Reunion-Rematch: Haruka & Haruko (COMPLETE)

Haruka grunted as her bare feet ground across the hard surface of the mat. She was being pushed back easily, more easily than she expected, the ropes coming closer and closer despite her attempts to dig her heels and toes in. Haruko-chan's gotten much stronger... stronger than me!

Now knowing she was outmatched in the strength department, Haruka will try out the agility department. She would suddenly drop down and backwards while still holding on to Haruko for a monkey flip throw like the one that monkey girl liked to do to Mina Vice in that really embarrassing match a while ago.

Haruko could easily read the expression on Haruka's face, but she said nothing about it, just keeping her game face on. She then noticed her trying to drop backwards and throw her! Unfortunately, she had gotten a little quicker, but not quick enough to try and counter her move. She cried out as she was thrown backfirst into the ropes via monkey flip and then flopped onto her stomach with a soft grunt.

Unfortunately for Haruka, she had misjudged just how close the ropes were. And her slight bit of apprehension had made her put excessive power into her feet.

As it happened, when Haruko bounced off the ropes, she fell right on top of the very startled Haruka!

"Unf!" she grunted as Haruko "belly-slammed" her own belly. Instinctively Haruka made to protectively hug her belly- and maybe catch Haruko, who was on top of her.

Haruko groaned softly, not realizing she was on top of Haruka until she felt her grabbing her. The grab seemed to wake her out of the small daze she was in, and tried to struggle to break away from her.

Though partly dazed (and perhaps exactly because she was dazed), Haruka clung to Haruko like a leech. Her arms tightened around her friend's waist, a proper bear hug now. "Ngghhhh," Haruka grunted cutely.

Haruko groaned as she was locked in the bearhug, feeling those arms digging into her lower back, but then she tried to reach her arms out to grab the lower rope for a rope break.

Haruka's eyes being shut, she didn't see Haruka's hands on the ropes. So she kept on squeezing her friend's waist with all her might despite the rope break, her legs trying to hook around Haruka's right leg for anchorage.

"Ugghh.. h-hey! I have the ropes, Haruka!" She said when Haruka didn't let go.

"Eh?" Haruka finally opened her eyes to see the mess they were in. "Reh! Gomen!" She immediately released Haruko, then tried to help her friend get off her. "I-I didn't notice! I was distracted!"

Haruko breathed a sigh of relief when she was let go. "It.. it's ok. I've done the same thing myself." She admitted, starting to stand up with the support of the ropes.
