Bullene felt that this was enough. "Alright then." He no longer stood in his fighter stance. "Aizakku, fight Bob. Use some of the basics that I demonstrated." He continued to direct attention at his 6th Seat. "Don't be afraid to attack." His eyes shifted towards Bob. "The same goes to you." Bull shook his head and sighed. "You think you are getting the hang of this..."
Now addressing Rokera and Svetlana, Bullene called out an order. "You two, spar." Bullene turned to Kanda. "Hmm... What to do with you..." Bullene sighed. "Just watch them... See if you can learn something." He turned back to address the rest of the Squad. "I have things to do. I will be back soon." And with those last words, he left, shunpoing away. Squad 7 Captain Bullene Katsurou

Bullene-taicho's words hardly reached Rokera. The sound managed to vibrate it's way through his trance like state, piercing the black veil of chaotic silence that was his mind.
"You two, spar."
With that, the blackness faded away. Light crept back into his eyes, releasing him from the world inside his head. Rokera groaned. His muscles had stiffened from the sudden break in his exercises. His numb hands massaged the stiff muscle in an attempt to loosen them. While he loosened up, he thought, Bullene-taicho must mean Svetlana. Pale eyes cast their gaze on the whip-like figure of the blond fighter before him. Scratch that, he could call her much more like a snake. Snake Kung Fu. He chided himself for his carelessness. A sparring match to determine how much he had learned was common sense.
Rokera's muscles had been sufficiently loosened. The blood was pumping through them again, hot and steady. With a grunt, Rokera stood, his robes dusty from the sandy field he had meditated and practiced on. Meticulously, he straightened his robe, fixed his belt, quickly trying to look slightly clean. Rokera had an odd little thing about being prepared for sparring matches.
He walked, slowly and carefully, across the field towards Svetlana. He jerked an awkward little wave, a smile of the same odd variety crossing his face. Despite his sudden goofiness, he inwardly told himself that he always pulled stupid things like that when he was nervous.
Of course, he should be nervous. His opponent was both his superior and a beautiful woman. Rokera always had that problem; he really wasn't that interested in women, but his male brain and hormones caused him to be a little nervous. Looking down at himself, he hoped he wasn't shaking from exhaustion (or his nerves). He didn't want to appear weak, after all.
With that greeting, he took off his zanpakuto, and crouched, sheath and all, and set it gently on the ground, in a small patch of grass. He felt it reach back to him, almost as if it missed his touch. Sorry, my friend. He gazed back to the plain sword. I'm afraid this battle is something I must fight with my own hands.
Rokera stood up from his crouch, resuming his walk towards Svetlana. Cracking his knuckles, he settled into a fighting horse stance a good 20 feet from her. As of now, he attempted to hide all of his feelings. Mostly because he didn't want to appear weak, and a little bit because throwing emotions at this cold shinigami he was facing was similar to singing to a rock; essentially pointless.

Aizakku breathed a sigh of relief, happy that Katsurou Taichou was finished with him. Shunpo was definitely something Aizakku wanted to learn some day. He let himself relax a little as the Captain explained what he wanted to happen. Aizakku was to spar with Bob, Aizakku remembered him as the one who arrived just a moment before himself earlier with the invasion crisis. He almost missed the rest of what the Captain said, which seemed a little odd for him. 'Don't be afraid to attack,' the last time Aizakku attacked, his captain turned into a jerk. Aizakku still respected him, but he was still hating him for it. It would die down eventually, he was sure.
Aizakku turned to face Bob then, bowing to him. "Hello sir." Aizakku said as his mind raced. "What style was he just studying? I think I remember..." Aizakku thought.

Bob smiled as he dropped the bricks sighing as he wiped the sweat from his brow, "Well at least I get a break from that horrible training. Hmmm I'll also get to practice not being so robotic I guess" He though while rolling up the scroll tucking it away in his pocket, "Hello, I presume your my opponent?" He said as he walked over and picked up his zanpakuto before reattaching it to his waist, "I suppose we should begin" He stated, a loud cracking sound was heard from his shoulders as he rolled them periodically loosening up his muscles so he'd be limber for the battle.
Bob then rushed forward, he smiled while pumping reiatsu into his feet allowing his speed to greatly increase. His movements became erratic, going in an odd z pattern so that he couldn't be hit by a kidou. Once the distance closed to 5 feet he pushed off the ground tucking his legs in and throwing his head forward allowing him to front flip over Aizakku. He brought his legs out and kept the muscles loose so that when he landed he instantly crouched down, then swept his left leg counter clock wise attempting to knock Aizakku off his feet. Reiatsu was already building in his arms so that even if his attack missed he'd have a back up.

Aizakku was making a mental note on where his own zanpakuto was, still were it ended up after the Captain preformed some more unsavory actions with it. He rolled his shoulders quickly and stretched a little, it felt good honestly. "Yes, I am..." Aizakku replied quickly.
He was a little surprised when Bob attacked so suddenly. But that didn't mean Aizakku hadn't had something in mind. The very moment Bob leapt into the air Aizakku ran forward and under him, even had it been some sort of flying kick Aizakku would have made it anyway. Aizakku spun around when he felt it was a safe distance. About three feet away, he used his momentum to carry himself a little farther away before sprinting towards Bob, ready for a counter strike. Aizakku stopped short at about a foot and a half, hands in position to use a counter-hold. He was hoping that because he had shot forward Bob would have made an attack to stop him head-on, Aizakku's plan being to reverse it.

As Aizakku rushed forward Bob smiled, he retracted his left leg and then focussed the reiatsu he had built up down to his legs so that when he kicked out he released the reiatsu causing a large wave of dirt and gravel to kick up and hopefully temporarily blind Aizakku or at least confuse him for a second.
As soon as the plume of dust came up from the gound, Both of Bob feet came together he built up reiatsu into his legs once more and released it as he pushed off the ground allowing him to jump into the air, as he floated over top he extended his left hand sighing as the open palm pointed to where Aizakku would be if he allowed the cloud of smoke to engulf him. "Bakudo #9. Geki" He muttered under his breathe as a red flash erupted out of his left hand which would hopefully paralyze Aizakku if he had been caught off guard by the dirt

"There's a build up... He strengthening himself with reiatsu..." Aizakku thought for a moment before Bob reacted. His reaction only served to support his theory. Aizakku had been ready for something to fly at him though, though he had been expecting a limb or something of the sort. "Roll, now." Aizakku thought. He had to turn it around some how though, so he would turn his evasion into an attack. Not that it would be effective now that both combatants were moving.
Aizakku rolled forward, pushing off with his hands to drop kick the area Bob had been before he jumped. Aizakku was sure to keep his eyes closed so that no dirt got in them. That was one disadvantage he really didn't need.
Obviously finding that Bob wasn't there, he was sure to change positions again. He moved to his right, feeling another build up and release of reiatsu. "He's using KidÅ? That cheater." Aizakku had thought that the Captain would probably want them to focus on hand to hand combat, rather than bringing kidÅ into it. "Wanna play like that... Fine." Aizakku thought as he rushed into the middle of the dust cloud. "HadÅ number one, ShÅ." Aizakku muttered under his breath, aiming in random spots around him, he used small amounts of reiatsu not only to conserve it but to keep his spells from wandering into the other squad members.

Bob smiled as he was pushed up, "Even better" He said as he continued to float up allowing the kidou that Aizakku had used to do most of the work, "Let's see if I reached 200 feet I should be able to reach max velocity if I push off" He thought as his mind began to race trying to figure out various trajectory options in cause Aizakku dodged. His mind continued to race trying to figure out how to keep Aizakku in one place, no matter how hard he thought his mind drew up a black, he didn't want to use more kidou considering how that probably wasn't what his captain was looking for, "Screw it... I'll wing this" He concluded as his attack was about to commence.
Bob thew both arms forward dipping his head allowing him to rotate so that he was head first with Aizakku. "Here goes" Bob muttered as he focussed reiatsu into his feet so that he could solidify the air particles beneath his feet. He then pushed off as he rushed down from about 150 feet up watching cautiously so that hopefully something would come to his mind before he reached the ground.

"Alright, start backin' it down. Gotta keep moving, can't do that if you're still throwing energy you tard..." Aizakku thought to himself. Afterward, the boy ran forward again and rolled outside the now dissipating dust cloud, feeling another pulse of reiatsu he smiled. "Good, he's doing something." Aizakku would have to wait for the dust to clear before he could do anything else. So, he hopped backwards a few paces and prepared himself to resist any incoming kidÅ, he didn't know that Bob was avoiding them now. Besides, he was far enough away to not be hit by anything unexpected or desperate, he would have more than enough time to react.
"Don't speak, he doesn't know where I am yet. When the dust clears, I'll see what way he's looking and go from there. I'm not that bad a fighter." Aizakku thought, actually starting to enjoy himself a little.

((This is beginning to agitate me. I'd really like to continue this roleplay, but it feels as if it's dead. Has K19 posted in a while anywhere in the guild?))
Rokera was frozen in time, it seemed. Svetlana hadn't even acknowledged the fact that she was to be his sparring partner, as Bull-taicho had ordered. His mouth opened, about to speak again, but he decided against it. Let her come at her own pace, he thought to himself. It's just more time to rest yourself anyways.
Rokera kneeled on the hard ground, giving his legs a break from the strain put upon them minutes ago. Sweat trailed down his face and neck, his body glistening with the natural coolant. His breathing slowed, as he began exercises to refresh and stabilize his body. Svetlana was giving him time to prepare, so he was utilizing it.

Kyground "Alright, start backin' it down. Gotta keep moving, can't do that if you're still throwing energy you tard..." Aizakku thought to himself.

"Don't speak, he doesn't know where I am yet. When the dust clears, I'll see what way he's looking and go from there. I'm not that bad a fighter." Aizakku thought, actually starting to enjoy himself a little.
((Finally back))
"Huh.... He isn't running, this is unexpected. If he's not avoiding the cloud he has to have some sort of trap" He thought as reaitsu focussed into his feet slowing him down. He came to a halt at the top of the dust cloud, he released the reiatsu and as he landed continued going down for about 3 feet so that he didn't make a sound when he landed.
"There he is" Bob concluded as he found himself standing 10 feet in front of Aizakku. He quickly entered his bagua stance which consisted of his feet shoulder length apart his left about two feet in front of his right, his spin was turned so that he could stand with both his hip and chest facing Aizakkui. His roughly 120 degrees with his front foot on it's heel and his right on the ball of his foot. His left arm protruded out slightly bent so that his open palm was even with his head. his right arm tucked and bent so that it arched against his chest resting underneath his left.

(Sorry Solitude, I don't really check most of the guild outside of this little area.)
Aizakku followed Bob's descent with his eyes, "So that's where he was... How did he even get so high up... Oh, right... I used Sho." Aizakku thought as the dust finally cleared enough for him to see Bob standing there looking at him. He was obviously in a defensive stance, something Aizakku didn't like. He wanted Aizakku to attack, and he still wasn't entirely comfortable having to be the one to cover the distance.
Aizakku inhaled deeply for a moment, glaring down at Bob. "Alright, he's a little more experienced, but I don't think he's quite as cruel as the Captain. Let's Go!" Aizakku thought to himself as he shot forward, keeping his body low. "Feinting again would be useless, straight shot, but leave an out." Aizakku kept thinking.
As he reached his opponent, Aizakku doubled up and rolled once on the ground, still headed towards Bob; but his hands were ready to spring and help guide and launch Aizakku forward with a drop kick with tremendous momentum behind it. Aizakku was prepared with a few follow throughs and a contingency plan in case the movement failed on an epic proportion. He hadn't been entirely sure of Bob's stance anyway, but if he dodged, the momentum would carry Aizakku away and past him.

"What's he gonna do? Hmmm, just remember fluid and loose. I can easily out maneuver whatever his attack his. Hopefully it will be enough, maybe I'll be able to end it here" He concluded as he remained in his stance. He let out a sigh calming himself and loosening his muscles as Aizakku shot forward.
Bob watched analyzing his movements as he remained in his stance waiting for the attack to commence. He smiled as he saw his opponent roll and launch up with a drop kick heading straight for His gut. "Here it comes, here it comes, get ready" Bob thought as adrenaline rushed to his brain causing everything to slow, Bob's right foot rotated on the ball tightly as his back arched, as his spin began his left arm which protruded out came down connecting with the ankle of Aizakku causing his attack to now be pointed 90 degrees to the right. Bob's spun continued as he was now behind Aizakku instinctively his left arm came up and reached out grabbing the collar of Aizakku's uniform, he tugged down with all his might hopefully causing Aizakku to fall back and hit the back of his head on the ground with considerable force. Bob waited to see if his counter was successful.

(( Sorry to break the flow, but Bob, wouldn't grabbing and tugging at someone's collar be considered as somewhat of an auto-hit? Don't mind me, just getting a grasp (no pun intended) of to what extent this guild classes auto-hitting. ))

((Grabs as long as pain doesn't occur isn't an auto hit just because you could simply type: "As he pulls the collar rips and he continues to fly by" or at least that's what I'd do ))
