Establishing Dominance: Finlay Zeffer vs Haruka Ito

[Bare]

Finlay had grown up on rough and tumble streets, fighting for both respect and coin to support himself. The first thing he learned from those days was focus was key. It didn't matter if who you were fighting someone younger or older than you, opposite gender from you, prettier than you whatever. You fought as long as you could as hard as you could. No exceptions. It was a philosophy he had carried over to his work in pro wrestling and especially to LAW where all too many men let their emotions get the better of them in the ring. After all he liked to consider himself a proud person and he was here to win, so the idea of losing to anyone because he let himself get distracted by their looks was absolutely humiliating to him. But there were.. moments where he would admit it got hard to keep such focus for one reason or another.

This was one such moment now. As despite the small and lithe form of his opponent, she still had a fairly impressive sized chest that bounced in a very noticeable way when he landed the backbreaker on the supposed mythical wrestler. Despite the damage he had managed to do however it appeared it wasn't quite enough to fully stun or keep her down for long. Much to his surprise and shock a fist suddenly flashed upwards, the small and hard fist driving into his jaw turning his head to the side and momentarily making his brain skip a beat from the shock.

Stunned from the blow to the jaw the blonde was left vulnerable to his opponent who quickly wrapped her arms around his head, holding him down and craning his neck in a unnatural way as he was now left to regret the current position he had brought the two into from his own move. Somehow Haruka had managed to do take the disadvantageous position he had put her in and turn it into her advantage as with his head restricted as it was he wasn't able to see, let alone defend himself. As a result a hard knee buried into the side of his head making him go cross eyed from the impact. "GAH!" Yelling from the impact of the move Finlay instinctively released Haruka and if the dark haired beauty released his head he would flop flat on his back one hand going to his head as he tried to blink the stars from his eyes.

Being used to pain it meant that Haruka was going to be able to take much more than a backbreaker to put her down, she'd taken blows all around her chest and hadn't fallen down from it. Her martial art clan background demanding her to be made of tough stock, this was hidden well by her Lady Tengu persona. One might not expect such a haughty individual to be able to take a beating, but deception was part and parcel of a Tengu's nature and thus she had indulged in it and took Finlay by surprise there thanks to the way her curvy body lulled him ever so slightly into tasting the honed blows that only were attained from years of martial art practise such as the one Haruka did. She grunted after hitting the mat after Finlay was sent for a loop, however Lady Tengu rolled over to get on her hands and knees and gave a little smirk.

Haruka then slowly stood back up, wincing slightly at the numbing pain in her back. Seeing Finlay there on the ground gave the Tengu an idea, after taking a brief moment to admire the broad frame her maori opponent had Haruka decided that it was perfect for her to display a move that she had practised in private. Sweeping her hair back to show her lovely face Haruka would suddenly stride forward and heft up and then suddenly bring her right leg down hard on Finlay's gut! After this Haruka would grind her bare foot on his chest followed by her striking a classic Kabuki pose there as she yelled out "Behold! Witness my splendour with The Tengu's Pose!"

After this Haruka would then leap backwards, followed by some slight hopping back as well in a manner further akin to a kabuki dancer all the while shouting "Eyooooooooooooooooooooooo!" which earned several loud cheers and hollers from those in attendance after which Haruka would then let Finlay have a moment there to let the magnificence of being strode upon by such an otherworldly being subside~

Finlay knew from experience that women in this company were not to be underestimated. Surprisingly enough especially lightweights. In Finlay's humble opinion at least that particular division was filled to the brim with some of the toughest girls this company had. So as such it came as no surprise to him that the back breaker wasn't enough to defeat Tengu, rather only being a solid method in softening her up. What he had not expected though was for the sheer flexibility and creativity in which she did so. That was something that had greatly impressed the blonde, probably the first thing in fact that really impressed him so far from the girl.

Looking up Finlay was just in time to see his opponent sweep her dark hair out of her face in some kind of taunt, unintentionally taking a moment longer than he should to admire the toned and compact physique of his opponent. A moment Tengu was sure to punish him for as swift as lightning the smaller girl would raise her leg before bringing it down on his chest! "Gah!" Yelling in pain as her foot made impact with his chest the wind was knocked out of him making him gasp and grit his teeth as the foot ground into his pectorals.

But much to his surprise his opponent didn't press her advantage further and instead opted to.. dance? Blinking in confusion Finlay watched as she did a dance that vaguely reminded the blonde of those Japanese dancers with the make up, although he wasn't quite sure why she decided to do it now he watched the impromptu performance. If for no other reason out of confusion but either way it left him distracted and open to a follow up attack from the eccentric woman!

[Deus001]

Haruka enjoyed performing, her natural charismatic nature shone through when she took to the stage with an elaborate costume and a dramatic tone in her voice. Perhaps this was why she appeared to be such a natural in the wrestling ring despite it being her debut match proper, she was already a talented fighter, but it took more than just that to make it from what her friends told her. You needed to stand out but with Haruka it came with the caveat that she must hide her true identity from her clan lest she be punished, rather than take it as a hindrance Haruka instead took it with gusto! And made a powerful statement with her attack followed by a nice little dance, entrancing and enticing the crowd as her chest jiggled pleasantly in response from her little performance.

There was more to this than just Haruka being playful however, this 'human' was becoming clear to her in terms of her desires. This strapping lad could was proving himself well thus far, should he satisfy the Tengu enough he may even be deemed worthy of her most hidden secret that would be revealed legit by the deceptive and seductive otherworldly being. Hence why Haruka ensured her curvy figure danced well for him~ A mere sample of what the Tengu could offer should fate play out in a certain way~

It seemed that Finlay wasn't expecting such a bizarre and unorthodox display from Haruka however, as he remained there transfixed by the Tengu's deceptive movements. A seductive smirk was on the lady's features as she stated "Impressive indeed yes human? Behold I am one with the wind!" with that Haruka would break out into a couple of rapid spins to build momentum before trying to clip him in the head with a buzzsaw kick!

Finlay had been a wrestler for many years and a fighter for even more. Having grown up on the streets, forced to brawl and scrap to survive with very little time for fantasy or whimsy. The most he got out of the latter being a tv program, ironically about wrestling. But needless to say Finlay was a practical man that lived by what existed in front of him and what he could do in the moment or how he could improve in the future. Abstract things like art or performance just didn't matter to him in the long run of things. But just because he didn't particularly care about such things didn't mean they didn't capture his interest... if for no other reason than due to confusion.

That was where he was at now. He would admit that so far this Tengu was tougher than he gave credit for. But gimmicks like hers just didn't make sense to him. Especially when said gimmick led to the girl above him doing a strange dance of sorts above him after knocking the wind from his chest. But she made the mistake of letting him recover, something he intended on making her pay for.

Or at least... that was the plan. Whilst she started to spin around for some reason Finlay began pushing himself up, getting his knees under him first, intent on charging the Tengu the moment she faced him again in her spin... Except that wouldn't happen. Instead faster than he was able to react, either offensively or defensively the leg of the Tengu would lash up and before he could so much as put his arms up he ate quite literally a kick to the face. "GAH!" Eyes going cross eyed as he screamed in pain Finlay stayed on his knees for a moment before collapsing onto his side and rolling over onto his back, dazed from the hard impact to his head.

[Deus001]

Haruka's persona might have undersold it, but she was very much just as lethal in her Lady Tengu persona. Finlay might have caught on sooner than most about the secret, that underneath the seductive and otherworldly being lay a lady that was deeply rooted in martial arts. If her toned thighs and poised feet were anything to go by, oh and also that sudden swift smack to the side of the head of the maori lad! Haruka smiled as her blow connected.

Lady Tengu's performance was great in the eyes of the crowd if their loud cheers were anything to go by, after connecting her blow with Finlay's head the sultry trickster would tilt her head to one side and go "Ohohohooho~" in a very dignified manner that befit her noble lineage! After Finlay tasted the canvas there Haruka took another moment to admire the broadness of his frame, yes, such a delightful example of a human warrior. Haruka would edge down close to him, almost in a gliding manner akin to if she still had wings attached to herself. The Tengu would place herself close to Finlay's chest and begin to go for a pin attempt, resting her heavenly bosom atop his solar plexus and would lean her head into his ear. Her untied black hair would cascade down near him to create a sense of intimacy as the Tengu craved a sense of drama to it all!

"Ara Ara~ Are you comfortable dearie? Well.....I hope your not done, I'm wanting further enjoyment~"" Haruka muttered into his ear in a deep, husky laden tone before blowing lightly into it. Tempting as it was Haruka wanted more here, she wanted this lad to rise back up and satisfy her hunger more!

[Bare]

Finlay refused to underestimate anyone. It was a self imposed rule that he did his best to not break since it was a guaranteed way to put oneself into a disadvantage and and lose. However just because he didn't underestimate opponent's didn't mean he wasn't taken by surprise by them. In particular was the Tengu who's otherworldly antics and personality just threw him off entirely!

It was why despite being able to move he instead watched the entirety of it in sheer and utter confusion, not quite knowing what the purpose of her actions until it was too late. As such he had taken a buzzsaw kick to the face laying the blonde out before he even knew what had hit him. "Ugh..." He groaned out softly trying to sit up, his jaw throbbing in pain from his opponent's foot. However he wasn't even able to sit up fully before his opponent was upon him once again, draping herself on his body leaving a warm yet heavy sensation all across him. In addition he felt a light tickling feeling across his face making him twitch and shift from the sensations as his eyes cracked open, a shiver running down his spine from the dark haired girl's breath against his ears.

In any other situation he knew that most men would be entirely content to enjoy the position with such a beautiful young woman. He himself would admit that he didn't NOT enjoy the soft, warm sensation resonating from his solar plexus where her chest was. However the thing was... he wasn't like most men in this company.

ONE!"

The moment the ref hit the mat in response to the pin it was like a jolt surged through his body, disrupting the peaceful world Tengu had created. Before the ref had a chance to continue the count Finlay arched his whole back up while turning on his side sharply! "Not even close!" He'd roar out in response to Tengu's question, nowhere close to done and showing it as he broke the pinfall attempt with gusto!

[Deus001]

Truth be told, Haruka was wanting more. She was wanting to sate her hunger regardless of the outcome, here she was managing to disobey her clan's wishes and find herself a strapping lad that she could sink her teeth into. The Tengu in her was pleased by the fact that Finlay was able to at least seemingly resist the sultry and deceptive tricks that she was employing here, it meant that he was a cut above the so called male wrestlers that Haruka was told about. Which also meant that he might be worthy of learning the true form that was Lady Tengu, of course just because he could handle a good punt to the head wasn't enough for Haruka to show her secret......But it was a start at least.

After Finlay yelled and shoved off the Ito lady the girl grunted as she was shunted off to the side with her bosom jiggling lightly, but a small smile still remained on the voluptuous martial artist. Haruka would sweep her raven hair backwards and loudly say "Ara~ Keen to indulge your otherworldly guest more I see, delightful~" the Tengu would crouch more on her petite feet as she sized him up again. No doubt the lad was keen to resume combat and Haruka was more than eager to respond with it as she licked her lips in ardent satisfaction at the stamina of this strapping lad!

Deciding to assume a more aggressive approach Haruka would get into a crouched position, almost as if she were like a beast hunched over intent on consuming its prey. Right before she tried to dive in close at the maori warrior and seek to shoot an elbow at his jaw like a blade aimed and poised to strike!

[Bare]

The offense from his otherworldly opponent had been surprising to say the least, not just the strength behind each blow but the skill and creativity that went into each one. If he wasn't sure of it before he was now. This Tengu was a very, very skilled martial artist, far more so than her gimmick and attitude let on. Such a opponent was trick and dangerous to say the least and the blonde knew that going forward he would have to be careful.. after all if she continued to lay onslaughts of strikes the way she had been than he'd definitely be done.

For now however he at least managed to push her off of him and get some distance as he rolled away. Pushing himself up he held his jaw for a moment while locking his gaze onto Haruka with a apprehensive look in his eyes. This wasn't the type of opponent he could or would take lightly, and the moment that the woman came at him was when he would move.

Thankfully he wouldn't have to wait long. Seemingly motivated by the momentum she had so far the Tengu was quick to dash at him once again, her arm pulling back for some type of strike. 'Not a surprise there just have to act accordingly.' He thought to himself as he tensed his muscles as best as he could. Then as she approached, throwing her arm forward Finlay suddenly sprung into action like a big cat pouncing on its prey. Turning sharply on his heel he would throw an arm up, attempting to hook it over Tengu's. If it worked than Finlay would work to bring his other arm around to hook it under the dark haired beauty's other arm for a full nelson. If successful Finlay would narrow his eyes before swinging his leg up to drive his knee into the base of Haruka's spine.

"Indulge isn't the word I'd choose." He would say, or more like growl softly into his opponent's ear in response to her teasing words before trying to resume her offense. If uninterrupted Finlay would send another knee up into the base of Tengu's spine again. Once done the larger male would then haul Tengu up, before throwing himself backwards, aiming to slam his opponent into the mat with a dragon suplex!

[Deus001]

Haruka was keen to slake her thirst, Finlay had been thus far been enough to bring out the playful side of the Tengu. However she had been feeling a tad overeager here, it had been a blindspot in Haruka that her parents had seen in the girl. During spars Haruka could leave herself open with her penchant for experimenting new forms of offence, many a time she'd gone for an unorthdox or very grand move that was way too telegraphed and would end up tasting the floor for her hubris. Still didn't stop her then and it wouldn't have stopped her now and Finlay seemed all too eager to take advantage of the Tengu's bad habits as he expertly countered Haruka's attempt at delivering a swift strike with a counter. Haruka in one swift motion was detained into a full nelson! Such a fluid motion told Haruka that her foe was indeed practised, likely had been kicked while he was down in street fights it seemed.

Regardless the strapping lad would proceed to give Haruka some stiff shots, delivering a knee right into Haruka's spine! Sending jingles of pain all up the Tengu's nervous system, fortunate indeed for had the lad hesitated Haruka might have decided to do a nice little grind of her heart shaped rear end against his hips. But instead her thought process was pain, however after her painful yelp came a low moan as Finlay muttered into her ear. It seemed Haruka was all too keen to mix pain with pleasure even when she was the one taking it!

Before long however Finaly followed it up with another spine bending knee blow that nearly made Haruka leap up into the air from the jolt of it. The maori lad decided to add a coup de grace by suddenly tossing the Tengu bodily into a Dragon Suplex, instantly Haruka's vision went topsy turvy and she let out a loud "Guck!" before laying in a crumpled heap with her rear end propping upwards as stars spun around in her vision. The Tengu seemed humbled here by the broad warrior, much to Haruka's dismay!
