[quote=Kurisa] 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 [/quote] Nishiki's plan was halted dead in it's tracks when Shiro spoke, adding another hand onto his Zanpakuto while increasing the pressure he was bringing down on Nishiki's blade. The latter's eyes widened a touch but immediately she gained a smirk. That smirk soon morphed into a toothy grin as she raised her own energy. Translucent white energy slowly began forming around Nishiki and her own Zanpakuto as she too increased the amount of pressure she was pushing against Shiro's blade, trying to push it back as much as possible while still holding her grin.
