[quote=AbigailTenshi] Nishiki's blade clashed with Shiro's before the man used his right foot to boot her blade out of the way. Fighting against the force without letting go of her sword, Nishiki took her left hand off of the hilt of her blade before dragging it back just in time to clash with Shiro's sword once more as he slashed downwards. Nishiki found her knees bending slightly under the pressure. To combat this, Nishiki turned her blade so that Shiro's sword was clashing against the flat side of it. She then placed her left hand on the underside, near the tip of her sword, for more control and to add more force to try push Shiro's blade upwards. Her aim was to hold it up before kicking the open right side of Shiro's body a few times. She knew that with both hands busy, she may of seemed as though she was at a disadvantage, however Nishiki decided to turn up things up a notch for herself and test how she'd deal with being in such a situation. A quick smirk found it's way across Nishiki's lips but she soon disguised it. Clearly she was having fun, at lot more than she usually would in battle due to the fact that she was fighting her Captain. [/quote] As Shiro slashed down he clashed with Nishiki's Zanpakuto again, seeing her hold it with both hands as she tried to push back against his "Tch. Not bad, but Let's kick this up a notch!" Shiro then placed his left hand on his Zanpakuto, now holding it with both hands as a red aura slowly began to from around him and his Zanpakuto as he pushed down with more force, there was one thing Shiro liked and that was a good clash
