Haruka vs Tigress - Haruka fights her second valkyrie

Haruka rolled on her side grabbing her arm. Her eyes shut tight in pain and burning with some shame. Not only had this woman beat her, she had forced her to submit! Haruka had also always felt she was more powerful than any other woman and now she had finally encountered one who was stronger than her.

Haruka groaned both in pain and shame.

All this time I wanted to prove I was just as strong as the men and I am beaten by another woman! It is usually I who protect them...

She was barely aware that Tigress lay next to her and at first because of her sulking she almost forgot she existed.

It took Tigress a moment but she soon sat up and let her violet eyes fall over Haruka's pained form. She respected how tough Haruka was. If she didn't already have a rival, perhaps this girl would have become it. No one had pushed Tigress to and beyond her limits like that before. More than once during this match Tigress had thought it was over, Haruka just couldn't be topped. And even now after Tigress won, she still couldn't understand just how it happened. She reached down to rub her damaged leg while she watched Haruka quiver on her side and would gingerly then roll to the outside of the ring. The redhead was still too angry to show Haruka any kind of sportsmanship in a hug or handshake or acknowledgement of skill, but it was there and perhaps later on Tigress would tell her so. But for now, all she wanted was an ice pack and a shower and then a much needed bed.
