[u]Fumio Hari Kouineji[/u]

Fumio listened but made sure to stay more focused on Chie's actions than her voice. No doubt she blocked, he knew she would so he wasn't disheartened at all. His smirk etched deeper into his face at her pun as her Zanpakuto caught fire. As she pushed him back, he forced himself back. Placing his left hand at the top end of his Zanpakuto, he pushed forward and purposely pushed his blade onto hers. [b]"Well, looks like we have a little fire-starter here~ Interesting"[/b] Fumio made a note of her Zanpakuto's ability to catch fire in the back of his mind. [b]"I wonder what else your Zanpakuto can do"[/b] Using the force of him pushing his blade against Chie's, Fumio bounced backwards and waved his blade around to cool it down with a smug smirk. [b]"Well, I wouldn't want my blade to melt so I think it's time I release mine aswell. Kesshō no sōsei ~ Gaishō"[/b] Bringing his blade up, he uttered the release command and watched closely as the blade grew into one of pure black and white crystal and the hilt covered his right hand.
