Who Is Training Who

FRICTION GYM, 2 PM

Alaina was happy to be training with someone again. She had a rough week. She was part of a tearful breakup, and a friendly rival of hers whom she could never beat went to Tension and handed her old friend Charlie such a loss that he had some depressive realization that wrestling was no longer for him.

Alaina hadn't talked to Valley about that yet but hoped to soon. Her mind was everywhere else, unable to focus on her own career. She had some big wins and tough losses lately. She was in a flux, not on the rise she worked tirelessly to be on.

Glad in her o e piece leopard print swimsuit, boots and kneepads Alaina pounced away at a punching bag as she waited for the arrival of Nanami. She wasn't sure what Nanami would chose for their training today, and she didn't care. She had to get back on track no matter what.

The distracted, frustrated Alaina kept pounding away at the bag. Fists, forearms, elbows, knees and feet hammering it relentlessly. Nanami couldn't arrive soon enough, and the young woman would indeed be a sight for sore eyes.

Nanami arrived at the gym and changed into her black leotard. She was thinking about what kind of training Alaina and her would have today. After putting on her outfit, she took some time washing her face for a bit before putting on her hachimaki. She felt bad for making Alaina wait, but she would just apologize to her when she arrived.

Heading to where Alaina was, she saw the Amazon already starting her training, pummeling the poor sandbag with all her might. Deciding to not distract her, Nanami would watch her silently as she waited at the ringside.

For some reason, something seemed different about Alaina, and it worried Nanami a little.

Alaina kept wailing away, unaware her pent up frustrations could be seen in her face. She kept her strikes going until a hard swing made her twist her torso slightly more than usual and she saw Nanami.

Alaina can to a surprised halt. "Oh! Nanami I didn't see you there! I am sorry for getting tunnel vision and didn't mean to keep you waiting. How have you been?" Alaina asked as she approached Nanami, reaching out to give the young woman a hug, add g a good squeeze to it.

After a moment of letting Nanami answer, Alaina smiled and titled her head slightly to the side, standing with her hands on her hips. "What did ya want to do today?"

Nanami smiled when Alaina finally noticed her, and when the Amazon went to hug her, she was startled a bit before she hugged her back. She let out a squeak when Alaina gave her body a squeeze. "Um... I-I'm fine. H-how about you, Alaina-san?" Nanami asked.

When Alaina finally let go of her, she looked at the Amazon, thinking about what to say. She was thinking if Alaina would be willing to train her with a spar. "About that, if you don't mind, would you like to have a spar with me?" Nanami asked. The last time they fought was back then during her debut, where she lost. She wanted to see how much she had progressed since then.

Nanami's question was so some, but given Alaina's circumstances it was far more complex than it should have been. "Oh I am fine." Alaina said plainly, and a bit of a lie. Maybe not an out right lie, but it was a misdirection to deflect attention away from the roller coaster her personal and professional life had been.

"A spar sounds good! Any special stipulations you want to add before I slam ya silly?" Alai a said woth a sly grin, winking at Nanami as she made her way over towards the ring.

Nanami blinked her eyes. Somehow, she felt that there was something that Alaina didn't tell her, but she didn't want to pry as she didn't really want to bother Alaina by probing into her private matters.

Nanami thought about it for a while when Alaina asked her about the stipulations, but soon she shook her head. "Just a normal, standard match, I guess. If you don't mind, of course," she said as she followed Alaina towards the ring. She had been hospitalized for a while after her match with Jessica, and now she wanted to make sure that she got back into shape by sparring with Alaina.

Alaina smiled and nodded to Nanami. "Sure thing! That sounds good to me. Lets get this show on the road!" Alaina said as she began to circle Nanami, waiting for Nanami to show that she herself was ready to begin. Alaina had her hands up, eyeing Nanami as she moved closer. The amazon lunged in, trying to grab hold of Nanami and catch her in a collar and elbow lock up to start things off! Alaina didn't want to try to force Nanami back however. Instead she would try to stonewall Nanami in place and try to use footwork as well as positioning to try to grab hold of one of Nanami's arms and hip toss the woman to the mat!

Mirroring Alaina, Nanami would focus on the Amazon's movement before she lunged in, locking up with her with a collar and elbow lock up. "Rnnghh!" She groaned as she tried to push Alaina back, but it seemed that the Amazon was stonewalling her.

When she saw Alaina using footwork in order to reposition herself, Nanami would also try to shift her footing, resisting her attempt to toss her to the mat. She would try to fight back in the lock up, trying to shift her position by using footwork as well, hoping to toss Alaina onto the mat instead!

Alaina was confident she had Nanami right where she wanted her, but as Nanami suddenlynand forcefully adjusted it was the amazon flying up into the air and landing hard on the mat!

Oomph! Ngh...." Alaina groaned, arching her back and lazily kicking the mat in the aftermath of the hip toss. Nanami was strong so any slam or toss from her hurt more than it did coming from most women. That coupled with the surprise of the counter left the amazon laying on the mat on pain!

To be fair, even Nanami was surprised that she actually managed to toss Alaina down into the mat. Still, she saw an opportunity after bringing the Amazon low, so after seeing Alaina on the canvas, Nanami would bend down in order to pick her up, grabbing her by her head and armpit, pulling her up to her feet.

After bringing her up, Nanami would hold Alaina by her shoulder, with her hand close to the base of her neck to keep her in place. And then, with a mighty, hot-blooded cry, Nanami would try to hammer Alaina's chest with a forearm strike, hoping to stun her so that she could scoop up her body, planning to slam her down into the canvas again with a body slam!
