[RULES: You can use anything and everything you have. Also, to make it equal, Kubo & Ami can use shikai in this fight but ONLY in this fight. Er, you have to fight in the environment chosen, BE CREATIVE AND MAKE IT WORK! 7.5 posts each. That's right, 7.5[yay for random odd numbers! And I'll let you guys figure out how to make half of a post... xD] I, and ONLY I, will be judging this. Er.. that's all I can think of right now. If I find that I need to make another rule I will but for now, let the battle begin! *snippy snips ribbon* ]
A random park on a random Thursday in a random northern village in a random country called Canada. It's randomly cold, and you are randomly near the Artic Circle. There's also a Snowball stand across the street. Coincidence? I think not.

Standing on a swing seat flowing back and forth smoothly, Kobu whistled lightly to himself. He was staring down at his feet and the seat, moving back and forth slowly. His hands were lightly grasping the chains connecting it to the top railing, apparent due to his unstable swiveling. His clothing consisted of a pull over jacket, pitch black with scribbled words across reading 'ҚoЯη'. He looked sort of sad, gazing in both direction every so often with his oddly melancholy expression. The only sound exerted from him was the soft clinking of metal from the swing's chain.. oddly enough, everything in his immediate area seemed to be knocked upon. Even the vendor across the street began to pick his head up, and examine his equipment due to noises.. A Poltergeist seemed to be dwelling amongst them.

Ryou walked through the snowy landscape. He had already tied his long hair back with a thick cord of white cloth. The rest of his outfit was that of the usual shinigami only with a light wool shirt and pants on under the clothing to keep his skin dry and warm. As he entered the park he saw one of the others that were to be here. "Hello." He said with a wave and a large smile, as the words came a white fog escaped from his mouth. "So do we wait for the others to arrive or start with out them?" He asked as he thought that some free moments in the snow would be fun since he never really ever had a chance to make snowballs and such as a child as far as he knew.

((OOC: The ".5" was edited in on Friday, December 25th, 2009)) The human body can be broken and destroyed
A words meaning can be distorted completely
Even the most strongest of minds can be manipulated
Time can never be broken or destroyed, distorted, or even manipulated
because it is always constantly changing
So why do so many people focus on never changing?
-Inspired by Tite Kubo She hadn't been ordered to come here, but there was a request that her presence would be greatly enjoyed if it where at this very location...
A door appeared and the surrounding area turned almost black, two butterflies fluttered from an opened sliding Japanese door. One white, and one pink. Her two most commonly used butterflies. Since they where nothing more than raw spirit formations she did not need to worry about making new ones. Each had their own name, Ai and Ami. Simple enough, and in a way it was a way for others to know who was stepping through the door.
As she slid out form the exit she appeared in her modified uniform. The doors slid behind her and the light returned as they faded away quickly. Ami's eyes shifted at the white ground, the pale gray sky, and the small park that was just a few meters away. The wind blew against her for just a second and she quickly realized she had underdressed, and not by just a little bit.
Quickly her arms wrapped around her torso and she dropped to a low crouch, keeping her feet planted on the ground and balancing herself on her toes. Her long black pig tails whisked carelessly in the wind as he bit against her.
Looking over to the small shack, she quickly stood and made long leaps and bounds until she was inside the shake standing beside the very curious man. he looked about no knowing that a Shinigami had just entered his warm shack and instead of investigating how the snow just plopped into his little sanctuary he quickly scampered off into the whiteness to gather his mind again. Insanely enough he found it easier to gather his thoughts when completely lost...
There was a town not to far off from this area, but what made this place so unique was that it was a playground, created for children yet it was nearly a half mile away form town. It was rumored it was created as a sick joke, or made simply by a person with a very bad sense of location.
This little attraction, was created in such a place where no travelers went, that same creator of this small park, also hired the snowball stand... where there was plenty of snow to make yourself.
As she stood within the unique stall she quickly realized just what it was, and quickly leaned closer to the warning sign that read: "Warning: Snowballs may cause injury and or death."
Standing back she simply shook her head and looked down to a large freezer within the heated shack.
Opening it curiously she peered inside and seen an endless collection of frozen snowballs. Ai Ami's gaze went dry as she looked up out of the window and seen the other people across the street. As she shook her head she quickly waved out at either person, "Hello over there!" her voice carried through the wind in a girlish tone.
Maybe she'd be the one to make a buck from selling snowballs in a frozen wasteland? 1 / 7.5

The cold whistling wind would fall to a deafening silence as the chime of another door way to soul society would open. This one being far more acute in location of the playground. A single standard death butterfly would come fluttering forth with a trenched figure behind. Long blond hair and a face covered in the shadow of a cornbread cowboy hat. The woman wold have a long green scarf concealing the lower part of her face, and the ends would dance from the bellowing wind coming from the traditionally fashioned Japanese door. The light would fade taking away the core shadow off the figures face. clouds of instantly freezing water vapor would be seen the the persons nose flared from the cold dry air. From under the hat familiar bright green eyes could be seen gazing at the two by the swing and darting to the corner to look off in the direction of the snowball stand. Trudging out of the thick green scarf soft and slightly pink lips would frame a grin as this individual started off towards Ryou and Kobu.
"Well aren't you boys looking well." the female voice would say, bringing into clear vision of the character behind it. It was Elyse Sajima, long time medical officer of the Seireitei and self proclaimed bruiser. though she had those who would support her claim with out flinching.
She came clothed for the weather hiding her usual revealing take on the uniform. Yet she did still have it on underneath it all. The bare mid drift ,the cleavage, and all the bits of armor were there and accounted for. Elyse had been busy with a few things as of late that were keeping her from being her usual blood thirsty self. Yet this match had to be taken seriously. She'd long wondered why she couldn't seem to hold a higher seat after reaching fourth for a few days. Now falling completely off the list was something embarrassing to say the least. It showed a lack of hard work, in her case it was with paying attention to announcement squad wide.
So Elyse now had a chance to redeem herself. Looking over to the shake she spotted the figure inside and could feel the presence of Ami inside. She now had another score to settle with this match. She and Ami had a bit of business to clear up, and Elyse best way to "communicate" was to beat the words into the other persons scull. Though this thought and Ami didn't mix well in her head, she wasn't going to hold back for any reason.
"Eh Ami! Get out here we're about to start!..." She turned to the other two. "That's fine with you two, right." She'd wait until Ami made her way to the considerable formation of space the now adversaries would take to have equal ground in this match. Elyse would then throw off her long black trench coat and unravel her scarf, revealing her shinigami uniform. which displayed her lean and yet soft to the eye muscled body. Drawing her long katana which clearly was considerably heave with one hand, she took stance . Scanning her gaze into the eyes of each of her opponents.
"Lets have a good match guys, and lets have any thing pent up come out right here and now." She'd look to Ami while saying the last part.

"Fine by me if we start now." Ryou said smiling as he drew his short blades from their bone sheaths. Now instead of like his last fight he held one blade backwards in his left hand and the one in his right was pointed normally. "Hope you don't think I am as weak as I was last time." He said as he waited to see how the other two were going to react at the very start of the battle. Already he had a plan formulating in his mind on how to use this cold snow environment to his advantage to compensate for his shikai constantly giving away his position in a battle. "Kaji-chan let's make this a good one alright." Ryou thought to his zanpakuto as he scanned the others for a second longer. After his last look he didn't want to keep the others waiting. Since Elyse was the only one here who Ryou had at least seen in combat first hand decided to head for her first. Running up at her he held up his small blades that looked like toys compared to her sword. Right before he was in her maximum reach he ducked a bit lower and closed in. stabbing many times rapidly with his right hand, aiming at different areas of the upper body. Some shots were fakes, the others were his strikes that were aimed at Elyse's right shoulder, left lower abdomen and the center of the abdomen. His hand was left at the ready to catch an incoming attack with the invertedly gripped blade.

It made Elyse’s face gleam with a warm smile as Ryou choose to come at her first rather than surprising the others with his abilities, but she’d see it as him being safe rather than sorry. Her blade was firmly held in her hand and her vision of the on coming Ryou was clear, it would have been a over step to try and throw him off from what she knew of his sword style. He’d not change much from his low striking zone. It still remained a smart choice in his attack, but it was still with it’s openings. With her smile drifting slightly back as to brace for the attack, Elyse’s blade would quite calmly be moved into a position were it’s length still held it’s advantage and she’s weaving her blade to intercept and parry his blade gently off it’s coarse or back away from her with her sheer brute force in striking backing each movement up. With the last thrust she’d come in to guard and brace the incoming zanpakuto against her own. Then with her out side foot, she’d kick up a cloak of snow. Using the screen of snow her blade would be would pierce trough it and cut for Ryou’s right Shoulder. Yet then a presence would be felt behind Ryou, it was Elyses figure and the tips of her finger were clasping the edge of her blade from behind Ryou. It would seem she used the screen to reposition her self and quickly displace her self by letting her blade fall trough the snow as if it were being aimed by her hand.
“Heads up, hehe.” the words would escape her lips as the blade would be forced to swing about by her finger tips and face the handle towards her once again. Even if Ryou tried to block the supposed attack it would only swing it around with out him knowing that their wasn’t a weight to counter the force he’d exert. With her katan to his back and a little distance between her and Ryou Elyse quickly came down in a heavy slash at the same right shoulder from the back, within the same motion slashing it from the supposed impact point and across the level point Ryous body would be. At this point Elyse was kneeling and pressing forward at his back with a full set of slash that raised a fair bit of snow with her every slash. One slash for the arteries over his heart, cuts for his tendons in his neck and shoulders, and peculiar rotational slash that seemed to mark six points and attack them with shallow thrust (which in Elyse’s case are heavy); The trust would go for the abdomen particularly. Each strike meant to throw off Ryous’s stomach, Elyse was with out conscious reason trying to make Ryou feel a bit sick.
"Hahahhehe Man It's been awhile Ryou! I'd never expect you to back track after all this time. Let me see what you've gained while my eyes weren't watching you! I'm actually really upset that I let your progress out of my site. I've always been interested!" The athletic Elyse's body would be in full swing as if she'd warmed up before coming to this match. Yet int truth her full strength was yet to be show cased to her fellow squad members, but the same held true for herself with them as well. The whole idea of it all made her fall into a nostalgic high of battle, she'd been with out to long in hr opinion. White mist would bellow from her nostrils as they pulled the air into her demanding physique muscles.
"Ami! Hurry up or there won't be none left of me for you latter...or do you want use to come to you?!"
((Now lets get this thing rolling, Ami I want a piece of that but too. So hurry up and jump in.))

Simply watching the fight rage on in a matter of seconds Ami's eyes where pointed directly upon Elyse. She moved with such discipline and so much poise, giggling seeing how all of the contestants upon the small battle field looked so serious about killing each other. Sighing with a content breath the small woman leaned against the window seal that peered out of the small joke of a sale shack. Selling snowballs as a comical gesture, but this place was of no joke. It was selected as a testing ground for the Fourth Squad Seating competition, but it was never defined what had to be done to to win such an event. Many to most members believed it was a fight until the last man standing, but many fights didn't come to an end and it left just many in need of medical attention. Fighting for a seat against other members sounded rather... amateur and unprofessional. So with a distance placed between herself and the fight just meters away Ami felt both safe and content right where she was. Maybe the captain would show up and calm everything down and they'd be tested on a written test while... trying to endure the freezing cold? Or, no that was stupid. Maybe the captain wanted to see all of them would do, maybe this was a test. To see who would take charge. Elyse simply jumped right in sword first, this was fourth squad, a healing squad, not a fighting squad. Their swords where meant merely to protect themselves or those that where unable to protect themselves that had fallen due to combat. This was just some over zealous members wishing to gain something through what, this pointless show of abilities? When it came down to it, in real combat there was no rescue, no help on the other side. If any of these people where injured in real combat they wouldn't have the security of knowing that help was within their opponent. This spar to show who was king of the hill proved nothing, so now Ami would show them what it meant to be a true leader. Or at least attempt to do so seeing she never held such a title before in this current lifetime.
So with the butterflies now just starting to form in her gut, and a lump in her throat she boldly stepped out from the shelter. The cold now being barely felt as she felt a slight burn summon to her face as she started to blush as to what she was about to perform. She wasn't going to address any one person but the entire group. As she stood out against the wind she began to summon the spiritual pressure to perform a Kido effective enough to make a point. As she took in a deep breath the snow around her began to spin around her figure lightly. And then within Ami's head she heard a giggle, a familiar giggle in which she knew was a mere memory. Ishi appeared faintly beside Ami, Ishi could be heard as a soft whisper within the wind. "For this fight, and this fight only will I let you use one of my many talents, and I'll give you just enough strength to do what you have cooked up in that fragile mind of yours." Ami simply shook her head gently, and looked over to her, feeling grateful that Ishi wasn't here to kick her a**, but to give her attention. It was silly how an offer from someone so influential could change the opinion of their peers with a simple act of kindness. So, with a bit of confidence with the added help of Ishi, and the confidence of feeling like she wasn't doing this alone against so many tough people. Ishi vanished as she looked back at the group and giggled, which could be heard far off in the distance.
Ami took in another breath and her spiritual pressure spiked to a new level, she had never felt this much power course through her entire body. Drawing her sword the ground around her whistled as the sheer spiritual pressure alone pushed all the snow around her away. Her voice rose above the wind, "All of you STOP!" With that she pushed forward with her hands and yelled at the word, "SHO!" Her entire form glowed pink, and though the sound of her shouting voice echoed off in the distance nothing happened. Ami stood looking a the group with a deep glare, her eyes then began to glow pink, Ishi chimed within Ami's head, "Now let me show you a snowball." Her body glowed pink and with a deafening slam the snow two meters to either side of her smashed up from the ground and into the air. Hiss all the snow that had been slammed into the air washed over the entire group, Ami quickly repeated herselves, "SHO!" and yet again another batch of snow smashed up into the air and over the group, now a blinding amount of heavy snow showered down upon the entire group.
"Put away your weapons!" her yell was almost a shriek in the bitter cold. All the individuals now within the area would be both blinded and suffocated. 2 / 7.5

Ryou was able to see that he was at a disadvantage as his blade was so gracefully parried and then locked into place. However he was a bit confused why Elyse didn't just use her sword length as a constant advantage as she kicked up snow and fell back to strike. He knew this type of ploy before and Jumped up high as the blade came out and glided right under his feet. The instant he landed he felt someone standing right behind him. Keeping low and pivoting around he turned to face his target and was ready to take out her legs, but was halted when snow was launched above him and sent falling all around him and the word stop was shouted. "What the heck... Is this her shikai or something?" Ryou asked with wide eyes full of confusion. "Strange, she seems to want you both to stop attacking." Kaji Kane whispered in Ryou's mind. Considering this Ryou decided to listen to what Ami wanted to say so he sheathed his blades but kept one hand by the hilt of one as he stayed in his crouched combat stance. Once more the fairy's voice spoke to Ryou. "I can use shikai from this position quickly if either try anything suspicious. Then you can use this snow as a masking cover to our real weapon." said the shimmering voice. "Yes my plan from the start." Ryou thought back to his zanpakuto. Still he wondered what this would mean now that he might have to face two opponents at once.

((Sorry folks I was trying to get a lot of my work for finals done.))
Elyse was thrilled to see Ryou's reactions to her tactics. Though unconventional she'd loved to push her close combat style and it was one of her guilty pleasures. Yet just as Ryou was abut to take action to her surprise attack a wave of snow came from behind, but even before that a spike in reishi had been felt. Elyse had already been in motion to knee Ryou in the face from before his attack could land. So she simply changed her legs direction to use his ducked stance as a spring board. She'd leap into the air forward and turn mid air to cut a gash in the sheet of snow. Coming to a smooth landing with the snow parted in a "V" around her. The energy was high to say the least, but it wasn't what was throwing Elyse off a bit, it was the source of this spike. Though this wasn't bad in her book, it just meant that she could keep her word about not holding back. A grin made it's self know under the shadow of her hat, and her fist clenched the handle of her blade more firmly now. She herd Ami, she understood quite clearly what her words meant but they weren't registering as commands. From under her hat Elyse could see that Ryou had already given the thought of this being some cross talk on who was stronger but Elyse knew better. As civilized as shinigami are, one thing above all is true. They were soldiers, soldiers who healed but weapons none the less in the thirteen court guard squads.
Elyse would being to laugh softly to her self and then the sound would grow. The sound of her laughter now bouncing off invisible walls of air, echoing.
"You're a riot Ami, you truly are. I know this is your first seat challenge but I thought you'd be able to catch on. Shinigami are about strength when it comes to our seat, may it be muscle, speed, or intelligence. The better of all or most is the top dog. So why would you waste our time in some stupid command to stop what we were doing! You're showing some nice power there. So I suggest you use it, because I'm going to cleave your head from you shoulders if you don't." Creaking her neck to the side. " Ryou draw your weapon." Elyse could feel the effects of Ami's yell, but they weren't going to take hold as easily as she'd hoped.
Elyse walked forward with a quick stride and a clenched fist heading right for Ami. She hadn't put her weapon away and she wasn't really in a fighting stance. Standing over the girl her fist flew right for her cheek, and her blade came up for her neck next. If Ami was fool hardy enough to just ignore it that was fine, but Elyse wasn't going to stop. "fight me god damn it. Get this straight, we are more than just a healing hand. We need to be strong to heal on a battle field...Have you even thought of what would happen if you couldn't defeat an enemy in time to heal your friends. sometimes we're the last line so power matters, you stuck up b***h!" Elyse would continue to swing at Ami if she'd dodged either of her attacks with ample force as well. Her own Reishi would begin to quake, but not as fiercly as Ami's.
