Twitter was a strange place. While the social media platform was a battleground for most keyboard warriors, things would take a different turn when words were exchanged by colleagues who were part of the same organization and into the same line of work i.e. "Wrestling". Daisuke Takeuchi's words had gotten him into trouble with the many capable female wrestlers in LAW but most notably had irked one Sakura Haruna who challenged his words which ultimately resulted in the two agreeing to settle their differences over a wrestling match. Daisuke was of the opinion that female wrestlers were inferior to the men while Haruno simply used Twitter to praise the progress being made by female wrestlers. After exchanging some words and others getting involved, Daisuke had feared that their match would be a battleground for interferences if done in the standard LAW arena and therefore requested this official match to be relocated to the safety of his apartment.

He had sent word to the LAW management as well as his Pinkette opponent about the relocation as well as the match type. The two agreed to a I Quit match with a twist. Daisuke had put the condition that there would be no use of striking and kicking but only pure grappling and submission wrestling with the only exception of hairpulling being allowed. Other than that, it would be wrestling on the mat but the action would not be restricted to the matted area and could spill out anywhere in the apartment.

"Hmm she better not keep a prince waiting." Daisuke said to himself while looking at himself in the mirror. Daisuke had just stepped out of the shower, having taken a nice bath and changed into his CK wrestling briefs. He would take a moment to admire his physique, flexing his body with a grin on his face as he took a selfie of himself as well.

Daisuke

After putting on a bathrobe to conceal his wrestling attire, Daisuke would head out to the main living room to set up the wrestling mats as well as fix the tripod and insert his phone so as to live stream the match when his opponent would arrive. After looking at the time, he would hear the doorbell ring and a mischievous grin would form across his lip. Daisuke would make his way to the front of his door and open it, greeting his 'guest' of the afternoon.

"Sakura-chan! I was under the impression you might not make it today" he said. "Come in, Come in...." he offered, allowing her inside before closing the door.

To someone who didn't watch the shitstorm on twitter, here's a little recap. Sakura had made a feminist propaganda post on twitter and it caught the attention of Daisuke Takeuchi, whose opinion of women isn't very high, declaring male superiority over females. Sakura disagreed, so the two agreed to settle this in a wrestling match. Strikes were sadly not allowed, as Daisuke was the one making the rules, but Sakura was still excited to beat the upstart at his own game. If she won, Daisuke would have to publicly declare on twitter that females are superior wrestlers to males. That alone was worth fighting for.

Spoiler

The match would be taking place at Daisuke's apartment for some reason, but not that it worried the pinkette much. Upon reaching the place, Sakura noticed that Daisuke's house was pretty fancy, so he could be considered a prince in some aspects, but Sakura was doubtful about the wrestling part.
The kunoichi was wearing her regular outfit as she approached the door and rang the bell. It didn't take long for the prince to open the door, clearly he was expecting her. He welcomed his guest with the intentionally belittling politeness which irked Sakura.
It's one lifetime too early for you to call me ''chan'', kid. Sakura shot back before walking in and having a look around. You've prepared a special place for us, haven't you?

[Teenwrestler]

As soon as he opened the door for the Pinkette, his smug grin was noticeable to Sakura who was irked by his fake politeness and giving her a honourific reserved for younger Japanese women or close friends which Sakura was neither to Daisuke. Inviting Sakura in, Daisuke stepped to the side and would close to the door behind her as he fastened the knots of his robe making sure they don't slip down to reveal his attire just yet. "Oh I was simply avoiding the formalities Sakura-chan" he said with a smirk trying to get under the skin of the woman who was no doubt agitated by the misogynistic attitude of Daisuke over twitter and now pretending to be nice. "I see you like my preparations? I'm so glad" he said walking past her to give her a small tour of the apartment.

He would guide her to the living room where the wrestling mats have been set up. "This is where we will start the match. Of course we don't have to keep the match reserved just to this place but I highly doubt the match would last long to move away from this place to any other part of the apartment. After all, I don't expect you to know much about grappling wrestling and submissions" he said with his nose held high.

"The match will obviously be recorded, I need to save every second of you submitting and accepting that wrestling is a mans sport." he said turning towards her, face to face. "The changing room is in that bathroom over there, you can shower and change into whatever cute outfit you have in there. I'll be waiting for you here...don't keep me waiting too long Sakura-chan. Remember, no strikes....just grappling wrestling...we wrestle until one of us erm or rather you quit" he grinned before unknotting his robe and letting it drop down to reveal his attire.

Daisuke

[ragaz]

Daisuke still deliberately continued with the 'chan' thing just to annoy Sakura. It certainly worked as Sakura already wanted to just smash his face into the pavement, but the would be against the entire purpose of her being here, so she had to continuously calm herself down, assuring herself that beating Daisuke in his own game would be the best punishment. The downside was that until then, Sakura would have to endure his mockery and the pinkette wasn't known to remain very cool in the face of mockery. Sakura visibly grit her teeth and clenched her fists, fighting the urge to knock every single of those white teeth of his out.

Keep thinking that way, little man. It will make my job all the easier... Sakura replied, almost growling at Daisuke's underestimation of the kunoichi. Though she as well figured that could be her advantage.

Sakura's fists clenched even harder when Daisuke came in with the ''man's sport'' bullshit. Sakura was getting seriously pissed and could barely hold her fists from flying. Just before the fists would fly, Sakura went completely calm, focusing on her breathing. She was silent and motionless while Daisuke was busy with his speech. Sakura simply inhaled and exhaled a few times, her muscles loosening, her fists unclenching, returning her mind back to the match. Then I guess you won't have any footage worth recording, will you? Sakura would respond with a maybe slightly scare change of attitude while undressing right in front of Daisuke and tossing her clothes onto the bed, revealing her workout attire underneath and showing off her feminine, yet muscular frame.

(except there is nothing on her hands)

What? Are you shy or something? This time Sakura would ask mockingly, as she was intentionally disregarding Daisuke's suggestion to go and get changed in the bathroom.

[Teenwrestler]

There were no signs of Daisuke slowing down. He would continue to disrespect and disregard Sakura's ability as a wrestler purely down to the fact that she was a woman. After mocking her by giving her a less than formal honorific, Daisuke would explain her the rules, the unrestricted match area and the fact that this was on record for the books with the match being recorded. Finally, Daisuke would point her towards the bathroom that he had vacant for her to shower and change into her wrestling attire if she needed. Haruno stood there, her fists shaking and her teeth clenched due to anger because clearly Daisuke had gotten under her skin which was exactly what he wanted to do.

He grinned at her because one punch or kick she threw at him would make him the victor of the match due to the rules he set and would prove his point that women couldn't wrestle! "Hm?" he suddenly noticed Sakura calming herself down. She stood still, hands by her side and her breathing relaxed while she looked down to the floor. Suddenly, she would strip out of her clothes to reveal her black sports bra and briefs to show off her impressive physique. Daisuke was taken aback by this boldness as he did not expect Sakura to be the daring type, stripping to show her attire just as he did.

"Tch don't be ridiculous. Me? Shy?! Pfft! I was simply suggesting it because you women like to take your time with your pre-match showers and make-up" he said before stepping up towards her until the two were face to face. "Game on....I'm going to enjoy this Haruno" he said before stepping back. Daisuke would walk back over towards the blue wrestling mats he had set up, getting down on his knees and putting his arms out in front, ready to start the match in a grapple position.

[ragaz]

Despite having calmed herself down, Daisuke was getting to Sakura still the moment he opened his mouth again. If there was anything this boy was good at, then it was irritating people, that's for sure.
If the stakes weren't so high, if she wasn't fighting for the entire gender, then she would already be pummeling this upstart with her fists and be out of the match before it even started.
At this point, even calming herself down wasn't helping much, only the stakes of the match are holding her back from disqualification.

As they were face to face, Sakura settled with just imagining deforming that face with that stupid grin. "You will? Really? Are you a masochist?" Well, at least she could let out some of her frustrations in a verbal, sassy form.

When Daisuke got on his knees, it surprised Sakura a little as she expected to start standing up. The Kunoichi would make it seem like she was surprised about something else just to mess with him.
"Hmm? Well, at least you know your place..." Sakura would say, purposefully standing straight in front of the kneeling Daisuke.

[Teenwrestler]

This was one of Daisuke's game plans. To get into the heads of his opponent and throw them off their game mentally. If Haruno was filled with rage and anger she might make a mistake which would allow Daisuke to capitalize and the prince was counting on her to make a mistake. However, the Pinkette did well to keep calm in this situation which sort of foiled Daisuke's plan. No matter, Daisuke would simply resort to his impeccable wrestling ability to take down his opponent instead.

The two were face to face, having just said their final thoughts to each other before the match would begin. "No I just enjoy winning a lot" he grinned before getting down on his knees on the mat in front of Sakura. The Pinkette would grin and would continue to stand in front of him, not eager to join him on the mats on her knees purely in an attempt to get him annoyed. It did work, Daisuke was made a fool of as he stood on his knees in front of Sakura who would taunt him about it.

Gritting his teeth in anger, he suddenly calmed down and let out a sigh. "Let me show you yours then" he said before bringing his hands forward to grab Sakura's legs and yank at them, making her trip down on her back. If that worked, Daisuke would straddle her chest and grab her arms, pinning them above her head to capture her in a schoolgirl pin position.

[ragaz]

Hands on her hips, Sakura sttod in front of her kneeling opponent, making him look like a fool. Sakura's grin grew wider when she noticed the irritation on Daisuke's face. It felt really good to get under his skin for once.

Meanwhile, Daisuke took a page from the Kunoichi and calmed himself down. Also, he used Sakura's misunderstanding of the situation against her. She was under the impression that the match hasn't started yet and she was waiting for a bell or something. So, the pinkette was taken by surprise when her legs got grabbed and she was tackled to the mat by the male. "Whoaaah!" Sakura gasped and before she knew it, Daisuke was already straddling her and her arms were pinned above her head.
"Gghhhnnnrrhh!" Sakura growled both in anger and in strain as she tried to forcibly wiggle her arms out, but all that achieved was moving them around a little on the mat, still pinned.

Once she was thinking more clearly, Sakura had a few words of sass before attempting something. "Nngh! Don't you think this is a little bit too forward of you?" Sakura would say before she would raise her legs behind Daisuke and try to wrap them around his head.

[Teenwrestler]

Managing to turn the tide to his favour, Daisuke would soon wipe the smug grin of Haruno's lips when he would grab her legs and yank them from under her. He made the Pinkette fall down onto the matted area of his lounge before quickly straddling her to keep her pinned down. Scooting forward, he would almost sit on her chest while his brief clad crotch was pressed against her chin and he grabbed her arms to pin them over her head to secure her in a schoolgirl position. Grinning mischievously, it was now time for the payback.

"Aw what's the matter? All that girl power isn't going to help you here" he mocked as he released her arms and would do a double bicep flex while having her pinned underneath her. "Nothings too forward for me, whatever it takes to beat overhype female wrestlers like yourself" he would grin looking to bring his hands forward to try and cup them around her mouth and nose for a hand smother but Sakura would make good use of her legs to bend them backwards and bring them around Daisuke's head, wrapping them around it firmly.

"Nrgh?! W-wha?!" he gasped as he was trapped in a unique scissors position. He knew she was probably attempting to roll him off her with the use of her legs so he went to grab her ankles, trying to wrestle against her for control. "Damnit! L-let go" he growled while struggling.

[ragaz]

Sakura let her guard down and got manhandled at the start of the match with the crotch next to her head adding insult to injury. But then Daisuke one upped Sakura on the letting your guard down by letting go of her arms and just flexing his. This left Sakura with more options than she had planned, but she proceeded as planned, wrapping her legs around Daisuke's head and started tightening the hold as her opponent brought his hands to try and pry apart Sakura's legs.
Sakura did not want to risk throwing this opportunity away, she she would try to lift her uppermost part of her body as much as she could before stretching her arms forward to try and grab onto Daisuke's arms, then pull them downward to herself. Meanwhile, Sakura's legs would be pulling Daisuke's head backwards. "Hhgnnk! Why should I!?"
