Memories (yoichi only)

Standing in the center of the forest where she and her idol yoruichi once fought. Soifon looked over the area with her eyes slightly sad and alone. Her hands where clentcjed in fists. She wore her sleeveless and backless punishment force uniform underneah with arm bands and traditional Chinese shoes. On top she wore her usual shinigami oufit and her sleeveless captains haori with the number 2 symbol on tue back with a yellow obi tied around her waist.suzumebachi was strapped to her back. Soifon sighed softly as the wind blew her hair and carried away a single tear that fell from her eye. Ever since yoruichi left the soul society and hasn't been seen since their battle. Soifon had felt as lonely as ever. And for the first time she blamed herself. Because of her attitude towards people they avoided her. And it was depressing when she heard about the hurtful things that where aimed at her. Leaning against the tree and forwning slightly. She let her head bow down slightly with her bangs falling over her pearl gray eyes. Hissing the sadness that they contained.

Yoichi had just finished his daily paperwork (and the paperwork that he had been putting off for weeks). He sighed tiredly, looking up at the sky of the seireitei. His regular shinigami haori was hilighted only by his liutenent badge, which hung loosely on his left arm. His zanpaktou, Hikaru-Ryuu, bounced up and down on his side as he walked, seeming to not have a care, just like its master. Yoichi's hair had grown out a bit, and now the raven black mess covered his eyes a bit, hiding the grey-blue friendly eyes. He remembered seeing many people while he was in the Soul Society, and interesting people at that. He took Yoruichi's words to heart and had to remember to be kinder to Soi Fon when they next meet. He heard someone in the forest where he usually trained, and he walked forward. He saw the Captain of squad 2, Soi Fon, sitting there. He could literally feel the sadness radiating off of her. He walked closer to her but stopped, wondering if she'd flip on him. "Soi fon-dono?" Yoichi said kindly, his voice showing that he was worrying about her.

Soifon felt the lieutenants spiritual energy come by and she straightened up completely before turning to look at Yoichi.oh....hello Lieutenant Sano..may I ask what is tour buisness here? she asked trying not to act cold towards him. After all he was probably just trying to help. Which struck her as odd for no one except yoruichi was kind to her. Soifon had the sadness hidden and her expression was strong. Her gaze dd not leave the lieutenants. She stood there calmly waiting for his response.

Yoichi looked at her. "This is where I usually come to train my martial arts." Yoichi said simply. "Since i'm done with my paperwork, I decided to come out here and train for a little while, to make sure I don't get rusty." Yoichi said, taking a couple steps forward, getting closer to Soi Fon. "But that can wait. I have to ask something. whats wrong?" Yoichi asked her, looking directly into Soi Fon's eyes, meeting her gaze. "You're not in the usual strong, independent mood. You seemed depressed." Yoichi asked, genuinely caring.

Soifon instinctively stepped back as he came closer. She wasn't used to be so close to someone. She looked away slightly at his suggestion that she was depressed. it's nothing lieutenant...nothing at all...and since you prefer to train on your own I'll be on my way...my apologies for distrubing you she added while turning to leave.

Yoichi put a hand on her shoulder. "Usually you have a confident tone in your voice. Your sad, I can tell. Your body movement and your voice say it all." Yoichi said, looking at her. "Besides, I don't mind if you stay around. Its fun having someone around when you train. That makes you better yourself. Come on, stay and watch for a while. Or join in, I don't mind." Yoichi said. "Besides, didn't you tell me one time you wanted to see Ansatsuken's techniques at one time?" Yoichi said, a light smirk on his face.

Soifon flinched at yoichi's touch and pulled away.Usually you have a confident tone in your voice. Your sad, I can tell. Your body movement and your voice say it all." soifon frowns.Yet let's him continue.Besides, I don't mind if you stay around. Its fun having someone around when you train. That makes you better yourself. Come on, stay and watch for a while. Or join in, I don't mind."soifon hesitates for a moment considering if she should join him in a sparring match or not.Besides, didn't you tell me one time you wanted to see Ansatsuken's techniques at one time?" soifon looked up at Yoichi and smirked slightly while slightly nodding.Giving in with a sigh. very well I shall join you.... soifon sunk back into a fighting stance with a determined smirk and glint in her eye.you better prepar yourself for I will not show you any mercy she warned while waiting for him to say that he was ready.

Yoichi smirked after he heard her say she won't show him any mercy. "Funny, because thats what I was about to say." Yoichi said, getting into his most advanced fighting stance in the Ansatsuken style, Shin Gouretsu-ken. He dashed at her, seeming to dissapear. He moved much quicker than a flash step, since he was using the technique Ashura Senkuu. All that was seen were a couple after images. He appeared behind her, his back to hers. "Don't leave yourself wide open like that, Soi Fon." Yoichi said before using Ashura Senkuu again to warp back to his original spot.

As yoichi appeared to soifon's side. The clone she had created from her shunpo disappeared. Soifon's spiritual energy was hidden completely so he couldn't sense her presence. Her footsteps never made a sound. Se appeared behind Yoichi and kicked at his legs. Attempting to knock him off his feet while quickly bringing her foot up and slamming her heel down into his stomach to bring him crashing to the ground. She smirked.they didn't make me leader of squad two and commander of the stealth force for nothing. shesimoly answered while tensing her muscles. Waiting for yoichi to attack or say something.

Yoichi was tripped, feeling her heel coming down on his stomach. Instead of letting out a yell of pain or atleast a grunt, he just exhaled slowly. He had tightened the muscles in his stomach to form sort of a shield to protect the nerves and vital organs. He just smirked. "Ansatsuken is a deadly martial art, remember that." Yoichi said before grabbing her foot and hopping up using his leg muscles, trying to knock her off balance. While she was off balance, he would put a palm to her stomach, infusing it with his reiatsu, causing his reiatsu to burst out in a wave, causing internal damage. Though he held back some, as not to cause major internal damage.

As Yoichi grabbed her foot she concentrated her reiatsu into her free leg then kicked Yoichi's side quick and hard. Which would cause him to release her foot. She simply shifted her hip to the side. His palm strike missing her by an inch. Soifon then aimed a quick jab to his arm,striking his pressure point.it wood either paralyze his arm or cause slight pain to it. Before he could react she jumped up and flipped her body upside down. Her hands grasping his shoulders. Her wicked glare gazing straight into his eyes.within a flash she flipped her body over. As her feet made contact with the ground she used her strength and speed to flip him over and slam him into the ground. Before he made contact,she shunpoed under neath him.her palms pressed to the ground and her legs shooting up for her feet to connect with his stomach sending him flying back upwards. She then shunpoed above him and aimed a kick to his shoulder.the force of the kick would be enough to send him back flying towards the ground. If all her attacks connected he would be bruised and some parts of his body would without a doubt be hurting.however she was holding back for if she used full force she would have broken his limbs and damage his organs. Soifon stood there in mod air. Looking to see what her opponent would do next.

Yoichi saw the jab coming, dodging to the side,grabbing her hand quickly. "Even if you are fast, this technique will cripple you." Yoichi said, a quick kick coming up from the ground as he heldy, her arm firmly, his hand glowing with reiatsu and canceling out any reiatsu going to that exact hand. It looked like a very simple kick, but it held a hiden meaning. For anybody paying close attention, they would see hundreds of kicks going at literally faster than sound speeds. This was Ansatsuken's technique known as Shin Jinrai Kyaku. But even if she had managed to dodge the attacks, she wouldn't be able to dodge the kickback from how he used his reiatsu to create after image forces of the kicks.

Soifon sighed.have you forgotten who you are up against? before his kick made contact a large amount of spiritual energy was released. Being a captain,she held a great amount of spiritual energy that was powerful enough to overwhelm any shinigami in his or her normal form. Rght now she was using it at half of it's potential. Using full power of her immense reiatsu could prevent him from moving completely.Regardless if he was a lieutenant or not. Right now he would find his movements hadess speed as it would be hard for him to move his limbs. Hard but not impossible. Soifon using her spiritual energy to give herself a power boost. She kicked his leg sharply to the side which would cause him to loose balance. She the. Twisted her arm. As he was holding on which would cause him to flip over.Soifon then pinned his arms down roughly with her hands. Her petite form sitting on top of him. Despite her size and figure she was quite strong. And due to her using her spiritual energy. It was helping her pin Yoichi down. Soifon smirked.you give? She asked in a teasing tone.

Yoichi smirked, feeling her spiritual pressure on him. "Pretty strong." Yoichi said, still not exerting his spiritual pressure yet. He felt her pin him, his eyes closing. "Let me go all out then, if you are." Yoichi said, exerting his spiritual pressure. Soi Fon would find that it was way beyond what any Liutenent should be. He had to thank Zilo some time for helping him train his spiritual pressure to the height it was now. Yoichi took a deep breath, exerting his natural strength and breaking out of Soi Fon's grasp, spinning quickly and tripping her up. Before she could even react, he dissapeared, coming down in only a couple of moments later, his hand glowing with a large amount of energy. "Ansatsuken Forbidden Technique: Misogi!" Yoichi said, his hand coming only an inch above her stomach. In reality, he could have cut her in half from how much reiatsu his hand had absorbed and the velocity he was coming down at. Though, from the force, she would probably feel as if someone hit her in the stomach with a sledgehammer.
