Clash of the Titanesses (for Tatyina)

Katsumi's breath came in heavy, deep gasps, fueled by exhilaration and her close contact with Akashi. She felt her opponent's own heated breath caress her shoulder, felt a faint thudding through their breasts that matched the excited pace of her own heart. Her body was heating up, so much that she hardly noticed Akashi's own rise in temperature.

Suddenly she felt a small amount of give through her shoulders and chest; Akashi was shifting her stance for something other than full-frontal and Katsumi decided to play her game. This round was done, and Akashi had proven truly worthy in strength. Now shifting her own weight from the press to a more flexible stance, she lifted her right leg as her opponent turned to the side, whipping around and planting her foot in front of Akashi's left, lessening the force of the throw. Her torso was bent downward by the force regardless, but she placed her right hand over her foe's shoulder and pressed downwards as well, hoping to take the other sumo off balance.

A normal sumo bout would be over in mere seconds, however the two had taken a different approach and so their first clash lasted several times longer. They had now moved onto the second phase of the contest. A sumo's bout was about balance and control. Often times it wasn't about knocking your opponent down but being the last to fall when you both collapsed. Akasi could sense that this new contest would begin but unlike the firat phase, only so much could be done.

She felt Katsumi grab onto her shoulder and switched her grip as well. She no ,onger needed the mawashi to force Katsumi off balance and brought her hands up to wrap them around Katsumi's waist in a tight bear hug hoping to guide them down so that Akashi fell with Katsumi below her.

Katsumi clenched her jaw as she felt two strong arms encircle her waist and Akashi's body continuing her downward momentum to meet with the canvas. She grinned; for all her technique and training, when in this situation against many heavier, more experienced wrestlers involved in the professional sumo world, she hadn't been able to affect the outcome by much. Here, though, she had a chance. She considered throwing her right foot even further forward to halt their fall, but considering both their weight and Akashi's hold, she decided against it. Even if she did manage to keep them both from falling, Akashi now had the advantageous position.

Instead, Katsumi quickly cupped the far side of Akashi's face with her left hand and firmly turned her opponent's head towards her, trying to disorient her awareness of the approaching ground and to lessen the force that Akashi could steer her into the ground with by taking away the full strength that her neck and shoulder muscles provided her with. At the same time, she pressed down hard on Akashi's shoulder, hoping to use her foe's turned neck to her advantage. Finally, as both wrestlers began to topple forwards, Katsumi hooked her right leg around the inside of Akashi's left and pulled it towards her body. If she could splay open the other sumo's stance by an inch or so, she could throw off what was left of Akashi's balance as they both fell.

Akashi's bearhug had too much of a grip on her to hope for a truly decisive win, but with the triple threat that Katsumi had pulled on her opponent, she could at least hope for a draw, or an end to the first round that was too close to call.

Akashi felt Katsumi try and push her face and clenched her teeth, knowing what the tactic was. She rolled her neck to try and keep Katsuki from getting a good grip. At least if she wanted to really secure a position, she would have to concentrate on the action and Akashi could focus elsewhere.

As Katsumi slide her leg around Akashi's, she did the oppostie leg around Katsumi. Once they were tumbling to the ground, Akashi only needed one hand in the bear hug to guide and pulled her other hand inward to regrab the inside of Katsumi's Mawashi. Sumo could be decided by a matter of inches and she was willing to take it.

Whatever Katsumi was doing, Akashi tried her best to use her body to cradle Katsumi so most of the girl was on the inside and Akasi was on the outside. They seemed to fall in slow motion and even as they tumbled, Akashi had a grin on her face. But soon they would hit and the dust would settle.

Inwardly, Katsumi cursed as Akashi resisted her neck-turning approach and quickly abandoned the idea. Feeling a muscled leg wrap around her free one, she pressed her body firmly against her opponent's and wrapped her arms around Akashi's body, holding tight even though the other sumo had both underhooks. She closed her eyes and gritted her teeth; she was only going to get one shot at this. Latching on to the very back of Akashi's mawashi with both hands, Katsumi tightened her body and wrenched her weight around in midair, trying to force a last-second advantage or draw.

With a surge of willpower, she tried to yank around their entangled bodies using the green mawashi as leverage, but with her eyes closed, she had no idea what the result was going to be. All she knew was that she had to try her best and nothing else.

The canvas shook and the sound of impact echoed off and around the exercise machines like a peal of thunder as nearly four hundred pounds of flesh and muscle hit the mat with stunning force. Katsumi kept her neck flexed so that she wouldn't hit her head on the mat and give herself a concussion, loosened her grip and opened her eyes. The two were locked together side-by-side on the mat, but that didn't tell her anything. A bead of sweat trickled sideways across her brow as the intensity of the past combat settled in and her body tried to cool down, or at least as much as Akashi's own significant body heat would let her. She craned her neck upwards and exhaled deeply, relinquishing her grip on Akashi and letting the extra tension and strain fade from her muscles. She looked back at Akashi and gave her an impressed smile.

"Who won that round?"

Akashi crashed down to the mat with a thud. She felt Katsumi impact just as she did and couldn't be sure who really landed first. If there was a victor, even a professional sumo ref might have been hard pressed to determine one way or another. Akashi had leg out a grunt and now laid panting against Katsumi. She looked up to see her smiling and let out a soft smile of her own. "Don't ... Know..." She panted out before closing her eyes, enjoying the feeling of their two entangled bodies.

After a few moments she moved to get up, pulling Katsumi into a tighter embrace so she could shift her weight. She rolled ontop of Katsumi, pressing her ample chest against Katsuimi's and planted her left hand to push herself up. However, as she moved, she found her cheek pressed against Katsumi's. Her cheeks flushed as she panted hard against Katsumi, her sweaty hair and hot breath falling against her sumo rival. She slowly drug her face across Katsumi's and shivered as she felt their lips brush against each other. Letting them hover just milimetres from each other.

"Katsumi-chan..." She whispered softly. Akashi was generally a formal person but from one clash of their bodies, she already felt close enough to to use such a term. Akashi's body ached at the closeness. She wanted desperately wanted to press her lips against Katsumi and ravage the woman but after a long hot sigh, she opened her eyes and looked into Katsumi's "... You're amazing..." She then pushed herself of her and stood up. Her cheeks were beet read. Looking down at Katsumi, she held out her hand to help her up. "Ready for another round?" She said puffing out her chest proudly.

With the tension and unyielding resistance of the round fading away, Katsumi found herself basking in the warmth and softness of their embrace, the soft beating of Akashi's heart, and the heated sound of her breath. She closed her eyes in pleasure and almost moaned when Akashi rolled on top of her to prop herself up, her body sensuously crushing down onto Katsumi's. She blushed and exhaled huskily as Akashi's face slowly rubbed across hers, then her lips trembled achingly as they brushed against Akashi's like a butterfly's caress.

She felt a shiver tremble through her as her body longed for this woman, a hunger she had almost never remotely felt her entire life... until she had met this kindred spirit. She was a hairsbreadth away from thrusting her mouth upwards into Akashi's, to embrace her anew and relentlessly pound into her with another approach entirely in mind. But... they had only fought one round, one wonderful round, and Katsumi wanted more, to take them both to their limits and back before taking Akashi a completely different way. She gazed into Akashi's eyes and smiled. "So are you, Akashi-chan," she whispered. She fought quickly to lessen the deep flush in her cheeks, then thankfully accepted Akashi's assistance.

Grinning competitively at the other wrestler, she thrust her own bosom forward, her hands on her hips. "I'm ready for plenty of rounds, aren't you?"

Then stepping forward, her body coming tantalizingly close to her opponent's, she moved her hands from her hips to Akashi's, her eyes firing up with renewed vigor. They had honored the rituals this day, even in training, but now she was intent on battle. "Whenever you're ready," she challenged.

Akashi smiled as she saw Katsumi get up and nodded when she asked if she was ready for many rounds. "Hai!" She bellowed and as Katsumi grabbed her sash, Akashi did the same. The two sumo were practically already touching being this close. "Don't want to waste any time getting close?" She said as a faint blush returned to her cheeks.

"Or maybe your not willing to face the might of one of my slaps!" She let go of Katsumi's sash with one hand and aimed a hard slap downward at Katsumi's left breast. If she was not stopped, she would then pull her hand into a fist and slap it against her chest, beckoning Katsumi Silently with a new challenge.

Katsumi's renewed competitive mindset caused her to grin hungrily in addition to a mild blush when Akashi insinuated her own lust. She was looking forward to maintain physical contact with this beautiful young woman. For a long time.

She yelped in astonishment as Akashi suddenly released her mawashi and Akashi's slap thrusted towards her breast, just as she was about to thrust her body forward. Despite her intense training, Katsumi's reaction time still wasn't quite as honed as Ciara's, and she was DEFINITELY not anywhere near as swift as Lysandra. But as far as battling other sumo went, she was plenty fast. She let go with her left hand and brought her free arm up quickly so that her forearm would block the strike and protect her precious bosom, but some tension went out of her when the hand drew back and thumped against Akashi's chest. She grinned as her opponent opened up a whole new arena to their match. Slowly, she released Akashi's mawashi with her other hand and raised her arms, hands open and palms outward, in an acceptance of the challenge.

"I'm sure you'll be thinking something different when I send you into the ropes, Tanikaze-san," Katsumi taunted. She waited for Akashi to make the first strike, completely willing to start this new striking duel at point-blank range. If and when Akashi made a move, Katsumi would move to deliver her own first slap, aiming for her opponent's chin.

"Heh! We'll see!" Akashi said and brought her hands up as well. She shifted a bit, getting into the perfect position before pulling back again and sending another hurtling slap down at Katsumi's chest. She had thought the two sumo would trade slaps but wasn't too worried when she saw Katsumi's hand move. However, her eyes widend as the slap came to her chin. She let out a grunt as it slammed into her and caused her to stumble back.

She panted and grabbed her chin, moving her jaw back and forth. "What a hard slap, Katsumi-chan!" She said grinning. "It's almost as hard as one of Tajiri-san's kicks or Sarah-san's punches." It was a double edged compliment though. Akashi had been able to stand up to those as well and she had said they were still stronger.

"I didn't think you would go for the chin..." She smiled. "Round two: Sumo slap challenge til someone falls to one knee, then?"
