Shiro watched as Nishiki narrowly avoided his Zanpakuto cutting her as she then quickly closed in on him again, her left fist then slammed into Shiro's right forearm effectively stopping him from moving his Zanpakuto back to cut her however she then grabbed his Zanpakuto with her right hand further preventing him from moving it. Her right knee them slammed into his gut, this caused him to skid back a little more however Shiro then with his free left hand extended his middle and index finger as he aimed to slam them into Nishiki's mid section to us Tsukiyubi. This would create a small white flash upon contact that would send her flying back away from him. As it stood Shiro was impressed with how well she fought at close range, he wanted to see what else she could do but he needed to see what she could do with her Zanpakuto also

Nishiki hadn't accounted for what Shiro would do with his free hand to retaliate and thus prepared herself to take on any attack he'd dish out. Shiro was successful in using a Tsukiyubi which, after a flash of white light, sent Nishiki flying back and rolling across the floor before she forced herself to her feet, skidding a little to a stop. Her Zanpakuto was on it's way to the floor in which Nishiki suddenly dived forward, jumping over the blade as it was just about to pin itself into the floor. As she flew over it, Nishiki grabbed the hilt before flipping her body in the air to land on her feet with bent knees. Straightening herself back up, she shook her legs a little, one by one before darting towards Shiro once more, this time running towards his left arm. As she closed in once again, Nishiki raised her blade that was held in her right hand across her body, as if she was aiming to slice Shiro's free hand from the left to right, however once Nishiki was close enough to slice, she jumped to the right side of Shiro and aimed to sliced his right shoulder from left to right before turning her body inwards with her sword straight and ready to block a sword strike.
