Kusa vs. Bael

Post by **Prancing Mad** » Tue Aug 28, 2007 2:55 am

"Your getting slow Kusa. Tough it up, be a man, or you'll probably end up dieing." Bael managed to pull that off with a friendly tone. Of course, it didn't help that shortly after saying it, he swung his axe around his head once, thrusting it down towards Kusa.

Kusa immediately rushed foward, avoiding the bite of the axe as well as slamming into Bael and forcing him to fall back. The axe stuck into the ground, causing a small tremor. Kusa had pinned Bael to the ground just by sheer luck and he quickly jumped up to stand on his chest, pointing the blade of his naginata down at his rival's throat. "I'll admit that I've lost my edge, but I think it might be coming back at a rather fast pace.", he said, grinning down at Bael.

Bael smirked, bringing his hands up, and slamming them into the ground, rumbling the ground enough to topple Kusa off. He rolled backward, hopping up to his feet, then leaping over Kusa, grabbing his axe, turning around

"Nice try."

Kusa was once again laying on his back on the ground, only this time was a little different. He was snickering, clutching something in his left hand. "You know... It's been quite a while since we've had a good fight like this. By the way, you've lost something.", he said, getting to his feet. Aside from his naginata in his right hand, he was also now holding the obi (sash) of Bael's uniform. Kusa smirked, letting the obi dangle. "Now who's getting slow, Bae-chan?", he mocked, as Bael's kimono flapped loosely in the wind.

Bael yawned, reaching into his pouch behind him, pulling out another one. "Im always prepared." He spun his axe, tossing it into the air, and quickly tied the sash. He leapt into the air, grabbing his axe, and slammed it towards Kusa

Kusa merely side-stepped, barely avoiding the blade of the axe as it slammed into the ground a second time. He then dashed in close to Bael. "You're dodging the point, seme...", he quickly stopped himself and jumped back from Bael, clapping a hand over his mouth. After a moment, he let his hand fall to his side and stared at Bael. "Damn it... That came out completely wrong...", he said, moving in once again to strike at Bael. "Ah! Just forget I said anything!"

(Note: He's refering to when he said, "seme." He meant to say "teme," but instead slipped up. "Seme" means the one in control or the one on top. So, basically, Kusa just admitted that Bael was the stronger one.)

Bael smirked, hopping back from the strike. "Your right, I am the one on top." He brought his foot up and slammed into the ground, attempting to shake the earth, and knock Kusa off balance.

Kusa felt the rumbling of the earth and quickly stabbed the blade end of his naginata into the ground, clinging to it to keep himself on his feet. Once the shaking had subsided, he slowly let go of the weapon and drew it back out of the ground. "I told you! Just ignore what I said! It was a mistake!", he growled, swirling his naginata in his hand. The younger shinigami then lunged at Bael, throwing his strongest strike of the battle yet.

Bael quickly slid foward, landing on his back, and sending his foot toward Kusa's chest.

Kusa felt the breath forced from his lungs as Bael's foot slammed into his chest. He nearly lost his grip on the naginata, but managed to keep a weak hold on it. The world then did a flip as he was thrown aside, landing on his back in the grass. Though there was barely any air getting into his lungs, he managed to pull himself into a sitting position and slowly push himself to his feet. His naginata was once again used for support. Kusa was panting softly, the determined look in his eyes never fading.

"I'll hand it to you Kusa. You never know when to give up." He said, picking up his axe, smirking, and throwing it at him. "Catch."

Kusa's eyes widened as Bael threw the axe at him, knowing full well that he didn't have a good chance of dodging it in his current condition. The weight and force of the blade created a small whirlwind as it hurled through the air towards him. He simply didn't have the time or energy to dodge to the side so there was only one way to go. Using his naginata as a sort of leverage, he jumped up and avoided being sliced in half. His landing sent him stumbling across the grass and he eventually collided with his rival. "You... bastard... You're really trying to kill me...", he panted, raising his naginata.

Bael sighed, rubbing his forehead. "Kusa, please stop saying that. You can call this advanced training. Kaoru asked me to be hard. You never know when training like this will be useful."

Kusa blinked as he heard what Bael had said. He then looked up at the other shinigami, his naginata falling back to his side. "Niichan...? He asked you to do this?", he repeated. His grip on his weapon suddenly tightened. "I see... Well then, I wouldn't want to disappoint." With that, he swung at Bael again.

Bael merely moved to the side, grabbing a part of his Naginata that wasnt sharp, lifted his knee toward Kusa's gut, and yanked roughly on the weapon, attemptign to pull Kusa quickly onto his knee
