A Cautious Duel (Spar/open)

[Clyde]

Clyde went to release his own attack as well, but with the power he had remaining it would barely hold up against Drake's. The two attacks collided before the Vizard's finally broke through and struck at the human. He fell to his knee's soon afterward, looking at the Vizard not with caution or anger but respect. He was different from the ones that Ryo had told him about, it allowed the young man to feel a bit more at ease to know there was at least one among his enemies with honor.

This had become more than a spar, it was a test for both of them. A test of will, determination, and perhaps even their own beliefs but they passed. The human held his gaze for a few moments before finally collapsing completely, defeated.

[Zakura Kessin]

Their battle had ended and Zakura had seen enough. With a flick of his nearly finished cigarette, he shunpo'ed down between the unconscience Clyde and Drake, standing over the human's body as rain poured down from the sky. "He is a tough one, this boy is." He spoke aloud. He then knelt down and placed his right hand on the boy's back. "Binding spell 8. Kousei." With the activation, a bit of Kessin's reitsu flowed into Clyde's wounds which spurred the humans own energy into healing his wounds at an accelerated rate, a regen. It wasn't strong but it would be enough till he got back to the manga shop for treatment.

Kessin stood and turned to face Drake who was still in his bankai. "You fully released on a human...how would your peers view you I wonder...rather amusing I must say." A chuckle escaped his mouth. "You are a visard and its the first time I've seen you so you must be under Kuro's employ...tell me, besides your boss and his master Jin, is this the power of Viz Co?" He scoffed a bit as he started walking towards Drake, his hand still holding an active Kousei which he intended to use on the other visard.

"Who is Viz.Co? Jin and Kuro are names I'm unfamiliar with. Guess I'm a free lance Visard, so if you're looking for a gauge of their strength, then I'm not the proper opponent."

Drake remained his Bankai state, and expected to continue his battle. He prepared himself for more questions and also for an attack. The storm picked back up after seemingly calm down after defeating Clyde.

[Zakura Kessin]

"Oh? Well, thats a shame." With a quick shunpo, he was directly behind Drake however he was intentionally making it obvious where he was going. "Dont move now...you seem itching for another fight and if you want to have a glimmer of hope, you'd do well to accept this healing." He grabbed Drake by his right shoulder and allowed the healing kido to work on the Visard. His grip though had great strength behind it, firmly holding Drake where he was with little effort. This wasnt offensive...it was merely to hint at what the man healing him could possibly do.

"Are you sure you dont know those names?" He put much emphasis on the word sure. He didnt really believe that a visard that goes bankai a couple times doesn't run into any of the other visards in the town...it wasnt that big a place to hide.
(Shorty as well.)

[drakeb]

After being healed by the Visard he disappeared and appeared right beside Zakura and placed his sword directly onto his neck. He was faster than him in his Bankai. "Like I said, I've never met any of them before, and the only other Visard I've met is a guy named Azul. Guess I'm not worth looking for."

He took his blade off the man's neck and walked backwards, giving him some room. He stood in his fighting stance and awaited for the man to do the same.

"We can conversate later, if you healed me to fight then lets begin, or else I can leave and continue training."

A smile flashed on Kessin's face As he slowly drew his zanpakuto from within his overcoat with his right hand. "You are eager to begin..."

Kessin released a portion of his power which quickly surpassed his opponent. The force of the release sent the torrents of rain flying every which way, creating a sort of bubble of dry air that spread (OOC: Think of the final battle between Neo and Agent Smith in the last Matrix movie.) The pressure of Kessin's reitsu began to bare down upon Drake similar to what the younger visard did to Clyde.

A sinister smile spread across Kessin's face as he stared down his opponent. "...you have two choices right now. You may leave or you can fight. If you do decide to stay and fight, then take comfort in the fact that I shall not kill you...however there is one rule...do not push me into bankai...do so and you will die. Now...decide."

[drakeb]

Drake was sweating now from the increase in spiritual pressure, but was still standing amazingly. Clyde was down, and this man was stronger than him even in his Bankai. He wouldn't be able to use his mask either, and the only possible way to even attack the man would be to use his secret attack. The fatigue was wearing on him. He decided to keep his attack secret and decided to reschedule the fight.

"Even with me being fully healed, some of the wounds I have gathered haven't fully recovered yet. If you want to keep this spar going. Meet me in 3 days on the Donshoku Bridge. As soon as the sun sets. I shall be waiting."

Drake awaited his response before leaving the battlefield, but prepared himself just in case the man was impatient.

[Zakura Kessin]

Kessin laughed a bit before giving his response. "But of course...prepare if you must but remember...the rules will still stand. If you do not feel up to the challenge, do not show up." His face was now stern, staring and cold. His gaze pierced Drake...he knew the young visard didn't know at all what he would be getting himself into but he will...he will soon.

Turning abruptly around, Kessin pulled back his power to his original relaxed state before he walked to the still unconscience Clyde and looked down upon him. "Its getting past your curfew little one. Let's get you home." He lit another cigarette before slinging Clyde over his shoulder and sheathing his zanpakuto. He turned to Drake again. "It is unfair for me to know your name but you to not know mine...I am Kessin." With that, Kessin and Clyde disappeared, shunpo'ing right when a gust of wind blew by. Thus was a sort of signature for him.
