After being kicked, Rin was forced to step away from Rai.
Rai quickly regained her composure, ignoring her bleeding arm. Dashing forward, Rai closed the distance between her and Rin.
Holding tight to her sword, Rai prepared for a right horizontal slash. It was an obvious attack, an easy one to predict.
Even Rin had predicted the incoming attack, raising her sword she prepared to block the attack.
"Why are hitting me with such predictable attacks? I thought you were better than this," said Rin, disappointed.
"Sorry to disappoint you."
Stepping back, Rai again readied her sword for another vertical slash from the right. Rin again raised her sword preparing to block the attack.
"Like I said, It is easy to predict---"
In an instant, there was a flash. A flash of sword grazed the side of Rin's cheek. It was an attack that Rin saw coming and yet she couldn't stop it. Blood welled up on the cut that was caused by the sword.
