(It was early on a saturday afternoon, the sun was as bright as ever. It was a beautiful day for anybody. Not many people could be bored or restless on a day like this, not many...but I was. I found myself staring at the T.V. without any recognition of what I was watching. Deciding I was itching for something else I pulled my cell phone out. Flipping through my contacts I came upon the one person I knew would give me the rush I sought.
Caling Kazuma It rang once before going straight to his awnsering machine. Either he was on the hpone or his phone was off.
"Hey buddy it's Bruce, I know it's been a long time since you last saw me, but how about we meet at the same clearing we did three months ago when we had our last great spar. See you there at 3:00"
(I said into his awnsering machine. Flipping the phone closed I went upstairs and grabbed my fighting gear. Throwing it into a duffle bag I grabbed the keys for my car. Walking outside I jumped into my car and drove off towards the forest.
-----------------45 mins later-------------------
(As I found myself sitting down at the clearing I looked around. I was still half an hour early. getting changed into my Muay Thai shorts I reached into my bag. Pulling out my tape I taped up my hands to my elbows. I then taped up my ankles. Taking off my shirt and throwing it in the bag I pulled out my pack of cigarettes. Pulling one out of my pack I lit the cigarette and inhaled deeply. Sitting down with my back to a tree I waited for kazuma to show)

When he picked up the phone his face suddenly lit up with egarness as he saw the name that had left a message on his voicemail. Bruce didn’t just call him for anything infact he normally just called for one thing and that was fine with him, a sparing partner was just as good as a friend or alie in his book though nothing had happened yet to have to resort to favors yet.
Kazuma got off the Bench in his home gym he had been on and traveled up stairs to the second floor of the house to his room. His wife Teneile was still away at a high end dancers school which meant he did not have to be coy about anything. He normally took it easy these days but still trained his heart out, now luckily for him Bruce was willing to give him a chance to test what all his weight lifting and fight training had given to him. He took off his wedding ring and placed it aside before getting changed .
He changed into a pair of jeans and a tight fitting muscle shirt and then did something he normally never took the time to do, he dug around and pulled out his wrapping tape and taped up his own hands and over his fore arms. He figured Bruce would do the same given his style, in the end it would only make sure the fight was as great as their last one which had nearly burnt out both of them pushing their limits to the extremes. If the fight went there again Kazuma knew without Teniele around to pull him out of that state this fight could end badly a hospital stay was just the tip of the iceburg as far as those out comes were concerned.
~~~ Later ~~~
Kazuma Found himself walking down the same path he had 3 months ago, memories of that fight still in his head his watch read 15 to 3. When he got closer he saw his sparring partner for the day and a twisted smirk crossed his lips. They had fought each other before which kept adding to their fights, they learned each others stances and moves even learned which openings the other would take when they say it, it made the fights that much more challenging when the other fighter had such knowledge of you and in turn you had to rise above it and become better yourself.
“Here were are again huh…I didn’t even know you were back in town yet” Kazuma said moving his neck for one side to the other cracking it lightly. “Hope I didn’t keep you waiting to long out here”

(Hearing my good friend kazumas voice I smiled. Flicking the cigarette out of my mouth I stood up and stretched out my back.)
"well, i was waiting for a perfect oppurtunity like this would come around to let you know i was in town"
(I said with a smile as i turned to him. I then quickly rolled my shoulders to loosen up the muscles. Stepping more into the clearing I turned to him and smiled)
"so do you want to take the honours my good friend or shall I?"
(I asked him with a smile as I brought my hands up in front of my face in a traditional boxing stance. I knew that kazuma knew I wasn't just a boxer and that he would be expecting more then just punches from me. I was almost jittering with all the pent up anticipation inside of me, I would get to test out the new fighting techniques I had learned in my absence, and at the same time I would be in for a hell of fight.)

He chuckled light at Bruces words, they tended to spar every so often it was some of the only fighting Kazuma did anymore unless there was something at school happening that required him to be part of it. He watched as Bruce began to lossen up a bit and figured he would do the same thing after removing his own shirt an setting it aside knowing it would probably be ripped if he kept it on for the little match. Kazuma rolled his own shoulder and then stretched out his legs quickly. A better brawler then Boxer and a better boxer then kick boxer he had molded his style around all three which while basic when it had his power behind it tended to be more then most could handle.
He then curled his arms and flexed every muscle he could getting blood pumping to them quickly to get his body ready for the muscle contractions he would use to dull the damage of the blows he would most likely take. When he was done Bruce asked his if he would like to take the honors before preparing a stance. “You spoil me you know that” Kazuma said smiling as he balled his fist up, one could hear the sound of his wraps tightening just before his knuckles cracked, and then with a burst of energy from his legs closed the distance between them.
He was not wasting any time with holding back, he knew how Bruce hated when he held back. His first attack was simple his right fist would come to Bruce in a hook coming toward his body though instead of just being a clean punch he move his body with it adding to the power while lessening the speed slightly making sure even if it was blocked Kazuma would be able to throw the rest of his weight behind it and take Bruce right off his feet and into the air, the down side to such a powerful hook as that if Bruce dodged Kazuma’s body would still turn left Giving Bruce just enough time for a quick shoot at the opening that would be formed to his head and parts of his right side and back.

(Hearing Kazumas words I smiled. Then suddenly he launched forward and closed the distance between us. As he unleashed a devestatingly powerful right hook for my body, I instinctivily began to step back to dodge. My plan was to dodge and go to the side that was open. Quickly I made up my mind as to what I was going to do.
Instead of jumping back and counterattacking. I launched myself forward at his body. This would cause his fist to pass behind me and his forearm to hit my side instead. As I launched forward I brought my right knee up for his sternum in an attempt to wind him with a flying knee. I knew that kazuma would be ready for the unexpected since everytime me and him fought I did something like this, and most of the time it involved my knees as well. I knew kazuma could throw the rest of his body into the strke and send me flying due to my balance of one leg, but I hoped by then my strike would already connect)
On a normal opponent I would have felt good about this attack landing, on kazuma who had fought with me so many times I wasn't so sure.)

(Tricky fuck) Kazuma thought to himself as he saw Bruce rushing forward instead of backing away or holding his ground. He felt his fore arm hit Bruces side but he knew even with the swing he had a hit like that lacked the impacted needed for a good hit. He was coming at him and attacking, he really earned his nickname ‘Reaper’ a talented fighter that would look the devil in the eyes right before he slapped him. Though he wasn’t fully expecting it Kazuma did what he had trained himself to do. He simultaniusly contracted his muscles in his core and exhaled knowing Bruce’s small habit of taking winding shots.
His knee hit and he could feel his ribs bending in with the blow, Bruce was dangerous with his knee’s an effective Muy Tai fighter who knew exactly were to strike. Kazuma stumbled back inhaling he could feel a nice burning sensation with his first breath. But he was not going to slow down, he wasn’t going to give Bruce that chance he needed for a decent stance knowing that if he did it would not be in his favor.
He forced himself forward again and threw a wild and powerful left upper cut toward Bruce’s right side, if kazuma wanted to make this any type of real match he would have to slow Bruce down and the easiest way he could think about doing that was winding him and attacking his sides making sure that his movements would be painful.

(As my knee hit kazumas core I heard him tighten up by exhaling. good, it was god to know that suck a fight like this wouldn't be short. Especially when fighting such a great fighter as kazuma. He knew exactly how to use his strengths to his advantage. One of those strengths being his sheer size and ability to take pain because of his size. It was like attacking someone with a heavy lining of kevlar surrounding their stomach.
As Kazuma stumbled backwards I dropped to the ground, as my feet touched the ground I was surprised to see kazuma come at me right away with a left uppercut aimed for my right side. Dropping my right arm down and overing my side with my elbow I tried to brace myself. Due to him attacking right as I landed I didn't have time to brace my legs as well for the blow.
As his punch connected with my right arm I went flying to my left. Hitting the ground hard I rolled with the momentum and found my feet again. Grinning to kazuma I shook my right arm to make the creeping numbness subside. His hit was like getting hit by a fucking truck.)
"didn't expect that one buddy, glad to see you've picked up some new tricks in my absence"
(I said to him still smiling, but so have I, I thought to myself as I prepared to charge the distance to him. Rushing forward I threw a right hook aimed for his face. but instead of following through I aimed the hook to pass mere inches in front of his face. Pivoting hard to my left I brought my left hand out so he would think I would be throwing my famed spinning backfist. Instead though at the last minute I would bend forward and shoot my left leg out in a hard mule kick aimed for his chest)

Kazuma could feel pain shoot through out his left hand as it connected with Bruce’s elbow, As his went flying kazuma undid his fist and shook it flushing the pain out of his hand as best he could. He could put dents in steel doors with his fists but hitting a elbow like that unexpectedly had hurt the hand slightly though from what he felt nothing was broken. He tried to remake the fist when Bruce spoke but it hurt to much to hold it through the tight tape around his hand, but as he saw Bruce charge the hand defensivly balled up even through the pain it was in as adrenaline began to push through his body.
The hook was fast Kazuma’s head leaned back not realizing the blow had been meant to miss in the first place. Before he could fully react he noticed his body pivoting and Kazuma read iit as a back fist something he knew Bruce liked keeping in his arsenal. His Right hand lifted up to the side of his face planning on stopping the attack and Bruce, his left hand ready to throw a punch right to the square of his back once Kazuma stopped the back fist.
It was then that he felt a tremdous amount of pressure hit his chest and his eye looked down seeing Bruces foot stuck in the middle of his chest. “Devious bastard” Kazuma grunted out lightly stumbling slightly. Bruce had finally landed a hit that he had not been able to defend against having used his speed an agility to distracted Kazuma’s limited vision.
Once Bruce turned to him Kazuma decided it was time to play a little trick of his own, even in the pain of his chest and sternum. He charged a bit and then did something most would not expect a man his size to do. Using those mammoth legs of his he shot himself forward through the air his right Knee extended looking to knee Bruce right in the middle of his body. It was simple but with his weight behind it his size and muscles there was barely anyway to defend agianst it, after all if Bruce was able to stop him it would only mean Kazuma would wind up falling on him which was not a plesant feeling.

(As I felt my mule kick connect I smiled with satisfaction. Turning to end my pivot I faced kazuma with my hands up and ready. As he shot forward from those tree trunks he called legs I was in total disbelief of his next attack. he was using a flying knee something that kazuma had never done before in our fights.
Due to him being in such close courters I didn't have time to dodge really. Instead I did the best thing I could do, I brought my hands up in front of my chest in an X fashion and braced myself as best as I could with my legs. As his knee and body weight connected with my arms they were sent slamming backwards into my chest, which in turn sent me staggering backwards a couple of feet due to the blow.
Both of my arms were i devestating pain due to the attack, but I knew I had to use that pain to my advantage. I had to make sure to also make him feel my pain. Instantly as his feet touched the ground I launched off my back foot and jumped in the air slightly. Cocking my right hand back I made it look as if I would throw a hard superman punch at his face. Only to at the last minute tourque my hips as hard as I could to my right and send out a left half jumping roundhouse kick aimed for his right ribs. In mid air I would say knowing he would hea rme past all the adrenaline)
"taking a page out of my book eh champ"
(Right before I would snap my kick out at his ribs)

Kazuma hated using aerial attacks, large men like him were meant to stay grounded but as the attack went through he could not help but be proud of the power such an attack had. He had studied Bruces attacks and noticed how much power he withdrew from them at his stature, while not a dedicated kick boxer like Bruce through Kazuma knew he would be able to get much more impressive results just given the size and power difference between the two of them.
Kazuma was impressed his sparring partner and friend still stood, he knew how much pain they could put each other through. Last time the fight had dragged on till Bruce blacked out from exhaustion and Kazuma had gone insane on adrenaline and of course the mind altering supplements he was on. He hoped it wouldn’t drag on to that again after all no one would be here to stop it like his wife then girlfriend had last time.
Kazuma knew bruce had to have felt that one but it seemed his red headed friend wasn’t going to call an end to it on a case of achy arms. He then did something Kazuma was not expecting jumping of all things. This was nothing he knew all to well, Bruce leaping was never good, he had more control over his actions then most seemed to air born.Kazuma’s arms Bent at the elbow as he planted his feet as best he could his hands outstretched . His original plan was to grab bruces arm and then bury a palm strike into him right before slamming his body into the ground, but at the last moment he saw his hips move and knew a kick was coming
The kick hit his arm hard the appendage was hard though and used to pain, this was just a different kind of pain it would have to world through. With his right arm enable at the moment his left shot out at the still floating Bruce in the form of a palm strike headed to his mid section

(As my kick connected with his arm I watched kazuma. Seeing his left outstretch in a palm strike for my mid section, I shot out my still cocked back right hand in a palm strike of my own. This would cause both of our hands to collide nullifying the attack. Since I was in midair though I was sent spinning to my right backwards a couple of feet. Hitting the ground I rolled and got up.
Instantly I clenched and unclenched my right hand, due to his sheer power my arm was killing me. That plus his other attack felt like my arm was going to be destroyed. Luckily for me htough a Muay Thai kickboxer had 6 limbs they always say. He may have hurt my arms but I still had more then that. Standing I faced him and smiled)
"your turn big guy"

(sorry for the wait)
Kazuma watched as bruce spun through the air. It was impressive on how he got back up Kazuma would have to tip his hat off to him on such a feat. He watched standing there and trying to ignore the pain Bruce had gifted his arm with not wanting to go on a relentless attack yet. Once he got going like that it was no longer fighting but more of a savage beating that lacked the flar or skill of any style.
“God your more durable then I remember” Kazuma said with a small grin watching Bruce get back into a boxing stance. He wondered why he bothered with such a stance Kazuma already knew Bruce was more of a kick boxer with a liking for the south paw style. That was what Kazuma was anticipating waiting for when Bruce finally had enough and started using his aces
Kazuma closed the gap between them his stance was wide and his feet were flat to the ground, it was clear he was going to focus more on power and defense at the moment. He knew if he wore down his lighter opponent that his movement would not be as quick as what they normaly were. When that time came Kazuma would be able to use lighter quicker punches which were still devastating due to his sheer size and power.
His hands were raised infront of him in a traditional boxing stance his right arm just alittle lower then the left as though he was anticipating to use it for something other them punching. Kazuma then threw a hard left cross heading right for Bruces body not caring f his arms were infront of him to block.

(As I heard his words I merely grunted and stood there waiting for his attack. As he threw his hook I kept my hands in front as if i was going to use them to block the same way i did before. only at the last minute my left leg would pivot backwards. this would cause the back of his fist to pass just in front of my chest. I would then continue my pivot back to my left so that i would spin and my back would be touching the outside of his forearm during this spin. then to end the whole counterattack i would launch my left hand out in a spinning backfist aimed to pass just over his extended left hsoulder and into the left side of his face. All of this would be completed in a single fluid motion.
If succesful I wouldn't wait for him to recover I would press the attack by completing my spin and throwing a quick right hook for his ribs, followed by a lef tuppercut aimed for the head. It was a fairly simple combonation that needed the backfist to start it off, but the power behind each shot was undeniable. The combo may have been simple but it worked and that was all that mattered in fights)

He was as good as ever dodging the hook so very closely not moving till the last moment making sure Kazuma would not have any time to change his attack, the power he used made it very had for him to change or maneuver an attack at the last second. Before Kazuma knew it he felt Bruces back fist slam into his face disorienting the giant teen for a moment not having expected such an attack even though he should having knowing Bruce and his cunning tactics. Before he knew it he felt another sharp pain in his ribs cause his body to tilt to the side upon impact.
When the upper cut hit Kazuma had to stumble back disoriented and slightly enraged which never boded well for anyone in a match with him sparing or real. There was an unspoken agreement between the two of them, never hold anything back and give it all you have when they fought they did so not as friends but as rivials looking to get stronger and improve their skills
Kazuma forced himself to regian his composure his teeth grinding against each other as he sprang toward Bruce his hands out to his sides, defense was the last thing on his mind at the moment, he had the size and strength and he planed on using it. A right upperecut would come from the side heading toward Bruces left ribs his left hand was cocked back his palm outstretched if bruce planed on dodging the upper cut his left hand would shoot out in a palm strike it target was Bruce in general looking just to hit him and get him off his feet a wild tactic which only some one like himself could afford doing .

(As my full combonation hit I found myself smiling devilishly. As kasuma regained his senses I smiled even more so.)
"hehehe it seems without me here you don't have anyone to beat you up"
(I jibed to him as I brought my hands back up in my boxing stance. It was amazing how much punishment kazuma could withstand, and still come back at me without a seconds hesitation. As Kazuma sprang forward I readied myself. When his right hand shot out for a hard uppercut, I sidestepped to my right. As I sidestepped I was already launching a right uppercut of my own for his left ribs, when I noticed his own left palm strike attacking me. Due to me being in close and having shorter limbs I was confident that my strike would hit either at the same time or before. All I could do was wait for the devestating shot that would send me flying backwards.)

He felt Bruces uppercut hit his ribs, the blow had hit just seconds before his palm strike connected, Bruce had saved his ass once more his blow slowing down Kazuma’s movements just slight helping deaden what would be in impact force but not the extra push he would add upon connection throwing Bruce away from him. His teeth were grinding at the pain in his left side now but instead of waiting Kazuma leapt right after Bruce pressing his attacks though he would not even through a punch if Bruce had not been able to get up in time.

(As The open palm strike hit me I shot backwards and hit the ground hard on my back. Grunting from the shot I looked up to see kazuma pressing the attack. Instantly I rolled backwards and regained my feet. Instead of getting to my full height however I kept my legs bent fully and leapt off them as hard as I could in a spear at kazumas oncoming body. I was hoping surprise and the fact that he was rushing forward would help me in landing this attack.
If the spear was succesful and he went down with me on top of him I would throw a hard right hook down at his left higher ribs. I knew my last couple of shorts had hurt so I decided to keep on attacking that area. I would then roll of to my right and regain my feet. If the attack went through that was)

Bruce went for his spear, a bold move on his half given the clear size difference between them but if there was anyone out there who could effectively spear Kazuma Bruce would be the one to pull it off. His shoulder slammed his gut and Kazuma could feel himself going backwards. Kazuma remembered from last time what had happened when Bruce had gotten him on the ground and he was not about to let that happen again.
As kazuma feel back his hands came from his sides and grabbed Bruce by his by own. As he would fall back Kazuma would use that strength in his arms and the momentum of falling back to throw bruce over him preventing him from landing ontop of him. But still Kazuma would be hurting and with all that size Bruce would still be up faster then him allowing him to retake the advantage of the fight.

(As I felt my shoulder make contact I smiled wolfishly. the type of smile a predator would give his prey, I knew that if I could get on top of him the fight would go very far in my favour, I could almost feel the flesh that would make contact with my fists. Then suddenly his hands grabbed mine. Withen a quick heartbeat i found myself being flipped over onto my back with my head almost touching kazumas.
Hitting the ground with a hard thud I rolld to my left and regained my feet. Instead of jumping at kazuma while he would be getting up I would wait for him to regain his feet.)
"hehe your still as tough as ever I see kazuma"
(I said with a smile as I brought my hands back up in a traditional boxing stance. When he was ready i would motion for him to make his move)

Kazuma slowly got up. “Yeah, well marriage toughens you up” he said with a grin getting up he turned his neck from side to side cracking it. Sparring was one of those thing he could not help but enjoy, people like him and Bruce seemed to have an instinctive need to fight kazuma knew it was going to be a part of him no matter how old he got and he had a feeling the same went for Bruce as well.
“I see your training paying off to, I landed a few good hits that normally keep a lot of people down for the count and here you are still standing” Kazuma was getting back into his own unique little stance, his legs spread and his fist held up. It was clear he was grounding himself again to draw the maxium amount of power while staying some what stationary the flaw point being his lower body which would be slower moving and harder to defend against sweeps.
“So you want to make this interesting” Kazuma said with a grin “I say five second fall count…loser buys the first round at the bar, what do you say”
