Enough was enough. Sakura formed the seals for a shadow clone, immediately ducking around and under Rachel's bear arm. The switch out was fast, and suddenly Rachel was connecting with Sakura, sending her into the wall!

Only on impact, Sakura ceased to exist, an audible pop of disturbed air marking her passage into nonexistence.
