the first defense of Aoi (aoi vs yuki

[Dragonofdarkness]

Aoi would keep the top position on Yuki but the girl was smart and would wrap her legs around the champions waist. "smart.." Aoi smiled at Yuki as she would try to think on who to count this since her options were now limited. she would have an idea as she tried to put Yuki in a head lock and roll onto her butt pulling yuki up and forcing her to bend her body forward so that the girl would strain her back abit as she tighten her hold on the girl's head.

"If you tap out now i wouldn't hold it against you" Aoi said as she had a genuine smile on her face she was having a blast. Glancing over at Mayori she saw the girl looked to be engrossed in this match and thought that she might want to fight as well. Sadly tho Aoi had to only focus on Yuki right now she was the challenger not Mayori and she figured Mayori is a honorable person and wouldn't cheat to help yuki win.

Aoi would squeeze more around Yuki's head and neck as she wonder how the girl would get free now.

[CaptainL]

Yuki was weighed down underneath Aoi, but even then, she wasn't planning on going out. There was too much on the line - the title, but also her close friend being there to watch her, and the scores of fans in the seats who would want to see the rising star take the glory! Yuki dared not let them all down, and even if ground wrestling was never her strongest suit, she would give it her all now, as she tried to counter with bringing her legs up for a bodyscissor!

Nevertheless, Aoi had a counter of her own, as she wrapped her arm around the petite brunette's head and dragged her in closer as she rolled back to put them into a mutual seated position. Yuki groaned as she was pulled in, her teeth clenched and her face growing red. She didn't let up on her hold on the champion's torso, now hanging off of her with her legs as she fought as hard as she could to squeeze down on her, while her upper body was curled in a C shape into Aoi, supported by bodyscissor and Aoi's headlock. Her skirt hung upside down from her position, and the yellow fabric of the leotard she wore underneath had begun to ride up, offering a glimpse of the pert buttocks beneath.

What had started as a contest of strikes had now become a tense struggle with the two girls locked onto one another, and even when their bodies were so closely pressed, they didn't look like they had any intention to budge to the other. Yuki had to admit, being so close against another woman like this stirred something in her, and she felt a warmth inside. In any other context, there would be something appealing to this position - but she had a match, and a championship, to win, and she wouldn't let it slip through her fingers!

"No...I won't tap now-!" Yuki shouted. Sweat beaded on her brow and trickled down her neck, as her thighs ground up against Aoi's sides to try and hold the position. Hoping to loosen the lockup in her favor, Yuki swung out one arm, looking to clip Aoi in the side with an elbow to her rib, even if she tried to bear through the crushing pressure on her temples!

[Dragonofdarkness]

Aoi would hold onto yuki's head tightly as she squeezed more and more. groaning a bit form yuki tightening her body scissors, "ngh...Good..." Aoi said as she tried to move her legs under her and get them up in a standing position. she yelp abit form when Yuki clipped her ribs with that elbow but didn't relase her form the head lock. "not...good enough..." Aoi said as she mustered her strength to get up onto her feet.

beads of sweat was roll down her for head as she strain her body, pushing it to keep going. Once on her feet Aoi would run over to the nearest corner hoping yuki didn't release her body scissors before she could slam the raven haired girl's back into the corner. It was gunna hurt yuki but Aoi was tired of being in on hold now and wanted to change it up.

[CaptainL]

Caught in an uncomfortable position, and desperate to do something even as she was being slowly stretched to her limits, groaning and gagging every step of the way, Yuki was nevertheless emboldened to fight on. This was too important for her to give anything less than the absolute best she was willing to put forth! She knew that her attempt to elbow Aoi wouldn't land at full force due to the awkward position she would have to strike from, but it would be better than nothing!

Even if she tried her hardest, though, it wouldn't get Aoi to release her. Yuki hissed from the strain of the hold as she listened to her taunt. "T-Then...what...about this-!?" she growled under her breath, drawing back her arm to swing it again for Aoi's side. But the champion was on the move - and she lifted herself to her feet, bringing Yuki up with her! The raven-haired girl gasped as she suddenly found herself aloft, still clinging to Aoi's waist. She had to be impressed with the strength Aoi could put forward to lift her like this. The crowd, too, was impressed, letting out cheers - not only for Aoi's feat of strength but also for how Yuki's nearly exposed rear was on full display. But Yuki couldn't worry about that. She was lost in the moment of the match, and it was time for her to move!

She could feel Aoi going charging backwards, and even if she couldn't move her head much from where she was, she knew where she was going. She was aiming to slam Yuki right into the turnbuckles! The challenger couldn't let that happen! But she still had her legs around Aoi's waist, and that was something she could leverage. She brought her hands up now to grab at Aoi's head, mirroring her headlock, before releasing her bodyscissor long enough to put her feet against the blue-haired girl's waist. Then, she fell back, going to the mat and kicking up with her legs, to try and counter into a monkey flip! Doing so would send Aoi into the air, and flying towards the same turnbuckle she was moving Yuki towards!

[Dragonofdarkness]

Aoi was straining her body to its limits as she had some strength to lift people up for slams but when it came to holding them up for an extended period of time she was pushing it. she would try to rush over to the turnbuckle to slam Yuki into it. The girl was trying to counter but Aoi didn't know what her plan was. it wasn until she felf the girl grab her head trying ot head lock her to and feeling the feet on he waist instead of the body scissors.

Aoi knew this move very well she had done it a few time her self to counter stronger girl's, and it was to late for her to stop as she would feel the contender falling back and throwing her over in a monkey flip. the crowd exploded into a cheer as Aoi sailed through the air and hitting the the turnbuckle her legs wrapping around the top ropes putting her self in a tree of woe. "ngh damn that was smart." aoi said groaning as she didn't expect that kind of counter but should have since The girl was more agility then strength and technique.

Aoi would hang there for abit as she shook her head trying to get rid of any cobwebs in her head. she was also pretty worn out form holding up Yuki in the feat of strength. she knew she could keep going she just need a reprieve was all.

[CaptainL]

Yuki's breaths came in short and hoarse as the pressure built on her, the rush of blood pounding in her ears as she drew closer and closer to making impact with the turnbuckle - and the arms pressing down on her temples didn't help her either, of course. Yuki had to do something. It'd be a desperate attempt, but if it worked-!

And work it did! In a swift motion, Yuki flipped herself downward and catapulted Aoi to the corner as she kicked up her legs from the mat, where the blue-haired girl landed in the ropes! Yuki's legs dropped to the mat with a thud, as she panted for breath where she lay. The struggle to maintain control even when faced with the urge to tap out had taken a lot out of Yuki, and she was now left staring up blankly at the lights, her chest rising and falling. Her legs felt sore from where she had fought so hard to keep them latched firmly onto her opponent's waist. But Yuki still knew this fight wasn't over. She had to finish what she'd started.

She rolled herself onto her side, propping herself up on her elbow to face Aoi as she lay there suspended from the ropes. Hearing Aoi praise her on her counter, the girl nodded taciturnly to her. Slowly, Yuki got onto her knees, and then her feet. She winced as she did, letting out a small yelp and reaching back behind her to rub at her back as she doubled over. She was reminded now that she had had to be bent into a tight curve to hold on the bodyscissor even against the mounting pressure of the headlock. But Yuki quickly shook her head. That wasn't going to hold her back now!

"Haah-!" she cried, coming running toward Aoi now. She had her where she needed her; if she could act now, while she was weary, then maybe Yuki could nip her attempts at a comeback in the bud! She knew that with Aoi's speed, she couldn't afford a single moment she couldn't use to her advantage. As Yuki came in close, she turned to fire a roundhouse kick off into her stomach to try and wind her further!

[Dragonofdarkness]

Aoi would try to untangle her self from the tree of woe as she looked over at Yuki who seemed to be getting back into the fight after the counter she just did. Aoi speed does come in handy but she can't do much when she stuck like this. seeing Yuki come over to her Aoi knew what the girl was planning as she would see that leg come up and nail her right in the mid section.

"UHG!" Aoi coughed out and moved her hands to her gut. she wanted to double over but she was still hanging upside down . she felt the air leave her breathless and knew Yuki wasn't done yet. if Aoi was her she would keep pressing the advantage to keep it going. "damn..." Aoi coughed as she would try to get some breaths in.

Aoi would have to bide her time. she needed to get on her feet and had to wait for the right time to strike. "nnng.." Aoi groaned as she felt the blood start going to her head.

[Caduces]

Mayori put her hands together and put her fingertips against her lips. She leaned forward and kept her forearms on the ring apron.

Yuki continued to perform like a true contender. She survived the aerial offense, grounding submission and made the momentum her own. Yuki made Aoi work for every centimeter of ground that was gained, and took back every centimeter that Aoi thought she would hold.

The Hachijo girl was witnessing firsthand what it took to fight for a championship and what it would take to hold one in LAW.

Yuki struck with another roundhouse and Aoi's face was turning a darker shade, and Mayori thought that Yuki had finally worn Aoi down enough to attempt a finishing blow.

I want so much for you to be the one to celebrate...be careful...she could strike back, again...

[CaptainL]

Yuki never felt more encouraged than she did right now. She had never imagined she would be as close as she was now to winning a major championship. In all her time in the indies, she had been steadily climbing higher and higher, winning recognition among her friends and classmates at first but soon among the greater wrestling world. And now, she was nearing what would surely be the zenith of her career. If she could defeat Aoi and win the title, then everything would culminate. It would all be worth it, all the pain and hardship it took to take her there.

Her body still ached from the hold she had just escaped from. As she stepped back from the kick she'd landed, Yuki grit her teeth, clenching her fist as she hissed under her breath to try and focus herself. Still, she couldn't stop now. Her heart was pounding in her chest, and the adrenaline was pumping in her. She didn't know if she'd ever be so close to a championship victory as she was now, and the opportunity was there for her to take it!

"Haaah-!" Letting out a battle cry to urge herself onward, Yuki turned to run to her corner of the ring, looking back at Mayori with a nod as she passed by. Then, she would charge back towards Aoi, jumping at the last minute to try and hit her again - this time, with a dropkick aimed right at her stomach!

[Dragonofdarkness]

Aoi was in a pickle now she wasn't over confident but Yuki took her by surprised with the monkey flip. the move had turn the whole match in yukis favor. the raven haired girl was feeling confident as she moved away from Aoi. Aoi looked at Yuki at the other side of the ring and knew she was planning something.

Her eyes would shoot wide open when yuki came running and jumping knowing what was next and how helpless she was to fight back. "Gah!!!" Aoi cried out and bounced after Yuki landed her drop kick to the stomach. She would fall out of the tree of woe and lay there holding her stomach coughing out. The air left her lungs form that earlier attack so she didn't had much air before now she was pretty weaken.

Aoi tried to keep her eyes on yuki so she can see what the girl would do now in Aoi's weaken state. she glanced over at Mayori seeing that her friend was at the edge of her seat if she had one by how well yuki was doing. Smiling abit Aoi was glad but she still had to find an opening to take the win.
