L.A.W. - League of Anime Wrestling

Fashion Match: Both girls will fight in 5 different rounds using 5 different outfits one round ends when one of them gets pinned, submits or KO. The match ends after the 5 rounds.

Yume was stretching in the backstage, it wasn't her first long match since even her debut was a best of 7 falls, but this one felt a bit different. Not only because the objective of the match being to achieve good photos of her and her opponent not doing well in the fight but because even if she lost the first 4 rounds she needed to fought the last one anyway.

She knew her opponent, with Yume past as a bikini model it was impossible for her to don't know Yukari Takeba herself but it didn't scare her at all, she had a little approaching with the pinkette in the ring before, and even if she wasn't weak she wasn't s big star too, her confidence was even more boosted with the first round being the one she was more ready for.

"I missed my bikinis more than I expected... It's really comfortable and easy to wear one of them..."

Yume looked at her figure one last time before being called by the manager and the man who prepared this match, she followed him without a clue of the place the match will be done. "We are going to a ring???" Asked just for the boy in front of her to answer with a smile.

Spoiler

Yukari Takeba thought LAW often treated the line as a plaything, when it came to what they put their performers through for the sake of the consumer product. This "Fashion Match" as they were calling it, however, actually struck Yukari as a stroke of creative genius. Take two wrestlers with professional modeling experience, and effectively combine the two jobs into one.

Yukari would admit that she wasn't expecting to start in a bikini. She absolutely expected that the match would reach that point, but she had thought that the bikini's would be broken out for one of the middle rounds, and that the first round would be something closer to standard wrestling attire. It didn't bother Yukari, just subverted her expectations.

Bikini Yukari

The venue was also going to be non-standard as well, but that made sense to Yukari. It would drag down the match if they were in a standard ring, and they had to go swap wardrobes in and out from backstage, and set up someplace to change, and all that jazz. A custom arena built with this match type in mind was required to make it work. Yukari was being led out to her entrance by a stage hand. Possibly there to facilitate the outfits, but more likely an intern, by how young he looked. Definitely still a boy, not experienced enough to cover his enjoyment of being in such close proximity with a busty, bikini clad supermodel. This kind of thing naturally irritated Yukari, but she let it slide, on grounds of having more important things to worry about.

Just as Yume expected she ended up seeing a ring in the venue but the ring was just a little addition to the big venue she arrived, the mind behind this match idea was prepared for the occasion. The ring was in a corner of the big room but closer to the brunette she could see a big swimming pool even with it's own locker room, probably the people behind this match had the attires Yume and her opponent will need there, and finally she could see a bed. "Just how much money you used for this match???"
Asked a now a bit scared Yume just to be answered with a smile once again.

What was clear for the brunette was people behind this really wanted the match to success but no one asked her to use all the installations so she could just go to the ring and fought the entire match there even if she didn't care to use all the places LAW prepared for them. Thinking about it was pointless anyway since it was something she needed to discuss with Yukari, luckily enough in that same moment she could see her beautiful opponent in the door of the venue.

"You're as beautiful as always, Yukari." The fight will be a long one and at that point of her career still being a rookie Yume didn't care about being honest with their opponents and Yukari was in fact gorgeous, her bikini was all one could ask for and Yukari's body was just perfect for the one she was wearing. "They really set up a big one...I was wondering... Do you want to use what they prepared or we just go to the ring until the end??? I don't mind at all so I'll choose your choice!!"

Asked the smaller brunette still cheerful and a bit hyped about fighting with the beauty in front of her.

Yukari had been liking what she was hearing with the nature of the Fashion Match. But what Yukari would see when she entered the arena made her second guess. It looked like there were five different rings within the arena. Five rounds, five outfits, and she guessed there would be five different rings that they would switch between with each round and outfit. Maybe taking this a bit to far, if you asked her.

"Hey Yume," Yukari said as she was greeted by her opponent. "You're looking great too. Glad to see that you're a fellow appreciator of the jean bikini combo." With the introductions out of the way, the actress would nod along as she heard that Yume had similar uncertainties to her about the five different rings.

"I get where you're coming from," Yukari began. "But the higher ups wouldn't have placed us in an arena like this if they didn't expect us to use it. If we just reject it and fight all five rounds in the basic ring, then it'll probably cause more trouble for us in the long term than it's worth." Yukari let out a puff of air before continuing, "Guess we should head for the pool, then."

Yume pouted not sure of how she'll survive to the fans if she ended up losing the five rounds with different attires in different places, but she knew Yukari was right. "Yeah... I get what you say." putting her right hand on her face trying to avoid her bad feelings the brunette finally convinced herself. "We should start as soon as we can, this will be a long one, we will have time to talk during and after the match, whatever happens good luck, Yukari."

Yume offered her hand combed with a kind smile, they both wearing a similar outfit and they both knew nothing about this, maybe the busty brunette was a bit nervous too. After offering her hand Yume started walking to the swimming pool, not jumping on it but stopping on the edge. Once she was in position the brunette talked with the boy who walked with her to this place. "Should we wait for a bell or???"

"Start when you want, there's no bell and there's no referee!! You'll need to count your own pinfalls and you can ignore DQs if you want, changing to the next outfit after one fall is the only rule you need to follow! We will be filming your epic match!"

Yume wasn't sure if she was happy about the answer, this people prepared this TOO MUCH.

The pool that Yukari and Yume were expected to fight in wasn't what most people thought of when they thought of a pool that people wrestled in. The kiddie pool where one tackle had you halfway falling out of the thing, with barely ankle high water. No, this was more like a public pool. A rectangular hole carved out of concrete, deep as a basketball hoop was tall, and filled with water.

"What the hell are they thinking," Yukari said, her opinion on this match now having officially soured. No chance in hell she was fighting outside the pool. Even if they agreed not to do throws or slams, the models would be lucky to not crack their skulls open trying to wrestle on concrete. So, Yukari dove in, and swam to the center of the pool. Of course, that had its own glaring issue. In match fought in water deep enough that neither girl would probably touch the pool's floor, holding your opponent underwater until they were KOed suddenly was a viable strategy, in a ring where you can't force shoulders to the floor for a pinfall. And Yukari didn't need to be told how that could go horribly wrong.

Hopefully this would just end in a submission, on way or the other, so nobody was unconscious out in the middle of a deep pool. Even with that, if somebody's upper body was submerged, and they wanted to give up, you can't say it. No guarantee that there's anything to physically tap out on either. How did this ever get approved, Yukari thought as thing after thing that could go disastrously wrong ran through her head.

Scared and worried about who thought this match was a good idea Yume found some comfort when her opponent seemed to thought exactly the same, swimming to the middle of the pool trying to avoid some major injuries fighting on the concrete. "Thanks God I'm fighting you and not any brain-dead bratty."

Yume followed her opponent swimming close to her, noticing how the cameras weren't only out of the pool but on it too, this match was really calculated for the people who built it. The brunette finally reached the middle of the swimming pool, close enough to Yukari to touch eachother. "I can't believe what we are doing but we need to do it, let's try to have a good one Yukari, let's try to don't hurt eachother more than required, I have a really bad feeling about this match."

The brunette whispered that last part, avoiding any of the staff members to listen her trying to find Yukari's complicity.

Yukari nodded subtly when when Yume suggested holding back a bit. "Yeah. This could get so ugly so easy if we aren't careful," she said. "You know, I was really excited for this at first. The premise seemed so interesting. But the further this goes, the worse it seems to get." Yukari shook her head. "The worst part is that I still fully believe that this could be so cool if they didn't go so overboard with it."

Unable to stall any longer, Yukari took her approximation of an aquatic wrestling stance. Legs treading water as she held her arms out in front of her. Either girl would have to swim to reach the other with any speed, but that would occupy at least one arm that they'd rather be attacking or guarding with. Maybe if Yukari could swim around Yume, she could find a safe opening. But the only good options seemed to be either playing defensively, or if the both of them slowly floated towards each other until they could lock up.

"There's still 4 more rounds...Maybe next ones are a bit better... Maybe."The girl in front of her couldn't be more right about absolutely everything, both girls were really excited with the match until they realised this mortal trap, but even with that they were here and the match officially started so they needed to fight.

Yume and Yukari weren't stupid so both reached the same conclusion, trying to attack first seemed like a fatal error so both girls played defensively, slowly approaching each other because of the water surrounding them, the brunette didn't want to lose the battle of speed so when they were closer she started to use one of her legs, swinging in the water trying to hit Yukari first knowing one single advantage could be too much on that situation.

Yukari saw as Yume tried to go for a kick, but hydrodynamics weren't exactly on Yume's side. One's body could move quickly in water if they were cutting through it, but kicks didn't exactly do that. To launch a kick in water was to try to push your leg through so much water that the resistance would slow your leg to the point of the kick coming in at slow motion with no power.

In fact, Yume's kick may come to worse than nothing for her, as directing Yukari's focus downwards gave her an idea. The actress would dive into the water, planning to swim under Yume to get behind her. Then as she came back up, Yukari would try to grab Yume's legs and pull them up with her. If Yukari succeeded, as Yume's legs went up, her upper body would naturally move down. As Yukari would come up, legs in grasp, Yume's stomach would be lying on the water's surface.

But if Yukari did get this far, she would have to think on the fly. Fighting against the water to lock in a Figure Four Leglock would make it too slow, and Yukari doubted the buoyancy of that position anyways. A Boston Crab had no solid surface to pin Yume against beneath her butt. So Yukari would settle on something simple that she knew the conditions wouldn't ruin: an Ankle Lock.
