AV 17 Kawaii Title: Claire St. Clair (c) vs. Mikagami "Micca" Arashio

Micca's effort finally bore fruits after landing blows after blows on Claire. She managed to get herself sitting on her, straddling on her stomach. Still holding both pillows in her hands, she was in a very advantageous position over the kawaii champion, and she was looking to finish up this match in the most spectacular way possible. With both vorpal pillows in hands, she was planning to have them smothering Claire, making no room for her to escape.

"Take this, yaahh!!!" Micca yelled out cutely as she would shove the pillows onto Claire's face, both at the same time, stacking one on top the other to ensure that Claire would get no room to breathe. She would make use of her weight to keep the pillows pinned on Claire's face, looking to smother her in order to secure her win!

Claire still had her pillow to defend herself with even as Micca established herself on top of Claire, straddling her and using her slight kawaii weight to pin Claire down on the floor. And those two pillows now hung over Claire ominously, ready to come down on her and whack her totally silly...or, it seemed, to smother her out, as Micca piled up the two pillows together and then brought them downward, trying to cover up Claire's face, trying to smother her into unconsciousness and take the title away from the New England-born girl!

Claire squealed in shock as she quickly brought her own pillow up, holding it with two hands, blocking those two pillows from crossing the last few inches down to swallow up Claire's face. Claire managed to stop the smother attempt, but...she couldn't do anything but keep Micca from dropping those pillows on her face. Her arms were already starting to tremble—a sign of just how tiring this match had been—as she struggled to keep her face clear of those fluffy weapons.

"N-no way...!" she groaned softly, wiggling around, trying to find every ounce of extra strength she could...!

Micca frowned when her double pillow attack had been stopped by Claire's pillow, but she knew that she could only endure so much before submitting. To be fair, Micca herself was feeling rather tired after enduring everything from the kawaii champion, but at the moment, she was at the top, and if she could make the champion submit to her, then the title would be hers. Shaking her head to focus herself on the match, she would lift her pillows up a bit.

"Take this!!" Micca yelled as she would thrust both pillows down again, hoping that the impact from the second double pillow attack would allow her to break through Claire's defense, allowing her to engulf that cute face of hers with her vorpal fluffiness of doom. She would keep herself on top of her midsection, pinning her down in order to keep Claire down there. Just to add more to the torture, Micca planned to bounce on top of Claire's stomach, making it more difficult for the champion to resist her.

Claire's resistance just could not quite compensate both for Micca's strength and the force of gravity. As the Japanese girl shoved both of her pillows down on top of Claire's single defensive pillow, the New England girl felt fatigue starting to get to her, as her arms shook and her pillow slowly descended towards her face. Even if Micca was in worse shape, Claire just couldn't take advantage of it!

And now both of those pillows engulfed her face, one from each side, covering up her nose and mouth! And Micca didn't stay still on top, as she started bouncing on Claire's belly, forcing cute but increasingly panicked little squeaks, yelps, and grunts out of Claire's mouth and into the smothering pillows! Claire's own pillow fell down over her head, as she wiggled her whole body as wildly as she could, trying desperately to escape before something much worse happened to her...!

"Mmmmmff!"

Micca knew that she could do it here. With her bouncing on Claire's belly while smothering her face with two pillows, it was clear now that the champion had no way to go and no way to get Micca off of her. Still, she hadn't submitted to her yet, and Micca couldn't stay at the top forever. She needed to keep this up in order to force a submission out of her. And her struggling made it hard for Micca to keep herself on top of her.

"Come on now!! Submit!!" Micca yelled, pressing both pillows on Claire's face as she kept on bouncing on her midsection. She knew that if she kept doing this, the kawaii champion would eventually succumb before submitting. She knew that she could keep it up, unless if something unexpected happened.

Claire was in trouble, as the bouncing compressed her lungs and forced air that she needed to last through the end of the fight out of them, and the pillows swallowed up any chance she had of getting any more air to replace what was lost. It was a classic AFW position, adapted to the realities of kawaii and pillow fighting, and Micca was doing an excellent job. As much of an underdog as she was, she was pushing Claire as hard as almost any of her opponents ever had. So Claire had to fight harder still to beat her.

While kawaii fights usually devolved into slapfights and humiliation and rolling around, Claire did have some experience with real wrestling. And she knew that there was one good option she still had to escape this position. She would have to move fast. She tensed up, then kicked off of the floor and swung her legs upward, trying to bend them back towards her and wrap them around Micca's waist! If she could get those legs around her foe, she would tighten them, then twist to the side, trying to toss Micca off of her and escape from the smother!

Micca was certain in her own victory for this as she kept the pillows pressed on Claire's face while she bounced up and down on her belly. What she didn't expect was Claire kicking up her legs, wrapping them around her waist before she was tossed off of her, thrown onto the carpeted floor. "Uwaaahhh!!!" Micca squealed before she landed on the carpet, and she let out a cute grunt. "Uuungfft!!" She was left dazed for a few seconds, confused on what was happening.

When she regained her bearing, she knew that staying idle would spell disaster to her. Knowing that Claire would come to her and attack her, Micca immediately backpedaled, distancing herself from Claire as she frantically reached for anything that she could use as a weapon. In her desperation, she grabbed one of the plushie dolls that they brought at the start of the match, and thinking that she might have grabbed a pillow, she would use it as her shield against whatever Claire would throw at her.

Unfortunately for Claire, she couldn't go after Micca right away. The Japanese girl's smother had taken a lot out of Claire, and the New Englander was beginning to realize how long this match had gone on so far. Her muscles were starting to burn as all of that kawaii energy was beginning to run out. This fight wouldn't last for another hour. It wouldn't last for another ten minutes. Claire had to make sure she was the one who landed the next blow and took the lead, and that Micca was the one who submitted to her pillow-fighting prowess.

Micca was on the retreat right now, having lost both her pillows in Claire's escape, but she didn't stay unarmed. She grabbed at the stuffed animals at the foot of the bed, picking up Claire's black teddy bear and holding it in front of her as a shield! Claire huffed and narrowed her eyes, as she crawled forward and grabbed Micca's white bunny from the foot of the bed so that she would have a "hostage," too, holding it up in front of her and swinging it threateningly.

"Alright, let's go..." Claire would grunt, before she sprang forward, swinging the top hat-wearing bunny right at Micca's head!

Micca narrowed her eyes when Claire took her top hat-wearing plush bunny as a hostage, though she also did the same to Claire's teddy bear. Knowing that the two of them were already exhausted from the extended clash, she figured that this match would soon end with either of them winning, either retaining or gaining the title.

When Claire sprang forward and swung the bunny at Micca, she would try to dodge the attack, but she ended up taking a blow to the side of her head, probably due to her exhaustion. "Uunnfhh!!" Even so, Micca wasn't one to just take the blow without giving something in return. So, right after Claire hit her with her bunny, Micca would try to swing the teddy bear right at her head in retaliation!

"Take this!" Micca bellowed, hoping that the teddy bear attack would be enough to take quite a lot out of the kawaii champion.

Claire nailed Micca in the side of the head with her own bunny, snapping her head to the side. The Japanese girl was clearly struggling...but Claire was sad to say that she was not in spectacular shape herself. So when Micca managed to stay up on her knees and retaliated by swinging Claire's own teddy bear at her, and Claire tried to bound out of the way, it was no surprise that, like her opponent, her exhaustion got the better of her. The bear smacked hard into the side of her head, making it spin a little bit. "Guuuurrff!" she groaned, as she wobbled a little bit from the blow.

Narrowing her eyes, Claire got Micca in her sights. This match had seen quite a few twists and turns, but it seemed like everything was coming to a head. Both of them were reaching the end of their endurance. They both had the other's stuffed animal in their clutches, and were using it as a weapon to try to end the fight. Some was going down and giving into the other's plush assault. "So this is it, huh?" Claire would grumble, before taking a deep breath and nodding. She dropped the bunny down from the defensive position she held it in, leaving her head completely exposed: an easy target for Micca's attacks. And Claire wouldn't defend herself, assuming Micca took the invitation and dropped her guard, too. It was an extreme offer: neither of them defend, and see who could take more punishment from the stuffed animal the other was holding. Both of them swing for the fences and try to knock the other's head off her shoulders.

It was extreme. But it was time. They were both exhausted, and it was time to decide a champion! "Better be ready..." Claire growled, before she swung the bunny again at Micca's face, trying to throw her head to one side, then swing back the other way and smack it back in the other direction—going for a double hit!
