[color=0072bc]"I'm not scared. I'm just saying... attracting unwanted attention is probably a bad idea... But you do have a point..."[/color] He said, grinned. It is true. His clan was one of warriors. Smart ones, brutish ones, shy ones, brave ones. All the same. They were all held to a very high standard. Regardless of their craft, they became masters of. It is still true with Kyoichi. Sure, he is the freshest of fresh when it comes to new recruits to the Gotei Thirteen. But, having trained with his family, he can at the very least use his unreleased sword to some moderate proficiency. 

Then there is the other point of the 'Tainted Blood'... The condition that has affected his family for generations. He was raised with special care, for it has been told that he will be one that carries the trait. He has been taught to avoid conflict, to minimize bloodshed. However, his caution was thrown aside when Ike called him out as if he was scared to fight off a few measly hollows...

Drawing his sword, he let his spiritual energy flow freely for the first time in what seems to be forever. Ripples of bluish energy with orange outlines can be seen around him. The color of his eyes seems to have changed along with his expressions. Gone was the genuine smile, being replaced by a stern, serious look. [color=0072bc]"Ike, you're such a brute, smashing in there like that. If one is to kill, one should kill with grace..."[/color] He said, as he dashed towards another charging hollow, drawn in by the influx of spiritual energy. With his sword held to his right side, Kyoichi executed a clean cut to the neck of the hollow, hurting it. However, he did not cut all the way through, so the hollow reared it's head with a screech. [color=0072bc]"So noisy. You clumsy beast..."[/color] Kyoichi said as he dashed towards the front legs of the beast, cutting through it this time. [color=0072bc]"Learn to bow your head..."[/color] He said, his voice as cold as the steel he held. Without its front legs, the hollow crumbled. Seizing the opportunity, Kyoichi dashed once more and stood on top of the hollow's head. Without another word, he drove his sword through the mask of the beast, causing it to scatter as ash.
