Round 4: Reiko Kanamori vs Kiku Shiori

Kiku had just put her fundoshi back in its place when, unnoticed, Reiko walked behind her and gripped its sides. "AH!" The cloth once again rushed up at her folds, and the surprise attack was enough to lift Kiku off her feet, making her fundoshi rub strongly and undo all the relief that she had achieved just then. She kicked around in the air, pained and embarrassed from having the intrusive garment support her whole weight, but as Reiko was behind her Kiku could not kick her properly. She was thrown down to the mat and had her body pinned down by Reiko's, as she hadn't recovered from the painful shock.

"Yes!" Reiko cheered as she finally got an advantage over the more experienced sumo wrestler. She would try to shift her body around so she is facing Kiku's legs, also trying to pin down the girl's arms underneath her knees in the process while sitting her butt on her upper back. After that is done, she would reaffirm her grip on Kiku's fundoshi sides and pull hard with all her might.

Feeling Reiko's bare butt sitting on top of her, Kiku knew that she was in a very bad position, and she reacted almost without thinking. Her slim arms fled from the entrappings of Reiko's knees before they could be pinned, and she propped herself up to get her upper body off the mat at once. Without facing her opponent, Kiku was feeling awfully vulnerable, so she pushed herself up as quickly as she could to get Reiko out of her back.

"W-Woah!" Reiko yelled as she felt Kiku rising underneath her. She was surprised that this girl has the strength to even propel her up from this position. However, she would not waver herself, and decided to pull hard on Kiku's fundoshi, hoping that will make the little girl reconsider her actions and force her back down in dire pain from the deadly pull, keeping her own balance at the meantime.

Instead of deterring Kiku, Reiko's pull worked lie a spur on a horse's side, and the sudden rush of pain made her even move energetically, thrashing in yet another attempt to dislodge her. Containing a yelp, she tried to move forward on her hands and knees fast enough to get away from Reiko.

"Wah!?" Reiko yelped as Kiku's reaction, something that she did not expect, managed to let the little girl escape from under her legs. She turned around, wanting to go after her, before she decided not to, since it would be too risky and she could have fallen into a trap. "Not bad Kiku-chan!" She praised as she decided to stay back and let her opponent recover for a while.

Kiku escaped on her hands and knees, then looked back at Reiko. "Heh... thanks..." She was a bit embarrassed of having lowered her guard, but right now it was nice of Reiko to let her go. She smiled sheepishly at Reiko as she turned on one knee. "You almost had me there. Nice one..." She got up, but then crouched forward, knees bent, with her fists almost touching the mat. "... so you'd better prepare yourself for my next move!" Her eyes darted directly at Reiko as the small wrestler sudden went from her crouch to a high-speed dash, keeping her shoulders low as she surged at Reiko. Kiku was attempting a traditional sumo shoulder tackle!

Reiko narrowed her eyes as soon as Kiku crouched down, and then jolted them wide open when she charged at her. She was impressed with the smaller girl's speed, but she was used to fighting fast opponents, for she is fast herself, and knows very well how to counter that move. At the last second, she would try to side-step the charge and extend one of her leg to trip the sumo wrestler down onto the mat.

Reiko's foot extended at the last moment, taking the little sumo by surprise and tripping her towards the mat. She fell with a squeal, then looked back at Reiko, surprised that her attack had failed. She prided herself in her speed, so it wasn't every day that she found someone as quick as her. Still, even though she had been stopped, she didn't want to lose the momentum of the match, so she would try to quickly get up and face Reiko before she was put on the defensive again.
