In A Breath

Disclaimer: All characters belong to the WWE, the story is mine. Rating: R, for violence and rape Summary: Christian turned his back on his brother, on his career and on his company, was it really all because he was jealous of his brother's success? Or was he trying to escape from something.or someone? Spoilers: Up to and including Vengeance. Setting: This starts the day before Vengeance, but we will be taking a trip back in time every now and again. Feedback: Always appreciated E-mail: wwekyizific@hotmail.com Notes: This idea came into my head after reading Karen U's fic, "It Only Hurts" where she gave Jericho a reason for being, well, an ass, I began to wonder if maybe Christian had a reason.
(Matt and Lita aren't dating in this one and they're both at Vengeance backstage for the purposes of this fic!)
For Esquirella because she's so nice :)

It was over. They had lost the titles and Y2J had screwed him over; if only that was what bothered him. Edge frowned and winced as he rubbed his head, a dull, throbbing pain pulsing through it.
"Listen, Edge, I don't know whether I should say this or not, but."
Edge laughed humourlessly and shook his head. "I've been hearing that a lot tonight."
Hogan frowned but shook his head and continued, pulling Edge out of earshot of any passers-by. "Listen, kid, I don't know if you noticed or not, but.until about half way through that match.well, Christian wasn't really hitting me out there."
Edge sighed. "I know. He was barely touching me either, unless he had to."
"He certainly looked like he was." Hogan said, frowning.
"I know, I guess I'm learning a lot about my brother's acting abilities tonight."
"Edge!" Lita hurried towards them, Matt and Jeff following behind her. She smiled a little sadly at them both and reached out to give Hogan a hug before doing the same to Edge.
"If that's what happens when I lose, I think I might have to try it more often." Hogan smiled, drawing a blush from the young woman. "Ah, if only I were twenty years younger," he said with a laugh.
"Lita still thinks you're hot." Jeff said smiling at the redhead, who promptly hit him.
"Jeff!"
Hogan laughed and shook his head. "Well, kiddies, I'm off to change. I'll catch you later. Good match, Edge, maybe we can work on getting those titles back soon."
Edge smiled and nodded. "Hopefully, but I've got a few things to sort out first, and I don't just mean Jericho."
"Yeah, sounds like a plan." He smiled at Matt and Lita. "Good to see you both back guys, hopefully you'll be back in action soon and kickin' ass like Jeff, here."
"Thanks, good to see you, too." Matt replied with a smile as the elder man walked back to his locker room.
"I can *not* believe you just said that!" Lita exclaimed beginning to hit the younger Hardy brother.
"Hey! Hey! I give, I'm sorry!" He grabbed Lita's arms and smiled. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, I'm sorry." Lita scowled at him, but couldn't help smiling as the younger man pouted.
"Gods, Edge, you are right. A pouting Hardy isn't a pretty sight."
"The fans think so." Jeff folded his arms and raised his chin in mock defiance.
"I'm sure they do, honey," Lita shook her head and turned back to face Edge. "I'm really sorry about what happened out there, Edge."
Edge noticed Jeff hesitating and frowned. "What is it?"
"Well, there's more than y'all know, too." Jeff said softly. "But not here. After this is over, I think we need to go back to the hotel and chat.there's something I know.or at least I think I know.and I don't think y'all are gonna like it."

Okay, so, again, it's the hit and run chapter syndrome. I give you less than two pages of story and buggar off on my Christmas Holidays! I'm off home for a wee whiley, but if I can, I'll be posting on my list more than here. To join, go to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/KyiziFic But remember, the group's just a baby and it's only my older stuff that's on it at the moment. I'll be uploading more recent stuff during the holidays when I can.
Thanks as always for the feedback. I love to get it; it makes me smile! :)
