Bed Wrestling Revenge! (Akiko vs. Claire)

Claireâ€s tactic of charging directly into her rival, perhaps unsurprisingly, did not meet with very much success. Just as her head ran into Akikoâ€s stomach, the ninja girl would bring her knee upwards, slamming it hard into Claireâ€s face. The schoolgirlâ€s eyes rolled as she blacked out for a second. That hit had been a particularly effective one, when her own speed, the power behind the blow, and the angle of attack were all factored in. Her momentum would continue to carry her into Akiko, probably bringing the two of them down onto the bed, but Claire was now very dazed and more than a little weakened.

“Uuuuhh…” she groaned, rubbing her head. She knew that Aki was right beside her, and was probably going to try to take advantage of her pathetic state. She needed to buy herself some time. “Oooh…A-Aki…you w-wouldnâ€t hurt l-little old me…would you?” she asked, in her best innocent, childlike voice. To complete the illusion, she would chew on one finger nervously, trying to do her best impression of an untouchably cute kid.

Claire had been hit in just the right—or wrong—spot by that knee, and all of the damage she had taken in their fight was finally beginning to catch up with her. She had really needed some mercy from Akiko, or at least just some hesitation on her part in order to build up some strength to retaliate. Unfortunately, Akiko only paused for a second before resuming her assault, her legs sliding into place around the now-terrified schoolgirlâ€s neck.

“N-no! A-Aki!” Claire screamed, her hands pulling desperately at her rivalâ€s legs as she fought for air. She was very close to passing out and losing this little battle. Desperate to get free, Claire would try to find Akikoâ€s leg with her mouth and bite down—not hard enough to break the skin, hopefully, but at least hard enough to force the ninja girl to let her go. But if she didnâ€t…

As soon as Akiko managed to reestablish her choke hold, Claire knew that she was in a very bad position. She was weak. Her desperate, last-ditch attempt at freeing herself had failed. The battle had worn on for what felt like hours, each girl taking her lumps and giving her fair share, but, in the end, it was looking more and more like the Japanese girl was going to emerge victorious yet again. Claireâ€s vision began to blur. She began to gag, her arms shooting up to her rivalâ€s legs trying desperately to loosen them. “No..n-n-no…” she wheezed, tears dampening her cheeks and running down to splash against the ninja girlâ€s thighs. “No…no…please…”

Concentrating on Akikoâ€s words was difficult due to the lack of oxygen reaching her brain, but she managed to make out what her rival was saying, and then managed to wheeze out a reply between desperate gasps for air. “I…Iâ€m not crying because Iâ€m losing…Iâ€m c-crying because it hurts, you idiot!” she hissed. “And if you w-want to win, youâ€re going to have…have to ch-choke me out! D-do your worst!”

Bracing herself for what was to come, Claire went over their battle in her mind. She knew that she could have won. She should have won. They would fight again, and Claire was going to take Akiko down, no matter what. But, despite her strong feelings about the matter, she didnâ€t hate the ninja girl. She was beginning to think of her as a friend, and, deep down, Claire felt very fond of the other girl.

After what had seemed like hours of fierce combat, Claire knew that she was not going to escape again. She had come close to defeating Akiko at several points, as had the ninja girl come close to defeating her. It just so happened that Akiko was the one who was finally able to take advantage. Claire couldnâ€t help but feel a little disappointed. She really should have won this. But, now that it was over, all of the special stipulations that she had proposed would come into play…

She stopped thinking, and squeezed her eyes shut. The thinking took more air than she had. She could do nothing but drool and wait for unconsciousness. A minute ticked by, then two, before finally Claireâ€s lungs could draw no air from beyond the blockade of Akikoâ€s legs, and the schoolgirl passed out.
