Sarah Gatt's Open Challenge (for Tatyina)

Sarah saw the uppercut coming in time to stop, and would use her left arm to stop and gran Akashi's fist. If Akashi wanted to beat Sarah at her own game she'd have to stoop down to a whole other level, and do things Sarah loved doing.

With Akashi's arm still in her grasp Sarah would grin, pull Akashi in and then slam her elbow straight into the sumo's face.

Akashi was forced forward and as the elbow slammed into her, she could feel a small trickle of blood roll down her nose. Though temproarily blinded she grinned and reminded herself that Sarah really wasn't as great as she thought she was. After all the woman had tried to do worse with a lead pipe and had n ot succeeded. Surely an elbow would not stop the Sumo. She balled her other first, trying to stay close, and attempted to slam it into Sarah's side.

Sarah's grin grew wider when she saw first blood had been drawn. Like a bull that had seen red it got her excited. Then Akashi's fist slammed into her side, and she winced again. It was close to Sarah's kidneys,and that would have been painful. "You're a little out of your element here, sumo-bitch," Sarah cackled, and with that she'd send a swift punch directly into Akashi's throat.

Akashi's eyes widened as the punch hit her throat. She bakc up and began to cough. It would give Sarah a few seconds to hit Akashi, even though she was already begining to recover. A punch like that stunned more than it hurt.

Sarah would capatalize on Akashi's state immediately, quickly striding towards her so she could grip her tightly around the throat. If she managed that she would squeeze, even dig her nails into her flesh to weaken her a bit more. Sarah would then wink at Akashi, sending several punches into her gut while she was distracted by her throat.

Akashi was shocked when Sara grabbed her by the throat and her hands went up to try and pry the claws away. Though it was a dirty move, Akashi welcomed it. The dirtier she fought, the more determined she would be. She tried to push herself forward, but the gut punches slowed her considerably. She brought her hands down and held tightly onto Sarah's arms and then pulled her legs up. She was sure that Sarah couldn't hold all of Akashi's considrable weight just by the throat. She would fall backwards, and it would probably hurt , but she made sure to hold on tightly to Sarah's arms to keep her from escaping. Hopefully with her knees bent up, she would drive them deep into Sarah's chest when she slammed into the ground.

Sarah blinked in surprise when Akashi suddenly went down to the mat, and with her arms both caught she went down with her. Her eyes went wide with pain and surprise when both of the sumo's knees plowed into her chest, leaving her breathless and coughing. She would roll off of Akashi's knees, hands clutched over her chest to sooth the pain.

Akashi also rolled away and began coughing. She was desperate to get the air back in her lungs but knew that if she wasted too much time, she would be right back to square one. She needed to show Sarah that she was here to win. She pulled herself up, still partially recovered and ran at Sarah and aimed a kick right at her head. Though not outright ilegal, it was certainly a vicious move. She needed to send a message tot he brawler that even though seh wasn't going to fight dirty like Sarah, she was taking this match very seriously.

Sarah was just getting to her hands and knees when Akashi's running soccer-like kick nailed her in the side of the head. With a pained cry Sarah was sent sprawling back to the mat. Sarah had to admit, Akashi was good at getting down and dirty.

Rolling when she fell Sarah sprung back to a crouching position. She felt the side of her head, and felt that she was bleeding there. Upon discovery she grinned, and laughed in an almost crazy way. This fight was just getting started.

Akashi clenched her fists, panting as she saw the foot connect. When Sarah was back up, Akashi grinned. "Good to see that didn't put you down." She said with a smirk. The fight really had her pumped and even though getting Sarah down quicly probably would be better in the long run, she secretly wanted to enjoy the fight for as long as she could. She charged at Sarah again, this time she would not go for a punch or kick but instead launch her whole body at Sarah in a flying tackle.
