The Byakugan Princess Joins the Fray

As Hinata entered the ring, the former Hyuga clan heiress had to lean against the ropes to avoid the retreating Bulma and her pursuer as the duo made laps passed her. Essentially having a moment to herself, Hinata sighed to herself as she tried to recall just how she got talked into taking part in such a contest considering her past timid nature. "I can only hope Naruto-kun's not watching," she thought to herself before making her first move, knowing that one way or another, she'd have to take part.

As Bulma took another lap around the ring - delighting fans with her bouncing breasts and jiggling bottom - she'd soon feel a breeze sweeping over her and the lack of headgear which caused her to stop and feel for the ears that were no longer there; turning around, she'd see them in the hand of the newest entrant as the Sailor Senshi who was chasing her had also stopped as a result of Hinata's first move in the match.

"H-Hey! What are you...?!"

Hinata briefly bows, interrupting Bulma. "Gomen'nasai but...perhaps it's better if you...leave for the time being," said the white-eyed girl before focusing on Jupiter. Taking the hint, Bulma slowly lowers herself to the canvas before rolling out of the ring; while this doesn't change her state of dress - being left to a pair of white shirtcuffs & shirt collar with a red bowtie as the only evidence of the bunnysuit - it does allow the blue-haired genius to reevaluate the situation.

With Bulma out of the ring, Makoto turns her attention towards the heiress. "Mind telling me why you felt the need to let her escape? You know what's going to happen now, right?"

"Yes, you and I are gonna fight and...tr...try and strip one another," said Hinata, blushing lightly but keeping her breathing steady as she took up a combative stance.

Seeing this, the Sailor Senshi would also take such a stance before smirking. "More like you'll be taking her place for punishment."

In spite of this information/threat, Hinata wouldn't falter as she and Makoto had their standoff.
