As Nishiki reached closer, an idea formed within her head. She wanted to try some different moves to see which could be usable within battle and which couldn't. Once she was close enough, Nishiki bent her knees a little, seeming as though she was going to slice diagonally upwards, but instead of aiming to cut Shiro, Nishiki let go of her sword, throwing it high into the air one step away from being stood right in front of Shiro. She used it as somewhat of a distraction and a way to make her appear less dangerous, as if to make her opponent underestimate her suddenly since she had much more power than she had been showing, before bending her knees a little more, aiming a forceful uppercut to Shiro's chin with her right fist.

Shiro watched Nishiki as she got closer, his eyes narrowing as she got right up close, he then saw her throw her Zanpakuto up in the air, he glanced up a little however his focus quickly returned to Nishiki as he saw her fist coming up towards him, he held his left forearm up to block her attack, this caused him to slide back slightly as he then slashed from right to left, once again his only intent to cut Nishiki's clothes at most as he wasn't trying to kill her
