Sayuri hops back as soon as Ari first attack comes dodging it completely then raises her sword to block the next ones, [color=990000][i]'Not bad. Not much of an opening for either... This'll be fun!'[/i][/color] She continues to strike dodging around her strikes rather than blocking when possible. As the fight continued her smile got slightly more wild though her strikes were just as controlled. Deciding to take a risk she waits for a slightly higher below before dropping under the strike swinging her sword at Ari's leg before twisting it at the last second to aim for her side.
