The search (Natalia and me)

As she disappeared he figured she would make an attack so he began to move off to his left side hoping to avoid whatever she sent his way. He could feel her fingers brushing against his back as she made her jabbing motion. When he landed he turned to face her. She was a tough opponent. She fights with speed. Speed that I can't match right now. I can't beat her like that. he thought. He would have to try something else in order to beat her.

He planted his feet and shifted his weight around so that he could hold position but rotate quickly. He moved his sword across his body setting up a defensive position. I won't beat her by attacking her but if I make her come to me then I might just be able to figure out a way to win. It was the first thing that came to his head and normally his instincts about fighting were right. No point in second guessing his decision now.

"Your tough but unfortunately I cannot give up. That would bring more shame upon me and my squad then if I just lost. If I lose I can at least say I gave it everything I have. If I stop now they will forever mock me and I will never know if there was something else I could have done. So sorry I will not be leaving like you seem to want me to. You can either beat me and be on your way or lose and come with me. Either way this fight continues till one of us is beaten."

Natalia gave a soft grin as she stared at the target that stood before her. You know what i absolutely hate this but i suppose i do not mind useing it at least once. Hadō number 4. Byakurai. She then pointed her finger at the target as a stream of lightning shot forth from her fingertip. She was was able to go up to Hadō 10 but she seriously hated using things like Hadō and bakudo but she figured if it will aid her why not? "Disintegrate, you black dog of Rondanini!! Look upon yourself with horror and tear out your own throat!" Bakudo number 9 Horin! As she finished a yellow symbol would appear upon her hand and orange hued color tendrils would shoot outwards from the symbol and target the person who stood before her. SHe was not verry good at useing these incantations but she at least knew that if this hit it would put everything in her favor. Or at the verry least give her a way to leave the scene with causeing minimal damage to the one she was not all that eager to fight in the first place. If the bakudo hit it would paralize the target and keep him from beign able to move.

The attack would still be latched to the symbol on her palm waiting to see if it hit. She was able to cancel it decently quickly if she felt the need to. it made it a pain to use but it was something that she was always curious on if she could even get it to work in the first place. a soft grin formed upon her lips as she had hoped that this would be able to be over soon sense she really did not want to play with someone like him for to long. She had other things to do and many other things to play around with while the playtime was still fresh. In the end i do hope this works. after all if it does that means more time for me to look for some one a tad bit more... fun. She stated with a soft grin as she waited to see if the skills had any affect at all in the first place.

He wasn't expecting the her to use Kidō. She was clearly skilled with unarmed fighting so he wasn't expecting her to use anything else. He didn't react in time to the Hadō attack. He tried to move but wasn't quite fast enough to dodge it completely. He pain caused by the Hadō made it so he couldn't dodge the Bakudo. The tendrils from her hand hit him and he knew that she had won the fight. Even if he could manage to break free from her bakudo he was just not fast enough to be able to defeat her at this point. He could not allow himself to give up but he had a feeling that she wouldn't be sticking around for much longer. He tried to break her Bakudo but he knew that it would take him time.

Despite having lost to her he was still pleased with the fight. He now knew where he needed to improve upon. He could not bring her back with him but he did find out a lot more information on her then the soul society knew. Someone else may end up going after her to learn what he could not. He would work to become stronger and faster so that should they ever meet again the fight might have a very different outcome.

Natalia looked to him and gave a soft smile as she slowly noded her head. It was fun I suppose kid. She stated before she vanished useing her flash step. She decided it was best not to stick around to long not wanting to draw to much unwanted attention and not wanting to continue the fight anymore. She had an idea that something was bound to be comeing her was some time soon though in a way she could not help but wounder who or even what would they send the next time? She did however figure that it would not be all that impressive though in more ways then one she was looking forward to it all the same. She decided to go back to her training to prepare for whatever may end up coming her way. She was determined to be prepared when it came.
