Thanks to everyone who reviewed the last chapter and gave suggestions.
For sailorbardock1980 you wanted Willow and Helms.. Although I don't know if this is exactly what you were thinking about.
Remember I want feedback! Who do you want Willow to end with? Is the thing with HHH over? Who knows? Not me…
Willow slipped on a pair of black pants. She'd borrowed them from Buffy, and usually used them to patrol in. However they were perfect for this. Almost skin tight on Willow, they had a extra seam in the crotch for mobility. She moved anxiously across the dressing room, practicing her kicks and leg sweeps. Her mind ran in anxious little circles, even though her body moved like a well-oiled machine. She paused and moved into the beginning stance for a tiger kata. She stood poised for a moment and a breeze washed over her face. It held a remembered scent and she turned expecting to see Tara, but the room was empty. Willow sighed and hung her head. 'The past is the past, and you can never escape it, except at the last…' She thought to herself. The quote had been in one of Taras dairy's. Willow shook her head and grimly resumed her stance. After a few seconds she moved into the kata, slipping seamlessly from the first position to the second. Her body moved on its own, the kata made instinct by her foray into osmoses. As she slipped through the kata like a penguin through water, Willows mind stopped its frantic pace and calm filled her. When the door opened behind her, she said nothing but continued to go through the paces of the kata. When she had brought herself to her top speed, she allowed herself to slow, and then stop. She turned to face the door with a soft smile. The smiled fell away when she found herself staring at someone she didn't know.
"Who the hell are you?" She snarled, dropping back into a defensive stance. The intruder was tall, well muscled with long blond hair with red tips.
"Chill," He commanded, sweeping forward to march imperiously around her. "I heard that Taker had a guest and I wanted to see you for myself. The names Chris Jericho." He sneered at her. "Who taught you?"
"Giles." Willow snapped, then bit her lip. It was semi true though. They'd been his books. "what did you say you wanted?"
"I wanted to check you out." He said, stepping until they were less than an inch from each other.
"Well you've certainly done that," Willow growled as his eyes dropped to her chest. "so now you can leave." She stepped back and raked her eyes contemptuously over his chest.
"Aww.." He fake pouted. "I think we could have some fun…" He wiggled and eyebrow. Willow felt laughter bubbling up inside her and let it loose.
"Sorry buddy, you don't have the right implements to get anywhere with me." She snorted. "The hair is nice, but you just don't have the tits.." His mouth dropped open and Willow only laughed harder. "you men think that your so great.." She snickered. Chris snorted and then turned on his heel. He almost ran out the door and Willow stopped her giggles with a sigh. "besides, I don't like arrogant guys." She said to herself.
The door shuddered beneath a heavy knock. Then Mark entered carrying her backpack.
"Sorry it took me so long." He said looking at her, "But Hardy was in the ring. I had to wait for him. Are you sure you want to do this?" He changed subjects quickly and Willow blinked.
"Yeah." She offered, taking her bag and plugging in her cell phone. "I think I can handle it. Vince wouldn't put me in the ring with a monster." Mark shook his head and laughed.
"You obviously don't know Vince that well. He'll do anything to anyone." He said.
"Yeah but anyone can't reprogram his beloved system. I can." Willow boasted. "And he knows better than to piss me off." She grinned ferally at her cousin. "Well, lets get this show on the road."
~~~~~~~~
Willow stood near the entrance to the ring, trembling slightly. Mark was about five feet from her, growling at an even taller man in a mask. The man in the mask was huge and Willow fervently hoped than Vince wasn't going to toss her in the ring with him. She was surrounded by wrestlers, Male and female alike had come to see if she would be fighting them. Several had come to wish her good luck. Jeff Hardy being the first. Chris Jerico stood behind her with a huge grin on his face. Willow wondered vaguely if he was staring at her ass. She hoped she wouldn't be fighting him, he seemed like a pervert.*
Vince strode by her with a nod and a smile, then headed straight out to the ring as his music boomed. Willow smiled faintly as Mark lay an arm over her shoulder. The fans were giving Vince a huge welcome.
"Hello New York!" He boomed into the mike. "You saw the footage earlier. Red, Takers little cousin, being kidnapped by HHH. You saw her fight an old enemy." The titantron flashed footage of Willow's short fight with Drusilla. "you saw her bitch out the GM." The audience roared. "You saw me step in." Vince stopped to grin. "But you didn't see what happened later. I cut a deal with Red. She gets two minutes to hold her own in the ring against one of my wrestlers." The crowd cheered again. "If she succeeds, she gets a contract. If not, well that's between me and her." Vince smiled evilly and Willow shuddered, holding back a shriek of rage.
"It sounds like If I lose…that jerk.." She hissed, her hands clenching into fists. "I will get him for that. In such a big way." Willows lips thinned.
"But now, let me introduce Red, who might just be the next big thing." Vince said and music swelled up into the air. It was 'Always' by Saliva. Willow sighed and shook her head, then walked out onto the ramp. As the roar of the crowd reached her ears, Willow quavered but held her head up high. She swallowed then called up part of her darker side. She hopped easily over the top rope and stole Vince's mike.
"Gee Vince. You make it sound like I'm some sort of a slut.." She purred, walking around Vince. "Too bad for you that I'm not." She perched on the top ropes at one end of the ring, facing the ramp. She tilted her head to the side and grinned seductively at him. "So who's ass will I be kicking?" Vince opened his mouth but was cut off as music rang through the arena. It sounded like Saliva and Willow shrugged. She didn't care what song the person she was going to wrestle came out to. Then Chris Jericho strutted out to the top of the ring.
"Before you get started." He said with a big grin. "I just wanted to say that I would love to do this Match with Red there." He stopped to toss Willow a dirty look. "I don't think anyone has annoyed me so much since, well, since I met your daughter Vince."
"Aww.. is the poor baby mad cause I shot him down?" Willow sneered into the microphone. "Grow up Chris. Not get lost so I can see who I get to play with." She tilted her head to the other side and when he opened his mouth to speak she cut him off. "Bored now. Red wants to play.." Chris frowned and finally stomped off the ramp. After a few second Vince stopped staring at Willow and gestured to the ramp.
"Stand Back! There's a Hurricane coming through!" the titantron boomed and a short man with green hair and a mask ran down the ramp. He climbed into the ring and stared at Vince and Willow. A stagehand passed him a mike and he stared at Vince before speaking.
"Citizen Vince." The masked man said. "The Hurricane doesn't agree to this. Superheroes don't attack innocent citizens." Willow laughed into her mike.
"No one said I was innocent." She said. "Now you wanna know what I hate about superheroes?" She didn't wait for an answer but swept on. "Superheroes die, and Red wants to play…" She tossed her mike into the crowd and jumped at the Hurricane, delivering several fists to his face before he could blink twice. Willow barely noticed as Vince climbed out of the ring, or as Always swept over the speakers.
'I hear.. a voice say don't be so blind
Its telling me all these things
that you would probably hide
am i.. Your one and only desire?
Am I the reason your breathe
Or am I the reason you cry…
Always, always, always
I just can't live with out you!"
The Hurricane shoved her off of him, and She stumbled backwards, then stopped, motioning for him to come to her.
"I love you
I hate you
I can't live with out you
I breathe you
I taste you
I can't live with out you"
He smiled at her and did so, jumping towards her. Willow ducked under his fist and knocked him down using a modified leg sweep.
"I just can't take anymore
This life of solitude
I guess that I'm out the door
Now that I'm done with you…"
She stood over him, and waited for him to get back up. He kicked at her and connected with her knee. Willow fell backwards, catching herself on the ropes.
"I feel.. like you don't want me around
I guess I'll pack all my things
I guess I'll see you around
Inside.. it bottles up until now
As I walk out the door
All I can hear is the sound…"
The Hurricane threw himself at her and connected with a sharp jab to her stomach. It knocked the breath from her system and as Willow gasped she threw her hair out of her face and smiled coyly and evilly at the man in front of her.
"Always, Always, Always, Always, Always, Always, Always…
I just can't live without you.."
As he blinked, Willow drove her right knee upwards into a very sensitive area. He crumpled to the ground and Willow stared down at him. The Hurricane was curled into a fetal position and showed few signs of movement. Willow shrugged and swept into an Angel Kata.
"I love you
I hate you
I can't live with out you
I breathe you
I taste you
I can't live with out you"
She moved over and around his fallen body, waiting for the perfect moment. Which came when he struggled to his feet, not stopping her movement Willow swirled from the Kata and feinted with a kick to the right. He caught her leg and Willow grinned.
"I just can't take anymore
This life of solitude
I guess that I'm out the door
Now that I'm done with you…"
She'd wanted to try this for a while now. Using her own body weight Willow flipped backwards, hauling the Hurricane to his feet. Standing on her hands, she kicked him in the face several times.
" I love you
I hate you
I can't live with out you
I left my head around your heart
Why would you tear my world apart?
Always, always, always, always, always, always, always…"
He let go of her leg and flew backwards. She cart wheeled to her feet and walked towards him. He jumped at her, and caught her with a clothesline.
"I see… the blood all over your hands
does it make you feel.. more like a man?
Was it all… just a part of your plan
This pistols shaking in my hands…
And all I hear is the sound"
Willow fell to the ring and rolled to the side and his elbow landed where her stomach had been. She scrambled to her feet as he did the same. They threw themselves at each other with clenched teeth.
"I love you
I hate you
I can't live without you
I breathe you
I taste you
I can't live without you
I just can't take anymore
This life of solitude
I pick myself off the floor
Now that I'm done with you…."
Willow slapped him as he shoved a knee into her stomach. Then the bell rang and Willow Shoved herself backwards, breathing harshly. Hurricane looked at her and then backed away.
"Always..
Always..
Always."
"Guess you don't die today." She hissed at him. Vince climbed into the ring and took her hand. He lifted it over her head and cheered along with the audience.
"Welcome to the WWE Red!" He shouted into the microphone. Willow bowed to the crowd, then was lifted from behind in a huge hug from her cousin. Right behind him was Jeff Hardy who swept her up in a hug of his own. She climbed out of the ring and headed backstage with them.
Well that's this part good and done. What did ya think of the fight scene? The intertwined song lyrics? Tell me!!
