[ShirokuHakudo]

Shiroku was shocked at the quckness he had when attack him, that Shiroku had been able to dodge but he was unable to dodge the Byakurai
"Damn..." he said as the Byakurai hit. About five feet form that a small indention come in sight and there Shiroku stood...his Zanapakuto guarding him form the full brunt of the attack but his right arm had alot of damage... No enough to stop it from working but his right arm no longer had a sleeve. He breathed heavy and as hi did his Zanapkuto forced way into the world that we saw.. She stood before him and smiled
"Shiroku why hold back your power so much... Release your Power to fight his with us together there is no way we can lose" She said with a calm and soothing voice. The Blood dripped from his face.. his white eyes now popped even more then before. As he stood there his Zanpakuto disappeared and Shiroku lifted his arm to the sky and pointed his blade to the new morning And a smiled crossed his face as his pressure started to rise.. the winds began to pick up and swirl around him and then a dome was created out of wind and the dust that it kicked up. Soon after light began to shine from it.. Then out of nowhere hundrads of blades shot out in all directions and some landed right infront and beside Hiyro . Then the wind died down but the dust lingered until a hand moved and the dust dissipated into the remnants of the wind. Shiokru stood there with more shaggy long hair that covered more of his left eye his torso was showing with black tattoo's that looked like Chains covering his body.. And His Reishi was gone... that was no reishi in his body at all or that what it seemed like. Before Hiyro could do anything there where 5 cuts in his Shihakusho but not on his body but marks where left. Shiroku stood behind him holding to swords but the started to disappear.
"Hmm only five for the first time... looks like im getting slow in my old age... what do you think Hiyro" he looked over his shoulder at Hiyro his white eyes seemed to show even more confidence then before. Shiroku picked up to other sword and stood not even 3 feet from Hiyro meaning Shiroku was quiet confident in that speed of his.. e stood there looking over his shoulder at his opponent with a smile

[Hiyro Yuzuki]

Hiyro felt a pang of guilt as his attack had hit, but it quickly passed. He knew that he hadn't hurt him too bad, and there were tons of healers nearby. It was all in fun, even if this beginning to feel like a real fight. Things were definitely getting more serious then a regular spar between captains, especially when his Zanpakuto's spirit showed herself in the physical world, something his own had only done once or twice his regular form, and it was never in front of somebody else. Hiyro studied the spirit carefully, hoping to gain an insight of some sort. Her voice was so lovely, it was almost like she was singing when she spoke.

When Shiroku's Zanpakuto disappeared, Hiyro knew what was happening. He never thought that anyone's bankai would be released this early in the fight, it definitely took him by surprise. Just as before, Hiyro knew that in order for this fight to be fair, he would have to release his bankai as well. This wasn't really the opportune place for that, but it could be with a little preparation. As the pressure in the air began to rise from Shiroku, Hiyro began whispering an incantation, speaking swiftly.

Kidō wasn't his strongest suit, but it definitely wasn't his weakest. As he spoke, his left hand began to glow as he wove different Kidō's together creating a sphere around their battle area, meant to make the inside invisible to anyone looking in. From the inside it appeared to have a rainbow color to it, but was slightly opaque. Now if someone were to look upon the rock they stood, they wouldn't see anybody, only the landscape that had been there previously. His next incantation added another dimension to the barrier, making it so that no spiritual power would leak through. If he was going to be releasing his bankai, he didn't want to wake up half of the shinigami while doing it. He also didn't know how far the battle was going to progress, so he hid them from the outside so if he had to use his secret ability, only Shiroku would be able to see it.

Even though the barrier took up much of his concentration, Hiyro still had enough focus to watch Shiroku's bankai transformation, almost shunpo-ing out of the way as blades shot in every direction, but saw that their trajectory would fall just short of his position, so kept his stance, not wanting to do anything to take away from the incantations. As the transformation finishes, so did Hiyro's words, the barrier complete. Quicker then a blink, Shiroku was able to put five cuts into Hiyro's robes so quickly Hiyro barely had time to process it, yet alone parry or block them. With this level of skill, Hiyro was happy that he took the measures so he could release his bankai.

"I would have to say quite opposite, Shiroku. I definitely didn't think that this morning when I woke up I would be entwined in such a fight. But that's what makes it more exciting." he said with a small smirk, putting both his hands on the hilt of his sword.

[ShirokuHakudo]

Shiroku stood there with a smile crossing his lips.. the blades that had been in his hands where gone and so where 18 more around his enemy he looked at the ground and then looked at the small marks one that did no damage. Shiroku was getting made he wasnt doing what he knew that he could... he was faster and he knew he could brake more then that..
"25..." he said softly Shiroku picked up two other swords and disappeared. Moments later Shiroku could be seen all over the field. He was counting at first it was in tens but then he he began to count in hundreds. As he was moving fast there was no way that Hiyro was feeling the fact that shiroku seemed to come from two ways at the same time. Shiroku was going at a speed that was insane it was hard even for shiroku himself to keep up with all of his movements that's why he had to count the number of swords that he broke. Shiroku stopped of a moment no more then a second then began to shunpo again this was a sight of his progress someone going that fast for so long wold get extremely tired and it would be all that inconceivable that he passes out before he could finish but Shiroku seemed to be strong without a real sign of slowing down. Soon Shiroku stopped hitting Hiyro but he was still moving at a speed that showed his everywhere
"494.... Almost enough for Bankai what do you think" He said smiling as he dashed around , as he smiled he began his barrage once again it was like a never ending blade storm as he shiroku dashed around his blades began to grow back or they came from the ground it was hard to tell what was happening. After 15 minutes of this barrage of swords it stopped and so did Shiroku he stood 11 feet from Hiyro his hair was over his eyes and spirit energy began to well up in his body once again. he looked at his opponent he was smiling like this was a game.. then all the sudden it shot through the roof
"794 blades broke...as i can see you se t up a barrier so that means you intent to use your Bankaii.. so its only fair i use mine." as he said that he picked up a small sword the handle was onlg but the blade was broken to no bigger then the size of a short dagger... and it was chained to the ground .. he pulled on it but nothing happened Shiroku sighed. Siroku stood there spirit ribbond began to wrap themselfs around his arms and chest as they did they started to make themselves to look like a robe.. this was his Banaki robe . As that was happening tiny white dots started to appear in the air and the blades shattered all of them they turned into reishi and started to come together on his blade .. There was quick flash of light and there Shiorku stood his hair seemed a bit more shaggy not but much his robes where white and not even touched by the dust in the air it eyes where white with a black like to show where the iris was. he stood there without moving for a long time he seemed to be waiting for something and he didnt seem to speak but then.... the light around his sword disappeared and what seemed to look like a shorter version of his shikai was in his and over then the chain that seemed to wrap around him and to his back
" Arashi-ken Kagegetsu... This is the true power of my Banakai... now ill wait to strike till you use your Banaki cuz if i strike now ill kill you..." He seemed to be very serious in his Bankai but his core person still showed the fact he wanted to fight Bankai on Bankai was just the was Shiroku liked to fight power against power and speed on speed it waswhat Shiroku lived for was the chance to fight someone as his equal maybe no even greater thats what he liked.

[Hiyro Yuzuki]

Hiyro was sure now that Shiroku must be the fastest Shinigami he had faced to date. A very admirable quality. But speed wasn't everything in battle, Hiyro had come to learn. Since the strikes Shiroku was landing weren't damaging him, Hiyro decided instead of trying to counter them or move, he would relax and observe. He still kept his guard up, but for the most part, he just relaxed as the view of multiple Shiroku's danced (not literally) across their battlefield. It was impossible to follow his movements, but Hiyro tried, but every time he thought he had a grasp on his speed, it slipped away as soon as it had come.

Hiyro stood still the whole 15 minutes, quietly and discreetly observing. He knew that the information gathered wouldn't help him in this battle in particular, but in the future it could be helpful. His heart raced with excitement as Shiroku finally let out his Bankai, awaiting for Hiyro to do the same before he attacked. Shiroku was right, Hiyro probably would die fighting in Shikai against his Bankai. This battle was progressing fairly nicely. Without answering, Hiyro didn't waste any time releasing his own Bankai with a burst of pressure "irozameru" he said in a quiet voice, his blade transforming. Unlike most Shinigami, Hiyro didn't change appearance with his Bankai, only his sword.

"Well, if you're finished your nice little show, we can begin the real fight," he said in a half serious, half joking tone. Waiting around for 15 minute had made him restless, his blade too, and they were itching to get the action started again. Not wanting to wait anymore, Hiyro held up his right hand, forming a ball of dark matter that floated in the air above his palm. Without a movement or sign that he was about to attack, the dark matter broke into three pieces and shot at Shiroku. He was hoping to hit Shiroku with at least one, but knew he would be smart enough to dodge them. Using his boosted manipulation, Hiyro shunpoed in front of his enemy, much quicker then his regular speed, but nothing compared to what Shiroku had just shown.

Hiyro didn't usually attack unless he meant to kill, so sparring like this was definitely a test for him to scale back and practice the intricacies of battle instead of the power of it. So he aimed a slash of his sword at Shiroku, hoping that he will parry and not dodge, the main point of the attack being making contact with his opponent. Hiyro manipulated the particles in the air and around his opponent's feet to increase in friction, hoping to slow him down somewhat. But if what Shiroku said was true, Hiyro was going to have to do much better then this, for Shiro had trained specifically to fight these tactics.






((I'm so sorry it sucks and that it took so long!! FORGIVE MEEE!!!!))

[ShirokuHakudo]

Shiroku smiles as she shards flew at him he stood completely still. His hair fell in front of his face and that could be seen was a small smirk this was what he waited for a attack one that might pose a challenge once they got within 5 feet of him the disintegrated the smiled left his face. was that all the Hiyro could come up with no he had more there had to be more. After he thought for a second Hiyro was right in his face with what shiroku would call a average shunpo for him of course. As his opponent swung down Shiroku swung up making contacts and just as they did shiroku vanished and his sword fell to the ground stabbing it and sliding in deep. Shiroku appeared behind Hiyro with the chain of his Zanpkauto to wrapped around his arm it was also around Hiyro's Zanapkuto
" Hiyro did you think i would just clash with you without having some kind of plan... i may not know your Zanpakuto but i know... YOU... how you fight and way you think. Im Shiroku Hakudo Captian of Squad 2 and fighting and capturing Shinigami is part of my job regardless of Rank or nobility." he looked back at Hiyro with the a smile he was starting to enjoy himself that much was seen Hiyro was starting to become serious but he wasnt full serious yet and shiroku was going to have to push that side of him out..
"Oh and Captain dont think you worm your way out of this my chains are made of pure spirit energy.. so its like a defensive move against your Zanpakuto." Shiroku said as he walked over and grabbed his Zanpkuto from the ground the closer he got the more the chains tightened. He picked up his zanpakuto and looked the head captain with a smile again
"Get serious and show me your really power stop holding back your spirit energy and fight me at 100% power i wont accept anything less and neither would you" he said with a smile placing kagegetsu on his shoulder

[Hiyro Yuzuki]

He could tell that his lack of putting his all into this battle was starting to aggravate his opponent. Hiyro realized that in order to win this was to stop trying to not hurt Shiroku and actually fight him like an enemy, give it his 'all', most would say. His sword was already trapped in his chain, it wouldn't come loose even with a firm tug. Hiyro smiled half heartedly back at Shiroku as he smiled at him, knowing that he had him fairly trapped. The smile faded immediately as he calculated a way out of the chain as his opponent stepped closer.

His mind played out scenario after scenario in such a small time frame. He had to pick one, and fast, and he had to make sure it was the right one. "Fine." he sighed a little "You have my word, I will not hold back anymore." the rest of his spiritual pressure released, weighing the air inside their bubble down incredibly. Gripping the hilt of his sword, Hiyro sent a very large surge of Reiatsu into the blade, enough to loosen the chain for just a moment, enough to pull it free, shunpoing away quickly to avoid another similar attack. He was already planning on what to do next even before he knew his plan would work.

Suspended in the air with footholds of dark matter, he took a quick steadying breath, plunging his concentration into forming five blades of condensed dark matter around Shiroku, each aiming at him from a different direction. It took only a moment to form them and the second they were done, they shot forth, growing in size as they neared their target.

[ShirokuHakudo]

Shiroku was actually surprised for a moment... not that Hiyro could escape but that Shiroku thought for a moment he could hold the Captain Commander. Shiroku blinked and by the time he did there where dark matter blades above and all around him then came at him with great speed and Shiroku smiled a bit
"Dark matter huh... Gurrengen Toppa Wave" Shiroku energy shot up like a rocket it was close to Hiyro's pressure for only a moment. Then a Gurrengen toppa stronger then any the other before it also seemed to crash against the dark matter like waves against rocks Shiroku shunpo'ed out of the area and started to breath heavy and his spirit energy dropped... He took the chain at the hilt of his Zanpakuto and started to spin it around in the air it started to glow a light blue. Shiroku stopped panting and grabbed his blade normally.. then disappeared and reappeared behind Hiyro with his glade glowing
"Gurrengen toppa" He fired it off at point blank range, his energy shot up then went back down .. Shiroku got down to the ground and started to pant again.. He was going past what he should but he couldnt stop not till Hiyro unleashed all his power not this weak stuff... Shiroku coughed up blood but made sure that Hiyro wouldnt see . Shiroku looked around getting ready for a attack he felt his body screaming and his arm was shaking...
"Damn it... Gestu-Chen" as he spoke the chain on the hilt went up his arm and then changed into a black tattoo ... Shiroku looked around more
"Just hold on a little longer on body...."

[Hiyro Yuzuki]

Hiyro was sure that his attack was going to hit, or at least do some damage. He was actually kind of disappointed when Shiroku was able to avoid the attack completely, spiking his energy levels to a level close to his own, if only for a moment. It was really quite impressive, actually. As Shiroku began twisting his blade, he readied for another attack, forming dark matter over his blade and body, making him appear almost like a shadow. It took an incredible amount of concentration to form the dark matter in this way, leaving him fairly unable to react quickly, but gave him a very nice defense against powerful attacks. Shiroku appeared behind him, Hiyro barely had time to turn around before he fired his charged attack.

The shot was fired as Hiyro was still turning his body, but his Dark Matter armor absorbed most of the impact, until his blade could take over. He fired off a blade of Dark Matter into the remainder of the attack, pouring his energy into making it condensed enough to repel the attack. Even though he tried to take every measure to not get hit, some of the attack did penetrate his defenses, adding new injuries to the ones from earlier. Wiping the blood that had formed on his lip, Hiyro kept his opponent in his vision, noticing his shaking arm.

"Don't push yourself too far on my account, Shiroku, I still need my captains to be in good fighting condition." It wasn't an order, more like a friendly request, but the Captain Commander was still worried. It would be very unfortunate to come under attack and have himself and a captain injured from a foolish spar. He would never be able to forgive himself if something were to happen to Soul Society because he didn't think about his actions. "You seem to be wanting to push me to my limits, Shiroku, I know what you're doing." he knew Shiroku wanted to test his strongest abilities, probably to either see how he measured up to them, or just for the sake of knowing the information. Hiyro trusted Shiroku from what he had seen today, and knew that if asked, would definitely keep the secret.

"The reason for my absence was to train my new found bankai ability. I was ordered by the Central 46 to only use this in dire situations, and to only tell a select few. Only those I trust. I trust you, Shiroku, so I will show you the final stage of my bankai. You will be the first other then myself to see him."

Holding his blade in front of his body, he closed his eyes, muttering a few words under his breath. Taking a deep breath, his Zanpakuto vanished, and a wind kicked up, creating a whirlwind of dust, clouding the visibility of their 'fighting dome'. Even before the dust settled, a pair of glowing red eyes burned through the dust, a large black body slowly becoming visible as the cover settled, revealing a snarling, horrifying dragon. He was about 40 feet tall, and appeared to be a skeleton, aside from the free flowing dark matter that flowed over the bones. "This is Kirai, the true form of my Zanpakuto." Kirai let out a roar after his introduction, vibrating the ground itself with it's volume.

[ShirokuHakudo]

Shiroku saw the dragon there was no way he could win against that head on and it was a great defense as well as offense... Shiroku took a deep breat and began to draw on Kagegetsus energy more and more. he stood there strong feeling the weight of his Bankai lift from his shoulders, He stood there his hair fell in front of his eyes it reached to about his nose and neither of his eyes could be seen. As he stood there his spiritual pressure increased to match Hiyro's even past it up a little but Hiyro couldnt have been going all out... but Shiroku was. As he released all his power a small crack in the barrier that surrounded them appeared with both there powerful spiritenergys clashing it was warring down on the barrier. Shiroku energy seemed to create a piller around him and his sword his blade looked whiter then before and Shiroku's breathing was different it was hard to hear even for the most trained of the Stealth force member... In a flash with no surprise we was gone.... with in a moment a huge cyclone formed around Hiyro and his dragon it was full of dust but it slow began to turn white till the whole piller was nothing but white.. it was Shiroku's Gurrengen Toppa As the Cyclone spun it began to change its shape and become a sphere all the dirt that was under Hiyro's feet slowly dissipated and turned into a bright light
"You said you trust me...well ill trust you.. Kagegeatu is Zanpakuto of light" his voice echoed and seemed to come from every direction.. "This is the Final Attack of my Bankai... Gurren" The Sphere finished it shape and then from the outside four curved points that made the sphere look like a spinning shuriken
"Gen Toppa" He said as the sphere began to shrink little by little and the four points began to spin faster As all of this was happening Shiroku was using his Shunpo to maintain the speed of the Shuriken as well as keep the points a equal distance from each other. The Sphere was now only big enough to start to entrap Hiyro and Dragon when Shiroku started to get over confident and drew on his own power over that of his Zanpakuto and the Sphere started to go out of control and Shiroku knew it
"Shuriken" as he finished saying it the four points wrapped around and and squeezed the sphere till the increase in it own power could be seen It exploded with a great force both inwards and outwards Slamming Shiroku a distance away into the barrier which now had cracks in its walls all over...


Shiroku's robes where burnt and ripped to shreds and he started to cough more blood then before.... as he stood there with his Zanpakuto propping his body up a white female stood next to him with her arms crossed as the dust cleared it was easy to tell that it was Shiroku's Zanpakuto
"Shiroku why didnt you lean on me more in that fight... it may be early but that Zanpakuto intrigued me" she said looking at all his wounds Shiroku stood there silent. Shiroku picked up his Sword and took a step...
"And how could i let it pass me by when i found out it was him how had to be trust above all other and to protect the Seireitei.. it was irritating... So i made a promise to fight him and win.. however if i lost i would agree and accept him back as Captain Commander..."Shiroku struggled his way over to Hiyro and grabbed his Shihakusho and held it tightly in his hands
"Hiyro with these hands and with my blade...Ill fight for whatever you say if you command it ill do it.. ill protect you with my life and also ill proect this world and all others.... " he coughed up more blood and breathed a bit heavier then before "Ill protect this world the one that my friends are in... my brother and all the defenseless souls...so swear to me that even if you dont have it now..Hiyro...you will gain the unrelenting will to fight for everything you hold dear..." kagegetsu came and held up Shiroku so he didnt fall.. as they stood there Shiroku's Bankai disappeared and his normal robes where just as ripped if not more... Shiroku looked at Hiyro and smiled..but as he did all the wounds that he had gotten from there battle grew and ripped open spraying shiroku's blood all over then place..Shiroku fell to the ground and became limp he was bleeding profusely but he was breathing that was very easy to see

[Hiyro Yuzuki]

Hiyro's hand rested on Kirai's shoulder, the dark matter of his body flowing over Hiyro's skin freely. Of course if anyone else were to touch it, they would be almost indefinitely bonded to it, and it would drain their energy quite rapidly. Kirai was a very deadly weapon, he was glad he would never have to face him. Of course he could just turn and attack Hiyro, but he wanted nothing more then to protect Hiyro. Giving up his sword was a sign that Hiyro trusted Kirai, with his life, as he was essentially useless. Of course him and his dragon had a bond that allowed them to work as the most efficient team, but they still had a lot of training to do together. Kirai has hinted that he has most abilities then just the ones he's shown, but that Hiyro isn't ready to learn them. Of course the Captain Commander trusted his Zanpakuto's judgement, if he thought he wasn't ready, chances were that he wasn't.

Kirai snarled at the dust kicked up, unfurling his wings to hold them out to protect Hiyro from the barrage of dust and dirt. Hiyro had to squint a little to see, but the wing was blocking most of the kicked up dirt. He was able to see the pillar closing in on them, the ground beginning to glow. A creature as big as this dragon definitely hated enclosed spaces, for good reason. He felt the dragon's stance change, and he shook his head, "no, you'll hurt all of us." he told him quietly, knowing that an attack of this magnitude could not be stopped with a simple physical attack.

This was the first time Hiyro was actually fighting a worthy opponent with Kirai, he actually felt quite useless. Becomingly painfully aware of how unprotected he really was without his sword, he pressed closer to Kirai as the attack closed in on them. Shiroku finished the words of his attack and it exploded unexpectantly, sending Shiroku flying across their arena. Kirai was able to absorb most of the blow, letting out a scream of pain, Hiyro groaning as their connection fed him some of the pain. At least he was able to help his dragon by shouldering some of the pain.

Blood dripped down his arm as more wounds were opened up by the remainder of the attack Kirai couldn't block. His barrier was cracking, he could feel it eating away his strength as it tried to stay up with it's now weakened structure. Just as quickly as he was called out, Hiyro had to call back Kirai, the mighty beast turning back into a simple katana, forming in Hiyro's hand. As soon as the dragon as out of site, Hiyro let go the energy he was feeding to the force feild the bubble dissipating in less then a second. He was injured, but not as much as Shiroku was. His lilac eyes fell on him as he was limping over to him, the dust finally clearing.

His eyes widened as he took in the extent of the damage. His hand instinctively grabbed Shriroku's as he grabbed his robes, looking up at the taller man. Hiyro nodded seriously "I swear on my honor, Shiroku." he said, staring back intensely. Along with Shiroku's bankai, Hiyro was also now supporting him, holding his arms from the front. As she disappeared, he was sprayed with blood, holding onto him tighter so he didn't fall to the ground un cushioned. Switfly picking up the bigger man, Hiyro put his body over his shoulders, his heavy body seeming weightless with all the adrenaline pumping through his body. He shunpoed to the division 4 barracks, setting Shiroku's bleeding body on a table in a private room.

A division member took a few minutes to get to them, while they were waiting Hiyro got to work on beginning to heal his Captain's wounds. He wasn't the best healer, but it was better then doing nothing, he couldn't just stand there waiting. A seated officer from division 4 joined them eventually, surveying the both of them. Hiyro gave a meeble smile to the other shinigami in place of an explination, looking down at Shiroku. "I'm pretty lousy at healing, hopefully you can do better," he said almost too cheerfully, clapping the younger looking shinigami on the shoulder. As if is wasn't enough pressure healing a captain, but to have the CC over your shoulder watching, that would be stressful.

But Hiyro wanted to stay to make sure that he was going to be okay. Even though he knew that he was in good hands, Hiyro just wanted to be there when he woke up. He took a seat in the corner of the room as the healer got to work.

[ShirokuHakudo]

Shiroku layed there as the squad 4 member healed his wounds they seemed to be healing up nicely but without warning Shiroku grabbed the arm of the squad member healing him
"I suggest you leave the room now... "he said faintly the squad member looked at him and his wounds they where to the point that they wouldnt make him bleed out but Shiroku was never careful the squad 4 member took there hand back and looked over Shiroku once more
"Sir if i stop now it will scar... let me at..." the member was cut off by Shiroku's quick but in stops the shinigami in there tracks he was quiet from the pain from the wounds but it was clear that he didnt wish to be healed anymore.. it was soft and strong in its own way it showed that loyalty that he showed to his Captain
"I with to carry the scars... the Scars that my captain gave me. Its like a pact that can be seen on my body and i with not to forget that pact" Shiroku sat up and looked out the window that a few feet from the room that he had been taken to.. without another word the squad 4 member left the room and Hiyro and Shiroku where the only two left in the room. Shiroku looked at the head captain with a smile he looked at the captain with his red eyes they didnt seen to have that same menacing attacking will like before.. they where soft and caring

"Oh Captain i forgot... i was suppose to tell you something" Shiroku sat there for a few moments then his fist hit the palm of his hand
"AHH HHHAAA" he said loaud enough the entire barracks could hear him he looked at the captain again and rubbed the back of his neck
"I suppose to report to your office this morning with a report on the Yana" he smiled for a moment... seeeing that this former Vice Captain had taken care of this kind stuff before he wasnt used to having to or remembering it all... Shiroku started to laugh he thought it was really funny... then his wound opened up again... a few moments later he was wrapped up and good as new he sat there his back leaned to the wall his face was serious but he said nothing and waited to hear if the Head Captain wished to hear it

[Hiyro Yuzuki]

Hiyro sat back and watched the 4th squad healer attend to Shiroku, taking the time to relax and even begin to heal some of his own wounds. His attention snapped back up to his Captain when he began denying healing. But he respected his decision, even though he didn't agree with it. A man's honor was not something to be messed with. After the healer left, Hiyro smiled back as Shiroku smiled kindly at him. Something definitely changed between them during that fight. Hiyro was glad that he had the opportunity to go through that with him.

"Tell me something?" he asked inquisitively, his body giving a small jump when Shiro exclaimed when he remembered what it was he needed to say. It was a very comical exclamation. But his face went serious when he mentioned the Yana. "What did you find out about them?" he asked, raising from his seat to stand beside the bed, not wanting to talk to Shiroku from across the room.
