Takaishi Taka's Debut! (for Harukasan)

After landing one last juicy elbow, Taka backed off slightly from Haruka. He thought he was going to need to wear down the bigger girl some more. So now he would go to slam his right shin into Haruka's midsection in the same, steady rhythm that had driven his elbows. Using his heavier, stronger legs would let him do more damage per hit. He didn't think of using his knee; basketball players were always afraid of knee damage.

Haruka gritted her teeth as Taka continued to pummel her body with his kicks. By now her phenomenal endurance was enabling her endorphins to kick in. She was building up a slight sweat but the kicks were starting to hurt less and less. This also enabled her rage to build up so that she started to pull out of her entanglement and once she was loose would try to grab for Taka's leg.

Taka was starting to wonder why Haruka didn't seem to be looking hurt despite his blows when she tore free of the ropes and grabbed his leg. "Yikes!" It was a measure of his training that, even as he exclaimed in shock, he tried to hop up and twist his body around for an enzeguri counter kick to Haruka's face using the back of his other leg.

Haruka's rage could make her more focused and dangerous. She therefore saw the incoming enzuiguiri and would duck it while trying to to hold onto Taka's leg. It would seems she was fairly agile for her size. If this was done, the moment she raised her head she would raise an elbow and try to drive it hard into the side of Taka's knee joint.

Taka gaped as his foot missed. She dodged? No way! That always works in WWE!

On his back, he screamed when Haruka's fist met his knee.

None of his trainers or sparring mates had deliberately hit him in such a brutal manner at a very fragile spot. And it didn't help that basketball wasn't exactly nice on the knees, either.

Taka wildly kicked out with his other leg. In pain, his foot wouldn't be accurate. His hands did find his knee. "Aaaaaaaahhh!"

Haruka now let him go and backed away as if giving him space. She could see he was hurt and would wait for him to rise. She would count on his knee being hurt that he might not be able to dodge as well now.

If he did rise she would try to explode at him with signature World Shaking clothesline finisher.

"Aaaahhh..." Taka continued to write upon the mat. Part of it was psychological. Few things worried a basketball player more than his knees.

He clutched his throbbing knee protectively. Shit... I can't get up... and if I can't get up, I'm screwed... and I'd be screwed if I get up, anyway...

Helpless, he struggled to roll towards the ropes, a semblance of sanctuary...

Haruka would see that taka had retreated to the ropes. As he pulled himself up, she would ehad over to him and rgab for his head. If she made contact she would start to drill him with about two ehad shots to the forehead.

Taka didn't pull himself up by the ropes, though. Sensing Haruka was right behind him, waiting to hammer him once he looked like he was recovering, Taka would instead slide beneath the bottom rope and out the ring. The crowd would instantly boo what would appear as cowardice, as Taka would hobble away from Haruka, using the rope to help hold up his injured side...

Haruka backed away a bit to center as Taka fled outside. She threw her arms up at his direction as if calling him down for his cowardice. She sneered to herself.

Men. Such cowards....
