Hotspring Encounters

Tetsu looked around at the hidden hotspring. He had found this place one time when he went outside of Karakura Town and into the woods in order to train with his Spirit Bomb and other skills. He was a good distance away from Karakura Town, far enough away that the explosions from his attack would not be seen or heard. Plus, the clearing in which the lake sized hot spring was located had another twenty feet in most directions. This was good so he wouldn't do too much damage to the trees in the area.

Tetsu took a deep breath then held out his hand as if he was holding a ball. A small violet orb appeared in his hand, then black reishi started gathering around the violet orb and created a black casing with a glowing purple center. It was the size of a baseball in his hand. Tetsu fluxuated his Reiatsu, not masking it at the moment.

"Let's go. Spirit Bomb!" he yelled as he then tossed it at the ground on the other side of the hotspring, which already had a few deep craters from previous training. The spirit bomb soared through the air and quickly reached the other side. It hit the edge of one of the craters and everything was enveloped in a ten foot radius of black orb. The orb shattered and a blast of wind blew out. The edge of the crater was now deep and black scorch marks seemed to be painted on the ground that had been caught in the explosion.

Tetsu jumped when he heard the man speak. "Huh? Woah," he said as he noticed the disc tha man was riding. "Who are you?" he asked, completely forgetting about the questions the man had asked. Tetsu's reiatsu was similar to that of a hollows. For all this man knew, Tetsu could be a hollow able to take human disguise. Unless he was very skilled with sensing reiatsu, in which he'd be able to sense the difference between the human and hollow reiatsu.

Tetsu was about to say another thing when he sensed something faint. A small spiritual pressure, from a normal human. He turned to the source and spotted a girl. She was pretty cute, but he had never seen her before. Could she actually be a real human? Or was she a special one like him? By the feeling he got from her reiatsu she was a human. He had been skilled with sensing reiatsu and could also control his greatly.

The two kept saying something, making him not sure who to answer first. What the girl said made him blush a little. He decided to clear things up with her first and said, "I wasn't looking at your breasts. I just glanced over at you. So don't flatter yourself."

Tetsu then turned to the strange man. "Umm... I'm Tetsu Kurogane... I would spar... but.. Wait. What's going on here? Ok. Your names Urufu Tatsumaki. But what are you? You have incredible aura. But there is something strange about you.." said Tetsu as he frowned.

Tetsu watched the crazy girl walk off. "Ok.. talk about a first impression," he said as he could still sense her nearby. He then turned to the guy, Urufu, as he spoke. Tetsu attempted to hold in a laugh.

"Umm... ok..." said Tetsu, afraid if he said anymore he would laugh. "You sure do think highly of yourself 'boss'." There was a clear hint of sarcasm when he said the word boss. "I am Tetsu Kurogane. Almighty ruler of teletubby land, brother to barney, and sister of the ugly duckling. I'm the better looking one by the way," said Tetsu as he turned away from the man and stepped toward the lake. "I don't know if we should spar with that girl close by. Besides, we should probably relax our body to loosen up before we train," he said as he took off his shirt and began working on his shoes and socks.

"So. You are able to regenerate your body? Or is that some mild form of regeneration? Like only able to reconnect, not reform?" asked Tetsu, staying calm as much as he could. He had read things like that in books. However, those books were fantasy books. He was a bit freaked out, but being a martial artist had helped him with keeping his emotions under control.

"Hmm.. So... You say your human. But your not. Your more like a zombie.." said Tetsu, his voice a bit shaky. He tried to keep himself calm and composed. He didn't know what the hell was going on. He had been seeing monsters lately, people in robes with swords, and other things. This was just another freaky thing, maybe he was losing his mind.

Tetsu nodded, afraid to make the man wait. But as he did, he began to think. The man could take his body apart and put it back together. However, if the part of his body is completely gone... burned to a crisp... Maybe.. thought Tetsu. Though, he had no reason to attack this man with that kind of reason.

"Alright," said Tetsu as he placed his left arm horizontal, level to his lower ribs and his right arm vertical, level with his hand and shoulder. He put one foot a few feet in front of the other and kept his legs loose. He then moved so his left side was pointing to the man, making his body a smaller target, giving him less to protect and the man less to attack.

Tetsu went into action when the guy suddenly appeared and went for his first strike. He was surprised by the man's speed and the first punch nearly struck his forehead. If Tetsu wouldn't have dropped as quickly as possible he would've been knocked unconscious. As he dropped he did a spin, going for a leg sweep, attempting to catch the man's ankle with his foot and sweep him off balance to make him fall. If he succeeded he would follow up with shift his weight to the other leg that he used to sweep and bring his other leg up in a low roundhouse toward what would be the man's face.

"Baka!" cursed Tetsu as he pointed out his hand. He gathered the reishi quickly, forming his spirit bomb and threw his spirit bomb at the man. As the spirit bomb came in contact witht he reiatsu, it absorbed the reiatsu, growing in size till it was the size of a normal television. The more it absorbed the bigger it would grow.

Tetsu gasped as he pulled off his move quicker than he was used to. He took a few steps back to gather his breath as his shot headed straight for the man, absorbing his attack. Which Tetsu was surprised since he had never used his Spirit Bomb on reiatsu before. Which he called Reiatsu aura since he had no idea about it.
