[quote=Phobos] A clapping noise could be heard, echoing throughout the forest. "Congratulations, you two actually managed to defeat the guardian" An ominous being, letting off no presence whatsoever was sitting on a rock, watching the entire time. It vanished, appearing near the pit with little effort. Its speed was too great for the two to follow with their eyes. He looked down the pit and sighed "What a failure, I would of expected it to atleast kill one of you." He said, with an emotionless expression and tone. He turned towards the two, his eyes gazing into Aokiji's. Then Kaizo's. "What are your names" He demanded of the two. He wasn't a person to be smart with, he never had time for games. [/quote] Kaizo waited for an answer from Aokiji then he heard clapping as a voice followed shortly after prompting him to look in the direction of the voice, Kaizo tried not to let his eyes widen, not even a little but he was shocked...truly shocked [i]How long has he been there? Why can I not feel anything from him!? this has got to be the real one...the one the Captain warned us about...this is going to be difficult...I don't think we can simply stall him with small talk and a fight with a guy who you can't even sense is just ridiculous![/i] Kaizo then noticed the being look at him which made his eyes narrow slightly as he grit his teeth very slightly [i] Should I really give him my name? I know some people like to be formal about a fight and so they ask the names of their opponent so that when they are dying they can call them by their name...I guess I don't have much choice[/i] Kaizo clenched his hands into fists, he almost dared not to reach for his Zanpakuto as that could be the last thing he ever did before he died "Kaizo..." He dared not to ask or say anything else right now...he choose to let Aokiji say his own name or try something different..plus...it stalled this just a tiny bit longer...and time was the only thing they could use right now...
