 The feeling of a hard body to his foot felt almost as good as a cold shower. The sensations that ran through his body like electricity revved his heart and made him pant as if he were exhausted but the large Russia was only begining to endure. "Quick thinker." Laughing breathily with a childish grin Mikhail recovered from the Sho by regaining control of his momentum with a back handspring. Landing in a long spider kung fu stance Mikhail allowed his fists to drop, the brass knuckles kicking up a dust cloud as their landed heavily in the dirt. Picking them up he allowed them to drop by their own will creating two small craters. Rising up into a standing position Mikhail stood proud and statue-esc. Stepping into another basic stance called the riding horse.
Mikhail just stood there for many moments taking in deep relaxing breaths. He was collecting his thoughts, collecting much of his reiatsu into a single location. Then, out of blue skies came a fast motion, nearly blindingly fast. As if backed by a Shunpo Mikhail exploded into a speedy reverse spin kick. The distance between him and Kuma however was far too great for it to land but the magic words seemed to ooze from his mouth, "Hadou #54, Haien!" In a second explosive black purple flames curved from his foot like a tennis ball sliced across the court. Every one of Mikhail's motions had been blurred with speed and the abruptness of them had not helped their clarity. It mattered not however, the Haien was now released and Kuma had enough time to move should he react with pure instinct. If he took a single second to comprehend what was coming at him he'd be engulfed. If he allowed his body to simply react then he'd most likely only become slightly burned. It was all circumstantial.

Kuma laughed at the remark, he wasn't exactly a quick thinker but let his body do the work, his mind just took the credit for it. This worked to his advantage most of the time as he was one of these that had great instincts. He watched as Mikhail moved from stance to stance, it was quite interesting to him. However Kuma was more interested in what the stances lead to, the combat, and he had already seen a nice chunk of that. By now he had regained his strength and breathe after such a strong hit, he cleaned the blood from his mouth, spat out the remainder and prepared himself as Mikhail finished changing into the riding horse stance. Suddenly, out of no where came a kick. Such speed caught Kuma off guard, but his instant reaction was to move as he heard Mikhail begin to speak. 'Had...' he was gone. Sprinting to the left he ran around making a large arc coming back around to reach Mikhail. He wasn't even aware of what Mikhail had done, simply that it was powerful and had good chance of finishing Kuma, he had already moved in for what was known as a superman punch, leaping into the air and slamming his fist forward with an almighty ammount of power. Kuma had tried his best to charge extra reiatsu into his fist, but as he wasn't to experience at it he did not pack that much extra into his punch. Bringing a second in he went for an uppercut to land under the chin of Mikhail as he span into a reverse spinning fist to the right cheek of Mikhail. "You really wanna win eh?" Kuma laughed.

Mikhail scowled. "Its not about who wins but who deals the most damage. I could break every bone in your body and still lose this fight. What would that mean to you?" Countering Kuma's powerhouse punch with his own, head on. The force between the two connecting sent a wave of reiatsu rippling outward from the point of impact. It had been Mikhail's right to Kuma's right, a bad mistake on Kuma's part. "Oh, I should have told you early about Buronzu no Kobushi's Eternal Seal." Smiling partially Mikhail knew he'd have crippled Kuma without him able to realize it as of yet. The second he withdrew his fist from Mikhail's own, he'd feel the blazing hot seal that would have undoubtably been branded into his fist. Caught up in his minor triumph however Mikhail was unable to see the uppercut that know sent him flying backwards like a stunned body. Landing on the flat of his back the blood that filled his mouth and dribbled down his chin would have made him smile however his newly aquire broken lower jaw was not going to permit that.
Rising to his feet the former Lieutenant gagged on the large pool of every accumulating blood. The crimson liquid dripped from his awkwardly posed, dislocated and snapped lower jaw bone. Both Shinigami had made a monumental and combat altering strike hower Mikhail was far more prepared and versed. Holding his left hand up to his lower jaw Mikhail laughed in a gurgled manner. A barely audible "Buraindo Kyuusaisha" could be heard escaping his...formerly...broken jaw. With a skillful hand and memory of Chiyudou Mikhail had fixed and reset his jaw. "I appologise Kuma but I'm not so easy to break." As a former Lieutenant of the Fourth Division Mikhail had worked so often with Chiyudou that it become second nature to him. His very Reiatsu was able to heal himself in the midst of battle without much delay. It was one of his most unique traits and the sole reason why he could endure so much brutality.

Before Mikhail even remarked about his shikai Kuma felt the burning pain move down his fist, through his arm and down his right side, the pain was very intense and had caused Kuma to grit his teeth in order to keep the power within his uppercut. Seeing it connect and send Mikhail back to the ground gave Kuma some relief, after he was unseated and he was stilling showing that he had potential. He noticed the broken jaw and couldn't help but feel happy. The blow definately did its job...but then, as Mikhail raised his arm, it was fixed. 'All that for nothing!' Kuma thought to himself as he decided what he would do next. His strongest ability was gone without using his zanpakto, but he really didn't want to use that just yet, as this fight was more man to man. Moving forward to the freshly healed shinigami Kuma faked a left jab to the head as he rotated his body to drag his leg around and send it towards Mikhails right leg before adding a jump at the very last minute bringing the leg up to the torso, this had both speed and power as it was meant to put Kuma back in the runnings.
"You may be more skilled than me and have more experience, but I hope you are atleast finding this fight interesting" Kuma asked between movements as he shot forward around ten jabs and kicks of average power but fast to a mixture of torso shots and headshots. Moving his left hand to Mikhails right shoulder he thrust himself upward sending his knee violently towards mikhails stomach, this would definately hurt him if it hit.

((Since it was unspecified during our previous pass of blows, which arm is paralyzed? From your current post I'd assume your right.)) The kick made contact with his left side, the impact sending a rippling sensation through his gut and ribcage. Mikhail could feel the bruises form beneath the skin, the blood begining to pool. "Every battle I participate in is well enjoyed." He was half lying. The former him, a naive young boy, once loved fighting. It happened to be his passion in life which was why he had been a former member of the Seventh Division. However as he began to experience things and understand the philosophy and what he was aiming to accomplish he became far too wise to see fighting as anything more than sport, one that he no longer divulged in. With his left side now battered significantly he found it rather uncomfortable to breath but he wasn't out of the game by far.
Grasping the incoming fist in his right hand Mikhail used his exceptional nimbleness to flipped right over the head of Kuma. Landing in a squatted position behind the young Shinigami he rotated his hips, body following close behind, creating a near blindingly fast leg sweep across the whole of Kuma's stance. From here he would do a back hand spring back over the head Kuma. Landing before him, where he had once been standing, Mikhail kicked off the ground and Shunpo'd backwards a good 70 meters where he stood silently. Strangely enough a new air of seriousness had swept over him and he now radiated some kind of mechanical coldness.

Listening to Mikhail he didn't think his heart was in the statement, he knew very little about this man except what he had learnt in this battle, the man caught Kumas attention though, he was a great fighter and interesting aswell. Feeling his fist being captured Kuma was slightly dissapointed as he knew it was an open shot but would have landed alot of damage. Mikhail flipped over Kuma and swung for a leg sweep. Kuma thought this might happen, well atleast that an attack was coming from behind. He moved for a jump at the last second but Mikhail was too fast and clipped the bottom edges of Kumas feet, causing him to go off balance and fall onto the ground. Using his hands to stop his face going into the dirt, he pushed up and got to his feet before dusting himself off. "I told you, you're just to fast for me" He laughed. Noticing Mikhail had suddenly become serious and the distance he had put between the two Kuma didn't trust what was next. He knew that mikhail was very strong and whatever was coming up would show just a little more of that. Kuma stood with his right arm still dropped by his side, paralyzed, blood still dripping slightly from his mouth, but he was still ready for more - just how much more was Mikhail planning to give was the question.
((right arm, his stronger arm))

((I must say this is one of the far better spars I've participated in!)) Reveling in a successful blitzkrieg strike Mikhail centered himself for a moment and took in a deep breath. Bringing his two brass knuckles together he gave them a light tap rendering them back into their sealed form. "I think you've had a good enough taste of my Shikai." Twirling his knife Zanpakuto in a full 360° before returning Buriki Shokunin to its sheath. Walking over to Kuma with his hands raised Mikhail smiled genuinely, "allow me to bring your arm back to normal." Blindly he grasped the muslced limb and gave it a light shake and tug. Letting the limb fall back to its owner's side Mikhail clasped his hands together and gave them a quick clap, charging them almost instantly with powerful healing Reiatsu. "The only way to fix the damage done is to flood the area with healing Reiatsu. There is no designated Chiyudou that can undo the destruction of the nerves. In fact, if not treated within the first 4 hours the limb will be permanately damaged." Placing both hands on Kuma's right arm Mikhail flooded the limb with Reiatsu that tingled and tickled his palms.

Kuma watched as Miikhail sealed his zanpakto and approached. Getting his breath back slightly he smiled and bowed his head. "Thank you, I wouldn't have the first idea of what to do with my arm" He laughed slightly as he tapped on his arm "Couldn't get very far without this thing" Watching as Mikhail went through the healing process, feeling a sudden buzz rushing through his arm and down the right side of his torso Kuma felt slightly strange with it, he had never had so much healing reiatsu through his body at once.
"Thank you again" Kuma said as he flexed his arm and rotated it, moving it around to check it was fine still. "That was quite a spar we had there, I must say you are the first person I have sparred properly with since joining the 7th" Kuma said with a slight blush and putting his hand behind his head in a nervous and slightly embarrassed way. "You are a very good fighter indeed and I was honoured to spar you" He said as he bowed to Mikhail.

Removing his hands from Kuma's arm he smiled. "It was a pleasure." Flicking Kuma's arm rather ferociously he awaited to see the response of the limb. Using his sensory ability he was able to identify a flinch after flicking the arm and smiled. "Looks like its as a good new." Tapping Kuma on the shoulder Mikhail gave a curt nod before spinning on his heels and abruptly shunpo-ing away to wherever his feet would take him. Indeed the battle had been a fun one and a great starter to getting back into the swing of things. He only hoped that many a battles from here on out would be just as fun.
