[Another parry as Akechi's gaze only brightens further. This is what he loves. The rush of adrenaline in combat, knowing that he's up against the one person who's ever managed to beat him -- there's nothing like it. Fighting Shadows can't compare to knowing his rival is in front of him, flesh and blood.
There aren't any extra flourishes to his swordwork this time, not like when he fought with a lumina saber and Robin Hood. This is all deliberate, a rush of motion as Akechi steps in, and in again, taking advantage of the reach of his sword to keep trying to force Ren back.]
