Chasing after a rival(for Shadowofice)

Seeing Sera turn away blushing made Megumi realize just how little she had on. She blushed a little too, but did not go and cover up. She felt as if by saving her Sera had gained the right to see her like this. After all, she saved Megumi from potential death. Megumi walked up behind Sera, suddenly giving her a hug around the waist.

"Hmm? Suddenly so shy," Megumi said, "That's cute ^.^ I don't mind if you look Sera, you just saved me."

This entire situation left Seraphim absolutely stunned. A wave of emotions was coming over her like never before, and she had fallen unsure of what to do. There was happiness; glad to know she had been able to help Megumi and prevent a real catastrophe. Then there was sadness; an inner pain that brought back old memories, constantly telling Seraphim it was her fault this happened in the first place. Then there was a nervousness and uncertainty, being with someone she didn't know how to express herself towards, not sure if she could call Megumi a rival or a friend right now. And finally, there was a shyness that even made Seraphim feel slightly aroused, the site of Megumi's beautiful body, her voluptious curves, and then her warm body pressed against Seraphim's back as she hugged her, it was... calming.

As calming as it was though, her mixture of emotions couldn't fade away. And like any time Seraphim was uncertain, she was ready to resort to violent threats, having always dealt with confusing times with a fist or verbal abuse. So, it came as no surprise to her that she never really took in the embrace, and brought up a quick threat. But not just any, instead she brought up the past match between herself and Megumi, reminding the young wrestler of just what happened that day they fought. "..Let go, or I'll fuck you up and leave you begging for more like you did last time..."

As Megumi hugged Sera, she began to pick up signals through touching Sera. She felt Sera tense up beneath her touch. Was Sera nervous? Had she never been like this before? At that thought, Megumi felt a pang of sadness. It was obvious that Sera had not lived the life she had, a life of plenty and glamour and happiness. Megumi almost despised herself a little, for even thinking that she could in any way understand what Sera had been through.

"But if I don't try, who will?" Megumi then thought.

She then heard Sera's threat, almost laughing from it. She couldn't cover up a slight giggle. "That's the Sera I know," she said teasingly, "So tough. Even though we've met just once, and under not ideal conditions, you're still so impressive." She pressed in tighter.

"Remember what I said at the end of our previos match? I intend to back it up fully," Megumi said, "I'll be the one dominating, and you'll be the one submitting."

At first, Seraphim didn't seem to react, she had remained up tight and her body still tense and uncertain about this sort of contact. She had promised herself... she already had someone, and Seraphim didn't want to turn her back on that vow. Still, having Megumi hold her like this from behind, it really was a bit relaxing to her, and despite their differences, Seraphim was starting to enjoy Megumi's company; her optimism helped melt away Seraphim's depression just a little.

"Oh yea, like that'll ever happen." Seraphim said back with a bit of confidence coming back to her, like she was up for taking that challenge some day, and getting her once confused mindset focused on something else for a change. However, within just a few moments, she thought back on that match, and let Megumi's compliment a second ago sink in, putting her at an even greater ease where she sighed, like there was a small relief all of the sudden as she spoke. "Still... thanks. I'm.. glad you're okay. And I'm sorry for screwing up."

Megumi felt the tension in Sera's body begin to melt away, her body softening under Megumi's gentle grasp. She smiled to herself, thinking that indeed she had managed to help out Sera a bit. With her old confidence back and her old attitude returning, Megumi felt certain that Sera would be just as well as before.

She let go of the hug, gently pushing Sera to get her to turn around. She wanted Sera to look at her.

"It's ok, don't be sorry," Megumi said, "What happened here isn't your fault, it's mine for even getting into this mess. I should be sorry, I mean, you got cut up trying to save me. I didn't do anything to deserve that."

She then moved up close, the happy look on her face suddenly disappearing. Now she had a very serious look, her eyes hard and her body tense. "This doesn't make us even though," Megumi said, "After what you did to me... no we're not even."

Seraphim didn't need to be reminded about what happened before. But even further, she didn't want Megumi to say how much she didn't deserve the cuts she recieved at that match. If anything, Seraphim wanted them, she was trying to push herself, attempting to break her barrier of adrenaline to accomplish a new level of fighting in that match. But since that never got to that point, it instead looked like Seraphim was just incapable, and got herself cut up from amatuerism.

When Megumi released her though, Seraphim looked at the girl with a serious gaze as well, trying not to let her eyes wander as she looked right into her eyes, breathing a short sigh and tensing up again, but this time, not from the awkwardness. No, instead it was from anticipation; the desire to fight Megumi again, that time would come and Seraphim could hardly wait. Still... she felt guilty, even know, she felt horrible for what Megumi went through when Seraphim lost control, no one deserved that...

"I know... and I'm sorry. I won't lose my grip this time though.. I've been seeing a doctor, taking medicines.. so you.. you won't have to see that side of me again. Hopefully no one will." Seraphim wasn't entirely sure if that was the thing that got Megumi so upset or not, but Seraphim felt the need to bring it up. Even if it was a sensitive subject, it was still the reason she felt such guilt; having nearly killed Megumi in the ring that day, and wanting her to know it wouldn't happen again. Megumi should never have experianced what happened that day... only Rachel should have.

Megumi sighed and shook her head, remembering how Sera had seemingly gone delusional and insane during the match. "Now that was my fault," Megumi said, "Tell you the truth, I actually got a copy of your history from my manager. I had a general idea of what happened to you in the past, and I decided to bring it up and use it against you." She gave a small chuckle. "It kinda backfired didn't it? I shouldn't have done that. Nobody should have to be haunted by their pasts."

Megumi walked up to Sera, getting close enough that their faces and bodies were nearly touching. "But I want a rematch," Megumi said, "When I lost to you, I lost my honor and pride as well. I want that back."

((Congrats on a thousand posts. x3 ))

So that was why... It made sense, everyone was freely entitled to read about their upcoming opponent, Seraphim just always chose not to. But even though back then she would have hated Megumi for using it against her, it was changed now, she actually was.. kind of glad Megumi did that. It helped her realized her issues early... before anything dangerous or even deadly happened later and it would be too late then. "Don't worry about it.." Seraphim said slowly, looking away for a moment, only to realize when she looked back that Megumi was right in front of her when she looked back, causing Seraphim to blink a few times.

Having someone who was half naked standing this close, nearly touching like this was always a bit awkward, that was for sure.

"Heh... wait in line then." Seraphim said back, almost like she was taunting Megumi. It was kind of fun really, because by now, Seraphim thought of Megumi as... maybe something other than just a rival, but a friend even, so being able to talk to her like this, it didn't feel like a threat or anything, but just a challenge they both respected.

"You still have plenty though, you just don't realize it. You'll lose again and I'll take what remaining honor and pride you have. Are you sure you want to risk that?" In Seraphim's own twisted way, she was trying to tell Megumi that she had more than she thinks, and was still a powerful and proud fighter.. even if Seraphim did make it sound more like a threat.

((O_O, I've never gotten to 1k on any forum before, gosh I'mdedicated to this place ^>^))

"Oh? Well, I guess if you're busy," Megumi said, "We can wait..." Megumi seriously wanted to fight Sera now, she wanted to shoe Sera how she was not easy to defeat. She needed to not just prove to Sera that she was strong and a worthy opponent, but needed to prove it to herself as well. She had her confidence, but losing to Sera made her lose a big chunk of her belief in her ability. It was her first loss in this league.

"There's really not much more you can take from me," Megumi said softly, "But yes, I'll put everything on the line here." She paused and took a big breath, raising one finger. "One night. If you win, you can do whatever you want with me for one night."

Good, if she could wait, Seraphim was going to uphold that promise. She had a match coming up with some girl named Minerva, but after that, her schedule was clean. She would take her fight against Megumi, and prove to her how futile it was to go against her. Seraphim was going to win without a doubt, she had a goal and promised herself she was never going to lose, but there was something more exciting than just that about facing off against Megumi, like this time, it would be a true match between the two, and Seraphim would truly be herself for every second.

Then Megumi threw an offer down on the table she never thought she would ever hear from her. One night... anything she wanted if she won? What.. what kind of insentive was that?? Seraphim started to blush just a little at that thought, and wasn't sure what to make of it at first, but for a brief moment, images in her mind of how their last match ended flashed in Seraphim's head. Her lips against Megumi's, the gentle carressing of her warm breasts, placing her fingers between the lips of her precious womanhood, the whole thing got Seraphim heated just at the thought, and she decided to seal the deal
...with a kiss.

Seraphim suddenly leaned foward, gently kissing Megumi softly on the lips, being brief about it, but certainly showing a passionate side at how delicately she had done this, parting her lips only seconds after, like she was teasing Megumi. "Fine then, you have the same oppurtunity with me if you win." She said softly, her words in a whisper as she let those words provokatively settle in her rival's mind.
