Hunter and Katherine walked down the long hallway. Many superstars saw them and were
more then a little curious to what was going on. Hunter was wearing his usual gear. Blue
jeans, new logo T-shirt, and his leather jacket with blue jean sleeves. His arm was
protectively around Katherine's shoulders. His "Game" face was on and it was almost like
he was silently daring someone to say something. Katherine held her head high. It was
obvious that she felt safe with Hunter, but at the moment, no one really knew why that
was. Hunter and Katherine walked into Hunter's locker room and shut the door. The
rumors started flying. Everyone added their two cents about why they thought the couple
was suddenly "together". One of those people was Stephanie McMahon. She watched
with disgust as the two walked into his locker room. She may be his wife on camera but
off camera they were dating. She noticed the stares she was getting but she held he head
high and walked into the woman's bathroom. She looked around the bathroom for any
sign of eavesdroppers and when she found she was alone. She pulled out her cell phone.

"Hell Billy? It's Stephie, yeah, she's here, and she's with Hunter."

She quickly flipped the phone shut and looked at herself in the mirror. She flashed herself
a cocky little smile. She had always known Hunter had feelings for Katherine, but she
never felt a threat from her until she found out she was actually staying at Hunter's house.
After doing a little digging with her daddy, she found out Katherine was being abused by
Billy, which didn't really matter to her. That is, until she realized that once Billy had
Katherine again, Hunter couldn't have her. Stephanie laughed, she always found away of
getting what she wants. She was the Billion Dollar Princess after all. She fixed her hair and
left the bathroom.

Hunter sat back in his chair mentally preparing himself for the Rumble. He glanced over at
Katherine who was watching the monitor closely. She seemed to be in her own world. She
loved the wrestling life. It's so much simpler then her own. He smiled as he listened to her
cheer on Trish. And when Trish beat Jazz, she let out this squeal. He laughed at her, not a
mocking laugh but a sweet laugh.

"You know what to do tonight while I'm out in the ring right?"

Katherine tore herself away from the screen and looked at Hunter. Her face lit up with a
smile.

"Sure do, I go to Vince's office where he will be, along with a couple of guards."

Hunter smiled.

"I just don't want you hurt again."

Katherine gave him a less then happy smile and she got up and sat next to him.

"I know, but I'm a wrestler, I'm going to get hurt."

Hunter chuckled and put his arm around her and pulled her closer.

"You know what I meant, smart ass."

Katherine laughed and looked into Hunter's eyes. His expression changed and she smiled
at him.

"Your beautiful."

"Your blind."

"Your insane."

"Your an ego manic."

"So are you."

"Good point."

"Can I kiss you Kat?"

The sparkle in Katherine's eye's momentarily disappeared and Hunter quickly looked at the
ground.

"God, I'm such a fucking ass! How could I have asked you that after everythi....."

Katherine grabbed Hunter's face and lifted it to hers, she kissed him softly on the lips.
Hunter was stunned as she pulled back. The kiss was so sweet and gentle but yet it
exploded passion in him that he's never felt before. When she pulled back he stared deeply
into her eyes. He pulled her to him as tight as he could. He kissed the top of her head as
they sat holding each other.

"You didn't have to do that."

"I wanted to."

"Are you sure?"

"Did I stutter?"

Hunter smiled and just sighed with content. But he didn't have time to savor the moment
because the door swung open to reveal Stephanie. Stephanie put her hands on hips but
neither Hunter or Katherine budged.

"Doesn't this look comfy."

"Actually I'm quite comfy." Katherine flashed Stephanie a smile as Hunter tried not to
laugh.

"Well get un-comfy you little bitch! Hunter! We need to talk, NOW!"

"No we don't." Stephanie looked at Hunter in shock, no one say's no to Stephanie
McMahon.

"Yes we do Hunter! Your "MY" man! And I don't appreciate you shaking up with this
two-bit whore!"

"OK! First off!" Hunter held his breath as Katherine jumped up, this was going to be
interesting. "He is not YOUR man! He is NOT your property! And as for me and him
shaking up....that's none of your damn business! Just because you suddenly don't have
Hunter, you want him back! You practically acted like he didn't matter all those months he
was in rehab! So why don't you get off your high horse, before I rip that silicone out of
your fake chest and stuff them down your throat!"

Hunter couldn't hold it in any longer. He started roaring with laughter. Stephanie looked
at Katherine with daggers in her eyes. Katherine smiled with all the confidence in the
world. Stephanie glared at Hunter then gave Katherine one last go-to-hell-look and then
she left the room with a huff. Katherine was still irate.

"Can you believe her? That little brat!"

Hunter stood up and wrapped his arms around Katherine and pulled her back against him.

"She'll get over it."

"She pisses me off."

"I noticed."

Katherine tried not to smile but couldn't help it, she turned around so she could face
Hunter and she popped him on the chest.

"What's that for?"

"For trying to make me laugh when I'm mad at you."

"Why are you mad at me?"

"For dating a bitch like her!"

Hunter laughed and hugged Katherine. They were interrupted by a knock at the door.
Hunter opened to see Raven standing there.

"Um, hey Hunter, Vince wants to see you."

Katherine's eyes grew wide but Hunter didn't seem to notice. Hunter nodded and kissed
Katherine on the forehead.

"I'll be right back Kat."

Hunter left with Raven and Katherine sunk to the floor staring at the now closed door.
The door soon opened again but this time Billy Kidman walked in. Billy smiled as he
looked down at Katherine. Katherine looked up at Billy and smiled herself.

"I knew you'd be glad to see me."

"I'm not, Billy."

Billy looked a little loss.

"Let me explain Billy, I know that you used to be in "the Flock" with Raven, and I also
know you were best friends with him, so I knew your the one that sent him here to get rid
of Hunter."

Billy smiled.

"Am I that obvious?"

"Yes you are, but I'm not. You see Billy, Raven also befriended me over the years and he
also didn't like it when Hunter told him what you'd been doing to me, so Raven back
stabbed you. And now Hunter's behind you."

Billy stiffened up and glared at Katherine.

"Your bluffing."

"Why don't you turn around and find out."

That didn't come from Katherine but from a deep voice behind Billy. He slowly turned
around to look into the cold black eyes of "The Game".
