Hanayama Momoko vs Caitlin Boyd

Momoko wondered just what Yatori was thinking when the latter suggested Innocent Starter as her entrance theme. Or was Yatori thinking at all? All she said was "Now you have the OP while I have the ED." What does that mean?

Still, she entered the ring purposefully, despite the distractingly cute music playing in the background. Once she had disrobed and performed her preparatory ceremony, she waited quietly for her opponent. She had heard of the incident in the shower room. Remembering a rather similar scene she'd witnessed in that same place, she blushed.

Caitlin-san must have had a hard time... I'll give her a good match, then, to take her mind off her problem...

Caitln practically stormed her way down the ring, not really wanting to be here much anymore, but considering she still had a contract here, she still had to participate in matches. She was not happy about it either, especially with what happened to her a while back, which she hadn't gotten over.

She made her way down the ramp, completely ignoring the crowd and foregoing her flashy entrance to slide under the bottom rope and stand up, glaring at her opponent.

Momoko hid her dismay over her opponent's hostility. She is angrier than I thought... still, I must show my good intentions.

She walked over to Caitlin and bowed deeply. "Good evening," she greeted in her politest tone as she straightened. "I am Hanayama Momoko. I am honored to have you as my opponent tonight. I hope to have a good match with you, Boyd-san."

Momoko then proffered her hand to Caitlin in the Western manner of greeting, to show how concerned and honest she was.

Caitlin stared at her for a moment as she bowed to her. She blinked oddly at her name.

"Hana... Hanayana... Mokomo?" She replied, trying to get her name. She was a little confused as to why the girl was being so respectful to her.

"Um... why are you honored? I haven't done anything special." She asked, sounding puzzled as she scratched the back of her head.

"And my name's not Boydsahn. It's Caitlin." She added. Albeit a little weird, this girl didn't look like she wanted to seduce her. It could be a trick, but... there was something about her that she felt she could trust. She slowly reached her hand out to shake hands with Momoko.

"Call me Momo if it is easier on you," she suggested over Caitlin's trouble pronouncing her name. Then she added "Caitlin," as she shook the American girl's hand, managing to keep the polite Japanese suffix out for now.

"I am always glad to wrestle with skilled opponents like you. I have seen some of your matches in the ring. You are very impressive. I have yet to wrestle a high flying wrestler like you, so I am looking forward to the experience." She smiled. "Let us do our best, shall we?"

"Momo? All right." She nodded, and then let go of her hand. She started to smile a little as she complimented her.

"Oh... well... thanks. Yeah, I'll give it my all." She nodded, suddenly now wanting to do this fight as she started to smile once more.

Momoko was glad to renew Caitlin's spirits. "Okay, then," she bid as she released her opponent's hand. After bowing briefly, she walked back to her corner of the ring to wait for the bell.

Suddenly the bell rang, and Caitlin moved in towards Momoko, watching her carefully.

Momoko moved towards the watchful Caitlin with the intent to lock up on their feet for a pushing match.

Caitlin saw her wanting to lock up, and agreed, moving in towards her to try and lock arms with her and force her back.
