"With all due respect, Captain, if there's an emergency it's more important that we protect the Soul Society than to have a sparring match!" Yoshimitsu rebutted. "Taiki, you would have been sure to kick my ass if we kept going, there's no question. I talk a big game but the skill and power differential is obviously stacked in your favor," the shinigami admitted. "And right now, I'd rather die saving lives than end up in the hospital and not be able to protect those who need helping!" he shouted. "...If it would be alright with you, that is, Captain."

[u]Taiki Shihoin[/u]
Taiki didn't expect to hear the captains decision but after being around him for a for this short time he already concluded that it wasn't and out-of-character thing for him. [i]He'd rather sit here and watch us...well, I can hardly call it a fight. He's right that there's plenty of other captains and shinigami to handle it but...I don't think I'll ever understand him.[/i] Taiki decided to keep going. If he wanted to see what Taiki could do he was going to show him. Taiki took his stance turning towards Yoshimitsu. He clenched and unclenched his hand, feeling the electrical current no longer affecting him. "Stay focused Yoshimitsu. The faster we demonstrate our abilities the faster we can hit the frontlines." Taiki dashed around towards Yoshimitsu's right side, closing the distance very quickly. Getting within range Taiki motioned as if he was going to throw a punch and suddenly shunpoed at the last second. He reappeared behind Yoshimitsu's left shoulder among a chop at the back of his neck. If it made contact he'd be paralysed by the strike to the nerve.

[u]Hasayo Shiroga[/u]
Hasayo's sword clashed with black steel. "Kuh..." He leaped back, shunpoing as soon as his feet touched the ground and appearing in the air above his sparring partner. He spun his body into a downward slash. The man blocked it easily and pushed Hasayo back. Hasayo landed on his feet and wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Whew...thanks for the workout." The man nodded with a smile. "My pleasure. You've improved. Keep up the hard work and you'll find the answers your looking for." Hasayo was about to thank him again when the alarm sounded. "Go and test the fruits of your labor on some real enemies. Just don't get yourself killed, got it?" Hasayo nodded with smile. "Don't worry..." He sheathed his zanpaktou at his side. "I get stronger with each swing~"He headed out of the Squad 13 barracks and towards the sources of reiatsu.

Hasayo hopped a wall and made a beeline for a group of hollows. He could see them now so he placed his hand on the hilt of his sword and sped up, dashing straight toward them. He stopped when he saw a whole open in the middle of the horde and a girl using an impaled hollow to knock around his buddies. "Okay...she's having way too much fun." He smirked. "She's gonna have to share~" Hasayo shunpoed and appeared above the horde with his sword unsheathed and dropped down driving the blade through a hollows head. The hollow disintegrated as it fell back and Hasayo withdrew from its head swinging his sword back in time to knock away another's claws from behind with a stunning strike. Hasayo spun around and cut Tue hollow in two. He swung his sword down to his side with s calming breath. "Mind if I borrow some of these guys~?" He asked with a chuckle.

[u]Daishin Yu Xang[/u]
Daishin watched as his crimson haired squad member ran off. "Hmhm~ That boy's trust on his sword is going to take him far. Now..." Daishin walked out of the training room, the 13 on the back of his custom haori visible for a second before the man shunpoed. Just outside the barracks a squad member tripped as everyone was trying to mobilize. A hollow appeared over him and lunged in to devour the poor shinigami. He closed his and waited for the horrible death only to open his eyes to the sight of the Squad 13 captain and his tonfa keeping the wedged in the hollow mouth. "Sorry, but my subordinates aren't on the menu." The hollowed howled awkwardly. "I'll take that as your new order. Enjoy your meal." A stream of blue lightning shot up through the hollows head. The monster faded and Daishin looked at his tonfa with a frown. "And I just waxed these." He shook the tonfa trying to get the remnant saliva off. "Th-thanks Captain..." Daishin smiled fondly at the squad member.
