The lunge wasn't too unexpected. The momentum behind it, however, was a completely different story. She'd tried to keep her balance. Were this any other situation let alone creature she were against,<i>maybe</i>. But just as she'd gone into a fighting mode of sorts, the damn oni had entered it's own hunting one. With a light "Ngh!", Shohana landed on her back, panting slightly. To make up for having failed to remain standing on her feet, however, her grip on her swords had firmly remained in place.<br/><br/>It was clear she wouldn't mind allowing certain things to work and others to fail. But no damn way would she easily let herself be disarmed. Nu-uh. It'd spell out too many things, none of which appealed to the samurai at all.<br/><br/>Her head shook. She didn't want to think on those. Besides, now wasn't the time. Her hand shook slightly as Shohana forced them to remain in front of her respective upper and lower bodies, trying desperately to keep each area protected. The additional weight from the demon wasn't exactly helping. Quick, struggled pants left her lips as she tried to push the creature off of her. She needed to get back up, regain the advantages she lost. None of that could be done, not here nor like this.<br/><br/>(Ahh ... well ... you can post reactions but yeah. I personally thought we were still gonna keep the order. But whatever you're most comfortable with works)
