Round 1: Tammy Naga vs Kiku Shiori

Kiku planted her feet on the mat and started working on Tammyâ€s neck, forcing it against her radius. Even with Tammy not showing signs of tiredness, Kiku had the impression that she could actually win with this move, and she felt like she would be able to keep her trapped all night. Smirking at the thought, she gave a slightly tighter squeeze to Tammyâ€s neck before asking, “Do you give up?”

However, just as she said that, she noticed that Tammyâ€s center of weight had changed subtly, but distinctly. Not really able to look down at Tammyâ€s legs in that position, Kiku could only use their close-up contact to feel what Tammy was doing. Her small body leaning on Tammy and her bare legs touching her from behind worked as her eyes; needless to say, this was a difficult thing to do, and it required her some precious seconds to read Tammyâ€s intentions.

But, in the same moment everything started downing on her, Tammy interrupted her thoughts most inconsiderably by jostling her upwards. The motion surprised her and dislodged her balance, which was exactly what Tammy needed, apparently. Kiku then felt the cat-eared girl grabbing her by the shoulder and wrist. That was, due to bad luck, her injured wrist, and the short jolt of pain that sprang from it made her wince. As the move continued, Kiku reacted, more from reflex than anything else. As her feet were forced to leave the mat, the little sumo made an effort to move her legs and coil them around Tammyâ€s body; if she did that on time, sheâ€d be completely hugging Tammy from behind with all her meager weight on top of her, wanting to avoid getting thrown at all costs.

Damn she was persistent! And she really wouldnâ€t drop this hold, making it harder and harder for Tammy to get a breath of air! Fortuantely, she managed to get a little in her when she nearly threw the girl off, and Tammy was smart enough to keep her head turned to the side at the corner of Kikuâ€s elbow, giving her just a small breath between it all, but it still wasnâ€t enough for her. Feeling Kikuâ€s legs wrapping around her now, that was Tammy sign that she really was in trouble. But just as Kiku remained stubborn about taking her down, Tammy was just as stubborn, if not more than she was. Grunting in annoyance and pain as she gave faint gasps for breath, the crowd cheered when they saw how Kiku was practically grinding her chest against Tammyâ€s back, and how her hips and crotch were right around Tammyâ€s waist. But the black haired girl found no pleasure from it, as she started to stagger a bit, looking for a way to get Kiku down. And then, as she looked across the ring, that was when it hit her.

Looking at the turnbuckles not far ahead of her, Tammy started to move ahead. But she kept her balance, and with her phenomenal ability in weightlifting, she actually managed to break into a brief run despite Kiku on her back. Then, as she neared the turnbuckle, Tammy turned herself around at the last moment, nearly losing her balance as she did, before she threw herself at the turnbuckle, now having Kikuâ€s back facing it instead, as the girl would be slammed against the metal corner, along with Tammyâ€s back throwing at full force against the girl, smashing her between the girl and the turnbuckle.

Kiku held tightly to Tammyâ€s neck, as her sleeperhold was now one of the only two things that were keeping Tammy from counterattacking. The other element, her own legs, moved every now and then so she wouldnâ€t slip or fall down by accident. Although she had managed to keep her submission on, this definitely wasnâ€t a position the sumo would choose getting into. Still, if she untangled her legs again, she risked being thrown by her opponent, so the best choice for her was to keep on like that until Tammy was too tired to fight back, then go down to her feet again. Kiku heard the appeals of the crowd; taking it as encouragement, she kept perched on Tammyâ€s back as the girl started to stagger.

That was not aimless, random stagger; concentrated on wearing Tammy down, Kiku didnâ€t notice something was amiss until Tammy actually started running, making it much more difficult for her to keep her grip. Even if she knew what Tammy was up to, there wasnâ€t much she could do to stop her dash. Their two bodies turned around together, and Kikuâ€s back was driven against the unforgiving turnbuckle. The scarce padding that covered the metal was of virtually no help, and to make things worse she also had Tammyâ€s whole weight now pressing against her. “Nghhh…” The rough hit had forced Kiku to let go of Tammyâ€s head, and her feet now touched the mat weakly. Unless Tammy moved away, her body would stay propped up like that for some time, her chest heaving with difficulty.

Tammy barely had the ability to think strait. With the shortage of air in her, and the burning pain in her chest and gut, the girl found it incredibly difficult to really form the strength to find any offensive or counter. But, despite Kikuâ€s weight on her back, Tammy ran with all her remaining willpower towards the turnbuckle, and successfully spun around before slamming Kiku against the turnbuckle with tremendous force and success.

A wave of relief hit Tammy as she felt the girl leg go, and was practically limp with her back against the turnbuckle, and the kawaii found herself coughing for breath, slumped with her back right against Kiku, pressing into her breasts firmly, as Tammy needed a moment to recover. It still kept Kiku pinned there when Tammy laid against there, and she took that moment to catch her breath, but even she knew that if she didnâ€t fight through the pain and begin inflicting some punishment on Kiku, then her efforts wouldnâ€t have made much of a difference. So, with no intention of keeping her back to Kiku, Tammy staggered forward a little, a hand clutching her through briefly, before she turned to Kiku who was against the turnbuckle.

Honorable as this match may have been, Tammy was frustrated and more than a little angry at this point. So, without hesitation, she reached out to grab a fistful of Kikuâ€s brown hair, right at the top of her head as she pulled tight at the roots. Then, without any warning, she would yank the girlâ€s head towards her, before slamming the back of her skull hard against the third turnbuckle, planning to really put the hurt on Kiku. Once she did, before the girl could even scream out, Tammy pulled her back away from the turnbuckle, still holding a clump of her hair, before throwing her face down into the mat, planning to smash that pretty little face of hers hard into the ground. All of this was not only meant to daze Kiku, but was also her set up for what was to come next…

Kiku whipered with the sharp pain on her back. She weakly tried to move away from the turnbuckle pricking her back uncomfortably, but soon found he couldnâ€t move Tammy away from her. Sandwiched in that tight place, she panted, with her breasts pushing against Tammyâ€s back as she did so. One hand tried to reach the sore spot on her back, which stung like hell. Kiku didnâ€t like that one bit; she decided that, when she recovered, she was going to show Tammy an even stronger move.

Perhaps it would have been more accurate to say if she recovered, because Tammy seemed to be contrary to that idea. Before Kiku had shaken off the impact properly, Tammy moved away. Kiku yelped when her hair was pulled up, and she barely had any time to open her eyes in surprise before what came next. Her head was roughly yanked, and a searing pain shot through the back of her head. The sudden impact drove her into momentary shock, so that she wasnâ€t even able to scream before having her face forced onto the mat. Her head hit the ground fast, making a bruise on her forehead, but she almost didnâ€t feel it; much stronger and numbing was what she felt at the back of her head.

Then, down at the mat, Kiku let out a scream. She clutched her head, and tears welled up in her eyes. The hit had been too strong; she couldnâ€t think properly through all the pain. Seeing the suffering Kiku was now in, some members of the crowd responded with boos, thinking Tammy was getting too brutal for a kawaii match.

Tammy wasnâ€t going to lose. She had a mission in the ring, she wanted to prove that she wasnâ€t a joke, and that she belonged her. No, that she would own this ring. Maybe it was just the fact that she had been pushed around too much in her last few matches and nearly losing this match from the headlock was the final straw, or maybe she had just been unstable to begin with and this was a breaking point for her, but either way, Tammy wasnâ€t going to stop. She heard the crowd booing at her, she remembered how this match started out as a respectful fight between one another, but did she care?

Hell no. She was going to win at any cost, and with how rattled she felt right now, she knew she had to keep this girl from mounting any more of an offense if she wanted to win, even if that meant beating the living crap out of Kiku until she begged. Tammy may not have been a Heel, but she certainly wasnâ€t any Face either, and at times, the way she fought was just a little too much, and right now, that was the case, and poor little Kiku was going to face that first hand.

“Sorry,” Tammy began to say, gritting her teeth a little and even now still panting for breath from the headlock. “But I have to win this.” She looked down at Kiku with her golden eyes in a cold stare, the kawaii acting more like a brutal heel right now, as she reached down towards Kikuâ€s waist to prepare her attack. She would go around at her waist from the legs, plucking the small girl up with ease, again displaying her powerful ability in lifting. And pretty soon, she had Kiku upside down, her legs up in the air and resting over Tammyâ€s shoulders, with her head pointed forward and to the mat. Tammy had her lined up for a powerbomb, and that was just what she intended to do. But for some reason, a strange, dark smirk crossed the girlâ€s lips, her black hair shadowing the top half of her head, almost giving those golden eyes an eerie glow. And then, while she held Kiku in preparation for the powerbomb, she would turn to face the turnbuckle. As much as she was in pain and tired, Tammy still had it in her to attempt her finisher, calling it out to the girl. At first, she whispered, her tone almost.. chilling as it went down to Kiku. “Welcome to my world…” And then, she would shout out her finisher, as she would powerbomb the back of Kikuâ€s skull right into the middle turnbuckle. “My Mad World!”

Slamming the girl with all her might, she would thrust her down into the metal turnbuckle with reckless abandon. But even as she hit it, Tammy didnâ€t let it go, as that was only half her finisher. Once again putting Kiku through two vicious strikes, she would turn around m and then powerbomb Kiku down to the mat, but as Tammy went down with her, she thrust her knee out, forcing Kikuâ€s upper back to land on Tammyâ€s knee rather than the mat, before she released the girl, allowing her to fall to the mat after the agonizing finisher.

Kiku panted and gasped the same time, the lingering pain in her head forcing the tears to roll down her face. She could feel her energy flowing out of her together with the warm drops; the last move had been too much for her small body to take. She wasnâ€t in condition of fighting at the pace she had before, and she would need some rest before she could even get up again.

Near her, Tammyâ€s figure cast a shadow over her body. With her eyes blurred by the tears, Kiku couldnâ€t see well what she was doing; all she got was a sinister gleam coming from her eyes. Without being given a break, she was soon grabbed again. Unable to resist against Tammy in her drained state, Kiku was put again in an upside-down position, with the top of her head hanging inches away from the mat. “Am I going to lose here? No… I must…”

Then, Tammy turned around, and Kiku saw the upside-down turnbuckle right before her eyes. The words “Welcome to my world…” reached her, and she gulped at its frightening tone. She knew she was in a dangerous situation, but her fate was no longer hers. It would all depend on Tammy and her mercy. “Wait… wa-wait…” She whimpered, but her voice was unfortunately too low for anyone to hear.

“My Mad World!”

Kikuâ€s body was quickly lifted up, lingering upright for a dreadful second before being forced down. The metal turnbuckle met with the back of her head violently; the poor girl screamed, and her mind went completely blank for a moment. Now her almost limp body was swung around and fell again, this time powerbombing her back against Tammyâ€s knee with shattering strength. She tried to scream again, but only a deaf whimper came out, as all the air had already been driven out of her lungs. When at last she was released, she fell to the mat and curled her body, trembling from the soaring pain all over her body. Somehow, Kiku had gone through Tammyâ€s finisher without being KOâ€ed, but she could barely move a muscle; she lay on the mat, wounded and exhausted.
