Helloooooo, Ladies!

The lights began to dim in the AFW arena. Over the loudspeakers, [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sqlu-B1E510:2wbtb5y4]One Long River by the Yoshida Bros.[/url:2wbtb5y4] began to play. As it began, nothing else happened and after about 30 seconds, [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bm0kOhLXQ2U:2wbtb5y4]the song changed.[/url:2wbtb5y4].

With the change of song, out came Akashi Tanikaze with her fist raised high and a big grin on her face. She was dressed in a loose fitting dark green kimono and black hakama pants. On her feet were wooden geta sandals. It was the most she had probably ever wore in front of an arena audience. As she strode down the ramp, she slapped hands, nodded her head and generally embraced the cheering crowd.

She slid into the ring and grabbed a mic and began to slowly pace around the middle of the ring. "Domo and hello, everyone!" She began. "It's great to see you all! I don't have a match tonight so I hope you don't mind if I come down to say a few words!" The crowd cheered, Akashi smiled. "It must be unusual to see me in anything but a mawashi, eh?" She said as she tugged at the edge of her Kimono and exposed a little more of her already overflowing cleavage.

"I have a lot of goals in life." She said with a little more serious tone. "So I've come down to say something important. I'm voluntarily removing myself from the Friction Rankings."

Confusion from the crowd stifled them for only a moment before boos of disapproval rained down upon Akashi. The Sumo grinned. "No no, hold on a second!Please, at least hear my reasoning!" She pleaded, unable to hold a chuckle despite the boos. "My goals include being remembered as the undisputed BEST wrestler this company has ever seen!"

The crowd erupted. Akasshi smiled once more. "But, it's such a lofty goal, there are so many greats that have already passed through and a lot of girls who could do that right now if they worked hard. So to fulfill my ultimate goal, I need to set smaller ones. With that in mind, my goal is to become the first ever Triple Crown champ here in AFW! I've won the one I think is the hardest, the Friction Title and now I have to get two more. It seems like a steep mountain, but I know I can achieve it. I';; be having a title match for the Hentai belt at Summer Splash against Natalia." The crowd swooned at the thought. "And she's definitely a tough opponent int he bedroom!"

Akashi blushed deeply but tried to continue. "SO I am showing her right now how serious I am! I want to concentrate everything I have on that match. I don't need the distraction of the rankings. That belt WILL BE MINE!" She raised her hand in the air.

"The other thing..." She said quietly. "Is I want Kamikaze to win the tag tittles." She smiled and passed the mic to her right hand. She then lifted up her left arm and her sleeve fell, revealing a bracelet that had a little charm of the Kanji for Kami on it. "For her birthday, my tag partner, my friend, my Imouto Taylor Parker, I got her a bracelet with the word "wind" on it. In our tag team, she is the unstoppable gale that blows away our opponents! It was always meant to be part of a set. It was a necklace, you see, that I had turned into two bracelets."

Aashi continued. "But she got a tattoo as well... and it surprised me." Akashi rolled her shoulder and let part of her Kimono fall revealing her tattoo that said "Ronin" on it. "I got this one night after a long night of drinking with a girl I call Sarah-san. You know her as Sarah Gatt, she's the current champ and ... a friend of mine..." She was almost hesitant to say the words aloud. "It says Ronin because I feel like a masterless samurai sometimes. Sumo was my whole life and it rejected me. It turned me away just because I am a girl. I ended up here, not knowing anyone. Barely knowing anything about wrestling. Sara was my first opponent and she taught me a lot. I still believe we're kindred spirits, even if everyone may think that is crazy. Most of all, Sarah-san." She chuckled softly.

"But I was able to find someone very special here and learned to become even better because of her. She's my life, she's my rock. Her name is Mina Oates." Akashi let out a sigh. "Mina-chan is the best thing that's ever happened to me but even so, and this may seem odd to you, but I still had some issues making real friends. Then, along came Taylor Parker. I think she was known as Taylor Sparks back then still, but shhhh, don't tell anyone that." Akashi grinned.

"She was a brash brat whothought it would be a good idea to fight me one night while we were drinking." Akashi turned her head and smiled. "I don't know how we ended up becoming friends from that. I'll leave that to the Kami and thank them for it. But that brat grew up and became a fine young woman... right before my eyes! I grew up in a family of men. I have four brothers and am the youngest of the bunch. Taylor-san... has become the sisterI never had. I can't even explain it."

Akashi then dropped the Kimono from her other shoulder and revealed a tomoe tattooed on it:

"I'm not going to get "Onee-chan" tattoed on me but this tomoe represents much for me and after a lot of thought, I feel as though it is perfect." Akashi couldn't help but finally blubber and tear up a bit. "Imouto-chan, if you're watching, Onee-chan is so proud of you, Domo arigatou gozaimasu." Aasi bowed deeply and pulled her Kimono up.

"So, there you have it. I'll stop being sappy now. That's pretty much it. "Natalia-chan, Prepare to get fucked this Summer Splash!" She said and pointed at the camera.

"And seriously, if you're listening to this, management, find us some respectable tag teams to face! This division is awful! We want a few good matches under our belt before we take down Eclipse!"

And there's one other thing I mentioned... I DEFINITELY plan on winning that Friction Title again and when I do, I'm going to work my way back up the rankings, beating all those bitches again!"

Akashi tossed the mic as [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1fTbDJiyrM:2wbtb5y4]her usual music.[/url:2wbtb5y4] began to play. She absorbed the cheers from the crowd and grinned widely as she did.

Damn her, Taylor wasn't going to cry. She appeared quietly at the top of the entrance ramp, waiting out of the lights while Akashi kept talking. She had on her Chuck Taylors and jeans, and a tight black t-shirt that read "TAYLOR PARKER IS OVERRATED" across the front, with a crude drawing of a girl in a skirt with blue pigtails and a derpy expression.

She watched Akashi, positively glowing, until she was done and taking time to bask in the crowd's affection, and then she was off. She burst into a sprint down the ramp like she'd been fired from a canon and was all the way to the ring before anyone even realized who she was. She slid quickly under the bottom rope, ran past Akashi behind her back, springboarded off the top rope and came back at the sumo in a high cross body block.

After crashing to the mat, she wrapped her arms around her big sister and gave her a squeeze. "Thanks Kashi. Did you have to follow that up with talking about how you're going to fuck Natalia's brains out? Jeez." She sprung to her feet, perky and energetic and grinning, and held out a hand to help up her much larger partner.

Akashi was about as oblivious as most of the crowd was to Taylor's machinations. It wasn't until an over abundance of cheering from the crowd, which even made Akashi think twice about why they were cheering. She turned just in time to be knocked onto her back by the blurry blue haired girl. She frowned and groaned before she felt the smaller hands wrap around her. She instantly recognized it was Taylor and grinned, laughing.

She watched as Taylor got up and then laughed. "Of course!" She declared proudly. She then took Taylor's hand and hopped up bear hugging Taylor tightly and hugging her, nuzzling the girl's neck before setting her down and raising both their hands in the air as Smokin' Billy began to play again.

"Let's just hope there are enough girls out there to let us actually climb up that later, right?" She said and winked at Taylor as the crowd cheered.

Taylor was almost pulled off of her feet when Akashi got up, and she stumbled right into Akashi's bear hug. She squirmed and struggled and strained to keep Akashi's powerful arms from collapsing her lungs and shattering her spine.

"Kh... you're... you're killing... you're killing me..." She squeaked. It was actually a pretty common thing. She gasped in a huge breath when Akashi finally put her down, and held onto to Akashi to stay on her feet. She licked her palm and gave Akashi a stinging smack on the exposed skin of her arm.

She gave the crowd a grin, put a hand on her hips and cocked them to one side in a provocative pose for the crowd, and then threw her fists in the air. "Screw that, Kashi, that just means we're already at the top. Let them come to us."

"Here," She said, and turned her back to Akashi, bending her knees a bit. "I'll give you a piggy back ride backstage." She grinned. She noticed a nearby camera somewhere in front of her and waved to it. "Hi Johnny!" She grinned, and blew a kiss.

Akashi whined a bit when she was smacked but then grinned. It certainly wasn't going to stop Akashi from bearhugging Taylor to death in the future, as the big Sumo girl's affection was as mighty as her ring prowess.

She nodded to Taylor's words. "Ysoh! Next stop, Eclipse!" She said and pumped her fist. She then looked coyly at Taylor as she offered a ride and thumped forward on her beefy legs to practically jump onto Taylor's back. She pressed herself into Taylor's back, trying her hardest to make them collapse into a pile. She say the camera and blew a kiss as well.

"Johnny-kun, I'll take good care of her, don't worry!" She said with a mischievous grin and buried her face into the back of Taylor's neck to nuzzle it while her hands tried desperately to get a handful each of Taylor's perky boobs.

The whole thing seemed like a disaster waiting to happen but Akashi could barely even contain her girlish giggling, just happy that Taylor came down.

Taylor could probably have got at least a short distance with Akashi on her back, had she been gentle about climbing aboard. Taylor buckled immediately under the shock, but she struggled valiantly, managing to take two short steps before collapsing on the mat with a final, defeated noise.

"Woo..." She said from somewhere beneath the mass of sumo on her back. She was instantly aware of the position of Akashi's hands, and of their intended destination, and she reacted with blinding speed and unbridled fury, clamping her arms against her sides to arrest Akashi's progress while she seized one of her arms, opened wide, and bit down on Akashi's hand way harder than would be conventionally considered to be playful.

"NHYRHHMHBS!" Was all that came out when she tried to yell with a mouthful. The crowd laughed as the formidable tag team's display quickly degraded into adolescent horseplay.

Akashi frowned visibly when Taylor prevented her from getting to the precious boob. She still laughed though until she felt Taylor bite her.

"Gyaaah!" She said and pulled her head back and then thunked it into the back of Taylor's head, hoping the head butt would make her let go, resigned to abandon her quest for one of the most untouched chests in the AFW. Because it was off limits, it only made her want it more but beside that, Akashi at this point mostly fought so valiantly for them just to make Taylor squirm. If the girl handed them over willingly, Akashi might not even know what to do. Well, she might be flabbergasted for a few seconds at least.

She finally stood up and pulled Taylor up by the scruff to a standing position and bent over. "Ok, Imouto-chan, Let's do this the right way!" She said and offered Taylor her back so that she could do the piggying.

"Ow! Dammit!" Taylor cried out and gave up her defenses to rub the back of her head. She kicked her legs as Akashi yanked her up to her feet.

"Hey! Careful, don't rip my shirt, I just made it. I thought maybe Natalia could sell it on her website." She grinned.

She narrowed her eyes at Akashi and her offer, and then pulled back one foot and gave Akashi a sharp kick to the shin before leaping on her, wrapping her hands behind her head and finding footholds on her hips. She climbed around the sumo until she settled in position on her back.

"Now move!" She commanded, pointing up at the exit, almost completely oblivious to the crowd.

"Natalia-chan has a website?" Akashi asked. "Do I have a website?!" She asked. She did but she had no idea about it she just vaguely remembered a meeting with the management and some geeky guy and signing something. She really should pay more attention to that sort of thing.

"Yosh!" She said and when Taylor was on her back, stepped through the ropes and charged like a bull up the ramp and into the backstage area, away from the cheering crowd.
