Blind-Sided [FuurinjiVSCala]

She'd spent enough time moping around truthfully, the better part of the last month that was all she did. It had been rather difficult for her to find the motivation to do anything else, however it was beyond time to get her mind focused again. It just so happened that, intentionally or not, she had someone else available for doing such a thing, training had always been the one thing that she could rely on to focus her mind.

So it was that she was told by Ari to seek out a certain individual, to begin anew and start properly training herself rather than simply performing her duties as a Shinigami. She wasn't entirely sure why she had to go all the way to Europe for such a thing, but she wasn't about to question the why's at the present moment. She was informed only vaguely what she was searching for, likely intentional as part of her training, given just enough information to be able to know she found what she was looking for when she actually found it and naught much else.

However, while she did almost immediately did know she'd found what she'd been looking for... the thought did was not one that she exactly liked the thought of. However, she knew that Ari would have a rather big fit if she went back on her word now, so against her better judgement she chose to accept who her training partner was, and instead gave them a silent nod of her head. "Hello, I take it you are the one that Arianda mentioned? My name is Wakaba Fuurinji."

Fuurinji would have to admit, had it not been for the Arrancarr mask she might've been concerned about the validity of who this person was, however not only did it make them stand out quite a bit but to further add credence their response was something she would've expected. To ensure there was no miscommunication, it was always best to ensure the other was aware of the others allegiance. It was curious, though, that she called her as 'sister', though she wasn't going to question it... at least not right now.

Fuurinji had taken note of where the sword was placed, and assumed it was meant to show there was no aggression meant between them in the moment. Their assessment of Fuurinji's strength was rather accurate... at least for the moment, and for which Fuurinji gave a nod. "Indeed, it is for the purpose of training that she sent me to find you." She said calmly, giving one more nod as they introduced themselves as 'Cala', though their way of introduction was a bit curious. They had spoke as if it was more than one mind, a curious coincidence she thought.

"I see, well... I shall ensure you understand the training that I desire, before we begin." As she spoke Fuurinji lifted her right arm, pulling the sleeve of her Shihakasho back to reveal a black armband which she began to slowly pull from her wrist. "Though I warn you, your Pesquisa may not be able to get an accurate reading." As the wristband came off, Fuurinji's reiatsu began to flare wildly, coming out as uncontrollable jet streams.

She tossed the wristband to the ground before grasping both of her Zanpakuto's, raising the left above her head and the right down so its tip touched the ground. A moment later she spoke "Whirl and Howl" and made a vertical slice with each, bringing them to the position the other had just been in "Muraki Kitakaze!"

As a whirlwind whipped up around Fuurinji, her voice once more spoke up "To ensure there is no question about what this training is intended for, I request you release your Zanpakuto as well and hold nothing back." When she was finished, a three-taloned gauntlet ripped through the whirlwind and clawed it away to reveal Fuurinji now standing with a set of the gauntlets, one on each hand.

Fuurinji's brows furrowed as she heard the response given by her would-be opponent. Never had she heard of such a thing, much like Shinigami, an Arrancarr must have a Zanpakuto for which its hollow powers were sealed within. To not have said release, would mean one could not have been a hollow. Yet to be an Arrancarr, one must have gone through being a hollow and all hollows had abilities and powers uniquely their own. Yet here she was, face to face with one claiming to have no such ability. Was this meant to waste her time? Or was this Arrancarr lying in the poorest and most obvious way imaginable?

If deception was the intent, such a thing would be difficult around Fuurinji's Shikai lest it not interact with the air that surrounded them. Yet all things, physical or spiritual, interacted with the air, there was naught she could not detect. However it mattered little, for the Arrancarr sought to 'blind' her in other ways. Yet while this made it more difficult, it did not affect her entirely nor was she unprepared for being unable to perceive less than what the wind touched. No if anything it merely gave her a bigger target and made it easier for Fuurinji to single out where her opponent moved too and intended to be.

It was easy enough to tell the ability centered against the mass of the Arrancarr, aside from that it wasn't like they were nullifying the wind itself and even if the images she got were brief it was more than enough. "I see..." Were the only words she spoke back before both arms raised to her sides, mere moments before the two gauntlets were slammed together. If Cala had assumed her Reiatsu connected to the wind before, they would only now realize how little of that was accurate.

For now the wind was suffused with her Reiatsu, so much so that the world around them began to twist and distort, the ground below now warped to their sides and above, clouds stretched to surround them and trees seemingly broke themselves apart and cascaded all around them. "Even should you stop the winds itself, you cannot hide from its imprisoning gale." Her voice was not coming from any one particular direction, rather its volume changed in direction at a seemingly constant rate. One syllable would sound like it was coming from the left, and the next from behind.

"Either Arianda sent me here to waste my time, or she has something else in mind. Either way matters not to me, only the test matters."

It didn't go without notice what Cala's ability was doing, the longer it went on the more obvious it became what it was. Now it was crystal clear what it was doing, but for Fuurinji such an act wasn't something she wasn't used too. She never had full control over her own Reiatsu when it came to how it escaped her, so she was used to the ebb and flow, one could even say she'd become accustomed to adapting to that waning and waxing. It did, however, mean that Cala had a more keen awareness than most would have inside of her technique, something afforded to very few people who didn't have a substantial amount of reserves above her own. Indeed the keen pesquisa of an Arrancarr helped additionally as well within it, as it had no effect on spiritual senses themselves only the physical ones.

However even so his movements were not unheard, and even should the Arrancarr mask most of his minor movements within his Fade he did not seem to be able to hide the noise either they or his charging cero made. While impressively fast with its charging, Fuurinji was able to use her Shunpo to move sideways and avoid it, after which she used another to close the distance, bringing her right hand forward in a fast and powerful Tesshō. Rather than expend energy on things not her Kaze Rogoku, she aimed to deliver a strike that had naught but the full strength she had.
