Sparks of metal met as the swords smashed against each other in heated combat. Masataka jumped backwards in a flip, breaking off from the clash of swords, and palming his Zanpakuto as he shifted his body in a speedy yet stern stance. His female oponent coldly said nothing and shifted her thin form, charging at amazing speed with a front slash break out.
Masataka's hand came up, blade in grip to meet the charging blade. There was a break shockwave as the two once again met each other in a flurry of steel. It was obvius that he was the faster and stronger one of the two. They vanished in a burst of Shunpo before meeting once more in mid air, sending them both flying backwards at the sheer power released in that final strike.
The girl slammed into a wall, letting out a small shout of pain as her back met stone. A crack rang along the wall as she tried to steady herself, grasping her Zanpakuto tightly as she began to glow with a thin yet cold blue light. The air grew heavy and began to chill with ice as her blade shattered with energy. Her purple eyes stared at Masataka as her voice trailed over her lips.
"Dance, Sode no Shirayuki..."
Rukia twirled her blade as particles of ice trailed with the blade, a strip of cloth following closely behind as her eyes flashed. Masataka stared in brief shock as her form gave off a devine glow, snatching his thoughts from his mind as his heart beat sped up. The petite girl said nothing as she gave the Shinigami male a cold stare, holding the blade strady.
"Some No Mai..."
Her form vanished in a burst of Shunpo. The feminine Shinigami blinked and stared wide eyed. His blood suddenly ran cold as a bright flare of energy ran along the floor and formed around him. Masataka's head slowly turned, his eyes staring over his shoulder at the smirking Rukia. She caught his stare with a wink and then exploded with light.
"...Tsuki Shiro!"
Masataka's eyes trailed down as ice began to crawl up his feet. His eyes flared with anger as a current of fire exploded from his blade, licking the ice and melting it instantly. Rukia gasped as his form vanished and appeared infront of her, fist pulled back. Knuckles met flesh in an instant and the petite beauty was sent into darkness.
She had almost had him.
