Snippet #2618128

Tenshin was happily handing out food and money, playing the role of Satan quite well he thought, until his comrades came to pull him up on it. He was well aware he was already low on funds, especially after being banned from work with this damnable probation, but nonetheless he couldn't help well, wanting to help.

When Ryuu mentioned aiming for the top he turned to her with a dangerous glint in his one showing eye as he somberly pulled his demon mask off and held it by his side."I know I can't do much here, and to be honest I hate it, but to them it might be the difference in their week." He took a moment to unravel the bandages around his knuckles and arms to reveal the blood that stained them almost to the elbow in thick splotches and cuts "I'm going to be Captain even if it kills me, but I know I need to calm down, does that cover the gist of it? I just hate the waiting is all. But hey, Kenpachi issued a challenge." He clenched his fist hard and the wooden mask in his hand splintered under the duress as a predatory grin spread across his face, baring his sharp canines. "I'm going to tear them to shreds~" He whistled out in a singsong tune.

He heard his number being called and tapped Ryuu's shoulder "Thanks for setting me straight, blah blah, wanna watch me kick some ass?" He chuckled, grinning wide again, the predatory gleam still in his eyes as he jogged back to take his number from Shizuna. He knew his sudden swap of attitude was as erratic as his previous adventure, but he'd vented, and he wanted to punch something, so he hopped up onto the stand and shrugged off the top of his uniform and let it roll down to hang at his waist. In front of him was a familiarly beefy fellow and from across the small arena they blinked at each other in surprise.

"Is that you chubby?~ Where's my free breakfast?~" He sung, flashing a toothy grin his way, but to his surprise the big brute didn't back down. Instead he grinned back and got into a fighting stance "I've been practicing squirt, when I kick your ass you'll leave the 11th for good just like last time. If you get lucky, I'll do your chores for a month." Tenshin whistled and threw off his bandages entirely "Sounds good~ Make it two and you have a deal~" 'chubby' nodded and the two squared off. The announcer set the rules, first one to surrender, get knocked out, or bleed, barring Tenshin's current injuries, was the loser.

Tenshin looked to his right and gave Ryuu a playful wink before dispersing in a flash, his shin slamming up to crack loudly against his foes forearm and his hand planting into the floor, using the position to push the man back. Tenshin's grin widened and he ducked under the mans swing, slamming an open palm into his ribcage and channeling Rieatsu through the blow to crack his ribs. He attempted to flip back but was caught by a swift kick, causing him to tumble back out of reach instead and forcing him to dodge the next blow. Tenshin hauled himself up and spun around a direct punch, grabbing him by the back of the hand and slamming his elbow into the other mans hard, dislocating his shoulder from the yanking action, the brute growled and landed a sweeping punch into Tenshin's ribs and hurtled him across the small arena, grabbing him by the head and slamming his knee into Tenshin's face before throwing him back.

The Shinigami stumbled a bit as he stood up and prodded his old wounds, he looked up to his opponent who was in mid charge and grinned ever wider. Waiting until the last possible moment before Shunpoing in under his guard, curling his hand into a claw and rapidly slamming the palm into the mans prodigious gut before Shunpoing out, panting breathlessly as his opponent stumbled. He vanished again and appeared behind him, standing solidly and punching him directly in the spine to send the man toppling over, Tenshin stumbled over him and lifted him up with the same hand by his head. He revealed his canines again and with a high-speed punch sent him spinning along the floor to fall unconscious at the other end.

The holder of the match declared him the victor and he cheered for himself weakly before walking off the stage with his usual smile to collect a small amount of betting money, he made a show of wrapping his arm around Shizuna's shoulder and cheering "Well that was fun, no chores for me!", before Shizuna could shrug him off he whispered in her ear under the cover of his celebratory arm wrap "Don't tell the big guy, but I'm bleeding pretty hard, I tried Tessho out on the big lug and thankfully it didn't work...but it backfired pretty good." He said with an awkward smile, rubbing the back of his hair before giving another celebratory whoot.

"Yeah I'm pretty tired guys." He yawned exaggeratedly "Beating meatheads tuckers me out pretty good, I'm just gunna...take a nap back at the barracks, you guys enjoy without me!" He said with a smirk, drapping himself over Shizuna a bit more to cover his stumble. I really gotta learn to think when I fight, this is really not doing any wonders for my blood supply he thought absently.
