Shu had to blink again as Hayashi's blade lengthened and changed. His mind still not wrapping completely around the illusions Hayashi was able to create. However he would not let him get close enough for a true attack. Keeping his distance Shu kept up his attack from a distance frustrating Hayashi's small attempts to counter him. Shu laughed a chuckle more than anything he was having a great time.
<<Oh squad 7 is definitely trained for combat, but unlike squad 11 or 5 we do not focus on one type of combat rather we use them all to demoralize and strike fear into our opponents>>
Shu's brief explanation of squad seven was punctuated by another strike from his zanpakuto. However this time he did a double spin flipping it low so the blade hit the ground then sprang up trying to ensnare Hayashi's legs. While this distracted him Shu moved in close shunpoing so as to take advantage of his position. Coming from the left Shu came in and went for a tremendous head kick.

At first, the idea of having your legs snared by a chain would sound like a bad idea, but right now Hitoshii was silently praising his luck at finding himself in such a predicament. As the chain wrapped around his leg it caused him to fall and due to his fall his head would not be in the location his opponent's foot was aiming for.
Hitoshii knew he had to act fast, and in the precarious position he was in, there was only play left to him. "Hado Number 11, Tsuzuri Raiden!" Just as he was hitting the ground an electric current shot its way up the chain of Shu's Zanpakuto.

Shu cursed silently as his leg soared over Hayashi's head as Hayashi fell to the ground. He'd let himself be snared...Was he crazy? Shu had not intended for that move to work and as he caught his balance his mind raced at his luck...or was it unluck. His body tensed as he went to swing his zanpakuto now attached to Hayashi's legs. But, as he did so Hayashi unleashed hado 11.
The shock and pain from his hado was immense Shu's body writhes as he moved around. He did not however loosen the chains now wrapped around Hayashi's legs. Shu moved through the pain flipping the chain once so that the blade sliced Hayashi's leg. It was time for Hayashi to feel the power of his zanpakuto. The cut was a moderate one not too deep and at first it hadnt seemed to bad. Then about 3 seconds later all of the air was pushed out of Hayashi's body through that single wound. Blood sprayed the pain was sharp and immediate.
Shu grinned at Hayashi.
<<How do ya like me now?>> Shu simply pulled the chain tight and went to throw Hayashi into the falling petals and into one of those trees.
<<Lets see how real these trees are why dont we>>

Hitoshii winced at the cut and then gasped as the air rushed out of him, trying to catch his breath just in time for his opponent to hurl him through one of the illusionary trees. His body passed through the non-existent tree.
"Ha-Hado Number 11, Tsuzuri Raiden!" Once more a current of electricity traveled up the chain connecting the two men, Hitoshii knew this battle would be over soon, that ability of Shu's Zanpakuto had taken a lot out of him and Hitoshii was not a man known for having large amounts of stamina, he had to put his hopes on this kido putting his opponent in a similar situation.

Shu looked in amazement as Hayashi went right through the tree. What was going on? How much was real and what was fake? Shu simply smiled, this man and his zanpakuto were exquisite and powerful. As Shu marveled at this he heard Hayashi making a hado 11 again. His body not ready for another shock he quickly counter clockwise flipped his zanpakuto so that it returned to his hand, the small amount of reiatsu already attacked hit Shu putting him to his knees. Hayashi was about as good at hado as himself, maybe better. Shu writhed on the ground his body convulsing as the second shock coursed through his body.
Once his body stopped Shu looked up his zanpakuto laying a little loose on the ground he quickly picked it up and looked around for Hayashi, wondering what he'd done now.

Hitoshii stood, not entirely stable after his exciting 'trip'. Shu's Zanpakuto was no longer connected to his legs, but by the sound of things some of his kido had reached its target. Breathing heavily, Hitoshii wiped his brow as he began to speak again, his voice serious for the first time that battle, but still coming from multiple directions.
"Your abilities are impressive, your position as your division's 3rd seat is well deserved. Now I believe we've rehearsed adequately for today, what's say we vacate this stage and have a drink?"

Shu looked up his vision doubling for a second. The blossoms were blowing in magnificent circuits around him. His breath caught at the beauty of the illusion, for he knew know how it worked and respected it for what it was. Shu stood up slowly his breath coming with a small amount of labor. Shu wiped the slick of sweat off of his head, and sheathed his zanpakuto into his lower back. Shu smiled politely at Hayashi's offer, and looked around at the beautiful illusion one last time.
<<I would love a drink but I think first you would need to seal your zanpakuto so I can get my barings.>>
Shu's laugh is throaty and good hearted as he walks towards Hayashi's last known location, he's pretty sure that he will find them there now, in a similar situation to himself.

Hitoshii picked himself up from the heap he had landed in and sealed his zanpakuto, the mask on his face fading along with the illusion surrounding them. Hitoshii stood shakily a few yards from his opponent, finally getting a good look at the man and nodded in his direction.
"I guess i'm so used to my own illusions I forget they really aren't there sometimes... I remember what it was like experiencing it the first time, I imagine you're feeling quite disoriented right now."
He hunched down and removed his standard Shinigami sandals, replacing them with a pair of wooden geta from within his robe; as he waited for Shu to recover his mind lighted on another topic.
"You really were placed in the right division, the 7th division's symbol, the Iris, stands for courage, something you have in spades from what I have just witnessed. My own division's symbol is the Chrysanthemum, Truth, which is ironic given my Zanpakuto's abilities."

<< I feel that you are in the right division, your Zanpakuto reflects your inner spirit your showmanship nad as such helps you perform. You are in the same situation as your opponent, similar disadvantages. You however perservere through those actions making Truth a fitting symbol for yourself.>>
Shu smiled and nodded at Hayashi shaking his hand quickly and firmly then orients himself and moves towards the gates ready for that drink.
