Welcome to Gaia! ::

Takeru knew that Kasen had let him cut him, the Third seat would have no problem blocking an attack like that. I guess he's thinking if he lets me cut him I will stop. Takeru prepared himself for another attack, but then the pain started getting worse from his burns. He tried not to show any signs of pain, but then he dropped to one knee. Takeru removed the zanpaktou from his mouth and stabbed it into the ground if front of him. He had a small grin on his face, "So this is the power of the soon to be Lieutenant. I can't wait to have that kind of strength, so that I can protect this squad, the sereitei, and the soul society just as my father did." Takeru quickly got up and pulled the zanpaktou out of the ground, placing it back in his mouth as he ran at Kasen. He jumped into the air and slashed down toward Kasen's neck with the zanpaktou in his mouth, at the same time he attempted to stabbed Kasen in his injured shoulder with the zanpaktou in right hand. But with his left hand he pointed his index finger at Kasen's chest and chanted, "Hadou Four, Byakuri" A concentrated bolt of white lightning shot out of Takeru's finger at almost point blank range.

Takeru dropped to his knees, unable to move from all the binding kidou placed upon him. He dropped the zanpaktou in his mouth as he awaited to be released. "With all due respect Kasen, u never said I had to hit you once. You just said battle." Takeru's vision began to blur from the bloodloss and massive pain from the burns on his body. I only barely scratched him, and he almost killed me. I have a lot to live up to, but I'm willing to do anything to get the same strength as Kasen and my father..... and one day surpass them. Takeru thought to himself as he lost consciousness, falling to the ground.

Maikeru was bored, and frankly, running in circles wasn't helping. Then a thought occured, a very...entertaining thought, one which should prove to provide much excitement!

Maikeru flopped to his back with seemingly no preparation as if he had been tripped. He squirmed for a moment before pulling out some daggers. As he lay spread eagle(mostly) in the dirt he threw a knife as far as he could straight into the sky, with the way they were weighted it would come down at exactly the same trajectory it had gone up.

Now he just had to look for... Aha! He threw another dagger up just as before and caught the other right before it nicked his throat.

Maikeru smiled, entertainment for hours!

Maikeru had noticed her, luckily, years of stealthy work as a cat burgler had taught him to run quickly, and quietly. It made for great jokes.

Without changing the sound or pace of his stride in anyway, he sped towards the armored woman and jumped, and I mean JUMPED.

He spun over her head, flipping and spinning. As he passed over her his body was inverted and reversed so he faced her upside down as he passed. Before the revolution finished and he came to the ground he flashed a smile and waved.

Maikeru landed a couple yards away and looked over his shoulder, "Howdy."

Maikeru had one fault, although he tended to consider it a gift, he almost never failed to take something lightly. Next to nothing was worth being serious to him.

Maikeru crossed his eyes comically staring at the sword point. "My name is Moyashi Maikeru, and your's milady?"
Maikeru jolted forward, knocking the sword up, hitting it on the flat of the blade with his palm while stepping forward.

Once inside the reach of the broad blade, and into relative safety considering his own set of skills, he sketched a courtly bow, peering up at her through his bangs.

((and if you intended the blade being held vertically with the sharp edges facing up and down then respond as if I had knocked it to the side instead.))

"Milady you could try, but you would fail. I would own you better and certainly more legally than I own most of my personal possesions. You may have a few tricks. But no matter how good you are. How many talents and skills you were seemingly born with? Once you come into Squad Ten. It's a whole nother playground." Somehow Maikeru managed to say all of that with a straight face. He really had no idea how, he'd never been a good actor.

He took a breath prepared to continue the speech and collapsed to the ground in laughter. After he caught his breath laying on the ground, one knee bent and an arm flung over his eyes to keep out the sun he said breathlessly "Woo! Sorry bout that. Without my Shikai I might have a time with you in that armor, we could have a go if you like? It's high time I escorted somebody to the med-bay 'stead of the other way around." he prepositioned cheerfully.

Maikeru looked at her with wide eyes."For what? OH! OH! Oh right. The fight. Okay cool. One sec."

Maikeru stood up, dusted off his clothing, swallowed something he hadn't realized he'd been chewing and walked a few paces away before turning back to her. This happened during the flashes of miniaturized lightning so he failed to notice.

"Okay, I'm ready," he smiled. "Go ahead."

Maikeru's smile dropped. "You know, my mom always said never to draw a knife, no matter how big or small unless you were going to cut something with it, you've been breaking that rule alot. She's gonna be mad at you..." he admonished, fists on hips in a classic peter pan pose.
