Reunion-Rematch: Haruka & Haruko (COMPLETE)

"Uwaahhh! We're late!"

"Haruka! Wait up!"

The idol girl rushed into the lobby like a bat out of hell. Her out-of-breath manager stumbled after her.

"Haruko-chan!" Haruka exclaimed to her waiting friend. "I'm sorry I'm really late! We took the long way here to avoid Sindel!"

Haruko sat on a bench, looking a little taller, and slightly more built... and just overall mature than she was when she first came here. She looked over at Haruka, smiling at her as she rushed into the lobby. She had just been waiting patiently for her, not really in any big hurry. "It's good to see you again, Haruka" She beamed.

"Same here!" Haruka returned brightly. "It's been a long while!" She did not seem breathless or tired despite having run all the way.

The same could not be said for Masato. It was a small miracle he was able to keep up with his enthusiastic ward. "Hi," he managed to pant, "Haruko-san..."

"Uwah," Haruka admired. "Haruko-chan, you're taller than I remember... I bet you're much stronger now, too!" she praised.

Though she didn't think it, Haruka, too, had grown both physically and mentally thanks to training and experience, quite the match for Haruko.

Haruko nodded with a smile. "Yeah. I spent my vacation training basically, even though I was supposed to relax. I'm glad I did what I did now though, I feel ready to take on anyone." She smiled, standing up from her bench and stretching her arms over her head. "I also learned a lot of new moves that I didn't before too. And how about you? How was AFW for you while I was away?"

Haruka was impressed by her friend's story and physique. "AFW was okay," she revealed. "I trained up, too, but not as hard as you, I think. I took a shot at the kawaii championship; I didn't make it, and it was pretty embarrassing, but it was also fun. I also made several new friends.

"But Sindel has also returned with a very large group of minions. She threatened to go after me, Masato-kun, Cerbera-san and Yatori-senpai. And there's a new wrestler who's stalking me.

"I'm really nervous. So I was glad to hear you were back." Haruka brightened up. "And I'm really happy to see you're very strong."

"Aww... at least you got a title shot. I mean how many people can say that?" She asked her, stretching her arms over her head, then frowned. "Sindel? That's not good..." She replied. "If you need my help, I'll be more than happy to help you out. Now, in the meantime, what do you say we get this match going?" She asked.

"Haii!" Haruka agreed.

Masato chuckled at his ward's energy. "Well, I'll wait for you girls here, then. It's been a while since you met. I wouldn't want to distract you."

"Thank you, Masato-kun! We'll see you later, then! Let's go, Haruko-chan!"

A few minutes later, Haruka- now in her pink bikini- happily entered the ring they'd reserved for their spar. "Let's have a best-of-three match," she was saying as she got to the middle of the ring, "Like the first match we had with each other, if you don't mind?"

Haruko nodded, already in her wrestling attire, which still consisted of a black bikini, but in a larger size so it covered just as much as it did before. She approached the ring, rolling into it, then got up, nodding to Haruka. "Three normal matches? Sounds good, but I hope you know, I'm not going to hold back on you, all right?"

"I know!" Haruka vibrantly agreed. "I won't hold back, either!"

She held up her hands to grapple, and grinned. "Okay! Let's rumble!"

The idol girl would them eagerly make to lock up with her rival.

Haruko smiled at her enthusiasm. How could you not. She nodded in agreement before moving towards her and locking up with her in the middle of the ring. She grit her teeth, trying to push the idol back.
