn and old and undead like come out his back in a outstretched manner He wears no shirt so that you see all the fine tuned muscle on his torso and he wears pants that end at both knee's that is black unlike his skin.. The other noticible thing is is wears a black ribbon on his right arm a little down from the shoulder.

The mask was still on..though it looked fused to the face. This bankai was warped in blackwinds power..it was an amazing power..but now the fun really would begin.

"Time to die clowns!"

He shunpo'd to be at an angle where they were both infront of him..and then began swinging his sword over and over as fast as he could..releasing wave after wave of dark energy at the duo. these waves just kept coming. It was like there was no limit as fast as he was swinging that blade of his though while he did this..he aimed with high accuracy at each of them and fired a gren rey cero from the tips of his wings..at the same time.

As Ashen Moved into attack, a voice called out. "Jensen!" It said. The voice didn't distract him, it was the name the person said. As he turned to look, something bound him on the spot, as pain enveloped his body. "Tch." He was bond tightly. He ignored the pain, the burning his foe reiatsu created was intense, but it wasn't enough to affect him. Besides, his mind was elsewhere. He Turned his head to look at the new arrival, a fox like shinigami. "Don't run away." He said to the shinigami, before he was slammed into the ground. Ashen pushed himself onto his feet, winded, as the man before them began to transform.

His transformation was no surprise, only a vizard or arrancar could have such dark Reiatsu. Ashen wasted no time, if he was to stand a chance against such a force he needed to use his Bankai. "If you want to live, your going to have to skip introductions, and call on your power." Ashen said. The man before them was not going to play nice, Ashen would enjoy this fight, but it wouldn't last long like this.

He had been about to call out the second release of his weapon, when The hollofied vizard unleased a barrage of energy slashes at the pair. Ashen raised his weapons, jumping back as he raised the target shield. It was small, but it was good enough to block and push aside as many of the waves of reiatsu as Ashen could, he was hit be a few, leaving burns and cuts across his chest arms and legs. The wings twitched, and A pair of Gran rey cero shot at them. One at Ashen, one At Kurama. Ashen Shunpo'd aside, a second to late. He was caught and sent flying by the explosion.

He crashed down, rolling trough the sand. With a growl, he pushed himself up onto his feet. "Bankai!" He called, and power flooded into him. The two weapons turned white and engulfed his arms, extended out and the light died away. Ashen was now wielding a pair of 4 ft heavy steel blades that were connected to gauntlets, and looked like a pair of oversized punching daggers. The gauntlet continued up his arms, finishing in a heavy pauldron. His clothing changed, to, so that he was wearing a black top, loose pants and dark leather boots.

His strength and speed both increased to 3 times the oringinal, and his stamina durability and reiatsu doubled from his original form. As well as this, as soon as Ashen entered Bankai, an aura activated around him. The aura emanated killing intent, and would strike fear into the hearts of those around him, causing hesitation and a decrease to speed for one post. He had a choice of who this affected, and he excluded the shingami. It was unlikely to work on his enemy but he didn't stop it anyway.

Ashen rushed towards the hollowofied enemy, Bringing both weapons down. As he did, A powerful wave of energy shot from his weapons. It tore along the ground, trowing up a trail of sand. If the attick hit, it would do the same damage as if the man were shot with three cero at once. He went to the vizards right, leaving the left for kurama, and slashed with his heavy blade for the mans right should. He turned and stabbed with the other blade, aiming for the ribs, before jumping back.
