SS 19 Hentai Championship - Natasha (c) vs. Sakura

The adrenalin pumping through Natasha's veins had the world slowed down to a crawl from her perspective, bright flashes of light out in the crowd coupled with the sound of thousands of people jumping to their feet proof that the match was at its end, the only question left was who would be declaed the winner in the end? Lucky had lost her balance and was toppling forward but not without taking Natasha along for the ride it seemed as the woman managed to sink her fingers under her outfit. She felt herself being dragged out of the ring and with no time for thoughts Natasha fell back on pure instinct alone. Her now free arm shot out to hook around the bottom rope, catching it in the crook of her elbow just as a splash of cool water fell across her back.

Lucky had gone head first into the pool but not without Natasha's lower body following so soon afterward that even the officials checking the footage frame by frame later on wouldn't be able to tell who had touched the water's surface first. Her body had so rarely felt hotter than it did in that moment, the match having lit an arousing fire in Natasha that had threatened to consume her, so the cold sting of the water was like a slap to the face. Time returned to normal for her in that moment, Natasha grabbing hold of her wrist just in time to secure her grip on that bottom rope. Even so she was slick with sweat, water, and Lucky's juices and her grip nearly broke and would have if not for the loud rip she heard next as her ring attire tore where Lucky had grabbed hold, leaving the woman with nothing to hold onto as she fell fully into the pool!

Natasha had shut her eyes in the chaos of the moment but the sound of enthusiastic cheering from the crowd, as well as the feeling of her lower half bobbing in the water without something pulling her down, made her open them. Lucky was nowhere to be seen in the ring. Glancing back over her shoulder she spotted the woman curface not far away but it was more than enough for the match to be called, Natasha letting out a deep sigh of relief before dragging herself back into the ring while the announcer made it official.

"And your winner and STILL Hentai Champion of the World, NATASHA LOCLEAR!"

*SPLASH!*

*GASP!*

Lucky SHOT up to the surface of the water, coughing and sputtering, trying to cleanse her lungs of all the water that had rushed into them during her surprise dip into the pool! One hand was splashing in the water, hand open, softly keeping the white-haired woman afloat... the other held a little prize: a piece of Natasha's bottoms held in a tight, shocked fist! Upon realizing what she held, the cheerleader BLUSHED heavily, tossing it away in Natasha's direction in embarrassment... and it was then that the winner would be announced!

NATASHA!

"Awwwwww! I was so CLOSE!" Lucky whined softly, puffing out her cheeks and frowning childishly, her mentor outmaneuvering her and picking up the win... but only just! Feeeeeeeh! It wasn't that she was a sore loser or anything! She lost other times (pretty badly too) and she never complained... But... but she was SO CLOSE and she lost by falling outta bounds! It just didn't feel right! It didn't feel like something the hentai Championship was supposed to be! Lucky quietly fumed for a few more seconds... before letting out a soft sigh and smiling over at her senpai... Well... she was still champion... and Lucky was still Lucky... Was that really a bad thing...?

...No... but... She couldn't just let this stand! Not when she knew she COULDA WON without those fancy shmancy water rules! Embarrassed by Natasha fooling her so completely, her own childish reaction and just how CLOSE she had come, Lucky would swim on over the edge of the pool nearest to her side of the exit and would PULL her way out onto dry land... She needed to go somewhere she could calm down for a bit... to think this over... Maybe she could convince Natasha for a rematch........?
