A blast from the past: Tsumi meets Anja

Some months before Karasu arrives in Japan:

It was one of these days where Anja aka Karasu felt that she was closer to the sunny side of life than usual. Her current course had taken her to the USA, but she didn't really know where she was right now. A city just stayed a city, name or not. Right now she stood in the ring of a nice looking dojo, built for comforted functionality, built by people who had the money to spare for detail.

She had made some dollars in a night club by wrestling in salad some days before, but the money slid out under her fingers when she bought new clothes and something to eat, and so she had been broke again. Until an slightly older women, who had seen her in the club and had seen that she was not merely eye candy, approached her with a generous offer to spar with a girl named Tsumi from some crappy J-Pop group. This Tsumi-chick fought her way up in a pretty big league at this time, and rumor had it that she was on her way to AFW and needed some real competition to avoid getting slaughtered in No-Holds-Barred Land. But that meant that she had seen some pyrotechnics before and cut some promo, so Karasu wouldn't have to teach her that too.

*Natalia is in that league too*
Karasu thought about her old friend for a second while putting on her wrestling gear from days long gone, a black hot pants and a fitting small shirt with pink ravens. It still fitted tightly and the memory was shoved aside, she had work to do now. So she looked to the entrance of the Dojo from where she expected her opponent to appear.

Before Tsumi returns to Japan:

Tsumi was in the locker room changing into her [url=http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll49/evarksclone/A16_Z1.jpg:17k9sg0e]wrestling gear[/url:17k9sg0e]. Hamada had told Tsumi that today she would be wrestling with someone that she has probably never faced before. Tsumi heard that Mariko found her wrestling in a night club the other night. Hamada sure did want to give her one last test, and today Hamada would be the ref and would act like an actual ref would in a match. Tsumi smiles as she grabs a green capsule and smirked, today she was going to pull out all the stops. She then sighs as she pulls up her black booty shorts, a tight red top with the mix of yellow, green, and black, pulls up two knee pads, and puts on her black boots with red kick pads on them. She then puts her green capsule in her shorts as she grabs her combat gloves and puts them on. She then walks over to the mirror and looks right at her refelction as she then ties her hair up into that side ponytail that she loves so much as she looks at her own eyes she then says, "This is it...Time to prove to everyone here that you are ready to move back to Japan. The US hasn't made you soft, all it did was make you stronger. You're ready for this!" She smiles as she raises her fist into the air and then brings it back to her side with a smile on her face as she rushes out of the locker room to go and meet her opponent for today.

Tsumi looks at the ring where she saw Hamada in the ring wearing cut off ref shirt that fit tightly around her chest as Tsumi blushes. She remembers when she and Hamada had wrestled in a practice hentai match and how she had fun making Hamada climax over and over again while playing with her wonderful orbs. But she shook that off as she rushes over and says, “Iâ€m here! Sorry for being late I had to change!” Hamada just smirked as she saw Tsumi approach Karasu as she smiled as she bowed and then says, “Thank you for taking the offer Ms. I am Tsumi Yoshida and I will be your opponent for the evening. But Hamada never told me what was your name is. What is it?” She smiles at her new opponent who she admits looks pretty cool as she smiles and waits for her to respond with her eyes big and happy looking right at her Karasu. Some may think that Tsumi still has that look of a J-Pop singer and the outfits she wears sometimes and her happy go lucky attitude are not saying she is a wrestler.

Her opponent looked like a clown in her eyes, but Anja didn't even smirk a little about it. The meanest fighters looked like clowns by design, hopping to pull the wool over your eyes and then put out decent firepower. But when she was really a clown and her paranoia deceived her, this would be a very funny evening for eher.
"People call me Karasu.”
Anja replied duty-friendly, slightly bowing her head to greet Tsumi back after checking her body out. She looked ripe for the picking, but that Hamada-chick hadn't bought her in to have sex with Tsumi. At least not from the start.
"You're clear about the type of match? I won't open palm you, won't throw you to fall comfortable, or release pressure from a submission until you give. Only jobbers do that in AFW.”
Anja had already warmed up, but leaned into the ropes to test how they were fixed. That she intended to win in any way wasn't something she would openly admit.

Tsumi nodded as she listened to Anja, she totally sounded and looked totally legit. She then looked towards Hamada who was making sure the ring was ready. Hamada made sure that Tsumi would have a challenge in the ring, but then she smirks as she then chimed in, "Hey Karasu-chan, you can have a little fun with her if you want. She has to be prepared for anything in a match in AFW, I can tell you that from experience.”

Tsumi blushes as she then nods as she was looking Anja up and down, checking her out. She blushed as she noticed how good looking Anja really was, a nice athletic build, and not to mention she looked rather…Attractive. Tsumi then nods to her last statement as she looks right into Anjaâ€s eyes. “Yes I understand Karasu, and I plan on giving back the same treatment to you. But I do wish you luck that we both have a good fight.” Tsumi said as she walks over to the steps and climbs up onto the apron. She grabs the top rope and jumps into the middle of the ring as she looks at Anja waiting for this to begin. She starts stretching out a little bit, trying to get limber before this match was to begin. She then rushes to the turn buckle and jumps up to the second one as she looks at the pretend crowd that they were wrestling for. Tsumi then points to the pretend crowd and jumps back down to face Anja as she was waiting for the go ahead from the bell. As soon as it would ring Anja would notice if she was paying close attention to Tsumi's eyes that they had become fierce like that of a fighter entering in a MMA match. The happy deamonor was gone, Tsumi would be ready to fight.

"Luck is for losers and subbies. But if the ref tells me I can have a little fun too, you might have been indeed lucky in getting me for training. ”
Tsumi seemed to be one of the nicer persons you could meet, but Anja wouldn't have thought different of her if she had been a jackass. Nice girls squirmed better, jackasses were more fun in breaking them in.
"But a challenging fight is what I have in mind too.”

As Tsumi made her routine, Anja let her do her thing with a cracked smile. She had been trained to pose, look good, appease. But she didn't really like doing it, but Tsumi was kind of a singer or something like that and did it for fun. Or wasn't she? After her little posing, the girl showed the eye of the tiger, really kindling the interest of Anja in Tsumi as a fighter.
"Oi. Is there really a fighter under all that glitter? Nice.”
Anja charged suddenly out of the ropes, doing a two step 360° discus punch attack at Tsumi's torso, looking how much of a defense she could muster.

Tsumi looked at Anja as she kept her eyes focused on her as she spoke then as she paced her opponent seeing where Anja would go. Tsumi was trying to figure out Anjaâ€s style because unlike Hamada, she didnâ€t have Anjaâ€s move set memorized. She then saw Anja charge at her after saying that Tsumi did look like a fighter under all that frilly stuff she calls her personality. Tsumi then saw the discus punch coming at her as rolls out from its reach for the first time. Tsumi was ready for it since she let Anja have the first move but now it was time for her to strike. If Anja turned around Tsumi was going for kick to Anjaâ€s left shin, Tsumi thinking that if you take out a wrestlerâ€s feet anyway you slow them down no matter what they prefer. She then decides to answer Anja as she says, “You could say this look is…A Yoshida thing.” Tsumi was waiting to see if her kick would connect if it did she would go for an elbow aiming at Anjaâ€s jaw.

Kicker and striker, a grim smile streaked on the face of Anja. Natalia would just hate fighting against Tsumi, that seemed clear to Anja in the moment she realized that the girl aimed at one of her shins to stop her motion. She decided to roll with the attack of Tsumi after her discus punch hit only thin air, using the energy of the hit and her own movement to do a backflip kick against Tsumi's head or torso.

It was no slouch hit she had taken, but Anja loved the thrill of being challenged and was used to suffer on her path to victory so that a single hit wouldn't stop her from advancing. And a fist to the tummy where her jaw had been seconds before neither.

Tsumi looks at the Anja as she was met with a kick to her gut, Tsumi staggers back but catches herself from falling over. She holds onto her stomach as she walked forward towards Anja and falls to the ground acting as if that kick did more damage than what it really did. Tsumi waited a few seconds before she struck as she went to kip up but towards Anja aiming to lock her legs around Anjaâ€s neck hopefully being able to toss her with a hurricanrana.

She called this move a kipuprana a move she developed and if she was just to miss she would stand back up on her feet. She would stare at Anja waiting to see what was coming to her next, everything she had was riding on this match. Her one chance...To head back to Japan and still wrestle. She couldn't stop, she had to keep going to prove to Hamada she was ready.

"Uh!”
Karasu let out a grunt as she hit the floor on her back. Her kick had connected and Tsumi stumbled away, but she had to admit that her opponent was no girlie who liked to played wrestling with the big girls. She got up and attempted to grab Tsumi by the ankles, but the girl had a surprise for her and put her legs around her neck as she had approached her downed opponent, Anjas hands grabbed at the gripping legs of Tsumi to stop her motion, but it was too late and she was tossed through the air and rolled with the hurricanrana to do a rather awkward roll forward and come out in a crouching position.

"Nyahahaha!!!”
Tsumi could offer the sensation the crow girl desired, and Anjas eyes glazed with the thrilling emotions of a fight while she was laughing. Her shin emitted a blunt impulse, but it was bearable.
"Very good! Not a big fan of the hurricanrana move myself, but you can for sure go, Tsumi-chan. ”
She got up, obviously in a very good mood now. Her next attack after a more cautious approach than the last one would be a halfhearted attack to Tsumi's knee while her real goal was to grab a wrist of the girl and twist it around in an arm bar.

“Oh, thank you!”
Tsumi looks Karasu as she saw what seemed to be what could be some sort of happiness in Karasuâ€s eyes. Tsumi smirked as she saw the attack coming to her knee as she moves her hand to block. She then felt a pain in that arm as she felt a twisting sensation in arm.
“Agh! NO!”
Tsumi looks at the ground as she felt the pain in her arm intensify as she fell to one knee. She looks up at Karasu as Hamada walks over to Tsumi and then kept asking her if she gives up. Tsumi shakes her head as she looks up at Karasu as she was trying to remember if she was put in this position. She smiled as she finally remembered what she was supposed to do. That was when Tsumi rolls forward then backwards but then stops as she rolled up on her shoulders with her legs together and her feet pointing straight up in the air. She looks at Karasu as Hamada was confused at what Tsumi was doing so she didnâ€t go for the count yet. But then that was when Tsumi raises her foot closest to Karasuâ€s chin and tries to kick her underneath her chin to try and escape. If she was to escape Tsumi would shoot back up in a kip up and wait for Karasu to turn around.
