Intense Midnight training [Underdog]

The two rivals started to soon enough circle each other as soon enough the raven haired Akamatsu came charging towards her and shot that foot up, Belinda quickly ducked backwards with widened eyes as she hadn't expected things to start out this way...though after she backed up a step and she saw that the kick wouldn't have hit her even if she'd remained standing there, she would frown a bit as she looked on at Makie.

" Ohhh~ You're going to pay for that." Belinda let out in a teasing manner as she winked her eye towards her rival. When they both went forward and locked up with each other, Belinda would quickly try and slip underneath the lock up, and move up behind Makie, to wrap her arms around her waist...though instead she'd the pull back and give a light shove to Makie's back, looking to force her rival to stumble forward a bit. " Got you ~!"

As they grappled, Belinda suddenly twisted to the side. Before Makie could react, Belinda was behind her, and Makie gasped, bracing for a full nelson or a bear hug...only to instead recieve a playful shove from behind. Stumbling, Makie turned around and glared at her grinning opponent.

"Oh, hah hah," she pouted. Without waiting for Belinda to reply, however, Makie would dart forwards, aiming to take Belinda by surprise with a leg sweep. If she managed to down her opponent in this way, then she would try to catch her opponent's foot in midair and twist her over onto her front in a leg lock!

Belinda was simply looking to payback Makie from the fake out kick from earlier, as such she had decided to playfully shove her rival and it had worked out rather well, though it didn't seem as if Makie was very glad that she had done so.

It didn't really matter for the Swede, or well it might have but she didn't even get enough time to think about it before the young Amakatsu girl was on her. Darting at her and taking the Swede down with a surprise leg sweep, forcing the blond down onto her rear with a light thud. She shook her head and tried to quickly move up towards her feet but before she could Makie took a hold her foot and then twisted her leg into a leg lock! " Augh..." Belinda winced out as she'd try and bring her free leg up and attempt to kick at Makie to try and force her rival away from her.

Makie smiled a little as she grabbed a hold of Belinda's foot, twisting it as she locked in the leg lock. "Want me to let go? Just say the word," she said. This was still a spar, not a full-blown match, so Makie had no need to keep this hold locked and longer than she needed to. She figured that Belinda would know that too-- that a slap at the mat would simply mean that Makie would let go and continue the spar as normal, rather than an actual submission.

Belinda, though, seemed to have other ideas, lashing out with a kick that hammered Makie in the shin. "Ah!" she gasped, letting Belinda go and staggering away slightly. "Ahhhh, sonova..."

Belinda kicked down upon that shin and with it managed to get free, quickly moving backwards and trying to get up towards her feet...the Swede would move her leg about a little bit to make sure that it wasn't too badly off, it seemed fine for now.

After a bit of checking she'd raise her arms and look on at Makie, she didn't say anything for now, as she would quickly attempt to move in closer to Makie...looking as if she was going for a lock up and then instead tried to slip behind Makie again. Attempting to slip her arms up underneath those armpits and claps them against the back of Makie's head, trying to lock her rival into a firm full nelson submission hold, pressing her impressive breasts up against the Akamatsu girl's back.

Makie's shin throbbed a little after Belinda kicked it, and the Japanese girl gritted her teeth and put some weight on it to make sure Belinda hadn't hurt it seriously. Thankfully, there was no serious pain. As Belinda got up to her feet, she saw the Swede looking at her as though for a lockup: with a grin, Makie raised her arms and reciprocated. 

Except the wily Swede had other plans. In a blur of movement, Belinda zoomed past Makie. "Wha--" Makie cried in alarm, before her arms were wrenched back in a full nelson. She gasped as her arms were trapped, feeling the pressure build on her shoulder even as Belinda's frame pressed in against hers. She reacted quickly, though, stomping a foot down against one of Belinda's before dropping forwards, hoping to flip Belinda over her. If she managed that, then she hoped to turn the tables on the Swede by wrapping her up in a rear naked choke hold.

Belinda came in as quickly as she could and locked her slightly shorter rival up into a tightly locked full nelson, but Makie already had a counter ready, she stomped down hard on Belinda's foot, causing the Swede to yelp out and lose her focus, which gave Makie just enough time to throw her forward...practically hitting the Swede with a snapmare as she sent Belinda crashing down onto her butt.

" Ugh!" She groaned out as she quickly tried to push upwards but Makie was already on her with the arms of her rival wrapping tightly around her neck, and closing off her air ways...." MMgh!..." Belinda winced out as her feet started to kick against the mat, her hands moving up to try and pry away those arms from of neck...

Mika was grinning now as she clinched in the rear naked choke, her chin and cheek resting against the Swede's blonde head as she poured in the pressure. For added measure, she tried to trap one of Belinda's arms under hers as she kept a tight grip around the other girl's chin and throat as she pressed against Belinda's back.

"Come on, Belinda, tap," Makie said. "I've got you this round. No need to wear yourself out for the rest of the spar."

Belinda felt pretty trapped right now, in a normal match she'd have without a doubt started to fight her way out of the hold as much as she could...and a part of her really wanted to do it here and now, cause she didn't exactly want to have to tap to Makie...she was her rival after all! Still...Belinda kicked out with her legs and winced a little, before she finally brought her hand up and started to tap on Makie's arms.

" Give...give..." Belinda let out as she hoped that Makie would release her so that she could get some air into her lungs again.

Hearing the magic words, Makie let Belinda go. Dropping back into a sitting position, Makie took several deep breaths, wiping some of the sweat from her forehead as she gave Belinda time to recuperate as well. So far, in her opinion, this was a pretty good start to a decent warmup between the two of them.

"Not bad," she breathed. "If you wanted my help or advice, then all I can say is you left yourself open to that counter. I had you right where I wanted you, Swedish Princess."
