Reunion-Rematch: Haruka & Haruko (COMPLETE)

Haruka huddled into herself as she hugged her shoulder. "I-ittai..." After several seconds of nursing herself, she slowly got on her feet while whimpering. "G-good move, Haruko-chan..."

Haruko cringed in pain from the punch to her knees before slowly recovering from it and getting up to her feet. "It's... not over yet... Haruka.." She said, trying to shake off the pain in her knees

"I... I know!" Haruka winced right after that declaration. She clutched her shoulder even tighter to try fight down the pain.

Not good... I've seriously slowed Haruko-chan down, but I can't use my right arm effectively anymore... that leaves me my left hand... I got to finish this now!

Taking a deep breath, she began whirling her left arm as if winding up for a baseball pitch. It was a rather ostentatious psyching up for her Haruka Panchi left straight, the idol girl aiming for a knock-out!

Haruko concentrated hard, seeing Haruka winding up for a punch. She had to move NOW. She darted in, but it was too late. Haruko took the punch straight to the jaw... but she kept moving forward. She drew her arm back as her momentum kept her going. Honestly, she had practically blacked out at this point, her body almost moving on it's own as she drew back her fist, and threw it up HARD into the idol's gut before flopping forward to the mat, unconscious.

Haruka's lips tore open, only to gag on her scream, Haruko's fist doubling her over. The explosion of pain in her gut was too much to take. Her emerald pupils glazed, rolled up to reveal her whites.

She slumped forward as if boneless. Inadvertently the unconscious girls held on to each other, Haruka's left arm wrapped around Haruko's head, Haruko's fist still dug into Haruka's gut. That precarious hold pulled on them so that they landed on their fronts at the same time for a double knock out.

Haruko laid motionless on the ground, her jaw smarting badly from that punch from the idol. In her mind, she thought she had lost, unaware that she had managed to keep control of her body long enough to answer back with a blow of her own before flopping forward.

Haruka likewise lay lifeless beside her opponent. Her last thought had been of shock over the doughty cat girl pulling a last-second draw on her.

Masato found them there ten minutes later. He'd grown worried when Haruka didn't return his calls, being sure that his ward and her friend would call a time out first to deal with a call. Now he stared at the unconscious pair in disbelief that slowly turned into wry amusement.

"Okay... next time, I'm watching..."
