Claudette vs. Haruka

Claudette offered no resistance as Haruka pushed her onto her back. She moaned softly when the warmth of her foe spread across her body and her thigh was secured upward, rendering it useless to the weakened Valkyrie. The count started and Claudette could find no strength to do anything more than moan softly.

"One! Two!! Three!!!"

Claudette was defeated, Haruka was the better woman this evening. Perhaps the redhead had let her short fuse get the better of her and she made one too many mistakes which cost her dearly. She would simply lay there under the victorious Haruka, listening to the fans go wild for her

Haruka tiredly let Claudette's leg go as the final count was called out. She rolled over and lay on top of Claudette briefly, her mouth near her face almost like she was making out with her before she started to try and push herself up to hands and knees and gaze down upon her opponent's defeated and still features.

After a moment Claudette slowly opened her eyes to find Haruka's face very close to it, looking down over her. She shared silence, staring up at her and blushing slightly as she realized Haruka had defeated her. "Good... match..." Claudette complimented softly, "You are the... better woman. At least... tonight."

Haruka smiled gently and then reached down to offer Claudette a hand up.

"You are the first woman to offer me a real fight."

Claudette took the hand and pulled herself upward, rubbing at a few sore spots on her body. "That's a consolation i can live with, I guess." She did her best to offer Haruka a bow before she started to try and make her way out of the ring, feeling like she had just been in a car wreck.

Haruka would watch her go in a mix of pride and concern. She was glad she had won but hope that she had not hurt her too bad.

in any event she backed away to center of ring and held her hand up high once more. The crowd cheered for her and she felt elated, almost invincible. At this moment she felt she could take on anyone in this fed. Could anyone beat her now?

"Well, well, well...!" a voice came over the sound system, halting Claudette mid-aisle as she recognized the voice on her way back. Out on stage stepped Tigress with a big grin spread across her face, "Seems Claudette couldn't quit handle blondie."

Claudette frowned. She wasn't in the mood to be belittled by Tigress after losing a hard-fought match. She stared her down from the aisle while Tigress eyed the both of them.

"Seems to me you've lost ALL your matches so far in the AFW, Claudette, and I've won all mine. And in a continuation of showing everyone just how much better than you I am, I'm going to challenge the girl who beat you. Haruka, how about you face ME next? I'll let see what defeat tastes like." She shifted her cocky smile towards Claudette, "Better luck next time, hmm?"

Haruka crossed her arms and paced side to side giving Tigress a reproachful, arrogant look on the outside. Inside, she was sizing Tigress up and had to admit to herself that this other fighter girl looked quite impressive as well.

"I don't know who you are but you have piqued my interest! It seems you two know each other and if you are anything like her, then I accept your challenge!"

"Atta girl!" Tigress nodded, "But you're wrong there. I'm way better. So prepare yourself to lose."

With that, Tigress sauntered off stage, letting Haruka have her hard-earned moment.

Claudette waited for Tigress to leave before she continued her way to the back to put some ice on and have a shower.
