Round 1: Tammy Naga vs Kiku Shiori

Kiku successfully heaved Tammy and threw her backwards, letting her flip and hit the mat. Somehow, despite being on her knees and having just been subject to a charge, the little sumo wrestler managed not to fall back alongside Tammy and get crushed under her. In had taken her quite some effort to achieve this, but her stability training had come in handy. No self-respecting Sumo would lose a match by trying to throw the opponent and losing balance before him, and Kiku, despite her disadvantages, was no exception.

The mat rumbled with the impact, and on hearing the sound Kiku laid a hand on her knee and got up again. Her side throbbed lightly on the spot Tammy had hit her, but it was not more serious than what the piledriver had done to her, and thus it was the latter which occupied her thoughts. She heard Tammyâ€s compliment just as she was turning to face her, and she could not help but to feel a little proud over it. “Thanks… youâ€re good too…” And then she crouched back into her fighting stance. They could compliment each other afterwards; now was the time of battling. “…but this isnâ€t all I can do!”

As Tammy was completely up yet, Kiku would have a small window of time to maneuver as she wished. However, she didnâ€t intend to attack Tammyâ€s back; instead, she quickly motioned around her opponent, getting in front of her. When she did, Tammy would be halfway to her feet, and Kiku would swiftly send a downwards palm strike at her rising head. Although she looked frail, her wiry arms packed quite the impressive strength, and this time Tammy was the one in a bad position.

Despite the pain in the back of her skull from being tossed like that, Tammy just managed to shake it off overtime. She hated getting struck there, always getting a headache after enough blows to the head. Mostly because it made it difficult to do her favorite thing, which involved listening to music more than anything else. She knew it was a match, and a respectful one at that. But still, it frustrated her every time she got hit there, knowing her love for music would be hindered until the aching pain faded away.

Giving a small grunt as she got up, Tammy found herself still on her knees as Kiku started to rush at her, Tammyâ€s gazed fixed strait ahead of her, noticing the incoming palm strike towards her face. Already agitated about the blow to the back of it, Tammy would do anything to prevent another one towards her. So, she decided to work with what she could on her knees, hiding her little crack of a grin in anticipation. She always worked well when she was low to the ground, so this wouldnâ€t be too much different, or so she told herself. Clenching her fist, Tammy would send it right into the palmstrike, hoping to make the two collide.

It was the equivalent of sending an cement wall against an iron boulder at high speeds, as the two smashed with rattling force. Tammy nearly felt her wrist buckle in, any more force probably being enough to break it, as her fist slammed hard into Kikuâ€s palm. It may have stopped the girl in her tracks and prevented the blow to her head, but her entire arm felt numb, almost regretting the strike now as she worried that she may have sprained it, gritting her teeth in pain from what she had just done, but knowing Kiku was probably feeling something similar.

Being already in the middle of her striking motion, Kiku had no chance of stopping it and avoiding Tammyâ€s punch. In fact, for a millisecond she did not notice that Tammy had actually stricken back and thought she had been successful in hitting her head. But then, she felt a set of knuckles budging against her palm. The two strikes met with unbelievable precision and nullified each other. The force of the impact then spread on her palm, spiraled up her wrist and rippled through her arm. Such was the shock of the opposing blows that Kiku stumbled a few steps back with a cute, small grunt after the impact.

“Aah… ittai…” Kiku mumbled under her breath. She picked her own wrist to check its condition, wincing a little. She had been lucky not to have sprained or broken anything, but that had been dangerous both for her and Tammy; just a bit more and they could have been much worse. Her wrist and forearm throbbed painfully; even though she knew that Tammy should be in a similar state, Kiku thought it best to play defensive for a while until her arm was good. Staying in place, she would keep looking at Tammy as she got up, awaiting her next action. She put her good arm forward in her stance, so as to make her hurt one less vulnerable.

Her muscles and bones rattled to the core after such a strike, the explosive force between Kikuâ€s speed, and Tammyâ€s power between their awesome blows left the girl rattle, cringing as she felt her entire arm nearly go numb. However, Tammy didnâ€t regret what she did, forcing a pained grin as she clutched her wrist, slowly rotating her hand to test if it was okay, feeling it hurt just from that as she realized what she did was a bit over the top. None the less, the crowd absolutely loved it! The two kawaiiâ€s were in fact adorable, but to see that the two could really put up a fight like that two left them in a wild cheer, expecting to see the two girls really go at it even more, hoping for some action, and for once, not in the intimate way.

Getting to her feet, Tammy was still shaking her arm a little, even rotating her shoulder, just to make sure she was okay, still cringing a little from how much it really rattled her. She would have to give that arm a rest for a minute or two. As much as Tammy could fight through the pain, that was a bit much, and she even feared breaking it at first. “Grr… damn that was stupid..” She said with a hint of pain in her tone, wincing as she got herself ready, deciding to take an offensive and change things up for a bit. “Hope I didnâ€t break anything..” Tammyâ€s somewhat blunt tone said to Kiku, not really concerned, almost like a cocky sort of attitude, before Tammy ran to the ropes behind her. Though she was breathing a little heavier, Tammy was able to rush to the topes, bouncing off it with her back to get some extra speed, before going strait to Kiku. At the last instant, she held out her other arm that wasnâ€t hurting, hoping to clothsline the girl. Only, she aimed a little lower, right into Kikuâ€s upper chest, hoping to make it harder to avoid.

Kiku waited patiently for Tammy to stand up again, keeping her stance and breathing steadily. With her new injury, she wasnâ€t in a rush to go into the fight again. Rather, she was almost grateful that Tammy didnâ€t attack right away, as the small break allowed her to subdue the pain on her limb for the time being. Of course, the young wrestler would not admit that if asked, but this didnâ€t matter. “Donâ€t worry, itâ€s nothing!” Despite Tammyâ€s cold voice, Kiku answered assertively, not wanting her opponent to go lighter on her because of a little mishap.

The extra time also gave Kiku the chance to clear her thoughts and observe Tammy carefully. When the girl rebounced and started running towards her, Kiku thought that her torso was too straight up; this meant that she would not attempt to tackle her. By simple elimination, she concluded that what awaited her was some sort of running strike. A punch, perhaps, or maybe a drop kick. So, when Tammy reached a close distance, Kiku suddenly changed her sumo stance to a very, very low crouch – she could as well have gotten on all fours, like a small bear cub, at the height she was now. This would make her difficult to hit, but she didnâ€t want to merely avoid the incoming strike; she wanted to counter it. So, without even seeing what Tammy was setting up, Kiku made a short dash towards the opponent, trying to grab her by the hips and take her down. Like Tammyâ€s counter before, this move could also be considered somewhat reckless, but if she did ram Tammy it would at least be gut against shoulder, so Kiku shouldnâ€t be in much trouble. Right?

With no intention of stopping, Tammy felt confident that her blow would strike. In fact, even with the damage in her hand and wrist, Tammy only let it fuel her vigor more, as she dashed for Kiku with her arm out in a clothesline attempt. She wasnâ€t too fond of attacks like this, strongly preferring grapples instead, but this was what seemed like the perfect tactic to her for now. Tammy had a feeling though that as much as she respected a fair fight, she might have to take this to a different level if things got too difficult. With every intention to win, Tammy wasnâ€t going to at anything from gaining victory.

Focusing on her strike now though, her golden eyes went wide when Kiku crouched down at the last moment, her own momentum too quick and fast now to stop herself. ‘”Shi- Uughn!!” Before even finishing a swear from her mistake, the black haired kawaii found her small body colliding right into Kiku, her soft belly smashing right into the bone of Kikuâ€s shoulder, literally stopping Tammy in her tracks. Her mouth hung open as she was motionless, silently trying to gasp for air, like a fish out of water, still remaining pressed against the girlâ€s shoulder like a sword had impaled her, and she couldnâ€t move until it was removed. Breathless and in an agonizing pain as she felt like her organs had just received a blow form a hammer, Tammy felt her legs give out, sinking to her knees, almost limp against the girl as her hands instinctively clutched her lower stomach. The moment Kiku would step back, Tammy would collapsed forth on the mat, knees against it and head leaning down too, making her ass stick up in the air and giving the fans just a slight peek up her short skirt to see those light blue and white striped panties as she coughed in agony for a breath, trembling from the lack of air as the wind was knocked out of her.

As Kiku thrusted herself into Tammy with vigor, she received all the momentum that had been built during the run. She grabbed Tammyâ€s sides firmly and planted her feet on the mat, using all her leg strength and technique to stop the high-speed opponent. The move worked almost perfectly, as Tammy was soon stopped dead in her tracks without overrunning Kiku. The only downside was that she had to hold to Tammy with her injured arm as well, but she couldnâ€t help it. Without the extra stability it gave her, the move wouldnâ€t have been so effective.

Thrilled with the intensity of the fight and encouraged by this new success, Kiku was more than ready to engage in another grappling contest with Tammy, already fixing her center of gravity so she wouldnâ€t be lifted upside-down again. However, after the forceful impact, the sumo realized that Tammyâ€s movement was now sluggish. More or less guessing the situation Tammy was now in - she had been on her place more than once - Kiku relinquished her grip on Tammyâ€s hips and moved away, getting up and letting Tammy slump down to the mat.

A small wave of flashes burst from the audience. Looking at Tammy, Kiku realized that she wasnâ€t in a very modest position, getting an awkward blush in the process. At least she wasnâ€t behind Tammy, else she would have spotted her panties and would have become even more flustered. Then, noticing an opportunity of winning the match, Kiku crouched beside Tammy and tried to flip her, making her lie on her back. If the cat-eared girl offered no resistance, then Kiku would mount her chest and hold down her shoulders, going for a pin attempt.

This was inconceivable, and absolutely humiliating for her. Not on the level of embarrassment though from her underwear being seen, but the fact that she was already down. At least, that sort of embarrassment over the sexual appeal just hadnâ€t settled in yet, as Tammy was coughing painfully in weak, struggled attempts to gain her breath back. The girl knew she was in a rough spot right now, and the agony in her chest was becoming difficult to shrug off as her lungs desperately, attempted to recover and give her a solid breath right now.

With a few moments to herself, Tammy panted slowly, feeling like she would eventually get over this, but still needed her time. And unfortunately, Kiku didnâ€t seem to want to allow that, as Tammy felt the girl trying to push Tammy over, hoping to roll her onto hr back. Whether it was for a pin, a submission, or a grapple, Tammy wasnâ€t going to let it happen! She was furious that she could be taken down like this so quickly, and wasnâ€t going to just shrivel up and give up. A mix of desperation, anger, and shame coming across her, she lashed out with what she had, suddenly springing her upper half back up, wanting to get to her feet. However, she didnâ€t attempt to get up so soon, as Kiku was already close and pushing her over. So, snapping her head back like she had just suddenly been brought back to life, Tammy sent the back of her skull up with her body, thrusting the whole back of her head into Kiku, going for a reverse headbutt right at the girl with all her strength to shake her off as Tammy growled out in frustration like a cornered lion.

As soon as Kiku laid her hands on Tammy, it became clear that the girl wasnâ€t down for the count yet, as she simply refused budging. This information, although disappointing on one side, didnâ€t affect Kikuâ€s temper; it was her burning determination which drove her, and not anger against her opponents. Stalwart, Kiku kept trying to move Tammy, trying to use some leverage to flip her over.

In that moment, however, obstinacy had been a mistake. While Kiku attempted to outwrestle Tammy, the raven-haired girl suddenly reared back her head and sent a headbutt to the side of Kikuâ€s cheek. Her eardrum was rattled by the surprise attack, and one of her hands went to the affected place by reflex. Thus distracted, Kiku couldnâ€t keep Tammy from getting up anymore; however, she still held on to her 8-ball shirt with one hand. After she shook off the effects of the blow, Kiku hatched another impromptu plan to stop her opponent.

As Tammy got up, Kiku clung to her and aligned her body with hers; her small chest would be pressed against Tammyâ€s back, creating a pose that could have been considered suggestive in other circumstances. Then, she slung her healthy arm around Tammyâ€s neck; she was all intent on locking a sleeper hold on the girl, and if she succeeded she would be holding Tammy by her neck and head only.

Tammy knew she was going to be feeling that blow to her gut all day now, and she was even now still experiencing trouble breathing. It had become a bad habit of hers, often getting hurt from her own, risky attempts of an attack, and this was no exception, as she was even now still clutching her stomach after the reverse headbutt. The slight ache in the back of her skull though was superficial, and she praised her hard head for that one, but she knew if she didnâ€t turn things around and recover, she would be on a steady losing streak. And that, Tammy would never accept!

Aware that her opponent was still grabbing her, Tammy tried her best to think up a strategy. She was never one to think things too far through, maybe only a step or two ahead of herself, but she had plenty of spirit despite her bland personality, and was tough despite her smaller stature. And she knew that no matter what Kiku through at her, Tammy would throw right back twice as hard, deciding to rely more on her strength than her speed since that was her main advantage.

However, before Tammy could mount her own offensive, she found herself once again struggling on to even gather herself, as just when she found herself able to take a full breath again, it was cut short as Kikuâ€s arms wrapped around her head and neck in a perfect sleeper hold. Tammyâ€s eyes narrowed and she gave a low growl under her breath, truly frustrated at this point at her blunders and inability to mount any good counter yet, but she had practiced, and tried to keep calm.

Quickly she turned her head first to face the crook of Kikuâ€s elbow, it wasnâ€t much, but created just the tiniest amount of breathing room, just to give herself a few more seconds. Then, she began to widen her stance by spreading her legs slightly, and lowered her weight into her legs, even beginning to bend her knees. Tammy felt the air escaping her, and at this point was struggling, but she acted as fast as she could, ignoring everything about the girl against her or the crowd who loved seeing the two Kawaiiâ€s so close, and she got ready for a counter.

After bracing herself like she had, Tammy used her two arms that were still free, and reached behind her, grabbing Kikuâ€s wrist by her neck, and shoulder. With her grip still tight as she relied on the last bit of air she had, Tammy suddenly straitened her legs again and shifted her weight back up to throw Kiku off balance towards her back, and the girl began to lean forward in a rapid shift in her weight, hoping to bring Kiku up against her back, before leaning further, pulling down at the girlâ€s arms, as she would perform a shoulder throw, and bring Kiku down hard on her back. Tammy knew a thing or two about Judo, and although she didnâ€t show off as a true practitioner of it, she still knew the basics like that, and it would work perfectly in countering the girl.
