[quote=Vongola_Hasayo] Taiki was surprised. Yoshimitsu hadn't shown any hint of this kind of skill yet. He was more and more confused by this guy with every move. Was he fool or is that just an act? Either way it was annoying. Taiki swung up with his other hand blocking Yoshimitsu's sword and locking the two of them in a stand off. "Trying to change his mind would take longer than just getting this over with. If you concentrated you'd sense that the enemies are focusing on the seireitei and haven't targeted any innocents. And don't underestimate our other comrades. Most of them can handle this level of hollow. If things were really bad I'm sure the captain would do what he had to..." Taiki heard the captain give his thoughts on the situation. "There. Now that you've got his "final word" will you get a hold of yourself?" Taiki's blocking ARM was starting to struggle due to his earlier encounter with the captain so he decided to try and separate from Yoshimitsu. He pushed off the ground and raised a swift knee in between them aiming at Yoshimitsu's chin. [/quote] Yoshimitsu quickly jarred his head backwards, but couldn't get enough distance to avoid the strike. His opponent's knee connected with the edge of his previously wounded chin, sending him flying into the air a few feet, crashing down in front of the attacker. [i]Shit-[/i] His mind tried to put words together, but he shock of the impact was too great and he lay dazed for a moment before coming to. A moment later, however, he jumped to his feet. "Nice Shot! You got me right in a vulnerable spot, good aim!" he called to his opponent, wiping blood from the bottom of his face. "Alright, I really needed that to get my blood rushing!" he said, quickly changing back to a fighting stance. "C'mon, let's go!" the shinigami said, gently bouncing on the balls of his feet, passing his sword between hands quickly. His energy was completely different from the start of the duel; he seemed more alive. "Come at me again, let's do this!" he said, resting his sword in his right hand, and beckoning his opponent forward with his left.
