Luke didn't exactly have what you would call "real combat experience". Sure, he'd been in plenty of stupid street fights when he was a teenager in middle and highschool but that didn't exactly matter much when it came to fighting against the supernatural. He'd tussled with a Hollow before and had knocked it unconscious with a lead pipe, and even assisted his pal Impossible with dealing with a building breaking homeless person. Okay so technically that was combat experience but it certainly wasn't anything in comparison to what Yetsuna had under her belt, Heh. Shinigami were trained for war. They held drills each and every day to hone their combat skills in order to fight against the enemies that waged war against them. In comparison to Yetsuna, Luke was a paper tiger facing off against a monsoon.
There was a solid thunk as the stone sword he was borrowing found itself colliding with the shield that Yetsuna had crafted for herself. Luke wasn't going to comment on the fact that it was kind of unfair that she was givin a shield so instead he viewed it as a challenge which would make his victory, if he earned it, even more worthwhile. But he couldn't focus on that at the moment. Yetsuna was throwing a kick at his left arm, which Luke responded to by flexing his left arm up and pulling his forearm in close to his biceps to better absorb the blow. He wasn't in a good position to dodge it all the way, and he would rather take the hit somewhere he knew he could minimalize the damage versus somewhere random like had he dodged.
The blow, sure enough, rattled the young mans arm. For a moment it felt like it had went numb right before a wave of soreness flowed through it. It wasn't as bad, actually, as Luke was thinking. He might have a bruise afterwards but it really wasn't something he couldn't take. But Luke wasn't going to back down from getting hit once. When Yetsuna landed her kick against him Luke took a second to deal with the pain but then found his arm wrapping itself around her leg and pinning it under his armpit and against his torso. All Luke had to do was strike her once right? If he was able to slow her down and keep her from moving for just a second then he might have just had a shot at winning. "Go for her tit!"
"I've got you now!"
Ignoring Jäger, Luke lunged forward towards Yetsunas body while still holding onto her leg. The plan was simple. By holding her leg and restricting her movement, Luke would suddenly leap up and forward to, in his head, cause the woman to lose her balance. Doing so would throw her off, and have her unable to respond appropriately to the stone sword that was being swung at her waist, on the shield less side of her body. It was a totally stupid plan, and only something someone with little to no combat experience would pull, but Luke was both stupid and experienceless. At least he had heart though.
