The Infinite Walk (AW)

The life of an Espada certainly hadn't changed much about Senetue as it was pretty much the same as when he was a normal faccion except for the fact that he now had command over his own squad. Yet it was a rather lonely thing due to the fact that no one really seemed to want to be in Senetue's little group considering he was the smallest between Kyouga and Claire. As such he found a lot more time in studying the surrounding landscape of both Huceo Mundo and the Living World. He seemed pretty clean at this point, having only recently taken a shower but he appeared to take no time in straightening himself up. He pretty much wore what he always did this days, a long lab coat which the sleeves ran past his hands, the end nearly touched the ground and the collar hid his neck. "Why is everything so boring." He found himself saying, talking to himself to this point while he turned his head to the side and looked down. His hair following the movement by shifting and drooping down in front of his face. He had found himself deep into the Hueco Mundo Desert, trying to the find the boundaries of the desert and trying to pretty much map out the entire area through memory.

Boredom though had quickly overwhelmed Senetue which caused him to end up in his current situation while he remained still and allowed the breeze to gently roll against his body. His hair danced softly in the breeze while his red eyes remained locked onto the white sand on the ground as he studied even that at this point. He could tell just by looking at the sand that it was exactly the same color as his lab coat, it was a fine grain which allowed it to blow through the breeze and made up around seventy or so percent of Hueco Mundo. His eyes looked up from the ground after thinking that over with himself, his eyes quickly locking onto the many dead trees that spotted the desert and he began to thing that over to himself. "The trees here are completely dead and make up less of Hueco Mundo then the sand. It adds to an underlying tone that pretty much everything in this desert is dead and dry. The sun never rises and it forever remains night." He said, stating the surroundings to himself softly before he kicked the sand and slowly began to walk once again. Unsure of where he was going but he certainly wouldn't mind conversing with some one or having a small sparing match since he hadn't fought with anyone since his exam.

"Indeed, you might even call it 'Eternal Night' here." I familiar voice echoed as a black mist descended onto the ground a few feet from Senetue, and solidified into Kyouga's familiar figure as he walked toward Senetue. "Wouldn't you like to find out what Hell Village is like?" Kyouga teased the higher ranking Espada, but he did it rather in a polite manner. One of these days, Kyouga would have to always wear a suit like Ciel did. Unfortunately, they made him feel rather uncomfortable. "Anyway, I was wondering if you would like to spar with me, Senetue." Kyouga said more seriously this time.

He shrugged at the familiar voice as he knew who it was instantly and in reality Kyouga was just being more fancy with his word choice then what Senetue was while he described everything with simple word choice. "I'll find out what it's like one day." Senetue said, not really looking towards Kyouga as he just looked out into the horizon, his eyes twitching every once in a while as he seemed to be studying things still. He found it a pain being a teenager, he was always full of energy which was the main cause of him actually wanting to take time to walk the desert alone. He had been up for multiple days at this point, that was visible by the black rings underneath his red eyes as he had spent days just walking the desert and thinking of new things to create. His lab coat seemed to shift when Kyouga asked about sparing, his hand appearing from one of the sleeves as he held what appeared to be a regular human world cheeseburger. "I guess... You'll probably win since I haven't had proper sleep for close to a week now." He said, not even looking to Kyouga as he lowered his head, his long blue hair shifting as he began to nibble on the cheeseburger.

"Well, actually, I don't sleep at all. Yet, I am confident that you will pull through." Kyouga said as he pondered if Senetue could really surpass Lasci. Regardless, Kyouga just wanted prove that he was stronger than his rank suggested. Kyouga then sonidoed right next to Senetue, and attempted to give him the right hook. Kyouga didn't put in much effort in the punch, but it was strong enough to kill a normal person. At any rate, Kyouga was always on the border of adulthood. For the most part, he was already grown up, but the only thing that kept him in his teen form was his pendent.

Senetue seemed to remain still, he was not like Kyouga considering he was pretty much part demon which meant that he could probably go a longer period without sleep then most people. Senetue believed that a person's strength couldn't be ranked since it would always grow but even when Kyouga moved, Senetue just remained still and took the right hook. Yet even when the hit collided with Senetue's body, he didn't seem to move from the spot as he only looked out towards the horizon before he took a bite of his cheeseburger. He ended up pushing the chewed up burger into one of his cheeks while his eyes turned to look at Kyouga. "Neh... Harder."

"Alright then." Kyouga said as he put some of his Spiritual Pressure behind his kick that was aimed at Senetue's stomach. He wanted to see how well Lobo had trained Senetue, but it was likely that Senetue had a very advanced endurance because of his training. However, Kyouga hoped to see Senetue's Ressurrecion. In any case, he was curious to see his peer's full potential.

Senetue remained still as he allowed Kyouga to throw as many kicks and punches as he wished in Senetue's direction. When Kyouga went to kick, or at least right before the kick collided, Senetue leaned forward just as the kick made contact with his stomach. Not only did it seem tough as reinforced skill but Senetue allowed his body to move with the kick causing less damage then what it would have done as Senetue ended up skidding about two or three inches in the opposite direction. He closed his eyes slowly before he reopened them, his eyes looked to the cheeseburger in his hand which he brought up to his mouth and took another bite from it. "My body feels numb... must be the lack of sleep or you just need to hit harder..."

Kyouga was starting to become a litte impatient, and he fired a black Cero at Senetue. He was getting tired of playing games with Senetue, and he wish that Senetue would just get more into it. Right now, Kyouga thought that it wasn't time to bring out some of his demonic power. Regardless, he thought that Senetue should at least fight back.

Senetue seemed to only continue his lazy demeanor as he slowly at his cheeseburger right as Kyouga fired the black cero but instead of allowing it to hit, Senetue rolled out of the way. He rolled down a small slope of sand till he reached the bottom and slowly stood up. He ended up having to shake his cheeseburger to get the sand out of it before he once again took another bite from it as it appeared only one more bite remained in it. "Show me just how strong you are Kyouga. Don't tell me that you remained at the same level of strength as you were at when you were a faccion." Senetue said, lazily looking to Kyouga with his red eyes before he kicked what pretty much turned into a wave of sand at Kyouga.

"Release thy anger, and convert it into flame..." Kyouga chanted as he forced his demon blood to stir, and his appearance changed. "Come now, Senetue. Why do you hold back so much? Kyouga asked in a dark tone with a toothy smile as he kicked the wave of sand away. Flames seemed to eagerly lick Kyouga's body, but the flames themselves were a part of him.

"Because you look like an utter buffoon." Senetue said, eating the last bite of his cheeseburger before he took a couple steps back and reached into the sleeve of his lab coat. He quickly jumped, spinning in the air as he kicked on of the dead trees, forcibly uprooting it and sending it flying at Kyouga. Senetue while he watched this merely pulled a large slice of pizza from his lab coat as he waited to see what Kyouga would do.

Kyouga quickly inhaled, and breathed out a very large amound of fire that completly shattered the uprooted crystaline tree. In addition, Kyouga wasn't even as much as scratched from the debris. Kyouga simply placed a hand on his hip, and waited for Senetue to make his next move.

Spoiler:

Senetue slipped the pizza into his mouth, allowing some of it to dangle against his chin as he kicked his foot back which caused a small amount of sand to kick up into the air. Yet in a split second he disappeared, sand flying in every which direction as he reappeared in front of Kyouga, crouched slightly with his palms open and arms pulled back. In an instant he threw them towards Kyouga, planning to hit Kyouga directly in the stomach and try to get him to fly off a good distance so he could enjoy his pizza.

Kyouga leaned forward into the hit, and he skidded a little over a yard away. Once he stopped, Kyouga stood up straight again and waited for Senetue to finish eating. Besides, he thought that it was the best thing for him to do. Also, the path of his skid had turned the sand, his feet had touched, into volcanic glass. "Take your time, there is no need to rush." Kyouga said calmly with a smile.

Senetue slowly lowered himself, moving into a sort of squatting like position while both of his hands remained in between his legs and pressed against the soft sand. His tongue seemed to work at the pizza as it began to slide up and a little more entered his mouth. "Mmm..." He said, his hair seemed to sway slightly as a violet aura began to surround his body, his hands clenched into the sand as he once again moved. This time he was just as quick, appearing in the air in mid spin as he aimed to slam his leg against Kyouga's head as fast and as hard as he could. He was more of a speed combatant which meant that his legs were pretty much all muscle.

Kyouga quickly stepped to the right, and avoided the kick. As a counter attack, Ken unsheathed his katana with a vertical slice aimed at Senetue. If the attack hit, Senetue would be burned by the flames. In any case, Kyouga was very curious about Senetue's potential.

As Senetue continued to spin, slowing at this point, his right arm stuck out and soon enough a black shape slid out of his coat as it met with Kyouga's katana and quickly knocked Senetue away. The shape disappeared back into his sleeve as he slid across the sand, leaning his body back to stop himself before he moved again but this time he was closer to the ground. His right arm moved once again, his spear sliding out from underneath his sleeve as he aimed to knock Kyouga off of his feet.

Since Senetue was keeping himself close to the ground, Kyouga was easily caught off-guard by the spear. This also put Kyouga at a disadvantage, and it was clear that Senetue had a very special way of fighting. Regardless, Kyouga still had a few tricks up his sleeve for later.

Senetue ended up using one hand to push himself back, basically jumping through the air till he landed back on his hands and feet while his spear quickly slid back up his sleeve. He swayed slightly while he was on the ground, his red eyes pinned on Kyouga as if waiting for Kyouga to make a move.

Kyouga landed and shot a Chaos Cero at Senetue once he got back on his feet, but it was getting a bit tiresome to fight with Senetue. "Are you ready to go all out yet?" Kyouga asked curiously, and wondering if he should really show him how monstrous he really was. However, that in itself might be viewed as a curse.

Senetue had already quickly stuck his hand out, his spear sliding out where it surprisingly and effectively sliced the Chaos Cero in half when it met as his spear began to glow with a mystical violet. He slowly began to stand up, his hand reaching into his sleeve where he pulled out a gray orb which he quickly slipped into his mouth. "I am... but don't expect leaving without some deep cuts in your flesh." Senetue said, taking his spear from his sleeve and tossing his lab coat along with his shirt to the side. He visibly bit down on the orb which seemed to knock him out of his sleep like state as the black rings disappeared from underneath his eyes. His body began to grow in muscle mass as his body became enveloped in his violet aura. "Let's see how powerful you are Espada Nueve."

Kyouga was suddenly enveloped in a black aura, and he soon took on a more beastly appearance. What was most peculiar was that he now had nine tails that looked inhuman. Right now Kyouga looked a lot like a monster, and he looked like he would attack his prey at any moment. Currently, he was on all fours and he was definitely wild. For now, Kyouga just waited for Senetue to make his next move.

Senetue began to slowly sway where he stood, both of his hands held his spear as he seemed to stare down Kyouga, neither a look of being impressed or fear was on his face. The only look he gave was a rather neutral one as he moved, the sand shifting as he launched himself at Kyouga, his hands spinning his spear before he aimed it at Kyouga. He quickly gave a thrust as he attempted to jab Kyouga with it and hopefully harm him in some way shape or form.

Kyouga avoided the attack by using Sonido, and attempted to claw though Senetue's flesh. If the attack was successful, Senetue's back would be cut deep. However, Kyouga still wanted to push Senetue to his utmost limits. At any rate, Kyouga was actually starting to enjoy himself a little bit. Unfortunately, Senetue would definitely be more than a challenge now.

Senetue's foot just barely touched the ground as Kyouga went for a swipe at his back, his muscles reacted by pushing on the ground, causing him to flip over Kyouga before kicking off the air. His spear aimed straight for Kyouga's back as he moved a little faster than the previous attack, the sharp point of his spear loomed menacingly as he attempted to pierce it straight through Kyouga.
