~Far away in a hidden location~
Juki walked down the halls of his hideout, his feet tapping the floor with each step, his cane making a clacking sound everytime it touched the floor then suddenly he stopped and slid his cane up his right hand and used the top to tap a door a few times "Kaizo. It's time to wake up..." Kaizo heard the tap on the door then quickly sat up, the covers falling down his body, he looked to the door then spoke "Give me a minute" Juki blinked a little then he raised his right hand and tapped the air with his index finger forming a small pocket watch seemingly out of nowhere as he began timing him. Juki waited patiently for Kaizo and once a minute hit he crushed the pocket watch then spoke "Times up..." Kaizo was in the middle of getting his uniform on when he looked to his door which suddenly blew down which caused him to jump "Ahhh! W-What the hell!? I didn't mean a minute in a literal sense!" Juki stood in the doorway looking at a half naked Kaizo when he looked up to the roof and tapped his chin with his cane "So...you lied to me? thats a mean thing to do Kaizo" Kaizo blinked then frowned "Juki! I'm half naked here! let me get dressed!" Kaizo had barely gotten his clothes on and was using the top half of his uniform to cover his private area "Juki get out!!! give me 3 minutes okay!?" Juki looked at Kaizo then nodded "Very well..." Juki stepped out into the hall then began thinking to himself and wandering if this was just another lie? it was confusing...could he see the future to? how did he know he'd be dressed in 3 minutes? within the time Juki was thinking to himself Kaizo managed to get dressed, Kaizo stepped out into the hall then brushed down his uniform "There...done" Juki then turned slowly to Kaizo, his eyes glowing red "You lied again Kaizo...you took 2 minutes and 56 seconds...that wasn't 3 minutes at all!" Kaizo blinked then frowned and spoke "I meant 3 minutes roughly you creepy man! Round it up! 56 seconds is closer to a minute than half a minute meaning I didn't lie at all! Sheesh...thought we were here to train me to get stronger not learn how to tell the time..." Juki's eyes reverted back to their normal red as he listened to Kaizo, he then squinted at him and spoke "That just saved you...be grateful..." Juki then turned and began walking down the hall with Kaizo following behind him
After a few minutes walk the two arrived within a large room, it looked like the inside of a large cave...maybe it was...it was hard to tell what was what with this guy then suddenly Juki stopped in the middle of the room as Kaizo did the same, Juki then turned to Kaizo and spoke "Right let us clear a few things up here. This training will not be easy, nor done quickly. You cannot enter your inner world at all as that would be like giving the inner hollow what it wants which of course is your body...however I need to train you, yet...it will not be me doing the training...instead your Zanpakuto spirit will train you. The idea here is that not only will you gain more skills and power because of this but you will also gain a bond with your Zanpakuto which you will notice greatly in battle...once your bond is strong enough and your Zanpakuto feels you are worthy it may grant you the chance to learn it's greatest form. I'm sure you are familiar with the term Bankai correct?" Kaizo nodded as he continued to listen "good...this speeds things up. Gaining Bankai here will make a great difference as doing it in your inner world is far to dangerous...once you have gained Bankai defeating your inner hollow may or may not be easier. There is a chance it has fused itself to your soul and in doing so has fused itself to your Zanpakuto spirit...meaning when you learn Bankai so does it...however you will have one advantage, the bond with your Zanpakuto...regardless of whatever happens that is something it cannot take from you, that could very well be the deciding factor in whether or not you gain control of it or get taken control of....in which case, I will be forced to kill you...this is a fight for your soul, for your innocence, for everything you stand for...everything you have worked for." Kaizo listened to Juki speak then he looked down to his right hand, he held it up about stomach height, his palm facing the roof as he then clenched it tightly into a fist and looked up at Juki "I understand...I cannot lose...I will not lose..."
Juki nodded lightly and closed his eyes then he opened them as his left hand shot into Kaizo's chest seemingly piercing it, a green glow around his hand and arm as he pulled Kaizo's Zanpakuto spirit out of his inner world and into the real world. Juki looked back at Kaizo's Zanpakuto spirit then spoke "I'm sure you heard everything..." Kyotetsu looked at Juki then spoke "Yeah...I got it all." Juki nodded then spoke once again "Excellent...well then...begin..." Juki then vanished and re-appeared ontop of a large rock. "You wont get anything from me easy Kaizo...I will not show you any mercy, if I can get even remotely close to killing you here then you have no chance against that thing..." Kaizo nodded and looked Kyotetsu in the eyes "I understand...Let's start this" Kyotetsu nodded himself then spoke "Let us do this the old way..." Kaizo smiled a little then spoke again "I wouldn't want it any other way..." the two walked slowly to one another then once they got right up to eachother they cracked their foreheads against one another then they pulled back as they sent fists flying at eachother, both dodging the oncoming attacks of eachother well then Kyotetsu's eyes glowed quickly as he found an opening and got his body down low, he then twisted his body a little as he threw his right fist into Kaizo's gut, he then straightened up as Kaizo bent over from being hit in the gut, Kyotetsu leaned his body back a little then threw his left fist into the right side of Kaizo's head sending him flying into a nearby boulder.
Kyotetsu then cracked his neck then his knuckles as he watched rubble fall on top of Kaizo. Kaizo stood up from the rubble and threw a few of the pieces of boulder off him, he then shunpoed infront of Kyotetsu, his right fist flying towards Kyotetsu's face however Kyotetsu had already dodged it, he tilted his head to avoid the punch then stepped closer to Kaizo, his head away from Kaizo's right arm with his shoulder under it as he threw a powerful right punch into Kaizo's gut that sent him flying once more and effectively skidding across the floor "I feel no killing intent from you...how can you defeat me if you aren't willing to kill me?" Kaizo slowly stood to his feet as he used his right forearm to wipe the blood from his mouth and chin "I don't want to kill you..." Kyotetsu then appeared infront of Kaizo and slammed his right palm into his throat then threw him into the ground and pinned him there "Then you will not win! You have to want to kill me! if you want to win you have to be willing to kill! it doesn't matter who it is!" Kaizo's hands gripped around Kyotetsu's wrist as he was choked, trying to pry it from his throat
Juki watched the two fight and instantly he understood the nature of Kaizo's Zanpakuto, perhaps this is why he could feel so much hate and rage from it towards Kaizo? Was he neglecting his Zanpakuto's true nature...it seemed as if the nature of Kaizo's Zanpakuto is to win at all costs and to kill...a truly difficult Zanpakuto to negotiate with. Kyotetsu continued to choke Kaizo, his grip tightening around Kaizo's throat "Are you not taking this seriously!? Win dammit! you have to win no matter what it takes!! fight for what your life for fucks sake!!! FIGHT!! If you don't fight back everything you love will die! this hollow will consume your soul and destroy us both! your dreams will be crushed, your hard work will be all for nothing...the bonds you made...will you let them end? aren't you fighting for someone Kaizo? if you allow me or this hollow to kill you then how can you protect them!?" Kaizo's eyes suddenly widened as he thought about everything, with the dark of his mind he could see Rio, his dreams of becoming Captain, his revenge on his father...all of it...fading away I can't lose....I wont lose...I will not die here! I have to protect Rio! I have to fight for my chance to become Captain...I have to kill my father....I must... Kaizo's eyes then slowly began to close and once they had gotten close to fully closing they shot open, Kaizo's grip on Kyotetsu's wrist increasing as he forced his hand off his throat, he then slammed his right foot into Kyotetsu's gut and sent him flying back.
Kaizo clutched his chest as he began coughing then he stood slowly to his feet, his spiritual energy forming a smokey aura around him, his head hung low, then he raised it slowly, his eyes glowing bright yellow as he shunpoed and appeared infront of Kyotetsu who had just got to his feet, Kyotetsu went to turn his head to look at Kaizo only to have Kaizo's right fist slam into the left side of his face and send his body slamming into the floor, his head hitting it and bouncing off it. Kyotetsu's eyes the widened as he saw Kaizo's right foot come down towards his head, this caused Kyotetsu's to roll out of the way then get to his feet and jump back a bit. When Kaizo's foot slammed into the floor it formed a small crater and kicked up a great amount of dust, Kaizo then came shooting out of the dust and then began trading punches with Kyotetsu both getting a hit in here and there. "Heheh this is more like it!!" Kaizo's fist slammed into the left side of Kyotetsu's face causing him to grin and push back on it as his right fist did the same to Kaizo, only to have him do the same yet he carried no grin which made Kyotetsu's eyes widen a little then he felt Kaizo slam his left foot into his right side which sent him flying into the ground causing him to roll and flip across it before getting to his feet and sliding back, Kaizo then appeared infront of Kyotetsu in the air and then slammed his right foot into Kyotetsu's face sending him flying once again yet Kyotetsu just flipped through the air and landed on a boulder then pushed himself off it as he flew towards Kaizo, the two continuing to fight on, neither giving an inch
Juki watched the two fight then nodded "seems they are doing well...yet there is much more of this to come, a great deal more" Juki let out a sigh then twirled his cane a little as he continued to watch them, it wasn't the first time he had done this...and it wasn't a fast process...
