Yukino Fuyumi vs. Haruka Le Roux - Apex Qualifier Match

[CaptainL]

It seemed that merely dominating Yukino physically wasn't going to be enough for Haruka. No, she also wanted to make sure that if she was going to best her, she would humiliate her and make an example out of her in the process! At first, Yukino had been taken by surprise by the sudden and unexpected shift in her foe's tactics. Now, it was growing quite apparent what she was out to do - and when Yukino realized that, it made the hairs on the back of her neck stand on end as an icy chill ran through her from head to toe. Haruka was going to stop at nothing to shatter not just Yukino's body, but her pride. She could hear the malice dripping from her words, and it made her grit her teeth. Her cheeks would only blush harder as Haruka came in closer. She had planted that seed of embarrassment in her, and she was going to keep feeding it as long as it gave her the edge "K-Knock it off-!" she hissed, hugging her arm even tighter around her chest to protect herself from the blonde's grabbing hands. But Haruka had already made up her mind about what was going to happen - whether Yukino liked it or not!

In a flash, the white-haired girl's arm was wrenched away from her. But rather than strike at Yukino while she was vulnerable, Haruka was more content to grope her breast a second time! She'd already seen how effective it was as a psychological tactic; now, she was going to try and double down on her efforts to break Yukino's spirits! Once again, the girl squealed as she felt the pressure tighten around her breast, sending a jolt through her body. Reflexively, she tried to pull away. But Haruka had already tried this before - and this time, Yukino could come prepared. Without the element of surprise, it wasn't so bad. She could still think straight - and she could see her chances.

Haruka was restraining one of Yukino's arms, but the Winter Idol still had her legs. And now that Haruka was in close quarters, she was in range to strike! Gritting her teeth, Yukino struck straight up with her knee, attempting to slam it into Haruka's gut!

The first time was for shock. While she went for the boobs again groping them was part of her latest plan to take that humiliation to another level. Her hands would fiddle with the top Yukino used and tried to side her fingers through a dig at them from the inside to mess with her. Yukino had taken some offense to her words and the clear implication at what Haruka was doing now. It was only after a moment to process it that Yukino was back to retreating from her and dropping a knee to Haruka’s stomach. A sharp pain in her belly followed the knee connecting with Haruka feeling slowed by the move. She was too close to stop now and she needed to make them too close for any knees to follow it. Haruka ran through a few possibilities before picking one and moving her arm under Yukino’s still active one and then pulling Yukino in close now that she trapped the arm. She had to pull her into a Kata Gatame to keep them close together. Any knees would have less wind up and Haruka didn’t fear those punches. While she still wanted to work on that top Haruka could be flexible to avoid a beating.

[CaptainL]

Yukino didn't realize it, but in reacting the way she had, she had only emboldened her opponent further. She'd given away that she was anxious at the thought of being exposed in the middle of the ring - and that told Haruka that the thought of it represented a real and present danger for her. That only gave Haruka more of a reason to keep up with what she was doing! The white-haired girl's teeth came together in a grimace, and a shudder ran through her body as she felt Haruka's hands slip underneath her top, the fabric slipping to the side and growing dangerously close to her nipple. She was definitely growing bolder now - but then again, so was Yukino. She was desperate to prove that she wasn't a joke, and that she could handle her own in the ring. When Haruka seemed so desperate to humiliate her and bring her low, Yukino was all the more determined to fight back!

Sure enough, her knee swung upward, clipping Haruka in the gut and causing her to shudder as she shrunk back down. Haruka didn't let go, though - and Yukino was far from out of the woods. The blonde ducked lower, circling behind Yukino and hugging her arms around her as she pulled back at her arm to bring it under control. Letting out a gasp, the idol found herself restrained, her arm flopping helplessly in Haruka's grip. Yukino's frustrations were only growing more and more the more she struggled to free herself to no avail. She needed to stop Haruka now - not just for the sake of her dignity, but for the sake of her self-image. She had to prove she could overcome her, or she'd never forgive herself!

As she growled under her breath, Yukino would once again try to summon the strength she needed to resist Haruka any way she could. She brought her knees up beneath her, trying to brace them against the mat before she pushed off in an attempt to buck at her foe!

[Taskmaster12]

She was getting closer to something truly humiliating. The first time you were unwillingly exposed. Haruka had never seen someone famous so easily flustered and the curiosity was fighting with the need to win this match. Indeed as most of Haruka’s politeness had been facades by necessity she truly did find the human mind so tempting to poke at. Now she was breast to breast with a struggling Yukino while holding her close and feeling her move around trying to break Haruka’s grip. “Dear are you sure you want to do that? You might find freedom a little too ‘liberating’ if you break from me now.” The implications had to be running through her head. Yukino proved to be remarkably quick at recovering from shock so even with this done Haruka knew she had only moments to capitalize on it once it happened. She wondered if that was part of Yukino’s own mental fortitude or a product of her time as an idol? Being famous had to come with newfound stress and necessary ways of coping with it to survive such a high profile job. She was going to have to find. Even squeezing on Yukino hard like this didn’t prevent her struggles or stop her from making an escape attempt by bringing her knees down and pushing off them for a final spring! Haruka slipped up and Yukino’s push free her from Haruka’s Kata Gatame in an ingenious stroke by the idol. The only thought Haruka had in hope of a chance to recover was the state of Yukino’s attire after that mix up and if it was enough to distress her as Haruka envisioned?

[CaptainL]

For just a moment, Haruka's threats were enough to send a chill down Yukino's spine. She thought about how freeing herself might put her in the line of danger, opening herself up to further attacks from the blonde, and it made her stop for just a moment to ask herself if this was really so wise; if she really wanted to do this. But moments later, she clenched her teeth and shook the thought out of her head. It didn't matter. Yukino had come too close to breaking free to let that slow her down now. She knew what Haruka had in store for her if she fell behind, and she couldn't allow that to happen. She had to fight back - the consequences of not doing so would be worse!

Sure enough, with a bit more struggling, Yukino was able to wrench herself free of Haruka's hold, skidding across the mat to get away from her as she bucked her off! A smile crossed her face, and she breathed out a sigh of relief to find the pressure released, shaking out her arm to get some feeling back into the sore joints. Of course, she knew just as well that this match was far from over. Now that she was out, she looked back over her shoulder, setting her eyes on Haruka, where they narrowed into a glare. Her neckline was dangerously close to letting her breast slip out, but she couldn't let that slow her down now. This was her chance to make her move, and if she let Haruka get away, she already knew she'd regret it!

Sucking in a breath to steel her nerves, Yukino leaned over forward, bracing her hands and her knees against the canvas to support her weight. Then, she would fling her legs behind her to try and hit Haruka with a quick mule kick to the face, hoping to stun her before she got to her feet!

[Taskmaster12]

The outfit was still on. Dangling on her wet skin yet keeping itself steady. Yukino’s relief and Haruka’s disappointment were matched with the Nurse now planning to step back and think of another plan when Yukino pounced at her again. This time without looking in her direction! She only jumped and kicked her legs back to slam her feet into Haruka’s face before she could get out of range. The Haruka’s left check caved to the kick while her head flew too far back for Haruka to catch herself on her feet. She dropped to the mat with a wail while she scooted back with her feet. Wanting to get away from Yukino after a kick like that.

[CaptainL]

At last, Yukino had landed a blow, and Haruka had been thrown back. She could feel the impact of her feet against the blonde's face, and the rumble of the canvas told her that she had gone down. Now, at last, she had some time to recenter herself, where she wouldn't need to worry about Haruka sneaking up on her. Yukino breathed a sigh of relief, getting her knees beneath her and lifting herself to her feet. Then, though, she looked out toward the crowd with a smile on her face, and the cheers that came down from the fans only made her stand taller. She was turning things around - and they all believed she could. Now, she realized, she could do this after all!

She fixed her top before turning back around to Haruka, her eyes narrowing on the Frenchwoman with careful focus. Now that Haruka was down, Yukino was intent on pressing the advantage she had fought so hard for. Haruka was trying to slip away - but Yukino wasn't going to let her!

"You're not getting away that easily!" the idol shouted back in defiance! Letting out a battle cry, her leg snapped forward, as she aimed a superkick to Haruka's jaw!

[Taskmaster12]

Her bow was dangling close to her eye after a kick like that. How did she allow Yukino to kick her in the face with both goddamn feet? Haruka could start screaming in anger if that wasn’t extremely unprofessional and painful on her lips besides that. Haruka’s curiosity was starting to undo her and she knew that this was the same problem that her peers were thinking about her and; god help her, her boss too. While Haruka creeped up to her feet again Yukino was back at it and throwing another kick to Haruka’s head that hit a little too close to the first. Once again hitting her cheek and hitting her hard enough that she face was smarting as Haruka hit the mat again. Looking not much better than she did only a few moments ago after the mule kick.

[CaptainL]

Just a moment ago, Yukino might have been at Haruka's mercy - but now, no one could deny that she was turning things around. And with that knowledge came a rush of adrenaline! Now, as she rolled back to her feet, the white-haired girl stood taller, planting her hands on her hips and beaming with pride. Maybe, she realized, Haruka wasn't so intimidating after all. Maybe, if she was reeling from all the attacks Yukino threw her way, she really could beat her! Yukino nodded her head, now filled with a sense of purpose that took hold of her and caused her muscles to stiffen as she stood a little straighter. She had seen her chance - she couldn't turn her back on it now!

Haruka had gone down, but Yukino had no intention of letting her stay there for long! Without skipping a beat, she lunged in closer, bending down to snatch Haruka up and drag her head onto her shoulder. If that was successful, Yukino would throw herself backward, attempting to drive Haruka face-first against the mat with a DDT to keep the pressure on her!

[Taskmaster12]

When things didn’t work out you needed to try something else. Logic that carried Haruka through anything from her medical practice to a wrestling ring. She still thought going for the top was valuable so she needed to find some other way to pull off her plan. When Yukino charged at her again she knew what to expect. The idol was a charger when she had the advantage, it was time to punish that. Haruka would see her coming and bring a hand up to strike Yukino to stop that and instead go for a quick tackle to force her to the floor. Haruka wanted to restrict any chance of escape and go back to letting her boobs end this match by covering and smothering Yukino without her getting a chance to block her.
