Continued from here

It was a more explosive night than Sakura had been expecting initially. After all it was hard to expect someone calling you out and demanding a match on the spot, though it really shouldn't be given her career choice as a pro wrestler. It just came with the territory, even if it wasn't very easy to swallow and she wasn't about to back down when called out in such a way. If Lauren wanted a match.. Sakura would give it to her.

Already in the ring and with the terms being accepted all either woman needed to wait on was the arrival of a referee down to the ring to make things official for them. Well that and the announcer as his voice came through the speakers, first going over the rules of the special bout before finally getting to the introduction for each of them, starting with Sakura who was ushered back to her corner to wait for the bell.

"Introducing first from Shimane, Japan... The Leader of Sweet Diva... The one, the only... Sakuraaaaaa Hagiwaraaaaaaa!"

As they went over her name Sakura would take a step forward from the corner, raising her hands up in the process as the crowd cheered loudly in response, showing that in spite of her recent run of bad luck Sakura was still very well favored in the fans eyes... Unlike her opponent as the announcer went to her...

Lauren heard the crowd cheer for Sakura and she stood with her hands on her hips listening to the crowd roar. When she was announced though it was a bit of a different story. "In this corner from Cleveland, OH.... standing at 5'7'' weighing 193 pounds.... Lauren Fredericks!"

Lauren stepped out with a fist raised in the air as the crowd cheered her a little but they also booed her quite a bit too! She shook her head and waved her hands dismissively at them and stepped to the center of the ring. "I don't care anymore if they like me or dislike me. I know I get booed no matter how clean or how hard I wrestle because of how I look. Fine. Fine! Come on Sakura, lets see what ya got and even after I slam you silly they will love you and hate me anyway..." Lauren said stepping to the middle of the ring. She held her hands out looking like she wanted to kick things off with a grapple at the opening bell!

Sakura glared at Lauren all the way through the announcement of her name, it was rare Sakura felt this strongly about someone in particular, but she didn't care. Lauren and her delusion getting to be too much for the idol and if it took beating the woman twice for her to shut up than that's exactly what she would do!

Finally the bell would ring, officially starting the match between the two and prompting Sakura to rush forward. Judging by Lauren's hands being up it seemed like she wanted a grapple, but Sakura wasn't going to allow the woman that. Instead Sakura was looking to throw her whole body into Lauren's in a effort to take the woman down to the mat and if successful start laying into her with slaps and punches aimed for her face!

Lauren saw Sakura rush and she braced herself just in time as Sakura crashed into her! Lauren stumbled but stayed up, shaking her head in defiance! "No way Sakura! Lets see how ya remember this!" Lauren said as she grabbed Sakura and lift her up, before immediately slamming her down in the center of the ring as hard as she could to start the match off on a positive note!

Sakura was starting this match off with uncharacteristic aggression. Partially out of a desperation to win, but also partially out of sheer anger at Lauren's audacity. Unfortunately however her frustration played against her as her charge at Lauren was intercepted, leading to her getting slammed down hard on the mat!

"AGH!" Sakura cried out in pain, arching her back before gritting her teeth and rolling backwards, getting to her feet and holding her back, but not giving up yet as she glared at Lauren before charging in again, seemingly trying the same tactic. This time however she would dart to the side suddenly before jumping up, putting herself just to Lauren's left, so as she jumped Sakura would grab the blonde's head and pull back while twisting as she descended, attempting to drop Lauren with a sling blade!

[Highfly]

Lauren was in shock at how quickly Sakura got up after the slam and lumbered towards the charging Sakura! However this time Sakura moved and grabbed Lauren sending her crashing down to the mat successfully! "ARGH!" Lauren howled as she hit the cradling her head in her arms while kicking the mat in pain! She groaned and tried sitting up but her rise was a bit slower than Sakura's was last time. She had to stay on top of Sakura but she was moving slowly hoping that when Sakura pounced again that she would be ready.

This time around Sakura had been successful in bringing Lauren down to the mat with a sling blade maneuver, filling her with a new sense of drive knowing that she could take advantage now. Immediately having pushed herself up following the mov Sakura would eye up Lauren as she started to do the same. Not that Sakura would allow the woman to get up fully as she would run forward herself, leaping up as she neared, pulling her legs in the idol would try and nail Lauren with a dropkick to the chest!

[Highfly]

Lauren was rising when she heard the footsteps. She saw Sakura coming and nearly upon her, and even without knowing what was coming Lauren did know she didn't want to be in this exact spot. To that end she rolled hard to the side so Sakura missed her! Lauren would try to stagger her way up to her feet as quickly as she could knowing that Sakura would waste no time in rising up.

Once the two wrestlers were standing Lauren stepped up and swung looking to pepper Sakura with a few hard body punches before stepping up to clothesline Sakura to the mat!

Leaping up to try and land a dropkick on her opponent Sakura's eyes would widen slightly as she saw the woman move away, avoiding the move and leaving Sakura to fall to the floor! "Ngh!" Sakura groaned out, rolling over and trying to get back up to her feet, looking up only for Lauren to already be upon her, launching a volley of fists at her sides and stomach! "Ugh! Agh! Gah!" Sakura groaned with each blow as they connected, trying to raise her arms up as a meager defense but it was no match for the clothesline that came next! "Uwaghhh!" Sakura cried out, getting taken off her feet by the blow and landing hard on her back!

[Highfly]

Lauren took Sakura down and as soon as Sakura hit the mat the big blonde was already moving! Lauren jumped up and aimed an elbow drop right onto Sakura's chest hoping that her size crashing down would keep Sakura stunned long enough to lock in a side headlock! Lauren would squeeze as hard as she could and flex her free bicep as she called out to the crowd. "Sorry that the big girl is taking it to your pretty fan favorite!" Lauren said as she kept squeezing away at Sakura's head.
