Oooh... The Captain's raised an eyebrow and a grin appeared on his face. A stance for fast drawing and cutting? This might prove to be interesting indeed! The grin turned into a cozy smile as he closed his left eye, smiling with his whole face. - A genuine "Duchenne smile".
As he smiled at Yuki, Mock broke his stance and was now in upright posture once more. Yukai-kun, please don't be afraid to be the first one to strike. I want to witness what you can do.
Fear not. The Shinigmai paused to smoke from the kiseru. I'm ready. He apparently kept his guard down.
(("Yukai" means "happy", and "Yuki" can be written as "happiness". Hence, Yukai-kun.))

Knowing he wouldn't take his guard down so easily, Yuki drew her Zanpakutou and made her first upward vertical swing with the same movement. However it took an extra forth of a second since she had had no practice with her blade. She then fallowed up by keeping her low sense of gravity and attacked with a diagonal slash at MockaDash's back aiming to bring her blade from his left shoulder to his right hip.

Mock seemed to waver as he took a few short steps back, as the initial slash of Yuki's blade was coming at him. It was enough to keep him from being cut by it. Still hanging on to his smile and pipe, the Captain joyfully commented Not bad, not bad. But what can you... Oh! He stopped mid-sentence, as the young woman swiftly followed the first with a second attack.
This time, the Captain rose his left hand and grabbed Yuki's own hand with it, halting the sword's movement before it even came close to Mock's shoulder. Immediately as he did it, he aimed to punch the Shinigami in the face with his right fist, while still holding on to her hand and to the handle of the weapon being held by it.
Exhaling the tobacco smoke towards Yuki's face, the smile on the Captain's face had turned into a smirk. I'm intrigued. What else can you do?

With her right hand stopped and a punch aimed at her face, Yuki instinctively went to her left side and pulled the sheath out of her obi in a slash motion as if attacking with a sword facing down. The vertical strike with the sheath was intended to go in the path of the punch, and since it was only the sheath the weight didn't throw off her reaction time. In doing this Yuki hoped to divert the force of the punch knowing she could not block it.
Once the slash was complete she aimed her own strike at Mock's head.

(( The strike was made with the sheath right? ))
Seeing Yuki reaching for the saya of her blade, Mock unclenched his right hand and used it to grab the sheath as it came towards it, instead of trying to punch her. Nor did his punch strike Yuki's face - since Mock aborted it - or her strike hit him - since he was holding the saya.
Infusing his arm muscles with some - little - reiatsu to grant them extra strength, the Captain shove them to the side of his body, thus pulling Yuki's own body close to his - providing she wouldn't let go of both the saya and the katana.
A mere few centimeters away from each others face, he said to her. Good reaction time and reflexes. Now for something more difficult. Having said this, he let go of her and leaped backwards. While still in the air, he reached for his katana, and as soon as his feet touched the ground he leaped forward again. Drawing the blade in midair, while charging at Yuki and keeping his head down, Mock aimed a slash at her lower torso - a clean crescent cut just above the waist.

Seeing his most likely target was her waist area Yuki side stepped to the right replacing the saya in her obi but keeping it high enough so part of the saya was against her abdomen. At the same moment she sliced down at the spot he should land with her right arm. Lifting the blade with only one arm but bringing it down with both.
Yuki jumped back and to the right as soon as her counter attack was finished.

(( Your combat descriptions are quite accurate, but you should try to improve the pictorial ones. Describe little details. ))
The Captain smirked once more behind the tobacco smoke coming out of his nostrils. While drawing an arch in the air with his right hand, Mock reached inside his kimono with his left. The initial attack was dodged and a sudden counterattack followed, performed by Yuki. With his left hand he retrieved his wakizashi and used it to parry her sword, raising his arm and dagger along with it.
Now armed with his daishou pair, Mock placed his right foot ahead and used it to force his body into stopping and turned to face his opponent. Twisting his right wrist he brought his right arm upwards also, intending to pierce and slice through her viscera with the katana. The blade would pierce through her stomach and follow through with its movement, until coming out slicing though her left shoulder.

Sweat rolled down her face, as Yuki realized if something didn't change soon she'd lose. Retaking her Shiranui-ryu Iai stance, Yuki slowly feed reiatsu into her legs while shifting her weight to her extended left leg. Knowing of only one technique that she could strike with her full power with, she prepared to use the reverse dou. This was the one technique she'd not only used a real blade to master but an iron blade.((Note iron Katana's are much heavier than normal ones)) Slowly bending her left knee Yuki prepared herself. Before quickly straightening her knee towards her Captain in an attack that appeared to be a thrust. However at the last second Yuki extended the ball of her right foot slightly to the left turning the thrust momentum into momentum for the reverse dou. The strike was aimed for just below Mock's rib cage and designed to cut a man in half.

Alder walked casually, and almost lazily as he entered the training grounds of the Thirteenth Division. Looking straight ahead, he noted two Shinigami fighting about ten yards from him. A blue haired, rather muscular man, and another being a female, who seemed to be on the losing end of the battle. "Ah, it looks like we have some fine swordplay going on." Alder voiced aloud as he unsheathed his rapier. White sparks flew from the sheath when he drew the rapier, making an odd, yet intimidating noise, similar to that of the average chainsaw. "May I join in this bout?" He asked politely.

(( Yuki, you didn't make it clear how you dodged my attack. My slash would kill you if you hadn't dodge it, and it's always necessary to explain how you do it, so to not let the other RPer in doubt. I'll RP it for you.))
As she prepared to take a Shiranui-ryu stance, while adjusting her weight and balance, she was able to dodge Mock's attack with the katana. Mock still had it raised above both their heads, but the wakizashi had now been freed, and Mock used it to block Yuki's lunge, driving his left arm at the incoming blade. After parrying Yuki's attack, he immediately brought his right hand down, and with it, his katana. The Zanpakutou was about to slice Yuki's arm, slightly below the wrist.
((Sorry Alder. Since we are battling, Mock will talk to you on the next post or so. ))

(Alright.)
Alder awaited patiently, as it seemed that the two combatants were so involved, that noticing another there wasn't their concern at the time. He noticed the male's rather unusual tactics, and dismissed them as training regimen.

...Bored beyond belief, Amatsu proceeded into the area known as the 13th Division Training Area. A place where many had, and would achieve greatness. Maybe Amatsu himself one day. As he dropped the cigarette to the ground below, Amatsu noticed a boy standing at invisible sidelines. He watched the small spar between some girl, and Mock. Stepping on the cigarettes ember, Amatsu stood next to the guy; watching the fight as he did. "So, whats going on?" He asked the guy next to him. Amatsu wasn't really sure what was going on with the battle, but he wanted in on it...

((sorry last night since i took to long writing my post i got logged out of my account at forgot the first half of what i wrote sweatdrop ))
Pushing off of the Captain's wakizashi at the last moment and jumping to the left she received a slash on her arm. Luckily the slash had mostly cut only cloth but there was still a nasty cut in the flesh to add to he problem Yuki began to feel fatigue setting in. This was the hardest battle she'd had in a while and the longest with her Zanpakutou. "Well Captain you are by far the best swordsman I've ever fought." With that said Yuki held her blade in both hands stiffening her left arm as she slashed her blade horizontally from her right side aiming at the lower half of Mock's spine

Mock smiled at Yuki, when he heard her compliment. It was the first time that the two were meeting each other, so the girl would not know this, but smiling is something that Mock usually doesn't do very often- not anymore.
Thank you for your kind words, Yukai-kun. But I wouldn't be suited to be your Captain, if I wasn't such a swordsman. You are quite adept yourself. He kept smiling, as tobacco smoke came from his nostrils and Yuki's slash came at him. MockaDash threw his katana in the air and used his right hand to block and grab the incoming sword. Enough of this, Yukai-kun. You've done well. Mock's katana spun in the air, and he returned his wakizashi to its keeping place, inside his kimono. Letting go of Yuki's blade, the Captain caught the katana - still spiraling as it fell - by the tsuka and promptly sheathed it.
Mock had been holding back his Spiritual Pressure in order to enjoy the spar. He was merely using his swordsmanship skills. But now, wanting to quickly bring the fight to an end, he coated his hand with a layer of reishi, thus preventing it to be cut by a Zanpakutou of such low power - when compared to his own.
Giving Yuki a bow as sign of respect, he said This ends now. You've been hurt. I can heal that if you so desire. He raised his head and revealed a smile across his face. It was fun while it lasted though.
Now turning his attention to the two newcomers, the Captain addressed them. Parara-kun, I'm glad you could join us here. And raising his right index finger in the direction of the Shinigami's feet he released a hadou - Byakurai. The White Lightning burst from the tip of his finger with a thundering roar and completely incinerated the cigarette bud on the ground, next to Amatsu. But please, don't ever throw those things to the ground.
Shifting his attention towards Alder, he asked him And who might you be?

Yuki smiled as she bowed to him. "Thank you Captain it was indeed fun and I'd be very please if my arm was not bleeding. Therefore I'd like to take you up on your healing offer." Putting her own Zanpakutou away, Yuki also turned her attention to the two new people. She found it odd that the man who had been smoking was named Parara but she did not speak her thoughts. Instead she simply applied pressure to her wound.
