Tension in Ueno: Cross-Promotion 2 out of 3 Falls Match: Suzumi Ishikawa vs Kyo Akamatsu

Suzumi kept squirming and Kyo showed that he had a great ring awareness, wrapping up her free leg to keep her from kicking him with it! She tried to sit up and pry at his powerful grip, but that was not happening. Suzumi let out another shriek as she saw the ropes close by. She reached out and fell just short. Her breathing was heavy at this point as the pain continued to mount up. She had to do something...

Suzumi let out a cry as she leaned over one way, then twisted back over as hard as she could, hoping to roll them over to get closer to the ropes, reaching out to try to catch a rope break! Kyo was proving to be a tough opponent, and Suzumi's former confidence that bordered on being cocky was gone. That hold was brutal, and if she couldn't keep the pressure on him he would quickly even the score...

Kyo managed to transition the hold into a legspread, pouring pressure into her legs and groin as he forced her legs apart in a painful submission hold (though it did not occur to him that this position might also be quite embarassing for Suzumi). Even as he worked the Tsunami over further, however, Suzumi managed to reach back, barely managing to snag the bottom rope. At this point, the ref girl tapped Kyo's shoulder, ordering him to break.

Taking a deep breath, Kyo rolled up to his feet, and grabbed at Suzumi's arm to "help" her to her feet. "In answer to your earlier question," he whispered, suddenly feeling a little more confident, "you weren't my favourite Angel, but I did always enjoy your matches. I learned a move or two from watching them." Pressing her against the ropes...and inadvertently giving Suzumi a close feel for his pecs....Kyo would whip the Tsunaim across the ring, aiming to catch her in an abdominal stretch as she bounced back!

Suzumi was pulled up to her feet, her legs and lower lumbar area too sore for her to offer much resistance. She groaned in response to his words, again unable to shoot back with any sort of verbal comeback. Suzumi was sent flying across the ring as she bounced off the ropes, flying right back at Kyo!

She was once again caught in Kyo's clutches before she knew it! She let out another loud scream of pain as her abdomen felt like it was being torn in half! She was in serious trouble if she couldn't work her way out of this! Right now Kyo was the aggressor, and his technique was looking much sharper than her own! As she kept groaning as the torment mounted. Suzumi grunted, trying to work her leg in front of Kyo and take away some of the pressure...

IF she could worm her way into that position, she would try to continue to position herself placing her hip and leg in front of Kyo's in an attempt to hip-toss him to the mat, escaping from this painful hold!

Kyo's plan went off without a hitch, as he was able to spin behind Suzumi as she came bouncing back, slide one leg around hers, and twist her sideways in an abdominal stretch! As the slender Tsunami was bent sideways, Kyo took a deep breath and torqued the hold further, adding to Suzumi's agony. For good measure, he dug an elbow into her side, grinding it just below her ribs to make the hold all the more unbearable.

Suzumi's response was unexpected, as she manouvered herself so that her leg and hip were closer to the front. This led to her butt rubbing unexpectedly against his crotch, causing him to redden. "H-hey, stop that--" was all he could say, before he suddenly went flying head over heels, flipped over by Suzumi's hip toss! The move sent him crashing onto his back with a loud crash. "UGH!"

Suzumi kept hold of Kyo's arm as she tossed him down, quickly falling down wrapping her legs around it and extending them across his chest as she pulled back on the arm with her own! An armbar wasn't the most exciting thing, but it worked and that is what Suzumi needed right now, reliability. She winked to the cheering crowd and grinned, having regained some precious control in this submission battle!

Before Kyo could right himself, Suzumi was on him, scissoring her long legs around his arm and stretching it painful armbar. He gritted his teeth, stifling a scream of pain as he clutched his shoulder, arching up off the mat and kicking his legs as his arm felt like it was being pulled from its socket. Knowing that his only way to escape was a rope break, he began trying to pull himself towards the ropes, hoping to extend a leg and snag the bottom rope...

Suzumi applied as much pressure as she could, wracking up as much pain on her foe as she could. Then came the rope break. Suzumi let go and backed off Kyo, letting him get up to his feet. She needed a pick me up, her body was worn and she was having trouble standing up herself...

Suzumi took the time to held her arms out and strut around in a small circle, keeping her eye on Kyo as the fans cheered and whistled at her! She took in all the positive energy and good will from everyone. Having everyone behind her gave her a boost, and she knew she would need one right about now. "Come on Kyo.... show me whatcha got...." Suzumi said through her deep breaths as she tried to recover as much stamina as she could. She readied herself for whatever Kyo was going to throw at her, intent on trying her best to catch him in something... anything.... that would lead to a second submission!

Kyo let out a gasp of relief as his arm was finally released. He rolled up to the ropes, clutching his shoulder as he winced in pain. Suzumi's long legs had a lot of power behind them, as his arm felt like it had been nearly wrenched from its socket. Clenching his teeth, he grabbed the ropes to pull himself up, already seeing Suzumi strut proudly in the center of the ring.

With a deep breath, Kyo mustered what strength he still had and burst forward in a charge, aiming a knee at Suzumi's midsection. If this managed to stun her, then he would spin behind her, trying to grab her chin in one hand and her knee in another, before trying to hoist her up and stretch her across his shoulder! After what Suzumi had done to his arm, however, Kyo was unsure of how long he could maintain this hold...

Suzumi was ready and as Kyo ran at her she expected some sort of hold or other tactic.... not a straightforward strike! She gasped as his knee hit her had and was doubled over when she was grabbed from behind! She let out a scream as she was hoisted up into the air and stretched out across Kyo's shoulder! This was one hold where the size difference was really coming into play! Suzumi flailed about, unable to grab onto Kyo or to wriggle free!

She was stuck, and her body throbbed with increasing pain with he passing of each second. She screamed out again, doing her best to resist the urge to tap! She had to think of something, and fast! Unfortunately for Suzumi her aching body was making it very difficult to focus!

Kyo held his breath as he draped Suzumi's body across his shoulders, hearing her shriek as he stretched her slender body against his. By this point, he felt his previously-mauled arm begin to ache from the exertion he was putting on it, and for a moment, it felt difficult to maintain this hold. Suzumi's flailing and kicking didn't help: every thrashing movement of her body made his grip weaken further and further. Finally, he released the hold, letting the Tsunami fall to the mat.

Stepping away from Suzumi and rotating his shoulder, he tried to ignore the soreness and focus back on Suzumi. He'd try to push her onto her front, and, if he managed that, he'd move to grab one of his legs, pull back on it, and, sitting on Suzumi's back, stretch her leg across his shoulder in a stretch muffler! Holding his breath, he would stretch Suzumi's lean body back, and the audience held their breath as they waited to see if Suzumi would make it to the ropes...
