~~**Lupus, Adam the cloaked reiki did not allow his presence to be fully masked, as it was not his goal. In fact, his presence was hidden very well, and only those adept in reiki could sense him. As the dark gray figure appeared, he allowed a pulsation of his reiki to surge through the surrounding area. Stepping out of the void, his movements were calm, as he stood clad in the normal Pongo attire. "Shinigami, Captain, it appears," he spoke calmly towards the Shinigami, the only Shinigami within the vicinity. As he addressed her, he would walk over towards her keeping a safe distance from her. **~~

~~**Tenza, Xaska the flowered, pink lined shoulder draped Kimono hung loosely around her hourglass figure; the pulsing of reiki surged through the area as her attention was drawn towards it. With a turn of her head, she looked towards the being that addressed her. "It's Captain Tenza of the Fourth Division," she spoke calmly towards him allowing her golden eyes to lock onto his. "It is obvious that you are not Human nor Hollow, but something in-between. And so I have one question to ask you, what is it you want?" Though her words appeared cold and were spoken in such a manner, her appearance betrayed its meaning.**~~

~~**Lupus, Adam hazel eyes locked with the golden hue as cold words addressed him. "I'm here to kill you, Captain Tenza," he replied, smirking at the sound of his calm words. "It was probably obvious to you as to why I am here. We of the Pongo are not allowed to enter this scarred ground so to speak or so our master forbids it," he continued, placing his left hand on the hilt of his zanpaktou, as he would continue; "but I've already said too much and so you shall die today."**~~

~~**Tenza, Xaska "You're here to kill me," she replied questioningly, not allowing their contact to break. As she continued her gaze on him, she would extend her left hand inward, reaching down towards her right side. Pale fingers would grip around the brown-leather hilt of Exigotsuki, which was currently held by her obi sash. "Death is a word that one must not throw around carelessly. I however, would like to avoid conflict. Our words will always be our greatest weapon and as such, we can easily avoid any pointless battle, correct?" She spoke calmly, not allowing any fear to be hinted on her words. **~~

~~**Lupus, Adam as he heard the calm words of the Captain, a small grin grew upon his face. "Your words bore no fear. Is this because you are not scared or rather you are fearful of conflict and so you speak without fear to delude yourself that everything will in the end be okay." As the calm, and somewhat arrogant words left his lips he drew his zanpaktou and within an instant he'd disappear. The resonating static sound lingering in the air as his steel cut through the air; slashing downwards towards the Captain. "I've heard of what you Shinigami can do. This thing called bankai, it is strong, correct?"**~~

~~**Tenza, Xaska though his movements were fast, her eyes did not deceive her. Following the grace of his movements she drew Exigotsuki and with both hands gripping the zanpaktou she defended herself against his strike. "Bankai," she repeated allowing their eyes to lock once more before she pushed back on her zanpaktou, repelling Adam. "You are correct; Bankai is indeed strong." She answered allowing her breathing to calm itself as she took a step forward, and would in a flash appear behind Adam, slashing her zanpaktou downward towards him with one hand as she drew Fuzuwarai.**~~

~~**Tenza, Xaska his eyes are good. Although she did not allow the movement of her left hand to be a give away, she did not take note of his awareness; a mistake on her part, though one that would not be happening again. She raised Fuzuwarai to defend herself against the force of his kick. Though powerful, it was not enough to make her lose balance, at least not for long. Though, in said time she would not allow her opponent to get the better of her, and would, with the use of Hoho mastery, disappear once more, the full cutting edge of two zanpaktou slashing down at his back as she appeared behind him.**~~

~~**Lupus, Adam and so she disappeared once more. Though to what she would be meet with would be nothing more than a surprise as he spoke coldly and softly, "cero." The words emanated around the darkness that lingered about. "If you have bankai, use it or you will die here, Shinigami." His words followed after the silver pillar of energy had been fired from behind him, aiming directly for her. **~~

~~**Tenza, Xaska golden eyes widened in shock as he spoke, and to her surprise the pillar of energy known simply as 'cero,' emanated from him and shot towards her. Though she could do little to dodge such an attack, she could however use her own attack to minimize the damage she would be dealt. And in an explosion she was sent back, landing on her feet, she slid across the ground before coming to a stop. As the flowered kimono fell to the ground, she stood up. Allowing her next words to echo throughout the silence, "Play, Fuzuwarai; Exigotsuki." The words lingered in the air as her zanpaktous' transformed. Her clothing while damaged, she herself remained fine.**~~

~~**Lupus, Adam his eyes did not change as he turned around to see the impact of his cero. Though, to his surprised she'd remain unharmed, "You are quite strong; to take my cero head on, and remain unharmed is quite a feat." He commented her as he took note in the change in her zanpaktou. "However, you will need Bankai if you are to defeat me." The cold words left his parting lips as he placed his zanpaktou in front of him. Surging reiki pulsed around him, emitting a silver aura about as he spoke, "Terminus meus solitduo, Insula!" As the words boomed through his calm voice; he'd release his zanpaktou. "With my zanpaktou released, you will not leave this world alive," his voice emanated throughout the smoke that surrounding him, obscuring his released appearance. The gun-wielding Pongo whose left gun aimed towards her as the right gun was pointed downward. "Release or you will die here."**~~

~~**Tenza, Xaska "my Shikai shall do just fine, Pongo," she replied coldly. Not allowing the normal kind appearance she bore to change as the sudden increase in his reiki. "Your release, I would say is your final card, you are becoming serious then. If that is so, then what is your name, Pongo?" She questioned, though not allowing his next words to leave his lips, she would disappear. Sending Exigotsuki in a downward slash aiming to take of his shoulders, as Fuzuwarai would slash horizontally, aiming to chop him in half.**~~

~~**Lupus, Adam though she questioned him, it appeared as she had no intention of allowing him to answer. Spinning around, he caught the slash of Exigotsuki with his left gun and Fuzuwarai with his right gun; "The name is Adam." Pointing the guns towards her, he spoke, "Your nature seems to be fierce and relentless unlike your appearance." As the words left his lips he would pull back the trigger of the gun, as two, powerful pillars of silver energy shot forth from his guns.**~~

~~**Tenza, Xaska "Adam," she repeated faintly to herself as the pillars of energy shot towards her. Though, they only went to miss as she disappeared once more. With the utilization of shunpo, she appeared quickly behind him, bringing the swords down in a repetition of quick slashes. "In the end, thee who is able to call their selves the victor is all that matters, no?" **~~

~~**Lupus, Adam "I suppose you are right. But I would not give you the one to believe in such a theory, after all you were the one who wanted to avoid bloodshed, correct?" He said, his words spilled out his mouth quickly as he fended himself against the barrage of slashes coming forth him. All the while he took necessary actions in firing off quick ceroes directed towards her, though, granted her previous fighting style, they would all be useless with her speed.**~

~~**Tenza, Xaska "You are correct," she replied to him as she continued her onslaught. Her movements, while fast were not sloppy. Graceful in each step, her movements displayed her skills to the fullest as she used her graceful body along with its agile skills to parry incoming attempts that Adam would make at her attempting to strike her one of his ceroes. And as she saw a chance to counter she did so. In a flash she disappeared as the silver hue shot before her, and appearing behind him, her zanpaktous raised as she swung them down in a 'X'. The attack itself was not meant to hit, as a swirling tornado-like blast came forth.**~~

~~**Lupus, Adam her movements were graceful as the two fought; obviously she was one skilled in both speed combat as well as swordsmanship; she was a strong opponent indeed. As she once again disappeared, he allowed his ceroes to shot forth before turning around to see her slashing down. In what was anticipated he would quickly dash back, though not prepared for the tornado-like blast that would come next. "All that in unexpected can be expected," would be his words as the tornado shredded against his iron-like body. Though, before any real damage could be done, the tornado had dispersed before him. The two, silver and gray guns would then be pointed towards her, as he spoke, "bang." And as the utterance of his words emanated from around him, so did two, powerful silver hues shot forth.**~~

~~**Tenza, Xaska unfair, don't you think? "I think so indeed," her voice emanated faintly as she replied to her zanpaktous' calm voice. In a shone of light, the ceroes had dispersed upon impact with her zanpaktou as she rose them in defense. "Fuzuwarai thinks that it is unfair for my attacks to have no effect on you. Rather childish, don't you think?" She questioned him calmly as she would appear before him, slashing downward as she spoke, "how about we play a game?"**~~

~~**Lupus, Adam his eyes remained the same as his ceroes had dispersed. "Is this an effect of your zanpaktou?" He questioned as his guns were raised in defense to her slash. "Games, I don't like games." Replying calmly he would push up against his guns pushing her back as he would take aim.**~~

~~**Tenza, Xaska "Control and Regulation. All within Fuzuwarai spiritual pressure is within my control. In this zone my word is law. However, Exigotsuki regulates so that all is fair. So I can't just say, I want you dead and you die for that would be unfair. However, at the same time, if I cannot die while you can. It's really simple, don't you think? It allows us to be quite selfish. What a bitch, right?" She spoke tauntingly as she relaxed her stance, "So tell me, what game do you wish to play." **~~

~~**Lupus, Adam "hmm. Interesting...but tell me. Does it apply for me as well? You will die," he spoke coldly as he appeared before her. His right gun placed at her head the other at her stomach, as he would pull the trigger. "Bang," the words followed calmly after the energies had fired.**~~

~~**Tenza, Xaska "It does, however, that is unfair." As the ceroes had fired, they would however, divert from their path and would strike Adam instead. "It was your turn, which you just wasted. As all your powers are now useless. Since I have no powers, it would only be fair. Right?" right.**~~

~~**Lupus, Adam plummeting down into the ground, a smirk grew across his face as he stood up. "Never knew my ceroes would hurt so much," he would laugh after the words left his lips. "If my ceroes are useless, then I guess I'll have to lose 'em. You want to play a game right. Then let's play a game of chance. We use my gun. It can shoot out either a cero or nothing, if it does; whoever gets hit dies and loses. The winner lives, simple ehh." **~~

~~**Tenza, Xaska "Russian roulette..." It seems fair. It is fair. "Russian Roulette it is," she said allowing her zanpaktous to fall to her side as she walked towards him, "You shall shoot first; the rules are simple, if it shots you die, if it doesn't you live. Win or lose, it's all fair. **~~

~~**Lupus, Adam "Guess our lives will be decided by luck, how unfortunate for me," he said cheerfully allowing his hands to grip around his gun as he rose it to his chest. "Bang," he said as he pulled the trigger. 'Click,' the sound echoed throughout the silence, as he would toss the gun to Xaska. **~~

~~**Tenza, Xaska keeping calm to herself she caught the tossed gun, as she would place it to her chest as well. The cold iron pressing up against her skin as she would pull the trigger and 'click.' The comforting sound ringed through her ears, as she would toss the gun back to Adam. **~~

~~**Lupus, Adam the clicking sound of the gun once more lingered through the tensed air as he would grab his gun, and quickly placed it to his chest. "You're not very much fun. This is life and death we're talking about, you could at least be more lively before the big finish." He said as he would pull the trigger, once more the clicking sound emanated around him, as nothing would be produced. Tossing the gun towards her he would draw his second one. "Hold on to it." **~~

~~**Tenza, Xaska as she caught the gun this time, she quickly placed it to her chest, and would pull the trigger. Fear surging through her body as she tried not to think of the outcome; the only sound to reach her eyes would be that of the clicking of an empty barrel.**~~

~~**Lupus, Adam not allowing any words to leave his lips he would pull the trigger as the gun was placed to his chest. With a small on his face the 'click' did not go off, as the cero would be fired. Piercing through his chest as faint words left his lips, "bang." Was all that left him as blood gushed forward and he fell down backwards, dead.**~~
