"They look like they're having fun." Tama replied as Yuki drank another shot of Sake and Amanda and Devitt danced to September by Earth, Wind and Fire.
"Yeah, they are. What else could happen here in Japan? Hell, I expect someone to sing badly if they're drunk as fuck now." Yuki stated. "What about you? You having fun or what?"
"Damn right… and Okada should be around soon enough, probably to sing." Tama responded.
"Mhm, I can't." Yuki said, before downing another shot. "What else can we do until then, Tama?"
Tama led her to the dance floor and the two danced… at the same time, Hiro had walked in through the doors.
"Sir, you can't just barge in here!" The bouncer responded after pulling the man aside.
Hiro started yelling in Japanese as the bouncer's eyes widened in shock, while backing away from the older man. "Okay, okay, you're in sir." He said.
Hiro looked around, seeing Amanda in a white mini dress and red stiletto heels as she and Devitt danced and talked in low voices.
"Amanda!" Hiro shouted, causing the brunette to jump in shock.
"Family, lass?" Devitt replied.
"Yuki's dad." Amanda replied before looking at Yuki and Tama and mouthing 'Run!'.
"Oh shit, come on!" Yuki said, grabbing onto Tama's wrist and started pushing through people.
"Where is she?!" Hiro demanded after pulling Amanda away from Devitt, who immediately put Amanda behind him.
"Hey, keep your hands off of her!" Devitt replied.
"That girl took my daughter away from the hotel. My daughter is Yuki Shirabuki, the famous singer if you know who she is, before the ankle injury, boy!" Hiro retorted. "Now, Amanda must come with me."
"Fuck you, you stubborn bastard!" Amanda responded angrily, Hiro turning back to her.
"What did you say?!" Hiro retorted, before lifting up his right hand up the air… until Devitt grabbed his wrist.
"Don't you dare put your hands on her!" Devitt growled, shoving Hiro back but just enough to keep him from hitting Amanda.
"I'll fight you too, boy!" Hiro retorted, walking back towards them until he stopped when Yuki did a high kick from behind, and fallen onto the floor. "Oh… so you called backup, boy?" He questioned, slowly getting up.
"Leave them and me alone… we're adults, we can have fun. Is this why you want Mandy and Seth together so badly, you think she should already be settled down?!" Yuki responded angrily.
"So… this is what you want, eh? You want to be fight boy here and even Amanda? Fine then, but we're not missing out on the gig. I had your whole life planned out for this, Yuki Shirabuki." Hiro explained.
"I'm not going… in fact, I signed a contract with WWE and started training to wrestle. You don't own me." Yuki responded defiantly.
"Oh really? Then how would you feel when you're cut off from me and even from home? Cancel the contract and come with me. Or be homeless for the rest of your life." Hiro stated.
"She's not going to be homeless and she's not going with you!" Tama responded after standing in front of Yuki. "The company Mandy and Yuki work with made a deal with the one me and my friends work with… and you should want your daughter to be happy instead of trying to control everything in her life and trying to pair her friend up with someone who acts just like you so either accept their choices or walk away!" He replied.
Hiro looked at the girls… and left, Yuki and Amanda looking at Tama and Devitt before Yuki and Tama left for the hotel and Amanda and Devitt decided to walk around in the city.
"So what about your family, lass? Your dad anything like Yuki's?" Devitt asked after he had put his leather jacket on Amanda to protect her from the chilly weather.
"No. He is protective but he and my mom and brothers let me have my freedom… my friend on the other hand, Seth, he seems hellbent on keeping me chained to his side. Something tells me that Dianne's trying her best to get him focused on something else." Amanda explained, her left arm entwined with his right one as they stopped and looked out at the city. "It's so beautiful here…" She replied, Devitt wrapping his right arm around her back and her leaning against him.
The two were unaware that they had been followed and photos of them were taken… when Dianne saw them online, she couldn't help but smirk.
"At a girl… about time you found someone who's gonna be good to you." Dianne replied.
When the sun was just rising in Osaka, Amanda was opening her eyes and sat up… Devitt handed her a cup of coffee and she smiled as she drank it.
"I managed to sort us out a flight home… Yuki's old man ripped up yours and hers plane tickets." Devitt responded, Amanda nearly spitting out the coffee.
"That crazy old bastard, trying to trap us here." Amanda replied before they heard a knock at the door. Devitt opened it, seeing Yuki, Bullet Club and Chaos as well as Los Ingobernables De Japon.
"Uh… I hate mornings here." Yuki stated, before flopping her body down on the bed. "Why did my old man have to be so mean to me?" She questioned.
"He's a crazy old son of a bitch." Amanda responded, carefully standing up and heading to the restroom.
"When we get back, you can stay over at my place. We'll have a nice sleepover, like we always do. My dad would probably be back in a few days, probably doing business." Yuki explained.
"First, we've got to attend Raw and SmackDown." Devitt responded.
"We? What do you mean by that? You're a fighter here in Japan." Yuki questioned.
"And New Japan and WWE agreed to a deal where wrestlers from both companies would wrestle in both areas… how much did you drink last night? Mandy explained all of this." Devitt responded, Yuki remembering that in bits and pieces as the last few days were a blur.
"I barely remember. Ever since my own dad decided to be like this to me, I've been depressed and I've been thinking about someone you probably don't know… after the shooting." Yuki explained, before tears started running down her face, and her head was buried into the sheets as they let Tama walk to her.
Being careful, Tama picked her up to her feet and held her… after a while, she was calm.
On the flight to Biloxi, Mississippi, Amanda was looking through her phone and Yuki found herself curiously glancing at Amanda's white nail polish.
"Did you paint your nails while we were in Japan?" Yuki questioned.
"Yeah… figured I needed a change." Amanda responded, having decided on Sinful Colors Snow Me White.
"That's a nice color on you. I can't wait until we get there. I've alrighty have a ring outfit ready to wear on me, and everything." Yuki said, lying back into the seat.
"Thanks. And neither can I, couldn't wait to get rid of that Shield outfit." Amanda responded, Yuki thinking of the countless times that Seth had been outright cruel to Amanda whenever she wore a ring outfit that in his opinion was inappropriate.
"I know how you feel. Seth can't control what you wear... it's your choice, not his." Yuki explained.
At the arena, Amanda was changing into her new ring outfit which consisted of a pair of black shorts that were a little low on her but not inappropriate so and a cropped black ring top… it was similar to Nikki's outfits but Amanda had B.C on her right hip.
As she adjusted the kickpads over her ring boots, she heard the door open… and stood up, 12 year old Chihiro's eyes widening.
"Wow, you look like a real badass fighter, Mandy. But… why are you and my sister matching?" Chihiro responded, before Yuki came in.
"Chihiro, what did I say about…" Yuki started to say, before looking at Amanda's ring outfit. "Well… I guess we're going out there as twins, huh?" She stated, as Amanda looked at Yuki's ring outfit. Yuki's outfit looked like hers, but she had black fishnet tights with black fingerless gloves, and a police hat that had Y. Y on the visor.
"Yeah, except for that tattoo on my sister's stomach and the long blue hair." Chihiro stated, pointing towards the black star on Yuki's left side.
"Shut up girl!" Yuki exclaimed.
"Those three are gonna flip the fuck out when they see you two like this." Chihiro responded.
"Speaking of overprotective, has anyone seen Punk?" Amanda questioned.
"No, I don't think so. Is he supposed to be here tonight?" Yuki questioned.
"He should be, he's still in a feud with Axel and Heyman." Amanda responded.
At the same time, Phil Brooks was walking around when he stopped as Devitt walked by… Devitt stopped, the two staring each other down.
"I'm not gonna trust you around her until you've proven that I can." Phil responded.
"Fair enough, Mr. Best In The World." Devitt responded before he walked away.
'Hunter better know what he's doing!' Phil thought before he headed to his own locker room.
But that instinctive feeling lingered.
