Trial from Hell! (Amano vs. Takashi)

[dlamp]

Submission Kimodameshi Match
Win via Submission Only
Loser must Worship the Winner's Body

It was an odd situation to be sure. When finishing up training at the dojo Amano had found the letter in her locker, the sender apparently knowing she was a LAW wrestler and challenging her to a match. Specifically, one of Amano's Kimodameshi matches where the challenger got to chose the match type and Amano got to choose the punishment for losing. It was... kind of worrying really. It was no secret to where Amano trained, as her affiliations were announced at every match introducing her. But the fact that someone actively took advantage of that knowledge to the point of leaving her a letter was... kinda' weird. At the very least this Takashi person didn't do something stupid like try to ambush her or something, so there was that.

Still, a challenge for a submission match of all things was... kind of weird. Amano was no true expert in submission techniques like other wrestlers, but most of her wins had been via submission, and the majority of her finishing techniques were submissions as well. Either this person was really cocky in their ability, or they just thought Amano's Kimodameshi matches weren't meant to be taken seriously.

And that kind of arrogance needed one hell of a punishment.

Which made it real nice when that letter also offered a decent stipulation for losing. Complete worship of the winner, the perfect punishment for a cocky upstart that thought Amano was some chump to be made a fool of. "Kehehe~ Wonder what I'll make them kiss first..." With that thought said, Amano folded the letter in her hands, finished up her warm-ups, and started making her way to the ring.

"Tonight! A Kimodameshi Trial! Representing Maizono Textiles and the Taishuya School of Martial Arts! Standing at 157 centimeters! The Rascal Demon, Amanooo! Jaaaaakuuu!"

Spoiler

At at the tune of her theme, Amano walked out to the ramp to a mixed crowd as usual, partly for her own rowdy reputation, partly due to her still newish ghastly look as her black and yellow eyes darted around and scanned the crowd. There were jeers as she stuck her tongue out at the audience, a few whistles when she flips kimono top and flashed her panties, and even some gasps as Amano made faces that spooked a few of the younger audience members with her darker appearance, all while the Demon giggled and sneered at the crowd. And as she finally made her way down to the ring and climbed inside, she merely gave one more flash of her panties before tossing her mask and walking to her corner of the ring, waiting to see what kind of opponent this Takashi was.

[Terini]

Takashi would have already been ready as she would have watched Amano from afar as she would have let out a smile "ehh~, so this is the one that is called Amano huh, the demon who brawl against our handicapped leader huh" she said softly as she would have tapped her foot on the ground getting herself prepare before she got called by the announcer

"I wouldn't call bossan handicapped when she faced her, she just doesn't fight in her full potential...in fact if not for her match against that 'girl' i wouldn't believe that she is bossan on how she acts and fight," a silver-haired girl said softly

"so what?" Takashi said in a challenging tone "she doesn't fight her best so I will call her handicap. Nothing more, nothing less." Takashi stated as those words would have made the silver hair girl simply smile and shake her head. After a moment she would have been told to get herself ready "finally it is time for me to enter, Fuyu have you done what I ask?" the giant white hair girl would have only nodded without speaking a single sentence "good work, now then time to make a scene and mark my name for my debut" Takashi would say with a face full of confidence

"her opponent, representing the Jigoku Roku! standing at 162 centimetres! The black vulture! Takashiiii! Namahageee!"

Spoiler

Takashi would have walked out to the ramp as the crowd would have roared with mixed reactions even more so from the people that know the name of their group. Takashi would have walkout slowly toward the ring with the silver and white-haired girls would have followed her as her attended as the people she walk past by would have raised up a banner of the Jigoku Roku, motivation quote of destroying their opponent complete, and promo of a Japanese restaurant with an amazing deal and discount...wh-!? The silver hair would have noticed this as she would have tried to hide her soft giggle

This oddity however went unnoticed by Takashi since she focus her entire sense on her opponent. She would have slid into the ring and toward her corner, as she would have taken off her cloak and thrown it toward the silver hair girl " so the demon has come toward my plate herself, you have my deepest gratitude" she said as she bows a little before glaring straight into Amano's eye "I am quite famished you see? so let us celebrate and rejoice for the feast that I will have that is provided by The Rascal Demon herself" Takashi said in a cocky and confident tone as she was already sure of herself that the winner of their match will be hers

The hell? It had been a while since someone entrance had Amano at a lost for words and a face almost completely blank of expression, but this was definitely up there in terms of weird first impressions. A girl came onto the stage with a a small group following. That in itself wasn't too weird, even Himeko and Nanase joined Amano every now and then, as rare as it was. No, the weird part was the banner. Jigoku Roku. Amano remembered hearing that name from Himeko after she showed her leader the letter. Apparently they were an old gang in Aoyama Himeko had a few run-ins with, taking on a surprisingly tough leader at times. But along with the gang name was a quote, the typical tough gang quote about victory, crushing enemy, being cool and other nonsense that came out of every cocky newbie. But... next was... a... restaurant discount?

Yeah, Amano might be advertising her family's textile shop and Himeko's dojo with her status, but she wasn't this blatant. It was... information overload for a such a flashy banner. Worse still, the giggles from Takashi's posse might mean this stunt was more a prank than anything. Actually... I think the restaurant promo has the same handwriting as the last bits of that letter. Amano's eyes went to the giggling girl holding the banner, then at the cocky wrestler climbing into the ring and removing her cloak in a flourish.

And then, Takashi spoke.

Amano's blank face quickly snapped back to reality as Takashi prattled on with mock polite. It was a new kind of cocky arrogance, but it looked like just another loudmouth newbie to Amano. The Demon only clicked her tongue in response, her eyes narrowed in disappointment. "Yeah," She spat out, moving out of her corner. "Don't worry, Taka-chan. You'll get plenty to eat after I have you screaming on the mat." She ran a hand along the hem of her kimono, pulling it up slightly to show off her black panties before smirking. "You might even get a drink out of it too. If you're good enough."

[Terini]

Instead of becoming flustered or feeling insulted by Amano comment, Takashi would have looked like that she just did something extremely terrible "...ahh I am sorry Amano...but I don't drink, you see" Takashi said in a worried tone as if it would offend her opponent if she rejected her offered for a drink "I could still drink if the pub has either a juice or water but I rather not drink alcohol" she said softly

"more like you traumatised of alcohol after that incident of our little angel drinking some accidentally" the silver-haired girl would comment with a soft smile" on her face

"shut up!"

"...excuse me Taka-sama,...I think Jaku-sama meant the stipulation of the loser worshipping the winner...it is the norm of the kimodameshi match, you should have known of it" the white girl suddenly speak in a monotone tone of voice

Hearing this Takashi would have been in shock as she didn't know this at all and what this is on about that she writes that stipulation, she only writes the usual challenge letter "wh- I didn't write anything of that sort, what the hell are you talking about!" Takashi complain as she never remembers writing any kind of stipulation in her letter

"oh, that because I am the one who wrote that" Shizuka would have said with a sweet and innocent smile. Hearing this would have made Takashi furious as she would have clenched her hand to find something...squeezable? Confused Takashi would have looked at her hand to see a stress ball...she would have stared at the stress ball for a couple of seconds...then she would have stared at the silver-haired girl then back to the stressed ball

After a while, she would have sighed and squeezed the ball as hard as she can before giving the stress ball back toward the silver hair girl "okay...I am calm now" Takashi would have turned around to look toward Amano as she would have let out a big sigh "well ignoring that...I will still be going to do what the letter said since it is kinda my fault to not triple check the letter in case a prank like this happen," she said softly as she spoke normally without the condescending and arrogant tone that she used earlier. "well then time for us to begin, prepare yourself for I wi-" Takashi would have started to talk in a condescending tone once more before she suddenly gets cut off by a sudden scream from two idiots from the crowd

This would have resulted in a full-on argument between Takashi and the three idiots (Sachi, Francesca, and Shizuka) as this would have gone on for several minutes as the result would have ended with the crowd would have been laughing at their antics and the humiliated Takashi would have walk forward toward Amano in a defeated expression "screw it, I won't do my usual taunt and flair, I am already humiliated as it is, I hope to fucking god or devil that your princess doesn't watch this as I don't want her to have another thing to gloat over me" she said in a tone that indicated that she is tired of everything at the moment " and here I was about to see how I can compare to Rie since She did manage to beat you even though she didn't take the match the slightest bit serious, and then this happens...please erase that from your memory...like right now"

Okay, what kind of three-man comedy act was this? Takashi's initial statement alone had Amano backpedaling a step. Did she... not know about the kind of match this was? Even if she (or her friend, as Amano now learns) didn't suggest the specific stipulation it should be somewhat common knowledge that Amano's Kimodameshi's matches usually came with some strings attach. And even more ridiculous than seeing the comedy act was Takashi's attempts to bring things back to their original level of tension. And attempt... that completely failed as the crowd giggled and laughed at the display of the situation before them, along with Takashi's entourage back-talking her.

And Takashi arguing with said entourage.

...

...

...

*DING!*

And even as the bell rang, the argument still continued. And as tempting (and gods was it tempting) to deck Takashi to force her head into the game, the Demon decided to wait as the argument seemed to die down with the bell, along with Takashi's will to fight as she trudged herself over to the center of the ring in defeat. And Amano's expression soured at her words.

Who's... Rie?

The fact that Takashi brought out the name Princess likely meant Himeko, but the name Rie drew a blank in Amano's mind. No one she'd fought so far had the name, she kept a pretty good mental lock on everyone she fought. And the only person she fought that claimed to be holding back was...

She shook her head, narrowing her eyes at Takashi. That comedy act wasted enough time, and she wasn't going to waste more of it thinking on pointless idea. "Don't worry," Amano spat out. "I'll give you a worse memory after this!" And Amano immediately struck, moving her arms to snatch up Takashi's collar and pull her in for a sharp and sudden headbutt.A quick method to let out a bit of aggression from that damn comedy act the Demon had to witness.

It was time to turn this comedy bit into a fight scene.

[Terini]

When the bell ring Takashi won't even notice it as she would have been too busy arguing rather than paying attention to the match that she is going to have. The white hair giant attendant would have tried to open her mouth to warn Takashi about the fact that the bell ring but decided against it since it will be too much of a pain to warn Takashi about it. The white-haired giant would have looked at Amano as she raise her hand up to apologise that she had to see this comedic routine played out and thanks for not decking Takashi for not paying attention

After a while when the argument finishes and Takashi would have said her entire reasoning for picking Amano for her debut opponent but Takashi would have been slightly confused on why does Amano expression would have been soured when she mention Rie name, did something bad happened between the both of them? From the match, she thought both of them would have been at least civil at the very least. Tho Rie does have a bad habit of making a lot of enemies unintentionally back then...does she still have that habit even now?

"Did something happen between Rie and yo-" Her line would have been cut off suddenly when her collar would have suddenly pulled by Amano as she would have delivered a sudden headbutt toward her face causing Takashi to grunt in pain as she would have to stumble back for a moment. But Takashi would have quickly recovered as she would've grabbed a hold on Amano collar as Takashi would have pulled her in to deliver the exact same headbutt straight toward her face as revenge. When the headbutt connected Takashi would have pushed Amano away and taken a couple of steps back to create some spaces between the two of them "I guess this demon need to thought a lesson on manners" She would have said with a growl

[dlamp]

It made had did a bit of recoil damage, and it honestly only served to blow off some steam after dealing with that damn back-and-forth from the peanut gallery, but gods did that headbutt feet great. Cutting Takashi off was an honest bonus, but first blood always got her adrenaline up. The crowd winced at the sight of such of harsh strike to a clearly unprepared opponent, a few even hissing at Amano's harsh blow, but the Demon only snickered at the sight of Takashi reeling back. "Hah!"

But Takashi came back with a strike of her own. That one strike was all she need to get her head in the game, and immediately shook of the hit the give one in kind to Amano.

"Gna-!" The pain rocked Amano's skull. Takashi went tit-for-tat and struck Amano's head in turn. She staggered back, both from the pain and Takashi's shove, but despite her throbbing head she recovered after a few steps back. "Haaa..." She glanced Takashi's way, a smirk on her lips. The comedy act aside, the girl could take a hit and give one back. Maybe this wouldn't just be some random newbie that just flailed their fists around. This could be a fun fight. "You think I'm called a Demon 'cuz I'm nice?" She shot back, hands raised into a proper stance. "C'mon Taka-chan, lemme' show you how 'nice' I can be to a newbie!" She rushed forward, hands moving to grab Takashi by the wrist and toss her right over her shoulder for a quick hip toss.

[Terini]

Takashi would have let out a growl when the headbutt connected as the recoil when landing that headbutt is really annoying which is why she really hated headbutt but if she doesn't respond the same way as her opponent that it would have meant that she is backing down from a fight at least from her point of view "So what? you are only a lowly demon, I am the gatekeeper of the lowest floor of hell, treat your superior with respect!" Takashi would have shouted in reply as she would have dashed forward toward Amano straight on

This however would have gone poorly for her as she would have been grabbed by the wrist as she would have been thrown over Amano's shoulder quite easily, but rather than fighting against the momentum she would have gone with it, as Takashi would have let out a grunt of pain from the impact of her back making contact with the ground but she would have quickly recovered by rolling to her feet and Takashi would have quickly moved to counter-attack

Takashi would have rushed straight toward Amano as she would have moved to swing a slow and predictable hook toward Amano face that could easily be dodged or blocked unless her opponent is piss ass drunk. This is however is a trap as Takashi would have tried to divert Amano attention toward her hand that is coming toward her from above as she would have used her leg to try to trip Amano by the leg when she thought her opponent would have least expected. If Takashi manage to trick Amano and successfully trip her, she would have quickly changed her hook to try to grab Amano face to slam her straight toward the ground hard, to make her previous attack bait into an actual attack if successful

[dlamp]

Amano's face twisted to a wild grin as she latched onto Takashi's arm. The rush of throwing over an opponent with a decent throw and knocking them down was an adrenaline shot that had her nearly frothing at the thought of the damage it did. Takashi practically follow her movements right to the ground, and the impact had the crowd gasp and Amano snicker. I'm the gatekeeper here, newbie! The Demon thought, letting go of Takashi's arm to get a good look at her handiwork.

However, Takashi almost immediately sprang to life, Amano blinking in surprise. The hell? It seemed Amano wasn't the only one that used Aiki principles. It explained why the throw went so smooth and with little friction, Takashi was already prepped for it. And as Takashi barreled right for Amano with a wild and telegraphed punched she had her guard up.

Not for the punch itself, but for the feint.

Amano's eyes focused around Takashi's waist and core after a short glance at the incoming fist. Softening the impact of that throw already told Amano this was a skilled fighter, and an obvious punch like that from someone skill just screamed fake out. And she saw it, the leg going right for her ankle. "Nice try!" Amano's black and yellow eyes flashed as she lifted her leg, her foot hovering above Takashi's foot and shin before quickly shooting down right for the leg to kick Takashi back. You aren't faking out an Aikidoka, dumbass!

[Terini]

Takashi would have thought that someone that seems to be overconfident would have fallen to the bluff but it seems reality love to prove her wrong since Amano doesn't even fall for her fake for a single bit as Amano would have easily dodged her attempt to trip her down and immediately counter-attack by kicking her on her leg as the impact would have made Takashi flinch and fall down to her knee

It seems that her opponent is a skilled opponent after all and that is fantastic news for Takashi since that would mean beating her would mean that is one step closer to being the same levelled as 'her'. Takashi would have immediately grabbed a hold on Amano clothing with her arm that is previously used as a fake as she would have placed her other feet on Amano's stomach as she would have begun to pull Amano in her general direction to try to throw Amano with a circle throw

If this is successful, Takashi would have quickly rolled to her feet as she would have stood back up once more to look down on Amano both literally and figuratively "Rejoice, for you will be a nice stepping stone for me to climb even higher to reach Rie and that Princess of yours...I already got a better of her once or twice and after I win this, I will be one step closer to surpassing those two"
