But the common through-line between all of these was an obsession in and of itself, one that held a special place in her heart -- Satsuki's incessant desire to be better than her peers.
Her match against Claudia Augustina had shown Satsuki that she still had a ways to go. Claudia's experience had exposed her own shortcomings as a wrestler, plain as day. But more than that, her showdown with the Symbol of Love had given her a taste of lewd combat in its rawest form. Satsuki had stepped up to the plate and offered herself as the ultimate wager -- but was found wanting.
That wouldn't do. So, as she would to better any other aspect of her fighting ability, Satsuki went to LAW's impressive gymnasium. As with many things, though, she didn't just want to go about it the easy way. Surely, she could find a sparring partner for a hentai match, and she was never wanting for a casual hookup, thanks to her countless hours spent in nightclubs perfecting that little song and dance.
But Satsuki didn't want a sparring partner or a hookup. She wanted a training dummy.
And some time ago, she'd found one. A pretty little number with white hair and purple eyes, not to mention a body that would make for a wonderful canvas upon which to practice her nascent art. With the players decided, then, it was time for Satsuki to start the first phase of their game. It wouldn't be enough to just approach her and flirt the girl into her bed. After all, desire was a core part of seduction. Indeed, she wanted to make that girl hers, wholesale in body and mind. If only for one night.
Instead, Satsuki had spent the last several weeks planting the seeds. Intentionally getting caught sneaking a glance at her quarry from across the gym. Then looking away with a pink-faced giggle, like a schoolgirl on a playground. Then being actually sneaky, observing her in the minutes and hours that followed to gauge her reaction.
Today, she had just finished her workout -- a grueling half-hour session of hopping up one of the gym's rock-climbing treadmills while wearing wrist and ankle weights. Satsuki didn't even mean to run into the girl, but there she was. She repeated the motions, glancing at her before looking away and burying her face in her towel.
Beneath the wicking fabric, she smirked deviously. Was today the day her curiosity would get the best of her? The day Satsuki's sirens song might finally be heard?
Satsuki Hayano, the Queen of Clubs
