Training for once {open}

Ryouko had gone to the training grounds to actually work on her skills, which were lacking. She had her long black hair tied back in a pony tail, instead of her usual school uniform she was wearing a tank top and shorts. That way she would have full mobility with her sword.

Once she was there Koi manifested himself. He stood there, his cloak barely touching the floor. It was still as dark as night, his eyes were closed as if he were mentally preparing himself for the training. "Are you ready Ryouko?" he asked her.

She nodded and put her hand on the hilt of the blade. "Yes." she said firmly. She hoped no one had heard her, since it would look like she was talking to herself.

Ish, who had been relaxing in a tree nearby, heard the young woman speak. He smiled, seeing her speak to what was probably her Zanpakto spirit. (Lifesight allows him to see into the souls of people, and Zanpakto spirits are the extension of a soul.) He leapt down, landing in front of her. He was wearing his usual robe, red with gold dragons running down the sides, with Jinsei at his side. He smiled at the woman placing a hand on the back of his neck. You know, it's a bit of a bad habit, openly speaking to your spirit like that.

Zilo came walking in and looked around it had been a while since he was in the Vizard warehouse. Especially the underground training area he looked over at Ish and Ryouko. He remember meeting ish once. "Hey i ahven't seen you since i was a rouge. And Ryouko i haven't seen you since we meet in the park. How has your training with Your Zanpaktou been?" He asked with a smile as he walked in and looked around. "This place is huge..." He said in amazement.

Ryouko looked at the man before her, she was quite perplexed that he knew she was talking to Koi. She didn't think it was that odd though. "Well being in the warehouse and talking to his isn't that bad," she said before looking at Zilo and saying "It's good but I haven't improved much. He says I need to get more used to the weight of the blade."

She had been working on it but the sword was huge and heavy, she was starting to think she would never master Koi Honoo. She shook her head and pushed the thoughts away, she wouldn't give up. She had to master him.

Koi stood silent, watching Ryouko with approving eyes. He wanted her to master him as best she could.

Zilo looked at her and pulled out his giant sword with one hand. "The way that i mastered my sword was at first using two hands to improve the damage then i started fighting people with jsut one hand. That way i can weild her like i do now." He pulled out a paper and stabbed it with his sword. Reokia came out of the blade she stood there looking at Koi and Ryouko. She was wearing a maid looking outfit and had a long skinny white blade on her hip ina black case. "This is Reokia." He said she looked like a weird girl. Long blondish brownish hair and had a giant chest and stuff. She was skinny though he looked back at her. "And she isn't that bad once i get to know ehr though she can kinda be a stuck up bitch sometimes.." He said looking at her.

Ryouko put her hand on the hilt of her blade. She didn't want to draw it just yet, but when she did she would be focused on training. "Koi's told me that in order to master him I would have to master shunpo, but it's hard to do with such a heavy blade. But I assume thats the point." she said. Shunpo while holding her sword was proving to be much harder then the she thought.

She looked at Reokia, she couldn't stop looking at her chest. She couldn't feeling a little inferior to her. Their chest's were about the same size though Reokia seemed bigger.

Koi came and jumped in front of her to scare her. It worked. Ryouko hadn't expected it and so she jumped back falling on her ass. "Koi!" she yelled.

Zilo walked over and grabbed her sword Koi though he knew that Koi didn't like anyone but his master grabbing him he did anyway. He drew the Zanpaktou form her hilt. "To shunpo with your blade..." He saw she wasn't lieing he felt as if he weighed the same as Reokia. He continued to speak. "To master shunpo with him you must lean with the weight. Say you take it in your right hand." He switched to his right hand." Move towards the weight of him." He said as he shunpoed far to the right with ease away form her and faster then a normal shinigami. "And then the left." He shunpoed to the left and ended right back up in fornt of her.."To go back wards use his weight by pointing the tip downwards to jump backa little bit." He shunpoed back wards."And to go forward. Point it forward in like a attack." He shunpoed right in fornt of her with her own sword pointing at her. "Once you learned to do this he won't be so heavy then once you get done you should be able to move with him much easier." He said with a smile.

Ryouko was shocked when he took Koi from his sheath. She watched him demonstrate with her own blade, she was mesmerized to watch him wield it better than she could.

Koi was glaring at Zilo, no one should have the right to touch him but Ryouko. 'How dare he grab me and wield me as his own.' he though to himself. He was even more shocked to see that Ryouko was watching him amazed at his skill.

Ryouko stood up and put her hand on her blade now pointed at her. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath before grabbing the sword by the blade and twisting it out of Zilo's hand and into hers. Griping the blade in her hands she felt better.

She felt a breeze blow on her feet as she centered herself, the breeze was calming to her. She could tell Koi was glad she had done that. She had burnt her hands when she grabbed the blade, but she was getting better control over the flames. The burns would be minor at best.

Koi nodded and stood behind Zilo, his cloak blowing. "You're getting better Ryouko, know that." he said kindly.

Ryouko looked at Zilo and asked. "Hey do you have one of those paper things?"

Zilo blinked a little bit at her question and nodded his head yes he did indeed ave another paper thing like his own. He pulled out another one out of his bag and showed it too her. "Go ahead and stab it whenever you are ready." Reokia was sitting there starring at Koi it seemed she was glarring at him for looking At Zilo with such a bad stare but she also had that look that she actually liked him. She finally spoke in a voice that was louder then Zilos but a little sweeter then his. "Why i have never seen someone so happy that their master could weild them once again until i meet Zilo and felt the same way." Zilo was surprised she talked for once.

Ryouko stabbed the paper doll and withdrew her blade. Koi now stood in front of her his eyes open and blazing red. He looked at Reokia and said. "Ryouko has grown much since we had become a team, and it pleases me to know she is improving."

Ryouko nodded, it pleased her to know she was getting better. 'Koi never used to say that sort of thing.' she thought. It then occurred to her that he was saying it now because it was true now.

Koi looked at Zilo. "Thank you for demonstrating but never grab me ever again." he told him. His tone was sharp and threatening. He looked back to Ryouko awaiting her next move.

Ryouko griped the hilt tightly before leaning forward into the weight of her sword. She attempted a shunpo at Koi, she was actually moving faster than normal. She adjusted the blade to the left and came at Koi from the side. Swinging her sword at Koi was easier as well.

Koi however saw her attack coming and caught the blade with a single hand, as if it were nothing. "Your lacking strength." he said bluntly.

Zilo looked at kio and pulled his giant sword in front of him. "Do not say someone lacks strength when you lack your own strength.In order for you to gain strength she needs to gain strength. So when you say she lacks strength you lack strength. If i tried right now i could cut through you if you tried to block my sword." He said starring at the man as Reokia yawned and went over and sat down.

Koi looked at Zilo and narrowed his gaze. "I simply meant that the force was lacking." he clarified. He did not like to be proven wrong.

Ryouko withdrew her sword. She didn't mind that the force with the sword wasn't strong enough yet. She was working on wielding it for now. "Relax Zilo it's just practice right now anyways." she said. She was relatively calm about it because she had just started.

She put the sword on her shoulder, in a bit of a relaxed way. "Don't relax just yet Ryouko." Koi told her. She wasn't planning on relaxing, she was hoping to try and increase her speed more. If someone came at her in an attack it would take her longer to swing her sword to protect herself, so if she could reach the speed where she could move it from her shoulder in time to block her speed would be better.

Zilo stood there and looked at them and sighed. "Ryouko i want you to attack me right now. I want you to try and cut me." He said as he put his blade away and stood there waiting for koi and Ryouko to come and try to attack him. He was prepared for it.

Ryouko took her sword off her shoulder, letting herself feel the weight of the sword. once she was used to it she leaned forward and attempted to shunpo to him to attack. Her sword at the ready and Koi nodding as if she were doing it right.

She swung the blade at Zilo's side to try and attack him.

Zilo simply did a back bend dodging the blade and comgin back up putting his foot behind hers and putting a hand on her shoulder and shoved her to the ground only to catch her before she hit the ground. "Try to keep your balance as you strike use the blades weight as your own and use its weight as strength." HE said pulling her back up to a stand and shunpoing away a little bit.

"That's easier said than done." she told him. She got back up and regained her balance, she had never had that much trouble with her balance until now.

Koi stood apart from them all, his eyes closed. The scar across his eyes was much more noticeable now. "She need's a lot of work but that's obvious." he said.

Ryouko glared at him a little. "Yeah I need to work but I am getting better." she said. Shr griped the blade tighter in her hands, but winced and loosened her grip before stabbing it into the ground. Her hands were burnt worse then she thought.

Zilo walked over to her and took her hand in his left hand. (Since right doesn't work.) He used the left hand to create a blue bubble like thing around her hands. Ryouko hands started to heal. The burns going away slowly but most defenitly the pain was going away. He continued this until there was no burn marks on her hand at all and looked up at her. "You ok now?" with a smile he stood up.

She had seen kido before but had never experienced it until now. Once he was done healing her hands she flexed her hand a little. "Yeah, thanks. I didn't know you were good with kido." she said.

The pain was gone and she couldn't even tell that there had been burns. "Maybe I shouldn't grab the sword by the blade." she said with a nervous smile. She felt like an idiot for doing that.

Zilo smiled a little bit as he took her hand to draw the swords blade and point it at him with one hand. He reached out and put Spiritual Pressure around his hand as he grabbed the blade without it burning him he had concentrated the spiritual energy to where he wouldn't burn then let go. "When dealing with a flam sword you must use your spiritual energy in order to grab the blade part so you won't be burned now hold your sword pointed out like that until i say to drop it this is a practice. so you can wield it." He said smiling.

"Are you the girl named Ryouko?", a annoyed female voice sounded from behind them. A 18-year old looking girl with her long black hair tied into a thin braid, pale skin, and two bangs fraimming her face. She was wearing a school-girl uniform with a skirt that went just above the knees, some red oval formed glasses and flat black shoes. She was carring a zanpaktou on her back in its holster. It could only be Lisa Yadōmaru, one of the Vaizard lords and one of the original founders of the warehouse.

Ryouko took the hilt of her sword, griping it tightly. She jumped when she heard Lisa from behind her. "Uh yeah thats me, why?" she asked. She turned around and saw her.

Koi looked at Lisa. "Can we help you?" he asked.

Zilo stood tehre starring at lisa his sword was still put away against Ryouko he looked over at her she was one of the lords liek the one he fought. Now that he thinks about it Shinji was with Ryouko those two where dating and he knew that she was in love with Shinji. He looked back at the girl and sat down reading a book.

Lisa inorged the boy who was apperently trainning her, and was glad he didnt intterupt. "Your one of Shinji`s girls arent ya?", she said, raising a eyebrow, befor she grabbed the girl by the shoulder, having a tight enough grib to snap the shoulder in a second, at least it feelt like that. "I am aware what the two of you did in my bed...its already enough i have to deal with Shinji and you newcomers on daily basis, but i dislike people making love in my bed..". She removed her hand from the girl`s shoulder and laid a hand onto her zanpaktou. "Im not going to kill you..just beat you up..."

Ryouko flinched a little when Lisa grabbed her shoulder. She expected her to be pissed but not this mad. "I'm not one of his girls I'm his girlfriend." she said shrugging off Lisa's hand. "I'd prefer it if you didn't act like I was his toy."

"And I'm sorry for that but well we were just going to borrow one of your magazines but one thing lead to another." she explained. She was being honest and if it worked she would have gotten a good fight. She griped her sword tightly.

"Do try not to get hurt too badly Ryouko." Koi told her. He was looking forward to seeing her in a real fight.

"For shinji there is no such thing as a girlfriend. Theres only a girl until a sexier or one who is more intresting comes around...". Lisa let out a little sigh, befor she withdrew her zanpaktou from the holster. She began to throw it from hand to hand, behind her back, over her head, and from side to side. Amazingly, she didnt cut herself or drop it once, and at the end, she wasent even looking at it. This prooved that she truly was a vaizard lord. Lisa was known to be the fastest of the vaizards, the only one who could match her speed was their leader, Hayami.

"Hm..i havent used my sword since my battle with the 3th espada around a year ago...i might be abit rusty..", she mumbled to herself, befor she took a stance, looking at Kyouko. "Only sword fight, no release of your mask..."
