L.A.W. - League of Anime Wrestling

Sakura was trapped, hurting all over, legs spread and left with little options. All at the hands of her friend, and as the seconds passed it became increasingly clear what she had to do. "Aghhh... I give I give just let go!" Sakura cried out, tapping her hand on Nanami's arm to signal her submission, desperate to be free of Nanami's hold!

Nanami let her go as the bell rang, signaling the end of the match. She posed for the audience, celebrating her win before going to Sakura to help her up.

Sakura panted in exhaustion, her face flushed with embarrassment, not sure how to process what had happened, let alone the fact that her own band mate had been the one to do it. Looking up at the hand offered it there was a mix of emotions flashed across her face. Confusion, apprehension, worry.

A part of her didn't want to, but reluctantly she would reach up and accept the hand offered by Nanami to her feet, but she would look at her, still a bit unsure. "Why.. Why did you treat me like that during the match? And.. and... How?" Sakura asked, wondering why Nanami had treated her the way she did during the match, and more importantly, how she was so skilled already.

"It was more so because I was still upset with you after you stayed at Berserk after beating Rio. It felt like you had betrayed us. And... it hurt. There was a reason YOU were chosen as the lead singer, and not Elena. And... Elena may have made up with you, but I still hadn't. That is, until now. I went to Elena, who taught me a few tricks to use against you. And now, since I beat you, and found why wrestling is as exciting as you and Elena make it out to be, I can safely say that now, I'm willing to forgive you."

Nanami offered Sakura her hand again, this time in the hopes of the two of them burying the hatchet and moving on.

Helped up to her feet and wobbling a bit Sakura would focus on Nanami as she spoke. Eyes widening in shock as she did so. A lot of it being a revelation to her that Nanami felt that way to begin with and that it got to this point. "My gosh... I.. I never knew Nanami I'm so sorry." Sakura said softly, shocked that she felt this way, but then a thought occurred. "Do Aika and Yuho feel that same way?" Sakura asked Nanami, the other members of Sweet Diva naturally probably having similar feelings as Nanami.

"Not to the same extent, no. Though they do want some help in designing possible attires for if they decide to join as well." she replied with an amused chuckle.
