Akashi Tanikaze Vs. Haruna Saitou

Akashi's eyes crossed as the loud *clank!* rang in her ears. It was a sound she had heard plenty of times. She knew it well. Just like she knew the feeling of getting clubbed in the head with something hard and metal. She would never get used to that though. No matter how many pipes, brass knuckles, chairs or, apparently, metal bells she got hit with.

Akashi didn't even grunt. Her body stiffened and then relaxed and she flopped to her knees and then fell towards the ropes, the middle rope doing little to stop her as her nigh two hundred pounds flopped out of the ring, crashing near Kelly. The crowd instantly rained down boos upon the devious vixen and the ref now had a count out to worry about since she had not seen the foreign object used to cave in the Sumo's skull.

Watching the massive woman fall off the canvas and crash down below, Haruna looked over the ropes, casually tossing the heavy bell of to the side with an audible 'clang'. Smirking arrogantly upon the fallen Akashi while the ref counted, she scoffed "A fitting punishment for an oafish cow like you, wasting my time like that!"

Kelly was a bit dazed from the hit she took to her gorgeous face but she survived and would see the purple haired girl instead charge in and give Akashi a sickening blow to the back of her head with a ringbell! Sending the massive sumo, crashing to the floor below.

Her limp floor flopping right in front of Kelly, who would draw her legs back sharply as the sumo hit the padded arena floor!

"Heh...Heh! HEH! YEAH! THAT'S WHAT YOU GET!"Kelly spat, as she crawled to Akashi and wedged her face eerily close to the sumo but did not touch her.

"You're dead. You're fucking dead, you fat bitch." She growled into Akashi's ear, letting the huffs of her breath coat the side of her face before she looked up and flashed Haruna a thumbs up.

"Great shot, kid."

Akashi barely moved as she felt Kelly's breath tickle her ear. She groaned in response while the referee paused her count only to warn Kelly not to touch Akashi. By the count of five, Akashi was beginning to stir and was up on all fours. Her head was throbbing something fierce.

She could hear the taunts of the two girls though. Over the pounding headache and the rebellious, booing crowd, she heard them. Both seemed to hate her quite a bit and she grinned. The referee was at seven by the time Akashi was up to one knee. She was pretty sure she could smell blood around her and she eyed Kelly.

"You're both so sorry. Fat jokes are the best you've got. Even your trash talk sucks!"

She turned her body and her hand flopped onto the canvas as the referee hit the nine count. The crowd roared, thinking that Akashi might be able to roll back into the ring and break the count.

"Having no honor is bad enough." Akashi scowled. "But if you lie with pigs, then that is another thing entirely..." Akashi's cold stare faltered as the referee's count hit ten. She had tried to stand up, but knew better than to make a fool of herself trying to get back into the ring. If she even made it back in, Haruna would relentlessly feast on her. Even if Akashi could fight her off, and she believed she could, the fact that Kelly was there and Haruna had no qualms about using dirty tactics, meant Akashi's battle was more than uphill, it was nigh impossible. As much as it hurt, getting out of the predicament alive was a much more prudent strategy, so as the bell rang, Akashi began to try and walk towards the entrance ramp backwards, facing Haruna and Kelly as the ref came in to raise Haruna's hand.

Caring little for the champion's praise, Haruna passively ignored it, however she was visibly surprised when Akashi actually stood back up. While she was stunned, it ended up mattering little, as the ref's count out complete calling for the end of the match.

"Hmph." she snubbed off Akashi's parting words, not even watching the sumo leave while the referee rose up her hand in victory. It was far less decisive than she would have preferred, but a win was a win, and surely this would start to spread her name. Finally it looked like her aims of moving to the top were moving forwards...

"Big talk for a loser! HAHAHA!" Kelly cried as she flipped off Akashi and backed away as the count reached Ten and Haruna was declared the winner, earning a hail of boos from the crowd before waving Akashi off.

"BLAH BLAH BLAH! Go nurse that wound, bitch!" Kelly mocked, letting Akashi talk her bullshit before, letting her slink away like the defeated punk she was before going into the ring to push aside Ref Girl and raise Haruna's hand herself while waving cheekly to Akashi with the other.

"Let me congratulate you on your win, Saitou. You certainty know how to capitalize! " Kelly exclaimed, smiling at Haruna.

"How would you like to roll with the big girls and join my stable, The Coaliton? Hm? It's a great offer, im sure you're aware..." She muttered with a wide grin as she extended her hand to Haruna, expecting her to certainty take it.

In literally any other scenario, Haruna would have spitefully turned down an offer like that, caring for little but her own glory. However, even through her pride she couldn't deny the huge chance this would give her. Kelly was no doubt oblivious to Haruna's true nature, and being in the champ's inner circle would no doubt allow her to collect all sorts of dirt on her and those around her.

Biting back a most vicious smile, Haruna put up a slightly more friendly facade as she reached out to accept Kelly's hand. "I think I'll take you up on that offer, Ms. Conway."
