Rock'n'Rookie : A Competitive Meeting

[Bearhug Goddess]

Britanny nodded as she listened to Chris answer her question instead of Cleo who seemed rather embarrassed not to have been able to win this challenge but it didn't seem to bother the ojou much who continued to display a big smile and didn't move an inch to the side to let Chris pass. She raised her hand while looking at the two lightweights and laughed.

"Ooohohoh!~ I can't believe you found your first rival and it had to be her!~"

Cleophée found herself even more embarrassed than before, groaning slightly and clenching her fists while watching her big sister continue to laugh at this situation.

"Brit! Please!"

The giantess ojou slowly stopped her laughter and looked at the two little wrestlers by placing her hands on their shoulders, looking at them with a big smile like a big sister proud of her little sister.

"You had four rounds but everyone knows that you need an odd number to decide a rivalry.~ Well, do you have a match planned?~"

Cléophée unclenched her fists and looked at Brittany with a little surprise before looking at Chris. She didn't know how to react, she knew that one day she would face one of the best wrestlers in her weight division because of her dream, that of becoming the best lightweight, but not so soon...

"Well.. What do you think Chrissou?"

[GolemGuardian]

Chris clicked her tongue in annoyance, the giant sister kept her from leaving as she, similar to the smaller, but still pretty big, younger sister, seemed to taunt the rocker. Was the heavy, Brit she soon heard Cleo call her, belittling her because of how small and light she was? The rocker's fist clenched, before trying to shove her way past.

Brit placed a hand on each of their shoulders, once again stopping Chris' attempt to leave. She glared at the big woman, as she explained the simple fact of deciding contest winners and kept comparing this to a 'rivalry.' It could hardly be called such, since she was just humouring the aggravating girl and shut her up.

But then, the mention of a match came up. Of course it would. Both these Yses seemed to share the same thoughts, as Brit asked if Chris and Cleo were gonna schedule a match. Both lightweights faces turned to surprise, but for different reasons. Chris' from the thought of having to deal with this iritable rookie again.

"Hell no!" She exclaimed, trying to shrug off Brit's hand. "I have no obligation to reward someone who spent the last hour just insulting me. I'm not fighting her unless management books the match." Her glare then turned to Cleo. "We had a bet, and we tied. We're done here. Period." Chris would then turn her back to the two. If Brit was blocking one path, she'd just take the opposite way to get away from these Yses.

[Bearhug Goddess]

Britanny looked at the two lightweights with a big smile, she was eager to see what Cleo had planned for an opponent like Chris who was a well-known veteran of LAW but this kind of feelings and desire were not consented to by the lavender-eyed wrestler. As Chris declined and broke the desires of the two Ysé, Cleophée's face gradually began to lose its smile to give way to an expression of disappointment. She looked at her big sister who displayed a rather neutral look. Britanny sighed and moved to the side, letting Chris take a few steps to leave but while Cleophée intended to do the same thinking that this rivalry stopped there, Britanny added a little of her grain of that.

"Ooohohohoh! ~ I didn't expect that from you, lady Yukine Chris..."

Britanny turned around and crossed her arms under her chest before speaking again.

"I didn't think losing a title match could change a person so much, hmm?~ My little sister, although she's new, is looking to become one of the greatest wrestlers in her weight division, a wrestler capable of being more powerful than anyone, a champion that everyone will remember... Isn't that right, Cleophee?~"

Cleophee nodded.

"Mhh mhh!"

"But I'll be honest, I don't think you're the person to be a rival to Cleophee. You're weak, pathetic, cowardly and most of all, you're afraid of new obstacles~"

"Britanny?..."

Cleophee seemed confused, she had already provoked Chris during the last hour but this time Britanny exaggerated and was much rougher than her. Now that she thought about it, wasn't Britanny considered a heel at LAW?...

"You're falling from a great height, Lady Yukine, to tie against a newcomer at LAW... Doesn't that prove your downfall? You lack ambition, you don't deserve to be considered one of the best lightweights and even less as a wrestler... But I can help you regain your splendor.~"

Britanny put her hand on her chest and held out the other one towards Chris who was now at the edge of the corridor. It was her last chance for Chris to turn around but compared to Cleophée, the ojou had planned a rather tempting offer.

"Have a match against my little sister, if she loses against you I'll let you have a match against me, the Great Britanny, the next heavyweight champion!~ My title match will take place at We Are LAW 7, so in a few weeks, and I'm not going to lose.~"

[GolemGuardian]

Chris sneered as she finally seemed to take Cleo down a few pegs. Despite the bit of pride for finally doing so, seeing how Cleo's face fell with each of her cruel words almost made the rocker regret what she said. Thankfully she didn't have to dwell too long, as Brittany stepped out of her way so she could leave. The smallest of the three would try to take the chance before she dwelled too long on her words.

However, as soon as she passed by the giantess, she heard her ear scraping laugh, beginning a monologue that was much more cruel than the other lightweight had been. Calling out her devastating loss to the Venomous Vixen, saying it had made her weak and cowardly. The rocker stopped as the heavyweight went on about Chris' supposed 'lack of ambition' and how low she had fallen.

She turned on her heels, ready to scream at Brittany whatever rebuttal her angered mind could think of. But them the oujo made a tempting offer. A match with her, someone scheduled to be the a contender for the heavyweight belt, should Cleo end up the loser. Or, possibly, a match with the new heavyweight champion.

It brought to mind a certain lightweight vs heavyweight match. One of the brand's biggest matches. A battle of the weight classes' current champions at the time. A match up whose ending that was seen by many as pure luck, others who complained at the upset.

It would be a hard push in Chris' career if she won, or even if she just lasted longer than any and every expectation.

Chris' anger seemed to subside, weighing the pros and cons. Chris had only fought one heavyweight, and it had been in a wintery, gimmick match. Her lavender orbs looked elder sister up and down, trying to compare that match, Ishtar, and how she felt things could have ended up otherwise to the giant woman before her. She didn't know much about Brittany, and would definitely have to do so between now and her match with the younger Ysé - should she accept, that is.

"...I have two conditions." Chris said, walking back over. "First, let's say on the off chance your confidence is misplaced, like many title contenders' tends to be, you lose. You set up the match if Cleo loses, whether you walk out We Are LAW the new champ or not.

"And second." Chris looked around Brittany to the source of her ire over the last hour. "Our match won't be at any upcoming PPV. Part of the deal the contest we had was I'd be her first PPV opponent. Given we drew, I don't think it'd be fair for her reward to be fulfilled. She can even pick the match, so long as it's not a PPV." With that, she extended both her hands out, looking for a handshake from each respective Ysé. "So, ladies, do we have a deal?"

[Bearhug Goddess]

"Everything seems perfect to me, Lady Yukine, I'm happy to do business with you.~"

Brittany's words were clearly harsher than those of her little sister who still had to learn the art of provoking by pressing where it hurt... And it had just worked. Cleophée was speechless and impressed by what Britanny had just done, in a few seconds and in a few sentences she had managed to make Chris turn back, who was no longer angry at all and even seemed very interested in this proposal.

However, even if everything seemed perfect on the side of the ojou and the lavender-eyed wrestler, Cleophée did not seem satisfied. Chris was her first interaction at LAW and surely her first rival... However, she was not the reason for their match! She was only a gateway to her opponent, they were not equal. It was frustrating, enough for little Ysé to cross her arms and puff out her cheeks.

"She's so capricious... Why do I have to restrain myself for her?"

Brittany, all smiles seeing after shaking Chris's hand to show her agreement, turned to her little sister to see what was wrong.

"Why should I even accept such conditions? You were saying that you didn't want a match with me few seconds ago and now you want to? You just want to make fun of me and waste my time!... Take me seriously, dammit !.."

Brittany released Chris's hand and turned completely to her little sister, caressing Cleophée's head to reassure her. Cleophée's cheeks swelled even more, she was starting to feel ashamed of acting this way... She looked like a spoiled child but Britanny didn't need to say a single word to make Cleophée understand that her attitude was inappropriate in addition to reassuring her.

Cleophée took a long breath and walked towards Chris, looking straight into her eyes with a look filled with desire, challenge and especially excitement. She was finally going to get what she wanted and luckily, she could choose the type of match. She firmly grabbed her future opponent's hand and squeezed it with a good grip.

"It'll be a last woman standing match! My sister has no time to waste with you so I'll defeat you... And you'll finally recognize me as a real wrestler ! Okay ?"

[GolemGuardian]

It didn't take long for Brittany to accept Chris' handshake. Their match would now be set, and all she'd have to do was trounce an entitled brat. She didn't say that out loud, to save Cleo some embarrassment. Or even, at least, try to not make it seem like she was looking down on the girl.

But that was not enough for the younger Ysé. In retrospect, Chris could understand just why she was upset. Getting a high profile match with a heavyweight contender if she beat her fellow lightweight, almost like she was a mere stepping stone, definitely had to feel degrading. While it was why she was agreeing, she had hoped the fact she let Cleo choose the match would hopefully smooth that over. Instead the girl went on, complaining like a spoiled brat.

After she calmed down, the two stood eye to eye, hands gripped as the deal was made. "Last Woman Standing. You pull that from exhausting contest after exhausting contest? Or did your sis showing you up with a better offer frustrate you that much?" Chris said with her own bite. "But, make no mistake. Just because I'm aiming for Brit there, doesn't mean I'm not gonna treat you any different from any other opponent. I'll take you seriously, if you can back up your claims in the ring."

As if to make up for the slight, Chris would continue as her hand pulled away. "But, after I trounce you two, I'll happily give you a second chance." Hoping that would smooth over Cleo's hurt, Chris then would pull away and walk away from the two Ysés with a wave. "See you in the ring."
