Duel I - Haruka versus Cerbera

Cerbera suddenly froze in her place, her eyes glaring at Haruka and blinked a few times. Taking a sudden step back and mumbled out.

" Get up... "

Cerbera clutched the side of her head, closing one eye tightly and stepped back further away from Haruka, taking a stance on the center of the ring while she muttered to herself.

" ..None of your bussiness.. "

Expecting more attacks, Haruka was surprised by Cerbera's 'order'. "H-hai," she obediently mumbled as she got up, arms guarding. "Cerbera-san? What's wrong?"

To her Cerbera didn't seem to be feigning... but feigning what? Haruka didn't know. She was too wary to approach Cerbera, but also concerned. "Who are you talking to? Me? Silhouette-san? Who?"

Cerbera's hand went down from her ear, down to her chest and placed it gently on the middle of it. Her eyes closed completely for a few moment and went silent.

" .....Begin. "

Her eyes opened back up swiftly, revealing the glowing purple eyes once more and dashed straight towards Haruka again, still resorting to kicks because of her weakened arms, trying to jump up and send her knee straight towards Haruka's chin.

Again Haruka blocked to no avail, Cerbera's jumping knee knocking her down on her back, her own hands backhanding her face. She tasted blood in her mouth; she had bitten her tongue. "Ugh..."

Cerbera brought her lifting leg down to stomp her foot upon Haruka's stomach, staring down at her while she'd bring her foot back onto the mat and leaning down to bring her hand down to Haruka's hair, gently stroking her fingers through it before she'd grip it and pull her up to her feet by it.

She'd try to wrap her arm over Haruka's head and tuck it against her side, then if she was succesfull, fall back and slam Haruka head first back in the mat for a DDT attempt.

Masato had to force himself to look. He hated himself for doing so, for letting this happen.

Haruka's mouth formed an O of silent horror. She couldn't breath, didn't have the breath to scream out her pain as Cerbera's foot dug into her belly. When Cerbera withdrew her foot, Haruka's belly would be bruised.

Gasping, her eyes tearing up, she was dragged to her feet by her hair and into Cerbera's reverse face lock. There was nothing she could do to prevent the DDT planting her head into the mat. And afterwards...

"HARUKA!!!"

She lay limp in Cerbera's grip.

Cerbera got back upon her feet, eyes locked upon Haruka's seeming limp body and couldn't help but let a smirk play on her lips, placing her foot upon Haruka's forehead and spoke loud enough for Masato to hear.

" Your own ignorance caused you to lose.. HOWEVER, let me make sure you never bother me again, or wake up soon for that matter. "

She'd lift her foot from Haruka's forehead, leaning down to lace her fingers into Haruka's hair, if Haruka was really out she'll start to drag her towards the turnbuckle, the crowd starting to boo loudly when they saw Haruka's state and what seemed to be Cerbera's continued slaughter.

" Time for one of my finishers. "

"Stop it, Cerbera!" Masato pleaded as Cerbera dragged Haruka by her hair towards the turnbuckle. "You don't want to do this!"

Haruka was barely breathing at this point. She was in no shape to resist Cerbera's evil intentions. She couldn't even register that she was alive, more so hurting. Fortunately for her, since Masato himself couldn't bear to contemplate it.

That was why Masato pulled himself into the ring to put himself in Cerbera's way. "Please don't do this! It's wrong!"

Cerbera glared up at Masato, her eyes showed no emotion or sympathy for what he was saying, not even the slightest hint of any emotion was shown, however she did stop her advance, turning to look at the Referee now.

" Interference. The match isn't over, let him remove or I automatically win and I don't want that just yet. "

She then looked back up at Masato.

" I know all about you two and Asteria. Since Day one but don't worry about her now, she's gotten her ' overdosis '. Now Step asside. I'm going to teach your petty little wrestler not to step into the ring with me again. "

Suddenly she blinked twice and muttered out all of a sudden.

" I do like her.. -- "

" Ugh, just step away! "

((OOC: Sorry for the long delay.))

The referee knew better than to deny Cerbera. She grabbed Masato and began moving him out the ring. "Sorry, but you have to leave..."

"No! I'm throwing in the towel! Please stop her from hurting Haruka!"

"Are you out of your mind? She'll hurt us both if we dare. Then she'll have her way with your ward. Save yourself the trouble."

Masato ignored the well-intentioned warning. "Don't do it!" He yelled at Cerbera. "Don't hurt her! She's your friend!"

He was surprised and made a little hopeful when Cerbera seemed to jerk out of her murderous trance. Could she actually be pleaded with? He struggled to slip free of the referee's grip. He succeeded; he grabbed Cerbera's arms, tried to pull her off the helpless Haruka.

"Please, Cerbera!"
