Raquel Master vs. Asuka Hisashi II

[Highfly]

Raquel finished stretching backstage and appeared ready to go strutting around in her ring gear. However this match was unlike any other she had before.

She was sitting next to her opponent whom she happened to be dating. "Wish me luck." She said with a wink as she got up heading to the ramp. She didn't want to lose but she also hated seeing her opponent lose. Either way the match was sure to be fun based on how the first one went down.

As the young lady made her entrance she heard a good cheer from the crowd which was uplifting to say the least. She ran down the ramp and slid in the ring hopping around and climbing up a turnbuckle facing the crowd and trying to fire them up. Still she knew Asuka was the favorite in their hearts as well as the favorite of the oddsmakers.

This was going to be a lovely uphill battle.

Asuka was still changing when Raquel was called out to the ring. While her own outfit was far simplier and easier to put on than Raquel's rather fancy-looking design, Raquel had somehow managed to get ahead of her. It was a good thing she was to come out first, else there might've been some short delay in the opening before the audience got to see either girl.

When Raquel turned and announced her exit, Asuka spun around to deliver a hard slap on her partner's nicely-formed round backside, and giggling at the same time. "Why would I do that? Have you forgotten who you're fighting?" she teased, giving Raquel a wink while the American walked out of the room and went up to the top of the ramp to wait for her music.

The audience were excited for tonight's match, with Asuka's presence managing to hype them up a fair bit given she had just returned from a long break, and her new style and appearance were working out quite well with the LAW fanbase. As such, it was pretty easy for Raquel to rile them up and make them get pretty loud for her, even just on her own.

After a moment of Raquel being alone in the ring, Asuka's music hit and blared out across the arena to another eruption of cheering from the audience. The little Japanese lightweight made her way out into the light and smiled as she surveyed the packed arena, and then ran down the ramp and slid into the ring, standing up just next to Raquel before grabbing her partner's shoulders and dragging her in for a kiss. The audience definitely liked it, and the referee had to stop himself from intervening once he realised Asuka wasn't attacking Raquel.

Raquel embraced Asuka and the two eventually separated circling one another as the bell rang! Raquel stated down Asuka as she moved in, grinning the whole time.

Raquel tried to wrap her up in a grapple to start off! Both were close in size but Raquel was eager to put her new workout routine to the test!

[DizzyKnight]

Asuka's more hardcore fans would've noticed that she looked a fair bit slimmer than she had a month earlier, having lost a little weight to fit in with her new fighting style a little better. It wasn't too noticeable, and the typical LAW fan probably wouldn't notice unless they were looking at a side-by-side comparison.

As small a loss as it was, it turned out to have some effect on the match at least. When Asuka & Raquel's hands locked together in the middle of the ring, it seemed they were perfectly matched. For a few seconds anyway, and then Raquel started forcing Asuka to bend backwards.

In response, Asuka stepped one foot in between her opponent's legs to get herself some extra leverage, and managed to force Raquel's hands back up to a stalemate, grunting and moaning and squirming as she did.

[Highfly]

Raquel shook her head in shock as her advance was stopped and the two were even, and Asuka was even forcing her back a bit! "No way! You are good but not that good!" Raquel said as she stepped forward as well trying to regain her own leverage. Raquel began forcing them back once more to the starting position intent on keeping going until Asuka was arched totally back over her leg!

The entire time Raquel had her eyes locked on Asuka, a big smile on her face. "Getting sweaty in here is a bit different than the last time we were pressed up against each other huh?"

[DizzyKnight]

Asuka's cheeks flushed red once Raquel copied her movement, and the momentum shifted back against her. Being a fair bit lighter than her opponent, Asuka could do nothing to hold back her lover's powerful advance, and soon enough she was leaning back over the American woman's leg! She squirmed and grunted, her arms trembling as she put everything she had into trying to force her way back up, but Raquel barely budged.

A little more pushing, and Raquel managed to send the blonde girl down onto her back, her legs sliding out from under her as she lost her balance. Asuka would quickly raise her legs up after that, and try to get them around Raquel's waist for a pretty simple body scissor.

[Highfly]

"Ha! Gotch..Unnnngh!"

The body scissor caught Raquel off guard and she was in trouble! She couldn't use her arms to pry Asuka off of her, but she did have a few options open to her. Raquel looked at Asuka almost apologetically. "Sorry babe." She said as she reared back and tried to send a couple hard punches to Asuka's abdomen to soften her up enough to let her go! It wasn't the most elegant and Raquel did not particularly enjoy causing Asuka pain, but she respected Asuka enough to give it her all in the ring.

[DizzyKnight]

Asuka smirked up at Raquel once she felt her legs lock tightly into place. It was pretty clear that, even despite Raquel's superior build and muscles, she still was unable to open up Asuka's legs in the same way she had during their last meeting. The blonde continued to smirk, raising herself up onto her elbows to get a better grip and squeeze going.

Right as she did, Raquel's fist came down into the middle of her abdomen like a cannonball, and knocked her right back down, along with squashing all the air out of the Japanese fighter's lungs. Asuka immediately brought both arms up to guard, managing to catch and push Raquel's second punch off-target. Unfortunately, her sudden shift to defense took her focus away from the scissorhold, and if Raquel tried again she'd find it quite easy to break free.

[Highfly]

Raquel saw Asuka's reaction and dug her arms underneath Asuka's legs and forced them apart enough to escape the hold! She gasped for breath as she rose to her feet knowing Asuka would be close behind! Raquel readied herself and stepped up to Asuka spinning around and trying to catch Asuka in the face with a spinning heel kick! Asuka was a better striker but Raquel knew her own technique coupled with the oomph her hits packed may hit Asuka hard enough to throw her for a loop!

[DizzyKnight]

Asuka may not have been as good as Raquel on the ground, but she certainly excelled when it came to trading strikes. She quickly rolled back over and got onto her feet once Raquel backed off and did the same. She could tell her opponent had something planned based on the stance she took, and so brought her arms up ready to defend against it. Raquel came dashing forwards and made a flashy spinning kick at her lover's head! It would've been enough to leave Asuka seeing stars if it had landed, but Asuka managed to just barely duck under it by a couple inches, popping back up and rushing forwards herself to try and spear her girlfriend around the waist!
