The New Guy meets SEME!

"Clean?! Shido laughed. "I still have scars from when you clawed my hands!"

Shido hopped in place for a moment after Hikaru had begun the match, trying to figure out what kind of strategy Ryuu and Mitsuru would employ. He would circle the ring with Mitsuru, trying to get a feel for her talents and in ring ability. "So... Are you the leader?" he would ask while trying to close the gap between them to get the match underway.

"That's correct" Mitsuru replied as she flipped her hair over her shoulder. She matched Shido's pace as they circled each other about the ring, looking for openings and opportunities to make the first strike. Like a coiled cobra, Mitsuru made sure to keep an opportune distance between herself and her opponent. When she was ready, she could dart in and strike with precision.

"I created the team and scouted its members. What about you? Any dreams of a team yourself?" she asked calmly, making no indication she was going to strike first. The first move would be his to make.

Shido gave a quick glance to the ref and her partner in the corner.

"I see you have an eye for talent....if the opportunity presents itself, a team sounds like a lot of fun!" He'd exclaim. He tried to take note of what Mitsuru was going for, but he couldn't yet get a read on her. Shido would move in closer and attempt to lock up with her, hoping to gauge her strength.

"Well then, maybe one day we'll face each other in a tag match" Mitsuru watched as Shido observed her just as carefully as she did him, so he had a bit of a strategic mind too. The newcomer closed in following his statements, arms up raised in what looked like an attempt to initiate an old-fashioned lock-up. Mitsuru raised her arms like she would take his offer, but then spun herself round and delivered a sharp kick to Shido's abdomen, using the length of her legs to avoid letting him get ahold of her core.

Shido kept trying to inch towards Mitsuru, trying to close the distance, still hoping to lock up with her. He would notice Mitsuru seemed to be going along with this and extended his arms to meet hers, only to be answered with a swift spin kick!

Shido had tried to back away, but was still hit with the brunt of the kick to his midsection. He held his stomach for a second and  said
"Haha, that's pretty funny. Hikaru had hit me with a similar kick in our match. Yours was very well spaced, though, I have to say. I couldn't counter it like I did with his.  

He'd try to circle the ring with her yet again and had planned to charge at her when she was passing the corner opposite from Ryuu. If successful, he'd wrap his arms around her waist to try to carry her into that corner, bringing her as far from her partner as possible!

"Who do you think taught it to him?" she answered with a coy smile, returning to a ready position as soon as her kick had struck him. It made her somewhat proud for Hikaru to copy one of her techniques, after all imitation was the highest form of flattery.

The two returned to circling ominously and again Shido took the initiative. He dove right in and grabbed her around the waist so he could carry her farther from her tag partner. It was a good strategy, but in the process he had left his entire backside open. Mitsuru pinpointed a spot between Shido's collarbone and the beginning of his neck, a nice little pressure point for her to exploit and drove her elbow mercilessly down into the space.

Shido smiled, acknowledging her comment as she moved forward to charge at her.

Mitsuru's precision strike caught him off guard, as it caused Shido to clench his teeth and inhale in pain! On instinct, alone he reacted by dropping to one knee instead of letting her blow do that for him. If this mitigated the blow didn't slow him down too hard, he'd reach to grab Mitsuru's ankles and try to sweep her off her feet, taking her down to the mat with him!

Shido dropped down to a knee after Mitsuru's strike, but he continued with his momentum and tried to unseat her by grabbing for her ankles. She braced herself by clasping her hands behind Shido's neck and then allowed him to do just that. Now she was primed to get a nice bodyscissors on him as they went down together, and she switched from bracing herself to grabbing Shido's left arm and wrenching it behind his back.

His face would end up between her breasts thanks to the way they fell, but she wasn't bothered the slightest. She had cut off his retreat with the bodyscissors and limited his attempts to attack by getting his left arm into a hammerlock. And to top it all off, she still had a free arm! But for now, she used both hands to secure the hammerlock, for surely Shido wasn't giving the arm up without a fight.

Shido had hoped to catch Mitsuru off guard by getting her off her feet, but she didn't seem to miss a beat! Still wincing from the elbow strike, Shido found himself trapped between a pair of strong thighs in a bodyscissor submission!

"Huh?" the kid gasped in surprise she followed up immediately by wrenching his arm into a hammer lock! It was almost as if she had planned this from the start! Ordinarily, a countermeasure would be on Shido's mind, but his head was quite literally in other places, right now.

Shido's face would become flushed with a bright red color as his head was now buried within Mitsuru's bosom! The embarrassment he experienced caused him to drop his guard, making him lose the leverage he had while he was on his knees. He was now lying down on top of Mitsuru, bring worked over and taking even more punishment from the scissor and hammer lock due to him not having braced himself and given up the position he had on his knees.

Some of his wits would return to him as the pain in his arm and midsection would remind him that he needs to fight! He would then try to place his knees and free arm on the ground and roll onto his back, hoping to get the arm Mitsuru was working on away from her and free of the hammer lock, as it would now be behind his back on the ground. It would be a trade off, as it would place his opponent on top of him with his face still glowing red, but the chance that it would free his arm made his instincts go with it!

Naturally Mitsuru noticed Shido's flustered reaction to faceplanting in her breasts, she'd be sure to exploit that particular weakness later. However, unlike some Tension wrestlers who crumpled the moment they saw boobs, Shido seemed to regain his composure enough to keep fighting. He used his free arm to push and shove and reverse their positions!

With Shido below her, it made it more difficult to maintain her bodyscissors effectively, though he had now pinned his own arm with their combined body weight. With that off her case, she transitioned to a new target, that remaining free arm.

Mitsuru worked to get the arm held up straight towards the ceiling. She abandoned her bodyscissors to scoot in, holding the arm lengthwise against her body. She then rolled to the side and brought the arm with her as she switched to an armbar.
