Just Two Pink Pals [Moe, Igen]

Igen did relax just a little and rub a hand along the back of his head, chuckling softly and letting out a little huff of relief. Glad that she was just joking. Gently itching the back of his neck, he gave a little chuckle. "Ah right, jeez you scared me. And uh.... no? She seemed pretty ok with the Date thing. And like...it's not like anything happened there." He pointed out, tapping his chin for a moment before relaxing a bit as Moe started to square up.

He grinned, an immediate change in his own energy as he put on a nice toothy grin and ...uh... then looked around. "Heh, I didn't have any plans, but hey you offered~ Uh... though. They got any ... bigger spaces? I wanted to try some stuff actually." He admitted with a canting of his head to the side.

Oh? If you're going to be trying the thing that Woman used on you, you can just give up now. There's no shot you actually manage to do anything CLOSE to that. She murmured boredly.

Igen however wasn't listening. He didn't care if it was impossible. He still wanted to ...FEEL it through. He was ...an okay study. But he learned by DOING. And even if it messed up and fizzled into nothing. He still wanted to try and FEEL his way through that thing she'd been doing. there had to be SOMETHING there right?

Igen grinned and gave a woot! "Sweet! I know just the place!" He exclaimed, promptly getting his thngs together and pausing as he ...looked around for his Zanpaku'to....oh right... tiger. He still was getting used to NOT having her around his waist. ....alright well now that just felt weird to have as a though-"OW!" He acked, wincing as Ko got up and SWATTED his calf with a paw before making her way out of his office. He rubbed his calf for a bit and then smiled as he led Moe outside.

From there he and Ko both began using shunpo to lead Moe off, heading out towards NOT one of the old training yards. But to one of the more...open training fields. The ones interlaced with forests. A bit more private than the normal training areas. Spots that were definitely for more selcuded sparring matches with the use of powers and such. Not TOO long a trip. But all the same, soon they would be out in the middle of one such field, with Igen doing a couple stretches, Ko simply sitting on her haunches waiting patiently. Both of them getting mentally prepared for the spar.

"Alright! any rules or anything you wanna go over before we get goin?"

Igen still put on a nice big smile as he watched Moe rifle through the notion of what rules to go with: namely that there wouldn't be any~ That certainly got Igen a bit pumped up, cracking his neck a little and rolling his shoulders as he got pumped for the encounter. Ko simply proceeding to get up onto all fours and slowly stretch, a silent yawn escaping her as the pair watched.

The release of Moe's zanpaku'to certainly caused Igen's brows to go up and a bright smile flashed across his face as he gave that big bat an appreciative look. "Oh wow! That's AWESOME! Heh, this is gonna be great." He grinned, and slowly crouched into a fighting stance, foxcusing as his own spiritual pressure swelled within him, an energy that was mirrored by his Zanpaku'to. And of course, with Moe giving the stakes, and gesturing for Igen to have at it? He obliged!

That sudden spike in spiritual pressure promptly dipped right back down as he concentrated his reiryoku into his own body. Promptly pumping himself up with Hakuda before his body vanished. A Sudden blistering shunpo closing the distance between them, Igen shot forward and aimed to plow his fist straight into Moe's bat! His knuckles layered with reiryoku to protect his fist as strength rippled through his frame thanks to the jump in Hakuda. In the very same breath, his Zanpaku'to used shunpo to shift in behind Moe, before ramming her head into the woman's mid-back!

Almost immediately Moe would find a clear and present difference. Igen was.... well..being his usual self. But his Hakuda had improved considerably ontop of his hoho. Not only that, but with the addition of Ko to the mix, she now had to worry about being flanked! While Igen was the direct, face-to-face kind of fighter he always was, Ko hardly seemed bothered with the prospect of circling around and hitting targets from behind while they were distracted by her wielder! Even so, she didn't seem to be going for using her fangs or her claws. She at least seemed to understand that this was a spar.

There absolutely was a blistering of flesh along the knuckles as he connected with the bat, but when the bat finally swung through and continued it's path, there wouldn't be a shred of injury to the skin. It was a technique Moe would be all too familiar with. Igen's special little preemptive Kaido. Pumping reiryoku into the spot preemptively, so that the wound healed as soon as it occurred. Though as Moe dropped down low under his arms and continued her swing, Igen dropped with her and bent over. Promptly looping his arms around her waist as she attempted to swing at Ko.

The tiger promptly LEAPT up something like a smile on her face as her body blurred, vanishing with a shunpo as Igen aimed to CLAMP his arms around Moe before she could escape! And if he succeeded, would HAUL her up and then SLAM her into a full suplex behind him! Driving her into the ground as Ko would promptly dart down from the air and aim to drop her full weight onto the backs of Moe's thighs to further drive her into the dirt. Resulting in a startled little noise from Igen!

All the same, either with the suplex, or with Moe just darting away, Igen would reset, releasing any holds he had and backing up a bit to .... give a hasty glance toward Ko. Clearly a little...startled with how well she was cooperating with his motions. "Uh.... Jeez Ko ...uh...huh.." He murmured. The Tiger glanced his way, before her body blurred, leaping up onto her hind legs and SWATTING at his back! A loud THWAP as he ACK'd and almost was knocked over.

PAY attention. Don't worry about me, idiot. I know how to fight. She chided him. Causing him to straighten just a little. "Right right uh... lets go then!" He adjusted, giving a moment for Moe to recover if she needed to before promptly he charged toward Moe, This time hardly bothering to use shunpo. As he did, Ko promptly began to shunpo left and right, zig-zagging to either side of Igen as he opened his palm toward the ground. Reiryoku crackling at his palm. "Hadō number four Byakurai!" He declared, but the Kido would never fire. Instead, he aimed to ram the spell into Moe's Zanpakuto in the event that she swung it, or simply toward her chest.

Of course, he'd powered the Kido down in the attack, he wasn't looking to blow any holes in anyone. But it would certainly do a bit of damage to her uniform at most, and more liekly act as a butter between his hand and her Zanpaku'to if they collided again, the spell going off on impact aimed to knock the weapon away so that his other fist could catch her in the chest.
Concurrent to his attack, Ko lanced around toward the side of Ko's dominant sword hand, lunging in and aiming to SWAT down with that massive paw of hers, aiming to jar the arm that was wielding her zanpaku'to, hindering her ability to swing properly or try to overpower the blast of the kido, the claws noticeably retracted as she struck.

POW!

The impact of spell and Zanpaku'to bunting them away from eachother! His brows furrowing as he watched the woman spin her weapon and then turn to kick at his Zanpaku'to! He had to admit, it felt.... difficult to fight like this. If this were a bar brawl? He absolutely would have just had Ko sit by. This felt....shit. But he also understood that this was about combat. Fighting for his life. Killing hollows. And protecting the Gotei. He could uphold his honor when he was dealing with his friends, having friendly matches for sport. But this was training. And BOTH of them had to step up. And at least be PREPARED to use their powers to their fullest.

And so as she turned to slam her foot into Ko, kicking the tiger away. Igen went right in for the strike, focusing in the moment as he felt the energy pump through him. A crackle of rieryoku pouring through his forearm. It was the closest thing to Shunko that he knew. It wasn't quite the same, and it was usually something channeled through an object, but still, it was as good a practice as he could manage. "Hadō number Eleven! Tsuzuri Raiden!" He declared, electricity coursing along his limb, as he promptly planted that palm of his into her chest, intent on sending her flying as well as rocking her frame with a good jolt. Nothing that would even particularly hurt or do any damage, but enough to shock her and give her a good startle.

Igen!

Heading her shouting his name in his head, He was briefly startled, turning in time to see Ko shunpoing in front of him. Oh... right. He promptly placed his other hand onto the middle of his zanpaku'to's shoulderblades and began to recite. Declaring the incantation while Moe was either recovering, or closing the distance between them again. And as the last words left his mouth, electricity then poured from his hand into his Shikai, crackling around the Tiger's frame. Now both of them wreathed in electrical current. Prepared for Moe to close in for more.

And .... in the back of his mind...Igen couldn't help but feel.

This wasn't right.
The energy was wrapped around them. But that was it? The energy was flowing around them, but not through them. Even that sparse, brief glimpse, no less the literature on the technique was clear. It was an ever flow in and out of the body. Even this was quite a bit to focus on. He could already feel his concentration straining just with maintaining these. Was he thinking about this the wrong way? Hm...
