(For the record, I did edit my previous post and removed Akita's ki blast attack, but don't worry about editing your post.  Let's just keep going like Gin didn't get his back and cape burned.  Sorry about that.)

Akita crossed her arms over her chest to form an "X" and took the hammer's blow.  The pain in her arms wasn't extreme, but it was enough to be very distracting.  [i]Focus on him, not the pain.[/i]  Once she had absorbed the whole blow, Akita raced to Gin.  When she was about a foot away from him, she dropped down on her right leg, keeping her left leg straight and bending her right to create a "4", and slid between his legs.  She caught both in a much harder than needed grip and dragged them with her as best as she could, hoping to knock him to the ground.  She wasn't exactly a ground fighter, but if she could throw him off his game, then this was what she had to do.  She popped up from the ground and faced Gin.
