Kirie Tsukada vs Sayo Matsudo - Delightful Deceit

[PuroQueen]

Sayo didn't often get the chance to pull off a power move, as she was on the lighter side of her weight class and relied more on submissions and grapples. But now that she was pitted against a scrawny little foe, she saw a whole new realm of possibilities. She felt powerful with Kirie in her grasp, as if every inch of her opponent's body was in her control. And despite both girls struggling to stay on their feet after exchanging blows to their bellies, Sayo still held the advantage: she was taller, stronger, and had her opponent right where she wanted her.

Lifting Kirie up was a relative breeze. Sayo held her breath and heaved the pinkette into the sky, bringing her body into a classic setup for a powerbomb. She could already envision the devastation, the tantalizing destruction of Kirie's small frame crashing down into the mat and shattering into a million tiny little pieces upon impact...! Well, Sayo wasn't nearly that powerful, but even the cynical goth wasn't immune to the occasional daydream. As she held Kirie up, Sayo savored the moment, relishing in the satisfaction of her impending move. But then, as Sayo was about to send Kirie hurtling to the mat, something unexpected happened. Kirie clamped her legs around Sayo's head at the peak of the powerbomb, clinging on for dear life in a desperate attempt to avoid the painful fall. The effects were immediate and destabilizing. Sayo had no time to change course as she sent her opponent pummeling downward, only to find that Kirie's legs were dragging her down for the ride too!

What was supposed to be a one-way ticket to pain town suddenly became a trip for two. The maneuver quickly transformed into an unsightly hybrid of a headscissor-takedown-powerbomb! Kirie was the first to hit the mat, no doubt absorbing the worst of the blow, but soon after, Sayo collided face first with the canvas right between her opponent's legs. Her mind was still busy processing the sudden development, leaving little room to even muster a scream! Only a loud smack could be heard as they crashed into the ring, followed soon after by the roar of the crowds, and the steady stream of pained groans and cries from the two combatants.

"Uuuurgh! You little..." Sayo didn't have the breath to spare to finish her insult. Instead, she slowly made her way to her hands and knees, shaking her head in a feeble effort to regain her bearings. But then, as the fog began to lift, she saw Kirie sprawled out in front of her, vulnerable and exposed. Despite the pain and disorientation, Sayo couldn't let the opportunity to salvage her failed attack slip away. The Serpentine's raging spirit revved back to life as she crawled directly over Kirie, scooping up one of the girl's slender legs in the process. She hooked her hand directly underneath Kirie's knee, prying it upwards of the mat and leaving the limb to dangle in the air. All her weight then flopped down on Kirie's upper half, making it clear that Sayo was going for an early pinfall!

Kirie might have been smaller, and that fact alone had given Sayo the advantage, allowing her to set up hard-hitting manuevers she wouldn't be able to pull off against opponents of her own weight class. But Kirie was a well-practiced submission specialist. Her greatest strength came from her knowledge of holds and how she could manipulate her opponents' bodies to cause them as much pain as possible - and no matter how big her opponents were, that had a way of evening the odds! Now, she would be able to put that to the test. As Sayo hoisted her up higher onto her shoulders, lining things up to send the pink-haired girl crashing down with a powerbomb, Kirie could feel a shudder run through her body from head to toe in anticipation of the impact - but she also found it in her to squeeze her legs together, scissoring Sayo's head in between her thighs! It was somewhat of a mixture between a bona fide counter, and a protective impulse to hold herself in place when she felt herself about to come crashing down. But whatever the case might have been, Kirie still bore out some force against her opponent's temples - and even when she came crashing onto her back with enough of an impact to knock the air out of her lungs, sending her coughing and buckling as she released her hold, Kirie could at least be assured that Sayo herself hadn't come away unscathed!

Still, it was undoubtably Kirie who had come away the worst for wear. As she sat back up, she teetered dizzily and uneasily back and forth; her eyes were glazed over, and a low groan escaped from her mouth. Her head was still spinning; she rubbed at her temples to try and dull the aching sensation. And her vision was wobbling - but through the haze of blurred after-images, she could see that Sayo was about to close in on her for the pin! At once, Kirie took in a gasp, and everything suddenly seemed just a little clearer. Her self-preservation instincts had come flooding back to her. She might have still been sore, but she couldn't let Sayo get away with this!

"One!!"

Sayo had Kirie's leg hoisted straight up in the air, keeping her shoulders down. But just after the first count came, she stirred - tensing her muscles to draw on the strength she needed, she bucked up with her back and hips, looking to kick free of the pin! Hopefully, the force with which she made her escape would be enough to knock Sayo off-balance, because she needed to scramble to safety as quick as she could - and if given the chance, she'd make a mad dash for the ropes, crawling backwards on her hands in order to get a handhold she could pull herself up with.

Granted, a hastily applied pin wouldn't have been the smoothest way to earn a win, nor the most satisfying. After all, she had plenty of things she still wanted to do to this little brat. But if Kirie was too weak to handle a simple slam to the mat, then rolling her up and being done with it would at least provide a fitting end as far as Sayo was concerned. At least that way she could move on to wrestlers actually worth her time. But Kirie quickly proved herself more than capable in that regard, thrusting her hips upwards and breaking off the pin before the referee could even start the second count.

Sayo was bucked to the side, her body unceremoniously tossed to the mat. She slowly picked herself up again into a seated position, blowing away the strands of black and purple hair that veiled her face. "Whatever! I wasn't finished with you yet anyways," Sayo snapped. But her opponent wasn't within range anymore, but instead already retreating towards the ropes. "Where are you going, princess?" she spat, making a steady rise to her feet before approaching her opponent with swift and menacing steps. She caught up to Kirie just as the girl was attempting to hoist herself up using the ropes.

"Let me give you a hand with that," the taller woman quipped. Sayo reached down and grabbed onto Kirie's arm, yanking it away from the bottom rung and dragging the girl up on her terms. Her other hand then shoved into Kirie's chest, trying to drive the woman's body into the ropes so that they stretched all the way past the edge, straining them like coils in a spring. Once sufficient tension had been built up in the cables, Sayo would attempt to irish whip her opponent to the other side of the ring, using the ropes like a slingshot to send her opponent hurtling with additional speed.

But Sayo wasn't done yet. If she had succeeded in giving her opponent a running start, she would give chase to the smaller girl with her arm outstretched. Timing was everything, and she waited until the exact moment Kirie rebounded off the ropes and back in her direction before reeling her arm back. With a fierce yell, she aimed to send a mean lariat right into Kirie's chest, hoping to knock the smaller woman back down to the mat!

Kirie was panting for breath, trying to shake the cobwebs out of her head enough to launch herself back into the action. That had definitely been a closer call than she would've liked. Sayo, it seemed, was more than just a big, dumb, stuck-up bully - she knew she had the size advantage in this match, and she wasn't afraid to use it. That was something that would force Kirie to stay on her toes. She'd just come too close to being counted out, especially for this early in the match, and she wasn't about to let that happen again. Looking back at where Sayo had landed, her eyes narrowed in a glare, and she hissed under her breath as her face twisted into a snarl. Just looking at her opponent was enough to remind her of how much she hated her - not just for nearly dealing her an unceremonious and humiliating defeat, but for mocking her and treating her like she was insignificant, and especially for trying to poison her boyfriend's sweet little mind. She knew Sayo would have to be punished for this.

Right now, though, Kirie wasn't in the best place to fight back. The landing she'd taken, even if she tried her best to mitigate the damages, had still left her rattled, and she would need to catch her breath before she was ready to come back swinging. Dazed as she was, with the world still spinning around her, she wouldn't even be able to get back up until she crawled to the ropes on her hands and knees. But that slowed her down. And when it did, it also made it that much easier for Sayo to catch up to her.

Just as she grabbed the bottom rope, she felt Sayo grab onto her arm - and with a gasp, she was yanked up to her feet, spinnng around to face her foe. Just as soon as their eyes locked, Kirie's narrowed into a hateful glare. "Let GO of me!" she hissed, trying to pull her hand back toward herself and out of Sayo's grasp. "I don't want your whore germs on me!" She knew how much Sayo had been stung by her insults beforehand, and that just encouraged her to double down on them now. But it would, no doubt, only make Sayo angrier. And when she proceeded to shove Kirie back against the ropes, the lightweight could feel that anger.

Kirie yelped as she fell back off her center of balance, the ropes stretching against her weight. And she was soon sprung back with a slingshot, sending her running screaming across the ring, her arms flailing out in front of her to try and help stabilize her footing. Kirie was moving too quickly to even keep track of where she was heading - and the fact that she was still shaking off the dizziness of her prior landing wasn't doing her any favors either, leaving her lagging a step behind in reaction time. She could barely tell what was happening to her! The next thing she knew, she had bounced off the ropes - and sprung right back toward Sayo, who was waiting for her with a lariat! The pink-haired girl was upended, her feet kicking off the ground as she fell straight back into the mat with a thud! From there, she could only stare up at the lights, groaning under her breath in a daze...
