[Ajraka Kuchiki]

(Training Thread for Senshi and Ajraka)
Training for TTP

It had been quite a while since Ajraka had had some time to herself. While she had certainly anticipated some sort of... response. She had honestly not expected the family to.... give a shit. She was just a beast after all. Why would any of THEM care about her? As it turned out, the matter was a little more complex than that. As it were, turns out that the Kuchiki clan didn't so much care about her, as they cared about how strong she was. Ever since she had come back, and the soul society had begun to echo with her spiritual pressure, it seemed that a number of Kuchiki had shown... pride for her. Her little foray at the Kawada party, and the subsequent good behavior that had happened during it, had startlingly caused Ajraka to have something of a.... good reputation. She had been reasonably sociable and in comparison to certain ladies of the Kawada, she had behaved spectacularly.

Parallelling Ajraka with Katrina had, evidently, become something of an uncommon occurrence. Not quite as rare as one might imagine. Especially given the Kuchiki's habit of boasting. And a mere stray otter being brought into the clan and being made into a fairly powerful and respectable young woman was something ot brag about indeed. Since her quasi-return, she had been bombarded by noble duties. Duties that had NEVER been asked of her before. Back then, she was kept under the rug like some dirty secret. But now? Well that wasn't quite the case anymore. If she were perhaps a less vain woman, Ajraka might have been insulted. But.... well... if it meant that there was less muttery talk about her father... then she was fine with it. she wanted the family to look positively on her adoption, and certainly it seemed things were going that way.

But even so... it was a bit... much. She hadn't seen her crew in AGES, and honestly she needed some time alone from her relatives. This was the manner in which the otter, donning her old outfit from when she was still technically something of a kit, and making her way out into the wilderness. In particular, a place that was somewhat close to where her ship was anchored. A nice big lake out in the wilds. At the edge of the lake, she smiled, and allowed herself that.... old childish grin as she gently let her feet splash in the water. But alas, it wasn't quite like it used to be. Rather than diving right in, she had rolled up her skirt, dipping her legs in and humming to herself as that massive tail of hers curled up behind her, daintily dipping her claws and humming as she watched the fish take little peeks at her feet now and then.

[Senshi Odayakama (Crimson.)]

(Training for CTP)
Traveling through the wilderness of Seireitei had been a short redheaded Shinigami with cerulean eyes. One may ask what her duties were this fine day...why was she here? As she walked, suddenly several hollow had appeared out of the forestry. They varied in size, and characteristics as they howled loudly. "Extend above the heavens and fly...Shonin Joka." Her blade had glown in red particles as it had seemingly shrunk down into a three foot tanto. "There sure are a lot of them...aren't there?"

The Hollows had charged in reckless abandon as Odayakama Senshi had leapt forward and had stabbed a Hollow through its mask as her blade would feed on its reiatsu. It had grown longer...absorbing 300 reiatsu and then getting 30% taller. It was now 46 inches, and Senshi had then pulled her blade out dodging a overhand smash by a Hollow in front of her. Quickly using the Shunpo, she would leap on its hands and then jump above it before stabbing her blade cleanly through the back of its head. The blade would absorb yet another 300 reiatsu as the blade would grow 30% yet again. It had now been roughly five feet as Senshi had a look of solemnless in her eyes. Seven hollow around her. She had dispatched them one by one through a similar method and taking their reiatsu into her blade. With nine hollow killed, 2700 reiatsu had been stored in this sword.

At the end, her blade had stood at a whopping 38 feet. Senshi had been growing accustomed to using her Shikai ever since she had unlocked it. Only one person in all of soul society knew that she possessed it. She was an unseated officer and so was often underestimated due to her ranking. Senshi had tensed her hands on her blade as it had slowly began to shrink in size. Senshi would be absorbing a quarter of this absorbed reiatsu into herself. It was the maximum her blade could filter for her. Senshi Odayakama had gained 675 reiatsu to her depleted reserves as she felt refreshed...renewed.

Sheathing her release, she had used the Shunpo one more time to head deeper into the teeming wilderness. There she had seen a large lake with a figure seemingly stepping inside of it. It was a beast clan member if she recalled. However, the way that she had acted gave Senshi a thought of wonder on what has happened to her? The thought would be pondered for a bit longer before Senshi would walk torwards the lake. She wouldn't barge into someone's buisness for absolutely no reason, but she was awfully curious.

[Ajraka Kuchiki]

When Senshi arrived at the lake, it might have been a little... odd to note that surprisingly, there weren't a lot of hollows around. Well, not whole ones. A GREAT many of them, however, seemed to be scattered around. Encased in some sort of hardened slime. What was left of them at least. At least fourteen of them were scattered about, with Ajraka slowly turning to glance over her shoulder as she instantly noticed the Shinigami's approach the moment they used shunpo to move in. The otter smiled softly and tilted her head a little playfully, as if recognizing that the shinigami didn't know how to approach her. So many years of being raised as a mongrel had done it's work. She was always going to be a little.. odd. But the time she had spent as a Kuchiki had also been considerably. And getting up, she let her skirt fall back down.

Ajraka was actually wearing a rather lovely dress. A chinese-style outfit one might find on a martial artist of a more royal persuasion. Looking like a chinese dress until it got down to the lap. Where more...formal attire might end just below the hips, hers separated into two cloths, hanging in the front and back, all the way down to mid-shin. The sides of which were open to show her legs. While the outfit was quite functional, it was also quite expensive-looking, and had even managed not to get dirtied in the grass she had been settled on. Meaning that it was either a very resilient material, or she was very used to making sure her clothing didn't get dirty.

The woman's head tilted, and those animal eyes scanned senshi for just a moment, looking the woman over casually until her body, at least to Senshi, would just seem to blip out of existence, the very next moment she was standing right beside the shinigami, admiring their zanpaku'to with that calm, soothing smile written across her features, as if it were some sort of lovely artifact. "You certainly look lovely. Not someone I'd expect to be in the wilderness, shinigami." She noted calmly, idly tilting her head before patting the woman on the head. If Senshi had ANY contact with nobles in the past, it was rather likely that she would somewhat recognize Ajraka from description. An otter dressed in finery, with a big, massive tail that was as long as the woman was tall. And fur so smooth and shiny it seemed to gleam in the sunlight.

Ajraka Kuchiki.

"I can see you've been fighting hollows." She could have smelled the stench of hollow blood fairly easily. Due to... desensitization, her senses weren't insane like many animals, but she DID know the smell of hollow blood fairly well. "So I guess that means you're here on business and not just here to join me in a swim." She chuckled lightheartedly, resting her hands on her hips. Despite how articulate she was, she didnt quite seem fully...mature. She seemed childish and a little over-happy. She definitely didn't seem stuck-up like any respectabel Kuchiki adult was.

[Senshi Odayakama (Crimson.)]

Senshi had been frozen also looking at the otter beast clan member. She had never met a being such as this before. She had seen her eyes staring into her cerulean. How odd it was that she had seen the remains of hollows encased inside of some sort of odd blue gel. What had happened here? Was this beast clan member fighting these hollow? She had observed the area and had found fourteen hollow corpses as she would turn her attention back to the being wading through the lake. She had wondered so many things as she stared at the playful looking woman. She was probably being rude but she couldn't help.

It was then Senshi's cerulean eyes focused on the clothes the otter was wearing. They were elegant as if belonging to a woman of nobility. Senshi's hair had been tied back into a ponytail kept shoulder length. Her uniform was two sizes too large for her frame and was tied around her waist and body with two sashes. She was also rather short...shorter than most other girls. Odayakama Senshi's Zanpakutou had a white handle and was ever so slightly curved. It stood 60 inches long within its plain black sheath although the sheath itself shined brightly. Looking torwards the woman in front of her, she vanished from sight having reappeared by her side. Seeing Senshi's senses had...yet to develop, she hadn't even noticed the appearence until it had already happened.

Stepping back in surprise, she had let out a small yelp of surprise. She moved incredibly fast. The only other person she had ever experienced moving this fast was captain July Kasumi'Oji of squad eight. The otter had looked torwards her blade lovingly almost as if it were line a family heirloom or something similar to that. It was then that the otter spoke. It certainly wasn't the most odd thing that has ever occured, but it still rather was surprising. "You certainly look lovely. Not someone I'd expect to be in the wilderness, shinigami." Senshi had blushed shyly from the complement and even more so when she had been pet on the head like a small child. Senshi had never heard of nor seen the otter Kuchki and so was oblivious to her infamous or famous reputation. That may change soon however.


"I can see you've been fighting hollows." Senshi wasn't entirely sure how the otter knew that. "So I guess that means you're here on business and not just here to join me in a swim." Did she sense her reiatsu from that far away? Senshi had adjusted herself as she tried to not seem nervous. "G-Gomenosai. My name is Odayakama Senshi, Unseated Officer of Squad 9. I have in fact been clearing out hollows in the area so that we may build more shelters along the area. A-Am I intruding? Senshi would seem timid as she couldn't help but feel intimidated. Looking to the floor, she had held her right arm as she avoided looking at her. As the otter just laughed lightheartedly, Senshi grew even more nervous. Stepping back to gain several feet away from the otter, she had awaited a reply. The sound of a howl would then interrupt the otter somewhere in her next response. A Hollow had been close by somewhere.

Senshi's eye had raised in surprise as she would turn to the east as a rather sizable hollow would appear from the wood work. It had been a 7 foot tall hollow with a horned mask. It seemed to have the body of a rhinoceros but stood on its hind legs. It's arms had been lsrge and bulky and the elbow and wrist had been separated in a V-shape as it had howled yet again. It had stomped causing the ground to rumble before abruptly charging. Senshi had drawn her Zanpakutou preparing for its onslaught.

[Ajraka Kuchiki]

Training for Senka Profficiency

Ajraka's head tilted for a moment, that smile of hers widening just a bit as her lips slowly parted. Of course...unfortunately for Senshi, she would be close enough to see every single one of those abnormally sharp teeth in her mouth as that hollow reared it's ugly head. A look of sheer enjoyment crossing her features as she turned about and that massive tail gently curved, forming a little wing around Senshi without actually touching them as she took a moment to look that massive hollow up and down.

"Well well.. look at that." She noted softly, taking a brief moment to admire the monster. She had to admit that the hollow seemed... like a bit of trouble. Honestly there was no way she could feasably just obliterate it without using up more energy than necessary, while at the same time protecting the young lady. She could just go full strength, but there was no actual way to tell whether or not she'd be able to take it down in one go. Bahhh, this was annoying. Even hebind that smile, she could feel that buzzing annoyance like a little hornet. Although... she did recall something that her mentor among the kuchiki had attempted to teach her.

Senka.

Or something to the effect. Supposedly back in the day, it was something of a signature move for a member of the family long ago. But of course as time had gone by, the use for the move had honestly not seen much use. More... simplistic deviations and derivations of the technique, as well as the base shunpo, had been used in order to try and achieve something similar. But her mento had always stressed that none quite had the same... finesse that Senka had. None could really compare to the Flash Blossom. He had even gone through great pains to not only teach her the steps, the rudimentaries of it. But the legacy it had left behind. It is more than just a technique. It is a presence. It is a weight upon your opponent. To slide past them gracefully, to destroy them without any obvious effort. Only the truly sharp would ever have any chance of even witnessing what had happened.
Because of Ajraka's obscene natural speed, he had been very adamant about teaching it to her. He hed gone on about how despite her... bestial form. Her tail granted her an abnormal grace, a balance that was far more natural than usual.

(Training for CTP)

With a sudden burst of reiatsu she vanished, her spiritual pressure suddenly flaring for just an instant, a spike meant specifically to stun, not using enough force to do any real damage. and for just that instant, Senshi would feel her own body suddenly subjected to how powerful Ajraka was. As if suddenly all the air were trying to be crushed out of her lungs. In that single sweeping motion, Ajraka used Senka to rush past the rhinoceros hollow. And of course, as she didn't have a blade, she simply plowed her powerful claws through it's body, ripping out that anchor to it's soul in two, fluid, almost impossible to follow motions.

To Senshi it may very well have simply appeared as though a hole had just appeared in the rhino's body besides the one it had already had. Ajraka standing on the other side in a gracefully calm stance. Not a speck of blood on her body save for her now crimson-painted claws on one hand. Not even bothering to look over her shoulder, she gently cleared her throat in the direction of the hollow.
"Slam Dunk, Sucka." She cooed before blowing a raspberry childishly at the hollow.

That was the Kuchiki for you.

[Senshi Odayakama (Crimson.)]

Now she had felt even more uncomfortable as the otter beast clan in front of her smiled. Her sharp teeth...the animalistic grin had surprised her as she looked intimidating. The tail of Ajraka had formed a sort of barrier around Senshi. "Well well.. look at that." The hollow had howled as it had leaned forward rushing torwards the two ladies seemingly planning on trampling them to death. Senshi had been utterly worried as she hadn't known just how capable Ajraka was in combat. "Miss! You have to move out of the wa-. A-Achh..." The woman vanished in a burst of reiatsu.

Senshi had been agape at the power she felt as it washed over her. The speed and power was beyond her comprehension as she felt like her breath was taken away. She hadn't been able to see anything that happened in that intense burst of grace. The hollow had fell to its knees and had then fallen facedown as it had died instantly as it's anchor to the world in half. Senshi had stared to the hollow seeing a hole in its chest and then blood on Ajraka's paw. This had shown she was so powerful that she killed the masked beast with her hands alone. It was admirable. It was magnificent. It was spectacular! Senshi had carefully sheathed her blade sliding it in as she was too shocked to say anything.

"Slam Dunk, Sucka." Did the otter just blow a raspberry at the corpse of the hollow? Senshi had shook her head relieving herself of shock as she would look to Ajraka with a look of envy. "T-That was amazing umm. W-What is your name? I don't recall you ever informing me on what it was." She was powerful, and well dressed. It almost made Senshi certain that this woman was a Shinigami on break, or a person of nobility. Senshi wanted to know this persons name so that she could remember the bearer of such extreme strength. Senshi had no doubt in her mind that fighting a Hollow with her hands would lead to death. She was a cautious fighter that made up for her lack of strength with Kido and sword play.

Odayakama Senshi had stared at the otter and her heart would thump slowly in her chest. Each beat was heavy and like a drum. Taking deep breaths, she had waited for the name. Upon discovering that this person was a Kuchki she had bowed in respect not at the last name but the sheer power displayed. Senshi felt that she needed to be become ever stronger. She may have had her release, but she had never gained the skills or strength to use it to its fullest ability. She needed to train...

[Ajraka Kuchiki]

Ajraka was still smiling even as the hollow was torn open, looking down at the dying corpse before she made her way back over to Senshi and smiled, a sudden slow build of her spiritual pressure as she continued to show off those devilish teeth of hers. "Bye the way, I'm Ajraka Kuchiki... did I introduce myself already?.... Hmmm... ah well. You'll know it double well now. That being said, there ARE some more hollows around. You really aught to consider learning a good move or two." She stated pointedly, folding her arms as she eyed the woman thoughtfully. Hmmm. Certainly she could tech the girl to maybe use Senka as well.

"I'm not very good at teaching, but..." she paused, smiling suddenly as she gently took Senshi's hand. She paused, thinking for a moment as she rubbed her chin. And then let go. "If an idiot like me can learn it then so can you. I'm not good at explining but,....let's see.... Do a Shunpo for me, I want to see how fast you are." She commanded calmly, her head tilting a little as she watched them placidly, her head canting to the side. If she could get a read on the girl's speed, she could just perform Senka at lower speeds, and drag Senshi along for the ride. It would be like adjusting someone's golf swing. They could potentially do it over and over until Senshi realized what was going on. Her body would get used to the motions before Senshi did but...

She would then pause and smile sheepishly. "Trust me, I'm sure I can get you to do this, you're just going to have to trust me. A little bit of practice and that's all you'll need in order to get this technique down." She assured the woman, confident that with some nice work, the shinigami would be able to perform the attack almost as well as she could. The very idea of it actually causing a bit of salivation as she felt and odd... enjoyment. The idea of actually teaching someone ELSE something was a little...cool. She'd sat through a lot of lectures, and had always thought that doing was much easier. MAybe if she could teach THIS shinigami her way, she could really rub it in that old fart's face...

[Senshi Odayakama (Crimson.)]

Now that Senshi knew Ajraka's name, she would make sure to remember the name. She was surprised to hear that she should learn a good move. That confused her in terminology. What was she insinuating when she made that statement? As she had come forward and even said that she wasn't very good at teaching but had then grabbed Senshi's hand with her paws. She had looked a bit nervous especially with the sharp teeth so close to her. This woman had killed a Hollow with her bare hands, and as the blood was smeared on her hands...she tensed. The redheaded reaper didn't want to be disrespectful, but the blood was grossing her out a bit. She didn't have fur like Ajraka did.

Looking to the dead hollow, she wondered how in the world such strength was possible. That hollow had been strong she could tell...freakishly physically strong. Ajraka was seriously confusing Senshi as she wouldn't even mention what she was trying to train Senshi in. Senshi or sometimes known as Crimson had been looking to do her assignment at the moment rather than train. This wasn't the right time or place for that. As Ajraka was apparently in thought, she had reassured Senshi almost as if like a mother otter trying to educate her young. Senshi was still worried though...what was Ajraka going to train her in? All Senshi knew was that this was some sort of Technique.

As Ajraka had asked Senshi to perform a Shunpo, she began to get an image on what she was going to be trained in. It was going to be that strange technique that ripped that hollow to shreds. Thing is, Senshi doubted she could move at the speed Ajraka was moving, and even if she could she most likely lacked the strength to perform it. Senshi didn't know how to deny Ajraka however as she stuttered as she spoke. "H-Hai. B-But I don't think I move as fast as you'd expect." Senshi had released her hand from Ajraka's own as she had stood a little bit back so Ajraka could witness her from a fair distance.

It was then she had suddenly dissapeared in a blur of speed as she would appear about twenty feet away. She had reappeared as she was traveling at the speed of 1000. Senshi had then turned looking to Ajraka and releasing anime sweatdrops when she had seen her salivating. That look of excitement in her eyes made her think she was going to get eaten or something like that. Senshi knew her speed paled in comparison compared to Ajraka, but she was sure that once Senshi became stronger she would match that speed one day...or so she hoped. Luckily she's only met allies with such powers...but she could only imagine the horror on if she ran into an enemy with these skills.

[Ajraka Kuchiki]

Ajraka nodded slowly as she watched the woman performing the Shunpo. Her head tilted slightly, thoughtfully in Senshi's direction as she thought over the type of fighter the woman seemed to be. Honestly it was always...interesting. The fact of the matter was that Senshi for some odd reason seemed to be particularly fixated on Ajraka's raw feats. But honestly it wasn't all that special. She had met a few captains that were around her speed, or at least close to it. The fact of the matter was that it didn't matter how fast you were sometimes.

As she eyed the woman's shunpo, she nodded slowly, and in the next instant. Senshi would see a blur. A motion of Ajraka. So much slower, but STILL something that Senshi couldn't see clearly. She used senka with low speed. Senshi's speed to be exact, sliding past the woman as her claws glinted. And she removed a perfectly square block of cloth against Senshi's chest and against her back. It did no damage to her actual skin, just making tiny little 1 cm windows in her clothing as Ajraka relaxed. It didn't matter that it was slower. 1100 speed, or 11x. was still very fast for Senshi. But it was good that Senshi's instinct was so high. She would be able to see, just a little, what had happened. And it was done at her.

Something very...special occurred when a blade swung. You could see someone slash a dummy a thousand times. And probably learn a lot. But nothing was quite like the experience of that same blade swinging for your neck. When you think you are in danger, you learn everything you can about the move. For most? It doesn't matter. The attack can often be too fast for it to matter when it comes to humans. But for Senshi, she would see it. Feel it. The tickle of claws along her skin, touching but not harming, as ajraka struck two points. If she had been serious, she would have ripped a hole through senshi's body from the front and the back. She had no CHOICE but to figure just exactly how the technique worked.

"Senka, or Flashing Blossom. My teacher once said that it was one of the more beautiful techniques. For normal shinigami it is just used for killing. Like I did with that hollow. But if you have a good eye, like I saw you have, you can do a lot more. For example, Instead of ripping a hole through your body, I could break your arms. I could twist your neck. This is important. Because the normal form of senshi si so basic. It relies on just slashing your enemy."

She smiled....

And thought back to the meteor shower. To the quincy she had faced so very long ago. "But slashing is not always an option. If you need to do something quickly, and without the enemy noticing. Senka is perfect." She paused, suddenly peering at Senshi. Actually, now that she thought about it, it might be dangerous of Senshi learned something like this. Ajraka sighed softly, smiling to herself. "I'm not like that smelly old man. If you don't want to learn it, that's ok. But you should know that you should start learning." She noted softly, eyeing Senshi for just a moment, using only her pure speed to suddenly appear infront of the girl, smiling a little as she gently tapped the young woman on the chest.

"I didn't grow up like you. I was flat as a board! So boys wouldn't ever try to save me. But I ran into a lot of girls......" She paused, thinking about it. Thinking about the Shihouin woman who had insulted her. Thinking about the noble little snot who had slapped Ajraka, and then had her boyfriend move in to try and stop the otter from doing anything about it.
She remembered what she did to them. Not even the guards had noticed a thing. Ajraka was very good at hiding what she did.

Stealth.

Stealing.

Focus.

Skills that made her not just powerful, but also gave her abilities, knowledge, things she could use to break someone who had speed and strength equal to her own. The ability to hide from an opponent. The ability to manipulate their body, taking something from them in such a way that they didn't even notice. And the ability to maintain full control of her body during, so that she could do them simultaniously. In the barest of instants, using just Senshi's speed, she flared her hand out, sweeping across the woman's vision, making it seem as though she were about to claw the girl's eyes out. And her tail moved too. But with her hidden skill. Senshi's senses were too low, and she had no ability to find things using anti-stelath, so she wouldn't see at all as her tail slithered out, and only using senshi's speed, gently pulled the woman's zanpaku'to from their grip.

In the end, Ajraka would have relieved senshi's zanpaku'to from her hand, likely without them knowing, using her combined skills. And just then, that blade in her tail, Ajraka would then gently poke at Senshi's knee using the hilt of their blade. There was a cance that senshi knew some sort of skill or had some sort of ability that would have allowed her to stop this. There were plenty of reiatsu techniques at her class that could make her feel everything within a certain area. Even if Senshi didn't have the senses otherwise. But from what she could see, Ajraka was assuming that Senshi didnt' know anything like that. Senshi reminded ajraka of herself when she was still new to the Kuchiki clan.

If she was, then Senshi was probably only focused on training her body and soul. And probably hadn't even bothered to think about techniques.

[Senshi Odayakama (Crimson.)]

Now this wasn't what Senshi was expecting. This was truly a display of skill that she never thought possible and it had widened her horizons quite a bit. Tiny squares of cloth from her clothing had been removed around one centimeter each as they were placed behind her back. She was frozen as her eyes widened and dilated. She could barely register what had happened at that moment as Senshi's instincts weren't the highest and most likely not the best for the job at the moment. She could feel the touch of Ajraka's claws against her soft skin. She took a deep breath as the adrenaline was pumping.

She could have had two neat holes bored in her body at that moment. As Ajraka was so kind as to explain what Senka was and what it's purpose was for, Senshi had thought about the potential and how it would fall in with her arsenal of techniques. She supposed if perhaps she was binding an enemy, it would be a useful skill...but she wasn't physically strong or fast yet. Logically it would never work against anyone of superior speed. It just wasn't for her at the moment. It was then the otter seemed to be in contemplation about something...about her.

The Kuchki had stated that she would not be forced to learn the technique, but that she should begin to learn to better herself it anything. This, Senshi found true enough and could agree with on many levels. She had stopped learning Kido quite some time ago and hadn't been taking on more powerful techniques ever since she had become one. She had even relying on all of the basic techniques, and had been trying to strengthen her skill in them instead. Was it really time for a change in things? Perhaps she needed to learn more about the art of destruction and binding. She honestly didn't know how to feel as she respectfully torwards Ajraka.

However, when a claw had been aimed to seemingly rip her eyes out, Senshi had been shocked as she had leaned her head backwards as fast as she could. However, the enemies tail had managed to nab her Zanpakutou in return. Senshi widened her eyes as the scabbard had poked her kneecap, and then she looked down to the captured blade. This was her sword that she treasured, Shonin Joka. This sword was truly her companion and comrade throughout battles, and a reflection of her soul...conviction "Bakudo#4:Hainawa" Thus Senshi would show her own craftiness and creativity in something she was skilled at.

A golden rope had flown from her palm wrapping around the white handle of her sword, and as Senshi pulled upon it, the rope had seemingly flown to her hand and in extension the blade which she held in her palm before extending it out with the blunt end in an attempt to hold it to Ajraka's neck. She would play along with this game of otter and human as she did in fact want to learn. She wanted to be the very best Shinigami she could be to increase her ability to preserve her life and also the life of others.

Senshi's blade had slowly been withdrawn and sheathed in the scabbard Ajraka still was holding as she spoke. "I understand all of your statements and concerns. I know what I have to do in order to become a strong Shinigami, and I will invest in that. A-Also...umm...I'm uhh. I'm not that big in the chest department." The girl had blushed as she looked to the floor covering her face as if she regretted making that statement. It would be rather humorous as it seemed her cheeks were tinging a rather bright pink.

[Ajraka Kuchiki]

The kido was rather interesting. As a Kuchiki, and the Daughter of the Commander of the Kido Corps, she had seen all sorts of kido, and indeed she had seen this one in particular before. Admittedly not from her father, but she had seen it. She was aware of it's function. Those eyes drinking in the sight of the woman pooling in energy, even she could sense the little pulse of spiritual energy that rippled it's way into being. As the woman unleashed the spell, Ajraka simply dodged, sidestepping with her ridiculous speed and casually setting the blade ontop of the girl's head, smiling to herself.

"Compared to how I used to be." She stated simply, smiling and shrugging as she patted the tiny woman, looking around before lightly stretching her legs a little, leaning from side to side as she adjusted her stance thoughtfully. "In any case. You should be heading back shouldn't you?" She inquired with a gentle cant of her head, smiling for hust a moment as she knelt down and patted Senshi on the head, as though she were a pup.

"If you like I can take you. It will be much faster after all." she pointed out, giving a nod of her head as she eyed the girl and leaned her head to the side. It would honstly take just a few setp techniques, she had an incredibly fast step. But in any case, there was still the matter of it just being pleasant. Sure Senshi had been a little...difficult, but she could not fault the girl for that, of all things. Especially considering how much of a help they had been thus far.
