The Adaptive Quincy of Bleach

"Let me see your Shikai..."

Simple words, really. Sora just wanted to see his girlfriend's Shikai, to see what he was working with.

"Dance, Sode no Shirayuki,"

were the words that left Rukia's mouth as she activated her Zanpakutō's Shikai state.

Her blade was white... as white as snow, one might even say.

"Let's spar," Sora said, getting into a stance. So did she.

"Some no mai, Tsukishiro,"

As Rukia called out the name of the dance, she held her Zanpakutō upside down, causing the blade to glow. When Sora got close to her, she made a slashing motion and drew a circle with the tip of Sode no Shirayuki. Everything within this circle froze.

She rushed toward him and started slashing.

Sora dodged and parried each of her blows. Something felt off.

She said her Shikai ability was ice manipulation, sure, and it did look like it came from the sword. However, being in tune with Reishi like Sora was... he could vaguely see that Rukia's blade was not, in fact, the thing emitting the cold.

It was something else.

As he dodged all her attacks, he noticed something odd—what seemed to be the leftover residue of the Hōgyoku that was inside her.

It was coming to life the closer she came to him, as if it wanted to come back to him.

As if it was just a missing piece of his body wanting to return to him.

"Hadō #4. Byakurai,"

she said as she gathered high-density spiritual energy, intending to discharge it from both hands.

However, Sora, deciding to be a cock-blocker, plundered the Reishi that was gathering in her hands.

And thus, her Hadō spell never truly formed.

She gripped her sword, and using Shunpo, appeared in front of him. He gently grabbed her hand and began dancing with her.

The more they fought, the more it looked like a dance rather than a battle. Sora, ever so subtly, used his control over the ambient Reishi in the air to imbue her body with spiritual energy.

He made sure to keep her fresh; after all, she was technically a being made of Reishi.

She swung her blade at his neck. However, Sora didn't dodge. This caused her to worry, and at the last second, she tried to pull back. Her blade, however, still made contact with his neck.

Contrary to what she believed would happen, his neck was fine. Blue veins could be seen all around it, like some sort of armor.

Her hand, on the other hand, began to bleed. Did she get hurt... hitting him?

Her peerless white blade was dirtied with her azure blood.

Her eyes, however, still seemed determined.

As she clashed her Zanpakutō with Sora's Reishi-constructed sword, for some odd reason, even though they were fighting...

This felt nice.

"You're doing good. Keep going," he said calmly, taking in a deep breath. She gazed at Sora. At the very least, she managed to make him remove his hands from his pockets.

Sora was indeed fighting with both hands in his pockets. You may be wondering: how could he be fighting Rukia if his hands were not touching his blade?

The answer was simple... Ransōtengai.

For those who are not familiar with this technique, it is a high-level skill that enables the user to control their body parts using strings of Reiryoku, which are manipulated by their brain.

This forms lines or strings composed of Reishi. With this technique, a Quincy can move their body like a puppet, allowing for free movement even in the face of paralysis, broken limbs, or any other condition that would normally hinder movement.

Sora was using such an advanced technique to move his sword around. Yup, he was doing that with his hands in his pockets. There was nothing in the Quincy books that said Ransōtengai could not be used that way.

He was not planning on accidentally hurting Rukia since his control over his Reiryoku had not been the best ever since that black substance emerged from the depths.

He didn't want to accidentally use way too much power and hurt her. This was for the best.

Suddenly, Rukia got stronger out of nowhere, somehow managing to overpower the sword and rush straight at him.

When he tried to raise his hand to block her strikes, he felt the dark, ominous presence once again trying to come out. His Reiryoku was thrown out of whack. Sora could barely control it, and he would be damned if he raised his hand against Rukia while in this state.

Feeling like he had no other choice, he didn't even try to guard against Rukia's strike.

Rukia's blade came very close to his neck but, fortunately, stopped before touching him.

Glancing at Rukia, he could tell that Some no Mai, Tsukishiro, her blade, was waking up.

As he gazed at the woman in front of him, he couldn't help but notice the way her body temperature was below freezing level, how snowflakes could be seen all around her, how her eyes were now a piercing blue color.

She was determined.

A/N....Sora's control over his Reiryoku all mess up, Rukia growing, wondering why...{Spoiler}{Spoiler}...Well, I can't do any spoilers.

Watch Sora use Ransotegai to stop an erection,I wonder what Quilge Opi would think.
