Niko took a very big breath in preparation for her upcoming match. It was against Yukari, a woman that she had quickly grown to respect and like over the course of a day. Granted maybe one of the worst days of her career in LAW thus far. All thanks to an absolute ass hate of a photo shoot director. Yukari was the bright spot that day, supporting Niko and offering her comfort after the wretched shoot was over, buying her lunch and even offering this match with the following wager to it. None of it was anything she had to do but she did it anyway and Niko loved and respected that from the woman.
All of that being said. As much as Niko liked and appreciated Yukari for all she did for her, it didn't change one important fact. That being that no matter what she was going to win this bout today. Not because she wanted too, but because she had too. To prove herself and her potential that Tiki saw in her and that she was NOT a jobber anymore. The fact that if she won then she'd get to add a photo of her doing a victory post to LAW magazine as a challenging response to the damaging shoot that started all this would be icing on the cake.
Nodding to herself as she heard her entrance music start up Niko would look up and pound her fists together before heading out of the backstage area and to the entrance ramp. Immediately Niko would receive a renewed chorus of cheers in response to her arrival. Smiling and posing with her hands out in the air Niko would wave her hands about and indicate for the fans to cheer more which they did. Especially since she was showing off in her still relatively new ring gear which definitely had the crowd appreciating her a bit more than normal.
Strutting down the ring with a little sway to her hips Niko would look confident as could be, her bust also bouncing with each step she took. This match was important, and she wanted to feel important every step of the way down to the ring. Upon actually getting there however Niko would sober up a bit. Hopping onto the ring apron with a serious expression before stepping between the ropes and walking up to face her opponent...
Before quickly reaching out to hug Yukari!
"Thank you thank you thank you again for this match Yukari! You're the best!" Niko cried out excitedly, bouncing in place as she hugged the woman, unable to contain her excitement despite how important the situation was.
