Don't Anger The Bear: Kyo Akamatsu vs Shin Utaka

Kyo's compliment was met with a stiff remark as the bear got back to his feet. Unsurprising: Kyo figured that Shin wasn't the type to engage in banter of even the friendly variety, and her demeanour seemed prickly and defensive. "I don't intend to," he replied all the same, slowly circling the big girl as she returned to the center of the ring. Around them, the crowd clapped, quite enjoying the clash of skill and sportsmanship that was going on so far between Kyo and this newcomer.

And then, suddenly, he would exploded into movement, raising an arm as though to fake a clothesline. At the last second, though, he would drop low, trying to snap his ankles around Shin's to unbalance her and drop her onto her front! If he managed that, then he would waste no time rolling up against her back, trying to slide his arms under her armpits and locking his hands behind her neck in a hammerlock submission.

Of course, in the process of this, his crotch would end up grinding slightly against Shin's ass...though Kyo would be more focused on trying to lock in a hold on the giantess than on anything like that...

In a scene of trading positions, and then submissions. The two technical experts ended up back where they began, though maybe with a few stiff and aching limbs. It wasn’t long after Shin had refocused herself that Kyo exploded forwards, taking initiative this time around against the much bigger ravenette.

She tensed as she prepared to counter what looked to be an incoming clothesline. Her eyes widened however when at the last moment, Kyo instead slid down and tripped up the bears legs. Falling forward, Shin managed to catch herself on her hands and knees. Though she was eventually forced to fall flat as the weight of her opponent fell on top of her.

She could feel him clambering to grab a hold on her, and she was doing everything she could to fight back. Her arm reaching up and wrapping around the back of his head as she prepared to roll him in front of her. “Mmm!” She gasped as she felt something grinding against her rear. However she quickly refocused herself and would yank Kyo forward into a sitting position. She would try to climb up behind him and wrap his head in a headlock.

Unintentionally pressing his face against her breasts.

Shin went down yet again with a crash that shook the ring. In an instant, Kyo was leaping on top of her, not wanting to give her a chance to recover: while some may have called it suicide to try ground-based grappling against an opponent of Shin's size, Kyo wasn't going to turn down a challenge, and besides...he had more than a few good holds in store that Shin's superior size would be useless against.

Unfortunately, however, Shin recovered quickly: even as he tried to slide his arms under her armpits to lock in a hammerlock, she reached back, grabbed his head, and knelt up....all in the same, single quick movement. Damn, she's good, he though, just before he was unceremoniously flipped down in front of her, wincing as his taiblone slammed against the mat. Soon he was doing a lot more than wincing, however, as Shin's powerful arms suddenly wrapped around his throat in a read naked choke hold.

"Nnnnngh!" he grunted, his air circulation suddenly cut off. To make matters somewhat worse, his head had been twisted to the side a little by Shin's hold, causing his face to press back a little against Shin's generous bosom. Red-faced from both the lack of air and the close contact, Kyo would grab at Shin's wrists and struggle and twist against her, inadvertently causing his head to rub against her chest. Of course, his struggles were a distraction from his true goal: to force Shin to lean forward, just enough so that he could kick his legs back, snap them around her head, and try to take her down to the mat in a head scissor.

Of course, if he failed to latch on with those scissors, then he would be content to try to drive his knees up into her face instead...

Shin wasn’t going to just lay there and let Kyo trap her in another painful hold. She struggled and fought and soon enough was able to shove him off. Rolling him in front of her so she could quickly wrap her arms around his head and squeezing tight. Unintentionally pressing his face against her breasts, though Shin herself didn’t realize.

This hold was meant to be more of a placeholder hold than anything more. A hold to keep Kyo in place while she thought of what to do next. Kyo however, wasn’t going to wait for that and before Shin realized it, his legs had shot up and suddenly wrapped around her head. Yanking her forwards into a roll.

Her back hit the canvas and her arms immediately began to try prying at her opponents legs. Hopefully able to make some progress before he squeezed down too much. But as an added insurance policy, Shins legs would compress in before shooting out straight for Kyo’s chest.

If all went to plan, then Shin would roll away and to one knee facing her opponent. The crowd cheering from the impressive display of trading between the two competitors.

For a brief moment, Kyo was trapped between a rock and a...well...maybe not a hard place, but he couldn't deny it was very hard to focus on escape while feeling Shin's tightly-clad orbs pressing against his cheet. Red-faced and breathing hard from both the distraction and from the powerfully muscled arm around his neck, Kyo nonetheless managed to lock his legs around Shin's head after kicking up. In the process, he might have brought Shin's face a little too close to his crotch, but he had no way of knowing or caring about that as he rolled the amazon up...

...only for her knees to thud hard into his chest. He gasped for air, and was sent rolling sideways, skidding across the mat away from her. Wheezing, he flopped onto his front. As Shin started to get up to her knees, he gingerly pushed himself up to his hands and knees as well, breathing hard after taking those hard knees to the chest.

"You're...good..." he rasped, finally admitted out loud what he had been thinking for this whole match.

If Shin wasn’t so focused on the heat of the moment, the adrenaline flowing through her as her mind raced to out counter her opponent. She probably would have blushed like a schoolgirl at the way her body rubbed and grinded against her opponents, his head against her breasts or his crotch against her face.

But she was too focused on the now to notice, just like Kyo was. Before he could capitalize on his position, the bear managed to slam her knees into his face and knock him away. Quickly rolling a small distance as well, shin would shift to one knee facing her technically sound opponent.

“......Thanks. You’re not bad yourself.” Shin panted in response to Kyo’s compliment. All around them the crowd cheered as they were impressed by the technical skill of the two competitors. But this was only a small break, Shin would eventually stand back to her full height ready for the next round.

For the third time in this match, the two wrestlers rolled away from one another, leaving themselves both a respectful distance with which to return to their feet. Kyo was a bit slower to get back up than Shin after having taken those two boots directly to his chest: all the same, he suppressed the urge to smile as Shin returned his compliment. The raven-haired beauty was many things, Kyo noted, and one of them was an honorable combatant.

Still, she was also presenting him with a difficult challenge. So far, Kyo had discovered that she was a lot faster than she looked, and had technical skills to rival his own. Any advantages Kyo would have had against any other opponent were useless against her. As he rose to his feet, he realized that if he was going to win this, he might very well have to improvise.

As he stood back up, he circled Shin again, arms raised as he watched her carefully...and then darted forwards. He knew that Shin might be getting wise to his fake-ups by now, so this time he didn't try to spin to the side or drop low: instead, he seemingly came right at her, intent on an aggressive lock-up...

...and instead tried to drive his knee hard into her midsection. If this was enough to make the Bear double over, then he would drop back, grab her by the wrist, and kick his legs up around it, trying to flip her over onto her back and lock in an armbar!

Kyo would have no idea just how much the Bear’s blood was pumping from these intense exchanges. She and her opponent were on even footing, neither managing to gain enough ground to take hold onto f the match. And when one of them did, it wouldn’t be long before the other reverses it and brought the two back to square one.

Shin felt the urge to smile, but quickly shoved it down as she focused ahead. Her opponent did the same as the two slow moved back towards each other, taking the time to look over her opponents body for any alternative plans aside from a lock up. And she saw at the last moment that she was right.

”OOOF!” The bear gasped as Kyo’s knee collided into her belly. Air shooting out of her lips as she was left momentarily breathless. Exactly what Kyo wanted as he would then grab onto her wrist and send her flipping onto her back. Thankfully, Shin still had enough sense to lock her fingers between her hands together, so that when Kyo would try to seal his armbar. He would find that he wouldn’t be able to do so.

Kyo felt his knee impact solidly with Shin's firm abs. Sure enough, the blow was enough to double the giantess over and leave her gasping for air, which gave Kyo the opening he needed to leap up, latch his legs around her outstretched arm, and roll. The resulting motion flipped Shin over onto her back, with Kyo sitting beside her ready to lock in an armbar.

Except Shin, in mid-flip, had locked her fingers together, folding her arms across her chest as she pre-emptively resisted Kyo's armbar. Damn it, she saw through my move, he realized, even as he found himself sitting to Shin's side, pulling at her wrist with both hands. No matter what, her arm would not come loose, and for a brief moment Kyo's eyes locked intensely with Shin's in a battle of wills as he tried to pull her arm free.

After a few seconds, though, he realized that was a losing battle. Rather than fight Shin on the ground he quickly hopped up to his feet, using his grip on Shin's arm to pull her up as well, and whipped her towards the ropes. As she bounced back, he would run up to meet her, again, seemingly raising his arm for a clothesline. This time, however, he wasn't planning on dodging to the side, ducking, or striking at her, as he figured Shin was getting used to these fake-outs by now: instead, he would try to reach up and latch his arm around Shin's head at the last minute, spinning around so his back was against her and using her weight against her, trying to bring her face-down into the mat with a stunner!

Shin wasn’t able to stop the knee slamming into her abdomen, but she was able to recognize Kyo’s next move and so was able to put a wrench into his plans by locking her fingers together before he could lock her in another submission hold. An armbar to be exact, and the bear was able to successfully do so.

This forced Kyo to move on to another strategy after a few more yanks provided nothing in progress. Instead Shin was yanked up to her feet, she was still slightly dazed from the knee and the flip and so didn’t resist as she was thrown across the ring to rebound off the ropes on the other side.

As she bounced back, Shin’s mind raced to think of a way to turn this around before Kyo gained too much momentum. When she saw the man running towards her with his arm outstretched for a clothesline, the bear assumed another trick or fake out was coming. Only she was wrong and so was left unprepared as his arm instead latched onto his neck and Kyo began to spin around. The next thing Shin knew, her chin was slamming into Kyo’s shoulder from his surprise stunner. “AAHHGG!” she cried as she bounced off of him and spread eagled onto her back, true to the moves name. She was stunned.
