Round Two Masane Tajiri vs. Yatori Shizuku

After a short break, Yatori re-entered the ring minus her hat, trenchcoat and her bikini top.

That's right. She was topless, much to the delight of the fans.

It was her unique way of acknowledging Chigusa. Not to mention something that would certainly get a rise out of her next opponent. Yatori would take any advantage she could get. She made a promise, after all.

Oh, Masane~ look what I have in store for you~

Masane entered the ring too, unaware of who her next opponent was at the moment. She stepped out to the top of the ramp, taking a deep breath before starting to walk down it, raising an arm up in the air like she normally did, and climbed up into the ring to see... Yatori.. topless.

Her jaw almost dropped, both from the fact her opponent was Yatori, and she was topless.

"Y...you're my next opponent??" She asked in disbelief

Yatori grinned. "Hai!" she confirmed while waving her left hand in greeting. "I'm your Mid-Boss! Please take good care of me!"

Masane blinked as she spoke in that submissive tone and frowned a little, not taking her hand. "Yatori.. don't think you can take advantage of me like that. I may like you... a lot... but I have to win this." She replied, her eyes serious as she assumed her karate stance. "I won't let your distractions throw me off. Not in the ring."

Yatori blinked. Masane's seriousness was surprising. "Well," she noted, "You sound quite serious, Masane..." She grinned. "I think I'm going to have to help you relax- if you know what I mean."

She held up her hands right before the bell rung, then advanced on Masane, intent on provoking her opponent to strike her so she could get close.

Masane narrowed her eyes at Yatori as she still wasn't taking her seriously, and crouched down quick, aiming a kick for Yatori's shins to try and knock her down. She would not be afraid to strike her crush here tonight. "Yatori, I need to get through this round. There's someone I need to pay back, and I have people counting on me." She stated.

Yatori yowled as she got dropped on her front from a combination of Masane's powerful kick and her own surprise. That hurt! She's not holding back this time!

Hearing Masane's vow stopped her rise. "I... see..." I promised Chicchan, too... I need to get serious... She resumed getting up again...

Masane hopped away after Yatori fell to the ground, and then tried to dart in as Yatori tried to get back up and thrusted a forward kick aimed right for her face to try and knock her to her back once more. If that worked, she would try to throw an axe kick to Yatori's gut.

... and got kicked in the face for her effort.

Landing on her back gave her no relief as the hard heel of Masane's foot dug into her gut. Yatori was jolted out of her dizziness into gasping madly for air and relief, her stomach feeling like it had imploded.

"Guuuhhhhh!"

Masane then hopped back afterwards, allowing Yatori to get back up to her feet, her face almost expressionless as she stayed in her karate stance. "Friends outside the ring. Enemies inside it."
