[ Yato was hoping that Yamato would be unaware enough of his surroundings to back himself into the tree, but it seems he was trying to lead Yato there all along... The little punk. The motion of Yamato's high swing comes from the corner of his eye, and Yato lets his momentum drop his upper body forward, praying that it will be enough to duck Yamato's bokuto.
When he feels the quiet swish of Yamato's attack passing overhead, he rises and spins for a wide swipe at Yamato's midsection. To get Yamato to back up, he hopes, because Yato doesn't like how this tree is restricting his movement.
If Yamato indeed retreats, Yato will press the attack again, spying a big rock he might be able to trip Yamato up on... If Yato's swing is parried, then -- welp, he's backpedaling the hell away. ]
[A PUNK INDEED as is Yato, this is PvP, Punk vs Punk.]
Tch--! [He isn't really short enough to pull off the kind of quick spins and counters that some of his peers excel in, but he's fast enough to block, at least. Yato's strength nullifies his own momentum, though, and he does retreat, though he doesn't revert back to complete defense, as he'd done earlier. He switches back to offense as soon as he can, aiming quick little jabs in between blocking Yato's attacks.
It's a risk, but when he thinks he sees an opening, he'll swing a leg, trying to sweep Yato off his feet. (Ooh la la)]
