[ Soujirou is surprised (but pleased, definitely pleased), but like Kaoru, he won't stop so easily. As soon as blade bites into skin, Soujirou knows it won't be anything enough to be a serious wound, so he's bounding back once more and gone again. This is still slow, in his opinion, several steps short of the real thing, but Kaoru is struggling enough with this by trying to protect Chizuru. At the very least, Soujirou isn't a dishonorable fighter, so he won't actually go after Chizuru as long as he's fighting Kaoru.
The disorienting steps start again as Soujirou darts around, but the last step before he closes in on Kaoru again comes from a nearby building, a crater indented in its face as Soujirou pushes off of that. It launches him even more quickly towards Kaoru, since he's intending to run his sword right through him. ]
