Chapter 2: Enter Yosukeman

September2nd, 2012, 11:39 A.M.

"Wait...screw the tag match for now I just barely realized…don't YOU have a match like in a few hours?" recalled Yu.

Yosuke gasped, frantically replying, "Shit! I forgot…again. I have to go train. You might as well come along with me too partner!" Yu nodded as they departed to the Inaba Training Ground and thus, commenced to their training.

3:14 P.M.

Yosuke huffed as he finished up the last of weight craze and the perfecting of his signature move. Yu groaned as he observed his repeated attempts, mentally cringing in the process.

"You need to work on that spin a little more, you almost tripped and fell on your ass like eight times already" said Yu, sounding like a strict trainer.

"Oh excuse me Mister Expert! By the way, who's the one with the 'spot-fest' move and almost broke his damn neck the other day?!" Yu had to fight him verbally on this one.

"Damn it, for the four-hundred and thirty-eighth time, the ropes were slippery that day! I don't know how many times I let you know that, especially RIGHT when it happened!"

"Geez okay dude, no need to get hot about it…" Yosuke calmly said with a smirk. "Anyway, it's almost time for my match. Wish me luck man!" Yu nodded in affirmation as they departed to Junes for Yosuke's bout.

4:55 P.M.

Junes 5:00 P.M.

Yosuke observes himself in the mirror as he arrives at the newly placed fairground at Junes, trying to mentally prepare himself for his match with heated rival Junpei Iori. As he reflects to his training throughout the spring and summer, he consequently remembers his constant struggling as well, which haunts him to this day as he would occasionally join Yu on select days, despite Yu being a lone trainer for the most part. As he snaps out of his reverie, he begins to silently doubt himself as he is subsequently called by the referee.

"You're up in five seconds Hanamura! Iori already made his entrance cuttin' his nasty promo!" remarked the ref.

"Oh…..okay cool thanks for the heads up." Yosuke said lamely.

"You alright kid? You seem a little off today…well more so than usual", wondered the ref.

"Y-yeah I'm fine, just been doing a lot of thinking is all, just reflecting on myself as a performer and as a person…" he said as he sulked.

"Well hurry up reflect your ass to the ring kid! I ain't got all day! I got a hot date with…..well absolutely no one but that's beside the point!" stammered the ref.

Yosuke rolled his eyes as he prepared to make his entrance towards his impending opponent and legitimate heated enemy.

INTERMISSION OVER

Yosuke walked up to the curtain as his music, "Superhero" began to blare. The relatively small crowd applauded the underdog as he made his way down to towards the ring apron. The crowd attendees consisted mostly of locals of Inaba, but notables such as Yu, Chie, Rise and even Teddie were also present to cheer Yosuke; however, on the opposite end, Yu's nemesis Minato Arisato calmly sat back as he glared daggers at Yu's direction. The unfriendly gesture was shrugged off as Yosuke entered the ring.

"Well if it isn't the Junes Asshat himself!" Junpei retorted on the microphone. "Looks like we got a scrawny little 'underdog' fella for me to pick apart hell, this shouldn't take too long seeing as you're just as weak as Konishi was!"

The crowd gasped, went quiet, and gradually started booing Junpei as he continued to elicit heat.

Yosuke stood tall, trying to maintain his composure as Junpei continued his now-unscripted tirade. Minato simply continued his mental note-taking, obviously amused at the situation.

"WHAT?!" That was uncalled for! Kick his ass Yosuke! Show him who's boss and shut his damn mouth because that wasn't just for show! This is just goddamn ridiculous!" Chie yelled with that trademark passion in her voice, which consequently made Yu's face flush upon it happening, in which he subsequently tried to shake it off. Yosuke noticed this and mentally laughed despite the heated and personal situation he was in.

Junpei smirked as he continued, snapping Yosuke out of his internal breather, "Yeah! You heard me right Hanamura! I'm sure Saki saw through your bullshit at least from the dirt I got! YOU never had a chance and now I'm gonna bury your short-lived career along with her!" he screamed on the mic.

This was it. Yosuke had enough and obviously reached a breaking point. He slapped Junpei in the face and fired with two punches to the face, succeeded by a discus forearm to the jaw, knocking Junpei down. Despite being dominated in the weight and height portion, he was jacked from his somewhat extensive training and coupled with adrenaline, was able to knock the larger Iori down for a while before he got back up, noticing the blood now trickling from his lower lip.

The bell rang as Junpei inaudibly said, "Alright motherfucker, you wanna blindside me? Let's dance then you stupid bastard!"

The fight was on as the match commenced…

Attempted Cliffhanger! Well there you have it, Junpei's a dick (which will be explained much later), Yosuke's on a rampage, Yu's feeling uneasy for several reasons and this fight certainly won't be pretty! Thank you again and stay tuned if you may choose to do so!

1:18 AM: Anthofitzgerald is outta here.
