A War of Pride: Sakura Hagiwara vs Noelle Silva III

[Bare]

Despite it all, all the insults and humiliating moments and how much she genuinely didn't like Noelle... Sakura would at least admit that the girl was a pretty damn good kisser. So as they kissed.... Sakura did find herself at least somewhat enjoying the impromptu make out session Noelle had instigated between the two.

Well the fact Sakura was also squeezing the crap out of Noelle's waist was also a nice bonus. In spite of this however it was all still a match, and Noelle was about to take it up a notch when her hands closed around Sakura's throat in a literal choke hold! "Gack!" Gagging in pain Sakura would only be able to glare at Noelle as she taunted her.

'Dammit!' Sakura thought to herself desperately from the painful constriction around her neck, shortening her air supply and knowing she had to do something. 'Have too... use my... head!' Sakura thought to herself as her hands slid up from Noelle's waist to grab a handful of each of Noelle's twin ponytails. If successful than Sakura would pull down, while pushing her head up as much as she could too HEADBUT Noelle with everything she could to make the girl let go!

Noelle was a bit extra proud of this one. Sakura may have won the bearhug battle, but the princess had gotten her back in the kissing battle. After, you can't return a kiss if you're in the middle of getting choked. And so, Noelle had a smug grin on her face as she felt the idol release her bearhug. Hmm, she thought. I can't defend without releasing my chokehold. Let's see what she tries, I'm sure that I'll be able to counter whatever she can throw at me from this position.

With Noelle allowing Sakura's attack for the sake of her own, the idol took advantage by grabbing Noelle's twin tails. If the idol pulled them out, it would sting of course, but Noelle could handle it. The Spaniard recognized the real threat of her head being pulled down into Sakura's. It wouldn't make for too nasty of a headbutt, but it would be enough to return the advantage to Sakura. Something Noelle had no plans to allow.

Noelle pushed down on Sakura's neck to keep her head down, while pulling her own head up to stop the idol's attack. But still, "AHH!" getting one's hair yanked was quite painful.

But Noelle wouldn't have to suffer that for long. Her neck was like a loaded spring, and she would unleash that force right onto Sakura. Noelle would throw her head down herself along with Sakura's pulling. If her aim was true, Noelle's forehead would land right on the bridge of Sakura's nose. Bleed it, break it, Noelle didn't care. It was a money shot and she wanted it. If it worked, Noelle would throw herself forward onto an undoubtedly daze Sakura and try to get a quick three count to put her rival away early.

Sakura had a doubled edged strategy in place to try and escape the excruciating predicament she was in right now. That strategy being to pull Noelle by her damned ponytails right into Sakura's skull for a vicious headbut that would hopefully knock the girl through a loop and get her off long enough for Sakura to recover for a second and figure out a way to try and take Noelle down for good.

But somehow Noelle had found a way to counter what Sakura was doing. Despite her best effort to pull Noelle down the silver haired girl managed to keep her neck up while forcing Sakura's head down thanks to the hands around her throat. All until... "GAH!" Noelle finally released her stay and dropped down, bashing her head into Sakura's head, right on her nose no less sending her head through a loop instead of Noelle's!

"Ugh..." Moaning softly Sakura felt a change in weight as Noelle's body crossed over Sakura's own, something that even if she were half conscious Sakura knew what it meant. Gritting her teeth as the ref dropped down and yelled "ONE!" Sakura would push her body up, lifting her shoulders off the mat and pushing Noelle off of her to break the pin!

Immediately Sakura would roll away from the position, knowing that if she stayed there she would only be a sitting duck for Noelle. Swinging her legs under her and getting to a kneeling position Sakura would glare up at Noelle. "Ha... ha.. Nice try." Sakura would say with a glare towards her rival.

[deezcastforms]

Noelle knew that her pin attempt was going off of Sakura being momentarily stunned as opposed to being genuinely incapacitated, so the fact that the idol quickly escaped wasn't unexpected, but frustrating nonetheless. "I doubted someone as resilient as yourself would lose to that," said Noelle. "But it was worth a shot in case I hit your nose just right."

What Noelle had told Sakura at the beginning of the match was true. With her defeat long enough ago, and with her own turn at crushing Sakura, she truly didn't carry spite for Sakura anymore, and was here out of a competitive drive to settle the rivalry in her favor. Though, considering that the idol's wounds were much fresher, along with the basic human nature of wanting the last laugh in a feud, which Sakura currently did not have; the princess suspected that the middleweight may not be so at piece with the situation as Noelle was.

Sakura had gotten to a more defendable kneeling position, and looked to Noelle as if she wanted to recover more than anything. With Sakura putting the onus on Noelle to keep up her pressure, the Spaniard chose to charge like a bull. But there was a plan to it, of course. With Sakura kneeling, her head was slightly above Noelle's knees. Meaning that the princess could perform a running knee by simply running into Sakura. The running motion would do the work. Though she wasn't sure what Sakura might be able to do to defend. If it worked, Noelle would run past Sakura as she bowled the idol over with her knee. Then she would backflip and body splash down onto the idol.

Sakura glared at Noelle who stood across from her. Despite the early pinfall Sakura refused to stay down, her classic never say die attitude coming through for her and enabling the dark haired beauty to successfully fend the silver haired girl off... For now. But It was clear Noelle was using everything in her bag of tricks to try and overcome Sakura, not that the idol could blame her.

After all in much the same way Sakura would be doing the same. She hadn't been this fired up to beat anyone since Rio and given the way the rematch between the two girls went Sakura was eager to force Noelle into accepting defeat. Plus witht the stakes on the line tonight, Sakura knew that she couldn't afford to lose, so despite the disadvantage off the bat, she would do her best to fight back at Noelle and take that lead back. All while getting revenge for the humiliation she took in their rematch in the process.

So seeing Noelle come running in Sakura nodded. 'Just as I expected. No way she would pass up a chance to hit me while in this position.' The girl thought to herself as she tensed her body in preparation for what she had planned. Counting on Noelle's opportunistic side Sakura would wait, and the moment the girl came close enough Sakura would spring up! Turning on her heel and spinning around behind the princess. As she did so Sakura's arms would snap around the girl's waist before she could get too far. If successful than Sakura would throw herself back, attempting to reverse all of Noelle's momentum and send her backwards to crash into the mat with a german suplex!

[deezcastforms]

When Noelle charged Sakura, she hoped that her attack would succeed without issue, but that would've been overly optimistic to actually expect. She figured that the idol would defend herself in some way or another. What Noelle had not expected in the slightest was for Sakura to shoot up, spin behind and grab the princess clean out of her charge.

"How in the- GAH!" Noelle was cut off when Sakura suplexed her into the mat. The worst shots were the ones that you didn't see coming, and Noelle sure as hell hadn't seen this suplex coming. Her body bounced up off of the mat and she landed facedown, and would be stunned for a few moments before she could start picking herself back up.

But Noelle didn't have a few moments. Her mind started thinking before her body started moving, and the princess's brain was filled with worries of what Sakura would do to her next. Would the idol simply come crashing down onto her back? Would Sakura pick Noelle back up herself and then slam her back down? Or would she put Noelle through a body bending submission hold?

[Bare]

Sakura had started this match relatively on the back foot. Sure she had managed to win the impromptu bearhug contest but ever since that Sakura had found herself on the bottom position between herself and Noelle, quite literally no less! Something that Sakura knew she couldn't allow to remain for long.

So as the silver haired girl ran in towards her Sakura would flip around, using Noelle's own lead against her in order to catch the girl out of the air. Something that as she did so she would drop back, swinging Noelle in turn and spiking the princess down into the mat with a brutal german suplex! The impact of it reverberating all through the ring!

As she landed the move Sakura would look down at Noelle with a fierce determined look on her face as she knew exactly what to do next. Seeing Noelle begin to rise Sakura would throw her leg up straight in the air before dropping it down for a massive axe kick to Noelle's spine!

If she managed the strike than Sakura would shift her feet to stand on the back of Noelle's thighs. Something that if succesful she would bend down, grabbing the girl's legs and lifting them up, crossing them over her legs. If she managed it then Sakura would also bend now and grab Noelle's wrists. If she managed to do so than Sakura would gradually pull herself backwards, eventually aiming to pull Noelle up and push her into the air with a ceiling hold!

[deezcastforms]

Well, Noelle had her answer: crashing down onto her back AND body bending submission. The idol's heel slammed straight down onto Noelle's spine, forcing her back down to the floor when she had only begun to get back up. "OW!" yelled the princess. Them, with her hand holding her back, Noelle felt Sakura stand on her thighs and start wrapping her legs up. Noelle realized Sakura was going for and knew that she had to avoid it.

"No! I won't let you!" Noelle stretched her arms out past her head. If Sakura couldn't get to her arms, then she couldn't lock into a ceiling hold. But that didn't mean that Sakura would give up. The idol was able to reach and grab Noelle's shoulders, and use that to pull back Noelle's arms into her grip. "NO! Stop, stop! No!" Noelle cried out as she was gotten.

With Sakura overcoming Noelle's defensive attempt, the Spaniard could do nothing more to stop the idol from rolling her up into a ceiling hold. "AHHHH!" screamed Noelle as she was lifted up into the air. Her silver hair reached down towards Sakura beneath her while her chest bounced with each tug on her arms. The ceiling hold was nasty in how escape was completely dependent on the attacker. It was incredibly painful, as well as immobilizing. It's only weakness was its difficulty to maintain. But for as long as Sakura had the strength to keep her ceiling hold up, Noelle could only endure. And even once it was over, Sakura would be at an advantage to put Noelle into something else.

[Bare]

'Oh this feels good.' Sakura thought to herself as she held Noelle aloft in the air above her, trapping her in the fabled ceiling hold. In doing so Sakura was earning scream after scream of both fear and agony from the silver haired girl as she kept the move in effect for brutal results! After all that Noelle had done to Sakura in their reach and the start of this match it was a perfect revenge for the dark haired girl as she kept her up in the air.

There was a problem however. Namely that Sakura's arms were already beginning to shake from exertion as she held Noelle's frame above her. 'Grr.. knew I should have upped by upper arm training.' Sakura thought, her legs being perfectly fine as opposed to her arms which were already sore.

But if nothing else she had the perfect way to follow this move up. Namely she just released her grips on Noelle's arms to allow the girl to fall back onto Sakura's bountiful chest. Though the moment Noelle's head landed Sakura's arms would snap up, looking to wrap around Noelle's neck for a sleeper hold. At the same time Sakura would keep her legs held up, tangled with Noelle's as the idol would aim to pull the princesses legs apart. So if all went well Sakura would continue to humiliate the girl by exposing her with the leg spread as well as with the bouncing of her breasts, all while trying to put her to sleep!

[deezcastforms]

"AHH!" Noelle continued to cry out while she was stuck in Sakura's ceiling hold. Release couldn't come fast enough for her, as her back was getting worked. The princess could not have been more relieved once she felt the idol's arms beginning to shake and waver as they continued to hold her up. But Noelle's relief would be short lived, as before her head could even bounce up of of Sakura's breasts, the idol had her arms wrapped around the Spaniard's neck.

"GAH! A-KAH!" Noelle's screams turned into gagging and sputtering once Sakura shifted to a chokehold to ease the strain on her arms. The idol also spread Noelle's legs apart, but the princess couldn't care less. Her back still hurt like hell and now she was getting choked out. Noelle didn't know what to do either, as she had never been put in this hold after a ceiling hold before.

Noelle grabbed and pulled at Sakura's arms with her hands to no avail. She reached up and to the sides as she squirmed to try to get free. Sakura's face was turning a deep red when the realization had finally hit her; Sakura wasn't holding her arms anymore. She'd been using them out of reflex and desperation, but it hadn't quite hit her at a conscious level that they were free.

It was almost funny how obvious the solution was now. Noelle threw her elbows back, over and over again until she was freed or asleep. If she was released, Noelle wouldn't be in position to strike, she needed to recover. So, she would try to just get to the opposite side of the ring to get as much time as possible until she had to engage once more with her rival.
