Later that night, Batista had down what Kitten expect him to do and that was to beat the living hell out of the two Arabic. He totally squashed the two. Even though it was the biggest match that either of them had been in, and Hassan had won via a DQ, they still technically lost. They lost a lot of blood. Kitten figured that Dave was seeing Hunter and Ric instead of Davari and Hassan. It was really quite funny actually. She didn't even think about stopping him. She was rather enjoying it all.
That fact alone occurred to Dave when they returned backstage. He noticed something was different about her. Some he couldn't quite but his finger on. "Hey Kit?"
"What's up Dave?"
"Something the matter?"
"What you talking about?"
Chapter 32
"Something's different about you…"
"Still have no clue what you're getting at Dave." Kitten said as he walked over to the couch behind her and sat down. He watched her with a curious expression as he stared at her. "Stop looking at me like that"
"Kit, I'm dead serious."
"Yea I can see that." She laughed. Dave sighed as he gave up. He knew that Kitten was one of those people that only said what they felt, and if she didn't feel like sharing, she wasn't going to. So he sighed again and gave his head a shake. Kitten giggled as she knew she had won. She walked over to Dave and gave him a kiss in his hair. He smiled and pulled her into his lap. Just as she was going to say something to him, there was a knock on the door. She sighed and shook her head. "It's Bischoff"
"Come—"
"What was all that about?"
"What are you talking about Eric?"
"With Hassan and Davari? Look I know you're angry about what happened with HHH last week, but to take it out on them?"
"Dave said he would and he did. At least he's honest to his word. All you have to do is make sure Hunter will be here for the singing." Kitten said as she got up and pushed Eric out of the dressing room. She closed the door and smiled at Dave. Dave just chuckled as she wiped her forehead and came over to sit on his lap. Dave was going to get up but he figured it would be alright for them to relax for a while.
"Kit?"
"Yeah Dave?"
"What is it with women and their nails?" He asked as he watched her check her nails out. She stared at him before sticking her tongue out at him. Dave tried to bite her tongue but she pulled back out of shock. "Better watch out. Next time you might not be so lucky"
"Luck's got nothing to do with it."
"Oh?"
"Yeah, I know you wouldn't hurt me"
"Not on purpose…"
"Shut up!" she said as he got up and walked over to her bag. Dave chuckled again as he too stood up and walked to his bag. He picked it up and walked past her to the bathroom but not before he hit her on the ass. "Hey!" Dave chuckled before he quickly went into the bathroom and shut the door. She pounded on the door while he laughed on the other side. She gave up and swore under her breath at him. "I heard that"
"Good… I wanted you to—"she was cut off by her phone ringing. She turned around and checked it to see who was calling her. The number was unknown to her so she waited it to ring once more before she answered it. "Uh hello?"
"Hey mama! How are you?"
"Eddie? Oh wow! Hey! I've been doing well, how are you?"
"Same as always. Cheating death, Stealing life"
"Quoting your own book huh? That's cute, Eddie. Well I'm glad you're doing well. What's up?"
"I just wanted to see how you and the big man were doing. I saw what happened last week. Hunter's got to be stopped."
"Don't you worry about it, Dave's got it covered. Their Hell in a Cell match is in twelve days, and Dave is more than ready for all of this."
"That is good to hear mija. I want you to be ready as well."
"Why Eddie?"
"Because the name is nothing compared to the real match. I just want you to be prepared for what you'll see."
"I think I'll be alright, but thanks for the heads up Eddie. I really appreciate the concern." Kitten smiled. She heard Latino Heat chuckle on the other end before Dave came out in jeans and a tank top. He was drying his hair when he stopped and looked at her. She smiled and mouthed to him that it was Eddie. Dave put the animal back and smiled before walking over to his bag. "Hey Eddie, I got to go now. Thanks for calling. I'll call you sometime."
"Alright babe, you take care you hear?"
"Yeah I do. Say hi to Cena for me, will ya?" kitten added. Dave growled as he heard Cena's name. Kitten didn't hear it but knew from the change of atmosphere that he didn't like it.
"I'll do that. Adios mama!"
"Adios" she said before closing her phone and setting it in her back pocket. She turned to Dave and put her bag on her shoulder. "So we ready to go?"
"Yeah we are—"This time it was Dave's phone. It was Stephanie McMahon. He looked over at Kitten and told her it was Stephanie. "Hello?"
"Dave? Good are you still at the arena?"
"Yeah I am what's up? I haven't heard from you in a while?"
"Been... busy and all. How are you and Kitten?"
"We're doing well. What's up?"
"Can you and Kit swing by my office here in the arena real quick?"
"Uh sure… nothing serious I hope?"
"If keeping your title is serious enough"
"… Ok… yea that's serious. We'll uh we'll be right there then"
"Good see you then—"She hung up before Dave could get a word out. He slapped his phone shut before looking over to his manager. She watched him trying to get anything from his eyes. "Stephanie wants to meet us in her office…"
"You're kidding me right? Steph hasn't talked to us since this whole thing started."
"She said if I wanted to keep the title it was a good idea to go see her, so I'm going… you coming?"
"Duh! You think I'm gunna let you go alone with a McMahon? Well you got another thing coming, bub."
"Uh alright, let's get a move on." Dave said as he followed her out the door. As they walked down to Steph's office, Dave couldn't help but ponder on the idea of Kitten's new attitude. First it was the pleased look on her face as he beat Hassan and Davari and now 'bub'. Yeah, something was definitely up. Dave watched her as from the corner of his eye. "I know you're watching Dave. Is this about the whole 'different' thing again? I told you I have no clue what you're talking about"
"You just called me bub?"
"I did? Sorry, didn't mean anything by it." She said as she knocked on the door. Stephanie opened it and smiled at the two. Dave and Kitten stared at her wide eyed. Stephanie smiled a bit as they eyed her. She was now eight months pregnant. She and Kitten stared at each other as she closed the door behind them. "Hey"
"How are you Steph?"
"I've been well… you?"
"Been the same. So… I see you've been busy"
"Yeah, I know. Sorry didn't tell you sooner. With Hunter they way he is now, it's hard to talk to him about anything."
"I guess that's our fault…"
"No, Hunter's been a little big headed since the wedding."
"Well that's Hunter for you. How will Dave keep his title then? You told me that you have a way to beat him."
"Hunter has tunnel vision."
"Okay and?" Dave asked. Kitten slapped his arm and shook her head. "What?"
"Dave, that means he's not thinking straight. Flair can't get in so that means he can't interfere with you."
"Oh, that makes sense. What else?"
"Well that's really all you need. Hunter's eyes will be only on that title."
"So it would be best if you try and trick him out of his mind."
"Play mind games with him." Dave said to himself more than to the others. Kitten laughed and crossed her arms over her chest. Dave smiled at Stephanie before taking her hand and shaking it. "Thanks Steph. We'll see you around." He said while taking Kit's hand and pulling her to the door. Kitten took her hand out of his and walked back over to Steph and gave her a hug. "Thanks again Steph. It's great to have you back."
"I'm so sorry about Hunter and all the pain he's caused you guys. He's out of control."
"You've got that right."
"And I'm so sorry about what happened to you guys at the Hotel."
"It's cool. It's in the past now. Speaking of time… when you due?
"Next month"
"Oh wow, congrats. You know the gender?"
"It's a girl"
"Ha! That's great—"It was Stephanie's phone. Kitten and Dave excused themselves and left her to her phone call. "A baby girl. Well that's gunna be a wake-up call for him."
"Yeah it will be"
The next week on raw was a harsh one. Dave and Hunter had almost taken each other's heads off. Eric had decided that they should be set on separate ends of the arena. This night had also been memorable because it was the beginning of the 2005 WWE draft. The pick would later be announced on Jericho's Highlight Reel. Kitten was excited by it because it would be a Smackdown Superstar coming to RAW.
"Who do you think will be the Draft?"
"Have no clue. Jericho just came out so we'll soon find out won't we?"
"Yeah I guess…" Kitten said as she sat down next to Dave. He turned the volume up as Jericho began to speak. He made a face when Jericho called out the draft pick. Kitten watched the TV closely as the suspense built up. Then the theme song hit… It was John Cena! Dave's eyes went wide as he watched Cena stomp down the ramp. Kitten however cheered for him as she watched the TV. She was as crazy as the fans in the arena.
"So Cena's come to Raw? How interesting is this?"
"Dave this is great! We finally have some help with the whole Hunter thing"
"Yeah that's true." Dave said as he got up and got a bottle of water. Something in his voice told Kitten that he wasn't all too thrilled about having Cena here. She shrugged it off as she watched the Jericho and Cena talk.
"Welcome to Raw! I would have to say that the anticipation of the draft really was worth it!"
"Thanks Chris. It's great to be here on Monday Night Raw!"
"Well as you can see and hear everyone loves that you're here"
"Not everyone" Christian said as he walked onto the stage and down the ramp. Tomko followed him down with a cocky smile. "So what? You following me now? What no good competition on Smackdown?"
"Christian? This is my show and I would appreciate it if you wouldn't interrupt it with your baby talk."
"Shut up Jericho! You have no right talking to me like that." Christian said as he walked into the ring and up into Chris' face. Cena stood back and watched the three men banter on about each other. Then out of nowhere, Tomko threw a punch at Jericho. Christian soon followed. Cena threw his own belt down and began defending Y2J. Soon enough the four men duke it out for a good minute before both Christian and Tomko were thrown out of the ring. Jericho and Cena shook hands as the crowd cheered for them both.
Back in the locker room Dave and Kitten had watched the whole ordeal. Kitten was laughing as she watched Cena call them both back in for a second round. There wasn't a reply as both men walked up the ramp. Dave had a smile on his face as he too was happy that Christian and Tomko got their asses handed to them. He looked over at Kitten who was now standing up in front of the full length mirror checking her cloths. "What are you doing?"
"Just making sure that I looked alright. I'm going to go see Cena. You wanna come?"
"Yeah sure. Let's go see the Champ" Dave said as he grabbed his belt and walked over to the door. Kitten fixed her skirt, checked her back and walked right over to where Dave was holding the door for her. He smiled as he saw how excited she was. He wasn't however too happy about her being so happy to see Cena. Don't get him wrong, he had absolute respect for the man. He was a gifted talent and a great man, but the fact that he and Kitten had such a good chemistry together, well it just worried him. He didn't like it. He could lose her faster than he knew… and it was something that Dave wasn't ready for just yet. He was working on getting her back, and now with Cena on Raw with them, it was going to be twice as hard.
"Dave you coming?"
"Oh! Sorry got a little side tracked." Dave chuckled.
"Hurry up then."
"Kit, Cena's not going anywhere."
"I know that, but I want to see him before he preoccupies himself with the divas"
"Oh right. Well then let's get a move on." Dave said as he followed her down the corridors and long hallways. After about five minutes of searching, they finally found him talking to Eric Bischoff. They shook hands as soon as Cena saw Kitten and Dave approaching him. Eric even hadn't finished what he came to say when Cena left him. He growled and walked off towards another direction.
"Hey John! Welcome Raw!" Kitten said as he came over and gave her a huge bear hug. He lifted her off the ground before letting her go. She jumped down and hit him in the shoulder.
"Hey Dave. How's it been? Saw what happened and all. I have no doubt that you will keep that title. Hunter is too thick in the head to see what's in front of him."
"Thanks Cena. It'll be different having you here with us."
"Hey, I'm the new kid on the block, so that means there are gunna be a lot of haters out here."
"Raw's chuck full of them, John and Hunter leads that pack. Speaking of Hunter, Dave we have the contract signing next."
"Yeah we do. Shit, alright uh well I guess we'll see you around then Cena."
"Aww naw, let me come with ya? I can help if you guys need it… not that you need it or anything. I just want to see the man in action."
"the man? Who Hunter?"
"No. Hunter's not the man. Dave didn't you say, you have to beat the man to be the man?"
"Yeah I did. So you're expecting something from in that ring"
"Oh yeah. Hunter's not the type to just let thing simmer down. He's gunna try and get into your head."
"Cerebral Assassin. Man you have to admit, the guy's good." Kitten said.
"...And he's never been beaten in Hell in a Cell." Cena added
"Thanks Cena. That helps a lot." Dave chuckled. Kitten smacked Cena on the chest earning her a bizarre look from him. "What?"
"Not helping…"
"Right sorry. So… uh, can I come?" Cena whispered back. Kitten laughed and nodded. "GREAT! So should we go?"
"Let me get something really quick and then we'll head out. Kit, can you come with me?"
"Uh sure. We'll be right back" she said as Dave began pulling her. Cena nodded and watched them leave before he turned around and saw Christie Hemme coming. "Hey was that Dave I just saw?"
"Yup. Just missed him. He and Kitten are gunna be right back."
"Oh I wanted to ask him if I could come along." she replied. John nodded at her. "Is it okay if I wait for them with you?"
"Uh yeah no problem. They won't be long." he finished. She smiled sweetly at him as they waited for Dave and Kitten to come back. In the locker room, Dave was just getting ready for the contract signing. Kitten just watched and held his belt for him as he fixed his hair and redo his tie. Kitten giggled as Dave came out of the bathroom and his tie crooked. "What's so funny?"
"I've noticed something and you just made it true."
"What exactly are you talking about?" Dave smiled.
"When men do their ties, they always end up crooked." she giggled as she came over and began fixing it. Dave chuckled and took the belt from her so she could fix it. She held it and looked up at him. Dave looked at her confused. Kitten smiled as she pulled him down closer to her. "I can't reach or see from down here" she said softly.
"I don't mind…. But uh next time, just ask me. I'm willing to do anything you want me to do" Dave replied just as soft. He could see the flush in her cheeks growing. The heat from Dave's body was coming onto Kitten. Her breathing became a little quicker as did Dave's. They were so close that their bodies touched as they took each breath. Kitten had finished straightening Dave's tie sometime ago but she enjoyed the presence.
Dave was going crazy in his head. He didn't want her to stop whatever she was doing. He knew she was finished with his tie, but he didn't want her hands to leave him. Then, suddenly his own hands grew minds of their own as they touched her shoulders. They then began pulling her towards him, making their bodies touch. As soon as they did, Dave wrapped his arms around Kitten's waist. His hands then slowly traveled up her back as he took in her scent.
Dave let Kitten take control. She was just enjoying the moment. She slowly took her hands off of his tie and down onto his jacket suit. She then began undoing the buttons one by one until the jacket was completely open. She then pulled Dave closer to her as she moved her hands onto his stomach and around to his upper back. She rested her head against his chest as she too took in his scent. She let it fill her lungs. Her grip on his became tighter as she pulled him closer to her. "It's been a while huh?" she heard Dave say.
"Yeah. I missed you. I really did."
"Me too. I've been trying really hard to respect your wishes and give you time, but it just hasn't worked for me."
"I've wanted to say that I want to give us another try, but then I saw you and Christie. I thought you moved on… so I figured that I should have too. I tried and it hasn't worked."
"Same with me. I see you with Cena and it's making my blood boil-- wait a minute you thought I was with Christie?" he said as he looked at down at her.
"And you thought I was with Cena?" she said as she pulled back to meet his gaze. He had a small smile on his face which made her smile.
"Well you said that you had a connection with the man."
"I didn't mean it like that. Sure, Cena's a great guy and any girl would be lucky to have him, but he's not made for me."
"And I am?" Dave chuckled.
"I think so… somewhat… do you?"
"If I said no I would be lying. Not to get big headed or anything."
"You're just happy I'm accepting all this aren't you?"
"Hell yes!" Dave blurted out making Kitten laugh. She pulled him into a hug which he gladly accepted. He picked her up and set her around his waist. Kitten then locked her legs behind his back. Dave then gave her a smile as she pulled back from him and crossed her arms around her chest. "What?"
"Do you know what I have to do to you for picking me up without asking me?"
"What? Aww man tell me I ain't gunna be punished?"
"What? No, I'm not gunna hit you Dave" she laughed as he closed his eyes ready for her hit. She smiled before slowly towards him, cupping his jaw and giving him a long awaited kiss. Dave's eyes popped open to find Kitten's playful eyes staring right back at him. In that same moment, Dave's arms wrapped around her back and waist to pulled her closer, making the kiss deeper and stronger. The kiss went from soft and warm to passionate and hot in the next couple of seconds. Dave's left hand then began to work its way up Kitten's skirt and the right up her tank top. He lost his balance a little causing his back to slam against the wall hard. Kitten broke the kiss long enough to giggle at him. He chuckled back before he began to kiss her.
They began to fight for control. It was a battle for dominance which neither of them wanted to lose to. Their hunger for each other grew tenfold. They had wasted a long time to be with one another and now that they finally had the chance, they had to be somewhere. That thought occurred to Kitten as Dave was kissing her neck. "Uh Dave… big guy… as umm as great as this is, we need to be in the ring… mmmm… Dave we need to be there like right now."
"Hunter can wait… he's gunna… have to…"
"We left Cena there too."
"Cena isn't my priority…. Right now… it's just my lips and your skin."
"Dave" Kitten whined as she felt Dave's lips travel up her neck and onto her chin. He was doing it again. He was trying to get her to submit and she knew it. "Dave, there is plenty of time for you and me. Right now we need to take care of Hunter and Ric."
"Fine, spoil sport" Dave pouted. Kitten giggled and gave him a kiss on the forehead, nose and finally his lips. "Come big guy, we've got work to do."
"Yeah but not the work I was looking for."
"Dave."
"Fine I'm coming." he said as he followed her to the door. Kitten smiled as she watched him walk out before her. She smacked his ass earning her a crazy look from him. She acted as though she didn't take notice of it and walked past him. She heard him growl from behind her before she was captured and held tightly against him. "Am I in trouble?"
"Bet your ass you are, babe." he growled in her ear. Kitten laughed and gave him a kiss on the cheek before she took his hand off of her ass and pulled him towards where they left Cena. When Cena saw them he smiled. "There you guy are. Hunter's already out there."
"Great. Let's get this over with." Dave said eagerly. Kitten giggled but stopped when she saw Christie give him a kiss on the lips. Cena watched her face change and looked over at Christie before he looked back Kitten. "Hey what's up?"
"Uh oh nothing." she lied. "Come on Kit. You just got back together. She doesn't know. Just wait. I'm sure Dave will tell her off." she thought to herself. Just as she looked over again, Dave had Christie at arm's length with a frown on his face. Immediately, Kitten's dreadful feelings lifted. "See, nothing to worry about". Kitten smiled faintly and shook her head before walking over to Dave and Christie.
"Christie, you're a great girl. Beautiful and all, but I've got a girl."
"I thought you were single? You said you and her were over?"
"We were. We just got back together. And I never said I was over her. In truth, I was actually working my ass off trying to get her back."
"Oh, well then I hope you two are happy." she scoffed off. Dave didn't want to hurt her feeing or anything, but he had to tell her. Kitten patted him in the back which earned her a kiss on the forehead. Cena came next to them and pointed to the curtains that covered the backstage area from the outside. "We better get out there, huh?"
"Yeah we should." Dave said. He grabbed Kitten's hand and headed towards the curtains. His music hit and all three of them walked through the curtains. Hunter and Ric were standing next Eric in a far corner. There was not only security around the ring, but around the table that the contract was one. Kitten laughed as she could see fear in Hunter's eyes. He tried to play it off but it didn't work especially when Kitten told Dave and John. John had a smile on his face as did Dave. Kitten let Dave's hand go as they entered the ring. It wasn't missed by Hunter who then smiled.
"It's about time you two got back together. I was thinking it would never happen."
"Shut up, Hunter. Just sign the damn contract so I can kick your ass for a third straight time."
"It was I who kicked your ass last week Dave."
"Yeah with help from Ric and a sledgehammer."
"Oh and don't forget the title belt."
"… Sign the damn contract Hunter, while your limbs are still attached" Dave growled. Hunter then flipped him off. Cena jumped ahead of Dave trying to calm him down. Kitten sat on the top rope in the right corner watching it all. She then had an idea. "Dave hun why don't you sign first. Monkey see monkey do."
"What a good idea. Thanks babe." Dave chuckled. He grabbed the contract out of Eric's hands and signed the second paper on the clip board. He then chucked it at HHH. Hunter growled at them both before he took the clip board and signed it at well. Dropping it on the table, Kitten laughed from her position in the ring. She dropped down and walked over in between Dave and Cena. Cena looked down at her and smiled before he looked back over at Hunter. Dave wrapped an arm around Kitten and had his other hand on his belt. "Now that's in order, I have something I want to get back to. I'll see you in the cage, Hunter." Dave said as he pulled Kitten towards the ropes that were facing the ramp. Cena turned as well but turned back at Hunter just as he threw the table upside down. Both Kitten and Dave turned around and saw Hunter jump over the table and on to Cena. Dave immediately jumped in and helped. Ric then entered the ordeal but was thrown off just Dave pulled Hunter off of Cena. Cena then got up and threw Ric out of the ring. Dave and Hunter were duking it out in the ring and soon outside the ring. The security guards did their best to try to keep them apart. Kitten didn't want them to stop because she enjoyed watching Dave beat the upper hand. Cena did so too. After about a minute, the security finally got them apart and Dave was up the ramp. Kitten and Cena soon joined him as they raised their hands up, just as Evolution had done when they beat down some poor soul.
That Raw had been an event that couldn't have been better. The Raw's leading up to Vengeance however, were a bit different. The idea of Dave never being in a hell in a cell match had come up. It was really becoming quite frustrating for him. He would constantly be reminded of that and the fact that Hunter had never been defeated in a hell in a cell match. Kitten did her best to assure Dave that he would retain his title. Dave was confident as well about his match, but the hype wasn't helping. He eve almost destroyed an announce table during one of his matches due to Hunter's taunting.
John had many problems of his own. Not only was Christian and Tomko a problem, but Jericho had joined in. Christian and Jericho were now after his title, which wasn't a problem until Eric announced that he would face Jericho and Christian in a triple threat match at Vengeance. John didn't mint defending his title against the likes of them. Christian and Jericho were another story. They argued with Eric about the match until Vince came in to the ordeal. He said if they valued their jobs they would indeed be fired. So they shut up and prepared for their match against the WWE champion.
On the night of Vengeance, the backstage area's atmosphere was intense. Everyone was either focused on their match, or the match up between Hunter and Batista. Hunter had said on Raw that after this match it was over. It didn't matter who won, they would bury the hatches. Batista agreed which was a relief to Kitten. It would end tonight and then they could move on.
As they walked towards the stage, coach had caught up with them for an interview. "Batista! Can I get a few words from you?"
"Fine… what is it?"
"Now with your match with HHH only minutes away, let me ask you, with all the rumors going around that you've never had a hell in a cell match or that HHH has never been beaten in that match, how do you feel about all this?"
"Well I'm going to say this for the last time; HHH is going to have kill me to get this title from me."
"You did say that… but the favors on him, and Dave, you look scared spit less." coach smiled. Dave gave him a glare that coulda stripped the flesh off coach's face. Angrily Dave grabbed the mic in his hands and forced it to his lips. "Listen to me, you ass kissing clown! I'm not scared of the cell and I'm certainly not scared of HHH. I plan on walking in as champion and I plan on walking out as champion--"
"Oh, you're walking out here alright, just not with that title. Like I said before, no body and I mean nobody, beats me in Hell in a Cell." Hunter interrupted. He pointed his finger into Dave's chest which Dave smacked away. This caused Hunter to push him and Dave pushed back. Before anyone knew, Dave and Hunter were at each other's throats again. It took a good ten to twelve men to break them apart. Kitten just watched as they beat each other. Dave was held back as Hunter was pushed away. "I'll see you in the cell bitch! Bitch!" Dave yelled after him.
The aftermath had Kitten guiding Dave to a different part of the arena. Dave's match was in 5 minutes and Hunter had already gone to the gorilla position. "Dave, you need to keep calm for now. Wait till you're in the cell to beat him."
"He started it"
"Dave, you're not five."
"But he did."
"Dave!"
"Fine, I'll be calm."
"Good. I hear Hunter's music starting lets head to the position huh?"
"Let's go--"
"Hey! Just wanted to wish ya luck big man."
"Ah thanks Cena. You defended yourself well in that triple match. Jericho and Christian had no chance."
"They didn't know what the new kid on block could do" he said giving Kitten a wink. She laughed and slapped Dave on the back. "I'll let you guys go." Cena said as he shook Dave's hand. Kitten patted Cena on the back as she walked behind Dave.
Dave's music hit and out he and Kitten came. The cell was still hung over the ring but it was dramatically lowered. As he jumped up and down, getting his legs warmed up Kitten was staring at the cell and Hunter in the ring. Dave came up behind her and patted her on the shoulders. She looked up at him and smiled. They headed down the ring and waited for the music to stop. Once it did, Dave turned to Kitten and gave her a kiss. "Stay out here and behave."
"Me? I'm not the one whose gunna beat someone Dave. That's you."
"I don't have to behave. I need that animal tonight."
"Yeah, maybe I can have an animal tonight."
"Whoa! One thing at a time huh?"
"Alright. Good luck babe"
"Sure thing. I'll see you after?"
"You bet!" she said as she kissed him back. He smiled, turned around and entered the ring. Once he was safely in (irony) the cage began to lower down. The referee outside locked the cage door with a steel chain. Dave showed his titled to the crowd and taunted them, but not before making sure Hunter wouldn't attack him. Once he kissed the title he gave it to the referee who set it somewhere in the cage. He rang the bell and the match had begun. They started off talking shit to one another, which made Kitten laugh. It was interrupted by Hunter socking Dave in the jaw. The match had officially begun.
During the course of the match, Dave and Hunter had used everything possible to beat each other. Hunter had used a steel chain against Dave's back, whipping it a couple of times before he began choking Dave. Dave had been on the outside of the ring when he had the chain wrapped around his neck before Hunter began pulling and choking Dave out. He then knocked Dave off of the ring and now had more leverage with the chain using it from the top rope. Dave had managed to put a finger between the chain and his throat which then allowed him to get his thoughts back and head back to the ring. He knocked Hunter out by pulling his head onto the ropes which caused Dave to get the chain off his neck and wrapped around his hand. He climbed into the ring and began whipping Hunter's back. HHH tried to get away by leaving the ring and walking around but Dave whipped him causing him to fall to the floor. Dave let go of the chain and lifted Hunter up before slamming his back into the ring post and cage wall numerous of times. He dropped HHH and took a breather before pulling HHH into the ring and giving him a spine buster.
Kitten was outside on the opposite side of the ring of Flair. She watched and made sure Dave wasn't going to make any crucial mistakes. She cheered him on as he slammed Hunter's head into the steel steps causing Hunter to bust open. Hunter took one look at her but was again caught off guard again when Batista grabbed his hair and slammed his head into the cage wall. This time however Dave began to grind Hunter's head into the cage. Hunter began to scream out in pain as Dave's pressure on his head didn't give way. After about twenty seconds he let go and walked over to the steps. Hunter gave Dave a low blow causing Dave to fall to his knees. HHH then stood up and Irish-whipped Dave's shoulder into the ring post outside the cage. Dave got up and headed into the ring and laid on his back. Began to move and got up on all fours. He didn't see Hunter with a steel chair wrapped in barb wire come up behind him. Kitten yelled out to him, but was on the other side of the ring, so he couldn't hear her. Kitten could only watch as Dave began to move onto the roped where Hunter hit him in the back with the chair. Dave instantly froze from the pain and fell to his side. Kitten moved to her right before Hunter hit him again with the chair. Dave growled out in pain and rolled over onto his knees and hands. Hunter went for the pin but Dave kicked out at two. Kitten could see from her new position that Dave had now holes where the barbed wire had pierced his skin. "Well at least the tattoo's safe" Kitten thought to herself.
Dave had managed to get the chair away from Hunter. Dave stood up and grabbed the fallen chair and began smacking it into Hunter's back. Hunter then moved out of the ring to get away from Dave but again didn't help, because Dave followed. He hit Hunter on more time before slamming the chair on the floor. Dave went to get Hunter but he had been already in the ring to put some distance from Dave. Dave started to climb the roped but Hunter had come from the other side of the ring and hit Dave causing Dave to fly into the cage wall and fall to the floor hard. Hunter took this time to grab the wired chair and hit Dave in the head with it. Dave began to bleed from his forehead caused by the spikes in the wire. Hunter had already gotten in the ring when Dave came in. Hunter had gotten a sledgehammer and slammed the head into Dave's jaw. Dave fell to the mat on to his back. Hunter went for a pin but again was only a two count. Hunter got up and stood on the top rope. Just as he jumped down onto Dave, Dave had pulled the sledge hammer and held it up connecting with Hunter's jaw. Hunter spit out blood and fell back on to the mat. Dave was able to get up and set up HHH for a Batista bomb. What Dave didn't see was Hunter had grabbed the dropped sledgehammer and hit Dave in the head which made Dave drop him and fall to the mat. Hunter had enough time to grab the metal stairs and pull them into the ring. He set it up so it would rest against the ropes in the far corner. Dave had seen it and slowly got up to his feet. He then grabbed Hunter's hair from behind and slammed it into the steel steps a couple of times. HHH had got to his feet and had wrapped the chain around his right hand before socking Dave in the jaw again, sending the big man to one knee. HHH had then taken the steel steps and pulled Dave over to them as he stood on the top steps. He was going to give him a pedigree. He had pulled both of Dave's arms up but Dave had powered out and sent HHH flying up and over somewhere behind him. He gave HHH a spine buster and signaled 'thumbs up… thumbs down' which the crowd got onto their feet for. Batista nailed his Batista bomb onto the stairs, and went down for the cover. 1...2...3...DING DING DING! Dave had won the hell in a cell match and retained his title. HHH and Batista were tired as hell but Dave had managed to pick himself up onto his knees as the ref came and gave him his title. He pulled Dave's arm up in victory before going over to check on Hunter. Kitten came quickly to him and helped him up. Dave was able to stand on his own and Kitten let him go. She looked over at Hunter as he tried to catch his breath as he laid on the mat. Slowly she walked over to him and knelt down by his head. "You don't deserve my pity but you have it, Hunter. I thank you for everything you've done. You brought me into this world of wrestling and because of you; I would have never met Dave. You should be proud that you've contributed to such a strong team" Kitten said so only he heard. He looked up at her but she was up and with Dave, helping him out of the ring. Ric had come and helped Hunter out of the ring and up the ramp.
Back in Dave's locker room, Kitten had did her best to try and get Dave's wounds to stop bleeding. She was able to get the ones on his back to stop but the ones on his head hadn't stopped. "You're an idiot you know"
"I know but I'm your idiot."
"That's for sure."
"What did you say to Hunter?"
"That is was his fault that he put us together."
"And his fault that he broke us up." Dave added. Kitten smiled and sat next to him. "It's alright Kitten let's get to medical and they can patch me up."
"Good, cuz I'm beat."
"You?"
"Hey it's not easy watching you too beat each other to pulps, ya know." Kitten laughed. Dave chuckled as she stood up and helped him up. They left for the medic room but met Cena along the way there. "Hey big man! That was an amazing match."
"Thanks John. We're heading to medical; we'll see you after huh?"
"Sounds good. See ya around then" Cena said as he left them. Dave had walked on his own with a white towel on his left shoulder and the belt on his right. Kitten was following him when he stopped abruptly. "Come on."
"Where we going?"
"To see Hunter and Ric."
"Are you serious?"
"Dead." he said as he pulled Kitten's hand towards a door. HHH's name was out on the wall next to it. Dave knocked before he opened the door. HHH was sitting on a chair with a towel and a water bottle bloody and battered. Dave looked a lot better than he did and Kitten was thankful for that. Dave stood next to his chair as Ric stood up and backed off. He looked over at Kitten who wasn't looking at any of them. HHH stood up to face Dave who was staring back at him with no expression. Dave extended his hand to Hunter. "Its over"
"Damn right it is." he said as he reached over and shook over it. He pulled Dave into a hug. Kitten smiled and headed over to the door. HHH looked over at her and smiled. "Hey babe."
"Hi Hunter."
"I'm really sorry about all this."
"Yeah I know you are."
"And you're absolutely right."
"About what?"
"About me being at fault for putting you two together. I knew I should of paid attention in chemistry class." Hunter joked. Kitten laughed and walked over to him. She slowly gave him a hug which he returned gladly. Ric was watching her and gave her a smile. She came over to him and hit him in the arm before giving him a hug. "Now that's Evolution." Hunter said as he fell back on the chair. Kitten and Dave nodded at them before walking over to the door. Hunter watched them and a strange idea struck his head. "Hey why don't we celebrate?" he called out. That earned him a strange look from everyone. "Come on, it's Las Vegas!"
"Yeah it is. Come on guys. We'll do it Evolution style." Ric added. Dave laughed and nodded at Kitten. She smiled and gave them a thumb up. "We'll meet you guys in the parking lot then." she said as she pulled Dave out of the room.
Kitten and Dave met Hunter and Ric about forty-five minutes later in the lot just like they planned. Evolution was together one last time and was going to paint Vegas red. Hunter had picked a casino where they played and played. Hunter had won some as Ric lost some. Kitten knew it would just a matter of time before Ric blew so they headed over to the bar. Hunter bought the first round since he lost the match. All of a sudden Kitten and Dave were in shot competition. There was a small crowd hovering over them as they tried to outdo each other. Ric and Hunter could only watch as the two consumed their shots like crazy.
It was a good twenty minutes before Hunter stopped both of them. They weren't too far gone but they weren't acting like themselves, which had Hunter thinking again. Ric looked over and saw that smile on the former champion and tapped his shoulder. "What are you thinking about?"
"Wait and see. Trust me and follow my lead." Hunter smiled back.
