When in doubt - Slug it out! Sakura vs Yang.

[ragaz]

"uugh nnhh aahh ttsk!" Sakura grunted as her arms were being pounded and pounded relentlessly by the Barbie girl. Her arms were getting red and things were bad. Then the pinkette heard her daughter cheer for her, urging her to fight back. This helped Sakura mentally, at least. 'i can't let this girl beat me!' sakura thought to herself.

And with that, came an idea. Sakura would start by smashing her knee into Yang's upper back somewhere. Then, Sakuras hands would shoot forward to grab at the back of Yang's neck and pull down on it. At the same time, the ninja brawler's head would shoot up, utilizing her big forehead to smash it into the Blondes nose.

If all worked out, Sakura would try to push Yang off her, with either arms or legs, depending on Yang's position at the time. Sakura would then try to roll away, closer to edge of the ring.

[Tiamat]

Yang felt herself getting closer and closer to breaking Sakura's guard and beating her face in. Honestly it was the only thing she was looking forward to at this point. The fact that this bitch's daughter was watching made things better. But it wasn't like Sakura was going to let this happen.

Grabbing the back of Yang's neck, Yang was at least able to get in two good punches. Sakura not even caring as she brought in Yang's head and bringing up her own. Making a nasty headbutt connect on Yang's nose. AGHH FUCKK!! Screaming as she put both hands on her face. Adding with the fact Sakura pushed her away.

Yang needed to check if her nose was broken before Sakura got any funny ideas on how to attack now.

[ragaz]

Having made herself an opening, the kunoichi used it to get away, rolling to a cage wall and standing up. Both women were inspecting the damage, with Sakura brushing her fist against a sore spot on her face to see if there was some blood or was it just sweat. It seemed that it was a bit of both, the blonde's punches were packing a wallop. ''What's the matter? Your cute little nose hurt? Come closer, I'll set it straight...'' Sakura was of course using the opportunity to take some shots at the blonde, motioning for her to come at her.
With that done, Sakura would wait for Yang to come at her, ready in a boxing stance. She figured she would need to prioritize dodging more than blocking.

[Tiamat]

Yang felt like she could have ended Sakura in that moment before. All she needed was more time. Sakura was quick on her feet, taking the calculated risk of taking some punches. The result was well worth it, since Sakura was able to headbutt Yang. Causing a good amount of damage and everyone could tell. Yang screaming fuck in pain was a pretty good indicator.

Thankfully though the damage was not as bad as Yang thought. Inspecting her nose more closely, Yang could at least tell that it was not broken. The specifics she would have to figure out later. Thankfully, Sakura even gave Yang some time to recover. Yang wasn’t much of a thinker, but if she were guess why Sakura didn’t pile on the hurt. It would have to be because Sakura’s more damaged than she lets on. Well using this time to her advantage Yang would try to get herself back up. Sakura was well on her way doing the same. Even throwing out a taunt as she got into her stance.

Tough talk from someone who pushed me away. But I ain’t one to play mind games Yang would say poking fun at Sakura for trying to be on some high horse. Yang recognized the stance Sakura was in immediately. “Finally you want to slug it out” Yang would say as she entered the same stance. More than content to let punches fly, Yang would still have to keep Sakura’s grappling in mind.

Slowly closing the distance between them. Yang was never the patient one and wanted to feel out what Sakura had in mind. Tossing out a quick one two punch combo. The first aimed at Sakura’s face, with the intent of leaving her stomach open for the second punch!

[ragaz]

The two women had already decorated each others looks with a number of bruises, cuts and blood on them, but neither of them seemed to be the type to quit. If anything, Sakura was reinvigorated by the battle and the pain, she felt like she was truly alive in this moment.

The kunoichi had a small grin as a result of her 'happiness' right before Yang re-engaged her with two quick jabs. Sakura was prepared to dodge, so she swung her upper body backwards, out of the reach of the punch, but then the second jab came too fast and clapped against the older woman's abs.
Sakura hissed and took one step back. The blow was not as hard as it could've been and the pinkette was able to quickly respond with a right kick to Yang's legs that would strike like a whip.
If that worked and/or was enough to affect the blondie, Sakura would follow up with a right left jab combo, taking a step forward during each strike.

[Tiamat]

This match quickly became something very violent very quickly. Yang and Sakura win or lose, both of these women were not going to be walking straight. Even with that fact, both women would rather die that quit. Yang was getting more and more riled up with each punch thrown. Even if she was the one getting hit.

Yang swung quick and hard. Sakura swung her body back dodging the first punch. But the second would find its mark. Though distance made it hard for the full power to be behind the fist. Sakura acted fast with a whip of a kick to Yang’s leg. Yang winced as she limped to the side.

Sakura followed that combo up with a right left jab combo. Landing clean on Yang’s face. Sakura pushing forward with each step. Yang was tired of this game of chasing. So as the fists landed on her face, Yang also pushed forward. Hoping to get really close, close enough where they could feel each other's breaths. Getting down low quick, even being taller than Sakura. Yang was under Sakura’s chin at this point. With a lot of power behind it. Yang shot upwards with all of her body. With her fist hopefully crashing onto Sakura’s chin as Yang wanted to hopefully either take of Sakura’s head or send her flying

[ragaz]

The pace of the fight increased tremendously since the two of the fighters got off the mat, throwing punches and kicks with great speed and tenacity. Sakura was the type of person to be excited by the adrenaline and every aspect of a fight, but she also had a temper and a hatred for losing, so Yang landing hits on her or pounding her on the ground did excite her, but it also pissed her off temporarily and gave her a nasty itch to pay the barbie back.
And so Sakura did with that kick to the blonde's leg, stopping Yang's annoying followups and offering some of her own, gaining ground with each connecting jab. Yet Yang, instead of backing away, advanced straight into the fray, ducking under another one of Sakura's punches and getting real close to the pinkette.
'This is bad!' Sakura thought to herself as she had a decent guess on what was gonna happen next. Sakura grit her teeth, narrowed her eyes. In one move, she took a step back as well as pivoted her body to the side. Sakura saw the blow whiz by next to Sakura's body and face, the pinkette could feel the raw power in the form of the dislocated air around Yang's arm

Not having repeated the previous mistake, Sakura would grab Yang's 'shoryuken-arm' by the wrist with her right hand. Her left hand would ball into a fist, her eyes would widen and her facial expression would look much more of the furious type for the moment. Simultaneously, Sakura would pull at Yang's arm a little in order to make way for her fist that would be flying in the form of a nasty, curved haymaker, aimed for Yang's mouth.

[Tiamat]

Yang at this point was only looking for Sakura’s head. Seemingly enough it was going to take something drastic to take down either one of the fighters. Yang was always one to go with the flow, she would leave the thinking to people like Weiss who were better at it. Not that Yang needed much thought. Just one “Knock this bitch out” which exactly was the plan. It wouldn’t be wrong to say that Yang wanted knock Sakura’s head off of her body. But those would be the thoughts we keep to ourselves.

Closing the gap quickly, Yang couldn’t second guess herself. It was now or ever, once she got in a comfortable position. Yang would try and shoot her first up and aim for Sakura’s chin. But Yang didn’t account for one thing. Sakura kept a cool head. Anyone else like Yang would’ve fallen prey to the adrenaline rush and fall right into her clutches. Yet thanks to Sakura for having a cool head, the opposite came to be. Sakura weaved out of Yang’s dangerous attack. There was no way for Yang to even think about dodging this counter. Grabbing Yang by the punching arm and pulling her in, gathering all of that momentum, adding the power from Sakura’s own body. Combining into a devastating haymaker cleanly finding its mark. With Yang’s entire face warping from the blow, with a combination of spit and blood coming out of her mouth. Damn near spiking the blonde towards the ground. Whatever sound Yang did make was drowned by the sheer impact of the move. Now Yang was face first on the mat, still conscious but having the hardest of times figuring out where she even is

[ragaz]

Sakura quite literally avoided the blow by a hair, saving herself from being rocked. Not only that, but managing to land a kind of counter, that was probably the cleanest blow of the match, leaving the audience in awe as the blonde hit the mat face first. It even looked like possible knock out.
"Do you know what happens when you get your head too high into the clouds?" Sakura would ask rhetorically with some signs of heavy breathing while wiping whatever blood or sweat from her cheek and mouth.

Sakura would walk over to Yang and then punt her hard in the side. "You kiss the mat, that's what happens!" Sakura would exclaim with anger and annoyance in her voice as she stood over her opponent.
If Yang didn't roll away or do some king of move, Sakura's next action would be her balling her left hand Into a fist, dropping down onto one knee while turning and plunging that fist viciously into the center of Yang's body.

[Tiamat]

Yang’s head was ringing like crazy from that punch from Sakura. Yang was always one to go for the risky option, but this time it backfired on her big time. The thoughts going around Yang’s head were going crazy but reaching the same endpoint. (Fuck…What was that move) On the bright side of things at least it showed that Yang didn’t completely lose herself. Sakura moved in close all high and mighty talking down to Yang. Yang was in no position to even talk back to Sakura, instead opting to go into 100% recovery mode.

AGH! Yang let out audible shriek in pain from Sakura’s punt kick to her side. If Yang wasn’t awake now, that kick definitely did the trick. Knowing full well that Sakura was just like Yang if not worse. Sakura was coming in for more, and Yang knew that. Meaning that she had to get the hell out of dodge.

Watching Sakura come down with a dangerous punch. Yang’s body almost moved on its own. Rolling out of the way, leaving Sakura to hit nothing but the floor. Hopefully doing some recoil damage in the process. Thankfully Sakura already lowered herself enough for Yang. This allowed Yang to let out some explosiveness on her part. Getting into the right position and charging forward at Sakura. Not looking to tackle the pink haired woman. Instead hoping to land a low and bastardized version of a Superman punch. Hopefully landing cleanly on Sakura’s face and blowing her to the side. But since Yang wasn’t in the best position herself, even after the hit she would just fall onto her stomach. The best case would be now both Sakura and Yang were laid out.
