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

[TheManVan]

Reiko managed to get into position, pushing into Candy's hands has become the new focus as she tried to get leverage on her side and tilt Candy's hands towards the mat for maximum effect. Gritting her teeth she was slowly succeeding in her task at hand. Slowly but surely Candy began to bend back and be forced back closer and closer to the mat.

Bending Candy into a bridge, Reiko smiled out as she was about to step over and attempt to mount Candy. But the school girl was determined, a point that continued to shine itself whenever it was granted the chance as Candy began to push up from the bridge. Reiko's eyes widened as she watched Candy push herself back to a standing position.

And then began to flip the switch on her.

"Wh...what? N-no!" she let out as she was bent back into a bridge, the top of her head being forced into the mat as her feet tippy-toed to keep her balance. If she let Candy take her to the mat, there was no telling how long it would take to take back momentum. Growling and gritting her teeth, Reiko gripped her hands tightly into Candy's gloves, taking a deep breath as she showed off her core muscles, attempting to push herself back up to a standing position just like Candy did!

[Devastated]

Candy Cane managed to fought back into the position she wanted to have, standing up right again....it was a struggle but she managed to do it and then she challenged Reiko! Pushing her fellow Rumble Roses alumni back over her own leg and bending the woman backwards and forcing Reiko to bridge backwards into the very same position that Candy Cane had been in.

" Hah! Yes way!" Candy Cane let out in confidence as she figured Reiko had to be rather confused and impressed that the redhead had managed to fight back from that position. Though she herself was the one who ended up being surprised and impressed, feeling Reiko start to push herself up, having just done that the Canadian knew that it took a whole lot of leg muscles to do so....so she was rather impressed with Reiko as she forced them up to their starting position.

Candy Cane clicked her tongue though and glared into Reiko's eyes, before she would show a flash of a grin. Then she'd try the thought that just appeared her in her mind. Attempting to push forward with all her might and sweep her leg backwards and knock Reiko's legs out from under her in an attempt to toss Reiko down onto her back with their hands still locked in and then quickly attempt to mount Reiko and go for a pin!

[TheManVan]

Reiko smiled as she heard the click of the tongue, a definite quirk that Reiko was getting used to as Candy did it when she realized things weren't working out for her at the moment. There they stood, hands still locked to each other and matching each other move for move. Still pushing into Candy, trying to get the Canadian to bend back again, Reiko was sure that she was going to keep Candy down. "Heh...you're just as flexible as you look. Were you... What are those girls called in America? A cheerleader in high school?" she let out, completely interested to see how Candy got this kind of bending ability. Of course, this didn't distract her from attempting to pin Candy's shoulders to the mat.

Except Candy had other ideas.

While attempting to even get a start in pushing Candy, the Canadian got the drop on her, sweeping out her leg from behind as Reiko's eyes widened and let out a cry. Grunting out as she hit the mat, she barely had any time to register what just happened as Candy was quickly on top of her. Her hands were on the mat, Candy was on top looking side to side at both of her hands the ref girl came sliding in.

"ONE!"

Reiko attempted something risky, but she had the reserves to pull it off as she planted her feet into the mat and attempted to bridge once again, trying to lift Candy's weight up with her stomach and tried to lift her shoulders off of the mat!

[Devastated]

Candy Cane would raise an eyebrow as she heard those words from Reiko, " Naturally flexible, Zero. just like my fighting talent. Jealous?" Candy Cane asked as she looked on at Reiko and pushed against the woman. If she was honest, Reiko was practically almost as flexible as the Canadian was. She couldn't help but wonder how come, maybe wrestling training led you to be flexible....and from what Candy Cane knew Reiko had done a whole lot of training to become as good as she was.

The Redhead then swept Reiko down onto the mat and quickly got on top of the woman and pinned her to the mat. She smirked down Reiko as she got the first count and then all of a sudden Reiko pushed herself up into a bridge. " Heh, got you!" Candy Cane let out as she would jump up with her legs and attempt to drive her knees right down into Reiko's abs! Attempting to drive her down into the mat again and resume the pin attempt!

[TheManVan]

Reiko kept a calm, focused breath as she managed to bridge up out of the pin. The strain of holding Candy up by her abs was tough, but Reiko could persevere through. She would've wanted to continue with their banter, but in her current position she didn't have the luxury to do so.

Feeling Candy's weight lifted off of her abs, but felt all of it being driven into her hands, she looked down with her eyes to see Candy lifting herself up and would drive her knees into her stomach. "Paaaaaaaaaah!" Reiko gasped out, almost breaking her bridge but she immediately sucked wind back into her lungs to maintain herself.

Her stomach was burning after that hit, her feet remained planted in the mat as well as the back of her hands, trying to keep her shoulders off and remain in the bridge!

[Devastated]

Candy Cane drove her knees into Reiko's abs but...the woman didn't go down, instead she kept herself upright and now Candy Cane's knees were pressed into the red clad wrestler's abs. The Canadian would look down on Reiko and tilt her head a bit. " Cause that was smart..." She let out as the redhead would press her knees into Reiko's abs a bit harder....

Then attempt to slide her legs back down so she was standing on each side of Reiko with them. Performing a light jump, she'd attempt to drive her rear down into Reiko's abs with a bit of a butt bomb! Looking to force Reiko down onto her back and then roll backwards and off of Reiko so she could build up some distance.

She'd narrow her eyes and wait for the Japanese fighter to start to move up before she'd attempt to take off running towards the woman and attempt to jump up a bit and drive her knee right into Reiko's' sizable chest.

[TheManVan]

Groaning out through her clenched teeth, feeling those hard knees into her stomach making it even harder for the Zero Fighter to breathe, going through great lengths just to sate her pride. Her legs were shaking with continuing to keep Candy up. A bit of pressure was taking off of her stomach when Candy's knees slid off to her sides, allowing Reiko to breathe a bit easier as now it was just Candy's butt sitting on her stomach, much more bearable than the knees.

Or at least she thought so before Candy jumped up again and plowed her butt into her stomach. Reiko's eyes shot open, no longer able to keep her bridge up as her legs fell out and she was driven into the mat. Gasping and coughing for air, Reiko brought her hands to her stomach after Candy had rolled off of her as she instinctively sat up.

Unfortunately through one pained eye, she saw Candy racing towards her and drove her knee right into her chest! "Aaaaah!" she cried out, snapping back into the mat as her hands covered both her chest and stomach, breathing currently being most difficult!

[Devastated]

Candy Cane came running in at top speed and for Candy Cane that was saying something since the redhead was a fast and agile one. She raised her knee and drove it right into Reiko's chest, slamming the woman down onto her back and drive the air out of her lungs. She would stagger her way up to her knees after she had hit her in her chest.

" Told ya." Candy Cane let out as she would quickly try and drop herself down on top of Reiko. Attempting to reach out for that right leg of the Japanese fighter, trying to hook it and go for a quick pin as she'd press her upper-back against Reiko's chest and bring her free arm to press her forearm against Reiko's cheek and push the red clad wrestler's face down against the mat.

" Count!" Candy Cane shouted out to the ref-girl as she would slide in next to them.

[TheManVan]

Reiko coughed out as she was curled on the mat in pain as Candy was bringing the hurt to her, leaving her in prime positioning for Candy to go for a pin, now while she was still reeling from the string of moves. Feeling Candy lay on top of her, back first as her leg was hooked while her face was pushed into the mat with the forearm to the face.

The ref girl got into position, but Reiko wasn't going to rest for even a second. The wrestler instinct in her forced her to push on the back of Candy's head while shooting up her arm the second that the ref girl's hand touched the mat.

"ONE-"

"Not...so fast!" she gasped out, laying on her side as she rolled over on to her stomach, pushing on the mat to get to her fours as she made her way to her feet, a little gingerly as a hand quickly shot to her stomach.

[Devastated]

Candy Cane would smirk as she pinned Reiko down on the mat and went for an early pin, if she could pick up a win right now that would just be awesome. Though, it didn't seem as if Reiko was going to allow her as practically the instant the referee called out the first count Reiko broke out of the pin and pushed Candy Cane off of her, forcing the Canadian to sit up and turn around onto her knees facing Reiko.

"You should have stayed down." Candy Cane said in her usual cocky tone...not really trying to sound condescending or anything...but with a more boastful manner of speech.

She'd look on at Reiko as the girl started to push herself up to all fours. Candy Cane would move up to her feet and wait for Reiko to get up. Both arms raised up into the air and ready to throw down Candy Cane would only give Reiko enough of a chance to get to her feet. That was all the sportsmanship the redhead was going to give for now as she'd step up towards Reiko instead. Attempting to throw a hard right fist aimed right for that short haired head of the Japanese wrestler.

If she was quick enough the redhead would try and follow it up with a quick left hook to Reiko's side and hit her right side ribs hard to try and stagger the woman.
