Forging The Fang

Blow! The Triple Windmill Unveiled!
Towering over the young individual, standing roughly six feet tall, the Raijū looked upon Kōsa with an indifferent expression. "Are you sure you want to bear your fangs at me, you obnoxious little cub?" Unsheathing his Zanpakutō, adjusting his posture so as to face the Sōzōshin, the Lone Wolf huffed. The distance between him and Kōsa ranged approximately forty meters. If Kōsa were to take the initiative, charging head first within Kodokuna's direction, the latter could respond almost immediately — especially now that he was in a pre-positioned stance. The Raijū, however, was betting on Kōsa's hesitation instead of his sense of initiative. If he took longer to respond than desired, Kodokuna would take to instantly assaulting him.

Narrowing his eyes, having fully understood the extent of Kodokuna's taunt, Kōsa simply stood motionless — his body entering a stagnant state. Was there any point to facing off against Gōkana's ex-comrade? To be completely honest with himself, the adolescent couldn't find any justifiable reason to engage the former lieutenant. Though, deep within the back of his mind, there was a set degree of unease. Why was Kodokuna here? What had brought him to this mountain? As Kōsa began to contemplate these thoughts, pondering on them within his spare time, he came to a sudden realization — Kodokuna was an obvious affiliate of Bermuda Kurosawa.

"Bear my fangs at you? Y'know what? That sounds like a good idea, wolf boy. Let's see how a new born tiger stands up against an old wolf!" Extending his arms out from his person, assuming his passive aggressive stance, Kōsa prompted Kodokuna to approach him.

Leaning forward, peering over the edge of the mountain's outstretched slab of earth, Kodokuna sighed. Beneath him, standing nearly as tall as he, were pillars of sediment he assume were more than capable of piercing flesh. "You're a stubborn bastard, Kamikaze. If you think you can fight me on this terrain, then so be it!" Releasing an electric discharge, roughly twice the size of his own person, the Raijū plunged into the forest of spikes. However, as he dashed and ducked behind the earth's sharpened appendages, he quickly rendered a majority of the sedimentary pillars useless — dwarfing them to mere stubs without so much as breaking a sweat.

"Hadō (#57) Daichi Tenyō." Raising his fingers into the air, forcing the sharpened section of the separated slabs to levitate, he directed a portion of the appendages in Kōsa's direction. "It's obvious that an amateur Martial Artist's biggest weakness is ranged attacks." Flicking his wrist downward, projecting the spikes toward the Sōzōshin with incredible speed, Kodokuna executed the basic-level Hadō nigh instantaneously. However, upon doing so, he quickly took to approaching Kōsa from behind — converting his person into electricity so as to speedily circle the adolescent's body. In the instant that the Raijū would materialize as a humanoid, he'd execute a powerful vertical slash.

"You're right, wolf-dono. An amateur would have trouble against something like this..." Thrusting out his hand, extending it further than before, Kōsa met one of the approaching spikes head on. However, instead of being pierced, he completely halted the projectile. Following its inevitable stop, he swiped his hand swiftly to the left — pushing the spike away from his person. As the other sedimentary projectiles approached, he dealt with them in a similar manner. Though, instead of halting all of them, he chose to quickly swipe them away; nothing within arm's length coming close to his person.

"I'm not an amateur though..." Rotating on his right leg, gyrating his person in a counter-clockwise fashion, Kōsa took to quickly swing his subservient leg outwards behind him. Performing a round house, executed solely based off of circular motion, he hooked the back of Kodokuna's Zanpakutō — pulling it down to the ground as his person rotated to face the Raijū. "You shouldn't underestimate me!" The adolescent roared, swiping his right leg toward the top of Kodokuna's head.

Raising up his dominant hand, releasing the grasp he had upon his Zanpakutō, Kodokuna pushed his palm into Kōsa's abdomen. Rushing forward, whilst his hand remained submerged within the adolescent's gut, the Raijū forced the individual back — shortening the range of his kick. "No...you're still an amateur..." Curling the fingers of his subservient hand around the handle of Sesshōmaru, pulling the Zanpakutō free from the ground, the Lone Wolf continued to charge forward. However, his dominant hand took to grasping hold of the teen's shirt. Pulling on said shirt, whilst he approached, he drug Kōsa's body back toward him. Thrusting his left arm outward, whilst Sesshōmaru remained cocked, the Raijū performed a thrust to the Martial Artist's chest.

Kōsa, feeling his sense of balance shifting, further extended his already outstretched leg. "Rakkashū ( 落下鷲らっかしゅう "Falling Eagle")." Rotating his person, all the while being pulled in by Kodokuna, the adolescent brought his outstretched leg high into the sky. However, it made a quick descent down toward Kodokuna's face as soon as it approached its apex — similar to an Eagle dive-bombing one of its prey. Now, whether it made immediate contact with the Raijū wasn't important. The rotation, having been within the direction of Kōsa's dominant side, would cause him to roll against the back of Kodokuna's outstretched Zanpakutō.

Though, as soon as the eagle finished its descent, Kōsa's foot would come in contact with the ground. At this instant, having forcefully shaken free of Kodokuna's grasp, the adolescent would carry through with the momentum of his kick — elongating the motion so as to generate yet another kick. This kick, however, was rather special. Utilizing both momentum and circular motion, the kick forced Kōsa to approach the side of Kodokuna's face with the back of his heel. Following said motion, Kōsa's body would tuck in and then quickly approach the opposite side of Kodokuna's face — an intense rotation followed by a reverse rotation. The blunt trauma issued by both kicks, if they were to land, aimed to disrupt the Raijū's sense of direction and balance. Following the instant in which his two most valuable motor skills would fail, Kōsa's body would make a final rotation — approaching the back of Kodokuna's head with an intense kick.
