Jaeden smiled she'd done well to avoid his cero. A fine feat for the young woman as she now saw the new goal. She'd likely misheard him, but Jaeden wouldn't use his powers either. It was why he removed his hollow mask. Her strategy to circle him was good, but her footwork needed work. She was thinking and calculating so much about her moves. Jaeden's lips tugged upwards into a smile. He remembered a woman by the name of Mirja with similar problems.

She would think and consider her moves very carefully when she stepped. Jaeden didn't mind teaching her some of what he knew. It was a right of passage in some ways, you passed it on. He decided to mess with her a little bit, just for amusement.

Making a speed clone silently he began moving behind her and following her. Keeping a pace slightly above hers. This wasn't to show off, more to give advice. "You've got the idea, but don't think this is the only angle we can come from." He said before returning to his original position. Jaeden's speed was something he worked long and hard on.

But those days had come and gone, long gone were the days where he considered himself among the Fastest in the Soul Society. He could hold his own against some of the better. But he didn't feel a connection to the Shinigami techniques. They felt distant almost like the past.

"Tell me, how does it feel when you step? Are you fighting and pushing forward, what are you doing when you use Hoho?" Jaeden looked around at the air for a moment now. His eyes judging the clouds now for a moment before that familiar smile returned. One he'd lost some time ago after the events with Iriko.

"I think of clouds, myself when I use Hoho how they move freely and around the area. That's my hint for you, find what makes your Hoho tick. Is Hoho what you want to focus on, does it suit your path the most?"

He'd given Yoriko more advice then Mirja it was true. But part of that came down to spunk and the girl had it. He was also undergoing a metamorphosis as a person. Changing and trying to focus now and not then. Letting his past go from here on out. Though it wasn't easy, the sense of guilt still hung on his shoulders.

Jaden asked the her a question she never thought about before, she always assumed taking each step was just a simple matter of walking or running. How does it feel Well.. Now that he mention it, feeling the ground beneath her feet whether its gravel or even stone underneath i feel a sense of symbiosis so to speak like and the ground and her were one being.

Taking a few steps back shinigami decided to once again done earth armor, creating a huge boulder that she would hover on . Using a bit ofnthe armor and boulder to create slabs of rock for her to stand on, why didn't she think of this before. However she remember'd that she couldn't use her powers at all. So the earth protecting her body began to crumble beneath her feet. Like Jaden said she couldn't rely on her powers forever, sometimes she needed other ways to defeat opponents.

Yoriko, come on girl. You gotta get those bells. With a single step she would throw shuriken as well as Kunai towards Jaden..then use hoho feeling the earth and her were one. Slowly she would feel every step she made, as echo's of sound would come towards her and back like a bat using echolocation. One single movement would let her know he was bout to move, once she would her it it'd be the chance she needed to obtain those bells. And assuming his speed clone has the bells she'd attempt to grab those as well

Yoriko watched as Jaeden grabbed her kunai easily with one hand. Nothing too surprising, after all he could've spotted it a mile away but it was a step in the right direction. Suddenly she noticed her speed clone had drastically slowed down than before.

Yoriko stopped and stretched her body a bit, perhaps her bones needed a bit of fine fine tuning a bit of an elbow grease one might say. Perhaps a conversation to let his guard down..it was a huge stretch considering she wasn't good at lying but it was improvising at this point.

"Hey Jaeden, i remember saying you prefered hollow over your zanpaktou spirit.? Well tell him,her, or it i said Hi! She smiled, she may not be able to see inside of Jaeden's inner self but it had to have feelings like Ulv said.

And if they respond like a douchebag tell them i said fuck you. a rather playful tone could be heard amongst her person. She walked a bit placing a finger on her chin brown eyes staring at Jaeden for a few moments.

"You know its ironic how you're the nice guy whilst they act like a complete dick to you. Then again i'm only assuming after all. She shrugged, finishing her stretching jumping.

Hǎo de! Ràng wǒmen wánchéng zhège (Okay! Lets finish this! Btw) She said in her native language stepping and moving from side to side and around with her speed now it wasn't as fast as Jaeden's by a long shot but it was a way to handle his own whilst it got to the main target at Jaeden throwing every equipment she had on her person. Kunai's, shurikens, smoke bombs, and even flash bombs and paper explosions.

He couldn't stop them all at once and even if he did the resulting poison, blinding light or even explosion would be enough to distract him. If he was distract even by a millisecond the real Yoriko would focus on the clone and attempt to get him to ground level. Hopefully long enough to catch his clone and to get on ground level to sense him with the echolocation to make it easier to detect his moments. Though the whole thing may be impossible, however his reduced speed be enough to obtain those bells.

His speed clone obviously had to come out at some point and she was ready. Sticking to the ground and closing her eyes, not relying on her sight but rather the ground itself.

If he was caught in her grasp she'd attempt to grab the bells and smile. Finally a difficult task that she achieved. Whilst her clone would head towards Jaeden attempting toceontbe same, she then realized something..she used a fucking technique against him.
"Tā mā de tā mā de tā mā de! Wǒ wéifǎnle guīzé.!"

She pressed her hands together and made a medium sized boulder and chucked it at the ground. Screaming in both anger and dissapointment.

Oh god. I'm sincerely sorry for what i just did. Please forgive me she placed both arms on her body and bowed. She didn't wan't to seem like a douchebag and not apologize, it wasn't in her nature. Even Henrex knew and didn't want to too as being called captain and stuff left a sour taste in his mouth.

Yoriko rebuffled to Jaeden's comment about his inner hollow but not in a rude way. And him speaking Madarian was a surprise but nothing shocking, besides in this world learning multiple languages is a godsend especially in covert missions. Listening to his comment about him and vain's connection to one another got her thinking. "I guess your right. Ulv told me the same thing actually, it might take some time but like an animal you must make it obedient over time. Provided mine doesn't want to kill me right away.."

I pass? Well that doesn't seem fun at all, making it easy for me ain't what i want. I want a challenge, and i can't live my life having others pity me. But considering everything i've done i'll make an exception. she said noticing his speed clone vanishing whilst he set his zanpaktou on a nearby bench.

She looked at Jaeden as he explained a new type of game but moreso another training exercise for her to refine her hoho skills. Listening to the game he proposed wasn't a bad idea, giving a chance to recognize when she used a technique and a way to measure her effectiveness to maintain the amount of penalties she may receive to a minimum. Jaeden's mask formed once again and she was ready to combat another vizard in her lifetime looking closely to see what he'd do first.

She watched as he simple step back was his first move, however she couldn't assume the simplest things. So she attempted to step back to gain some distance, she could hear a loud thump sound and before she could even take her foot off the ground Jaeden was already in front of her feeling a poke atop her head.

sudden kido incantation released a red smoke around her to obscure her vision.
Jaeden's advice of his clones only coming straight towards her was a good start. But assuming they were going at the same speed as before it was time to retaliate.

First she quickly kicked up a bunch of debris into her vicinity, while it may seem like a odd choice of strategy it wasn't that.
Using her earth sensing ability she could sense as the debris contained a bit of rocks which was understandable to say the least. Sensing the clones coming straight at her, so using her flash step she immediately went behind the first clone and pulled using her evasive footwork and to

She stood still and got in the Bao Xing stance (or leopoard style) she began by bending the four fingers under her hands from her joints. Thus bracing them to apply pressure and attack the more vulnerable parts of the clones bodies.
She began delivering a series of attacks at a variety of different angles using variants of the rear cross, hook punch, and rear cross.

If a clone was close enough she'd initiate a knee strike aiming towards their the opponent’s thighs to the solar plexus, or even the face. Attempting to hit vital points. Using her hoho to increase her movement within her feet whilst keeping up with the clones if possible.

Succesfully Yoriko took out the two clones, only two more to go. Then she can get the bells, hopefully one of them had it as Jaden was sitting away from her. Probably making sure she wasn't using any techniques, she was glad her progress was improving slightly. Well at least in her mind, whatever the case she pulled two kunai's to block whatever attacks the clones dished out. And if she was successful at taking out one she'd get the last one.

"Okay now time to get the- suddenly a bolt of lighting was heading towards her direction. She tried to get out of the way but she so focused on the clones she wasn't able to register the Byakurai spell in time and was hit she may be able to sense from the ground but something like Kido was her greatest weakness. It didn't have anything to sense and as it was also a projectile of pure energy and not an object even if she was able to dodge it the kido would've been too much for her.

Jesus that hurt. she said as it hit her in the forearm, it was like a bee sting but thankfully no poison was involved. While it wasn't devastating as Jaeden was obviously holding back it was still a major disadvantage she'd have to get adjusted to. Besides not everyone is going to be cqc, some may use kido, others are a complete surprise.
