September 27th 2013…
"Where's the young man you hang out with?" Hiro asked after the trio got into their seats on the plane.
"I… he and I kind of got into a little fight." Amanda explained, the 23 year old not wanting to go into too much detail about the full blown fight her and Seth had when she brought up the trip.
"Papa, just leave her alone. She's already went through so much. Beside, you made her pay her own ticket when we had the money." Yuki explained, before looking back down at the pamphlet on about her past performances in the past before her ankle injury a few years back.
Hiro let it drop and turned to his phone to call his wife and younger daughter as Amanda looked on her phone… and saw a text from Hunter.
'Have fun, kid. Sending you the directions to the arena, let's hope this deal goes off without a hitch.'
'I hope so too, Hunter.' Amanda replied.
"I'm glad you're here with me, Mandy. I wish we can do something different beside me going back into show business." Yuki explained.
Amanda leaned in and whispered to her, Yuki nodding and smiling.
"Are you sure?" Yuki whispered.
"It's been a while since I've been to Japan but it'll be fun." Amanda responded quietly.
"If you say so." Yuki said, before turning towards her father.
"Yuki. I don't want you and Amanda to get into trouble. You'll have your own hotel room with her and we're doing this for your benefit." Hiro explained.
"Whatever you say, Papa." Yuki said.
'Yeah, no trouble… whatever you say.' Amanda thought as she began to plot.
She had asked for this for a reason.
But she didn't know how much things would change.
It was 2 days later at the arena that the girls were getting ready.
"I can't believe that Becky snuck this into my duffel bag." Amanda responded after emerging from the room the girls were allowed to change in, wearing a black lace cami, black leather and lace skinny pants and black stiletto heels.
"Yeah, and is this too revealing?" Yuki questioned, as she wore a black leather jacket with a white tube top, red short skirt and black boots. "I went to the extreme right?" She questioned once more, as she pulled out a black tube of matte lipstick.
"It looks great on you. I'm the one who feels like I'm too tiny to pull off an outfit like this." Amanda responded, Yuki seeing that she was nervous.
"Hey, I'm nervous too. I'm out here, dressing like a skimpy ho, and what if my dad catches me like this and going out to see Prince Devitt. He made it clear. No fights in Japanese." Yuki explained.
"We'll be okay… and Becky told us she's known Devitt for 11 years so hopefully we'll be alright…" Amanda responded before she trailed off.
The door opened and the 32 year old walked in, Devitt looking right at Amanda as Tama smiled at Yuki.
"Oh my God, it's them!" Yuki screamed, before covering her mouth. "Sorry."
"It's okay, we get a lot of that. Hey, get on over there, don't be shy!" Tama replied, lightly shoving Devitt towards Amanda.
"Hi…" Amanda responded, her face a light red.
"Hello there…" Devitt replied, lightly bringing Amanda's right hand up to his mouth and kissing her fingers.
"So, um… we're going out somewhere?" Yuki questioned, nervously.
"Out to ringside for the match and then out to a nightclub later… and just how old are you two?" Devitt replied.
"I'm 23 and Yuki's 25." Amanda responded.
"Hey, is everything…" Luke replied as he and Karl walked in. "Mandy?!"
"Luke!" Amanda responded before the two old friends embraced each other for a few seconds and then he and Yuki hugged.
Little did the girls know how much things would change…
Present time, March 4th 2014…
Sleepy blue eyes opened slowly as the rain hit the windows, Devitt letting his vision adjust before he looked around… in one bed was a raven and teal haired woman and next to Devitt was the brunette he had been sharing beds with lately.
In a platonic sense, of course… most hotel rooms only had two beds and she didn't seem to mind sleeping next to him.
He heard her groan and saw her bury her head into the pillow before seeing the other woman was awake.
"Yuki, put the rubber bands down." Devitt responded.
"Then why you wake me up, Devitt?" Yuki questioned, tossing the small bag away from her.
"We've gotta get up soon anyway. Preferably before-" Devitt replied, Amanda sleepily lifting her head up when she heard yelling.
"I told you last night, when I left the bar, she was perfectly safe with him!"
"Oh yeah, until he got her completely drunk!"
Amanda groaned, rubbing her face as the arguing between Seth and Dean only ceased when they heard Roman yell "It's 7:30 in the morning, others are trying to sleep!".
"Wake me up… when it's 12…" Yuki said, before covering her head with her pillow, wanting to go back to sleep.
"How did you two put up with them for so long, Darlin'?" Devitt responded, lightly rubbing his right hand up and down Amanda's back.
"I honestly don't know." Amanda answered as Devitt held her shivering body to him to warm her up.
"Damn, your ass is freezing, Mandy." Yuki responded, trying to hold back laughter… until Amanda whacked the raven and teal haired girl with her pillow. "Hey!" She shouted.
"Oh relax, it's just a pillow." Amanda replied before she stood up and walked to the restroom, closing and locking the door behind her before they heard the shower running.
Standing up, Devitt opened the adjoining door and knocked on it before Seth opened the one on his side.
"You hate me, you've made that clear… now I'm gonna make this clear, the arguing is stressing Mandy out. So stop it and stop treating her like the damn enemy!" Devitt responded before they closed the doors.
"Uhh… too early!" Yuki said, before rolling out of the bed, landing on the floor. "Oww." She mumbled.
Devitt walked over, helping Yuki up and Yuki sitting down.
"You okay?" Devitt asked.
"Yeah… I'm just depressed about what happened the other day with my dad. He really did mean it. He let my late brother do whatever he wants, and he ended up getting shot during a match." Yuki said, before laying down on her back, looking up at the ceiling.
"No one knew that the guy had a gun. And Hiroki always did what he wanted, that would never change." Devitt responded, Yuki chuckling slightly at the last part.
"You're right." Yuki replied before she decided to get up.
