Sakura Hagiwara vs Elena Miyazawa

For a brief moment, it seems as if the pair had slipped into another reality. The voice of the loudly cheering crowd had disappeared and for a moment, it seemed as if the arena was empty and it was just the two of them wrestling with nobody watching. Perhaps that is why it was so easy for them to melt into each others arms and embrace in a tender kiss. The moment didn't last too long and soon the two ladies, red faced in embarrassment, would back away from each other and pretend nothing had happened before getting ready to wrestle.

However, the crowd knew exactly what happened. Some were gasping in shock, some were cat-calling and others were cheering for that ship. Hagiwara would shake her head and focus, quickly shifting her gear on the offensive. Slipping behind her friend, she wrapped her arms around Elena's waist to quickly bent forward to grab Hagiwara's waist and the two ended up grinding against each other in a spooning position.

Hagiwara would puff her cheek before slamming Elena down in a picture perfect German suplex. Not wanting to ease up too quickly, Hagiwara would quickly slide down towards Elena, grabbing her left leg and pulling it towards her chest. Sakura would attempt to wrap her legs around Elena's captured leg and began to twist it, trapping her in a kneebar submission.

"Nrgh, give up Elena-chan....I-I don't want to hurt you too bad" she said, her voice trembling for some reason.

With Sakura's completed suplex, she would move in to capitalize on Elena's prone state, quickly rolling her up into a Kneebar! The red head's eyes shot wide as her fellow Berserker used one of the former panther's own SIGNATURE moves against her, YANKING Elena's leg up and against her buxom breast, attempting to STRAIN her leg to the point of submission! Elena's groaned and gritted her teeth in frustration, her free, booted foot SLAPPING against the oiled slick floor repeatedly in pain as Sakura subjected her to her own move, the dark-haired beauty demanding her to just quit! Elena's eyes clenched shut, sweat and oil rolling down her cheek as she attempted to bare down the agony her opponent, best friend and crush was bringing down upon her leg... It was painful, yes... Erotic even with how their forms pressed together. Elena couldn't help but focus more upon where their skin touched, how warm Sakura was, how slick... rather than the seering sharpness she was injecting into her joints!

...It was painful... But Elena didn't come to the AFW to lose again. She wasn't Sakura who, in her earlier matches, gave up when things got hard! Elena just had too much pride in herself and her own abilities for that! She wouldn't be tapped out... ESPECIALLY by Sakura, her rival, the person she wanted to surpass! She would find a way out of this, even if it took something simple and blunt to do so! She was going to take this match and prove to Sakura, and herself, that she deserved to be here!

"N...NO!" Elena fired back, her eyes snapping open again! Crossing one of her arms back over her chest, one Sakura had failed to take hold of or block off, Elena would WHIP it back in order to SLAM her elbow right across Sakura's jaw! If she didn't let go immediate, this attack would rear back and strike again and again, each one hitting HARDER and HARDER than the last, fueled by the adrenaline brought forth in response to her friend's submission! Even her own muscles were beginning to constrict, limit in movement, pain infecting her very muscles and keeping them locked... But Elena would not quit!

Not until Sakura beat her so bad she fell SICK would she ever concede a match to her!

With that one moment of affection gone, Sakura now had to focus back on the match. However, whenever their bodies would come into close contact once more it was hard not to let that moment ride back into her memories. Coincidentally, as wrestlers the sport demanded such close quarter physical contact and such contact was double sensitive and erotic in a match such as oil wrestling where the two fit, oiled bodies of the young, beautiful women would no doubt rub and grind against each other in most if not all times in the match.

Even after the departure of the intimate moment, Hagiwara know had Elena trapped in a knee bar submission which had Hagiwara pull Elena's knee towards the chest with her own legs wrapped around the capture leg. Hagiwara twisted and pulled that leg, trying to make her friend/rival and now perhaps something more give up but the orange haired wrestler would not do so and instead she began to shoot her elbow back into the jaw of Hagiwara over and over again until the raven haired wrestler had no choice but to let go.

"Owww I-It hurts..." she moaned clutching her jaw and rolling away from Elena to get some distance and nurse her aching jaw.

Elena's counterattack worked like a charm, driving the former idol off of her and causing her to recoil back across the oily surface of the ring. It was almost frustrating how much Sakura threw herself away, retreating just out of arm's reach as she cradled her face and whined. It was one thing about Sakura that frustrated the former Blue Panther, her constant complaints about the harshness of wrestling! Sure she could take a beating, as any one of her opponents could attest to, but she always announced how MUCH she was in pain, screaming to the high heavens as if it would help her at all... Against Rio, against the Jackal, against Elena herself... The toughness of body Sakura possessed just didn't seem attribute to her spirit. Despite whatever feelings Elena might've had for Sakura. the one thing she wished was that... well... she was harder. Tougher, you know... More like herself!

...Maybe it was just her callow-side talking but hearing Sakura yell out in pain every time she was hit, exclaiming her agony... It was just... frustrating...

Frustration alone wouldn't keep Elena from her rival, quickly rising to her feet... or as quickly as she could with her feet slipping and sliding all over beneath her! Once the red-head and climbed to her feet, she would cautiously and clumsily make her way up to her fallen friend, her wounded leg dragging slightly behind her, her knee still seering between the cap and bone from where Sakura had stretched her... and with her own move, no less! Ugh... It was almost as humiliating as...

"Are you surprised?" Elena grunted softly, reaching down and slipping her arms underneath Sakura's, their bare chests pressing together intensely as Elena PULLED her friend up to her feet! "I'm stronger than you now, Sakura! And I..."

Suddenly, Elena would rear back, aiming to THROW Sakura behind her in a powerful SUPLEX, SLAMMING her best friend into the ground head first behind her!

"...Will be the strongest in the world!"

Hagiwara had always been weak against strikes and blows to her body. She had spent so much time working on trying to escape submission move that her defence was severely lacking against the more stiff strikes. Thus, the elbow to her her jaw really hit her hard causing her to release Elena from the kneebar submission and roll away from the orange haired wrestler, nursing her sore jaw for the moment.

Her usual complain of wrestling moves hurting would surface once more, no matter how many times she learned to toughen up somehow or the other her old attitude would come back to haunt her. Instead of learning to tough up and take it on the chin she would curl up and sulk. Elena was not going to let that get in the way, she was not going to sympathize with her friend at all.

Stumbling towards her, Elena would slip her arms under Sakura's and pull her up until they were chest to chest. Once more their slick bodies would suggestively rub against each other for a bit before Hagiwara was pulled up and thrown over Elena in a belly to belly suplex.

"Waaaaaahh!! Owwww....M-my back" Hagiwara would moan out loud after her back would smack against the ring mats. The back of her head and her lower back really feeling the impact and she would lay there on her back, clutching the back of her head and slowly turning over onto her belly.

There was no room for sympathy in a battle, not when one's on convictions were on the line. Elena didn't know to what extent Sakura took this seriously, but for the redhead, this was almost as important as her idol-career once was to her! Not only was her rivalry with her friend driving her forward, but her need to establish herself as a fighter here on AFW! She had brought over her old drives into a new world and now both were pushing her forward to succeed! If Sakura wanted to win this fight, she was going to have to fight Elena like she meant it... or else this was going to be very painful for her!

With a mighty SPLASH Sakura would SLAM into the ground on the bad end of Elena's Belly-to-Belly Suplex, the former Idol rolling around and clutching at her back, CRYING out in pain! Grunting softly, Elena would rise up to her feet slowly, looming over her opponent as she flipped over on her belly, the red-head standing tall like a colossus over Sakura! Despite there not being sympathy... there was an uncomfortable mix of feelings here... On the one hand, there was a sharp, demanding desire for victory... Seeing Sakura bare, vulnerable at her feet... she was practically begging for a submission! There was nothing defensive about her position whatsoever, her back exposed, her form weak and trembling. On the other hand... There was a carnal desire welling up beneath, a force pulling her eyes to observe invasively upon Sakura's bare... slick and dripping shape. Her facial features were as full and gentle as a goddess, still as perfect as they were when they first started to take up wrestling. Even after the beatings Sakura had taken, she still held the image of divinity upon her and her body was no exception. Skin as fare as it could be and eyes both blazingly determined and surprisingly soft, Elena could only feel hear the pounding of her heart in her chest over the roar of the crowd, feel the ghost of her touch upon her back where Sakura's breasts had once pressed.

...It was a haunting feeling and a mighty one indeed, the wrestler almost having to fight against her own body in order to keep herself in line... keep her hands only where they were necessary to win the fight! It... frightened Elena, the strength of these feeling she was having for Sakura! The way they controlled her as if her blood and muscles were fighting the will of her brain, the way her mind was being flashed with all sorts of potential... "moves" she could use upon her friend, they way she was almost persuaded to follow through with a few of them... It was as if she were mutating into a new person...

...And she didn't like it...

Stepping over Sakura, Elena would KNEEL down so that she straddled Sakura's waist from behind, wrapping her hands under the former Idol's chin and PULLING her back in a POWERFUL Boston-Crab! Elena's rear would rest upon her rival's their cheeks mashing and sliding against each other as their oiled forms clutched tight once again.... and all Elena could do... was grit her teeth... and BLUSH!

It was strange how a tender moment could turn into such a violent one in mere moments. That was the life of a wrestler when forced to wrestle in such 'unique' conditions to say the least. Hagiwara knew there was pain involved in wrestling, she learned that by wrestling Rio, Misaki and yes, even Elena when she was the Blue Panther. However, this sensation she felt a moment ago was new to her and she never knew that there was a lewd side in wrestling as well.

In a snap though, it all changed and it was back to the ground and pound. Hagiwara found herself driven into the canvas thanks to a well executed belly to belly suplex. The former Sweet Diva Idol would howl in pain, clutching her back and doing her best to try and recover.

That is when Elena made her move, straddling her butt with her own and clutching Hagiwara's chin with the use of her fingers to pull her head back in a painful Camel Clutch submission. "Owwww, Owwww I-It hurts" she would moan out loudly. Hagiwara would extend her hands forward, trying to crawl forward and use the oil to her advantage to slide a bit and do her best to try and reach the bottom ring ropes.

Elena had never felt more conflicted in her life when it came to... well... anything! Sakura invoked just so many things in her, it was so hard to keep tract of exactly what! She was her friend, she was her rival, Elena was jealous of her, Elena was in love. She wanted to fight Sakura, she couldn't stand seeing her friend hurt... There was just so much flickering in and out of the mind of the Blue Panther, it was like trying to make out a complete image through a cloud of static! If one thing was consistent about her feelings towards Sakura Hagiwara, it was that she felt STRONGLY about her. When she was mad, she was enraged! When she was laughing, it was nothing less than a full-belly chortle! When she fought, her intensity was matched only by her ferocity! She gave her all whenever she engaged with Sakura, beit a fight or just something less confrontational! These strong feelings would bring hardship on Elena from time to time as evidenced  by her first conflict with Rio and her continuing spats with her best friend...

...But sometimes...

Sometimes they could lead her in the right direction.

Elena grunted softly as Sakura STRUGGLED in her boston crab, the red-head's grip steadily slipping as the slickened skin of Sakura made it IMPOSSIBLE to hold on to! She might as well had been trying to grab a bar of soap for as much good as it did her, the former panther inevitably having to release her friend... or rather, lose her grip entirely as Sakura's legs slipped out of her grasp! The sudden recoil of losing Sakura's legs forced Elena forwards, falling on her knees as her opponent attempted to slip, slide and crawl away, using the oil both on her veluptuous form and on the floor below to her advantage to make some distance!

"Oh no... you don't..." Elena gasped, her chest bouncing with enthusiasm as it rose and fell with heavy breaths! Elena would reach out for Sakura, attempting to grab at her thigh... but even if she could touch her, Elena was FAR too oiled up for it to last! Sakura would simply slip out of her grasp again, leaving Elena sitting on her knees, trying to catch her breath!

Hagiwara had spent many of her early wrestling career in trying to find the best counter to the Boston Crab. A lot of wrestlers knew it was her weakness and she couldn't remember how many times she was forced to tap out because she could never bear the pain from it neither could she ever find a good way to escape it. It was only after some training sessions with Misaki was she slightly more capable of finding an escape route out of it.

Despite that, she still struggled against the move and nobody knew that better than Elena who was using it against her in their rubber match. Struggling to fight back, Sakura chose to retreat towards the ring ropes thinking that would be her best bet. After crawling her way towards the ropes it seemed Elena was having a hard time keeping a hold of Hagiwara's smooth, oiled legs herself.

Eventually, the orange haired wrestler slipped out and stumbled forward, sliding on her knees away from her friend. Hagiwara would pounce towards the ropes, feeling Elena's hands grab onto her legs but slide right off them. "Hah....phew, that was close" Sakura would say to herself before pulling up on the ropes to shift up on her knees. Sakura would turn around to face Elena and give her a thumbs up and a smile, indicating she was ready to go and was impressed by her friend.

Not waiting too long, the raven haired wrestler would crawl towards Elena and bring her arms out infront of her, looking to lock up in a up close and personal clinch with her oiled friend.

Elena couldn't help but groan in annoyance as her advantage over Sakura slipped right out of her hands... literally. With oil practically dripping off them both, the former lead idol easily slipped right out of the red-head's agonizing grip... then escaping her second attempt as Elena's fingers couldn't get a good hold upon her foot! Before she knew it, Sakura was up again... and smiling at her...? Elena's azure eyes widened slightly in shock as her friend, even after suffering her infamously debilitating submission, she simply rose to her knees and gave a thumbs-up to her... like she was complimenting the hold...? This was nothing less than odd, especially for a match with a rivalry as fiery as theirs driving it! She expected, at least, for Sakura to throw some kind of counter, some immediate rebound-attempt to make Elena pay for their trade in positions... but no, not this time! No, Sakura would simply inch towards Elena on her knees, hands raised to lock up with her in a clinch!

...Elena couldn't help but freeze... conflicted. On the one hand, she could easily exploit this. Sakura was telegraphing her intentions to her, practically throwing out what she might do next and what that move's weaknesses were! She could easily determine a counter and lash it upon Sakura as punishment for such a bold maneuver, for allowing her guard to lower so dramatically in a fight like this! Already, Elena had been coming up with counters, possible strikes and submissions she could use to put her friend out of the game for good. Arm-bars and chest-chops would be more than enough to put Sakura down, Elena judged, if she kept them going back-to-back! A simple strategy, but then, she didn't think it would take much to out-think Sakura's brash determination, to work around it and make her attacks work against her...

...But on the other hand, that almost seemed like a betrayal of a friendly challenge. Look at her, smiling so innocently, offering her hands out to Elena as if to beckon for a test of strength. An image flashed across Elena's mind from when Sakura and she were younger, a much sweeter Sakura holding her arms out just like this, demanding a hug with all the cuteness and innocence in the world... Elena wasn't in a good mood that day, angry even, having gotten off of an argument with another girl. She wanted nothing more than to disappear into a hole and brood... But she just couldn't deny Sakura then...

...And she couldn't really deny her now.

"Haaaah...." Elena sighed, letting out the building confliction building in her chest, the red-head returning the smile Sakura gave her graciously and raised her hands as well, locking them with her rival's! Elena would PUSH into Sakura INSTENSELY, aiming to overpower her right at the start, her oiled, bare upper-half PRESSING into Sakura's as they grappled together! Her eyes locked with the darker browns of the former Idol's, almost as if a spark FLASHED between their gazes!

"...Heh... Gotten stronger, Sakura?" Elena exclaimed between effortful grunts!
