Before the fight began Setsuko had activated her own Byakugan as well as get into the gentle fist stance. however, because Higoho was eager to go first in attacking, or so it looked that way from her point of view Setsuko mistakenly took a step back in shock. As he aimed for her right side she would slightly lean her body back as well as twist the left side of her body forward to be able to repel it with the bit of chakra she focused to her left hand. Setsuko then slid her left foot to get back into a position that wouldn't knock her off balance, and would move the right side of her body forward to be able to extend her right arm towards Higoho's left shoulder. Careful not to simply go for the shoulder Setsuko would take her left hand from where it had blocked the first attack to have it ready for the next. It was dangerous enough that she was off of the stance that would assure her balance, but now she was vulnerable as she was beginning to lean forward with the attempt to strike his shoulder. [i]Tch, not even 5 minutes in, and I already have the sharp end of the sword pointed at me.[/i] Just by the looks if it her attack was weak, and was bound to be blocked. If it wasn't then she'd never be able to walk out of this without at least being able to celebrate it. 

On top of all of that though Setsuko wasn't used to seeing the chakra pathways with the byakugan as it was confusing in it's own way to her, but figured if this was practice then it'd be a good idea to learn a thing or two. Of course, she wouldn't tell Higoho that she would be looking for tips since his head was already big enough, and telling him would only increase the size which was not what her nor anyone else needed. It wasn't an actual fight because if it was then she'd be screwed ten times over, so keeping an open mind as well as "[i]work with what you got[/i]" was to come into play right about now.
