Roddo walks quietly through a forest just outside of seireitei, his attempts to find a quiet training place has seemed to fail once again. He continued to walk and came upon an opening at the end of the forest, he came to a clear open meadow where the sun seemed to just graze over the grass as the wind seemed to make the blades dance.
"This seems like a good enough place, about time." he said quietly to himself as he yawned. He laid his zankpakuto down on a thick bed of grass near his feet and began to stretch, his bones cracked and popped into place as he prepared for his up and coming training session.

Kanna walked solemnly into the forest and looked about. A good morning to train she thought to herself. She wanted to train on her skills, to see whether her skills were still up to bar with the other division captains.
Never want to fall behind the others..
She spotted a Shinigami nearby and was really interested. She had never seen him before but something told her he was a really good Shinigami. Smoothing out her captain's robes, she walked over to him, standing behind him.

As he continued to prepare his body for the upcoming exercise, he was planning on finishing up his prepaeration with a few squats. He slowly squated down a few times but suddenly he felt a presence in the air, he sat few still moving his fingers for a few as a soft wind swept through the fields. He bent down one last time, this time he grabbed his sword with his right appendage and twisted with a fast motion bringing it in an uppercut motion. Suddenly everything stopped throughout the field and fell silent, there he was was stiff holding the hilt of his sword to a taichos chin.
"Sorry taicho, I didn't know it was you ... you should know better than to sneak up on me like that " he said as he nodded and returned his sheathe to his side, he kind of ignored her presence as he continued to stretch. He knew she was a captain by the type of garbs she wore, but such authority didn't really bother him.

Roddo's sudden movement brought her to unsheath her sword. She nodded to him and she could sense that the Shinigami before him didin't really care much that a captain was right behind him.
"No worries. It was my fault that I stood behind you. Sorry for scaring you. 13th Division Captain, Kuchiki Kanna. And you are?"

Roddo slowly stands from his current position and face the taicho after she introduces herself, such an introduction sort of made him obliged to answer.
"Sabajino, Roddo member of the 9th division ... so what are you doing out here?" he said with much curiousity. This isn't really a place where you would normally see a captain just pondering around. Though it didn't really concern him he was just wondering why she was invading his space.

Kanna smiled at Roddo and wondered why he was so arrogant in manner. She had not met many 9th Division members as of yet and knew not what they're abilities are.
"I am here looking to train and tone my skills." A sudden thought formed into her mind. "Let's train together. An unseated member can use some training from a captain."

Roddo became a little irritated by the thought oftraining with the captain but didn't know why. such thoughts left his mind though as he continued to listen to what she had to say.
"I usually don't consort myself with other people when it comes to training, i don't like to rely on others ... " he says as his voice seems to trail off but quickly averts from that "Well, i haven't had a good spar in a long time ... people that actually DO consort themselves with me tend to fall short when it comes to a challenge. So ... I accept ... and i'm ready when you are .."
Roddo grabs his sheathe with his left hand and jumps away from the taicho, he stand straight up and down waiting to see what she will come with. He was good at determining his moves and thinking out the best strategy when it came to fighting ... captain ... or not.

Kanna smiled at Roddo. She hadn't had a good spar in awhile as well. This should be really interesting. Unsheathing her own sword she jumped a few feet away from her opponent. Her blade pointed downward, she waited.
"Your move first."

Roddo smirked a bit expecting her to make the first move, but considering her position of power he quickly understoo her reasoning and accomodated her request. He sat still examining her solid stance and waited. Suddenly with his right hand he lay he palm upwards down at his side, he started moving his finger every so slight as a slight wind began to pick up and settle around his feet. Coincidentally he started to hover about 2 inches off the ground as he smiled and landed.
"Nice trick huh ?" he said as he started running from sided to side in the direction of the captain with his sword still sheathed. As he approached her he suddenly skid to her right foot and went for a sweep, this was just to see her reaction to such an attack and get on there way.

Kanna watched as Roddo began to hover above ground for a second and looked at his hand. Ah, rieatsu controlling movement. It was a decent technique and it was good. She hadn't seen it very often, epecially in training. She went into defensive position as Roddo began to attack. A nice combat attack. She jumped inthe air and landed one foot from where she originally stood. She went for a direct attack, wasting no time.
Holding her Zanpackto horizontally, she attempted to make a phyiscal horizontal slashing motion at Roddo's waist.
"Very nice trick, but I hope there's more to come then just that."

Even in his tall stature Roddo managaed to move like he weighed 80 lbs, such mobility and strength came as a suprise to most of his opponents. As he rose from his sweep he watched closely as she landed, and expected a counter ... but not so sudden.
As the blade almost reached it's destination Roddo ducked in a crouch position as the blade skimmed over his head. He watched as a few hair fell n front of his face. "Aww d**n ... not the hair." he thought to himself as he then launched both of his feet at the shins of the taicho.
"Oh believe me, that was nothing ..."

Kanna smiled and watched the expression of Roddo's face change. She had took a few strands of his hair but she never knew he cared much about it. She made another attack, this time going to a vertical slash to the top of his head. Jumping up she sent her blade crashing down at him. It only looked forceful but she wanted to keep injuries to the minimal.
"I'll be watching Roddo. I expect alot from you then."

Roddo watched as the captain evaded his attack once again by launching herself into the air, as she made her decent he sensed the danger and acted accordingly. He brought his legs back in and rolled back bringing his sheathe horizontal above his head as he watched her blade scrape across it. "Heh, that was close ... i have to get more serious about this." he thought to himself as he rose to his feet.

Kanna's blade had only scraped Roddo's blade. She liked how he reacted so quickly to her attack. She knew he had faltered and expected him to be more consistent afterward. She jumped from her position and landed opposite of Roddo, waiting for his next move.

(It was my sheathe that you scraped across but lets just go with it.)
Roddo stood staring at the captain in front of him as he begin to prepare for his next move. There were always a few things that Roddo never understood about his strange abilities, he figured he would bring this subject into the spar. "One thing i never understood since the academy, is how my reiatsu moved so freely throughout my body with little effort ... I'll give you a visual."
Roddo sheathed what remained visible of his sword and held his pointer finger in the air as he continued to focus on the captain. Suddenly, he seemed to be drawing energy from the surrounding area as it came to a tip on his finger. A white aura formed around his finger, suddenly it began to move around his body. It was no bigger than a quarter, but it moved fast enough for your eyes to lose track of its where-abouts. Roddo brought it from fingertip to fingertip, then around his shoulders as though he was playing with it. The energy then shot through his legs and into the ground, the ground seem to pulsate as the energy then formed then lines on the outside of his feet.
A smile formed upon the lips of Roddo ... "Watch this .... !" he said with excitement as the energy seemed to silently explode blowing the trees behind him out there roots as he launched himself toward the captain with tremendous speed. As he approached his captains body dug his sheathe into the ground with ground force as he brought brought of his legs up aiming them towards the taicho. His feet were aimed directly at the chest of his opponent.
