A Friendly Meeting (Only Tenma Post here, please. Others, view at your own free will)

Tenma reached down and caught Kaoseu's wrist with his free hand before he could catch his leg, he then used Kaoseu center of gravity and pulled himself to the ground. He then flipped his blade around in the palm of his hand and brought down on Kaoseu quickly and powerfully.

As Tenma grabbed hold of Kaoseu's wrist, he quickly grabbed hold of Tenma's in turn. He saw the blade coming at him and leaned back and to the right saw he was near a tree, and grinned, then followed through by spinning full circle, aiming at slamming Tenma into the tree, but as he did so he brought his blade at Tenma's stomach.

Tenma twisted his body as Kaoseu spun around and was able to avoid the blade. He then twisted his body and put his legs out and landed on the tree against the tree with his feet. At this point he sliced his zanpakuto toward Kaoseu's neck while he twisted his own wrist out of his grip, and then kicked off of the tree. He then flipped over Kaoseu's head and landed behind him. At that moment he spun around and took a defensive stance.

As Tenma backflipped overhead, Kaoseu jumped and grabbed a hold of his cloting, getting him out of the way of the sweeping blade. He yanked down hard, forcing Tenma back towards the ground. Kaoseu fell after him, sword point down.

Tenma rolled to the side before the sword could get within cutting or stabbing range, he also brought his blade up and parried the sword before it could hit the ground. Right after that he kicked up toward Kaoseu's rib cage. He also thrusted his zanpakuto toward Kaoseu's leg as he did.

Kaoseu rolled in the air, regaining his composure as he landed next to Tenma who was still on the ground, but far enough away that his zanpakuto thrust hadn't reached him. He then proceeded to rush the grounded Tenma and launch a flurry o quick, concise blad strokes at him while he was on te ground, making tem relentless and hoping one would hit. He was careful to watch for any limbs at may lash out as well.

Tenma muttered under his breath, low enough to where he couldnt be heard. "Bakudo number 8 Repulse" He then allowed the first blow to hit the shield and thrusted toward Kaoseu's sword arm, while aiming a second strike toward the other arm right after.

Kaoseu saw Tenma's lips move and stopped the flurry and leaned back just as Tenma thrusted, after which he moved quickly, shrugging off his top jacket and wrapping it around the blade as it came up the second time. He then proceeded to grasp the blade firmly where he'd wrapped it and yanked Tenma up, bringing his blade forward as he did so.

Tenma quickly called out another kido "Engulfed by the need of want come forward Hado number 2 Reel!" He called as he aimed it for Kaoseu, knowing the Hado would force him into the shield. He then reached for his zanpakuto hilt and aimed attacks at the nerves of both of his arms, and his right leg. In an attempt to end the fight.

This guy was starting to play dirty. As soon as Kaoseu heard the incantation begin, he decided it was time to play dirty too. He quickly jumped to a low-hanging branch in the tree, wrapped his legs and arms around it, and held on for dear life as the kido steadily tried to yank him at Tenma and that damned shield of his. His fingers began to slip and he was just about to fall from the tree.

"Engulfed by the need of want come forward Hado number 2 Reel!" Tenma rechanted the kido in order to keep it going and smirked as he saw Kaoseu's grip slipping, he then held up his other hand and pointed two fingers at the tree where the branch Kaoseu was on met the tree "Hado number 4 White Lightning!" and aimed it right at that spot. He then chanted once more from the hand he fired the white lighnting from "Disintegrate, you black dog of Rondanini! Look upon yourself with horror and then claw out your own throat Bakudo number 9 Strike!" The plan was to blow the branch off of the tree, and paralyze Kaoseu so he could no longer escape from the Reel and ultimately hit the shield.

Kaoseu felt the tug become more pressing and strained at the effort of hanging on, which was short lived as the tree limbe broke. Kaoseu though quickly and turned around, letting the limb cut him off from view as Tenma finished his kido, as well as hopefully giving him a face-full of tree, and since he was out of Tenma's view, the last kido couldn't reach him.

Tenma jumped onto the tree limb and used it as a point to launch from as he shot toward Kaoseu, he reached out for his zanpakuto with one hand and grasped the blade, knowing it wouldn't cut him. He then held two fingers against Kaoseu, at the point where the bones in his shoulder connected with his arm. "Hado number 4 White Lightning." He said as he fired the close range hado. In order for Kaoseu to dodge, he would have to let go of the zanpakuto.

Kaoseu saw Tenma's plan coming to fruition and knew he was trying to get his blade back. He didn't plan on letting go so easily. As soon as Tenma grabbed the blade and pointed his other hand at him, he grabbed the wrist with his free hand and bent it back facing Tenma, aiming his own Kido back at himself. At the same time, Kaoseu brought up both legs and wrapped them around Tenma's throat and squeezed with vicious force, keeping a hold of his wrist and watching his other hand and legs as well. All he needed was about 45 seconds to keep his hold before Tenma passed out.

Tenma used the fact that his hand was facing him to his advantage as he chanted two kido "Hado number 1 Thrust." He called as he used the kido on two targets, one being him, and the other being Kaoseu. The result was being forced out of the lock he he was in, and flipped back in order to land safely on his feet. He then smirked evilly and moved quickly, and pulled Kaoseu's own zanpakuto out of the wall and spoke another kido "Hado number 11 Bound Lightning." The hado would channel electricity through the sword as long as he touched and he moved toward Kaoseu and swung into a mid range strike at him.

As Tenma began his kido, Kaoseu decided he was fed up with this kido user. He tilted a foot and forcefully rammed it into Tenma's mouth before he finished and tightened his hold, cutting off his wind pipe, making damn sure it was hard for him to speak, if not almost impossible.

Tenma was tired of this little game and knew that there were no rules to a fight. He charged some reiatsu into his fist and slammed it into Kaoseu's crotch with all of his power. He knew Kaoseu's couldnt get away due to his own leg lock, and they were simulating a fight after all, in which case you do whatever you can to survive.

Kaoseu cursed loudly as he felt the reiatsu increase and decided it was now or never. He used his gymnastically developed muscles in his legs to pull himself past Tenma and lift himself up slightly off the ground. He had to let go of the hand, but used his own to twist his body sharply, keeping his legs wrapped around Tenma's neck, which in turn was forced around sharply, effectively popping the top vertebrae out of place, not killing him, but paralyzing him at the same time Tenma's foot crunched down hard on his stomach, forcing the air outof his lungs and the world to go fuzzy.

Tenma felt Kaoseu's body shift and his foot come of his mouth and immediately called out "Hado number 11 Bound Lightning!" while he slammed his hand onto Kaoseu's leg, the current would force him to tense up, which would freeze him temporarily. Tenma then grabbed onto kaoseu's waist and picked him up with all of his strength, he then slammed Kaoseu as hard as possible into the ground.

Kaoseu grimaced and kept the moment on his body and launched himself off behind Tenma as he fired off his Kido at open air. He rolled on the ground, and threw Tenma's Zanpakuto at him as he rolled up beside his abondoned one. He stood and picked it up, then grimaced once more as he realized he still didn't have his second blade. Then he had a flash of genius and quickly undid one of his metal-coated sheaths and held it aloft like a blade. It was different, but it was a secondary weapon, one he needed. He grinned and looked back at Tenma and waited for him to retrieve his blade.

Tenma picked up his blade quickly and held it in a defensive grip as he watched kaoseu use his sheath as a second weapon. Tenma knew that this would be trouble so he also pulled out his sheath and used it as a second weapon. He then moved swiftly toward Kaoseu, and swung powerfully with his sword as he held the sheath back to guard should he need to.

Kaoseu watched as Tenma wielded two weapons, knowing he was not versed in combat as well as he was. Kaoseu saw Tenma rushing at him and took a large step backwards, thn held up his sheath under Tenma's blade to stop it just over his heart. At the same time, he used his blade toquickly lift it up and hold his over Tenma's heart as well. Before he could jump back, he grabbed hold of Tenma's wrist and held it there.
"Look. This is gonna get us nowhere. We can't beat each other. Right now, we're at a draw. If you press, I press, and we both die, and vice versa. And this hole you put in my arm is starting to itch. So what say you we conclude this in the future, when we both have more power and can determine a victor?" he asked, not lowering his blade just yet.

Tenma listened to his argument and nodded his head at the logic. "I don't have the reiatsu for any more kido. So yes I do agree, a draw it is then." He repled as he took his blade away from Kaoseu and sheathed it in its normal position behind his waist. He then bowed respectfully "A very nice sparring match my friend. I do hope we get to spar once again." He said as he came up from the polite bow.

Kaoseu grinned and as Tenma came up, he playfully slapped him across the face. "Equals don't bow to each other. There is a respect between that equality that does not need to be expressed through traditon. Here." he said as he lowered his blade and offered his hand. "Yeah, it was one hell of a spar, if I say so myself. And you don't gotta hope. I don't like ending things in a draw, so I'll battle you again one day." he finished with a grin, after which he would retrieve his other blade and regather his things.

Tenma caught the wrist, but heard Kaoseu's words and nodded his head "Count on it." was all he said as he turned and took his leave of the battlefield. He knew the next time He and Kaoseu fought they would need to have the entire field remodeled and he smirked at the possibilities. He then realized what time it was and rank home quickly, he had a date to get ready for.
