Irisa didn't seem too pleased with that show or his words it seemed...yet Nezuel didn't seem to care. As the shinigami raised her fingers towards him the smile on his face only seemed to grow wider as he felt her riatsu flare. He stood still as the glass shards of her kido impaled themselves onto him causing wounds to sprout on his body, his hierro reflecting the most damage. He was barely wearing threads at this point as the electricity flared. He knew this kido, had used it against her, he supposed it was poetic.

In a single fluid motion, he drew his sword, stepping forward even as the twin rays of lightning came at him. His sword flashed out at one of them, striking the energy even as it sped up his arm and burned his skin, meanwhile as he ran his other hand would move up towards the sky. "BAKUDŌ #41: KYŌMON" he would whisper as a familiar gate formed in the sky above him, lightning hitting it and turning it towards Irisa.

Nezuel got to the shinigami just as the kido she unleashed did, sword flashing twice as he jumped at her and brought his sword down.

Of course, Nezuel went for the Mirror Gate technique yet again - the Byakurai spell got reflected and struck Irisa's shield. "Good move..." As it had already sustained significant damage during the fight, the Shinigami finally chose to dissolve it, at least for now, and fight the Arrancar on more equal grounds.

Even without the shield, she still had an advantage in speed and strength. Irisa raised her nodachi overhead, blocking the full force of Nezuel's sword strike with ease, and deflected a second swing with a sideways swipe. Before the momentum of her parried had even ceased, she was already lifting her left hand forward and focusing her Reiatsu for new spells.

The poisonous tendrils she had summoned before to poison the Arrancar sprung out of the ground once again, seeking to inflict him with the same poison which had debilitated him a few seconds prior. Irisa herself, on the other hand, unleashed a second Byakurai spell, just as powerful as the last. A burst of lightning launched from her fingertips, seeking to zap Nezuel into submission.

"I thought so, Bakudo spells that reflect damage should be rather helpful...my natural hierro lets me mitigate damage...and draining energy from others seems like a good idea with my own reishi being rather...substantial." he would quickly say as the shinigami moved out of the way of his strikes.  He noted with some joy that the barrier around her had fallen...though it seemed far more like she had let it fall rather than anything else.

Irisa continued to hit him with kido after kido. He tried to move out of the way of the tentacles that appeared to attack him but the wounds caused by the glass shards previously caused his footing to slip and one of the tentacles wrapped around his arm, the poison seeping into the open wounds on his body. He turned to deal with the tentacle, taking his sword to the fleshy appendage, only to turn back to Irisa in time to catch lighting hitting his squarely in the body.

With that massive hit he fell to a knee, only prompted up by his sword that he had embedded in the ground. He leaned upon it for support as smoke rose from his body. Looking up he saw Irisa, barley harmed...the only damage done to her from her own kido. Perhaps she was right...perhaps he'd bitten off more than he could chew. He was never going to win this fight...so why add a bet to it?

Because it was fun

This fight wasn't over yet, although he could feel the poison and bleeding...he was already done for, she could end him if she wished...but he wanted to scratch her first. Lightning crackled along his entire body as he started to chant, a voice in his mind telling him the words. It didn't take long, the low level kido incantations went complicated, though how he knew that too he didn't know. He flung out a hand, releasing a torrent of electricity at least twice as large as the previous attacks. " HADŌ #4: BYAKURAI"

Yet even as that energy left him he began another spell without an incantation...trying to surprise her as his final attack came her way. Small flower petals would fill her vision if he was successful, sending her into an illusion of calm and serenity. "BAKUDŌ #22: HAKUFUKU"

Perhaps she was taking things a little too far with Nezuel - the Arrancar was already on the back foot, kneeling down after her attacks and holding himself up with his blade. Wounds were running across his body and poison was coarsing through his bloodstream - not different from how Irisa would dispatch any other Hollow, but the little Arrancar was only here for a friendly spar match, not a duel to the point where one of them collapses.

Nezuel answered her on whether she should start holding back again, however, by launching an another offensive in spite of his weakened condition. This time, he launched an even more powerful Byakurai, sending out twin blasts of lightning that aimed to overwhelm the Shinigami. Irisa narrowed her eyes, considering her options, then thrusted her Zanpakuto forward. Like a lightning rod, it drew the lightning blast to its direction, and its tip clashed against the technique. A flashy struggle continued for a few seconds before the Byakurai harmlessly died down.

Though it was over, Nezuel's offensive was not. As soon as Irisa's eyes caught the sight of the first cherry petal swirling around her, she knew what was going on - Nezuel was activating the Hakufuku spell. It was an illusionary spell, seeking to put an opponent off guard and drain their stamina, sometimes to the point of blacking out. Irisa glanced from one side to another, observing the falling petals. Even at her level of strength, the technique had some impact upon her, though it wasn't enough to knock her out.

"That's an interesting technique, even if it isn't uncommon..." Irisa commented, then swished across the air with her fingertips. "Bakudo #22: Hakufuku."

The exact same technique Nezuel had cast upon her would now be targeted towards him - aiming to sap his strength and gently bring the fight to a close.

He had to admit that it was rather disheartening to see his last ditch effort hado do nothing to her. She hadn't even dodged it, simply lifting up her zanpaktou and letting it take the brunt of the attack. Damn...she was strong. He stood there, still letting his sword hold him up as he lifted his hand for another attack. She hadn't responded yet and he could still feel his blood boiling, the foul substance of her kido in him still, his wounds seemed to have stopped their bleeding though.

Ice began to form around his hand as he started to say something. "BAKUDŌ #3-ah" his eyes went wide as he noticed the first petal. He had damaged her, true, but she was a kido expert far beyond his own skill...had his dirty trick to try and at least give her some wound inspired her to finish him off in the same way? The ice surrounding his hand broke apart as the first petal graced it, his eyes lost focus as they moved from the kido to Irisa's now blurry form.

He fell onto his back without a word, the white remains of his outfit turning red as they soaked in the small puddle on the ground underneath him, from the wounds he supposed. The burning in his veins stopped as his body began to go numb. His mind raced as his riatsu flared, voices in his head yelling at him to get up, to fight. Slowly, his hand let go of his sword to rest grab a hold of the bone cross around his neck. He had a small smile on his face as he palmed the object. It had been fun..this fight, and now it was up to Irisa on what to do with him.

So this was it, then. Nezuel may have been planning to do an another attack, but the exhaustion from the poison and the Kido techniques had finally gotten through to him, and the Arrancar ended up collapsing from his own technique. He fell upon the roof on his back, speechless, and started bleeding out, while his Reiatsu slowly died down, though Irisa was sure that he was going to live even after this much punishment.

She spun the nodachi in her hand and then pushed it into its sheath, and then tossed it over her back once again. Since Nezuel was an Arrancar, she wasn't going to offer him healing - but, she didn't go for the finishing blow, either. So, she merely glanced off to the distance, watching the panorama of the city from their heights, and letting Nezuel to push himself through the pain personally.

"Well, I am going to assume we're done here. Hope you found this spar worth it," Irisa spoke up, then turned towards Nezuel again. She had her mission, still, but the timeframe for finding that kid was not very strict - so, she could take some time off for what she was going to ask from the Arrancar. "And I hope you take your time before trying to challenge me again."

Nezuel opened his eyes to look at the sky.  He felt like he had blacked out but he couldn't be sure for how long...perhaps it had been seconds, or minutes...certainly not more?  He moved a hand in front of his face looking at it.  There were small holes in his skin, painted red by the burning poison.  They almost looked a little like freckles if it wasn't a bit more grim.  He supposed he could heal it...eventually, but he didn't know any medical techniques himself.  Perhaps that was something he should change in the future, it would let him fight for longer after all.

He stood up slowly, rising like a vampire from a stone coffin.  He let out a harsh breath, spitting some blood onto the floor by him before looking around.  "Still here?" he'd say with a smile to the blonde haired shinigami.  "And I was thinking you might use this opportunity to finish me off." he laughed, before coughing again.  Slowly he put a hand on both side of himself and started to rise, body aching.  "I found it very educational and I've learned quite a bit." he would straighten himself before taking one of his fists in his palms and bowing at the waist.  "Thank you."

He would still be bowed over before he dropped his arms a little, looking over them with a smile and a fire in his eyes.  "And I will challenge you when I am ready, of that you can have no doubt."  He would take a normal standing position before slowly moving to the sword stuck in the ground, pulling it out and putting it in his scabbard.  "But before that...what do you require of me?"

"Well, why should I? You still haven't paid off the debt you earned ten seconds ago."

Indeed, that was one of the reasons why Irisa chose to not purge Nezuel when she got the choice - the Arrancar might just become quite useful, and working with him for the time being helpful. Which, of course, still did not prove Takano right - because this is merely a one time affair, dependent on the circumstances, yes. Shinigami still need to act pragmatic whenever they can.

Irisa rose to her feet just as Nezuel did, and folded her hands behind her back, unknowingly (or perhaps knowingly?) presenting her chest in the process. Hearing the Arrancar's confidence, she grinned, and nodded when he asked her of what her request for him will be.

"Ohhh, I will request something terrible. Something that would be certain death for anyone but the bravest, toughest, most loyal warriors..." Irisa quipped and raised her finger, with a faint smirk. "I want you to help me infiltrate Las Noches."

She stopped for a dramatic pause, allowing the weight of her request to settle for a second, before continuing. "I would be able to mask my appearance and Reiatsu into an Arrancar's, but all by myself, I wouldn't be able to keep up the illusion if I got confronted by any inhabitant of Hueco Mundo and questioned - but if I have a real Arrancar by my side, such as yourself, then you will be able to cover for me there. Do you think you will be up for the task?"

Nezuel had to admit that Irisa's somewhat subtle manipulation of him was rather impressive.  His eyes had dipped from her eyes to other parts of her as he had walked over, moving back up only after a moment of appreciation...followed by the fact that she likely knew what she was doing.  He risked another glance...it wasn't that he didn't care that she might be manipulating him...rather if she was he might as well take the offered bait and reward. Still he sighed mentally as his eyes went to and focused on her eyes.  "There are several things I would need to know, or perhaps like to." he would say in a tone that suggested he had, not for a moment, contemplated rejecting the request.  "What is your purpose in doing so, simply so I know what part of Las Noches we will need to get to and an escape route if the plan fails."

His eyes would go back up and down her body, this time clinical and inspective.  "I'm also curious as to how you're going to suppress yourself that much.  I have an idea but to make it happen I'll have to do something rather dark, so how far down such a path are you willing to go?" He turned, pacing a little and thinking before looking back up at her.  He slowly walked towards her, stopping just outside the reach of the stance she had taken.  "And of course I'll do this for you, you're my friend, you didn't need to get a favor from me first."

Nezuel offered two very reasonable questions. First off, what were her intentions for the infiltration of Las Noches, and so, what should Nezuel be prepared for? As the headquarters of the Arrancar legions inhabiting Hueco Mundo, it was understandably quite vast, and there were a lot of things that "infiltrating" it could mean. Second, how was she going to pass for an Arrancar? Nezuel was already plotting some methods, claiming that they would require him to do something really dark - was he casually considering Hollowification for her/

Faintly nodding, Irisa began giving him answers:

"I'd prefer to be brought as close to the Queen of the Hollows as possible. We won't have to fight her or the Espada, and I will not try to kill anyone, either - ideally, at least - but the closer I can approach her, the better. As for how I'll be able to impersonate an Arrancar... don't worry, you won't need to commit anything you might regret. I know exactly what I need."

Irisa held up her hand, using her magic to materialize a small piece of paper between her fingertips. "If you mind, would you be able to meet me in a week's time in Tendo Shoten? It's not that far from here, by the standards of the World of the Living, anyway." The paper in her hand had an address written on it, leading to an inconspicuous looking shop in downtown Tokyo. "We'll be able to begin our adventure from there."

He had to admit the he was put at ease as Irisa stated that she wouldn't attempt to kill or fight anyone...at least not on purpose.  While mistakes were certainly possible and deaths were a common occurrence in Hueco Mundo Nezuel still had misgivings about turning the Hollow Queens court hostile towards him.  Despite his relation to Haven, Takano, Gaia, and other figures he knew that he would have to return to Hueco Mundo sooner or later, the political fallout of a free arrancar running around was likely going to be high.  Then again just bring a shinigami to Hueco Mundo...Las Noches, what type of issue would that create and how would she be hiding her appearance and riatsu signature, perhaps remove it entirely?

"I trust you to get what you need." he would say with a nod before looking towards the paper she had.  "I will also prepare what I must as a backup." his eyes drifted from the paper to Irisa's face, her eyes...and then dropped to her lips.  They didn't have much time left together here and he might as well say goodbye.  Before he knew it he had taken a step forward, lips moving before they hit a single finger she had held up, the same finger holding the paper.

The joy in his red eyes seemed to dim for a moment as they looked to her own yellow ones.  He had hopped that he wouldn't have to earn a favor to kiss her if he asked...the act he had just committed replacing words.  Perhaps the message was clear and cut, business first...or perhaps she just didn't want to kiss him but the once.  Perhaps he had to earn it?

A different light entered his eyes as he kissed the finger lightly, taking the piece of paper and nodding slightly.  He walk past her, taking a finger to the air as he opened a garganta.  He turned to face her, keeping his body facing away as he smiled at her..  "I'll be there...it was nice seeing you Irisa, sincerely" Then he plunged out of the world and into another.
