This young man seemed to have a good eye for battle. At the time when they'd both been members of the 11th Division and Baiken still had the use of her dominate arm, she might have really killed him in battle regardless of the skill he'd always possessed. Even so, she admired his spirit as a warrior and when he mentioned that he thought she was trying to end this a bit of a smirk crossed the woman's face. "There is only so much blood that can be split without this whole thing spinning towards the 'we're trying to kill each other' range. My Captain wouldn't like it, if it went too far off course," the woman said. Regardless of her present situation she'd come to respect Ayatsuki Akiko greatly specially for the development of her 'Demon Tool'. Moving right along, it seemed the boy was now ready to meet her, his own Reiatsu flaring and it taking a rather strange effect on his body. 'That isn't right, blood doesn't thin at this point... it should be clotting,' she thought. It was quite strange, Baiken specialized in knowledge of blood and had done all the experiments and studies on it in her time in the 12th Division, but she'd never seen anything which would cause this sort of thing.
Still now was the time, and with that in mind and her preparations made she launched herself forward, aiming a mighty slash across the young man's person. The blades of her weapon seemed to have been reinforced by the blood previously spilled making them sharper, straighter and more deadly as she decisively aimed to cut the young man from his left hip up to his right shoulder in what had the potential to be a rather crippling blow, even if it was blocked.
