"You
take on the Azdeha copy." Renji murmured, eyes darting to Chusei for
second, checking she was prepared. "I would struggle against a copy, I'll
admit that now." Chusei looked back just as breifly before grimly nodding
and bringing herself to stand beside Renji.
"Got
it. Will you be ok with the Byakuya though? I mean even if these copies are
weaker that the real things-"
"Hey I
have fought against the real guy before remember?" Renji smirked, eyes,
however, never leaving the Byakuya before him. Chusei didn't comment further.
She was tempted to comment on the state he was left in as a rustle of said
fight but now wasn't the time or place.
Watching
the pair before them seem to talk Chusei couldn't help but be a little too
convinced of who they were. Azdeha even called out and was wrangled back in a
way which was just like the Byakuya and Deha she and Renji knew. Before long
she shook her head and snapped out of her thoughts.
"Ready?"
Renji muttered.
"I was
born ready! I'm just going to pretend it's like the time she said I looked like
Rukia." Chusei grinned. Renji shook his head before there was a pause. The
mood hightened as the pair got serious. "Go."
Dashing
forward Renji was the first to clash with Byakuya who ran to meet him but
Chusei slipped past and turned to deflect a first strike and swung round
Shunen-Ryu to try attack herself. When Azdeha dodged out the way, a few hairs
ending up trimmed though, Chusei moved away to try judge the next attack. Next
attack she blocked, she struck out, it was deflected. Another strike from
Chusei, deflected. Soon the pair both had their backs to the opposing walls,
panting lightly. Up close the Azdeha really did look like the Deha Chusei knew.
She had certainly had convincing details added to her to look like she may have
been down in this horrid place for a while. In the back ground Renji and
Byakuya clashed loudly, Renji's unsubtle roars as he attacked echoing around
them. Looking right in to Azdeha's eyes Chusei didn't know what to think any
more, she was convinced but Renji was right, she had to depend on her senses
and she sensed nothing.
Familiar
frustration at being messed around mounting in seconds, Chusei kicked out at
Azdeha and used the attacks distraction to roll away along the wall to leave
her with space behind her and room to attack and keeping the battle between
Renji and Byakuya as far away from her as possible.
"You
sure do look like the real thing." Chusei crouched a little, glaring at
Azdeha, "Unfortunately if there is no reiatsu there is no reality to you
so forgive me." Shunen-Ryu glowed dully in the reiatsu-zapping corridor.
"I am not going to enjoy this but it needs to be done!" With the last
word Chusei lunged forward with another attack.
As Chusei
pulled away and frowned slightly when she saw Azdeha's eyes widen a little,
like she had said either something important or offensive. [i]'Bingo.'[/i]
Chusei figured the imposter realised she knew she was a fake. Smirking, Chusei
grabbed both hands on Shunen-Ryu and in a powerful move that made her zanpaktou
roar through the air toward's Azdeha's side.
