Wolf vs Wolf (Raygin vs Kura, NDE)

Kura smiled as he stood in the white desert of Hueco Mundo. The sound of hollow howls absolutely filled his mind with joy. He slowly sheathed his zanpakuto and so did his master sheath his zanpakuto. “That’s enough training for today Kura, now to test your newfound ‘skills’ "Colla said. Colla was his master and friend. He was a ruthless trainer but when they weren’t training he acted like he had known Kura since he was alive. Colla smiled as muttered to himself, Kura could barely hear what he was saying, suddenly a huge black hole tore through the air, it was as if it was tearing through dimensions itself. “Come Kura, we have much work to do in Rukongai,” Colla commanded as he stepped in the portal he had opened. Kura hesitantly obeyed and followed the Arrancar.

Rukongai

Kura and Colla were sitting on the edge of the town. Kura had never seen the Soul Society. Kura thought he would never see the place, as if his soul was doomed to roam Hueco Mundo forever. To think that if I hadn’t been devoured I would be living in this peaceful place. Kura thought to himself as he put his hand on his Katana. Ever since he had died he hadn’t experience true peace. If that damn Shinigami hadn’t been such a coward and left me to die maybe I wouldn’t be who I am today, maybe I would be living here, in this place; a place of true peace. Kura thought more intently to himself. Colla sighed.

“Kura, you are probably wondering why I brought you here, I have brought you here because I want to train you for real, in the home of our great enemies, welcome to the Soul Society,” He said as he scratched his bald head. Kura didn’t see the point in this, seeing the Shinigami would just make him angry and thirsty to kill. Maybe this is what his friend had intended. Kura still did not see the point of bringing him to this place, showing him the life that could have been.

Kura felt something warm and wet rolling down his cheek. He didn’t know what it was. It could’ve been anything, A spider? Maybe rain? With a jolt Kura realized what it was. It was a tear. "Why am I crying? It’s not like this means anything." Kura said to himself as he took in a deep breath and turned around. He could see Colla opening the black portal again. “Where are you going?” Kura asked as he walked towards Colla. Colla kicked Kura in the chest and sent him sprawling to the floor. “You must survive her for a while, I’ll call you when I want you to come back,” Colla explained hastily as he stepped in the portal. Kura raised his hand, as if to stop him but it was too late, Colla was gone and Kura was all by himself.

One hour later

Kura had wandered around for a little bit and had finally found somewhere to stay. It was a simple place. The Terrain was level, there were rocks of various sizes, the vegetation wasn’t much, simply shrugs and bushes. Kura hadn’t seen vegetation in a long time. In Hueco Mundo there was almost no vegetation besides a few worn out trees. Kura could see a shack there, Kura was tempted to walk towards it but had to keep his cover. He was hiding behind a few rocks and plants. “Come on out Arrancar!” Kura heard a voice cry out. Kura realised that it was a Shinigami, Kura hadn’t hidden his reiatsu very well so he wasn’t surprised that someone had noticed him. Kura decided he would simply slay this Shinigami, he needed the practice after all.

Kura leapt out high from behind his hiding spot. Quick as a bee Kura landed next to this Shinigami. Kura went to knife chop him on the neck, Kura didn’t know how strong this guy was so decided to play it easy for now, after all he needed to analyse him fist. Kura then quickly hopped back. "You called me out and now it is time for us to battle, bring it on Shinigami!” Kura ordered as he dropped into his fighting stance.

Kura gritted his teeth in frustration as he saw felt his hand simply swish right through the air. Kura frantically searched for his opponent, almost instantly Kura saw his Shinigami opponent a few feet away from him. “Hiya, good to see you came out. You weren’t who I was expecting to be honest. I was expecting a Spanish looking woman with really big boobs,” His Shinigami opponent said to him again as he scratched his head. Kura had no idea who this was and didn’t really care, Kura didn’t care if he was joking or not. If the situation had been different Kura wouldn’t of been listening so intently, this was a battle so he knew he would have to analyse his opponent and stay constantly aware. If this wasn’t a battle Kura would probably have been thinking of something else, maybe planning something else, he didn’t really listen to people much.

“Introductions should be done correct? It is only polite. My name is Raygin Sakubara, Vice Captain of Squad 3. I would shake your hand but I don’t exactly trust you.” His opponent said to him again. Kura still didn’t say anything. He registered his name and rank. It seems I might actually have my hands full in this fight. Kura thought to himself as he put his hand on his zanpakuto. Kura decided he might as well just give him his name as well. He wanted his opponent to remember him after all. “My name is Kura Syther, I am as you can see an Arrancar,” Kura replied casually as he tightened his grip around the hilt of his zanpakuto.

“If I am talking to much forgive me, but what exactly are you doing out here? You don’t seem to actually be doing anything nefarious…so could I ask you if you could just go back to Hueco Mundo? That way we both walk away with no injuries.” His opponent said to him. Maybe he isn’t in the mood for a fight but that’s not my problem, I just want to get called back later, he shouldn’t of come to find me then. Kura thought to himself.

Whenever he was thinking it was as if he was talking to himself. Kura smiled, he figured he would have to initiate the fight and then follow his normal battle strategy. Kura raised his hand as if in surrender, little did his opponent know he was actually gathering his reiatsu in his right hand. Kura then grunted as he thrust his hand forward, throwing his bala straight at his opponent. Kura didn’t wait to see if the attack had hit, using his natural speed Kura ran followed the blast and attempted to slash him across the chest. Kura didn;t stop and then he leapt back, landing on top of a rock so he had some height and an overview of the battlefield. Kura then made a quick note of his surroundings as he waited for his opponent. “Maybe this Shinigami scum won’t even be worth my time and effort,” Kura scoffed under his breath.

Kura watched as Raygin simply blocked the attack with his weird magic spell. What kind of spell is that? Kura asked himself in his head. He had heard Shinigami are masters of Kidou but he hadn’t expect his bala to be simply discarded with a simply blocking spell. Kura looked down on his arm, there was a large cut there. “How did he cut me?” Kura asked himself under his breath as he saw the crimson blood running down his sleeve and dripping onto the floor. ”If you stay then you have no chance. I have fought Arrancar far stronger than you and came out alive. I have fought a Arrancar that would put the Kraken to shame. I fought a human that would make the Hulk urinate himself. I have battled the Shinigami with the Ultimate Shield. And I even survived the most powerful flame Bankai in the Seireitei. So let me ask you this again, do you really want to fight me?” Kura was barely listening to this speech. He had realised what he had gotten himself into. He realised that he would have to do something.

His opponent rushed at Kura with high speed. If Kura wasn’t so good at analysing things he would’ve been shocked at the pure speed. Kura raised his sword up to his face. Luckily Kura had guessed right. The sword clattered against his sword, the force was so big it nearly knocked Kura off the rock. Raygin then kicked Kura in the chest, pushing him closer off the rock. Raygin pointed his finger at Kura. ”Sho!” Kura was thrown off the rock almost instantly. Luckily Kura landed cleanly on the floor. He bent his knees at the right time so he was in a crouching position when he landed on the floor. “Bakudo #4 Byakurai!” Raygin screamed as he fired a white lightning type spell.

Kura did some quick thinking and focused his Reiatsu in his feet. Kura then took one step using his Sonido. It made a loud sound and drained some of his reiatsu but he didn’t care, he saw the byakurai pierce through rock. Kura exhaled in relief as he smiled at his luck. Kura realised he had better end this fight as quick as he can. Kura gripped the hilt of his zanpakuto and put his hand on the edge of it. Kura smiled as he couldn’t believe what he was about to do. “Now reach out and claw, Ookami!” Kura screamed. His voice echoed through the air and battlefield as he could feel his reiatsu exploding.

Kura screamed as grey fur began to spout on him. His ears became as pointed as an elf. For a second Kura felt like he was losing his mind. His screams then started to become howls. His howls echoed through the whole of the battle field. His zanpakuto become bronze and shorter, it curved and it reflected the sun light. Kura sniffed the air as he saw his opponent. He regained his mind again, he felt completely normal again. “This is my release, Ookami, this is who I truly am, this is a brief look of what I used to look like as a hollow,” Kura explained as he gripped his bronze short sword. “You Shinigami slay hollows because you think I’m evil, if someone else had come today they would not be giving me a chance to escape, just admit it, you hate me because I’m a hollow Ragin, you and I have been through hard times at different times in our lives, we seem to both hate each other, I despise Shinigami just as you despise hollows, but enough talk now, now lets truly beign this battle!” Kura said as he raised his sword.

Kura then used sonido to appear behind Ray, Kura then went to stab him in the spine and go through his neck. Kura didn’t wait to see if the attack hit. Kura howled as he went to scratch Ray in the face with his claws, hoping to give him a large scar or maybe blind him slightly. Kura then quickly then ran backwards he leapt back so he was a few fifty metres or so away from his opponent.

OOC: Well Ray looks like I win cos you fucked up from what was said in chat.

Kura smiled as Raygin dropped to the floor, pretty much paralyzed and blood gushing out of his wound. His crimson blood dripped off his claws and bronze sword. Kura stared at his downed opponent, his eyes wide open, looking like an animal. Kura clenched his fist as his opponent could barely move. “Looks like that’s the end of your fighting days Raygin, it would be cruel to leave you laying there, no purpose, no movement, a messed up face, a ruined life,” Kura said as he still glared down at his opponent who could barely speak, he was obviously in pain. Kura stepped on Raygin, his eyes gave away no emotion. “You probably won’t survive this, you’re dying and you can barely speak,” Kura continued to say as he raised this sword.

]“With this strike I will end your suffering and future sufferings from years to come, good bye Raygin, I will remember you!” Kura announced as he raised his bronze sword, the sunlight glinted off the blade as it was ready to mince the Shinigami’s body. Suddenly Kura heard a voice echoing in his head. “Kura return to Hueco Mundo immediately, there are urgent matters that you must attend to, stop whatever you’re doing and get over here!”The voice commanded. Kura realised instantly that it was Colla calling for him. Maybe he needed help? Kura then could sense something. Oh crap it’s probably more Shinigami coming, I need to get out of here right now! Kura thought to himself as he hastily opened the portal.

Kura took one last glance at his fallen foe. Kura felt no sympathy for him, it was the fact he could not end this man’s suffering, Kura didn’t enjoy killing, especially when it was because someone had just been trying to defend their home. That’s just war I guess. Kura thought to himself as he hastily went into the portal. He figured the man’s friends would come and heal him from his wounds and he’d be healthy again. If they arrived too late or he didn’t get the right treatment he’d die painfully.
