Genkai anticipated a behind-blind-shot attack and had lifted her right knee the moment the boy dissapeared. Her Ushiro-giri (back-kick) was caught in his hand. Ichigo wasn't surprised considering her intense aura. She immediately threw a round-house with the left leg and it clanged against the hilt of Ichigo's sword.

Ichigo: "Heh,"
Genkai: "Ha-HA..."

Suddenly there was intense light glowing near the two fighters. The source came from Genkai. But instead of her merely "powering up" it was...concentrated in her finger! The Old Woman had taken not one, but two steps ahead of Ichigo. She already had it loaded and aimed dead towards his chest; legs still in the air. Her feet kept him occupied:

-The right foot in his hand.
-The left leg weighing down the sword slightly.

She saw the boy was stunned by the display of light but not frightened. "Strong, determined, and brave. Yep, even if you turn out to be more powerfull I know how to deal with your type,". She released the Rei-Blast at 50% full-power.

It is point-blank range. Can Ichigo come up with something?!
