Fefnir dropped his right foot back and behind him to try to avoid Yuki's uppercut, and just barely succeeded with the help of his Ocular Shukuchi. He could feel the all-to-familiar warmth emanating from the gauntlet as it passed withing inches of his face. This is exactly what I wanted to avoid.... Fefnir thought, She has the advantage with this form since she can use two hands..... Fefnir quickly pulled his sword as hard as he could, managing to wrench it away from Yuki's grip, a shower of sparks accompanying the movement as the blade slid down and away from her, in front of Fefnir's now-turned body, and redirected the momentum into a strike at Yuki's exposed forearm, the one she used to make her upward attack. "Haaah!" He cried as he swung, putting as much force as he could into the swing.

Without even thinking Yuki pulled her hand down, barely in time to avoid getting her arm sliced off. Fefnir's blade hit the gauntlet, making another hiss and another shower of sparks. She twisted her arm and pressed down on his blade, forcing it downwards so she could move in for another strike with her free hand. She swung it around and upwards, aiming to take a chunk out of Fefnir's shoulder. It was another classic move she was oh so proud of using.
"Better think of something quick. Your at a disadvantage, again"
She said, an evil glint in her eye. She knew that duel wielding put her on the upper hand, literally.

Fefnir quickly released his blade and leapt away using Shukuchi, and a dull thud echoed throughout the area as Fefnir landed on a large tree a little ways away from Yuki. Before he could have fallen, he pushed off and launched back at her, arriving just moments after he had left behind her slightly on her right side in a crouching position. Then, he exploded upward toward her, intending to strike just under her shoulder and catch her off-guard.

Even the best human reaction time couldn't keep up with Fefnir as fast as he was moving. She didn't bother tracking him, but instead hit the deck and huddled close to Fefnir's abandoned weapon. There was no way in hell she was going to let him have it back. He nicked her shoulder as she fell to the ground, and she felt a bruise already welling up from the impact. With an angry snarl, she whipped out both hands to slice at his precious legs, and rip them apart.
"Never, drop, your, weapon."
She chastised.

""AAAUGH!!" Fefnir yelled as Yuki's gauntlet pierced his calve. He panted heavily as the burning fingers of the gauntlet sealed off their entry point. The burning didn't bother Fefnir so much, since he was in the habit of using his own fiery blade to seal his cuts, but the constant presence of the offending metal was more than just painful: it was almost excruciating. Fefnir forced himself to give her a defiant look, and and struggled to say the words, "Y... You just dropped your own not five minutes ago!" Then, he Brought his right arm back as far as he could, his fist shaking with the effort, and brought it down as hard as he could at Yuki's face.

Yuki raised up her free hand to block Fefnir's fist, she was a little too late and wound up scratching his fingers as he punched her in the face. With a little 'umph' of pain she turned back to him with a grin. He had a point, she had let go of her weapon only a few minutes ago. She dug her claws in and pulled back, she pushed on his other knee with her free hand, in hopes of knocking him on his a**.
"That I did, but I didn't run away from my weapon and go unarmed."
She said, digging her claws in even more. She was just waiting for him to cry for mercy and end the fight.

Fefnir cried out in pain again as his arm was pierced by Yuki's other hand. "Son of a..." He exclaimed through clenched teeth, his eyes watering from the pain he was in. However, like the rest of him, Fefnir's tears were red like blood. Another yell of pain escaped his lips as he forced his eyes open. The whole world was a red blur until he blinked the tears out of them, and as soon as he could see at all, he reached his free hand toward the hilt of his zanpokuto, barely managing to grab it as Yuki began to force him down. He lifted it away as fast as he could and swung the tip outward so that he could hit Yuki's shoulder as he pulled Kaji away.

Yuki was nicked by the tip of Fefnir's blade as he fell down. Thankfully the cut was light, and she wasn't wearing her captain's cloak today, so there was no clothing on her shoulder to burn. She yanked her claws out of his calf, violently, leaving gashes where the claws had been buried in his leg. He wouldn't bleed to death, but he wasn't going anywhere fast. Quickly she lept to sit on Fefnir's stomach and pin him down. She reached out to grab his sword wrist as she did, the heat of her shikai would burn to the touch, and if he had any sence he would let go.

Fefnir hit the ground hard, his head bouncing like a basketball that didn't have enough air in it on contact with what seemed to be a root or rock. The point wasn't what it was, but that it was hard, and it knocked Fefnir out for a moment. A moment was all Yuki needed, however, and she was on top of him in a moment, and a dull pain erupted around his right hand. Yuki, it seemed, had pinned his arm, and it was burning, badly. Again, however, he had a great deal of resistance to burning, and the pain was nothing he couldn't take. He clenched Kaji tightly in his hand as he gasped for the breath Yuki was trying to deny him. Though it took him a moment, he regained his resolve quickly enough to try and launch a counterattack. Fefnir used his uninjured left leg to hook Yuki around the waist on the opposite side using his ankle. As soon as it was near it's position, Fefnir used his well developed leg to it's fullest by trying to drag her off of him with it.

With anger at him being so stubborn, Yuki used the thumb claw to dig into his wrist and make him let go of his zanpacto again. She barely noticed in time as Fefnir's insanely flexable leg came around to hook her waist. She made sure he was going to regret doing something so stupid, using her free hand she dug the claws into his calf and dragged them across leaving huge gashes up and down his calf. As she fell backwards she held fast to his wrist, probably breaking it.
"Give up already! You need to get to 4th before you lose the use of your legs."
She told him, when she hit the ground. She was more braced for it, because she saw it coming, unlike poor Fefnir.

Fefnir gasped as his vision blurred. The whole world was going in and out of focus. "But I wanted so badly to show you what my bankai looks like...." Fefnir said weakly, more crimson tears spilling from his eyes as he was almost blinded by a wave of pain. "I guess you'll always be better than me, captain..." Fefnir finally let his tense body relax, but as soon as he did, blood gushed forth from the gashes in his legs; he had twisted the muscles just far enough to break the crusting of instant scabs Yuki's shikai had left on it. "Why? Why am I not good enough?" Fefnir cried, more to himself now than Yuki, "I've always tried so hard, but I'm never good enough! I'm just so useless...." Fefnir tried with all his might to sit up, but to no avail. It seemed he had no more energy in him to move, even to save himself.

With a sigh Yuki was getting ready to slap him for being so emotional. If he wanted to show her bankai, he should have shown it to her when she went shikai. When he knew that he was at a dissadvantage. But she stood up, realizing that he was too tired to walk properly. With great care she sat up and used her shikai to burn his wounds shut again. He would heal just fine. The cuts where deep, but they could heal on their own. She scooted up towards his head and nudged at his head, in an attempt to wake him up.
"Fefnir... Your just inexperienced... I bet you haven't fought someone stronger than you since the day you stopped being my Lieutenant. "
She told him with some disdain, as if he had abandoned her and been stupid for doing such a thing.

Fefnir winced as Yuki dragged her claw over the cuts in his leg. "I... I guess that's true..." he said quietly, "But it's so strange to be put in the same class as people like you, and Kuro, and Drift, and Iu, and Daven-sama, and all of the other captains... I'm nowhere near as good as I should be in this position! Why would I be promoted if I'm this inexperienced?" Fefnir's cheeks were covered with the trails of blood red drops, and new ones were forming as he spoke. What's wrong with me? Fefnir thought, I never open up like this to anyone... Why now? Why do I have such doubts now, of all times?

Yuki could have slapped him for being so dramatic and so stupid. He acted like once you where promoted, poof you suddenly became this all powerful deity who was simply amazing with no peers except those who also got the magical promotion. She didn't know what kind of fantacy he lived in, but it was about time he grew up and accepted the fact that they where all only human.
"So what? You think just because you got promoted a magical fairy came down and made you as powerful as Daven? NO! You know I had to fight tooth and nail for my position, I had to kick the holy s**t out of everyone that stood in my path, and you think just because you where voted to the top your suddenly all powerful?.... I never knew you to be so cocky."
She swore, getting angrier by the second at Fefnir's oblivious-ness and stupidity about the real world. She thought she had taught him better, that he had learned something more than just how to fight wile he was her VC.

Fefnir raised his head just enough to look Yuki straight in the eyes, then said, "I never said I was as fast as you, or as strong as Kuro, or as skilled as Daven, but you all are everything I ever aspired to be! Do you know how horrible it is to be so close, and yet so far away from the level you've wanted to be at for so long? Every day I strive to improve myself so that you can truly call me an equal, but for the longest time, I've never been able to do anything about this horrible, stifling, crushing weakness!" Fefnir sighed, then quietly continued, "You know what my best trait is? I can run away faster than anyone else. That's the only thing I can do. If I run across any enemy it's vital to defeat, I can go get someone better than me to take it out. You have your speed and unorthodox tactics. Kuro has his raw power. Iu has his speed and strength. Drift is extremely skilled in battle. Nagiko can use any kido he wants. Bullene can kill most enemies wit his bare hands. Rhia can strike at the enemy's pressure points. Maxi can use his technology. Tagg can use her Arcane Mass. Onalim can heal all of the others. Daven... Daven can do basically anything. What can I do? I run. I ******** run away. I don't think I should magically have power, but I have nothing! I HAVE NOTHING."
