Kyouga VS Kaimei {Open for spectators}

Kyouga dodged the waves with his Sonido, but he recieved flesh wounds around his waist, lower back, and forearms. In any case, Kyouga could not sense Kaimei anywhere and the rain kept pouring down. "He's using the rain to hide. I can easily call him a fellow rival in this situation. I didn't want to use this, but won't be able to pull the same move again in this weather. I'm very sorry Kaimei for having to use this, but I have no other choice." Kyouga said quietly as he remained in the air. Just then, Kyouga summoned a high-class quincy bow with the help of his glove that Mayuri gave him. Thank you Mayuri, I am greatful that you bestowed upon me this great power. Kyouga thought as he gripped his bow, ready to shoot Kaimei at any moment.

OOC: Hope it is okay, to watch.
____________________________________

Daizai walked into the area. The garganta had let him out only about a mile out. He chose to let himself out, to give him enough time to lower and hide his Reiatsu, from everyone, but Kyouga. The area was wet and muddy. After getting his best boots dirty, he swore to himself. "Dammit." That little burst of anger pushed his Reiatsu up a tad, showing him to anyone and everyone. His hair was wet, and he could barely see. So, instead of walking fully into the area. He braced himself outside just a tad, to stay safe.

OOC: That is perfectly fine. Besides, I think the fight is finally coming to an end.

DeMare had been blushing since Kaimei winked at her. Damn, why did the Tercera be so... Tempting to her?
She had been sitting without a motion under the entire battle. Now, she had balled her hands into fists. She almost knew it. The Primera was far to powerful for Kaimei. She almost knew he would lose. But she didn't hope he would receive any mortal damage.
She bit her teeth together.

Sairento seemed slightly surprised at the moves his brother was using but made no effort to show any emotion. Instead, he sonido'd to sit beside DeMare, continuing to eat popcorn whilst watching.

From his hidingplace in the rain, Kaimei raised an eyebrow. A bow? Luckily, being a turtle made him able to see through the murky waters, even this rain. But was that really... A Quincy bow? Unbelivable. Kyouga had succeded in combining the powers of not only the Shinigami and the Hollow, but now, also the powers of the Quincy. If Kyouga mastered all the aspects of his own power, he would become somewhere near invinsible. A formidable enemy, or a powerfull ally. But right now, Kaimei was still in the wining postision. A bow is not worth anything if you cannot aim.

Making his voice sound like it came from every direction with his Reiatsu, Kaimei spoke.

"Kyouga-dono, Primera Espada, you have fought well. You have showed immense power, but you underestimated the power of my defense, and this became your downfall."

While he spoke, he had moved, silently, behind Kyouga, and now grapped him, holding Kyougas arms tightly into his body, locking his grip and preventing him from using his bow. Under his shell, Kaimei smiled.

"You lose."

Then, Kaimei fell. He was pulling Kyouga down with him, head first, to collide with the ground under them at extreme speed, boosted by his Reiatsu. Kaimei started spinning, so that the two Espada would hit the ground with even greater power, Kyougas head being the first thing to connect against the ground.

Kyouga knew that the plunge would be deadly, so Kyouga summoned the black rose petals and concentrated on quickly engulfing both of them in a large sphere made of the black rose petals. This was merely for a defensive purpose, and he knew that Kaimei had turned the fight around. Fortunately, though, the sphere absorbed the impact and created a large crater in the ground. However, Kyouga had actually imprisoned them both and blocked the damage he would have taken. "It's a draw, Kaimei. We will end up killing each other in this sphere. Yet, you could attempt to escape and be torn to shreds. Wrath of Black Rose is naturally strengthened when it is compressed upon itself as it is now. Sadly, we have gravely underestimated each other." Kyouga said calmly as he waited for Kaimei's response. The very moment he let go of Kyouga, he would surely perish. Yet, he was giving Kaimei the choice to give up.

They both hovered inside the sphere of pure destruction, Kaimei's armes locked around Kyouga, preventing him from escape. If Kyouga could have seen Kaimei's eyes, he would have known that Kaimei was not about to give up. Kaimei smiled by himself.

"Well played Kyouga, well played... But I am not about to lose my position as Espada because of a dirty trick like this. Not even if I should die in the attempt. That would just be... Too low. True, we underestimated each other, but the purpose of the fight was never to kill anyone. I challenged you to gain a bond with you, Kyouga-dono. I hope that the bonf goes both ways. But I assure you, I will never give up. Never. My defense goes not only for my body. It also keeps my mind from giving up, and I asure you..." Kaimei turned his head away from Kyougas back, as a small ball of darkblue energy started to form in front of Kaimeis face. "Nothing will stop me. Not even this wall of thorns."

"Cero Oscura."

The blast almost tore the fabric of the arena apart as the omnipotent Cero shot from Kaimeis mouth, opening up to the outside world. Kaimei knew that this hole would only last for a few seconds, and so he shot outwards, still holding Kyouga tight, flying at extreme speed through the whole, ripping wounds in his arms and legs on the way, as the thorns connected with his armor.

Kaimei had tried to aim his Cero as much upwards as possible, to not destroy the arena and possibly hit the spectators. Now, he shot out of the sphere, still holding Kyouga, and crashed down into the sands of the arena, panting, trying to catch his breath, but he did not let go of Kyouga, even though his grip had weakened. He would not let go.

Sensing that Kaimei was weakened, Kyouga mentally commanded large streams of the black rose petals to attempt to cut across Kaimei's back. While he did this, he also attempted to pierce whatever he could by extending his blade-like fingers. "Kaimei, neither one of us intends to lose. Unfortunately, you are growing exausted while I can still fight without hesitation. I consider you a great friend as well, but I shall not be the one to lose this fight." Kyouga said calmly as he explained that he wouldn't be defeated and lose his rank.

Slowly, Kaimei rised, Kyouga still in his arms. He felt the petals pounding his back. Luckily, his back was the most protected part of his body. His turtleshield made for almost unimpenerable defense. His front however was more vurnerable, and he felt the stings of Kyougas blades on his front. He didnt care though. At this point, he didnt care anymore. He had come to far to give up, and his powers were slowly returning. Now, he started squeezing. He tried to mash Kyouga, untill he would colloapse under the preasure. He could hold it, he could beat the pain... He could actually win!

Kaimei cried out, tyring to overpower his opponent in a squeeze of death, trying to ignore the pain.

Kyouga could feel Kaimei squeezing him to death, and it felt like he was attempting to crush Kyouga. Yet, Kyouga kept concentrating as he dug his blades into Kaimei as he started to really release his Spiritual Pressure. Finally, Kyouga decided to attempt to end it by roaring, "CERO!!!" This caused Kyouga's Cero be unleased right on Kaimei's front from the palm of the hand with the bladed fingers. More importantly, it was not easily escaped because Kyouga's blades were piercing Kaimei's body. Unfortunately, Kyouga would suffer damage as well. In any case, the cero was only to get Kaimei off him.

Feeling the energy gathering on his belly, Kaimei let out another warcry, then got blasted away, flying across the arena, landing on the sand. Slowly, he rose, looking at Kyouga. He panted, but he kept getting up.

"What will you do now, Kyouga? That Cero did more damage to you than it did to me."

Kaimei squeezed his eyes togeather in pain and softly touched his wound on his arms with his hands.

"I must admit though... Those thorns of yours are pretty impresive."

Kyouga knew that Kaimei wouldn't last much longer, so he could just force Kaimei to become paralized with his Summoned Darkness. "..." Kyouga said as he concentrated at Kaimei, and attempted to use Summoned Darkness on Kaimei. If Kaimei didn't move from his current position, the darkness from the seal that was appearing would completely paralize Kaimei. Of coarse, Kyouga didn't want to say anything because he finally had Kaimei in his trap.

Sairento let a small smile show on his face as he watched, pulling out his notepad and pen,beginning to scribble

Kaimei looked around him. The seals were fully visible to him now. He knew that there was only one thing he could do to win... And that was far from apropriate. This would be the lesser of two goods, but it would have to do. Kaimei had just taken a step towards compleate victory, compleate control. Though he was about to step down on the social ladder in Hueco Mundo, it was a small loss compared to what he had gained. Kaimei had won the fight.

He turned to look at DeMare, winking at her again with his left eye, then again turning his full attention towards Kyouga. A bit of water began to flow around him, he was now completely encased in it, then the bubble bursted. Kaimei now stood in his unreleased form, all his wounds cleansed by the water. He slowly drew his Zanpaktou, then put it down in front of his feet as he kneeled. He placed his one hand on his knee.

"Kyouga-sama, I admit defeat. You are truely more powerfull than I. From hereon, I have been stripped of my titel of Tercera Espada."

Kaimei then punched his free hand into the wet sand and bowed his head in respect.

"I am now your humble servant, your Fraccion. What is thy command, my lord?"

Looking into the ground, Kaimei smiled a grim smile only visible to himself, reflected in the puddle of water in front of him.

Kaimei had won.

It was at this moment that Kyouga was completely engulfed by darkness, and he reverted back into his sealed state after the darkness cleared. "I ask you only to think of yourself as a faithful ally. I recognize my Fracciones as my closest friends, and never look down on them. Kaimei, there very well may be times when I will have to temporarily steal your soul. However, you will indeed be stronger every time you are released from my body. This applies for my other Fraccion as well. I permit you to do whatever you want as my Fraccion, Kaimei. You do not have to be so formal with me either." Kyouga said kindly to Kaimei as he smiled and offered his right hand, the one with his Quincy glove.

Daizai looked as the fight was taking heart wrenching turn after heart wrenching turn. Then it all settled down. The fight was over and Kyouga had won. This meant that Dai had just found an open seat of power. Smiling he stood slowly. He then sonido to Kyouga, hugging him. "So, does this mean I have a new seat of opportunity?"

He said with a smile on his face. The 5th Espada was truly happy. He had power. He could not wait to claim the seat. But how did one go about doing that. Technically he had not killed anyone. So, what was he to do next.

"Yes, you just have to talk to Lord Grimmjow about it, Daizai." Kyouga said calmly to Daizai as he waited for Kaimei to help himself up.

Sairento disgustedly watched daizai as he slowly approached his younger brother, his eyes observing him. He had finished the drawing and it showed a dark aura around Kaimei, a devlish grin on his lips. He decided not to show this to his brother, but he had known that Kaimei had actually won. Sairento only glared at Daizai before patting Kyouga's head softly."Well done.'' Was all he said, before opening a garganta and leaving the area.



EXIT

After Sairento patted his head, he was going to say "Thank You" but Sairento left before he could say a single word. At this point, Kyouga was a bit dissappointed that Sairento wouldn't let him speak to him at all. Also, Kyouga felt like he had a greater power than what he had already reached. So, Kyouga was planning on training with his brother. "Kaimei, would you like to come with me to watch me train with my older brother? You should actually know him because of his long crimson hair." Kyouga asked and explained. Not wanting to call his brother anything negative.

Kaimei grapped Kyougas hand and rose to his feet, looking at Daizai with a raised eyebrow. Disgusting. This was why Kyouga had insisted on stripping the loser of his rank as Espada, so that his loverboy could get a pretty seat at Grimmjows high table. Pathetic really. But no matter. The titel of Espada meant very little to Kaimei. It was a fleeting titel at most, it came with absolutely no real power. It was a number, a way to show off who was stronger. And they did not match anyway. The position as Fraccion for the Primera gave him more power, as he was closer to the strong. His web of influence was growing.

Kaimei bowed lightly to Kyouga. "Of course my Lord. I shall try to be less formal with you. And I would love to see training between you and Sairento. But, I am thinking, what do you mean exactly by 'steal my soul'?"

He bowed lightly to Daizai too, as Daizai was now his superior.

"Sir."

"Basically, my ability 'Soul Steal' allows me to absorb souls within the area to become stronger. However, if I absorb any of my Fraccion, they will fuse with my body and the Ressurrecion form of the Fraccion will be added to my body. In your case, I would gain immense physical power and a thick shell along with my own Ressurrecion. Fotunately, I can separate my Fraccion's body from my own at any time. As I have said earlier, this ability makes my Fraccion stronger in return." Kyouga explained to Kaimei as he felt flattered to be called 'Lord'.

Kaimei bowed once again. "I shall be honered to join with you in battle. With my defensive abilitie added to your destructive power shall make you almost invincible my Lord. Henceforth, I shall be known as Kaimei, the Shield of Kyouga. This is my first token of obidience."

Kaimei put a finger to the corner of the 3 on his stomach. A small spark of blue Cero-energy hovered over his fingertip. Making an X with his finger, he crossed out the number that was tatooed on him, leaving a scar as a cross over his former ranking tatoo. He then bowed again.

"I am yours to command and to use."

"That's good to know, Kaimei." Kyouga said calmly as he patted Kaimei on the back, and then he sonidoed with Kaimei tow Las Noches. Kyouga was greatly surprised at Kaimei's loyalty, and they would indeed fight well together. With that, they both made it back to his room.
