Just a couple days before, Chaka had dueled Wakia and come out victorious. Shisa had a hard time dealing with her big-headed brother normally but he seemed to be taking his win against their father very seriously and just the way he smiled was driving Shisa insane. She was smaller than Chaka but she was smarter and perhaps even a bit faster. She would not be mismatched and so she had challenged him, hoping to take him back down a peg. Or at least to make him stop smirking so. She was confident she could teach him a lesson, there was no point going into a fight thinking you were going to lose.
"OK, Chaka," she called to her brother, standing a few feet away from him and wearing a small smile of her own, "Are you ready?"

Since winning against his father, it was true that Chaka had been walking around with a different spring in his step and a smug smile on his face. Things were not really much different and it had been a very close match but the fact that he had managed to overtake his father, the lion any son would look up to when they were young.. well, it was a big deal to him. The idea of his sister beating him was laughable at this point, particularly since she was smaller than he was and she seemed just a little too upset to use her head to make up for it.
"Ladies first," he said, hoping to push more buttons and make her that much farther from clear thought.

Move: Hit
The comment succeeded in annoying Shisa but she managed to suppress a roll of her eyes and moved forward. Her first step was slow as she considered her options very quickly. She could lunge at him, an obvious first move but something that would leave her open to be thrown down again because of the size difference-- and the obviousness. She could swipe at him, try to catch him off guard and give him a good knock in the head or try to get him off his feet. She could just run at him, but that also put her weight against his.
So she did what she thought was best, jumping forward to give the impression she was ready to pounce but reaching out a paw and aiming her claws a bit lower than his head in hopes of catching him in an evasive move.

Move: Miss
Chaka smirked at the twitch in her eye when he invited her to make the first move, bracing himself and watching her step forward. Falling for her trick, he expected a pounce when she jumped closer and did indeed duck his head down in preparation for a counter-strike. He was caught below the eye, her claws dragging across his cheek and leaving only once they hit his gritted teeth. With a furious snarl, he lunged forward and reached with a massive paw to try and knock her off her feet.

Move: Hit
She moved quickly, putting her foot back down from the strike just as Chaka's outreached paw went by, catching her and keeping her on her feet as he managed to throw off the opposite leg. She didn't fall over but she stumbled, quickly thinking to turn the tactic back on her opponent. She stepped closer, nearly leaning right on him, reaching out with her claws extended as she aimed to knock the one leg left on the ground off balance and block the return of the other with her body.
"Too slow, Chaka," she muttered.

Move: Miss
He snarled when he realized his attack had failed, another move that slowed down his reaction as suddenly Shisa was extremely close to him. He couldn't see what she was doing but next thing he knew he had no front legs holding him up and he was heading for the sand. Flailing slightly, he tried to reach out and catch onto Shisa to bring her down with him, even attempting to bite onto her as he went but for as close as he was, he couldn't seem to get a good grip. Her taunting him wasn't helping, either.

Move: Hit
"Nope!" she chuckled as he tried to grab onto her on the way to the ground, reaching her claws out and using his body to push herself away, one paw catching him right on the nose. She stumbled back a couple steps, not attacking him again immediately. He was doing just pathetically, she already had him on the ground and he couldn't even take her with him.
"Come on, Chaka," she encouraged, a wicked smile on her face, "You can do better than that, get up." She shuffled back a bit and then forward again, watching for him to get up and anticipating some desperate attack.

Move: Miss
Chaka caught himself just short of landing face first in the sand, finding his footing again just in time after Shisa backed off, though he was crouching low from the effort. He glanced up to his sister furiously, narrowing his eyes and growling. He didn't waste his breath trying to respond and he didn't waste time thinking through how she was just trying to make him do something stupid, she knew he wouldn't think it through and he didn't seem to realize it.
He pushed himself up from the ground quick, lunging for her in hopes of knocking her down in a much more direct fashion. This wasn't lost yet, he just had to stop letting her get in the first shot.

Move: Hit
Too slow! As Chaka came flying toward her, Shisa leaped out of the way and spun herself back around and lunging at him in return, aiming to catch him from behind. He had hesitated just enough and acted predictably, he wasn't thinking though what he was doing-- or perhaps she was lucky in her guessing what his next move would be. Either way, she had the upper paw once again as she clung to his shoulder with one paw and snapped at his mane, aiming for a sensitive ear.

Move: Hit
Chaka roared when Shisa got a good hold on his ear, at first moving his head back in an effort to keep her from pulling on it more but he had to react or she was just going to keep dominating their fight. Gritting his teeth, he pushed himself backward, twisting his body and using his back legs in an effort to very awkwardly keep himself upright. His claws were extended, ready to strike should be manage to push her down or get turned around.

Move: Hit
Shisa held onto Chaka's ear but it was a tricky hold on a relatively small part of him and soon the weight of him pushing against her neck got the better of her. She released his ear and soon he had turned around entirely, his weight alone enough to push her to the ground. With a grunt, she hit the sand and kicked up with her hind legs, hoping to shove him off before he had completely landed and could pin her down. It was her only chance or there wouldn't be much left for her to do, his face would be all that was left to attack.

Move: Miss
He could have laughed when Shisa released his ear and he found them on their way to the ground, just about in the right position to finally allow him to take over in this duel- something that he was failing miserably at doing. He was caught off guard when suddenly his middle was struck with powerful feet, throwing him back up into the air and flipping him over her head. His claws barely got through her thick, dark fur as he tried to get a hold- or a strike- in before he went flying.
As soon as he landed, he was scrambling to get to his feet again to leap before she could get to her feet.

Total: 15-7 for Shisa, Shisa wins.
Shisa, still one step ahead of him, was already on her feet as he made an effort to get up. She leaped forward, her paws landing square on his head and forcing it down into the sand. She grinned wickedly, putting as her weight into holding his head down. Without his head, his body wouldn't be going anywhere- and he'd been hit, knocked over and thrown around enough now, he probably wasn't coordinated enough to pull something off now.
"I win," she declared with delight, leaning down a bit to look him in the eye but not releasing his head until he said what she wanted to hear, a condition that was very clear in the way she smiled at him.

Chaka was as good as seeing stars when Shisa pushed his head to the sand. Growling, his eyes were shut tightly as he tried to ignore the pain in his head and that annoying chuckle. She had him, she knew it, he knew it but now she wanted him to admit it. His growl didn't quiet as he opened an eye to look at her grumpily, resisting to the last minute.
"You win," he agreed, taking a deep breath when she removed her paws and sitting up slowly. Well, he had certainly learned something from this. And this was a fight she'd never let him live down.
Fin.
