It was old then. Tanigawa's "just grab the blade" was much more original, and poweful, as it shows that Yuki has
little regard for her physical body. Especially when it comes to Kyon, even at this point in the story. And a sword? What's wrong with a knife? Not "macho" enough (author hasn't seen any good knife fights then)? Or does male!Asakura have "compensation issues"?

Yare, yare... This is why I avoid fanfic...
Agreed. Especially since this is pretty much the first time Yuki is showing her powers. The fact that she doesn't even finch hits you hard that she's definitely not human!
