Another Familiar Face, Another Lasting Problem

[TheManVan]

Makoto was really going hard on this speech of hers that it was rattling Reiko, there was some truth of what she said but it wasn't just a couple of losses. Reiko had suffered humiliation after humiliation over the course of a couple of months, losing matches she should've have lost or lost so badly as she did. She was sick of it, she was sick of letting herself down, she was sick of letting people down! That's why it had to be this way, there could only be victory for her!

Her face twisted in fury, she would shove Makoto away, she was done with this. "Grah! Get away from me, I don't need you!" she shouted out as she quickly turned around on her heel and huffed off. There was an important fight she needed to win and she couldn't afford to get distracted.

[Roy (abracy)]

To be fair to Makoto, she didn't know that she was suffering that badly as Reiko didn't exactly tell her about what was happening. Only of what she had become now. Even if she did she would have still said something similar, she never even really felt what it's like to lose and suffer humiliation after humiliation nor does she imagine it to be as bad as she thought it would be.

Makoto was shoved and she saw that was walking away, she can't let her not while she still needs help. Makoto grabbed onto Reiko's shoulder tightly and looked intensely at her "Where do you think you're going? I said I would be giving you some help and I WILL! I don't care if I have to drag you back to my place, you are NOT running away from me Reiko!"

[TheManVan]

Reiko was done with the conversation, she didn't want to hear more of this nonsense that was only angering her with the innocent truth. But she wasn't like that anymore, she wasn't the woman who stood respected because she didn't give a damn about respect. She was going to be as ruthless and relentless as it took until she stood at the top of the pile to prove herself in her own way.

However, Makoto was not done with her as she grabbed at her shoulder, Reiko's eyes darting to the hand as she gritted her teeth as she immediately turned around and planted both of her hands into Makoto and gave a violent shove! 'I'm fucking warning Makoto, get away from me!"

[Roy (abracy)]

Makoto believed that even though that Reiko has taken a dark path, she can be led back into the right path. All this needs is some determination and possibly some forceful actions to get things started on her being on the right path again. She was violently shoved and she heard the warning but she's not going to listen to the warning though. She looks at Reiko with her determined eyes.

"I said I was going to give you some help whether you like it or not so I'm going to do just that! What are you going to do anyways!? Beat me into a bloody pulp!?" Makoto tries to grab Reiko's arm and pull her to try to force her to come with her.

[TheManVan]

Reiko glared with angry eyes at Makoto as she continued to push her buttons, all of this frustration that was within her continued to grow and grow the more she heard Makoto preach, trying to reach out to the woman she was. She failed to realize that Reiko Hinomoto was dead and never coming back as called out Reiko about her threat as her fist tightened.

Her expression went dark as she focused her heated gaze onto Makoto. She didn't say a word as she lifted her fist up and swung it at Makoto's pretty face.

[Roy (abracy)]

Makoto was also getting very frustrated with Reiko being stubborn like and not allowing her to be helped by one of her long time friends. She refuses to believe that the old Reiko Hinomoto is dead and that she's not coming back nor that Makoto has to just accept this new Reiko Hinomoto to replace the old one.

Makoto didn't anticipate the fist being swung at her as she was too focused on dragging her back. She got punched and that forced her to let go and she stumbled back a little. She held her cheek as she looks to Reiko with the same determined gaze "What? Is that it? Aren't you going to keep going? Or maybe the old Reiko that I know and love is still in there somewhere and you don't realize it or don't want to admit it!"

[TheManVan]

A hard punch to the face, Reiko thought that would be it to force Makoto to leave her alone, and right as she was about to turn away and wipe her hands clean of this nonsense, she heard Makoto bark out again. She turned her head back at Makoto with a violent glare as her teeth gritted together. She was completely fine with letting Makoto off with a single punch, but the Judoka continued to push her luck until it ran out.

Reiko immediately turned and would grab Makoto by her collar as she pulled her head back attempting to deliver a painful headbutt crashing right into Makoto's face! "You could've walked away and saved yourself a beating! Now you're going to get it bad Makoto!" she screamed out!

[Roy (abracy)]

Makoto got grabbed by her collar and got hit by the painful headbutt, crashing into her face. She held her nose for a few seconds as she glares at her back. "You're actually going to give me a beating before going to your important match with Candy Cane? Fine then, go ahead and pummel into the ground for that I won't fight back at all." She goes to grab Reiko's collar on her leather jacket "You have to remember this Reiko, Aigle is going to come after you rather I want her to or not. This isn't a threat, it's a warning you should listen to. Aigle is going to challenge you and make her attempt into changing you back to the way you were before this, back to the old Reiko so we can all be friends again. We care about you too much to just accept this"

[TheManVan]

Reiko grunted out as she slammed her head against Makoto's, looking up as she wanted to see if Makoto still wanted to deal with her. To her great displeasure, that was still the case as the Jukoda seemed to be even more determined than ever if anything, saying that she could beat her down into the ground without resistance and even brought her little friend Aigle into the mix, saying that she was going to have to deal with her later. Reiko remembered Aigle, the stout power of an Asian from Mongolia who was known for her strength despite her petite stature.

But Reiko didn't care, she didn't care how many Roses she had to cut in order to stake herself free on her past and embrace the Cobra she had become. "I don't fucking care! You can bring that bimbo here and I'll crush her like I will Candy!" she shouted out as Makoto grabbed onto her collar, opening up her leather jacket even more as she would attempt to swat the hand off of her jacket and quickly tried to slam her fist into the side of Makoto's face to stagger her before gaining another grip of that gi to try and swing her into a vending machine!

[Roy (abracy)]

Makoto knows that Aigle isn't going to be happy of the damage that Reiko is inflicting on her so when that eventual inevitable match starts up then Aigle is going to be training and fighting harder than ever before. While she said that she won't put up any resistance when it comes with fighting is concerned, that doesn't entirely mean that she'll stop talking immediately.

Makoto has confidence that Aigle will be able to beat Reiko in any match that they'll be in. Her hands were swatted away by Reiko and she would staggered back by the fist. She would be grabbed by Reiko only to be swung and thrown into a vending machine, this is really hurting her though she can tough it out. She gets up to talk to her a little bit more "I would like to see you try to beat her, you should know that her immense strength is nothing to scoff at."
