Haruka Tenou vs Kyo Akamatsu

Feeling Haruka struggling in his grip, Kyo knew he wouldn't be able to hold onto her long before she fought her way out. Instead of maintaining the squeeze, he twisted his body spinning around as he dropped down to his back, aiming to ram Haruka head-first into the mat.

Haruka was dropped on her head by the DDT.

She gave a harsh cry and rolled on her side grabbing her head and wincing in pain.

Not wasting any time, Kyo dropped down, pushing Haruka onto her back and draping his body across hers, hooking one of her legs for an early pin. He knew that she would probably break this pin, and knew, with a little bit of regret, that he would have to work Haruka over much more than this if he was going to get the win.

Haruka was rolled over and Kyo would be able to lift one of her long, toned legs up into the air for the start of the pinfall attempt. However after a full count of one, Haruka would actually used the hooked leg to kick out strongly and sit up with a fist raised defiantly.

Kyo had been expecting as much: Haruka didn't seem like the type of person to go down easily, and he hadn't done much to soften her up before the pinfall. Still, now that he had the advantage in this match, he wasn't about to let her off easily.

As Haruka rose to a sitting position, Kyo moved behind her, sliding his left arm around her own left while sliding his right arm under her armpit, snaking it around her throat and grabbing onto her left shoulder to lock in a sleeper hold. Even if this didn't knock Haruka out, he knew, it would still wear her down quite a bit.

The DDT and the pinfall had convinced Haruka she needed to step it up a notch.

As Kyo got behind her to lock in the sleeper, she would grab at his arm, using her own strength to try and prevent him from locking in the hold too tight. At the same time she fought her way back to her feet and if got to stand up she would attempt to drop in a sudden sit out to try and crack Kyo's jaw on her head and get him off her.

Kyo was startled as Haruka grabbed his arm. Before he could counter, she dragged him down sharply, slamming his jaw hard against her shoulder. Pain shot through his jawbone as his molars clacked together, and he fell back away from Haruka, stumbling onto his knees and clutching his hurting jaw.

Stupid...should have known that wouldn't have worked...should have softened her up more first... he mentally berated himself as he tried to get back to his feet.

Haruka staggered up in front of him back turned. But as she got to her feet she would suddenly pivot and swing her foot hard up at his chin in a big kick attack.

If Haruka's earlier attack on his chin had been a flaring sensation of pain, then this was an explosion. Kyo could have sworn he heard something crunch as he toppled onto his back, his lower jaw a seething mass of agony. Before he even realized it, he was rolling left and right on his back, clutching his lower jaw as a stifled moan came from his mouth. "Mmmmmnnnnnnnh!"

Haruka took a few steps back having her hands up defensively and moving her feet like a boxer as she saw Kyo splayed on the ground. She didn't think Kyo would be done in yet so she would actually wait for him to rise up.

If he did she would circle him with 3 punches to the face moving as she went and then following up with two kicks to the ribs.
