Akiha vs. Traci: Strap Match Round 2

Akiha had managed to bring the ropes around her opponent neck and was now cutting off her air supply. Hearing and seeing her opponent attempting to grasp for air was like being in heaven, well perhaps not heaven but it was still exhilarating. Though she would not enjoy this moment for long as she was forced to let go when she was hit by an elbow strike to the gut. “Gah!” stated the raven hair wrestler as her stomach was still healing from the brutal beating she had taken from Amy who had gone out of her way to attack her gut. She would take a few steps back while holding her stomach.

Traci took in a huge gasp of relief as her neck was freed, coughing a bit while trying to gulp down some oxygen. Glancing over her shoulder, she could see Akiha nursing her belly, although maybe a bit much considering the green-haired woman hadn't landed that hard of a hit. A recent injury, perhaps? Exactly the kind of thing Traci would want to take advantage of.

Forcing herself back to her feet, Traci turned around and rushed Akiha head-on, ducking low and trying to spear her gut, aiming to ram the Japanese wrestler back against the ropes.

Akiha would hold her stomach, cursing under her breath for the beating she had taken from Amy. She would attempt to regain her focus and look at her opponent. Yet as she did she would see Traci coming at her. The raven hair wrestler didn't have any time to react and was speared in the gut. “GAH!” yelled the Japanese wrestler as she hit her mat. It seemed that her opponent was also now targeting her stomach. This was going to be a hard match with her stomach injury still not having fully recovered and with the constant attacks now she was going to be feeling the pain. For now, she would hold her stomach once again while laying on the ground.

Traci scrambled back to her feet, quickly trying to capitalize on her opening. It definitely looked like Akiha was feeling that one. Whoever it was that pummeled the Japanese woman's belly, Traci was feeling a bit thankful towards them right now.

Bending over, the green-haired beauty grabbed Akiha by the hair with both hands, viciously trying to yank her to her feet. It would have been a perfect time to repay the low blow from earlier, but considering the rules were stricter this time, and the ref being directly behind her, Traci was going to have to behave. Or at least as close as it got with her, anyway.

Attempting to then grab Akiha around the waist, Traci would then lift her up into a fireman's carry position. Then, pushing her up just a little bit, the green-haired woman would drop down to one knee and try to drop Akiha down into a cruel gutbuster.

Akiha stomach was hurting, part of her felt like she was going to puke. Luckily she had not eaten before the match, in fact, she usually never did just in case something like this happened. Though in the end it was still a bad position as her stomach was still killing her and her opponent seemed to know this. The Japanese wrestler would need to create her own weakness to even the odds or perhaps use her own stomach pains to her advantage, like leading Traci into a trap.

Yet before she could come up with such a plan, she would feel her hair being pulled in a painful manner, forcing her back on her feet. Though she would not remain on her feet long as she was lifted up into a fireman carry position. Akiha eyes would widen as she realized she was in trouble. Before she could attempt a counter attack, Traci would drop her down into a gut buster, causing her to gasp for air as she held her stomach. It seemed this match was going to be a tough one for her.

Traci watched on with sadistic glee as Akiha writhed in pain, pressing her foot down against the Japanese woman's face. "Trying to fight me while injured? Look like someone got too cocky~"

After rubbing it in for a while, the green-haired woman would lift her foot up and instead bring it stomping down on Akiha's chest. "You should feel lucky I'm not that single-minded, though~ There are lots of parts of you I want to play with!"

The raven hair was gasping for air as she held her stomach. Dealing with pain was one thing but humiliation was something which Akiha hated. Well if Traci wanted to make her mad she was doing a great job at it by placing her foot on the Japanese girl face. The idea of biting her foot entered the raven hair girl mind. Just as she was about to do so, her opponent would then stomp her chest. Getting tired of this abuse, Akiha would use her hand to grab the rope and give it a pull, trying put her opponent off balance.

Though Traci landed her stomp, Akiha still wasn't out of the match yet, as she gave their connecting rope a rough tug. Jerked off-balance, Traci staggered rather gracelessly to the side, just barely managing to grab onto the ring ropes to stay upright.

"Tch... Quite a tricky one, aren't you..."

Akiha tactic had worked, her opponent had been thrown off balance and sent to the ropes.  This was what she needed a moment to just get back into the match.  She knew that Traci would not waste any time and thus she quickly back to her feet, ready to get back into the match.  The raven hair wrestler would keep a tight grip on the strap, knowing that her opponent might try to return the favor by pulling the strap.  “Intelligence is an important part of wrestling.” responded Akiha in her usually professional tone.

Not wanting to rush in hastily, Traci waited as Akiha got back to her feet, maintaining her pleasant facade. "Is it now? It doesn't seem very intelligent to step into ring while injured, does it~?"

A bit more conscious of the strap now, the green-haired clenched her end close, not wanting to have it get used against her anymore. If Akiha was going to make that much use of it, it was likely she was ready for having it used against her, but Traci wasn't going to fall for that. Raising her arms defensively, she cautiously approached her foe, trying to send a low kick to Akiha's thigh and hopefully create an opening to strike.
