[ that kick makes him recoil with a 'tch' leaving from his lips. he only shoots Tsurumaru an icy glare because he failed in delivering a good stab. well, fine. ]
If you want to avoid death you should just let me have you.
[ a simple request! really! because he's 100% determine to kill Tsurumaru. ] Then I can go and kill the 'Hijikata' you love so much... Wouldn't you rather die together?
[ a scoff. he really isn't going to wait for Tsurumaru to answer, even if he magically felt like complying despite dodging the first strike. so Tsurumaru can bluff all he wants but Hijikata is going to close the distance between them with swift steps. using Horikawa means he does have to get closer to make cuts that matter, so... this might be dangerous.
but he'll aim higher with another thrust forward -- this time aiming for the arm or shoulder, to clearly disarm him. ]
FATHEr....
