Kamikaze (Akashi+Taylor) vs Shiro Shinde (Naoko+Stephanie)

Akashi was arguing madly with the ref pointing at the pile near them and shouting and cursing up something fierce. Her face was red and she had to restrain herself with all her might to keep from knocking the ref down and charging after Taylor. She didn't hear Taylor but she knew that her own tantrum was not helping and after pulling down her eyelid and sticking her tongue out at the ref, she spun around and stomped loudly back to her corner.

She remained with her back turned, gripping tightly onto the tag rope until she was certain the ref had moved back to do her job.

The yakuza girls dragged Taylor and shoved her in the corner, trying to slam her back hard against the turnbuckle. Then Naoko, who was still feeling dazed after the knee to the head slid under the top rope out of the ring and begun to yank Taylor's hair for outside, to makew sure the punky girl remained in the corner. Stephanie understood this as signaling it was her turn, although there was no tag, and was more than happy to get a little revenge.

"yeah yeah bitch" taunted Stephanie while she pushed Taylor back into the corner. "....and you remember this, next time you pee..." the redhead said with a wicked smile as she drove a knee up aiming to hit Taylor right between the legs.

The referee, that was just turning her attention from Akashi to what was happening in the yakuzas' corner, ran as fast as she could towards Stephanie, pulling the redhead away from Taylor and getting in between them.

"Get off my face, chump!...Or else..." Stephanie threatened the refgirl, while Naoko used this distraction to aim a hard elbow blow to the back of Taylor's head.

"AaAAha!"

Taylor reached with both hands for the hands that held her hair. With her head bent back so far she could only just see Stephanie standing in front of her.

The crowd showered the Yakuza wannabes with boos while Stephanie talked some trash and took her shot. Taylor didn't need any extra encouragement to protect her private parts, especially with Stephanie's advance warning. She picked up her feet, bent her knees and turned her hips to the side so that Stephanie's knee thudded against the side of her thigh. It still hurt, but nowhere near as much as much as Stephanie would've liked.

Taylor started to try to say something, possibly about Stephanie threatening the ref, but Naoko's elbow interrupted her. "Agh!" She pitched forward and collapsed to her knees and elbows, jerking her hair free of Naoko's grip in the process. She wrapped her hands around the back of her aching head while she could do nothing but wait out the pain. She took a peak up toward her home corner, and Akashi, and saw that she had a long, long way to go. Still, it was her only shot.

Off balance, dizzy, she shoved herself into a desperate scramble toward her corner, hoping she could reach Akashi before her opponents caught up with her.

"C'mon Taylor-san!" Akashi barked out as she held her tag rope as tightly as possible. Her arm was stretched as far as it could go as she was practically hanging halfway out over the top ropes.

"You got it! You got it!" Akashi encouraged, stamping her foot and waving her hand, encouraging the crowd to start clapping and stamping their feet with her.

Stephanie was too busy arguing with the referee to notice that Taylor had broke away from the corner and was rushing towards Akashi until it was too late. Naoko had lost her grip of the blue-haired girl for a second, to deliver the elbow, and that was enough for the punky girl to make her escape. The redhead followed Taylor only to see her stretch a hand and slap the sumo cutie hand. The tag didn´t stopped Stephanie from taking one last hit at Taylor as she aimed a hard side kick to the lower back of the blue-haired girl, trying to hurt her some more before Akashi stepped in to take her place.

"Nyaaahh!" Taylor wailed and collapsed on her stomach, flat on the mat. "Owww..."

With Akashi on her way in, she only had to roll under the ropes to the apron. She stayed down, arching with one hand pressed against her aching lower back. That'd leave a bruise. Good thing Stephanie was so stupid. If it was Stephanie trying to tag out, Taylor would never have let it happen like that. She lifted her head to watch Akashi go to work.

Akashi was bouncing on her heels when Taylor busted towards her. She licked her lips and gripped the rope with her free hand, reaching out to slap Taylor's hand as hard as she was able to and practically spilled out over the ropes. She had a gleam in her eye as she made a bee line right for Stephanie, looking to knock her down to the canvas with a swinging clothesline aimed to practically take Stephanie's head off!

Stephanie's eyes opened wide as she saw Akashi rushing at her. Something that big shouldn't move so fast. All the redhead could do was to raise her hand and prevent her head from being knocked off. The hit still took her down to the canvas cleanly, sending her legs up as she almost flipped over, landing with a loud thud hitting hard her back and the back of her head. Stephanie's legs finally came down and she was left staring into the rightlights above her not quite sure what had hit her.

Naoko groaned from her corner, not liking at all how the champ had downed her friend. And since the referee seemed distracted watching if Taylor was ok, she decided to make her prescence felt. The Japanese gangsterette slid between the ropes trying to catch Akashi from behind with a kick to the back of the knees.

"Fuck, I'm fine, leave me-- Yeah!" Taylor protested the ref's concern, pausing when Akashi laid Stephanie out to cheer her on. She laid on her back on the ring apron, one hand on her forehead, and propped herself up on one elbow to watch Akashi.

"Gah! Pay attention!" She shouted at the ref-girl, pointing at Naoko the moment she started to come through the ropes. "Earn that paycheck!"

Akashi let out a loud grunt as she smashed Stephanie to the ground. She didn't even look down to see what she did to the Yanki and continued on towards Naoko whether or not her fellow Nihonjin was coming for her. Her rage feuled eyes looked for Naoko and grinned as she saw her enter.

When Naoko thre upher leg, Akashi pushed off and tried to leap over it as best as she could, hoping to spear Naoko down to the mat herself.
