A Matter of Honour: Homura Kōgetsu vs Kyo Akamatsu

[Underdoggo]

The crowd winced as Kyo hit Homura with that brutal forearm chop, sending the bluenette tumbling down to the mat. It was clear so far in this match that Kyo was well-matched by his opponent. What was also clear, though, was that tonight Kyo clearly wasn't holding back: tonight his usual gentlemanly honor was taking a back seat. Though not that many people in the audience knew the cause of their feud, it was plain to see there was no love lost between them.

Seeing Homura crawling on her front, Kyo decided to continue to punish his opponent while she was down. Pressing a boot against her back to force her upper body down, Kyo moved to sit on Homura's back, grabbing for one of her boots to pull her leg back under his arm in a Boston crab!

"So," he breathed as he locked in the hold, "it seems that superiority you were going on about is nothing but hot air..."

Homura was enraged while crawling towards the ropes. It was an undignified look for her for sure, being on all fours while forcing to retreat like that. She had her teeth gritted in anger and frustration, knowing full well that Kyo would have a smug look on his face for accomplishing this. Still, he may have one upper her temporarily, but the war was not over. While she got closer and closer, she suddenly felt Kyo's boot smack against her back. "Gugh" she grunted while she was forced down onto her belly. "Impossible" she cursed before he grabbed one of her boots and sat on the small of her back, pulling her leg back for a single legged Boston Crab.

"AHHHHHH" Homura howled in agony. She shook her head while the referee asked if she wanted to submit. The proud Japanese woman would press her palms against the mat and do a push up, elevating herself off the mat while using her free leg to slowly push the pair forward towards the ropes. She chuckled through pain stricken grunts upon hearing him taunt her.

"Hehe, so you finally found your voice huh?" Homura said, clearly in pain. The bluenette continued to crawl to the ropes, stretching her arm as much as she could at the last stretch to try and grab the bottom ropes to earn herself a rope break.

Kyo was not one for trash talk: usually, he felt it beneath him, and beneath the dignity of the wrestling ring. With all of that being said...Homura's arrogance, and her incessant insults towards him were enough that he felt that he could safely make an exception for her. The bluenette had already shown how little she actually valued honour and how much she wanted to win at any cost, so Kyo allowed himself to throw her own words back at her.

As he sat against Homura's back, he leaned back, stretching her leg back and tucking the limb under his armpit. He was rewarded by Homura's cry of pain as she crawled and thrashed underneath him. He felt her slowly but surely drag them towards the ropes; in response, he leaned back further, stretching further and further at her leg, testing Homura's flexibility and forcing her to move with Kyo's weight on her back.

Finally, the ref signaled for Kyo to let go, as Homura had grabbed the bottom ropes. Taking a deep breath, Kyo released Homura. He wasn't about to give her a wide enough berth to recover, however: grabbing at her arm, he pulled her up to her feet, pulling her away from the ropes.

"I simply didn't have any words to spare for you," he replied coldly, before trying to slide one leg around Homura's and trap one of her arms under her armpit. If he managed that, then he would try to stretch the tall bluenette sideways in an abdominal stretch, hoping to wring a submission out of her...unless that was, she managed to counter or escape...

To Homura, this wrestling match was entirely about honor and hard work. That anyone could achieve being the top wrestler if they worked hard for it, and not because their last name was associated with the wrestling greats of the past. She may be arrogant, but in her mind she deserved to be because of how good she was in the ring and the work she put into it. For now though, Kyo was really putting her through the wringer as he tortured her in the Boston Crab submission, until she would crawl and scratch her way towards the ring ropes.

Homura grinned, masking the pain she felt in her back while Kyo would let go. The rest was brief though, as he would quickly grab her arm and pull her up to her feet first, before dragging her away from the ropes back to the middle of the ring. "Urgh....Hai, and know you do eh? Tch! At least be honoest with yourself Kyo-san" she hissed as he hooked his leg around hers while trapping one arm under her armpit to stretch her sideways in a painful abdominal stretch hold. "Arghhh...AHHHHHH" she moaned out loud, feeling the burn in her abdomen while the male put the stretch on her.

She continued to shake her head, refusing to give up. Homura began to twist her turn her body, she tightened her fist and with her free arm would swing her arm backwards towards the side of Kyo's head, looking to deliver a nasty elbow strike to stun him. If her plan worked, she would do it one more time for good measure before hoping to spin out of the submission and face him before jumping up and attempting a step up enziguiri kick to the side of his head!

Kyo was relentless as he quickly transitioned from one submission hold to another, locking Homura in a brutal abdominal stretch. The crowd watched as the bluenette was stretched painfully, the move testing her flexibility and putting her finely toned abdomen and powerful thighs on full display as Kyo bent her sideways. So far in this match, neither wrestler was giving or taking any quarter, and the audience had an impression neither would be stopping any time soon.

Kyo clenched his teeth, both from the effort he was pouring into the hold as well as from Homura's goading. "If I have any words to spare for you," he growled, "it is these: apologize now for how you insulted my family, and apologize for cheating at kendo. You are not going to--"

He probably should have been keeping an eye on Homura's free arm, as suddenly her fist came whistling up, slamming against his cheek! "UGH!" he grunted, the blow knocking his head to the side, causing him to release Homura as he stumbled back. He shook his head and turned back to his foe...just as one boot planted against his chest, and another came swinging hard into the side of his head! Stars exploded across his vision, and he collapsed onto his side, clutching his head, rolling dizzily as he was floored by Homura's kick...
