Just like good old times

[Aqua]

Not in a million years would Hinata admit it. But those buttons Sakura pushed, were done so perfectly. Hinata was a bit ticked off, yes a total shock but yes Hinata was ticked off. Whether that was a good thing or bad thing, Sakura was sure to find out in the next few seconds. Luckily for Hinata, Sakura was dizzy from the last hit so this was likely to land. The best part was was that Sakura had hit the ropes in such a way she came back to Hinata.

Clenching her fist ever so tightly in her gloves Hinata swung her entire body with a right hook to Sakura's face. Hoping to blast it to the side, next Hinata would use her momentum of the last punch to add even more impact to her next punch. That being a left hook rocketing to Sakura's face and colliding with it as her face was being sent in its direction. Hinata would continue this at least two more times before deciding to dig in her right fist into Sakura's abs that she were so proud of.

Sakura was a bit dizzy bouncing off the ropes. She saw Hinata go for a big swing and so she raised her arms up to block, but she wasn't precise enough with her guard due to the momentary dizziness. And so Hinatas fist slipped past Sakuras block and smashed itself on Sakuras cheek "oooupphff!" Sakuras entire body was rocked to the side and saliva flew out of Sakuras mouth. Now Sakura was far more helpless than before and could do nothing about the next punch that rocked her in a similar way, just in the opposite direction. "Ooaahh!" More saliva flew out of Sakuras mouth. "Ooaahh!" - and again. This pounding resulted in a momentary concussion and Sakura was no more than a very attractive target right now. Especially now, since Sakura wasn't conscious enough to keep her abs tight, so when Hinatas fist went into her belly, it went in good. "Aaaarrghhkkh!" Sakura let out as her mouth went wide open. The pinkette was folded over her opponent's fist.

[Aqua]

Hinata had just given Sakura a beating she will be sure to remember for a long time. Evident by the pinkette being folded over Hinata's covered fist. Taking a moment in holding Sakura, Hinata would drill her fist in further into Sakura's stomach. Hinata feeling the inner workings of Sakura's muscles, likely hurting her in the process. After a few moments of that Hinata as if she flipped a switch would realize what she did and feel bad. Oh I am so sorry Sakura-Chan I... I didn't mean to Hinata said as she removed her fist from Sakura's stomach. Letting the pinkette fall flat on the mat. Cutting off Hinata's apology, seeing Sakura like this worried her. What if they didn't have the gloves? What if it was Hinata's bear fists? It would have been way worse off, for the both of them really but Sakura more so right now.

Hinata now bending over, placing her hands on her knees looking down at Sakura. Sakura-Chan are you okay? If you can hear me, we can end this now if you want Hinata said genuinely getting worried for her sparring partners well being.

"ughh... Oohh..." Sakura moaned a couple of times while hanging on Hinata's fist which was having fun in exploring the pinkettes midriff.

When Hinata retracted her fist, Sakura fell to her knees, panting. The blows hurt, but Hinata's words stung way too hard. Deep down Sakura knew Hinata meant no offense, but Sakura felt badly disrespected as a fighter, and to be honest, underestimated how tough Sakura was and Hinata was going to pay dearly for that.
Not to mention that this little break let Sakura catch enough of her breath to...

"Stop..." Sakura would place her left foot on the mat before quickly pushing herself up with a right uppercut, aimed for Hinata's crotch.
"PATRONIZING ME!"
"And dont you dare..."
Sakura would then wind up a wide left hook and shoot it for the side of Hinata's strength with all of her strength.
"UNDERESTIMATE ME!"

[Aqua]

Hinata for lack of better phrasing had laid Sakura out. At least this would make Sakura think twice before underestimating Hinata again. But maybe she was taking this spar a bit to far.

Looking down she had to make sure if Sakura was okay. After all this wasn't meant to be anything to hardcore. Just friends going at it. But maybe it was in Sakura's head. Speaking in such a low tone, Hinata couldn't quite hear her. Getting closer to Sakura would prove to be a vital mistake. Sakura would push herself up with a right uppercut. Surely one that could end careers. Aimed straight for Hinata's crotch.

Sakura's fist smashed into Hinata's crotch and suddenly pain jolted throughout Hinata's body. Her eyes bulged out of her skull along with her body being raised off her feet. With her teeth clenched and overcome by the pain Hinata was even unable to scream. Ohhhhh..... Hinata said as she held herself, falling to her knees. Hoping to somehow overcome the pain, how could Sakura do such a thing.

That worry would make the situation even worse, as Sakura winded up a left hook with all of her power. BANG! A loud sound echoed in the entire room. Signaling that the strike had landed, Hinata's face was a mess with eyes rolling to the back of her had. Getting blown to the side with Sakura's blow. Now getting laid out herself.

Maybe they should've worn protective gear

After Sakura landed the knockout blow to the side of Hinata's face, she was standing straight, with a satisfied smile on her face. Body and face had already visible bruises on it, but it did nothing to impede Sakuras satisfaction.
"Are you alright, hime-sama?" The pinkette returned the favour by patronising Hinata straight back. Maybe you should just quit? I wouldn't want to hurt you, Hinata." Sakuras tone wasn't that of caring, but more belittling.
"Ah right, I'm supposed to count... 1...
2...
3... Go on, give up, just like you wanted to back in the exams..."
Partly, Sakura was saying these things just to get back at Hinata for the humiliation, but deep down, all she wanted was to be taken seriously, she didn't want Hinata holding back against her. It felt insulting when she did.

[Aqua]

Very few times in her life has Hinata ever been shaken like this. This time being one of them, a low blow is bad enough. But from someone as strong and strike proficient as Sakura? Hinata was feeling that right now, her body almost paralyzed from the pain. Not to mention barely clinging on to her consciousness from the knock out blow that followed. Hinata did her best to catch her breath, but it was caught in betweens groans in pain. The only thing keeping Hinata awake was ironically Sakura's counting. It was a sound she had clung to funny enough.

That... was... a mean move Sakura-Chan Hinata said panting through Sakura's counts. Hinata now trying to drag herself to the ropes. If she were to make it, Hinata would use her gloves to latch onto the ropes. Hoping to get herself up but Hinata's legs were already shaky as is.

[ragaz]

At this poin, sakura had her gloves at her hips as she continued counting and watching as Hinata was crawling to the ropes. Sakura felt satisfied, but also deep down, she felt bad about this as well.
"4...
Mean? Tell me about it.
5...
Maybe next time you'll think twice before looking down on me!
6... " Sakura continued counting as well as sharing her frustrations while Hinata was climbing the ropes.
"Don't expect me to hold back, Hinata."

[Aqua]

Hinata's legs were beyond weak, it like they couldn't move. Hinata in reaching the ropes used them to climb herself back up onto her feet. Once getting to her feet, Hinata would hang over the ropes for a moment before moving her body and now facing Sakura. It was amazing that she was even standing, though honestly the ropes were doing most of the work. Sakura-Chan, I wasn't looking down on you... Hinata said raising her guard weakly, her legs threatening to buckle all on their own.

[ragaz]

Sakura was watching as Hinata was doing her best to stand. Sakura stopped the count once Hinata was on two legs and standing, more or less... Sakuras expression went from a smirk to serious and without saying a word, she dashed for Hinata with a wide hook aimed for the girl's cheek, but suddenly...
DING DING DING!!!

The bell was sounded and Sakuras fist stopped instantly, right next to Hinata's cheek. If it connected, Hinata's head wouldve probably came full circle. "Heh, lucky..." The smirk returned as if nothing happened. Instead, the pinkette would gently grab Hinata's head on two places before she would lean in and plant a little kiss on her cheek - the exact place where her punch would've landed.

After that, Sakura would just let go and back off into a corner where she would take a bottle of water and gulp down half of it, some of which would leak over the sides of her mouth and roll down her body. After that, Sakura would just put the bottle back and lean against the corner, her arms draped over the top ropes. It would then kick in that she was feeling some fatigue from the previous round. Also the pain from the hits still resided, but Sakura didn't show it.
