[TheManVan]

Reiko Hinomoto

vs.

Candy Cane

Match Type: Standard
Victory Conditions: Pinfall, Submission, or Count Out.

Reiko Hinomoto was ready, it was her first match coming back from Japan since the Rumble Roses Tournament as she continued to make a name for herself in the wrestling world. Although out of all of her opponents that could've been picked to be her opponent, she didn't think that it would be someone she came across from the RR tournament. She had fought the school girl from Canada a few times, each of them difficult and hard fought. She wondered how much Candy had improved since then as her theme began to play on the speakers.

Dressed in her normal attire, the red top and red short shorts with the words of Zero written on the waist band she appeared on stage as she made her way down to the ring. Still at the age of 19, the young wrestler kept her eyes on the ring as the sight would never get old on her she felt, the pedestal where her mother craved her name into. She was determined to do the same as she climbed up on to the apron, jumping over the top rope with ease as she landed in the ring. The crowd was ready to see some of the action that took place across seas, now being presented to them in full fashion!

[Devastated]

It was time again to throw down in the ring and the redhead was ready for action. This time unlike her debut the Canadian knew just who she was facing. Reiko Hinomoto, a girl she had fought a handful of times and didn't have any strong opinions about. She neither liked or disliked the woman. She was a tough fighter and and honorable one...in truth she kinda weirded Candy Cane out, not a lot just a little bit. Still, Candy Cane didn't change her attitude around her or the way that she fought, she was about to bring it tonight and show the Japanese woman on her own home turf that the Punk-rocker was not someone to mess with.

Wearing her school-girl attire Candy Cane stepped out onto the ramp with her "band" already there. Her music started to be played as the redhead began to sing and perform her own theme. She kept it up for a good minute or so before she took a hold of the microphone stand and flung it through the air, moving up to grabbing a hold of the red guitar of the guitarist as she started to march her way towards the ring with it.

The Canadian moved up to the steel steps of the ring and placed the Guitar against the steps as she climbed up into the ring. She moved up into the ring and threw some punches into the air before she raised two sets of devil horns to the crowd. Then she turned to Reiko, walking up to the center of the ring Candy Cane placed her arms folded over her generous chest as she stared with her sky blue eyes at the Zero Fighter.

Reiko watched as Candy made her entrance, it was as extravagant as she remembered as her and her band, the Killer Bambies play her theme. It gave her goosebumps as nostalgia race through her body, jitters shot through her bones as she bounced around in her corner, turning around to grab at the top ropes before jumping up and down to stretch out her legs and knees.

Before Candy got into the ring, Reiko stopped her last minute stretches as she turned, watching the school girl set down her guitar at the side of the steps. Reiko had memories of the times that Candy used it as a weapon, Rumble Roses had a much more lenient rulings for their matches. All matches were no disqualifications. LAW ran things more differently, but she couldn't rule out that anything could happen when the ref girl's back was turn.

Seeing Candy move closer to the center, Reiko moved to meet her there as they stood off. Reiko could see all of the sass in Candy's posture, her attitude still as brazen as ever. "Hello Candy." was her first words to the Canadian since their last tangle.

[Devastated]

Candy Cane kept her eyes on Reiko as the girl moved up towards the center of the ring, She would turn her chin up a bit and shift herself forward a step...then she'd start to stalk around Reiko. Attempting to start circling the woman as she stood in the center of the ring. Hands moving down from her chest to her hips as she would nod her head.

" Hello Reiko. Can't believe you followed me here as well." Candy Cane let out as she would attempt to march around Reiko not once, not twice, but three times before settling in front of Reiko again. " All of you coming here after me, it's kinda pathetic wouldn't you say." Candy Cane mocked as she would settle in front of Reiko. " So, I hope you're ready for your first defeat here in LAW." Candy Cane spoke out as she would ready her arms for the bell to ring and the match to start.

Reiko kept her eyes locked on Candy as she saw the school girl beginning to circle around her, her body instinctively doing the same back as they began to walk laps around the ring, sizing each other up. Reiko's arms kept low and to her sides, swaying with each step as she saw that Candy didn't take any offensive position just yet.

"Ha, you and me being here are just a coincidence! But I can say, I'm quite glad that it is, even if you think otherwise." Reiko let out, laughing inwardly with how Candy thought she followed her back to her own home country of all places. "Although I must say Candy, I didn't think you would go full time as a wrestler. Got the taste from all those matches in Rumble Rose?" The girl definitely had an ego, a healthy ego. Backed with that talent and ability, Reiko knew that this was going to be as competitive and hard fought as any other time they faced. "If you're going to give it to me, then I suggest you fight even harder than before. Because I'm not losing here in Japan without a fight!"

They stopped with their circling, ending up in the same place of when they started as Candy brought her arms up, Reiko did the same. Her left arm was brought out further than her right as she started bouncing on her feet, ready to rumble!

The bell would ring shortly after as Reiko took a step closer to Candy, extending her left hand up to entice Candy into a test of strength to start off. It would give her a gauge to see if Candy had improved on her strength since RR.

[Devastated]

The two women started to circle each other and they were both looking to be of a similar mind to it all. Once again though, Reiko's attitude kinda threw Candy Cane off of hers, she clicked her tongue and would roll her shoulders and move her hands off of her hips halfway through the circling, adopting a similar walk to Reiko.

" Glad huh?...well I guess It's good I get the chance to kick your butt again." Candy Cane said, her attitude wasn't exactly hostile, it was more banter like. Cocky as hell and confident that she could take Reiko down, with that general bad-girl attitude. Though she had no real hostility to Reiko Hinomoto. " Full time wrestler huh...Yeah I guess that's what I am now. You could say that my matches in Rumble Roses got me into it. Or you could say that I went full time cause I'm good at it, better than most and I just like it." The Canadian answered the Japanese wrestler's question.

" Look who developed some cockiness huh? Was that supposed to be trash talk. Gimme a break, you're no where near my level at that yet Zero. Maybe one day you can turn into a hero, but today is just not that day." Candy Cane let out as they both came to a halt in front of each other at the opposite positions from where they started.

Reiko started to bounce on her feet and looked ready to rumble and so was Candy Cane who's arms went up and then the two stepped in as the bell rang. Candy Cane looked up though when she saw that left hand of Reiko's up in the air...The redhead would smirk as she stepped in and raised her right hand up into the air and then her left to lock them up into that test of strength.

[TheManVan]

Reiko scoffed back at Candy, reflecting the playful banter that they were having, standing across of each other as Reiko kept her hand up as Candy accepted her challenge. The two of them would lace fingers with one hand as Reiko and Candy brought up their remaining hand up to lock with the other. She flexed her fingers to ensure that she had a good grip on Candy as she smirked right back at her opponent.

"Got good at it huh? I'm kinda jealous you just jumped into this and are this good. But don't think that you're good enough to kick my butt. I'm going to give you just the same amount of trouble." she bantered back, she wasn't good at trash talking as Candy could plainly tell, but she wasn't going to back down from anything when faced with a tough opponent like Candy!

Once both girls were ready, Reiko would lunge forward, attempting to shove her chest and shoulders into Candy's, pushing her hands into Candy's in an attempt to overcome her opponent. It wasn't often that Reiko found someone who had the same interest as being a wrestler around her age. She was being genuine when she said that she was glad to see Candy.

Stamping her feet into the ground, trying to push with all of her weight into Candy. Her face was a little red as she felt their generous busts were pressing against each other as they did this.

[Devastated]

Candy Cane and Reiko stood very close to start this match of as their hands laced together like fine stitching. Fingers squeezing the other woman's gloved hands as their eyes met, brown eyes staring into blue eyes as they were poised to start this match off. They were of nearly equal height, weight and even measurements.

" Got good? I think you've got that wrong, I was already the best before I even joined." Candy Cane let out with a smirk on her face as she looked on at Reiko. " You can tell me that after your ass has been kicked." Candy Cane said as she would throw a wink to the woman. Now that the bell had rung and the women were locked up they both lunged forward. Their frames crashed into one another, chest to chest and shoulder to shoulder. The redhead and the brunette started to try and overcome each other's strength.

Candy Cane blushed slightly as they were pushed up against each other in this manner...Reiko managed to force Candy Cane a step back which got the redhead to click her tongue and re-double her efforts, trying to push and struggle against Reiko to claim that step back and another for good measure.

[TheManVan]

Their gloved hands squeezed each other, exerting pressure for any bit of leverage over the other as Reiko continued to push into Candy. The Canadian had a lot to say as always, not that Reiko felt offended. Candy wasn't saying anything too offensive or personal, and she thought it as a good practice to learn the gift of gab.

"Must be pretty sore about losing over in America then huh?" Reiko let out in a playful jab, her foot stomping into the mat as she managed to get a foot over Candy. But Candy was not one to back down from adversity and in fact, in Reiko's mind, grew when facing it.

Emphasized when Candy came pushing back, forcing Reiko to step back and before she had a chance to recover, Candy pushed into her again! "Guuuuu...! Pretty...strong....but I'm not giving up!" Reiko got out as she attempted to shove back with another step. She would try to go for another step, but instead of just stepping forward, she tried to step so that the would be hip to hip, with her leg behind Candy's. With this point secured she would try to use it as leverage, trying to force Candy's upper torso to bend backwards, looking to try and test Candy's flexibility!

[Devastated]

Candy Cane would click her tongue as Reiko spoke those words to her, causing the redhead to lose her focus for a second which allowed Reiko to push Candy Cane back that step before she adjusted herself and pushed Reiko back two steps. The Canadian grit her teeth and then responded to Reiko's words.

" Hah...It was just a unlucky break...which is gonna change here!" Candy Cane shouted out as she kept herself up against Reiko in this so far dead-even contest. Reiko managed to take back that step though and got them back to where they started. Candy Cane was forced to look down though as to her surprise Reiko seemed to have something up here sleeve...figuratively since she didn't wear any sleeves.

"Huh?" Candy Cane let out in surprise as she felt that leg behind hers and the their hips pressing against one another, hip to hip. Then suddenly she was being forced to bend backwards. " W-woah..." She let out as she was being brought backwards and down more and more, forced to bend over Reiko's leg and starting to be pushed down with her shoulders against the mat, forced to tippy-toe.

" Rrgh...You better!" The Canadian let out as she attempted to start pushing herself up, trying to push herself up to a stand again and then use the position that Reiko had put them in to try and push and bend Reiko backwards!
