The internet in my new place just went up, so sorry all for the two week inactivity and without further ado it gives me great pleasure to say:

Darkness and Light, Into the Chaos!

Sakura sighed as she dried her hair, stepping out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her. "Well, how's it going for you?" Sakura asked, watching the video over Elena's shoulder as Great Khan executed a brutal series of punches before putting them into a headlock. "Ooh, that looks painful." the ravenette noted, wincing.

Elena had changed into her underwear, wearing a pair of bra and panties as she watched the video of Great Khan, Elena's opponent, destroy an opponent. "Its going well, can't say for her though." she said pointing to the video. "Man, this Khan lady sure looks tough huh?"

"Yeah. According to what I read and heard from the others, she hits harder than Jackal, but she isn't exactly fast." Sakura informed, reaching for her pajamas, a pair of sweats and a loose t-shirt. "Of course, if you figure out a way to outmaneuver her, you can dominate with those holds of yours." she added, grimacing at the memory of one of Elena's kneebars.

Elena would nod and agree with her friend. "Yeah, that's right. The bigger they are, the harder they fall right?" Elena said with a smile and a thumbs up back to Sakura.

Sakura giggled and nodded before sitting on her own bed. Pondering a second, she muttered, "I hope I can handle Spencer. From what Candy Cane told me, she was the star of her wrestling team. And that's before she got Anesthesia's boost. How high did you say her stats were?"

Elena would ponder about what Sakura said before turning over to face her while she was sitting on the bench. "You got this girl, you're the undefeated Hagiwara, the last tournament winner. If anyone can do it, its you." she said, giving her some words of encouragement.

"Thanks Elena." Sakura replied, smiling.

"You're welcome." she said.

Sakura's phone rang, and she checked the ID. "Huh, it's Moe." she realized, answering and quickly putting her phone on speaker. "Hey Moe, what's up?"

"Hmm wonder whats up" Elena pondered.

"Hey Miss Sakura, not much- how goes the prep for the tournament?" Moe asked.

"Well, it looks like there's gonna be some real competition. Elena already got a look at some of them, and they're seriously tough." Sakura replied. "But you called us, so there has to be something you're wanting to talk about."

"Hmm I see, well I'd imagine so- the ladies from RR are quite tough so I hope u guys are prepared. Uhh...no, no special reason just wanted to check up on you guys that's all." she said.

"Moe, you're a terrible liar." Sakura said flatly. "What's going on? With how nervous you are, I'd think Malcom asked you out."

"Uhh w-what?! I don't know what you're talking about. Sorry, you're breaking up, what did you say? Hello..uhh hello?! she said before abruptly cutting the phone.

"Oh my god, Malcom asked her out." Sakura giggled, redialing.

"Yeah, he probably did- no wonder she's all nervous and stuff. Haha that girl." Elena giggled as well.

Sakura sighed as the call went to voicemail. "Guess she's not ready to talk about it. She'll call back eventually." she shrugged, putting her phone on the side table. "You know, now that I think of it it's getting pretty late back home." Sakura noted, "It's more likely she just got BACK from a date."

"That could be true. Speaking of which, when are you planning to get a boy for yourself?" she said, elbowing her in the kidney lightly.

"Who said I'm into guys?" Sakura joked with a shrug. "I just haven't found Mr. or Ms. Right. Let you know when that changes though."

"Hahah right right, no man's gonna put up with a girl who can out-wrestle him right?" she said laughing.

Sakura laughed right along with her until she looked at the clock. "Matches don't start for another hour. What do you wanna do?" she asked.

"I think I'm just going to relax and chill for a bit, don't wanna stress myself out too much before the big fight." she said, stretching out.

Sakura nodded, reaching for the tv remote. "Well, let's see if there's anything good on." she muttered.

And done! Well, this went well enough I suppose. What did you guys think? Good? Bad? Not enough? Leave a review and see everyone next week!
