Beads of sweat poured down his face as he stared hard and firm at the wave of Shinigami that dashed towards him. Using nothing but his hands and his known Hakuda, Mikhail broke their formation and sent the young and naive Soul Reapers into a frenzy. As his Onmitsukidō troops fanned out to disarm and force the "straight out of the academy" Shinigami, Mikhail slid his arm across his forehead and stuck his fingers through his hair. Whiping the blood from his abdomine where a stray blade had made contact, Mikhail called over on of the stealth troopers. "Create a perimeter and secure this area, I don't want any other Squads encroaching in this area. This is key point and a necessity for our future endeavors."
Making sure the Onmitsukidō member understood clearly, Mikhail dashed off through through the courtyard and inward into the Sereitei. As he did so, he used Shunpo the entire way, taking quick looks here or there gaining vital information on where other Squads were stationed and how the rest of the Sereitei appeared as far as building wise. Returning to the courtyard to oversee the security over the area, Mikhail went to work healing pairs of fallen Shinigami. Using Hanos Void ex, he quickly depleated his Reiatsu in order to allow his fallen Stealth Troops to function at their best. Taking a break, Mikhail sat upon the walls of the courtyard and surveyed the area.

Using shunpo all throughout the Soul Society, Raine made her way towards the other captain. Although she couldnt sense his reiatsu, she followed the wake of destruction and moaning shinigami. Chuckling to herself, she continued to shunpo until she found a form sitting on a wall. Shunpoeing for the last time, Raine stood next to the figure, looking down to see Captain Mikhail. "Well hello there Captain." she said coolly and sat down next to him. "Having fun I see." she chuckled and leaned back, gazing down at the ninja looking shinigami. They looked like cute little black ants, running around and following orders.

"Raine." Saying nothing but her first name, Mikhail was slightly irritated by her presence. So casual in a time that called for action. Sure, she was a great Taichou when it came down to it all but right now was not the time to play with his nerves. With the Squads down one anothers necks, Mikhail had no clear idea who his allies exactly were of who he enemies were for that fact. Those that wished to be enemies generally faught him before talking and those that wished to be allies stated it first, above all. Her casualness irritated him really, normally it would have been welcomed but not now, no.
"Raine Olivia, Taichou of the 9th, what brings you here?" Swinging his feet like a child, Mikhail rolled his neck around, releasing the tension and "kinks" in the muscle in order to relax a little. It did little to releave his tension and cracked the bones together like one did with their knuckles. Whiping a spec of blood off his arm, Mikhail turned to "look" at miss Olivia. In all reality, he couldn't see her, he could only feel her presence which was welcomed but aggitating at the same time.

Looking back at Mikhail, Raine smiled childishly. She knew her casualness was pissing him off. That didnt mean she would be serious though. Hearing him use her full name made her right eyebrow twitch. She kept her childish smile on her face though. "I figured I'd come see what all the commotion was about." she answered simply and yawned. "Its not every day you get to see a captain take out whole squads with his bare hands ya know." Mimicking Mikhail, Raine too swung her feet, enjoying the cool breeze that blew through the area.

Sticking his fingers through his hair, Mikhail broke his serious expression with a smile. "I'm not your everyday Captain." Wagging a finger at the oddly naive Captain, Mikhail took in a long deep breath and held it for many moments. Releasing it slowly and strongly, Mikhail stretched and yawned in sync. Patting his mouth as his yawned, Mikhail go straight to the point. "If you want this gate than you need to beat me. Generally one who is picking a fight tends to fight first and talk second so I take it that you're here to talk."
Easing his muscles and easing his mind, Mikhail dismissed almost every possibility that Raine would attempt to kill him here and now. He knew that letting his guard down entirely would be stupid but he lowered it just enough to be aware of what was going on around him. "Taking this gate wasn't a simple task, I'm just lucky that I didn't loose any men. Can't say the same for those that chose to oppose me though. And I must say, it was rather nice not having to draw out my Zanpakuto." Laughing softly, Mikhail leaned back far and appeared to nearly fall of the wall. Moments before his weight had entirely shifted, he swung himself forward and sat upright again. He was getting antsy.

Blinking and watching Mikhail closely, Raine nodded. "I do want this gate. Very much." she said and shrugged. Holding her finger up before the man could make a reply, Raine went on. "But I'm willing to have a truce. We can share this here gate." Jumping to her feet and balancing easily on the wall, Raine took off her captain's haori, draping it over her arm. Looking down at Mikhail, she smiled wide. "I am, willing to fight you for something even better than a stupid gate." giggling in a childish way, Raine pulled from her bosom a bottle of Vodka. Where she had gotten this rather large bottle, and how it fit in that small of a space without becoming obvious, was a mystery. Tossing her haori at her feet and jumping off the wall, Raine held up the bottle. "Winner gets this bottle of Vodka!" she yelled and grabbed the hilt of her zanpakutou.

Laughing nearly uncontrollably, Mikhail slid off the wall and dropped to the ground, shunpoing from the very instant he touched the ground. Stealing the bottle from Raine's hand and going about a meter to take a look at the bottle, Mikhail smiled. "This is good s**t. You're on." Stretching out in the middle of the courtyard, Mikhail knew this would be a good fight. Raine had always been an old aquaitence of his. They'd never been good friends or enemies, mostly they were just drinking buddies who'd see who could tip back the most glasses, Raine usually won on account of her being a woman.
Doing a quit set of lunges and tossing his haori into the wind to be caught by one of his Stealth Troopers, Mikhail got into a stance and nodded. "Miss Raine, your move." Giving a slight wink, Mikhail stood ready and prepaired for anything. As unpredictable as Raine could be, he knew that he out classed her in certain areas of combat and he hoped to take advantage of those areas.

Laughing with Mikhail, Raine faced him, trying to contain her laughter. If there was one thing that could get this man off his a** and moving, it was vodka. Shunpoeing in front of the man, she kept the s**t eating grin on her lips as she aimed a quick kick with her right leg, using the heel of her foot towards his lower abdomen. She knew he'd easily be able to block or counterattack, but this was a good way to warm up. Raine knew that when drinking, she was boss, but in battle, Mikhail was boss. That didnt mean she wasnt going to put up a damn good fight though.

Catching Raine's foot, he "sponged" her kick by breathing in when she kicked him. It was a quick and intelligent move, but Mikhail knew that her kick wasn't meant to be damaging. Using her foot for a stand of sorts, Mikhail balanced on her outstretched leg and weightlessly balanced on his hands. Sending a kick to the bottom of his jaw with the top of his left foot, Mikhail put just enough power to make her jaw jump on its hinges. This was one of Mikhail's more acrobatic and fluid motions, a rarety at times.
"Raine Raine, go away, come again another day." Taunting his fellow Taichou, Mikhail chuckled like a little boy. How he loved the heat of battle, too bad far too many people took it far too serious than they should and that is why Mikhail fights as he does. Goofy puns and all.

"You just be happy I cant find a way to make fun of your name." Raine said in a reprimanding teacher voice. "Yet." She still had her grin on her face as she spoke. Leaning back until her hands touched the ground under her, Raine dodged the foot and lifted both her legs, so it looked like she was doing some odd form of advanced crunches. She was hoping to throw the man off of her, and catch him off balance. The moment she saw an opening she was going to run with it. As she lifted her lower body upwards, she could feel her shoulders and back crack several times. "Good god I'm getting too damn old for this!" she joked and jumped up, facing Mikhail again.

As Mikhail was flung over top Raine, he landed with his left leg out, overstretching the muscle and sending a twinge of pain up his leg. Crouching down, he swept his right leg towards her bents arm, trying to get her to fall onto her back. From that point he'd just make the rest up. "Flexible, I like." Smiling like some kind of goon, Mikhail showed his pearly whites to the crowd of Shinigami gathered. With his Squad and Stealth Troop Members rooting him on, he felt like some kind of god. But soon enough he whiped away those thoughts you're no better than anyone else.
A slight burning radiated throughout Mikhail's blinded eyes. The sweat was begining to stream down his body once again, his fairly athletic torso glistening with the salty amonia liquid. Whiping his forhead with a free hand, Mikhail could already taste the liquor on his lips. He could feel the burn of the hard alcohol rushing down his esophagus and it slowly warmed his heart and number his mind.

Kukiko was walking to the Gates of the Sereitei. In the distance she saw two Taichou, Bolshevik- taichou and Raine-taichou. It looked as if they were fighting but she was really unsure due to the distance between her and her two superiors. The young fukutaichou quickly went to see what was going on.
Upon ariving she saw that her superiors had been fighting. "Umm, Bolshevik-taichou, what is going on?" she asked waiting for a time when it didn't seem inconvenient to the other two.

A slight tinge of blush crept its way onto Raine's cheeks as she heard Mikhail's words. "Such a perv." she muttered and focused reiatsu into the bandages on her forearm. " Bakudō #8: Seki." she said as a shield looking thing covered the area Mikhail's leg would be connecting. She highly doubted that he would be able to avoid hitting the shield with his leg, but Raine never knew. Just in case he was able to avoid it, Raine rolled over, now instead of facing the sky, she was facing the ground. Laughing and jumping back up, she pushed her bangs from in front of her face, grinning at Mikhail. "C'mon I know that's not the best ya can do!" she yelled, taking a deep breath and dusting off her clothes.

With his attention shot, Mikhail was caught by the Geki. "Raine, hold on." Signalling to his forces, Mikhail had five of the Stealth Troops surround Kukiko. He was surprised to see the Luitenant without her Squad, an odity especially during these times with the civil war happening. "Luitenant Kukiko, what brings you here?" Shooting daggers from his eyes towards Kukiko, Mikhail pondered why she'd bring herself here. Whats she thinking? Why is she here?!
Breaking Raine's Geki, Mikhail shunpoed to Kukio, breaking the circle of Stealth Troops and towering over her. Placing a large hand on her shoulder, he squeesed gently but seriously. "Its not wise to be running about the Sereitei like you are my dear, you'll find yourself in over your head." Talking flatly and seriously, he continued to probe her presence.

Kukiko gave a slightly embarresed grin. "Umm, well, you guys were making a lot of noise and I was curious," she paused and looked up. "I have really good ears." She looked around her noticing that no one had come with her. "I told a few people to come with me and why aren't they here?" she looked behind her again to see her sister, Yukiko following her.
((We need more people in squad 4))
