Sixth Division Barracks

Kutsu had returned to soul society, and put his book away in his trench coat pocket. Walking into his barracks, he'd see the several rooms among it. On his immediately left, was the hallway which led to his room, the second largest in the barracks. Directly down the hall, the very last door straight in front was his lieutenants room. The room on his immediate right, was the relaxation room. It was the first largest room in the building. It had a wall lined with shelves, full of books. It was the back wall, so there was more space for other things. It also had couches, and several other accessories for the members of division 6 to use. The next door on the left, was the restroom. It had a larger bathtub, with jacuzzi features, as well as a shower next to that tub. One sink, one toilet, and a pantry-like closet for towels, rags, and things. A basket was in the room for dirty laundry. The final room on the left was the training room of the barracks. It contained various weapons, as well dummies and targets, and the washer and drier of the barracks. He'd take his sandals off, leaving them on a mat by the door and proceeding down the hallway to his room. He had a large king-sized bed, enough for two and a half people, taking up the right side of the room. The north wall was lined with bookshelves, with a larger desk in the corner that had a reading lamp on it, as well as at least fifty papers. There was a cup, with pens, pencils, and other things inside. Several drawers were filled with paper, and necessities. The left side of the room was a large window looking out on Soul Society, with a three-cushion couch in front of it so that Kutsu could lay or sit on it to view out at the world. Or simply use the window light to read when the desk got uncomfortable. Walking in, he'd remove his book from his trenchcoat, setting it down on the desk in the corner. Following it, he'd remove his trenchcoat and lay it over the desk chair. Then, oh, and almost forgetting. A coffee maker was on his desk as well. With every kind of coffee grind you could imagine, two jars full of sugar, and a cold glass of creamer. Starting the machine, cinnamon coffee would slowly pour into a large jug-like holder, with numbers marked up the side. It would make four cups, as Kutsu put three teaspoons of sugar into a cup, and a quarter ounce of creamer into the sugar. When the coffee finished, he poured it into the cup slowly, putting the coffee back into its place to stay heated and then swirling a spoon in the cup, stirring the sugar and creamer as the coffee turned a lighter shade of brown and was ready. Steam rose off of it as he sipped once, and then went to sit on his couch, looking out at Soul Society, enjoying his coffee after the boring mission. He slightly wondered where his lieutenant was, usually he'd have gotten a greeting by now.

Kutsu heard the light knocking at his door, and knew it would be his lieutenant coming to greet him. He must've been in his room, or in the training room while Kutsu came in. Still, he couldn't trap himself in elaborate thought and ignore his lieutenant. "You may come in, Sora." as he finished saying it, he knew the door was unlocked, so he lifted his coffee to his lips, taking a sip of the hot liquid. It was a unique taste, that of brown sugar, cinnamon, regular sugar, and such a light dose of creamy milk that made a great flavor as well as an energy giver. Kutsu knew that Sora hadn't been given much to do lately, so he must have been training.

Kutsu heard a pause from his lieutenant as he told him to enter, but soon the door was opened and Kutsu continued to look out into his window, sipping his coffee once as his lieutenant spoke and greeted him three times over before asking how he was doing. Not really showing enough interest to notice the hair being moved away, Kutsu caught a glimpse of the glowing tattoo out of his eye. He wanted to wait a moment to ask about it. "I'm doing well. Just returned from a meeting with an Arrancar. Strange creatures they are." He was still perplexed that all that arrancar wanted was his coffee. And it seemed more of a lie that he was just looking at the sky, since several glaciers were destroyed. Still, strange creatures.

Kutsu wondered why he'd gone through the effort of putting his sandals on to head to to kitchen, but it didn't matter to him. Remembering, there was also a kitchen in the barracks. Another door, right inbetween the restroom and the training room, which was a small hallway leading into a large kitchen. Deciding just to go anyway, he'd walk towards the opened door as his lieutenant said ladies first. Kutsu's lips twitched slightly. "Perhaps I should be a gentleman, and let the lady in first then." He'd then wait to see what he had to say, as he reversed the joke on him, waiting just a few steps from the door.

Kutsu took the last few steps forward, standing just near the door to the training room, only a moment away from stepping into the kitchen of the barracks. Slightly lost in his thoughts, he was still alert, ready at all times knowing that not even the barracks was a safe place, his very own home could be the place he died. Subsiding those thoughts, he took his first step forward, preparing to enter the kitchen.

Kutsu held his defensive stance. He wanted to see what the first attack would be; How quickly this spar would end from the very first move. Watching his lieutenant, he could see his sword in its sealed state was a shorter katana than his own in its sealed state, which would pose a problem for his lieutenant. But at the same time, if the captain entered Shikai, he'd be even more screwed with the extra blades. However.. he'd try to go easy at first. If his lieutenant couldn't win without going shikai, he might just use a kido technique. "..Ladies first." For once, Kutsu attempted the joke himself.

Sora chuckled at the joke, What a copycat, This would be an intense fight maybe not for the captain but certainly for Sora, He would have to stay on his feet and hope that his speed would keep him safe.....For a short while atleast, Sora nodded towards the captain and lifted his right hand, A portal of darkness seemed to form in the younger males palm, From the portal a black hand emerged, The hand itself seemed larger than a small house and was powerful enough to crush a small house, It had an extremely large range and could easily bind anyone caught within its snare,

Sora smiled as the hand shot forward, It seemed to remain connected to the portal meaning that using this technique meant Sora was rooted to the spot, The black hand dove through the air aiming to snare the captain in its deadly grip

Kutsu decided to give his leiutenant a true test with this kind of opening attack. Jumping to the side so that the attack would fly into his previous position, he held his sword at a slight angle, and took an offensive stance. "..Seitō-ka suru..(Vindicate)" As he said it, his katana's blade spread out several more feet, turning into a full Nodachi. Now, to surprise his lieutenant, he twitched his blade, and seven blades of tangible light formed out of thin air, slashing down on the hand, cutting into it and ripping it apart as the blades immediately vanished. Three more were created, as they hovered slowly around Kutsu. "Impress me Sora.. I look forward to the result of this battle." He wanted to see if his lieutenant could surpass his captains shikai.

Sora felt something slam into him, He was frozen binded, but the younger lieutenant had'nt finished yet, The darkness within him was stirring, He couldnt help but smile as he watched the swords of light coming directly toward's him, All he had to do was wait a little longer, They were close, close enough he thought, He could save himself and destroy the binds that held him and ontop of that he could attack his captain, It was time,

Releasing the blast of power that stirred in his body to create a sphere that would protect him, It erupted from every part of his body, The charge up was all it needed and once released it would cause the swords to blast away from the Shinigami, Not only that but the binds that held him would be taken by the darkness allowing Sora to land perfectly on the ground, Smiling Sora looked at his captain,

"Haite Ni Yami (Enter Into Darkness)"

The sword within Sora's hand would blast into darkness and seem to split in two, The two black blades would then combine with Sora's hands forming a glove like utensile on each hand with claw's rising up,

"Now lets get serious"

Kutsu was pleased with his lieutenant. He didn't think he would be able to get out of that situation. Still though, he'd had the blades disappear before they could be affected by the dark energy, and the light rod prison has been destroyed. Now his lieutenant had activated his shikai, the two seemingly demonic claws. The comment about getting serious had been made. Kutsu almost smiled, the twitch of his lips starting, and then stopping as to keep composure and calmness. "..Very well." Almost immediately, blades began forming and swinging all around Sora spontaneously. It started, two swinging at his front and disappearing, three being made behind next, one swinging horizontally at his back, one vertically at his head, and one diagonally at his neck and spinal cord. Two more appeared, slashing at his thigh and waist, and then the combo ended with a final one appearing and flying inward towards his stomach. All of these.. would be fatal injuries. Four blades danced around Kutsu, as he waited to see his lieutenant block it all.
