Ikkaku had his sword slung over his shoulder and trekked out the edge of the market. Hey, he hadn't had a good fight in a long time (meaning, more than a week) and even if this was just a practice match-- well, he probably wouldn't be releasing Hoozukimaru's shikai, to keep it strictly a sword fight, but hell. It'd be fun. And he was pretty worked up after having to deal with that bratty, mouthy kid--

Well. Probably best not to think about it. Whoever this was (shit, he didn't even get the other... person's... name) seemed confident, and that was enough for him.

"Hey." Well, this was probably him-- sword, and working on the boundaries. Ikkaku pitched in, and helped scratch out the rest of the circle.

Souji's eyes widdened just a tad when he saw the man he was going to fight. he was bigger then him, and looked stronger. No matter, he was going to do his best to make this worthwhile regardless. Once the circle was finished Souji pulled his weapon free, the long katana looking a little oversized for his frame. He wasn't small for his age by far, but he didn't have the others bulk, and the weapon looked built for someone much taller. The scabbard was tossed carefully aside as Souji lazily cracked his neck. Once the weapon was in both hands he smiled.

"Hey... Name's Souji Seta." Was all he said. That was all he really felt was needed.

"Madarame Ikkaku." He liked this kid. Real polite; introduces himself when he starts a fight. Yeah. He could deal with this. Ikkaku dropped to balance on the balls of his feet, then straightened back up, unsheathing Hoozukimaru as he stepped into the ring. No reiatsu; he was pretty sure Souji could do stuff besides fight with a sword, and wouldn't use them for this fight.

Hell, maybe some other time.

Ikkaku tightened his grip on Hoozukimaru, sword and scabbard, and slipped into a defensive stance. "Come at me first."

He noticed that Ikkaku used both sword and scabbard to fight and recorded that little fact away. It meant he would have to be more careful. Swinging away wildly would just get him thrashed. Not to mention locking swords would end it... if Ikkaku was as strong as he looked he could just back him out of the ring like a sumo wrestler.

So Souji would have to get creative.

"If that's how you want it." He replied, running forward like a dart, body low and swing up wards when he reached Ikkaku, butting a little force behind it.
