Re: Fists Up. Sword Out. [Hono, Makoto]

MAKOTO ARIMA
Sword back in hand, Makoto took a small step back. The sword swinging and slicing through the front of her shihakusho where she took a step back which made her draw out her own tanto and use its sealed ability to extend the blade into a katana and hold it to the side.
The exposed skin from Hono's cut had a small scratch, it wasn't bleeding profusely and did only have a small trail of blood dropping down. It was successful in drawing her blood so Makoto did think that she had done quite well already, the focused application of her reiatsu allowing her a small wound against her.
At the same time though, Makoto didn't let Hono dwindle on her success and pushed back with her own slash towards Hono, avoiding the usage of her full strength and speed which might've just killed the pink-haired girl but she was looking to keep her subordinate from thinking a scratch would suffice in a real fight.

Red! That meant Hono did something! Well, it wasn't a lot of blood or anything but it was exactly what Hono needed to do. Was Hono gonna stop there? Hell no, quoting Makoto here, "If you're tired of being average, change that" Hono was gonna keep fighting Makoto till either, Makoto said that was enough or Hono was on the floor knocked out.
The pink-haired girl knew she couldn't just try to go for one big slash again, she would need to spice her strategy up a little. Though... with such a limited skill set how was she to do that? Well... improvision~
Makoto's slice landed, she tried her hardest to dodge, but it managed to slice her left forearm, thankfully not her sword arm, but damn she felt that sting. Hono would step back quickly giving herself only about three feet of space. Hono would look at her arm, before letting out a smirk. "I cut you~ That means I actually get more hits in..." She seemed a bit to excited...
Now, it was time for Hono to throw an improvised attack out. She would dash closer, going for a slash on the left side of Makoto. This however was a feint. Her slash had barely any reiatsu, hoping Makoto would go to block, Hono put her real strength into a sweep, hoping she would be able to knock Makoto down and go for a real slash.

Well, that was one way for Hono to look at it. In actuality because she had actually succeeded in the test of being able to focus her reiatsu enough to adjust and pierce the enhanced durability of Makoto's skin it just meant that the fourth seat would hold back less and pressure her more.
Couldn't have Hono getting ahead of herself, right?
Reading the fact that her reiatsu was unfocused and weak, she expected that it wouldn't have any actual intent to hurt her or rather, it wouldn't hurt her even if it connected due to the fact that she still maintained her own hardened skin. In response Makoto didn't even bother using her sword and instead flicked her leg up to aim for a kick square in the diaphram, expunging some of her reiatsu to throw her back a couple of metres if it connected and leave her winded.
"You seem a bit over-confident after scratching me."
Makoto was deign to even refer to what Hono had done as a cut.

That sweep went a LOT better in her head...What came next was unexpected. Hono felt that kick... it connected with her chest... she felt... all of it drain from her. She quickly fell and slid back, before getting up, coughing and gagging, trying to regain her breath. She bent over.
"Fuck... That... really hurt..." The girl would laugh a little. "You're over...confident... if you think I'll stop that easily..." Hono would retaliate back toward Makoto.
"It'll take you more than that to put me down, I don't care if you're 100 times stronger than me. I'll throw myself at you till you knock me out..." Hono would take a deep breath. This time, she was gonna try a different plan. Running towards Makoto she would raise her blade above her head, seeming to go for a downward slash, this time pumping some of her reiatsu, into the sword. This was another feint, as once Hono got close, she would go for a swift kick, pushing some reiatsu into her foot she would try and kick Makoto's stomach, seeing how much damage it would do.

Coming at her aggressively, Makoto took note of the downward slash and moved with the least amount of effort. Having her sword only held in one hand, she brought it up to block and once Hono tried to fake her out with a kick, Makoto's free hand goes to intercept the kick and grab ahold of her.
For a split second it paused, maybe some faint opportunity to react but with her hand around the ankle the fourth seat would advance and push her off balance and toss her backwards a couple of metres.
None of it was really aimed to harm Hono, rather manhandle her and keep her trying to overcome the obstacle that Makoto was making herself into. At the same time to try and build up a composure, frustrate her by doing this but teaching her that fighting wildly just left you full of openings.
"You favour feigns quite a bit."

Hono, let out a little growl, frustrated as her attacks were blocked so easily. She was getting frustrated. She was busting her butt and still getting slammed. Hono would stand back up from getting knocked down, she was getting more and more tired with each passing moment. Makoto called Hono out for using feint attacks.
"You're really starting to piss me off..." She cracked a smirk. Gripping her Zanpakuto. It seemed Makoto was always ten no, one hundred steps ahead.
"Let's see how many times it takes~ I'll throw myself over and over..." Hono would eye Makoto. She seemed unmoveable. The Shinigami would make another attack. This time going for a thrust! Aiming for Makoto's chest. Putting as much reiatsu into the thrust. Hono would also play defensively, watching Makoto's hands for any counter the woman may try. Hono was gonna show her determination and wasn't gonna give in so easily.

Dodge to the side of the thrust, advance forward to make the sword's length less valuable as she was closer. Thrust her knee up into Hono's gut and send her backwards a bit, probably wind her again. She'd continue this back and forth for as long as was needed to get the point across but Hono wasn't the type to give up. At some point through these various attempts made, Makoto was going to need to diffuse the situation and she didn't seem like the type that'd accept being told to stop.
She'd have to stop her in her tracks and disable her in a way that made her unable to fight but didn't hurt her.

Hono would let out a heavy grunt, feeling Makoto's knee strike her gut. Which caused the Shinigami to cough out as she was sent backwards, Hono held her stomach and took a few deep breaths. Her Zanpkauto which she had dropped laid next to her feet. Despite losing the fight, she would let out a soft smirk. "You... little shit..." She couldn't help but chuckle in response to what she said.
Hono would point directly at Makoto. "So... How am I doing on this little evaluation?" She raised an eyebrow, but after that Hono would pick up her Zanpkauto again, shaking a little bit. She did seem tired, and wobbly. Makoto would really have no trouble making her pass out if this kept up. Hono would run towards Makoto. This time her movements were sloppy particularly due to her tiredness. She went for a weak swing toward the woman.

"You've performed well."
She assured though wasn't going to drag it out any longer, especially when Hono's fatigue was showing enough to make her performance drop. There wasn't much benefit going beyond this, if Hono was in a real fight the tenacity was good but at this stage Makoto felt there was no more that she'd gain out of trying to topple her.
So the fourth seat delivered a swift but gentle tap to Hono's temple as she sloppily attacked, her reiryoku pushing into and gently knocking her out as to pacify her and give the white-haired shinigami a chance to sigh as it was over.
"Let's get you to the infirmary."
Makoto said to the unconscious figure and scooped her up as to not leave her in the middle of the training area in this state.
