As she attacked, the shadow knight responded in-kind. Though, the shadow's blow was too slow to deliver a clean hit on her, possibly from being pushed back from Kill Rush, but it was enough to please Akane.[i][b]...Good[/b][/i], she grinned upon seeing that the shadow indeed had strength to'em.

While she attacked the knight, Rui went for the pot and from the looks of it, he was stopped as well. While the blow she received didn't cause her any serious damage, she was thankful when Kotori casted Diarama on her. As Akane's health was restored in the golden glow, she turned to Kotori and said her thanks.

From what they saw, the shadows concentrated their remaining numbers around the pot as if protecting it. They knight didn't seem to care, so she wondered if that one wasn't with the others. It wouldn't really surprise her if shadows, like humans, took different sides or went about things differently. Anyways, if they wanted to get at the pot, something needed to be done. 

Regardless of whether or not the knight was with the others, I don't think he'd just let them simply waltz near the pot. She made her thoughts known to Rui, thinking that if they wanted to get near the pot, they'd have to deal with the knight first or at least distance him from it. Though, it doesn't need to be said that Akane would rather fight with the knight than deal with the pot.
