Rumble of (Former) Roses! (Reiko Hinomoto vs. Candy Cane)

[TheManVan]

Reiko heaved for air, her breasts moving up and down with each heavy breath she took. Sweat rolled off of her body and stained the mat as she felt Candy cling to her, keeping her down for the pin as the ref girl raised her hand for the final time. Reiko wanted to kick out, or even roll a shoulder off of the mat. But no such strength came to her.

"THREE!"

The bell shortly rang afterwards, the ref girl deciding on a winner of the match as Reiko sank into the mat. Disappointed that she lost, she was however not upset that she lost. Candy had beaten her fairly, having just been better. Reiko was not salty about that, in fact she was thrilled. Now there being another goal she had, overcoming Candy for the next time they would meet. "You're.....right...." she gasped out, "You are....pretty damn amazing..."

[Devastated]

Candy Cane would nod her head when the bell finally rang and her victory was assured. She took her hold of Reiko's leg and used it to fling Reiko off of her and down onto the mat on her back, as Candy Cane would slump back down onto the mat herself, arms and legs spread out as she would pant for air herself. Her generous bust rising with each heaving breath that she took, panting for air.

" Hah...you damn right I am...." Candy Cane let out as she would remain down for a few seconds, before started to push herself up to a seated position and then up to her knees. Shaking her head a bit as she would pant for air still, sweat dripping down from her face and down onto the mat. " You..." Candy Cane started, about to give Reiko a compliment herself but she stopped and shook her head.

In a slightly lighthearted tone she would instead say. " You're...so freakin' lame...praising the person who just kicked your ass..."

[TheManVan]

Reiko was rolled over on to the mat, panting as her breasts were forced into the mat. Forcing herself to roll over as much as she could with her drained body as she let out a little laugh. "Ha ha...Yeah. I'm little lame....figured I would...be a bit better since the last time we met..." she let out in a chuckle, just went to show how much harder she had to train to get better.

"Better...watch out Candy....next time I'm gonna....be the one who wins!" she let out, pointing at Candy as she laid on her back next to the Canadian with the biggest smile she could muster. She was so thrilled to have someone else to call a rival, to help push her to be better just by existing! She would drop her hand back down to the mat, getting up was going to be a problem as she tried to roll on to her side to get to her fours. But no such luck.

She would let out an embarrassed chuckle as she looked back at Candy with a sheepish smile. "Hey...could you help me to the back? Used up a bit more than I thought..."

[Devastated]

Candy Cane would shake her head a bit as she heard Reiko let out those words. She would shrug her shoulders and then push herself up to her feet and lean forward with her hands on her knees. " Oh bring it on, I'll take you down even easier next time." Candy Cane let out as she would finally get herself up to a full stand as she watched Reiko roll over to her side and try to get herself up to her hands and knees.

Hearing that chuckle and seeing that sheepish smile as her rival looked on at her and asked her for help like that....cause Candy Cane to blush a slight bit. She'd shake her head and groan out. " Wow....I don't think you can just say you're a little lame anymore." Candy Cane let out, chuckling a bit herself as she would lean down and try and help Reiko up to her feet. As tired as she was it was a fair bit of a struggle...but finally getting Reiko up to her feet and looping that arm of Reiko over her neck and shoulders to help carry and support the Zero fighter.

" Zero might just be the perfect nickname for you...." Candy Cane let out as she would look over at Reiko as their faces would be so close at the moment, a fain blush appearing on Candy Cane's face yet again as she'd then start to try and help her out of the ring. " T-this isn't exactly going to help you seem like a badass or even make people want to bet on you the next time we fight. Since I beat you to the point of you not being able to walk out on your own...."

[TheManVan]

Reiko only continued to laugh out as Candy commented on her predicament, looping her arm around her neck and being assisted out of the ring. "What are you talking about? I did this to myself." she let out, joking about her this situation, "You only helped a little. Next time I'm going to do my best to make sure it's the other way around." showing off a humorous side of her that she normally didn't let out during the course of a match.

Leaning on Candy as she tried her best not to dead weight on her rival, they both had gone all out on each other as she laughed at the nickname. "Zero huh...Well your nickname is...." she started out before letting out a sigh, "...I can't think of anything." she let out with another laugh, "Better watch yourself, this Zero is going to turn into Hero before you know it."

[Devastated]

Candy Cane would shake her head as she heard Reiko go on and on, it felt really weird being around someone so upbeat and cheerful after a loss like that. Candy Cane would have been rather pissed but Reiko was all smiles and cheers, even making jokes. Being rather overtly friendly as well...it did kinda make the Canadian feel a bit odd and her heart to beat a bit faster.

" Keep telling yourself that, next time I don't think I'll even let you be conscious after the beating I'm gonna give you." Candy Cane let out as she would pull Reiko up a bit further, yanking on that arm to keep them up close and Reiko up on her feet and keeping pace with the redhead. "You're gonna be a hero huh? I'd like to see that. Until you beat me you're gonna stay a Zero though....so that means you'll be a Zero forever!" Candy Cane let out as she guided them up the ramp and out of the arena. The crowd weirdly cheering loudly for this show of sportsmanship, it wasn't uncommon for Candy Cane to get cheers, even when she was playing it dirty she could get cheers and jeers, though now it was just....a weirdly just a large and loud amount of unanimous approval from the crowd.
