I was looking around on Fanfiction and curiously found several wrestling stories, which strung my interest. I honestly never thought I'd see stuff like this popping up, so I looked for a bit. Some are okay, others made no sense and so on. So, I thought I'd give it a try. So, this story will revolve around the pairing Asuka and an OC of mine. If you like the story please let me know and how I can improve. If not, let me know anyway. Enjoy! Be sure to review!

The Man of Mischief

Chapter One: A Tricky Debut

Asuka had just completed her debut match at TLC, defeating her old Rival, Emma. She had just signed on to Raw and already feels tired. Despite this, she decides to check on the other matches. On her way to the main screen room, she came across Shinsuke Nakamura, who was just cutting a promo and putting over some of the Superstars he had faced. After the interview, Asuka walked up to him and greeted him, bowing respectfully. Shinsuke smiled and bowed back. The two spoke in their Japanese language, talking about their matches and the effort put in by their opponents.

After Nakamura left to watch the rest of the show, Asuka made to follow, until she saw something that caught her eye; looking towards the entrance, she noticed Michael Cole interview someone who looked familiar to her. His jet black hair was tied up in a short ponytail and he had bright blue eyes, sporting a dark green leather jacket over a green and black shirt with the words 'Loki Lives' in cursive on the front, faded blue jeans and black boots. She seemed to remember him from somewhere, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

"Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Michael Cole," Michael spoke into the microphone. "And joining me tonight is the debuting Adrian Loki." He turned to him. "Tell us, Adrian; though you're not debuting tonight at TLC, you will be making your debut later on tomorrow. How do you feel about that?"

"Honestly, Cole, a bit disappointed." The young man shrugged. "I've waited so long for a big moment like this and the old man had me debuting on Raw instead of a big pay-per-view? Vince must be losing his touch." He then smirked smugly. "However, though I'm not in the pay-per-view tonight, at least I'm debuting now tomorrow rather than never."

"And tomorrow, on Monday night Raw, your debut match will be against Sheamus." Michael continued. "How do you like your odds?"

"Pretty confident, actually." Adrian chuckled. "I've seen Sheamus wrestle, he's a tough sumbitch, but he's nothing compared to me."

"Are you saying that you're going to win?" Michael asked, causing Asuka to shake her head.

'What else could you assume he's saying?' She thought.

"No, Michael, I'm gonna lose to Sheamus with no chance in Hell." Adrian said sarcastically, rolling his eyes. "Of course I'm saying I'm going to win! What kind of dumb question is that?" He then sighed. "Anyways, I've been waiting a long time for this; I fought for this since my time in all of the big wrestling companies; TNA, Independent Circuit, NJPW, Ring of Honor, the list goes on…"

That bit kind of shook Asuka a little bit. The name, his very appearance, even the places he's said to have wrestled at; she instantly recognized him.

That was Adrian James, a man she knew since they were children. Adrian was abandoned as a child, only six years old; no one knew who his parents were, though Asuka's father adopted him and the two quickly became close as siblings. The two grew even closer due to their interest in wrestling, even forming a blood oath to leave a mark in the wrestling industry. The two started training and soon made their wrestling debut, with Adrian leaving a mark in the NJPW, and Asuka wrestled in AtoZ, with Adrian as her manager. The duo did well, until Asuka suddenly retired due to chronic nephritis, though Adrian retired as well, refusing to leave her side, bringing them even closer. When the two returned, however, they began to drift apart because of their own dreams and ambitions, and the two haven't seen each other ever since.

Now he's back, and now she was curious as to what brings him to the WWE. He certainly took his sweet time.

"Now I'm here, at the top of the wrestling ladder," Adrian went on with a smirk on his face. "Maybe I'll make some new friends, meet some old faces, and make new enemies…hopefully the first two." He chuckled. "Who knows? I'm just ready to leave my mark, like I dreamed of as a kid." He looked at the camera. "Don't worry, WWE Universe; tomorrow, you will witness the Second Coming of Ragnarok, the Man of Mischief, and the Prince of Lies and the Ultimate Trickster…Adrian. Loki."

'Same egomaniac as always.' Asuka shooked her head, almost chuckling.

Though he was devoted to Asuka, Adrian was always a trouble maker with a massive ego. When he's not spending time helping Asuka train, he's causing havoc; pranking other Superstars, spreading lies and pitting others against each other, and generally cause trouble for everyone. Hence the monikers 'Man of Mischief 'and 'Prince of Lies' and of course the 'Ultimate Trickster'.

Asuka doesn't agree with Adrian's methods, but she cared deeply for him, but always worries that he may step on the wrong foot.

"And there you have it, folks!" Michael declared, facing the camera. "Adrian Loki will be making his debut tomorrow on Monday Night Raw, so look forward to that!"

After Michael left, Adrian let out a sigh of relief, before looking over to where Asuka was, both looking back at each other with eyes wide with surprise. The stare off lasted for what seemed like forever, a gentle smile crept upon his face, and Asuka's head lowered a bit, her eyes still trained on her old friend.

After what seemed like forever, Adrian finally turned and left, leaving Asuka with his heart beating at such a fast rate. No one ever made her heart beat so fast, except maybe Adrian. She doesn't understand how he does it with that smile, but damn he does it well.


The next day, after most of the matches, Asuka was in the women's locker, after another tough match. Nikki Bella sure is tricky, but Asuka saw right through the twins tricks and got the win.

Now, the last match was Adrian's debut match and Asuka was looking forward to it. It's been a long time since she last saw Adrian wrestle. She couldn't help but wonder what he brings to the ring.

After Sheamus came out, with Antonio Cesaro at ringside, she watched as the lights went out, and the song *Me Against The World* by Simple Plan began to play, with green mist appearing on the stage. As the lights slowing came back on, there he stood; Adrian Loki, wearing green and black wrestling tights and black wrestling boots and a green trench coat over a tight black, long-sleeved shirt and black gloves and holding what looked like a golden cane with a snake head handle, his hair was down and he looked towards the ring with a smug look on his face, as he raised his cane high as fireworks went off behind him and the crowd cheered loudly, welcoming the Trickster, as he made his way to the ring, the fans reaching out for a high five or a handshake, only for Adrian to callously ignore them, as he slid into the ring and posed on the top rope, holding his cane high, receiving a loud cheer from the crowd.

"And his opponent," The ring announcer, Lillian Garcia, declared through the microphone. "From Kyoto, Japan, weighing in at 172 pounds, he is the Man of Mischief, the Second Coming of Ragnarok, the Prince of Lies and the Ultimate Trickster…ADRIAN LOKI!"

Asuka watched as Adrian sets his cane to the side and removed his trench coat. He was fairly built, though not as much as other wrestlers like John Cena or Brock Lesnar. He didn't look like he was Japanese either; he looked more like an American.

The bell rang for the match to start and the two wrestlers circled each other in the ring, while Cesaro cheered for his friend at ringside. The two stared each other down, Sheamus saying Adrian has no place in the same ring as him, pushed him, only for the Trickster to respond by slapping Sheamus in the face, angering the Celtic Warrior, as he ran towards him, only for the Trickster to sidestep and run him into the turnbuckle, dazing him, allowing Adrian to roll him up for the pin.

Asuka was shocked at how short that was. Usually, Adrian would take his time with his opponents, scout for any weaknesses to exploit, but this was just too short.

As Adrian celebrated on the top rope, Sheamus was seething with anger at such a humiliating defeat at the hands of a newcomer, and got up and charged at the Trickster, only for said trickster to duck under a clothesline, bouncing from the ropes and hitting Sheamus with a spear, before unleashing a flail of punches. Seeing Antonio climbing up the apron, Adrian quickly ran over and hit him with an elbow smash to the face, knocking him down to the floor. Adrian looked at the ropes, then at Antonio, who was struggling to get to his feet, then bounced from the ropes and jumped over, hitting Cesaro with a somersault, knocking Cesaro down, Adrian popping back up and getting a massive pop from the crowd.

Asuka watched as Adrian tossed Sheamus out of the ring, smirking before frowning and shaking his head in disappointment, then gathered his trench coat and cane and made his way up the ramp. Asuka could tell he seemed disappointed.

Deciding she should try to say hello, she went off to find him. She found him exiting the men's locker room, carrying a duffle bag.

"Well that was a disappointment." He said aloud, unaware of Asuka's presence. "First not making my debut at TLC, now my debut match lasting only less than a minute. I'll have to make up for it next week."

As Adrian mumbled to himself, Asuka walked up to him.

"Mōichido, Eidorian." She greeted in her native language.

Instead of jumping, Adrian simply smirked, before turning to face her.

"Ā, utsukushī ashita no kōgō." He responds, doing his best to remember the language he grew up with. "Dono yō na hijō ni kitai sa reta odoroki."

Asuka chuckled.

"Well, it is good to see that you haven't forgotten the language of your home country."

"Hey, just because I've been away from Japan a long time, doesn't mean I've neglected." Adrian pouted, offended. "You wound me, Kana-Chan."

Asuka blushed when Adrian added the honorific title at the end of her name. Even when they were young, Adrian always talked to people using those honorific titles. He wanted to show respect in his own way, sure, but sometimes, he does it to tease people, like he's doing it with Asuka now.

"I…saw your match earlier." She said, hoping to change the subject. "You…seemed disappointed."

"Aye, you can say that." Adrian huffed, frowning. "I was hoping for more of a challenge, especially from the Celtic Warrior."

"Well, perhaps things will be different." Asuka suggested. "I heard that you may face someone more challenging."

"Perhaps," Adrian sighed, before smirking. "Well, I'd best be going. Until then," He bowed to her respectfully. "Watashitachi ga futatabi au koto o negatte imasu, enpuresu."

As Asuka bowed in return, Adrian planted a quick unexpected kiss on her forehead, surprising her, making her blush even deeper, as Adrian straightened up smirking.

"Namaste, Empress."

And with that, he turned and left, leaving Asuka with a fast beating heart and a very red face.

"Did…did he just…?"
