[center][h3][b][color=9e0b0f]Agni Ryuunosuke[/color][/b][/h3][/center] [hr] Agni didn't have a reply to Harime. In part, he felt she was an enemy, both to him and to the Seireiti. Anyone who would be that willing to strike down an ally was no longer one. He had no banter for that. The main reason though was he was busy chanting. He admitted he didn't know much about Harime, but he doubted she was wasting time. He supposed she was, like him, preparing an attack. This battle, and he now knew it was that, would be determined by whose strike landed. So he struck. Unsheathing his blade in an Iai fashion, he screamed the name of a kido. [b][color=9e0b0f]"#33, Sokatsui!"[/color][/b] A wide arc of pale fire flew out the blade at Harime. Despite it's wide arc, it wasn't very concentrated. It was strong, Agni was competent in kido, but it wasn't a full strength spell. Deflecting it, or dodging to the side would be fairly easy. It was not the kido he had been chanting. Silently, he unleashed the one he had been chanting. Behind the flame, his hand on his sheathe formed a rod within the sheathe, and threw forward. The rod multiplied by the dozens. [i]#62, Hyapporankan[/i] The rods flew forward in an expanding angle. The weaker kido obscured the larger one, making it a surprise right behind should she dodge or attempt to deflect. Harime was right about one thing, Agni was fond of kido. His zanpaktu was powerful, too strong for him to exercise much control on it. Kido gave him that control. He had played with fire too many times.
