Bad? Good? There's Only Luck (Jinx)

Lucky was ALL about training today! Having spent the last couple days SOLEY dedicated to her manga, what getting the details all nice and... detailed, she really needed the exercise! While she would've wanted NOTHING more than to spend another week locked inside her make-shift studio-room finishing up the last couple bits of the chapter, she couldn't very well ignore her own well-being could she?

Healthy body, healthy mind and all that mom-level cheese!

Lucky, while frequenting almost all the different gear-sets (yes, even the bar-bells and dumbbells), most favored the treadmill! She so loved to walk and run and stuff.. In fact, on days she didn't feel like going to the gym, she spent those days just running around the block a bit! She even had an adorable little track-jumpsuit too for when things got chilly! HERE, Sakura wore a nice tight black sports-bra and shorts, finished off with some cutesy white-pink running sneakers! She looked REAL cute if she did say so herself, Lucky having spent longer than she probably should have in the mirror JUST to make sure everything to was right...

Back to the work out, Lucky had worked up a nice and good sweat on the mill, turning up the speed every so often from a walk... to a jog... to a hard jog! For a good long while she ran, her eyes shut, imagining the streets of japan on a nice, crisp morning... stars still out, lighting up her dawn... In fact, she was so far deep into this simulated OUT DOOR running, Lucky hadn't realized how tired and slow she had become... until she was nearly thrown from the treadmill!

"EEP!" She squeaked out in surprise, stumbling back onto the hard, immobile floor of the Gym, giggling lightly at her own ditzy forgetfulness! OH well... It was time for a break she supposed! Shutting off her machine, Lucky walked over to the bench upon which her fluffy Hello-Kitty duffel-bag resided, the cheerleader pulling out a BIG pink bottle of what to swig from!

"Boy!" She snickered between sips, snagging her towel from her bag as well and draping it across her shoulders! "I got outta shape, huh?"

Today was all about revenge. It had been days since she had staked out this particular gym. Tracking Lucky's membership to this particular gym had been child's play. One of many surrounding the Friction arena that had membership discounts for people signed with AFW, true, but she had ways of narrowing down the search.

Sakura was well liked backstage by most and prying details about where she lived and what people knew about her out of the ring activities around town. She only had to twist a few arms… and apply a few choke holds and people were very willing to help her out. She was sure to let them know not to ruin the surprise though, she couldn't have Lucky preparing for this.

Though after several days of the girl not showing, she had some serious doubts this was the place… or worse, someone had ratted her out. Dirty snitches. She had even come prepared, fully incognito. It was strange not having the weight of her braid trailing down her back, nor the small cat like ears she styled on top of her head. She felt slightly more aerodynamic, if such a thing were possible.

Jinx:

Gone was her usual black motif, traded in for a loose fit white tank top, some red track shorts with a white stripe down the side and some red and black sneakers. She had gone unnoticed since she had joined the gym, by name anyhow. Plenty of people had come up to chat with her as she loitered about, tried to give her workout tips and stuff… she knew how to work out, yeesh.

She was just taking it light to pretend to be doing stuff while keeping an eye out for Lucky. Her master plan was to challenge the girl to an impromptu match after her mortal enemy had already worn themselves out with a rigorous workout, leaving her tired and weak so Jinx could be fresh as a daisy and steal back her win. No sweat. Bonus points if she could get her on a crowded day.

She had just been about to call it off for the afternoon when a hint of something familiar caught her eye in passing. There she was! After all this time she finally had the NERVE to show herself! Jinx snickered softly as she slipped back behind a leg press machine, peering out over the top of the stacked weights.

"Hmph. Who does she think she is, keeping me waiting?" She murmured to herself, unaware she was purring softly just watching the other girl moving across the room to set her things down on a bench. Lucky had hardly settled in before going off to a treadmill with a spring in her step. It figures she would use that of all things when there was a perfectly good indoor track that ran along the edge of the gym floor and, well, any sidewalk in Japan. Lazy.

Jinx made her way closer… dipping between several different machines along the way, playing the role of a super secret agent. It didn't seem to matter though as the other girl's attention was drawn elsewhere. Still, she was very very cautious as she crept closer and closer… finally she had reached the bench Lucky had left her things at. The dark haired girl glanced around before kneeling, pretending to toe her shoes for a moment just to make sure no one was watching. Once she was sure, she carefully unzipped the other girls bag, rooting through her things until she found her cell phone.

She didn't really need Lucky's number, but she wanted it… for reasons. It wasn't like she would ever ask the girl and give her the satisfaction of knowing Jinx wanted it. This was easier and far more mysterious. With a few quick swipes she pulled up the info tab and slipped out her own phone to copy the number down. Just to be sure to not raise suspicions she filed it under the name "Florist" just in case her own phone was ever stolen. The perfect crime.

Sliding the phone back into the bag, she snickered at the small cartoon cat now that she noticed it. "Hello, Kitty." She mumbled softly, cracking a fanged smirk. Now that she had what she wanted, all she had to do next was to wait for Lucky to finish up before issuing a challenge. Once she had her win back she could gloat to her heart's content and even text the girl about her victory. Nyahahaha!

Jinx jumped, hair standing on end at the sudden surprised squeak of Lucky at the treadmill. Had she seen her?! Her Amber eyes snapped back to the girl, tucking away her own phone. The bumbling cheerleader was floundering even with jogging! How had Jinx lost to this clutz again? Her nose wrinkled a bit in annoyance before her mind reminded her of being laid down on the mat beside her, gentle hands caressing her and… she had purred softly in her own daydream.

Oh god, Lucky was finishing up! Jinx dropped to all fours, scampering out of sight from bench to bench, peeking up from time to time to keep track of Lucky. The girl hadn't noticed her, she was sure of it. With a triumphant giggle she pushed herself to her feet, striding away at a brisk pace. She could jump the other girl at the door and trick her into a match, then she would have her sweet reven-

"Oof!" Jinx, despite judging Lucky for not using the jogging track along the outside of the gym, had seemingly forgotten its existence and walked right in the patch of someone else who wasn't paying nearly enough attention. The two bodies collided, sending Jinx into a spin that nearly toppled her. Snapping her head back she instinctively hissed at the man who seemed bewildered by what just happened. "Watch it you lummox!"

Lucky's ears perked up at a familiar voice... one she never really expected to hear in a place like this! It was harsh... but also beautiful, a voice that belong to someone Sakura had a match with a little while ago! Whatever thoughts the cheerleader was having up until this point INSTANTLY vanished, all her attention now on tracking down the source of that very familiar voice! Slowly, Lucky got to her feet, looking around in the direction from which it had come from... AND THERE SHE WAS! Lucky's eyes shot WIDE as she spotted a dark-skinned, yellow-eyed woman, a beautiful little cat who was growling and hissing at some poor fool who had stepped on her tail! A wide smile began to creep up on Lucky's face as memories of their time together flashed through her mind, a small blush flashing across her cheeks as little bitty butterflies fluttered about in her stomach! Her back was turned to her now, attention seemingly entirely focused on the man who had seemingly inconvenienced her... And that gave Sakura the PERFECT opportunity to give her a nice, cuddly surprise hello!

Sakura would RUSH at Jinx as she finished giving that guy the what-for, the cheerleader extending her arms to PULL the slightly-shorter girl into a nice and cuddly embrace, very nearly tackling Jinxie to the floor in her enthusiasm!

"Jiiiiiiiiinx! I MISSSED YOUUUUUU!" Lucky cried happily, placing small kisses ALL around her face, all the while hugging her like she might just disappear again if the separated! It was no idle comment either! She DID miss her... And if she had her way, they wouldn't go so long without seeing each other again! Lucky would end her snuggly attack with one last very soft kiss upon her rival's lips, one that would last as long as Jinx would want it....

"It's good to see you again!" She remarked with a snicker, unwinding her arms around Jinx, her hands now merely resting on her hips! "Are you here to train too?"

No sooner had Jinx tried to step away and continue on than she felt a hand on her shoulder. Her fingers flexed in reflex, ready to whirl back around and claw whoever was touching her across the face regardless if they were another gym goer or q member of staff come to give her a lecture. She was spun about suddenly though without needing to do it herself, face to face with Lucky. Jinx looked perplexed, unaware the scene she had caused had drawn so much attention.

Before she could so much as protest she was pulled into a tight embrace, being pepper by kisses. Her cheeks grew hot and dark as she struggled to keep on her feet with Lucky hanging on her like this. She turned her head from side to side, squirming in the hug as she tried to lean herself back away from the kissing barriage like a child trying to escape the clutches of an overly affectionate relative.

Lucky… missed her? She felt a small tingle of something deep inside. A warmth in knowing that this girl may have been thinking about her… why did Jinx care though? She and Lucky we're mortal enemies. The dark haired woman hated the cheerleader, didn't she? "U-unhand meeeeeeee!" She whined, starting to pry the other girls arms apart until their lips softly pressed together.

Jinx's eyelashes fluttered at the gentle kiss, slowly settling down to a more passive state. Now still, she just took in the moment, relaxing in the other girls embrace as her blush grew deeper. Her thoughts swirled with images of them rolling around in the ring and all the intimate moments the two had shared. Then her imagination ran wild on its own, filling it with perverse landscapes of what could be between the two of them in the future.

Her body perked a bit as she leaned up against Lucky, her tank top doing very little to hide her excitement in the moment. Her hands drifted up a bit, hovering just by Lucky's hips, hesitant to lay themselves upon the girl. She lingered, but ultimately never returned the embrace. Was she purring again?

Her eyes blinked, snapping her back to reality. Leaning back, their lips parted so easily she was left wondering why she hadn't done it sooner… in the moment it had felt impossible. Her eyes drifted off to the side as Lucky lightly placed hands on her hips. "Erm… yeah."

"Wait .. no!" With a sudden burst she pulled back, hopping back a few small steps away before throwing up an accusatory finger at Lucky. "Don't you try to distract me! I am here on a mission!" Her Amber eyes narrowed sharply as she pursed her lips. She was making her angry face, squinched up features that were meant to be intimidating but with the softness in her eyes and color on her cheeks it came across was being… well… kinda cute.

"I am challenging you to a rematch. Right here, right now. You won't have any arena crowds or the bright lights to distract me now." She stood talker, more commanding as she puffed out her chest a bit and spoke with authority. Jinx wagged her finger at Lucky a bit smugly as if she had caught the other girl red handed with something. "And don't you dare refuse, otherwise you will be a HUGE coward! Nyah haha!"

Lucky couldn't help but giggle as Jinxie struggled in her arms, kinda like how a kitty-owner would wrestle with her feline companion! Granted, her little kittie was a LOT stronger and about her size... but there was no denying that she was as cute than the cuddly fluff-balls that she saw all the time! When their lips met... it was something truly magical... The struggling ceased, just a quiet moment of Sakura sharing her love with one of the most beautiful girls in all of Japan... She truly believed it too... There were many women Lucky had kissed both here and in her high-school days and in ALL that time... not  many of them had the kind of effect Jinx had on her! Lucky was genuinely a kind and happy soul, wanting to make every moment she spends with someone a GOOD one... She was very much a giver more than she was a taker... but Jinx... she gave so much back...

Leaning up against Sakura... it was kinda obvious her sports-bra wasn't hiding the fact that their kiss was really turning her on, their breasts softly pushing against one another as the two girls gently pushed against the other... She couldn't help but flash back to that first kiss they shared in the ring, where Lucky had captured Jinxie very much like she had today, tasting her perfect, soft lips for the first time...

...And wondering why she hadn't felt them again up until now...

A very soft red blush flashed across Lucky's nose, connecting her burning cheeks as they kissed, the cheerleader humming ever so softly into her lips... She missed her a lot, she realized... like... A LOT a lot... She didn't really realize until now how much she truly craved the darker girl's presence, to hear her voice and hold her in her arms... Until she actually did! Now she really... REALLY didn't want to let her go... She wanted to just... tenderly snuggle and hug the beautiful little kitty and REALLY get to know her and... and STUFF!

...but Jinx... she had other plans! Springing back like a cat who had fallen into a bath tub, Jinx threw out a finger at Sakura, accusing her of distraction and then CHALLENGING her to another fight!

Lucky blinked, her hands still in position where Jinx' hips had been... kinda stunned how fast the mood had shifted! A small, shocked frown flashed across her face as the cute little kitten bared her little claws... then a very soft, gentle smile flashed across the cheerleader's lips!

"I'd love to have another match you you, Jinx!" Lucky confirmed, letting her hands fall to her sides and flashing the cute little kitten before her a wink! "After all, our first one was so much fun! I'd fight you any time, anywhere!"

"Nyah hahaha! I knew you'd say tha- bwha?" She was cut short, blinking as Lucky just accepted her challenge just like that. She had expected to have to do some convincing or coaxing, especially after singling the girl out after she had been doing a workout. Jinx's cute anger pout only increased in intensity as the girl growled softly. So lucky thought she was a pushover or something, huh?!

"F-fun!?" Her amber eyes flared, stepping in closer to jab Lucky in the chest with her finger. "I'll show you how much fun I can have, kicking your butt all over that ring!" She threw a hand back, pointing behind her at a random section of the gym where barbells were stacked. She glanced back, grumbling at her mistake and pointed instead to an empty practice ring in the middle of the facility.

Her head turned back to Lucky as she lifted her chin cockily, shooting the cheerleader a fanged smirk. "After today, you'll know just how much better I am than you… Sakura!" She had an edge to her voice at the end as if knowing the other girls real name was some sort of a shock.

She let out a small snort, turning on her sneaker heel. She marched with purpose, eyes fixed on the ring before her. She could almost taste her victory already… her grin grew larger as she pictured all the various holds she could place Lucky in, imagining the girl tapping out and saying how much stronger Jinx was than her. This win would be so sweet.

With a small jog towards the end, she slipped under the bottom ropes with a roll, popping to her feet. Walking along the edge of the ring she glanced back towards Lucky, idly adjusting the straps of her tank top. "Try not to go down too easy."

Lucky tilted her head a bit, expecting Jinx to be HAPPY that she accepted her challenge! After all, she DID want to fight, right? But when Sakura expressed her excitement for the idea... It was the darker kitten who seemed surprised! What, did she think that Lucky had completely forgotten about their last match, how hot and awesome and struggly it had been? NAH! If she could get in the ring with Jinx again, even if there was no hentai involved, then she'd do it, no questions asked!

...But it seemed as if Jinx had questions she wanted answered... questions she just REFUSED to ask. Sakura might've been a bit of a bubbly airhead but it wasn't like she was blind to the obvious. Something was biting at little Jinxy and she didn't want Lucky to know about it! Maybe she just didn't take losing well...? Maybe it was something else...? Either way, Sakura nodded as Jinx looked upon her incredulously, confirming that YES, she would LOVE to fight her... and that seemed to invoke even more hostilities!

"Oh! That's why you've been all barb-ish!" Lucky giggled, gently tapping the blunt end of her fist against her palm! "I've got a new rival in you, Jinxie! That's great! You're already an awesome fighter! I'm just glad I get to duke it out with you again!" ...She didn't seem the least bit affected that Jinx knew her REAL name... after all, it wasn't like it's what she told everyone to call her! Only her friends called her "Lucky!" and that meant she had a new friend!

Lucky was beaming... smiling so radiantly, it was as if the sun itself was made manifest in her grin! OH BOY! Not only did she get to fight her cute little counterpart again, but now they were all linked and stuff with Rival status! Jinx wanted to prove herself... And Sakura was MORE than happy to let her try! Ohboyohboyohboy! EXCITEMENT! Jinx WHIRLED AROUND, pointing at the... barbell rack for some reason. Did... did she wanna out-LIFT Lucky...? Like... that was okay, she'd be all over it but she thought Jinx was more into... AH! There it is! With a slight adjustment, Jinx corrected her aim to the ring and THAT made Sakura laugh... NOT because she was mocking Jinx... but because she was funny! She was sweet, beautiful... funny and goofy.... She couldn't help but sigh softly as she looked upon the other girl...

She's so cute... I wanna just... pin her up against the turnbuckle and kiss her so MUCH!

Sakura wasn't far behind Jinx, the two of them slipping into the ring one after the other, Lucky taking her position at one corner, Jinx by an opposing edge!  

"Oh, I'll try!" Lucky giggled in response, all too giddy that they were back here again!  She lightly tugged at the rim of her sport's bra... letting it SNAP back against her taught belly to adjust it a bit! "I wanna make you proud and stuff to be my rival!"

Lucky was so adorable. So cute and kind and soft… she wanted to hate her so much for having the nerve to beat her in Jinx's debut match and humiliate her like that! But Lucky was making it so hard for her to actually hate her. It was frustrating! She was suppose to trash talk back and make fun of Jinx so she had a real reason to dislike her but the girl was a endless fount of rainbows and unicorns. Disgusting!

"Hmph! You aren't my rival, you just happened to steal a win from me. We're on a completely different level! ...ding!" Jinx snuck in the fake Bell at the last minute, leaning forward as she broke into a breakneck run right at Lucky. She wasted no time in starting off their impromptu match, not even bothering to lay down what the rules were if any. She planted a foot hard on the ground, sneaking screeching as she pivoted quickly to send a snappy high kick sailing around at the side of Lucky's head.

If she managed to miss and Lucky hadn't countered against her, she would spin around completely, planting her feet as she would pursue closer to thrust out another foot sideways to try and hammer the cute cheerleader right in her midsection, trying to send her at the ropes.

Ouch...

Lucky thought she figured out how Jinx worked, hiding her real emotions behind a sharp exterior but that...? That one hurt. It hurt enough to wipe off the sweet, happy, eager smile that had touched the cheerleader's face before, replacing it with a determined, stone-like neutrality, an almost exact opposite to how she had been before! Jinx probably didn't really mean it... It took a real cold heart to look someone dead in the face and say they were nothing... She didn't... COULDN'T believe that Jinx could be that cruel...

...but even so...

Sakura didn't have time to ponder her or Jinx's emotions any more, Jinx SPRINGING towards her faster than she had ever seen! Had the dark kitty been working out since their last encounter?? She seemed so much more speedy this time around! Oh no.... Shewasn'treadyshewasn'treadyshewasn'tread-

"OOOOFFFF!" She coughed as Jinx's foot BLASTED into her stomach! Lucky's eyes SHOOTING wide and her cheeks PUFFING up, catching the air being blown RIGHT out of her lungs! The force of such a kick sent Sakura FLYING back into the the ropes, VERY NEARLY being thrown right off them! Luckily, she managed to grab them at the last second, Sakura left gasping for breath, a small dribble of saliva running down her chin!

"Hah!" Jinx left her foot extended at the exact spot she had struck Lucky as the other girl went flying into the ropes. She gave a small fanged smirk, raising a finger to waggle it tauntingly at the cheerleader. Rather than just putting her foot back down, she lifted her leg completely vertical, tracing a circle in the air with the full extension of her leg before setting the ball of her foot back to the canvas in a display of her flexibility.

"What's the matter, too fast for you?" Jinx's amber eyes narrowed as she gave a dark little chuckle. To her, this was showing her superiority. It didn't matter how tired or sluggish Lucky may have been from.her workout, as far as the hard haired girl was concerned this was a fair fight.

She wasted little time darting back in at Lucky, pumping her arms to crank up her speed to cover the short distance. Kicking off the canvas she launched herself forward, throwing out a knee in front of her intending to bury it deep into the cheerleaders stomach to keep her winded and vulnerable.
