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

As expected, Nishiki's strike was blocked and countered with a slash from Shiro's blade. Since he slid back, Nishiki tired to slide back herself to avoid the cutting edge. Whether she did avoid it or not wasn't on Nishiki's mind at the moment, instead she immediately threw her body forward, aiming to do so before Shiro had a chance to move his sword back to where he desired. As she did, Nishiki aimed to punch Shiro's right forearm directly in the middle, since this was the arm he was using to hold his blade, with her left hand. If she landed the strike, she'd then use the palm of her right hand to grab hold of the back of Shiro's blade to hold it still before aiming to knee him in the gut with her right knee.
