[ have you seen Hijikata's hair... look, this is where Kanesada gets it from!!! ]
[ but Doutanuki's block isn't going to push him back. Hijikata locks his blade with Doutanuki's. with as much force as he can put into his own blade, inching closer to see if Doutanuki will step back. ]
Just because you fought one of my swords doesn't mean you'll best me. [ you've said it now Doutanuki. it sounds like a challenge to Hijikata! and he's extremely competitive once you get to know him, so it looks like he'll have to step it up a notch! but of course, if their blades stay like this they're not going to get anywhere. however, in a situation like this, one must be pretty careful: a misstep can cause a serious injury. his eyes flicker to the sides, analyzing his surroundings and their positions carefully aaand-
Hijikata puts the rest of his strength to push against the opponent's sword to throw him off- if that wasn't enough he even simultaneously sweeps his feet across the ground in an attempt to trip Doutanuki (or throw off his balance).
Once his blade is free he'll lift it up over his head and bring it down for an immediate strike. ]
