Sora Mizumi vs. Tsuki-hime

Feeling her foot connect with Tsuki's stomach, and the girl crying out and dropping her leg, Sora would scramble out and away as quickly as possible. Tsuki had been playing her well; she'd lost focus from her...playing, and that allowed her opponent to dominate the direction of the fight. It was frustrating, but Sora admired the strategy of it.

As Sora got back to her feet, she could feel a strain in her leg. Tsuki had really targeted it, and although she'd been fortunate to escape most of the holds quickly, the constant pressure was beginning to take its toll. As she got up, if Tsuki was still on her knees recovering, Sora would attempt to hit her in the back of the head with a spinning kick, standing of her good leg for leverage, unsure how her other would go if she put all her pressure on it. If Tsuki had recovered and gotten back to her feet though, Sora would back up...she'd become too intimidated by her opponent to attack her head on...it was all becoming a real battle for Sora now.

Azami tried to pretend that she was hurt way from the kick than she actually was. Acting was one of her strong points and she hoped she could lure her opponent into attacking her once again. She slowly shifted herself to get a better view on Sora, who seemed to be eager to attack her again as the girl came at her with her leg swung in a spinning kick! Azami raised her hands to block the kick, but the impact seemed to send her flying for about a meter or so.

"Ugh!" the blue haired girl groaned as she landed on her side.

Her arms did sting from blocking Sora's attack, but for now Azami would continue staying down, wanting to make her opponent came at her. If Sora took the bait, Azami would try to swung her leg at the girl's hurt leg when she's close enough to try taking her down.

Connecting with the kick, even if it wasn't what she intended, was satisfying for Sora. She'd been worried that Tsuki would grab onto her leg and counter, but fortunately it'd seem Sora was just half a second quicker than Tsuki had expected. Still, it'd put Sora on guard. She knew her opponent was so skilled at these reversals that she was afraid to go near her, like she would have with any other opponent. She'd been stung too many times with quick reversals that she knew she had to be cautious, and with Tsuki staying down the way she was, Sora just couldn't tell if she was acting or really down and exhausted...but she decided not to risk it again; she couldn't afford to get her leg caught once more.

Weighing up her options, Sora would move back to the ropes, ducking through them and climbing the turnbuckle. She hadn't been a big high flyer, but she thought it might be what Tsuki was expecting her to do least. Climbing slowly, putting more weight on her good leg, she'd get to the top and remain perched their, waiting for Tsuki to get back to her feet. When she did so, Sora would launch herself into a missile dropkick from the top rope.

Azami silently clicked her tongue as she lied down when she noticed that Sora didn't fall to her act this time. However, seeing the girl went to the corner and begin to climb the turnbuckle, a smirk appeared on her face. It didn't take a genius to guess what Sora's going to do from there. Azami would slowly get up on her knees, faking out a groan while keeping her glance at her opponent's direction. It's going to be a bit tricky, or so she thought.

Once she got up on her feet, the blue haired girl would brace herself for a hit, pretending to be surprised when Sora jumped at her with the dropkick. However, Azami would try to move aside a bit to lessen the impact of the kick while putting her arms up to protect her head and a bit of her chest. Hopefully Sora would hit her arms instead and worsen the strain on her own leg.

"Aaahh!" the Tsuki-hime would let out as she was knocked to the mat again. The fall did took some air from her, and she would lie there on the mat again, panting.

Landing the missile dropkick, Sora felt her feet connect with the bony parts of Tsuki's arms, which normally wouldn't have made a difference, but the way Sora's leg was, she felt it jar with her ankle. Dropping to the mat with the roar of the crowd behind her, Sora knew that she hadn't connected as well as she'd like to. But still, it was something...and her opponent had gone down breathless, but Sora knew she had to be wary still.

Approaching Tsuki's downed form, Sora would take ahold of the blue haired girl's leg and try to turn her over into a one legged Boston Crab, hoping to try and begin causing the same amount of pain to her leg as Tsuki had already done to Sora's.

Azami tried to get up as soon as possible after her landing, still feeling a bit dazed from her fall. Even if the kick didn't hit as hard as it should be, her arms were still stinging from blocking it, which also slowed down her movement. She only managed to get into a sitting position when Sora grabbed her leg, and turned her over onto her front. Realizing what the girl was going to do, the hime would try to swing her free leg at Sora, attempting to kick the girl's leg or something before the girl could full apply the Boston Crab. Azami hoped that it'd be enough to disrupt her opponent, so she could pull her caught leg free and crawl towards the ropes.

Grabbing Tsuki's leg and pulling her onto her back, Sora was able to turn her opponent over and prepare to lock in her Boston Crab until Tsuki kicked out at her, hitting right on her ankle which she'd hurt more from the drop kick. "Ahh!" Sora'd call out, dropping Tsuki's leg and hobbling back a step, allowing Tsuki to begin crawling to the ropes. It stung, but it didn't knock her over.

Seeing her opponent making a get away, Sora would charge at her. "Ohh, no you don't!" she'd yell as she tried to grab ahold of Tsuki's ankle and pull her back into the middle of the ring, hoping to lock in an ankle lock on her blue haired opponent and work on wearing her down.

Azami immediately went towards the ropes as soon as Sora let her leg go. She was relieved that she could free herself, but she's aware that the danger hadn't pass yet. The blue haired girl almost reached the ropes when she suddenly felt her ankle was grabbed and her body would soon be pulled away from the ropes.

"Ah!" the hime cried as she tried to reach for the ropes, but found herself unable to do so.

Azami would push her hands on the mat to make it harder for Sora to pull her towards the middle of the ring, but she would soon felt that the girl decided to apply an ankle lock instead! The blue haired girl would groan in pain as she tried to drag herself towards the ropes once again, gritting her teeth to endure the pain.

"Finally!" Sora would let out as she dragged Tsuki away from the ropes and began twisting her ankle. Her blue hair opponent struggled and would begin dragging herself towards the ropes in an attempt to break out, but Sora would keep stepping backwards and pulling Tsuki back with the ankle she was holding. Hearing Tsuki cry out was satisfying after being on the back foot for most of the match. Sora would keep savagely twisting at Tsuki's ankle, trying to cause as much damage as possible to the blue haired girl.

"C'mon Tsuki-san! You can give when you want!" Sora would let out as Tsuki continued making slow progress towards the ropes. Knowing she couldn't keep her away from them forever as she kept desperately dragging herself towards them, Sora would keep her ankle lock going for as long as possible, trying to take Tsuki's leg out of the match.

"Aaahh... n-not yet..." Azami weakly said as she was focusing herself to reach the ropes as soon as possible.

She bite her lower lips as she keep dragging herself, grimacing from the pain on her ankle that starting to get unbearable. With a strong determination, Azami finally able to grab the lower ropes tightly with one hand, causing the ref to order a rope break. The hime would breathe heavily afterwards, still holding on the ropes as she slowly pulled herself closer to the ring's edge. Rubbing her hurt ankle with her other hand, Azami looked at Sora with a pained expression as she gradually shifted herself into a sitting position. It didn't look like she could stand right away as it was.
