Natalie's eyes widened just a bit when Renee kneed her in the crotch- Even if she was a woman, it still hurt. And then Renee grabbed her hair! Well, then. Now she knew how Renee fought, and that told her one thing: Renee wanted to win, even if it was by 'fighting dirty.' Natalie thought she had made enough observations by now, and launched a full-scale attack.
While Renee was still off-balance, Natalie did her best to ignore the pain and so she ran into Renee, pulling the girl down as violently as she could in a way that would certainly knock her over if pulled off correctly. Natalie hoped it would. It was a risky move, for certain, but Natalie thought that people had to take risks in order to succeed. Besides, Renee was willing to take risks as well, and Natalie knew that to win against someone like that, she had to be prepared to take these risks.

Before Renee was able to mentally celebrate her little victory over Natalie, in that she got not just one, but two hits in, she found herself being being more or less tackled. Well, that put her in an awkward position. That was really stupid, she thought. Like that, there was no way that either of them could protect themselves. So, she did the only thing she could think of to do, and that was to start thrashing crazily. She thought she felt her elbow connect with something, but it might have been the floor for all she knew, for she was paying absolutely no attention to anything but hitting and kicking and otherwise striking anything she possibly could. It was a really terrible strategy, but being pulled to the ground left one with very few options. Not only were they both unable to protect themselves, but the person who had pulled the other down had an advantage of being on top.

Natalie rolled her eyes when Renee began thrashing around and set a punch to the girl's nose. There would be blood, she supposed, but she'd live. Natalie hoped that the punch was enough. She probably could have done more to the girl and hurt her in other ways, but she didn't want to reveal the tricks up her sleeve quite yet.
Renee's elbow connected with Natalie's chin and so Natalie sent another punch towards the girl's chest. Ow. This fight was hurting more than she had thought it would. Natale now found herself remembering why she despised fair fights- They were so droll and painful and you didn't have nearly as many options!
Of course, Lilith wanted the girl alive, so Natalie didn't have so many options. Lilith wouldn't have brought her someone to just kill. Maybe one of the lords of sin would have to their subordinates, but Lilith was different. And that was exactly why Natalie liked her.

Renee felt something connect with her nose. It hurt like hell, and she could soon smell that it was bleeding. However, Natalie was wrong if she thought a little bit of blood would bother her, even if it was her own. Despite this, the pain DID bother her, as much as she tried to deny it. In fact, she would not admit it, and she would continue to show it as little as possible, but it did hurt. The nose was a sensitive area.
That gave her an idea, which she was about to use when she felt herself being hit in the chest. It was again painful, and the force behind it was enough to make her have to catch her breath. If only Natalie were germaphobic, this would be an extremely easy fight. Of course, she was not, to Renee's knowledge, so she didn't count on it.
Once she had caught her breath, she aimed to headbutt Natalie in the face. It would be painful to both of them, but much more to the one getting hit in the face, Renee thought.

Natalie's eyes unfocused for a second at the blood and she blinked a few times. Her eyes opened right in time to notice Renee about to headbutt her. She quickly moved her head and torso out of the way and then grabbed Renee's hair and dug her fingernails into Renee's scalp.
"This is the best you've got?" she whispered into Renee's ear. Her breathing wasn't heavy and she sounded perfectly fine- Certainly not like someone who was currently in an epic fight. Then again, there were reasons for that, of course. There were reasons for everything.
Natalie tended to be a reasonable person, after all.
However, her voice was rather flat and she sounded as though she was scientifically observing someone- Or rather, something. It might have sounded a little creepy, especially with her Eastern European accent.
In any case, Natalie decided that Renee would most likely have to work on her fighting skills- Especially if she ran into someone stronger than Natalie. However, Renee did have potential to do well, as sullen as she seemed. Reznova decided that she would have to talk with Lilith later on.

Renee was frustrated at her miss (a NEAR miss, she insisted), and even more when she felt her head being jerked about. It was a bad position for her, and she knew it. She had to get out of this one, but the question was, how? Having never been in such a position, she had never attempted to practice it.
The way that Natalie had asked that pissed her off all the more. Instead of replying verbally, she decided to instead bite her as hard as she could. Most people would not resort to such tactics, but that did not bother her in the slightest. With that, knowing that if she succeeded, the lieutenant would probably at least be surprised enough to slightly lose her balance, she rolled to the side in a way that if it worked out as she hoped, she would come out on top instead. Then it would be she who had the advantage.

Natalie blinked, surprised when Renee bit her. It hurt, yes, but she wasn't quite sure. . This was. . A strange situation. Natalie couldn't help but smirk. This was ridiculous. Was Renee really biting her? Yes. Yes she was. It was so strange. Renee was trying to use what she did against her.
Natalie dug her fingernails into Renee's scalp deeper and tore her head away from Natalie's neck. "Don't try to beat me at my own game," Natalie warned her. She was still balanced- Renee hadn't regained control. Really, Natalie wasn't even sure if it was worth fighting with her anymore.
She wasn't quite sure if she could take Renee seriously now. Not after this. She thought for a moment. Well, Renee certainly didn't know that Natalie wasn't human. It was a perfectly human mistake, of course, and unsurprising that Renee would make it. Still, though. . Natalie couldn't keep the damn smirk off of her normally cold face.

Renee was getting more and more irritated by all of this by the minute. Natalie was not even fighting her now! She had pulled her away, effectively stopping that particular attack, but that was it. It was becoming more and more obvious to her that the lieutenant really did think she was better than her, and he was still refusing to accept that. It was true that she had no idea what Natalie was, and automatically assumed her to be human due to her shape being that of a human, but even had she known, she most likely would still insist that she was a better fighter and somehow think of an excuse for it. Prideful? Perhaps.. Whatever the case may be, she refused to think that anyone would be better than her.
Even if Natalie was not actively continuing the fight, Renee would not give up until the lieutenant gave up. She did not quite have enough space to punch her effectively, so she resorted to pinching. It was getting just plain childish now, but she saw it as a perfectly reasonable tactic. She also wished she had brought a weapon of some sort with her.

Natalie rolled her eyes at the pinching. Yes, it hurt a little, but really, pinching? Come on, that was what children did on playgrounds, wasn't it? She drew back one hand, the one that was not in Renee's hair, and used the heel of her palm to smash into Renee's chest.
"I think it's over," Natalie said curtly, although she didn't get off of Renee. Not yet. She didn't trust the girl to not attack her while she was getting up. After all, Renee had used plenty of dirty little tricks this round, and so Natalie was not going to fall for one quite yet. Plus, she needed to see how Renee would react to that statement.
Really, though, it did show how absolutely desperate people could get. Then again, that wasn't to say Natalie was positively sure that demons, when presented with a situation such as this, would not do desperate and perhaps irrational things.

Renee felt pleased at what she thought of as a victory. "You're giving up? Ok." Of course she could not just leave it at that, she just had to add that final comment. Then again, it was nothing compared to what she did to most people she fought. However, most of them also did not really fight back much. Naturally, since it was rather difficult to fight back when somebody had already tied you to a chair or something and you were being slowly tortured. She decided that Natalie did not seem like a fun victim anyway. She would put up too much of a fuss and just get overall irritating, most likely. There would only be so much the lieutenant could do to fight back, and maybe it would be a bit fun, but she doubted that it would be worth it. Besides, she was obviously somebody Lilith cared about-- of course Renee insisted that did not matter to her in the slightest, but it did.
