Haruko Hitamura vs Lilly Lemon

Haruko let out a hiss when Lilly started to drag her away from the ropes and would try to use her free leg to kick her hard in the gut, trying to knock her away before she could shift the submission hold on her.

Lilly felt the kick to her gut and instinctively let go. She would back into a corner, waiting for Haruko to get up while she held her stomach where she had been kicked, putting on more of an act as though it truly hurt her severely to both entice the crowd as well as perhaps lure her opponent.

Haruko had learned not to take mercy on her opponent until after the match was done. She started to get up, shaking her head softly before getting into a grappling stance. She waited for Lilly to drop the act. She was determined to win her first match back here.

Lilly saw the determined look on her opponent's face and nodded, realizing this was going to be decided by who was the top girl in the match. With this, she walked to the center of the ring, looking at Haruko dead in the eyes. She accepted the grapple, immediately grabbing her opponent's arms and leaning in towards her. Should she have an opportune moment, Lilly will immediately try and hook her foot on Haruko's opposite foot, looking to trip her opponent, after which she would follow through with her body falling flat against Haruko's.

Haruko wasn't looking for a test of strength this time around, and would try to nail Lilly in the stomach with a knee. If she keeled over, she would try to move around behind Lilly while they were both in the center of the ring, and she would try to lock her up in an abdominal stretch. "Ha!"

As Lilly moved to try and trip Haruko, she found her own leg met by the leg of her opponent on its way up. Quickly thinking to protect herself, she would retract her leg to block the knee to her gut. She would immediately back up, trying to rethink her plan.

All right...so this one really means business.....I like...

Lilly backed against the ropes, stretching them as she used them to propel herself at Haruko, holding her arm straight out for a clothes line fake. Should Haruko fall for the fake, Lilly will go a little past her and then quickly reach underneath, pulling Haruko onto her back for a quick roll-up.

Haruko would see Lilly bouncing off the ropes, and then try to throw herself to the side to avoid Lilly and catch her in a drop toe hold and make Lilly fall flat on her face!

Lilly was so flustered by her rookie mistakes as she found herself falling face-first from the drop toe hold. She immediately grabbed her nose upon impact, not broken, but definitely hurting. Her breasts provided somewhat of a cushion for the rest of her body, however, but she was stuck in this situation yet again. Had she really fallen so far in talent since leaving her underground league? Or were they all just amateurs compared to the women in this league?

Haruko moved quick, trying to clamber on top of Lilly's legs, and would try to grab Lilly by the shoulders to set her up on her knees. She would then try to grab Lilly's arms and cross them over her chest before holding on tight to Lilly's hands and leaning back with all she had, digging her knees into Lilly's upper back as well.

Lilly was so preoccupied in her thoughts that before she knew it, her back was in pain. "Ahhhh!" she let out the cry of agony as she felt Haruko's knees digging into her back.

God Damn It!!! she thought, seeing no way out than to endure the stretch.
