Torin had a lot more difficulty entering the 11th division to confront Kenpachi than he had meeting with Byakuya. Apparently, knowing Torin would be coming, Kenpachi had ordered his squad to attack Torin on sight if he was spotted near the barracks.
Torin ducked a sword slash and knocked a man out with a punch to the gut, then did a spinning roundhouse kick to drop two more. Behind him a long path of groaning defeated foes seemed to stretch forever.
Torin's moos was rather sour now, the constant attacks were a nuisance at best. His hakuda was really bad compared to his other skills, but he was still a captain, and unseated shinigami like these weren't even a good warm-up exercise for him.
Torin turned the corner and found himself facing two men that looked much stronger than the weaklings of before, one had a bowl cut and feathers is his part and on his right eye, the other was bald, both boasted impressive reiatsu, Torin judged the bald one to be 3rd seat to Lieutenant level, at least at first glance, something about him said he wasn't showing his whole power though. The other one had a similar vibe, he was displaying the reiatsu of a 5th seat, but it was clear to Torin that he had more power than he was showing as well.
"I'm 5th seat Yumichika Asegawa" the bowl cut man said "I'll be your next opponent"
"5th seat huh? You sure about that?" Torin said "you don't look the part"
Yumichika frowned "you heard me correctly, now try to lose with beauty"
"Isn't that supposed to be 'lose with grace?'" Torin thought as he dodged a sword slash from the man. Torin backed away from two more slashes, then sidestepped a third, tripping Umichika as he did so.
Yumichika hit the ground hard, then got up, his face contorted with rage. "How dare you! You got dirt on my new uniform!" he roared
Torin gave the man a bemused look "uh… what?" he said
"Bloom! Fuji Kujaku!" Yumichika said, his sword then turned into a sickle with several blades
"you're releasing shikai because of THAT?" Torin asked incredulously as he ducked as slash, then another, and another as Yumichika attacked ferociously.
"Enough of this" Torin said in exasperation as he exerted his reiatsu on Yumichika, making him feel the full force of his power from just a step away. Yumichika collapsed, unable to breathe due to the pressure, soon he was unconscious, and Torin ceased crushing him.
"An interesting 5th seat, something tells me he wasn't very serious about the fight though" Torin said as he looked up to the bald man "I'm guessing he threw it so you could fight"
The bald man smiled "heh, I haven't felt that much reiatsu since the captain, looks like its my lucky day"
The man then proceeded to do a strange dance while singing "who is lucky, I am lucky, there's nobody as lucky as meeee, that's right I said meeeee! Lucky luck luckyyyy… meeeeee"
Torin's eye twitched "what… the… hell…was that?" he said, completely baffled by Ikkaku's lucky dance.
"You should be honored! I just showed you my famous lucky dance and song!" the man said
Torin sighed, apparently everyone in the 11th division was completely insane. "So are you going to attack first? Or shall I end this ridiculousness now?"
"Such arrogance, assuming you'll beat me in one move" the man said "I am Ikkaku Madarame, 3rd seat of the 11th division, I will not be defeated so easily"
Ikkaku drew his sword and helf his sheathe in his left hand, then charged Torin and slashed down across his chest.
Torin sidestepped the strike, then leaned back to narrowly avoid the sheath hitting him in the face, as it passed over he had to straighten and jump to avoid a leg sweep, and then Ikkaku stabbed for his heart while he was still airborne.
Torin caught the blade between his palms, stopping its progress, then placed his feet on the wall behind him and pushed the sword aside, then sprung off the wall and moved past Ikkaku, punching him in the face as he passed.
Torin got his feet on the ground, twisted and drove the punch through, throwing Ikkaku down the hall.
Ikkaku flipped in the air, landing on his feet with grace, though his nose was all bloody and the blow had to have given him a concussion.
"You react well, but that won't beat me" Ikkaku said "why don't you use that oversized hunk of metal you call a sword?"
"I didn't come here to fight underlings, I refuse to kill anyone in these senseless challenges, so until I fight Kenpachi my sword will remain sheathed" Torin said "I shall beat you without it"
Ikkaku's expression soured "We'll see about that" he said as he slammed the hilt of his sword into his sheath "extend! Hozukimaru!"
A gust of wind obscured the weapon and sheath, then revealed it had now turned into a spear, a red tassel on the end and a curved blade for a point.
Ikkaku charged again, thrusting with his spear repeatedly. Torin batted away the strikes, easily reading the attacks. The spear had range, but it's size made it predictable and easy to redirect.
Ikkaku spun the spear over his head and slashed across, then brought around the back end to jab at Torin. Torin easily avoided both blows, and ikkaku stepped back and continued to spin the weapon, moving into an upward diagonal slash, but he had backed out of range, so Torin expected it was just to keep him at bay.
Torin relaxed for a split second, and then Ikkaku spoke "split apart!"
The spear that had been so easy to read before now did something completely unexpected. The shaft split into three parts connected by a chain, as it split the spear end shot out at Torin, rapidly crossing the slight distance between the two men and striking for Torin's head.
Torin moved his head to the side, but he felt the blade graze him, a single drop of blood flew from the wound and splattered on the ground.
Ikkaku drew back the blade and began to spin it by the chain, preparing his next attack. "You thought it was a spear right?" ikkaku said "but in reality my zanpakto is a 3 part pole!"
Torin put a hand to his cheek "you cut me" he said in surprise "a 3rd seat striking me, incredible"
"That was a warning shot, next one will kill you" Ikkaku said, confidence bolstered by his success.
Torin's composure returned immediately "don't get ahead of yourself" he said
Ikkaku threw the spear end in an arcing slash that was easily avoided.
"You're very powerful for a 3rd seat" Torin said as he dodged "but…"
Ikkaku followed the slash by throwing the back section at Torin's head for a knockout blow.
Torin caught the attack and threw it aside with great force, causing Ikkaku to be pulled off balance along with his weapon. Torin vanished and reappeared inches away from Ikkaku. "You're still only a 3rd seat" he finished as he grabbed Ikkaku's face and slammed him into the ground with so much force the wooden floor shattered.
Torin stood up "well fought, Ikkaku Madarame" he said as he began to walk away
A whistle of air alerted Torin to an attack moments later, reaching over his back he grabbed the hilt of his sword and shifted it, then drew the blade out a few inches to block the spearhead of Ikkaku's weapon. The blades clashed with a metallic clang, then the spear dropped to the floor, and Ikkaku collapsed once more.
"You made me use my sword after all" Torin said with respect "if only for an instant."
Torin sheathed his sword again and began to walk away "your captain should be proud to have someone like you serving him" he called back, then he was gone.

Eight Thoughts About Nowadays
I.
I have forgotten how to write
Therefore I have forgotten how to exist.
II.
Life keeps tripping me every turn of the way
And I keep slipping in these ice-covered roads
III.
My hometown is screaming during the night
But I put on my headphones and try to sleep
IV.
People insist we don't care
And the moment we show them we do
They then try to discredit us
V.
My name means nothing to the world
VI.
Weeks go by and yet I still stand still
Waiting for autumn to turn into winter
VII.
The cold seep into my bones
And make me even more fragile than I already am
(My heart is frozen and I shiver)
VIII.
"Make me a poem" they say
I can't anymore

Life and Other Choices
When you talk to people on the train they all seem to tell you they're going home. Tonight on the number fifty-nine train to New Orleans I am not one of those people. I am leaving home. And I swear that someday I will never leave home without her again, but until that day I will spend my nights on the train explaining to people exactly why I can't sleep. And it's because I'm just that tired of leaving.

(birth.)
i walk home, crisp shoelaces, bloodied nose
middle of autumn, frothing at the mouth
kids took summer skin too far, brought on apocalypse
i tell myself it will be over soon, wintertime freckles
will be here
incensed
(childhood.)
stove milk and delicate murmurs
the technicolor alphabet teaches itself
purple bowls with animal faces
hospital bracelets around tiny wrists
won’t come loose
mama
(adolescence.)
the clouds are gasoline, wisps of gin, addicted
there is vomit on the floor, new candy sores
sky is burning, orange with hungry flame, vying
i don’t know who to talk to, crying
let me go
alive
