I was wondering about this myself. She knows she has healing abilities that are not normal. It seems difficult to believe she found that out on the bridge (she seemed less surprised than frightened that Hijikata would find out). It does seem she might have been hoping she would survive the sword attacks.
And again this leads me to my earlier question: doesn't she seem more threatened by the blonde oni than by actual physical attacks? Not only did she prepare to draw her sword against him, but she struck an uncharacteristically aggressive pose with the broom when he showed up by the pool.
It's like she doesn't consider humans a threat.
