A... crush? (for luffy)

Malina sucked hurriedly the air when the headscissors were briefly displaced, getting some two or three breaths before Lewa caught her again. She had tried to get to her feet, but Lewa got her before she could do this, so she was trapped on all fours, with Lewa strangling her with her legs beside her.

The extra air would keep her up for some more time, but not much. When flipping Lewa over, she had seen the ropes; the nearest ones weren't that near, and to top it off they were behind her. Fighting against Lewa's legs, she tried to extend one of her own legs and hook the lower rope with her foot, but the chances of it succeeding were slim.

Seeing the leg go and not sure if it would reach, Lewa remembered the valuable lesson that ropes were bad for her. When used for her enemy anyway. She'd give a quick little grunt, twisting her hips to give a sort of miniature hurricanrana, her whipping legs and torso tossing Malina in a direction away from the ropes as she balanced on her elbows

Malina extended her own leg as much as possible, trying to get it to latch to the ropes; however, before she could find out if they really were too far away, she was rolled away from them all of a sudden, ending up on her back. Now there was no way she could reach any of the ropes; there was no choice, then. She started pummeling Lewa's legs, concentrating her punches on her knees. Doing that in a spar was not very nice, but it was that or passing out between Lewa's legs.

Lewa knew nothing of spar etiquette to object to, so the punches came as simply defiance to her challenging trap. Her knees weakened, loosening her hold gradually and Lewa frowning a bit in dissapointment at losing her hold. Rather than let Malina force her way out and get a free shot on her, she'd try to release and roll off first. "Alpha cannot match Lewa's trap!" she proclaimed proudly though.

With or without a free shot, Malina was relieved to get away from Lewa's legscissors. She tried to sit up, looking at Lewa and also coughing a bit, since her first breath had been too deep."Yeah... that was a good one." Then she got to her knees, and after that would try standing again. "But we're not finished yet! You can keep coming at me!"

"Nope!" Lewa insisted fiercely, getting to all fours and springing at her in rapid mini pounces that moved her swiftly towards her. She'd try to zip past her and grab her arm, pulling back to try and yank her into an arm bar. "My strong Alpha can't be strong forever!" she growled.

Still winded by the headscissor, Malina could not overcome Lewa's speed, and so she got trapped again as soon as she got up. However, as this move was less unusual, she had a quicker response to it. "Ngh! It may be so... but I'm still strong right now. Can you outlast me?" Just as she dared Lewa, she prepared for her counter; it wasn't going to be pleasurable for herself either, so she had to brace herself. She moved her head forward, then sprang it backwards, knowing that there were few people who could take a reverse heabutt without getting affected by it.

"You are..." she grunted, then let out a near canine yelp as she was headbutted, shaking her head as she forced her eyes shut and let go. She'd try to shimmy back on all fours, trying to unscramble her brains and get back to her hands and toes, growling softly.

Malina winced right at the moment of the impact, but besides this, she didn't seem to be affected by the headbutt. True, it had hurt her, but it had done more damage to Lewa than to herself. She turned around and saw Lewa getting on all fours again; it would be difficult to approach her like that, but she decided to try something clever. She ran towards Lewa; as she got close, she feinted a sidewards kick to Lewa's head. However, instead of completing the kick, her foot touched the mat again harmlessly, while she raised her other leg for another sidewards kick, this time a real one. She wondered if Lewa would dodge to the right side, or if she would be tricked by her own quick reflexes.

Lewa winced and dodged the feint out of reflex, perhaps being able to sense the other kick coming if her head were clearer. She yelped as her cheek collided with it, hitting the mat quick and loud as she held her cheek with one hand, growling and grabbing at Malina's ankle. She had to remind herself not to bite in this fight, instead trying to pull hard to throw her off balance.
