A Good Old Fisting

Let us count the ways this wasn't going well dear people. Well when he felt like he'd punch and kicked a stone wall. That was the first indication that this guy felt next to nothing. He'd taken a decent shot to the rib cage and well, in his mind they were one for one. But however were it counted, one to nothing. And it wasn't in his court again, Kaede tried his best to become a good Shinigami. He wanted to improve badly and well this fight was one way.

He'd never considered the fact that this individual may of been higher up then Nathan, should Kidō be attempted perhaps. What good what it do though, I mean if he did a string of eight bakudo on him maybe he'd have trouble moving his arms. But that was about it, calculating the odds of success here. He didn't smile as he slowly picked himself up, the win had been knocked right out of him as he'd managed what may of looked like two clean hits. But each one felt more along the lines of two clean he didn't quite make it. His hand may of struck, both attacks were at full force.

So the next plan would be perhaps something a bit different, he wasn't going to go easily even if he figured a way out. Why would grabbing him and trying to do that help any, well couldn't just roll over and die.

Kaede's mind was fading and perhaps it was this that made him do something that had been done in his special training alone in the woods for months. His lips moved saying the words for Hadō 1 as the orb appeared not from a hand or anything like that. He formed the Kidō on his stomach instead, this was the first time he'd ever attempted it in combat. Kaede's focus wasn't quite there though and the Kidō exploded and blew him backwards just 4 meters from Moonie. That Kidō had stung, Kaede's eyes hurt slightly.

Ordinarily performing a Kidō of that nature would be a breeze. But performing it the way he'd just done it was something no one without a shikai had ever done before. Projecting the Kidō somewhere else than the intended area. This allowed for surprise and often times it would shock an enemy, he'd managed to perform this little trick in time to avoid a flick. He'd truthfully learned one other Kidō .

But could he do it and stay alive.
