Mimi Yoshihara Vs. Spider Kikuchi

Standard Match

Rules Standard
Victory Condition: Pinfall, Submission or K.O



It was time again, for Mimi Yoshihara the magic grappler herself to make her return to the ring. She had been on a hiatus for a while because of personal reasons, but she was finally back in the ring and ready for action. She had been looking forward to her chance to return to AFW and be able to make a name for herself in the brand. While she still had that win over Panther Risako since she had first joined AFW, she didn't have many accolades to her. Though that was about to change, right now she was apparently supposed to face off against a woman who called herself Spider Kikuchi. Mimi actually wondered if her real name was Spider, or if that was just something like with the case of her long time rival Panther Risako. She thought the latter was the more plausible one, but one never knew. She'd settle for calling her Kikuchi.

Kikuchi...wasn't there someone in Wrestle Angels named Kikuchi? Mimi could have sworn there was. Though she didn't really want to think about that for now, she'd cross that bridge if it had something to do with the match tonight. For now she would settle on being focused on winning tonights match! Already dressed in her green wrestling attire, the Magic Grappler stepped out onto the ramp as her music started to play out over the speakers.

The crowd seemed happy to see her again, the tough short gal having always had a certain favor with the crowd. They had always liked her to an extent, especially during her clashes with Panther Risako. Most likely because she had been the underdog in those situations. Though she didn't mind that, tonight though it was probably because she was a face and from what she had heard, this Spider Kikuchi leaned towards the other side.

Mimi made her way down towards the ring, getting into it and waving towards the crowd before she would turn and start to walk over towards her corner, looking to settle into it and simply wait for her opponent now. She took a deep breath and focused her mind, looking right up at the ramp, waiting to see just how this Spider Kikuchi was.

Fucking finally.

Spider Kikuchi had been trying for months - months - to get a match with a Wrestle Angel, to absolutely no avail. Management was notoriously unhelpful when it came to getting her what she wanted, preferring to put her in dark matches and away from more profitable prospects. More than likely, they were afraid that she’d harm one of their innocent little fawns, maybe break a bone or two...and they were right. She absolutely would do that, given the first opportunity. That she just so happened to be up against a wrestler who’d been away from the ring for a while was icing on the cake - not only could she win, but she could put a rusty angel back on the shelf in the process. Perfection.

She didn’t leave Mimi waiting by herself in the ring for long. A few mere seconds passed before  the lights dropped and her music started up, heralding her appearance. Purple strobe lights lit the way down the ramp as Spider came walking down making her vanish and reappear in the gloom. One moment she was there, then she was there, then she was there - getting closer and closer each time, nearing the ring, slithering her way through the darkness.

The lights came on and found her standing in the ring, only a couple of feet away from her opponent, looking down on her future meal while she spun the tie around her finger.

Spider Kikuchi canted her head to the left, rolled it to the right, then licked her lips to taste the air. ”Hello, there.” She spoke with all the warmth and kindness of her namesake.

Mimi remained confident as the theme of Spider Kikuchi started to play over the speakers and her entrance had her almost seem as if she was disappearing and reappearing with each flash of light, as she got closer and closer towards the ring. Then, all of a sudden she was inside of the ring.

The Magic Grappler looked up at Spider Kikuchi who was spinning her tie around her finger. The green clad woman may have been the shorter wrestler in the ring, which was usually the case for the Magic Grappler, but that didn't discourage her one bit. She watched as the busty woman licked her lips and would speak out.

" Hello." Mimi said in a rather serious tone as she eyed the woman. Just standing here with her, Mimi could feel what kind of opponent Kikuchi would be. Not one she'd get along with. Mimi would roll her shoulders and take a step back as she would raise her arms, waiting for the bell to ring. This was her re-debut here in AFW, that meant that she wanted to do the best that she could. Besides, she had made a promise to Panther Risako to not get defeated until they fought again.

Hmph. Just ‘hello’. No little speech, no proclamation for love and justice, not even a clever quip. ‘Hello’. ”Oh my, you’re a loquacious little twerp, aren’t you?”

Spider barely knew Mimi, but she was already forming an opinion of her opponent. She was one of those wrestlers - the kind that came into a match with something to prove. Too serious. Too focused for her own good.

Those types were the hardest nuts to crack, but in Spider’s experience? The most satisfying.

When the bell rang, Spider didn’t mirror Mimi’s stance, didn't drop down into her ready position. Instead, she decided to take this one slow, feel out her opponent a bit. With a casual gait, she started to walk around the ring, keeping a fair distance from her foe. Practically daring her to rush in. Like a fly, buzzing around the web…

Mimi would narrow her eyes as she was insulted by the taller woman, she couldn't help but feel as if the Spider was going to get on her nerves throughout this match. The Magic Grappler wasn't about to let that get out of hand though, she could already tell that her and Spider Kikuchi wasn't going to get along here....and Mimi was seasoned, she knew how to keep her emotions leveled, at least as long as it didn't come to Blade Uehara or Panther Risako.

The green clad grappled dropped into her stance but as she saw Kikuchi simply start to walk around the ring, circling around. Mimi would move up from her stance and glare at Kikuchi. She'd proceed to start to move in the opposite direction and attempt to circle Spider Kikuchi as well.

They'd go around for a few seconds before Mimi would take her chance. Trying to fake a low lung at the Spider, and quickly pull back after. Attempting to test the reflexes and reaction of the buxom woman.

Spider couldn’t help but giggle as they circled each, covering her mouth as she chittered. Mimi was so stern and serious, far more than you would’ve expected from someone so cute. She would be a tough nut to crack, there was little doubt there, but Spider was confident that she would crack, eventually. It would just take a touch more effort than normal.

The crowd was starting to grow restless from the inaction, but that changed when Mimi darted in, quickly closing the distance. Spider was dropped into her stance within a heartbeat, prepared to take her and counter - only to find herself coming up empty.

”Oh, tricky little thing.” Spider stayed in her stance and smacked her lips, as she picked up the pace of her circling. She would dash to the side, rapidly pick up speed at random, seeing just how well Mimi could cope, testing and teasing at the same time. After a few moments, though, she raised her arms and started to close in, daring Mimi to meet her head on and take her chances. ”Tricky, tricky, tricky…”

Mimi watched Spider Kikuchi's reaction to her little test, it seemed as if this woman had some nice reflexes, and then even opted to test the same thing. As Mimi was forced to keep pace with Kikuchi's dashing and random rapid uptakes in speed. Which the green clad wrestler did quite aptly if she dared say so herself. 

She watched closely as the two of them tested the waters without even getting into physical contact with each other. "Hmm...." Mimi let out, a slight hum of annoyance as she was called little. She had always hated that, but she didn't let it get to her when she was in the middle of a match like this. 

She narrowed her eyes as Kikuchi raised her arms and started to step in closer. Mimi would narrow her eyes and step forward as well. She'd try and charge in after they were close enough to just be two or three steps away from each other. Trying to closer the distance and force the busty woman into a collar and elbow tie up!

Closer, closer, closer.

Spider edged her way forward, inching across the ring, wanting Mimi to be the one to take the initiative. She greatly preferred being the instigator in such situations, loving to get her foes to snare themselves in her web, let them get all tangled up. And she could tell right away, this little fly was out to make some serious buzz. She wanted to win, wanted to make a statement. Eager. Too eager by half.

There was never any doubt that she would take the bait, and sure enough, Mimi met expectations. In she came, so full of energy, charging into Spider with surprising power for one so small. Spider was driven back one step, then another, and it seemed like her slender body couldn’t stop the forward movement.

Nor did she want to. ”Mmm. Feisty.” She whispered in Mimi’s ear before she gave the Magic Grappler a lick along her neck, savoring the sweet taste of her skin. With a sudden rush of movement, she tried to duck under her foe’s arm and slip around behind her, transitioning into a quick hammerlock. Something simple to start.

Mimi stepped in and it seemed to go rather well! She started by pushing back the slightly taller woman, forcing her back one step, then two and then one more! Three in total before the busty white haired woman was able to stop her. Even be able to lick at Mimi's neck! Which caught the green clad wrestler off-guard and allowed the buxom white haired woman to grab onto the arm of the Magic Grappler and pull it in behind her back.

Trapping Mimi Yoshihara in a hammerlock. " Akh..." Mimi grunted out as she would move her free arm around, trying to reach around, she'd struggle with her footing, trying to twist and turn.

It looked as if this woman was going to be quite a fair bit of trouble, but a former Wrestle Angels champion was not going to go down easy! Mimi would try and find a way out of the hold, trying to twist and turn her way out of it so that she could try and turn things around and attempt to reverse their situation in an attempt to hammerlock Spider Kikuchi in return! " You're not the first to say that." 

”Almost, almost - no, sorry. Not quite. Come on…”

With the ‘Magic Grappler’ locked, Spider went to doing what she did best: twisting the knife, taunting and teasing her opponents. This one was tight-lipped, and in Spider’s experience, that was the telltale sign of a woman who was trying too hard. She’d put up a good facade, but if that wall was poked and prodded enough, it would topple. Like a house of cards.

She was well on her way to doing just that, when Mimi surprised her with a slick reversal, moving around behind in one, deft move. With a little quip added on the end, for extra effect.

”And I won’t be the last, squirt.” Spider licked her lips, then jerked her head back hard and fast, looking to smack Mimi in the nose with the back of her head. A little bit of a dirty way to get out, but it wasn’t as if she were getting extra points for style.
