[ Whoa whoa whoa. Despite all her odd behaviour, it somehow didn't register with Kohaku that she might try and attack him. He must be truly tired, letting his guard down like that. Even though he moves in response, trying to avoid damage, he gets hit by her fist anyway. It aches, but it's not enough to knock him out or whatever she was intending. There is a second of stunned silence as he takes a step back, but then his response is immediate and it's a kick aimed at her.
He doesn't really think about why they're hurting each other when he acts. He's tired, he's worn out and even if it's the person who he trusts the most who attacks him, she's not getting special treatment. Both of them move horribly clumsy compared to their normal skill - his counterattack is a mockery of the force he normally kicks with. He's doing it for the action in itself, but even if it hit at full force, it wouldn't do much more damage than he'd taken from her. They're powerless, absolutely powerless. If they run amok now, they'll surely be NPCs again. The very thing they swore would never happen to them again is steps away from happening - he can't let that happen. ]
