Description: Benimaru and Hinako team up against Sakura and Kyoko for a fight on the top of a moving train! (Winners: Sakura and Kyoko)
.. Does anyone even know where this train is going? Probably not. And onlookers are probably disappointed because it isn't like they can lean out of the window to see what's going on, but people standing on the platform can at least get a good view of the fighters getting ready.
If cargo's being loaded, it's loaded, and the people who are forced to board have no choice to board- Four fighters, however, will be riding a very special seat. A stairwell that would be used for boarding an airplane is centered to the middle cart of the 9 car train, people cheering and clearing the way. The first stepping out of the station is Benimaru Nikaido, whom gets an explosion of screeches, howling, nervous breakdowns and the occasional Aresenio Hall woof, the blonde taking three steps and then leaps the rest of the way up.
He's dressed as one might expect, a navy-blue tube-top around his chest and dark bluejeans with a flashy belt and black boots. Worn over the ensamble is a black leather trenchcoat, his hair pulled up into two pigtails and is snapping some gum. His fight hand tightens into a fist, crackling lightly with elecrtical energy, and his throws his arm outward, back to the crowd as bolt bolt of lightning crashes around the model, getting an even greater response from the crowd. Oh god, the fame. Its intoxicating.

Well, surely =someone= knows. Maybe it's just going around in a circle! But Sakura Kasugano doesn't really care, she's here to fight! ... And considering the colder weather, and the fact that the wind will be blowing, she's changed her outfit accordingly. Just for kicks, she's wearing an outfit she'd gotten for an earlier match -- a blue Chinese blouse, sleeveless with a high collar, and matching baggy pants. She'd left the swords at home though. There is such a thing as overkill, after all.
Smiling up at Benimaru as she ascends the stairs, she snaps him a quick salute. "So we meet again, Mr. Nikaido!" She gives him a quick wink -- something happened that she -wants- to tell him, but doesn't feel she should with all the cameras about.

Well now... Hinako Shijou has certainly been in more than a few fights before. This is, however, her first time to participate in such a high profile event, and she's a little bit nervous. She's not entirely sure what it would be appropriate to wear, so she's decided to go with the uniform she wears at school; purple dress with bloomers underneath (sorry guys, no fanservice from her today), and a matching beret. On her back is the backpack in which she carries her fighting supplies, like the purple kneepads she's slipped into, and the tape which she finished wrapping around her fingers shortly before arriving at the train station.
Waving a little nervously to the crowd, Hinako walks up toward the train, looking around at all the people. It's a little unsettling at first, but then she brightens up. She'll have a chance to show all these people the grace and beauty of sumo! Not to mention getting a chance to fight against some people who will surely have great skills of her own. She perks up after that, skipping a little bit until she reaches the stairwell which she climbs up to stand next to her teammate for this fight. "Umm... Hello, Mr. Nikaido."

Some fighters have fame, either because of their battles or because they just happen to be idols for everyone. Though it's not the case for everyone. Kyoko, herself, isn't one of the regular of the circuit. Though you know how it is, if you don't keep fit and stay in shape, with age, it's quickly going to go away... And Kyoko cannot allow such a thing. Definately not. Not with all the school girls and boys she frequents every day. Her image is very important. Curse them and their metabolism! They'll see one day... One day when they'll eat ice cream it'll go directly into their butts, and they'll wonder 'oh my, how come have I such a fat butt?'. In other words, in the end, Kyoko will have the last laugh. She always does.
Is today's fight only to keep herself fit? Nah, she could do fitness without fighting. This is merely for a little self-confidence boost. Kick a few youngsters about in all fairness. This definately sounds good. Just let her feel that she's still young and haven't lost hre touch.
Finally, the school nurse makes her way toward the stairs and she gets up slowly but surely. Clad in her usual clothing aside from a warmer coat, Kyoko's lips curl into a smile as she makes her way up, "Ah, winter... I hate this season..." She comments idly, shivering a little. In her hand she keeps her clipboard. God knows why. "Ah... If it isn't Benimaru," No formality, nope, not with Kyoko, "Well, do you have the chance to fight by my side or..." She lets her words trail off, giving Benimaru a wink, "Or the pleasure to fight against me?"

Everyone remembers the rules of the fight, right? .. Well, there probably aren't any rules; and it should be fairly obvious that the fight starts the same time as the train departs. The stairwell is drawn back, and the rowdy crowd just gets rowdier.
Benimaru glances down to Hinako, greeting her with a rather warm smile, "Well now, so you're Hinako.. I'm not familiar with your style, but I'll do my best to be a good teammate. Please, just call me Benimaru." he murmurs in his usual gentle tone, and baby-blue eyes shift to Sakura, "Sakura-chan, you're looking in a good mood," he could tell she has good news, but he'll have to wait that one out.
Suddenly the front train hoots, the bell clangs and the train slowly starts off, signifying the start of the fight.
But that Benimaru, he doesn't care, simply looking to Kyoko with a light laugh, "Well now that's not a fair question! Can't I just choose both?" In some ways, he's ecstatic about this match-up, and in others a little disappointed.

Nodding back to Benimaru, Sakura adjusts her footing upon the train car. "Yeah!" she chirps, eyes shifting over to her other opponent: Hinako. Another smile, another nod in greeting. "Good luck to both of you!"
And... then she turns to address Kyoko. Her smile fades a bit, here, but she does mention, "Er... sorry about last night. Wasn't in the best of moods."
Her headband twirls about as she steadies herself, turning towards Benimaru once more. She's ready when the bell sounds, at any rate. "Let's do this!" she shouts out, starting things off quickly by charging at Benimaru. Nothing fancy, just a rapid dashing knee to the chest. "Hyaaaaa!"
Hinako nods quickly to her teammate. "Okay, Benimaru!" The train starts to move, but she has little trouble maintaining her balance. Really heavy shoes certainly doesn't hurt for that. "Well then!" She turns to face Sakura and Kyoko. She holds her arms out down and in front of her, then uses her right fist to smack her upper left arm, and vice versa, then takes a deep breath as she tenses up her whole body for a moment. "Let's go!"
She crouches forward into her fighting stance just in time to react to Sakura charging in toward Benimaru. She's not quick enough to do anything before Sakura gets a chance to attack, but even if it's too late for that she still reaches out in an attempt to grab the other schoolgirl by the shoulders. If she manages to do that, she attempts to introduce Sakura's face to the train by throwing her down against it.
"I am afraid that it's not that easy, dear," Kyoko answers to Benimaru, slowly shaking her head as she folds her arms in front of her chest. Her gaze then turns over to Sakura and Kyoko's lips curl into a smile, "You have nothing to apologize for, I guess it was rather impolite of myself to actually barge into your conversation. However, if you ever need the feel to talk about anything or... You'd like to have advice about anything... You can always come by when I'm around Taiyo and drop by my office. The door's always open for anyone." Kyoko states.
As the train actually starts moving, Kyoko staggers a little -- being in high heels has its problem sometimes and so, Kyoko merely takes a couple of seconds to steady herself while she observes her opponents, attempting to find some kind of weaknesses in their defenses.

Benimaru nods in approval toward Hinako before he goes into action, and can't help but smile a little brighter; Sakuras good cheer is infectious to the man. Fists raised sort of like cat-paws, the shootfighter slouches a little and then lowers his arms to take the blow to his forearms, with a light grunt. His eyes shift to his partner again and he crouches to sweep past Sakura, coat flapping behind him and presses on toward Kyoko instead, "Doctor, forgive me for saying this, but you're quite a tease," his hand reaches out to take Kyokos shoulder, ".. Pardon me," and if he can get that hold, a small orb forms in his opposite hand. His palm thrusts forward, looking then to give the nurse a good theraputic shock. It's healthy, honest.

As the train picks up in speed, so does the wind, flapping about Sakura's baggy pants as she pulls back from Benimaru. Of course, she doesn't get too far before Hinako has a hand on her shoulder. Luckily, Sakura managed to sense her presence beforehand, and when she's slammed down, Sakura tucks herself up tightly, rolling to dampen the blow against the side of the deck. Grinning brightly as she tumbles back to her feet, with a light hop for stability, she calls back, "Good one!"
But that's not all! Sakura steps in a bit closer, thrusting one hand down and bringing her right foot up, aiming to kick Hinako in the jaw in the process. "Yaa!"

Hinako holds her arm out firmly as Sakura's kick comes in, letting the blow crash into her forearm rather than her jaw. She frowns for a moment as she looks at Sakura, considering her strategy. This train isn't suited particularly well to her style of fighting. Knocking somebody down is all well and good, but she'd really rather not shove anybody so hard that they go flying off the train, somewhat limiting the approaches she can take.
Still, at least right now she and Sakura are lined up along the length of the train, so sending the Ansatsuken student sprawling problem wouldn't be too risky. Pushing Sakura's leg away, Hinako draws both of her arms back for a moment, before thrusting forward with a double open palm strike to Sakura's chest, trying to knock her off her feet. And there's a rather surprising amount of force behind the blow for such a small girl... But then, she has to be able to do this kind of thing to people who weigh a /lot/ more than Sakura.

"Quite a tease, huh?" Kyoko echoes, arching a brow as she straightens herself and stares at Benimaru. Her lips curl into a smile and she waits for Benimaru to get closer. Unfortunately, just as Kyoko tries to move aside and actually strike Benimaru, it seems that out of the two, the top model is faster than Kyoko happens to be. Not only that, but that surge of electricity seems to have caught Kyoko either off-guard or somewhere sensitive has it actually knocks her back a bit.
The woman staggers back and she actually loses her balance on the moving train, in fact, she actually falls off the moving wagon. Well, more or less. She at least manages to hold herself on the edge with her hand, but the motion of the train along with the harsh wind obviously doesn't make it easy for her. All in all, Kyoko manages to stay on the train, barely but surely, forcing herself back up on it. Gladly, her strenght did not abandon her in a critical time like this.
Benimaru chuckles to the woman, "Given the present company, I can't get into details," he replies with a wry smirk, seeming to catch when Kyoko's moving to do something- What, he has no idea, but the important thing is it connects. But when Kyoko nearly falls off the train, his heart nearly leaps out of his mouth, at a loss for words and quickly drops to one knee to assist. Luckily though, she's up on her own and he lets out a small sigh of relief, and smiles sheepishly, "... Er, my apologies.."

And... yeah. Sakura's pretty surprised that so much power can come out of a girl smaller than even =her=. So much so that, even though Sakura attempts to put her arms up to defend, they do nothing to quell the momentum suddenly imparted upon them, sending Sakura flying back, tumbling head over heels for two full turns upon the top of the rushing train. Gritting her teeth along the trip, Sakura snaps out, digging her heels and flashing a quick smile over to Kyoko. "If you wanna switch dance partners, you just let me know, 'kay?"
But one instant later, her eyes are right back on Hinako. Plenty f distance between them, now... but Sakura's got an advantage. Bright blue chi blossoms between her palms as she curls them to her right, her stance wide and stable against the rushing wind. Nodding back to Hinako, she says, "It's time to get serious!" And then she thrusts both palms forward, unleashing a tight, dense blast of energy upwind to the Sumo enthusiast. "HADOOOOOUKEN!"

Eep.
Hinako can stop a massive sumo wrestler in his tracks, but with a chi blast like that? There's not really anything for her to grab. She tries to sidestep out of the way, but there's not really enough time for her to do it, and not enough room on the train for her to take a dive to the side. Not to mention that that wouldn't be very well in keeping with the art of sumo. Of course, if it /was/ a sumo match, Hinako would lose right now, when she finds herself getting bowled over by Sakura's Hadouken, skidding back across the train for a few feet. "Owww..."
Shaking her head for a moment, Hinako clambers back to her feet and grins at Sakura, rubbing the back of her head for a moment. "I guess I've got to watch out for that. But now... Here I come!" And with that shout she begins charging back across the train toward Sakura, attempting to to grab her opponent by one shoulder, and plant a hand on her stomach... and keep running, pushing her right off her feet and carrying her onward. There's unfortunately no wall to smash her into, but Hinako can get around that by making a small hop, and attempting to take Sakura down in a sliding tackle.
"I'm going to handle blondie here, but thank you for the offer, Sakura," Kyoko states as she slowly but surely forces herself back to her feet. The woman heaves a soft sigh and she actually sweeps off her skirt a little, tidying it while she keeps the pose and her long raven hair dances with the squalls. Kyoko lifts her gaze up to Benimaru and her lips curl into a smile, "Ah, do not apologize, I guess I was a little bit careless. I have to admit, it's been a while since I fought and I am a little bit rusty." Kyoko says.
The woman then gingerly strides in Benimaru's direction, to get by his side. "However... I can tell that you're in a splendid shape..." Kyoko says, lifting a finger up to gently tease Benimaru's forehead with her finger tip, letting it brush the man's flesh as it goes down over his nose, and down over to swirl against his lips, down his chin and throat slowly but surely.
Of course, with the constant wind and the noise from the train, it doesn't allow them to exchange soft whispers and they have to be rather loud but they'll manage, no? Kyoko's lips curl into a smile and she leans a bit closer, "I hope you don't mind... Though I got to admit that I much prefer to fight... Like this... Up close and personal... It allows me to 'feel' my opponent better, if you see what I mean..." She says, her finger wandering down over Benimaru's chest and moving closer over to his arm.
And then, perhaps that Benimaru is just going to fall for that feint, or that he'll not be paying much attention to the potential threat Kyoko represents or... He just doesn't mind her getting a bit 'rougher' but Kyoko actually attempts to swiftly and quickly grasps Benimaru's arm and twists it about behind his back.

The blonde model nods his head in understanding, in fact he almost looks inspired by Kyokos determination, have to love a woman who isn't intimidated by a fighting celeb, after all. When the woman steps closer, the model doesn't budge, at first a little perplexed, but then reddens a little along the bridge of his nose, it'd seem that he was thus far completely caught in the womans web, ".. You don't say," he murmurs in return, swallowing lightly, "Well, I'm rather fond of that style mysel-" consider it a twist of fate, the train just happens to bump rather badly on a part of the track that causes the model to lose his balance in his moment of weakness and fall onto the roof, Kyoko getting his arm just so it can slip away during his embarassing clumsiness. He clears his throat then, quickly scrambling to his feet again and takes a moment to get his thoughts back togeather.

Hinako's able to do most of all that, but mostly because Sakura's curious to see where it's going. She doesn't want to knock Hinako off the train either, after all. So while Sakura does put up a bit of a struggle, she's still carted away by the shoulder- and stomach-grab, and even to the point where Hinako hops and slams her into the floor.
The actual slam, though, is mitigated by the fact that Sakura was forming another fireball in her hand in the meantime. When that hop comes, Sakura brings her right hand up, bringing the palm up towards Hinako's midsection. And when she falls, the cry of "HADOOUKEN!" signals the release of said fireball. It shouldn't be much more than a light punch to most people, so it's not like she's gonna go sailing off the end of the train -- but it's enough to take Hinako's landing out of Sakura's pain equation. "Heh..."
Okay, this seems to be working! Now to just- *boom!*
And Hinako goes up into the air, flying off of Sakura to come crashing down hard on the train. She wasn't quite expecting something like that, although she probably should have been. Dealing with Sakura's fireballs is obviously going to be a little tricky.
The blonde girl climbs back to her feet, watching Sakura warily. She begins moving slowly toward her opponent, approaching slowly and keeping herself ready to hop out of the way at any signs of danger. If she can just get close enough to grab Sakura without getting blown up first... She flexes her fingers a few times as she slowly advances, watching for an opening.

Well the blonde just happens to be one lucky guy that's for sure. Kyoko actually staggers a bit as the train bump badly and it takes her everything not to fall once more -- being in heels on this roof is actually a really bad idea it would seem. The fact that she actually failed to get a hold of his arm actually causes the woman to snort. Though the noise is obviously lost in the train's movements.
If she came here to actually give herself a boost of confidence at not being too slow and up to those kids, things are obviously not looking well. Kyoko heaves a soft sigh and she moves one hand to actually brush a few locks of hair away from her face, "Alright then, let's get serious..." She says before she actually attempts to crush Benimaru's back with her heel.

And Kyokos heel has no trouble hitting the back of Benimaru, granted he was still /somewhat/ prepared to go on the offensive; his baby-blue eyes snap open, yes he was expecting a kick, what he forgot was that it was a high-heel. A pained grunt passes his lips, hand slapping on the ground and twirling as if he were going for a sweep kick- But he stops just short, the red gradually dissipating from his face as he instead swings his free arm out to backhand the woman in the gut, "... Is that a trick request?"
Hrm. Kipping back to her feet, Sakura frowns a bit at the wind. At least it's keeping her outfit from getting =too= dirty. The fact that Hinako's circling, though, is starting to make her think, and reconsider how the fight is progressing. For one thing... Benimaru's still fresh from all the flirtation. For another, Kyoko's a bit hurt. And she and Hinako have been trading shots like whoas -- and it's starting to take its toll.
"Heh... where'd you learn to hit like that, anyway?" asks Sakura, as she clenches and unclenches her fists. A blue flame erupts around her, but it's oddly unaffected by the winds, clinging closely to Sakura's form. She's plotting =something=, that's for sure.

Hinako grins at Sakura, continuing to flex her fingers. "I had to learn to be able to hold my own if I was going to compete in sumo, and prove that size isn't everything!" She continues moving closer as she speaks. Closer... Closer... Now!
Hinako rushes in, trying to ram her shoulder into Sakura's chest to knock her off balance. Should that work, she begins lashing out at Sakura with a blurring series of palm strikes, each of which has a fair bit of force behind it. The overall purpose of all of this is just to knock Sakura back and off balance though, opening her up for the final stage of the attack, in which she hefts Sakura off the ground... then pauses for a very brief moment.
Uh oh. She can't just /hurl/ Sakura... She'll probably go off the train. So, not sure else what to do, Hinako settles for just throwing Sakura down /at/ the train... which probably isn't very pleasant in and of itself.

Talk about some luck, down there, Benimaru might get quite some view. Kyoko's lips curl into a smile as she stares down at Benimaru, attempting to keep him pinned down under her foot. Unfortunately though, things don't quite go as planned and when Benimaru shifts about to hit her, Kyoko loses her balance a bit and the hit against her gut causes her to stagger back a bit.
Kyoko frowns a bit and she bites her lips. If she was supposed to actually show off that she's not out of it, things aren't going well! "Well... Tell me what you think about it?" Kyoko asks, before she leaps up in the air and swirls around to give Benimaru a powerful sweeping kick, a wide arc of energy following along her leg as it moves about in the air, "Kyaaa!" She says as she spins around on herself.

If one were to actually /ask/ Benimaru though, he'd claim that it wasn't luck.. It was all skill. And then if one were ask if it were worth it.. Well.. That one is a little more debatable, the model's still feeling a nasty pain in his back, he reaching back to favor it as he stays knelt. Yeah, perhaps a good idea would be not to do that again. The kick thrown after is dealt with without too much trouble, his free arm more than adequate to raise above his head and tighten himself up to let the heel and its energy slam down on it. Long after the attack Benimaru stays in his blocked position, then snaps out of it to snap a kick to Kyokos knee, "... Well to be frank," he finally says, ".. I don't find your fighting style very 'fair', serious or no." though there's a bit of a playful smile in that statement.

Sakura... doesn't think she likes the idea of getting hit by Hinako again. Sumo slaps, palm strikes, whatever... none of them are palatable at the moment. And as Sakura's been basically watching Hinako all throughout her buildup, she's mostly ready fr what's coming. Mostly. Each of the strikes is met with a forearm and a backpedal, each exchange causing Sakura to lose precious ground upon the space-starved train car -- but due to the method she's following, each blow hurts a bit less than it could have. Inspiration, perhaps, or maybe just blind luck... whatever the cause, Sakura still feels she's coming out ahead.
Until, that is, Hinako grabs her. "Uwaa?!" spouts Sakura as she's grabbed, lifted, and chucked back down at the train. It =could= spell certain doom for the schoolgirl, if she hadn't been "in the zone" -- as it is, she lands on her feet, in a low crouch, rather than taking a hard fall. She springs right back up into an uppercut at Hinako, aimed high, as if to regain all the ground she'd just lost! "SHOOOOU'OOU KEN!"
And it seemed to be going so well, too... Right up until the point where Sakura's fist slams into Hinako's jaw, knocking her off balance and sending her staggering back. She had to stand up straighter than usual to launch her own attack, leaving her defenses against such a blow weakened. It's something for her to reflect on; but not right now.
Right now she's got to do something to hit Sakura back. She's already feeling a little wobbly, and chances are she won't be able to keep fighting all that much longer. She's not going to give up, though! "Hyah!" Hinako lashes out with a kick at Sakura's lower legs, mostly to disrupt her balance. And that's so that Hinako can give a good shove to both of Sakura's shoulders, hopefully sending her sprawling out on her back.

Unfortunately, Kyoko is clearly outmatched here. Thankfully, her opponent doesn't happen to be one of her student, because she'd have a hard time forgiving herself for actually being handled like this. Kyoko grunts a bit and she staggers back, bending over after Benimaru's kick against her knee. She winces and lets her hands gently run over her leg and knee, rubbing it back and forth and massaging it, trying to make the pain from the impact going away.
Kyoko frowns and she glances up to Benimaru, "Oh really? How is that?" Kyoko asks, tilting her head to one side as she keeps on vigorously massaging her knee.
Benimaru raises an eyebrow, finally standing up once more and.. Looking perplexed to whatever it is Kyoko is doing. Mind you, just because he's confused doesn't mean that he isn't going to look, "....."
".. Huh? Did you say something?" the model then asks as he glances upward again, baby-blue eyes shifting over Hinako-wards. A light frown plays on his lips, and he gives a small nod of his head, "I'll be right back," Benimaru sprints past the nurse, and looks to tag in a quick sliding kick at Sakuras ankles, whether she falls or not.

And... as worn as she is from that last round of attack, Sakura's basically numbed her arms all to heck. She really ought to be able to do something about that kick, like jumping over it, but... no, it's just not meant to be. Swept, she's subsequently knocked over, falling to the train -- though, really, she's not as bad off as it seems!
Until Benimaru's kick comes crashing into her shoulder, sending her rolling lengthwise towards the edge of the train car!
Well... almost. See, Sakura grabs on to the ledge with her last strength, her legs flailing about against the side of the traincar as she holds on for dear life. "Uh... Kyoko-sensei? Some =help= over here?!" she shouts over the rushing wind.
But she realizes she's gonna have to help herself first. Gritting her teeth, she looks up at the other opponents, and out of sheer determination, she uses her inner strength and vaults over the edge with a kick! ... Okay, it looks like that, but Sakura actually walked up the side of the train car, the worn treads on her Chuck Taylors barely serviceable to that end. But she =does= indeed catch the corner and somersault a kick downward at Hinako's shoulder.

Hinako's ready for Sakura, though! ...Actually, when Sakura goes sliding off the edge of the train, Hinako starts running over to help her. Falling off a train moving at high speed would be really unpleasant, right? Before she manages to get over there, however, Sakura flips herself back up, swinging her leg down at Hinako.
And the kick connects! But trying to drive Hinako down is a tricky proposition. Her knees shake slightly, but it's more from her overall worn out state than the force of Sakura's blow. Still, she doesn't have much energy left. But it is enough energy to bring her arms up and grab Sakura by the legs. Hinako then spins around, already starting to fall over herself, and lets Sakura go sailing headfirst into the roof of the train.
And that's around the point where Hinako's injuries catch up to her, and she collapses herself. Thud.

Well at least Benimaru lets go of her for a little while as Kyoko massages her kneecap. However, it doesn't seem for the best as he goes rescue his teammate... Only to slaughter Kyoko's one. The woman winces a bit as the two actually gang up on Sakura and the nurse straightens herself up, "Have no fear Sakura! I'm coming!" She shouts. Though it may be a little late for all of this.
The nurse then strides over and she approaches Benimaru while he's still facing Sakura... And the evil nurse just moves her hands over in attempt to grasp one of Benimaru's limp. And oh... Oh... Poor Benimaru, if Kyoko actually gets his hands on him, he'll ache all over, that's for sure.

Even Benimaru isn't exactly sure what happened there.. He was just acting as a 'striker' of sorts and then Sakura's just sent reeling back. He's just about to turn back when Hinako makes a suicidal finish. It's actually very very admirable.
The model just naturally assumes both the girls are down, and he's.. Pretty certain neither of them will be falling off anytime soon.
And now for Kyoko, the nurse rushes in and takes his.. Arm? said arm moving quickly to take Kyokos hand as the other settles on her hip as if they were about to slow dance. The model stands there a moment, and quirks an eyebrow, ".. What technique is this?"

Sakura's plea goes unanswered, even as Sakura is grabbed and subsequently hammer-tossed into the roof of the train. At least she's not wearing a skirt, still! But just as she flies headfirst into the nearest flat surface, she still has =something= of an idea, her hands glowing blue as they trail behind her. If Kyoko's not gonna do it, it's up to her, right?
Where were we? Oh, right. *WHAM!* Sakura hits, bouncing once, twice before landing to a halt. She scrambles back to her feet, hands still glowing with energy. She takes two quick steps, faltering on the third and dropping to one knee. That =hurt=, after all! But she stands up again, whipping her hands to the side and then thrusting forward again, a decently-sized fireball rocketing out with a cry of "HADOOOOOUKEN!"

Despite her best effort to actually help her partner and do something to him, Benimaru just shrugs it off and moves aside, turning the grapple into his favor. That's definately not good. At least that seems to surprise Kyoko quite a bit. The nurse blinks a couple of time as Benimaru holds her and she merely narrows her eyes a bit, "Well, obviously nothing you'll get to know anytime soon..." The nurse admits, lips curling into a smile.
She just gets her breath back and frowns a bit at Benimaru, offering him a "Better luck next there... If there is a next time..."

"... I don't think I like that answer, not at all," Benimaru mumbles, "So.. Instead of giving that answer so hastily, how about you just take a moment to think about it a moment and th-" Danger, Will Robinson. Suddenly Sakura doesn't seem so 'out cold', he looking over his shoulder and then seperating from the nurse with a frown of his own now. Fireball flaring his way he thrusts his palms out to let the chi slam against it and pushes it off to the side to be carried away by the wind, then presses toward the schoolgirl again, looking to take her down for -good- this time with a well placed jab to the sternum, "No offense," he whispers to Sakura, "But if you didn't get up I'm sure I would have had her. Geez."

'No offense?' How can Sakura not take offense at that? She's trying her best just to stay =standing=, and here Benimaru's basically telling her to stay down?
Screw that! Sakura leaps backwards from that punch, palms snapping to either side, like wings in the rushing wind. A slight mid-air tumble sends her flying well over Benimaru's head, as the girl lands in a crouch behind Kyoko. Panting heavily, she looks back up at Benimaru, then Kyoko, with a needful glance. Considering she's dropped to one knee, and moreover, not cracking jokes or trash-talk like usual, it might be a fair guess to assume she could use a bit of perking up. "..."

Looks like Sakura's not quite done yet. That's a good thing. It's enough to bring a smile to Kyoko's lips. Ah! The everlasting fighting spirit. Kyoko chuckles softly and she straightens herself a little. Letting Benimaru hit on Sakura? Well now that wouldn't be quite nice of her to let him hit on her teammate. She failed to prevent it last time but this time, she'll actually try to do something. He can't be always that slippery, she'll eventually have to get a hold of him.
"Now, now, I'm not done with you yet." Kyoko says as she attempts to actually grasp the man from behind, to hold him into a tight headlock and keep him busy right now, forcing him away from Sakura a little.

Benimaru mentally snaps his fingers.. He should have known that girl wouldn't go down that easily, and if he didn't do something soon, both of these women could overwhelm him pretty quickly. Only having a moment to regroup, his arm zips up and he resists the headlock.
Well, after it's sort of 'locked in', wrapped about his wrist and head instead of just his head. But after a moment he realizes that staying this way isn't going to help him in the long run- And so he tries to slip his arms about her waist, and if he's fast enough, hefts her up in the air and drops backwards, putting a little more of the impact on Kyokos back rather than his own, "Hnnf!"
Sakura's mouth opens wide as Kyoko charges off into battle. Though... in retrospect, Benimaru's still alive and kicking. While Sakura may have desperately needed Kyoko's direct assistance here, and indeed, wished she had the breath to ask for it, perhaps battle medics aren't needed in this fight.
But what's left to do, right now? Sakura's a bit too exhausted to be hucking Hadoukens at the man just yet. Maybe after another moment or two of hanging back, she'll be ready.

With a slow shake of her head, Kyoko actually maintains Benimaru's struggle and prevents him from actually getting the upper hand in this little grapple fight. After all, this is one of Kyoko's speciality. Being a nurse, she has to know how to control her patients, no? No? Ahem. At any rate, she doesn't allow Benimaru the pleasure to actually move too much in her grasp. Instead, Kyoko just turns around a bit and finally lets go of Benimaru, shoving him a couple of steps away from her, "Now, now, don't be a naughty boy, you gotta play nice with us." Kyoko says with a nod of her head.
The woman then glances over to Sakura and she bites her lips. She strides in her direction and says, "Everything alright? Don't strain yourself..." Kyoko says with a nod of her head. The woman lifts one hand up, gently letting it trails off over Sakura's shoulder, "Here, here... Let me make it feel a bit better..." Kyoko says as she moves her hands over Sakura's shoulders as she strides behind her.
Here's a little help and boost. No drugs involved, though Kyoko's magical touch is enough to make some of the pain go away. She lets her long delicate fingers knead Sakura's tensed muscles through her clothes, rubbing her flesh and making the tension and pain leaves her back slowly but surely. It's not much, considering the present time but it'll be enough to allow Sakura to fight some more.
All right, now this fight is starting to get.. Awkward. It should be obvious what he should be doing at this point, and heck, he even starts to press onward again even after staggering a little, until Kyoko goes to er. What is she doing?
Uplifting her spirits.
Getting her into a more comfortable position.
Having a tender girl to girl moment.
The model rubs the back of his head, ".. R.. Right, of course. But remember what I said about your style not being 'fair'?" he zips forward, trying to reach around Sakura and shoulder throw Kyoko, slamming her back into the roof of the train, "It still stands! A man shouldn't have to make these kinds of painful decisions!"

Well... Sakura basically got what she was hoping for. Just... not in the way she'd hoped. Embarassed -- on TV even! -- the schoolgirl's cheeks flush red. Open door policy indeed. But she basically lets Kyoko do what she's gonna, as she =does= benefit from the brief massage.
Of course, Benimaru has to get up and start fighting again. She ducks out of the way, as Kyoko's doubtless going to move also, rolling to the side and rising, once more, to her feet. Revitalized! Yay! Her hands clench into fists, thrown out to either side as she grins back at Benimaru. "Thanks, doc... that really hit the spot!" But she's not attacking just quite =yet=... if the blue aura around her is any indication. "Haaaaaaa..."

Unfortunately, Kyoko's massage is cut rather short once Benimaru gets a hold of her and shoves her rather roughly on the train's roof. With a loud thud, Kyoko hits the ground and she lets out a screech from her throat. She growls and then gives a glare over to Benimaru, "Ah, but that's part of the little fun I can get, you won't take this away from me." Kyoko says with a few nods of her head.
The woman simply stays just where she is, instead, she simply uses her legs in an attempt to grasp Benimaru's own and actually knocks him down to the ground.

Hoo boy, not good. Benimaru's in a bad position, not as bad as it could be, but it's a bad one indeed. But he can't complain, he dug this grave, he's going to have to fight his way out of it, "I suppose I won't," he replies, and then Kyoko captures his leg, he tries to snap his left foot upward, but unable to break free in time, is taken down by the nurse and he falls over with a light grunt.
And now... now Sakura's just about ready for major-league asskicking again. Grinning back at Kyoko, she snaps a quick salute. "Thanks again, doc!" And just to show her gratitude, Sakura comes charging up at Benimaru from the side angle. "Are you ready for your closeup, Benimaru?" she shouts, glowing a brilliant blue as she dashes forward. Dropping low, she spins into a low sweep kick, aiming to land just as he's getting up. But, if she's allowed, that won't be all as she continues revolving around for another three sweep kicks, before standing up to deliver a final roundhouse, sending him flying upwind with the force of her schoolgirl might! "YA! YA! YA! YA! YAAAAA!"
You'd be surprised to know the wonders Kyoko can do with those long slenders leg. How they swiftly move and act as if they had a mind of their own, with so much ease and fluid motions you'd almost swear she's better using her legs than she is using her arms. In fact, everything happens so fast for Benimaru, if he's not careful he'll find himself into an even worse predicament.
Once he falls down to the ground, Kyoko actually attempts to use her legs and twists Benimaru's own about. She just supports herself with her hands and arms while she lets her legs move about to actually lock Benimaru in place with her legs, squeezing his and tightly locking him, barring his legs into a painful submission where she gets to twist his joints in ways that are rather painful... And with him on the ground and Kyoko actually performing her leg bar, the nurse merely smiles a little and she says, "Ah, now, now, didn't you complain about missing the wonderful things I was about to do to you a few moments ago? Now you get to have a free sample..." Who knows with some bad luck, Benimaru might just not get the chance to get back to his feet.

Benimaru gives his head a light shake, and he's just about to get back up until Kyoko moves to get the lock on the blonde fighter. On the plus side, it'd seem its enough for Sakura to zoom in and kick the living hell out of the model, there's little he can do to defend himself. On the downside, Benimaru is forced to get really creative and tears a page out of Blankas book. Grunting again from the hold and his ribs totally killing him, a slender bolt of violet electricity circles his form and then he gives off a tremendous electrical charge, electrical chi dancing, bounceing and charging up his entire form, which would likely force Kyoko right out of that lock.
Well... it seems all that waiting around has borne results for the schoolgirl. Way better than just flopping over the side of the train, which seems to be hitting a curve right about now. Sakura leans hard to the side, digging her heels into the reinforcing ribs of the trailer, while narrowing her eyes at Benimaru. Not because she's mad, but because she's trying to aim! Wait, aim what? Why, the blaze of blue chi swirling about in her hands. Hinako had gotten a taste of this before, but Sakura's hoping Benimaru won't just brush this one aside like last time. Thrusting her hands forward, she looses a suitcase-sized blast of chi at the man: "Hadooooouken!"
That's one rough way to break the lock that's for sure. Kyoko winces and she actually has to spin around to avoid being knocked off the train with the force of Benimaru's kick. Kyoko pants and she chuckles softly, "Well... Benimaru, a no would have just been the same, you know..." Kyoko says. The doctor then straightens herself up and she bites her lips.
"Well... Here's your second chance..." Kyoko states as she moves over in an attempt to grapple Benimaru once again... To show him a piece of heaven before she'll quite literally break him in half. At least, if he doesn't attempt to slip out of the way like last time.

Well here comes nothing. The Final Prescription. Which happens to be a series of various locks and pressure point manipulation applied all over Benimaru's body. Like a whole check-up, except that it's more like a whole hurt-up.
And as Kyoko approaches Benimaru, she gets a good hold on him for a moment. There's some resistance, a few of those locks even kicking in and rather immobilized him more than it hurts him, "Rrrgh.." but with one arm active he's at least able to deal with the fireball, ".. My apologies, I got a little overexcited," he grunts, a small, violet orb forming in his palm and when the hadouken is close enough, crushes the orb-
It results in a tremendous explosion, bursts of electrical chi filling the air and completely swallowing the hadouken. The wave of 'fireworks' continues toward Sakura to deal with as the model collapses to the floor, unable to get up for the moment.

"Wow..." notes a slack-jawed Sakura at the manner in which Benimaru basically pries himself free of Kyoko's attack to not only meet her Hadouken -- but overcome it!
But then she realizes it's still headed for her. "This is no time for--" And she shoves her shoulder into the blast, wincing slightly at the surge of electricity rippling through her, poofing her moppish hair out to the sides. A familiar sensation, judging from their clash earlier this week.
But she won't let that stop her! No, she charges right on in, throwing her shoulders back to extend one simple thrust kick at Benimaru's upper torso. "HYAAA!"
Still, Kyoko doesn't let go of Benimaru! She attempts to get a firm hold of Benimaru and if she does, Kyoko then actually goes into giving him a series of mid and low kicks, "Kya! Waaah!" The woman shouts with every hit she delivers him. The nurse didn't have much luck in her grapple today, but she seems to be headed for that tactic with Benimaru instead of going for blunt kicks... Well at least, she goes for a mixture of both of her speciality in one.
"Come on girl! We can do it, there's not much juice left in that boy, I can tell... Trust an expert on the matter when it comes to stamina..." Kyoko says.

Well, with Kyoko keeping her hold, it doesn't leave the model with a lot of options here, does it? Were he standing without and problem, he probably could have taken out Sakura right then and there-
C'est la vie.
Sweat falling down the models brow, the most he can do is just give off that electrical charge again, and while it may not be enough to hurt Kyoko this time, it's plenty to catch her by suprise and thus lessen the impact of those blows. Yeah, he's not a champion for nothing! And when Sakura snaps her own kick out, the girl just suddenly finds herself flat on her back (from an astonishly fast footsweep), with likely quite a bit of pain in her ankles.
"O.. Ok.. Right leg's working all right.." the model grunts to himself, and then finally asks to Kyoko, "This is actually not as fun as I had originally hoped it would- If you could return feeling to my body, that'd be fantastic.." ...... ".. Please?"
"Guh!" Sakura pushes herself up off the ground, a little stunned from the suddenness of it all. But that's okay... it's just more encouragement for her to go the medium-range route again, much as she's loathe to admit it. Vaulting backwards, she steadies herself against the rush of wind -- how much longer will it be till this train stops rolling, anyway? Not soon enough, as far as Sakura's concerned. The curl of her hands to her side before ramming forward with a concussive blast of energy ought to be a familiar sight -- though Sakura's just hoping this one will =work=. "HADOOOOUKEN!"
Perhaps it's just because she's starting to wear herself out but her last attack didn't seem to have quite the result she expected. Kyoko bites her lips and she simply answers to Benimaru, waving an hand up, "Don't worry about it, after this little fight's over, I'm going to make everyone feel better again with my nurse's special touch." Kyoko says with a wink.
However, things aren't quite over here just yet. Kyoko leaps in the air and she actually spins around on herself as she goes totally hurricane kick like on Benimaru, one leg spinning in attempt to hit him only to be replaced by her other leg and then the first one comes back countlessly! Weee! Until she actually loses the momemtum to stand about in the air.

Benimaru is just in big trouble.. There's really no other word to properly describe it. Though at least Kyokos 'comfort' is some consolation, the model giving a weak smile in return before he's faced with the Twirling Kick of Doom.
The model's in a predicament there, he raises one arm, but the other fails to co-operate. That equals eating kicks until Kyoko's sure that he's had enough, the model seeing stars. Needless to say the hadoken that Sakura pitches, Beni relies on good ol' blind luck to get out of the way, instead nailed in the back and lands flat on the roof once again. Pain, just lots of pain, but Benimaru does reach desperatly for the air, eyes crossed as he sputters, ".... medic." and finally collapses, unconcious.

Now that the referees, safe in their makeshift video booth in the next car, catch sight of Benimaru falling over, the train kicks out of high gear. Sakura, for her part, lurches unsteadily at the shift of speed, given her state of overexertion, but after a slight windmilling of her arms to the either side for balance. "Uhh-whooa..." she stammers, shifting her feet and bracing for the ride. Once she's stabilized, she crosses her arms, flashing Kyoko a broad smile. "Heh... looks like we pulled it off!"

Good job defending yourself... You're pretty tough, you know that?" Kyoko comments. Kyoko chuckles a little and she spares a glance over to Sakura, "Good job, you've really given your best and it paid a lot. Yeah... We did it, we really rock." Kyoko says with a wink, "You've really done the most in this... Everyone fought well..." She smiles and then adds, "Could you please help bring her in the train?
