Blue on Blue Action (Natasha vs Tsumi)

Natasha had been working hard to get her team as many pendants as possible during the Temple Games, not out of some desire to see Taylor get anything but more just to represent the Barracudas well against the other non blue teams. She was also using this time as a sort of coming out party for herself, taking on all kinds of opponents so that fairly soon she felt like everyone would know her name, just looking for a bit of recognition of her abilities.

Standing in the very gym which had sort of become the official headquarters for the Blue Barracudas Natasha was giving the punching bag a good beating, not boxing but instead switching between various strikes and kicks from a variety of martial arts. She only knew a few moves from most forms of martial arts but when put together she felt like she had a good move set, doing her best to step around the bag as she threw her punches and kicks to keep it from swinging around. Wearing a pair of tight black shorts and a just as tight blue bikini top it was easy to see she had worked up a good sweat, her body glistening under the gym lights as beads of sweat dripped from her body onto the mat.

Natasha had yet to see any of the other blue team members besides Sarah since the team meeting, remembering how badly that had gone she was almost glad about that. Then again she didn't have any trouble with anyone but Taylor and would not have minded seeing one of the other two again.

Tsumi sighs as she shakes her head as her heels clicked as she came towards the gym as she shakes her head. She had one night to train for the match against Angel which she didnâ€t mind but she was more upset with what had happened in the tag match. She wasnâ€t utilized as much as she wanted, her and Taylor barely worked together as much as she wanted. When she entered the gym she was [url=http://www.deviantart.com/download/326482938/title_shot_commission_for_kite2014_by_laffinityl-d5ednui.jpg:1hybn1b2]dressed[/url:1hybn1b2] as if she just got done with a press conference which actually she was actually coming back from an interview with someone for their site. Once again they talked about how Tsumi likes it here in AFW and how she is getting along with others. She talked about how she has actually issued a challenge to Cecilia in a hardcore match and her opportunity to wrestle with the once first ranked Angel. Tsumi sighs as she shakes her head and drops her workout back on the floor.

As she did she heard the kicks coming over from the punching bag. She made her way over to them and then saw Natasha kicking away at the bag. She smiles remembering Natasha from the meeting, she did seem nice but all Taylor did was be rude to her. Tsumi sighs as she walks over to Natasha and says, “Nice kicks, your form is pretty good.” Tsumi smiles towards Natasha as she then takes off her glasses and looked at the bag. “Mind if I kick it once? I need to get some of this frustration out on something. Iâ€ve been asked left and right what is planned for the little sister of such a great legend...Among other things as well.” Tsumi sighed as she shakes her head as she got into a fighting stance.

Natasha had just been considering taking a short break when she heard the door to the gym open up, lowering her leg back down after her last kick to the bag before glancing around the side of it to see her team mate Tsumi standing there. The woman looked like she had come for a business meeting instead of working out, but seeing the bag on the floor she guessed the girl was going to change first. She was just about to wave over to the girl when Tsumi began heading her way, giving the bag one last solid kick before she walked around the bag to properly greet the woman.

Reaching out to shake the woman's hand she flashed her a smile, recalling meeting her when their whole team had been called together but she had never really gotten a chance to get to know her. "Hey there Tsumi, its good to see you again. Thanks, I've been working working hard on them lately so its nice to hear they look good." Natasha said while thinking to herself that while the glasses look was certainly cute Tsumi looked much sexier with them off. "Oh go right ahead I needed a short break anyway, though who is your sister? I didn't realize you had a famous sibling." Natasha replied with a curious look in her eyes, stepping back to give Tsumi her shot at the bag.

Tsumi sighs as she looks at Natasha and smiled as well. She bowed and then took her hand and shook it as she smiles a bit and looks at the bag. Tsumi takes off her heels as she looks at the bag and soon glared at it as she breaths in and as she yells out, “YAH!” She lifts her leg up and swung it hard at the bag, as it connected it made a loud crack was heard. The Yoshida sisters are known for having the hardest kicks in Japan. Soon Tsumi started repeatedly kicking it switching which leg was making contact with the bag each time. Tsumi looks at the bag as she says, “Tsukiko Yoshida…Or as people called her, The Black flash. As in her kicks are so quick when you see them all you can see are the black blur because of her boots.” Tsumi kicks the bag quicker and harder as she then stopped and looked at Natasha. “I should change out of this before I ruin my stockings.”

Natasha had figured she would like this girl back when they had met briefly at the team meeting, Tsumi's polite attitude as she first bowed and then returned her handshake only confirmed her suspicions about the woman. The sudden yell from Tsumi startled Natasha, the french woman jumping back a step as her team mate struck the bag with a powerful kick which echoed throughout the gym, more kicks following as Tsumi got into a rhythm with Natasha just standing there watching in slight awe at how good her kicks were. She listened to Tsumia talk about her sister with great interest, thinking to herself that she had heard the name somewhere before but couldn't quite place it, but judging from the story Tsumi must be a lot like her.

"I think you'd ruin more than that if you came here to work out and kept that on Tsumi, but stockings are too important to lose right?" Natasha said with a bright smile, lightly giggling at her little joke before she leaned down to pick up the bag Tsumi had brought with her, handing it to the girl with a nod of her head. "Here you go Tsumi."

Tsumi sighs as she shakes her head after meeting with the bag over and over again with her kicks. She looks at Natasha and smiles as she says, “Thanks. But yeah…Been stressed…Had to team with our leader…She barely even let me in the match…” Tsumi walks to the locker room and enters after taking her bag from Natasha. She changed into a black sports bra and black booty shorts with wrestling boots on like the ones she wore for matches. She sighs as she exits and then says, “The thing that annoyed me is I had to change my hair color to blue to show team spirit and I hardly got in to do anything in the match…So guess what I did after our match which we lost by the way.” Tsumi smirked as she looks at Natasha with a grin and started to stretch out.

The bag was really beginning to sway after so many kicks from Tsumi, Natasha having to brace it from the other side to keep it from swinging around as her team mate took out her frustrations on it. When she heard about the match Natasha completely understood why Tsumi would feel this way, Taylor she had learned was not an easy person to get along with and in fact she had been glad at the time the captain hadn't asked her to team up with, though she felt bad that Tsumi had been the one to take that spot. As Tsumi went into the locker room Natasha decided to give the bag a few hits of her own, transitioning from classic karate chops to boxing jabs and even a kick that had to be from some sort of chinese kempo, doing so until the woman emerged from the locker room in quite the alluring outfit."I like you with blue hair, especially in that outfit Tsumi. I would guess you decided to ditch Taylor and challenged whoever it was you faced on your own, am I right?"

“Thing that stinks is she has put under my name basically, a spoiled, disrespectful, self-absorbed brat. So says the girl who thought she could handle the match all by herself. I think she needs to look in the mirror.” Tsumi said shaking her head as she then looks Natasha with a smile as she heard her comment about her hair. “Sorry blue is not really my color. Works for you.” She said as she nods and smiles as she looks around and says, “Yep I challenged the both of them but only one took my offer, Angel. Their leader.” Tsumi smirked as she starts stretching out as she takes out the vile she had in bag and sticks it in her boot. This one didnâ€t have the concoction but she carried it around for one reason and one reason only, so when she trains she can have the feel for it. “So yeah its going to be a big match. If I end up winning it sure in hell will make me happy.” She said with a smile on her face as she enters the ring that they had in their gym. “So yeah I need to train for that match. Itâ€s a submission match.”

There was little doubt in Natasha's mind that Tsumi was telling the truth about her tag match with Taylor, from her brief time with their captain she had gotten the exact same feeling about the woman that Tsumi was telling her now, if there was someone who would rather show off than tag her partner in to win a match it was Taylor. "That sounds like Angel, from what I hear she isn't the type to let a challenge go unanswered. To be honest I wish she had been our leader, maybe then we would have won that match instead." Natasha said before noticing a vile Tsumi pulled from her bag, raising an eyebrow in curiosity wondering just what was inside it and why she would need it while training. She was about to ask when the woman mentioned her match was to be a submission one, something Natasha knew quite a bit about and a match she could certainly help Tsumi prepare for. "A submission match huh, well if thats the case then you're in luck, submissions are kind of my specialty."

Tsumi looks at Taylor as she nods and says, “I think its an honor I get to wrestle with her. I already know Iâ€m the underdog in this thing. Havenâ€t really been in my first match. Didnâ€t really get to show what I was capable of. I already know I canâ€t go high flyer against her unless I know for a fact she is down. Which means I can only keep focusing on strikes and technical take downs…Think of it like those MMA fights you see.” Tsumi sighs as she shakes her head as she stood up and looks at the ring as she then smiles at Natasha as she cracks her knuckles and says, “Alright then. A sparing session then. You vs me. Oh I saw you eying the vial. No worries, its empty.”
