Finally, something a bit different. With Iro's Bakudo descending onto the Shinigami, a quick Shunpo had him dodging the beams of light. When Takashi attacked this time, he swung a blade at the Captain while keeping one close to his body. "Good trick, but I see right through that." With Takashi's proven ability to simply make his swords as long as he needed at will instantly, shown multiple times now, Iro could see the attack that was bound to be hiding in plain sight. Stepping to the side, he once again severed Takashi's Gladius.
This time, Iro was right in his cousin's guard. It was risky, since the younger soul reaper could just summon up a new sword, however, his hand was still occupied with the other hilt. Iro had cut the gladius, but he hadn't broken it to the point where Takashi had his hand free just yet. The Captain snapped a quick punch at Takashi's face, making sure to keep his entire body away from where the knife was pointing. The punch was weak in comparison to the unseated shinigami, but the point was simply to deliver an attack. Iro had been mostly defensive this whole time, and an attack now and then would keep his subordinate on his toes.
Finishing his stepping movement, Iro uttered a single word and disappeared. "Kyakko" Suddenly gone from Takashi's vision and energy sensory, he stepped off with Shunpo to a random spot in the room, well over thirty yards away from his cousin. He was starting to feel fatigued, even from just dodging, and his heart was starting to race. His blood vessels were starting to push harder to get the liquid life through his body, and he knew that an attack was coming soon. He hadn't forced himself to fight until he had a full on asthma attack in quite awhile, and while it was exhilarating, it was also frightening.
Iro-san... Why don't you just let him have the position? Not only is he family, but he's shown himself as a capable fighter... He adapts and never backs down, even when you shatter his pride and his swords time and time again. From the seclusion of Kyakko's invisibility, Iro's Zanpakutou Spirit found a chance to speak. The spirit had a very limited amount of time to talk due to the nature of the Inner World, but always seemed to have great timing. He already received his grace as a member of my family... Though he is doing quite well. More training and he will be a fearsome fighter to try and overcome. I still need more time to see if he is ready for the Lieutenant position, though.
