Kaishi

It was a great night to be in Las Vegas. The lights were bright and you could tell that there was a feeling in the air to bet it all on black. A woman was walking through the halls of the local arena there, where Monday Night Raw was currently going on live. The woman smiled when she stopped to see a man standing there speaking to the production staff.

"What's the crack fella?"

The man turned around the to the woman and smiled a great big smile. The two hugged and then the man looked the woman up and down before giving her another hug. The two laughed as they just looked over each other. The man was Sheamus and the woman was a former training partner of his.

"It has been a long time Christie Taylor. How are you doing?"

"I am wonderful Sheamus. Finally recovered from the last training session we were in."

The two laughed. Christie and Sheamus trained for a while before Sheamus made it big and Christie went off in search of her passion. Christie looked around a bit and then turned back to Sheamus. The tall red haired man looked a bit puzzled at the woman and just sighed a bit.

"You look like you are searching for treasure. What are you looking for?"

Christie just sighed. Sheamus finally noticed the envelope with Japanese writings on it and looked at her quizzically. Christie blushed and chuckled meekly.

"Have you seen Tensai?"

Sheamus was thrown off guard for a bit. Christie played around with the envelope a bit as she continued to look around for for Tensai. Sheamus wrapped his arm around her shoulder and chuckled that hearty chuckle that always put her at ease.

"What on earth do you want to do with Tensai? I mean...he is a powerhouse..."

"Sure he is, but you told me in training that if I wanted to make a name for myself, the opportunities are not going to come to me. I have to go to them. Besides...after the dance off, I think he needs a friend. We all need some kindness every now and again."

Sheamus smiled at Christie. Sheamus pointed down the hall where Tensai was standing and Christie said goodbye to Sheamus. She then made her way down the hall and held the envelope with a tight grip. As she approached the tall gentleman, Tensai looked over towards her. Christie walked up to Tensai and then bowed. Tensai bowed slowly, and looked at Christie with a puzzled look on his face. Christie handed the envelope to Tensai in the same manner a business man would hand his business card in Japan. She took the envelope by the corners and held it out. Tensai smiled a small smile and took the other two corners, with the two bowing towards each other. As Tensai took the letter, Christie quietly said something in Japanese to Tensai.

"Arigatō."

Christie turned and began to walk away from Tensai. Tensai looked down at the front of the envelope. He saw the Japanese symbols and smiled. He then looked back up to see Christie turn the corner towards the locker rooms. Tensai looked back down and then read the front of the envelope out loud.

"Tensai e. Toki ni suru koto ga dekimasu o yomi kudasai. Whatever...or whoever this girl is...she has my interest."

He opened the letter and saw that it was written in Japanese. Tensai smiled because it took him back to his time in Japan and the time he wrestled there. He whispered the letter to himself with a smile on his face.

Tensai wa, watashi wa hontōni chōdo anata ga watashi wa anata ga kakutō mimamoru koto o kōei ni omoimasu koto o shitte moraitai. Karera wa anata o atsukau hōhō wa, jōdandesu, to watashi wa anata no soba ni itai. Toki ni watashi ni denwa shite, anata wa watashi no" sābisu" ni kyōmi o motte iru baai.

Tensai held the letter close to his chest for a moment and looked down at what he was wearing. Yes, he was wearing his wrestling gear but he was also wearing women's lingerie. Tensai looked back down at the letter and began to make his way towards his locker room.
