Tammy Naga vs Haruko Hitamura

With her attempt of the clothsline, Tammy felt like she would come at her successfully. Her attack almost was coming up like an uppercut with her shoulder and arm, but Tammy's golden eyes widened in surprise when she noticed just how quick the neko's instincts were. Her arm didn't hit along the chest or her neck, instead, it came into Haruko's hands, leaving Tammy surprised and unsure of what tactic to change to, beleiving it may be best to back away and think up something else.

Before she found that possible though, she felt a powerful kick hit her once again in the chest, similiar to before as it knocked Tammy breathless, coughing for breath as she clutched her stomach in a deep pain, buckling down to her knees where she was vulnerable. She hadn't fallen completely to the mat, leaving herself completely vulnerable to the armbar if Haruko wanted to pry one of the girl's arms aay from her belly to do so.

Haruko was determined to get her in this submission, and tried to reach up to grab Tammy's arm and would then lay back to secure the armbar, trying to wear down one of her limbs now.

On her knees still, Tammy was still coughing heavily, nearly collapsing momentarily to the mat as her chest ached with a terrible pain, leaving her breathless and stunned. The girl had such a powerul kick, and Tammy knew if she kept getting hit like that, then Haruko would surely win. Before the girl had a chance to get to her feet though, barely even aware of things after the attack right now, she suddenly felt a lockdown on her arm, Haruko beginning to wrap herself on Tammy's entire arm, putting a tremendous pressure and pull on her. "Ergn.. l-let me go! St-Stop th-that! Aaagh!" Her voice actually elevating a bit now from it's once dull tone, Tammy yelped out in pain, struggling hard but to no avail as she was on her knees still, her arm completely subjected to a terrible pain. She could barely focus on coming up with a plan with the agony in her gut and the torture along her arm, but she still tried her best not to go down.

Haruko smiled as she got the hold locked in, but she wanted to make it worse as she slung the weight of her legs into Tammy, trying to topple her onto her back and really get her in trouble with this submission as she would drape her legs over Tammy's chest and lock the armbar in much more securely.

Though she was a resiliant girl for a Kawaii, and she handled herself well in submissions and grapples, Tammy was finding it nearly impossible to get a break from the armbar hold, finding herself falling back as her knees gave out when Haruko's legs locked along her chest and the weight became too much to bare. Her arm was taking the full brunt of the hold, and she could do no more then yell out in pain as she tried to tug weakly in an attempt to escape. It was no good though, her arm was in tight, and the more she pulled, the more it hurt.

Taking a few struggled breaths as she lied against the mat, she tried to bite back the pain, but found it impossible as she let out a yelp with every tug and her arm felt like it was being crushed and pulled from it's socket. With a struggled attempt, Tammy pulled herself together and focused all her strength into her free arm before trying to throw a punch to Haruko. Do to the hold, the farthest she could reach was the girl's upper thighs and waist, and so she started to wildly slam the back of her fist into Haruko, doubting it would help much, but having little else she could do as she tried to fight through the agony.

Haruko smiled as she had the kawaii good, keep the lock wrenched tightly, until Tammy started to hammer away at her thighs and waist. "H-hey! Ow! Quit it!" She protested before finally letting go of her.

When Haruko released her, Tammy felt a blissful releif, panting for breath as she immediattly started to favor her arm, clenching it in pain and rubbing it a few times as she lied on her back still. The black haired, cat ear wearing girl felt like her entire arm was dreadfully numb, and she hardly felt like she could move it as she managed to slowly get herself up. Stumbling slightly, she continued to breath heavily, her legs even rattling do to the shortness of breath from her aching gut, and she tried to gather herself.

"You're... really good..." She said between breaths, steeling herself as her right arm laid limp to her side, still clutching it and trying to mend the pain as she backed away a little, hoping to find a moment to recooperate herself. Her opponant was better than she thought, and at this rate, she may not be able to win. She had to come up with a strategy and quick.

Haruko smiled a little at the compliment, and worked herself back to her feet, feeling herself getting pumped up now that she was winning, and bouncing lightly on her feet while circling her, waiting for Tammy to come at her so she could work her over some more.

Though she tended to be void of emotion most of the time, Tammy was beginning to find some respect for Haruko. The girl had skill, she seemed to like neko's just like Tammy had seeing as how they both wore cat ears (though Tammy still didn't know it was real), and she proved to have a lot of experiance. Faintly, a light smile actually crossed her lips, though only a little, it still was clear to see if anyone was looking at her.

Slowly she removed her hand from her injured arm, slowly raising it and trying to make a fist, wincing at how much it hurt right now. For now, that was okay though, she didn't need it for what she had planned next. Raising her arms again in a grappling stance, even though it hurt tremendousy to put up her injured arm, Tammy made a dash for Haruko, once again going for a spearing tackle.

But that wasn't what she really had planned, this was just a fient. Haruko had seen Tammy do this a few times already, so she wanted the girl to beleive she would continue this tactic. But near the last moment, she went lower than before, and put her shoulders into the next attempt, going for a powerful shoulder tackle right at the girl's hips.

Haruko blinked oddly at Tammy's smile, but then smiled back, her tail twitching slowly as she slowly paced around her. She awaited Tammy's move patiently, and watched as she charged in. She tried to hop to the side, but she didn't hop far enough. What would happen instead, was Tammy would still slam her shoulder into Haruko, but with her bad arm. Haruko went down to her back afterwards, and would try to put her fists back up again, ready for another brawl on the ground.
