Reluctant prey - Andariel vs Okami

When Andariel ran straight into him that way, Okami tried to crouch down and lift suddenly, aiming to perform a back body-drop on his charging opponent.

If successful, he would use the elf-girl momentum in order to make her fall into the soft grass. Otherwise, she would tackle him down, where he would remain stunned for a few moments.

Andariel's eyes went wide as Okami managed to dodge, and even counter her tackle. How dare him! The elf hit the grass with her back strongly, grunting as she did. She'd remain stunned on the ground, looking up at the bright hot sphere the sun was. She was honestly amazed by Okami's skills. "What... was that...?" She wondered, blinking a few times. When she tried to stand up, she'd feel a terrible pain in her back, keeping her on the ground for a little longer.

Okami's wolf personality urged him to pounce on the downed girl. Though, when he kneeled down by Andariel and placed a hand on her chest to hold her down, he was just unable to hit the lovely looking elf.

"Y-Your not hurt... are you..?", he rather asked with cute, silly gentleness to the huntress. From which, she might either assume that he was mocking her.. or that he was a very ingenuous kind of prey.

Andariel looked up at her opponent. 'Wow... He has balls for coming right at me.... Too bad.' The elf thought as she kept staring at Okami. However, this was a simple distraction she'd use to keep her opponent focused on her eyes, while she quickly moved both hands to Okami's wrist and tried to twisting it violently for a counter. "Oh, you're SO gonna regret you ever came to this forest, dear." Andariel said right before attempting to reach the boy's wrist.

Andariel's distraction worked, as Okami remained as entranced for a few seconds, what she needed to grab his wrist and unbalance him, so that he fell into the grass as well. "Unfffhhh...!!"

Andariel proceeded to sit on Okami's back, twisting his full arm behind his back for a more painful version of a hammerlock. "You know... I could break your arm right now. So why dont you just give up and walk right into the pot? I'm sure you'll enjoy being in my belly." Andariel could already savour what Okami would taste like, but what she just said was a test. A test that will decide if the boy was worth living or not. If he just gave up, she'd call Repede to bite his neck to finish him off. But if he didnt, and decided to keep fighting, she'd starting thinking about accepting Okami's offer to take her out for dinner.

"Nghhh... i like you but i told you once... i'm not going to be your dinner..!"
, he protested, squirming in her grip and refusing to give up, though he was not managing to dislodge her from her comfortable seat on his back at the moment.

Andariel grinned at Okami's answer. It was right what she expected. The elf slowly stopped twisting his arm and started standing up and off her opponent's back, stepping away from him and giving him some space to move. "Come on. Bring it, boy." She said, motioning her hands and inviting Okami to attack her.

Okami blinked at the lovely elfgirl's strange behavior. Though, he wouldn't have her repeat her invitation twice:
Crouching back for a moment like if he really was a wolf or some savage animal, he let out a soft snarl and thrusted forward, aiming to catch her in a standing headlock.

Andariel intentionally allowed Okami to catch her in the headlock, considering it a good position to punch him on the side. Without wasting a second, the elf would start launching her fists to Okami's side, not only trying to free herself, but to hurt the boy as much as she could while it lasted.
