Hannah's encounter with a demon ((for Raiye))

It had been a few weeks after she had successfully defended the title, and she was still healing a little from the battle, though most of her injurys were just scars, and she had no serious injurys anymore. Hannah sat in the back, looking at the title she had, thinking about how it would be harder to defend, even harder then past titles she won in her past federation HCW.

"My match with Sasha was a tough one, that kid could certainly fight, and my match with Liberty was a doozy, I thought I was out for sure, but I guess we are tied now, one to one...." Hannah sat there thinking to herself, unaware of anything and everything that was going on around her.

This was it, another step for Akuma to take and another vital one at that. This was no easy move, it was something Akuma herself had to deal with. Whenever Akuma had her eyes set on something, it was gone. It started with Lute and Cerbera, then The Horus Heresy and now her eyes were set on Hannah. The Hardcore ' queen ' has had quite a run and perhaps that title was well deserved, she managed to defend it succesfully against numerous opponents.. But that came with a price, and that price was her body.

For too long has Akuma idly watched, waited like a vulture for her prey to catch up with her fatigue. While it was a little overdo, which had allowed Hannah to recover from her previous match but that pleased Akuma nonetheless.. She had waited for the champion to be alone, somewhere private...

" Ah, the Hardcore champion, finally we meet! "

All of a sudden, Akuma was infront of Hannah, walking up to her with her arms folded within her long sleeves, looking... Happy? She had a bright smile on her face, a rather innocent looking expression and a cheery tone of voice.

" Could I trouble you with a bunch of questions? "

Hannah had not responded for a few seconds, before looking up to the smiling face of Akuma. Hannah had no clue who she was, though that had not bothered her, it made her a little uneasy because Hannah had problems trusting people she didn't know, let alone people who seemed that happy to see her. Though, she could have been a fan, like Liberty was, so she should and would give this woman a chance.

"Uh, yeah okay....I guess I could answer some questions."

" Ah! Excellent! My Daughter would be most pleased to hear I have spoken with the Hardcore Champion! "

Again her voice seemed cheery, and her expression was rather happy. Taking a step closer to Hannah to stand directly infront of you and decided to actually give her some questions to work with. Meanwhile her fingerless leather gloves gripped tightly within her long sleeves, remaining perfectly hidden.

" Well.. Let's start with a question! How did you feel when you first took that belt? "

"Daughter huh? She a fan? Oh right, you are asking the questions. Hmm, I felt good I would say, it was a good fight which is always a great feeling for me!" Hannah would say with a smile, she thought that this woman had a personality that had spread to her like a virus.

" So! How are you feeling now? Im sure you have had many matches! "

That smile really seemed to stay as a standard expression for Akuma to use, she had leaned over, so that she was in striking range of Hannah but did not make a move yet, she still had to confirm some stuff with this opponent before she would attack.. Because exploiting someone is so much easier then attacking them.

"Well I am a bit sore from my last match and from the match before, but I am getting better!" Hannah would say, she was still sore, and she didn't see any reason to hide that secret from Akuma.

"By the way, I haven't caught your name yet stranger..." Hannah would say.

" My name? " Akuma said with a more idiotic expression, taking a step closer towards Hannah and bowed down infront of her, graceful and accurate like that of a Chinese general bowing to his lord. " My name is Akuma, it's a pleasure to meet you, miss Hannah. "'

She remained in a bowed stance, mostly because she was ready to attack her, just waiting for the one step that led Hannah to the trap.

Hannah was a little confused, she was used to just a handshake, but then she had remembered that's how you do things in Japan. Hannah would stand up and would bow, greeting her back.

The moment Hannah stood and bowed to her, was the cue that Akuma needed. She gathered her strength, clenching her hand into a tight fist and made sure not a inch of weakness could dismantle that fist. " I'm afraid I have lied, Lady Hannah.. " She then suddenly unfolded her arms, bringing her arm back and showed the black fingerless leather glove with a skull on the back of the hand. " I just needed you within range. " Akuma smirked, bringing her fist down and forward in a half moon motion and tried to uppercut Hannah right in the chin the moment she had bowed.
