Haruko Hitamura vs Pussy Willows (archived)

Normal match: Win by pin or submission

Haruko walked out onto the ramp for the first time. She had no music picked, so a generic entrance theme started playing as she walked out. Her tail curled tightly around her waist as the crowd cheered politely for her. She could feel her palms sweaty, and her body felt really tense as she slowly made her way down the ramp. Then she closed her eyes to take a deep breath and climbed up into the ring, moving towards one of the corners and finally gave the crowd a nervous wave to them.

(OOC~ Actually in an odd ruling, a KO doesn't end a "normal match" in the AFW. Nice wrestlers are expected to pin immediately after a KO, of course.)

When "Staying Alive" began pouring through the stadium speakers everyone knew exactly what to expect. Down the ramp strode the small but confident form of Pussy Willows. Unlike a lot of wrestlers she did not wave to the crowd on her way down preferring to nod slightly to a couple of fans as she passed.

As she neared the ring she sprung forward into a handstand front flip actually landing on the top of the ring curtain. With a quick grab at the rope she ensured that she didn't slip back off and stepped carefully under the top rope.

She smiled softly as she saw her opponent and walked to the center of the ring to offer a handshake absentmindedly musing about the possibility of the match being a 'catfight.'

Haruko began to calm her nerves at the smaller form entering the ring with her. Her tail slowly uncurled from her waist when she saw Willows offering a hand for her to shake. Her ears perked up and she nodded, walking over to shake her hand.

"Err.. I probably shouldn't ask this... but... you think maybe you could take it easy on me? It's kind of my first match... and... well... I don't really know what to do." She admitted nervously.

Pussy faltered for a second. "I... No, I really can't. Everyone would be able to tell. Besides, you need to learn how to do it yourself." she explained. The bell rang and Pussy gave a quick growl before crouching into a wrestling stance and presenting her hands towards the other cat for a test of strength.

Haruko's ears drooped for a second when she said that she couldn't, then nodded slowly.

"I... I understand." She replied, then jumped a little when she heard the bell ring. She calmed herself down, trying to push the crowd out of her head. She noticed Pussy offering her arms up to lock with her. She figured it was wise to go along with it and moved towards her, starting to lock her fingers with her, then would start trying to push against her.

Haruko had the height advantage in this situation, but Pussy had trained her muscles more and knew how to press on leg back to optimize her pushing ability. Pussy seemed to be making significant progress against her inexperienced opponent and thought it would be best to start slowly for her Haruko's sake, settling for shoving her slowly back towards the turnbuckle behind her.

Haruko winced as the smaller girl started to overpower her, starting to get pushed back into the turnbuckle, surprised she couldn't overpower the smaller girl and was suddenly pinned up against the turnbuckle, unable to force her back.

"H-how the..."

Pussy pushed Haruko firmly into the corner before bringing her left knee up suddenly to sink a couple of hits into the girl's stomach.

If the knees strike true, Pussy will reach up to drag the other kitten's head down in a side headlock and start leading her back out into the center of the ring slowly.

"Nff! Oof!" She grunts as both knees nail into her gut. Her fingers were still trapped with Pussy's, and she didn't know what she could do to block. Haruko then gasped when Willows reached up to grab her head and was suddenly at the smaller girl's mercy for a moment, being caught in a side headlock and walking with Pussy to the middle of the ring, despite her attempts to pop herself out of the headlock.

Pussy's biceps flexed as she twisted the girl's neck a bit purposely giving the blond a couple of moments to act against her.

--
Pussy will bulldog Haruko into the mat if she doesn't react after a couple second. After the slam she'll relock the headlock and slip her left thigh under the girl to begin body scissoring her as well.
