Sasha's POV
After what felt like millions of years of cramped seats and screaming babies, I finally arrived in Japan. I breathe in the new air and enjoy the area. Bright buildings and different people. I decided to walk on my crutches around the city and absorb my surroundings. I was getting strange looks here and there but I also got a lot of compliments from people about my hair and even recognizing me.
After touring the city on my own I decided to go inside a tiny cafe which had everything from Sashimi to Japanese Green Tea. The cafe was pretty full with barely any seats available. Everything looked so delicious that I did not know which to choose. Could I take one of each?
Kenny Omega
I look up from my phone after I see a glance of pink from the corner of my eye. At first, I thought it was just my eyes playing tricks but it's actually Sasha Banks in the same building as me. I was shocked and confused why she's on crutches. I don't know much about her personally but I try to catch up on her wrestling as much as can with my schedule. As I stare at Sasha order her dish, she limps over to my direction with her bags.
"Um, excuse me, may I sit here with you? There aren't many seats available here."
"Sure thing, it wouldn't be a gentleman of me to say no to you." Sasha smiles at me and sits in the chair while placing her crutches on the ground.
"Thank you. Are you visiting Japan as well?" Sasha adjusts a napkin on her lap.
"No, I work in Japan." I take a sip of my green tea.
"Oh! Sorry, I just thought that since you don't look like a native here. No offense!" Sasha blushes and looks down at her food. I give a small chuckle.
"It's okay, Owabi shinaide kudasai. " I pick up some rice with my chopsticks and eat it.
"Whoa! You know Japanese?! You sound so fluent! I know a good amount of Japanese. Oh, by the way, I am Sasha -" She sticks out her hand.
"Banks." I shake her hand and she gives me a speechless expression. "You wrestle for WWE. Don't be surprised." I grinned and winked at her.
"Yeah, sometimes I forget that when I start having a casual conversation"
"It's okay, I am Kenny Omega" I look down at the table and see that our hands are still together. "Uh, sorry." I slowly release my hand. "If you don't mind answering, what happened to your knee?" She moves strands of hair behind her ear and pushes her glasses close to her face.
"I got injured wrestling Charlotte in an IronWoman match yesterday. Which led to me losing my title."
"And your idea was to board an airplane to Japan after getting injured?" I raised my eyebrow while taking another sip of my tea.
She puts her elbow on the table and lies her head on her hand. "Well, I just wanted to escape and explore. Do something I couldn't do while on a huge schedule. Japan was my first idea of a great getaway."
"You and me both," I said then I finished the rest of my rice.
"What do you do for a living Kenny?"
"Same as you, I am also a wrestler for New Japan Pro Wrestling." Sasha's face lights up like Christmas lights after stating I was a wrestler.
"Really? Sorry, I wish I could catch up on other wrestling promotions but sadly I am always busy. Well, at least we have something in common." Sasha smiles and finishes her dish.
"It's cool. This might be awkward since we just met, but I could help get around Japan. Also, I could help with your knee if you like to stay over with me."
Sasha's POV
Staying with Kenny? Yeah, I barely know him, but he seems like a helpful guy. Plus I am in Japan, a place he definitely knows his ways around. I quickly start to think of the pros and cons of the offer.
"Well Kenny, I will take your offer."
"Great, let me help you with your bags. You wait here while I put your belongings in my car." Kenny puts the used bowls and utensils in a neat pile close to the edge of the table, then walks out of the cafe to put my bags in his car.
It's really sweet of him to do this for me. I don't know how to thank him for all this. I grab my crutches and limp over to the employee behind the counter to pay for our food. I said domo to the employee. As I put my wallet in my purse, Kenny comes back inside.
"Aw, I was going to pay for us."
"It's okay Kenny, It is the least I could do when you're already doing so much for me."
"Okay, well I pulled the car close to the exit so no long walk out in the parking lot." Kenny puts his arm around me while he guides me to the passenger's side of his car. As we pull out of the front of the cafe. We start having small conversations about our childhood to interests and the more I got to know him, the more I started to like him. We arrive in the driveway of Kenny's home. Kenny opens the passenger's door of his car and helps me walk over to his front door. As he unlocks and pushes the door open, I get the first glance at his home. It is a nice sized house with two bedrooms, one bathroom, and a small kitchen. His home was decorated with pictures of former wrestlers to him and his family.
"Just rest on the couch while I get the rest of your stuff." Kenny guides me to the couch and gently helps me on the couch. As Kenny walks back to the car, I pick up a picture frame next to the couch and observe the picture.
"New Japan's G1 Climax 26 Tournament." I jump a little by Kenny's voice behind me. I did not know it would be that quick to bring my stuff in.
"And judging by the picture, you won?" I turn to Kenny.
"Yes, I get to challenge any current New Japan champion for the main event match at Wrestle Kingdom on January 4. It's like winning the Royal Rumble to go to WrestleMania in WWE."
"Oh, well congratulations Mr. Omega!" I flash my smile and Kenny gives me a smile grin.
"Well, thank you. Also, I placed your stuff in the room down the hall, second door to the left. I will be in my room." Kenny walks into his room. As I limp the short distance to my room, Kenny's door was slightly opened. Through the opening, I see Kenny without a shirt. Oh my god, Kenny was built to the gods! I was very impressed. As I entered my room, I looked around the room. Small but I felt comfortable. I lay down on the bed and already feel rested. My back pocket vibrated and as expected it was a FaceTime request from Bayley. I answered it.
"Hey Bayley," I said smiling at my phone.
"Sasha! How's Japan?"
"Very smoothly. I actually meet a guy when I landed."
"A guy? Sasha is having a little crushy?!" Bayley gives me a huge smile then makes kissy faces.
"Not like that Bayley! He's name is Kenny Omega. He is also a professional wrestler for NJPW. "
"Hold on, Kenny Omega?" Bayley brings her laptop in front of her phone and searches him up on the internet. "Wow, Sasha you really know how to pick a guy." Bayley winked to me.
"Well, he also offered me to stay at his home." Bayley's mouth looked like it dropped through the Earth's core.
"STAY? WITH HIM? WHAT DID YOU SAY?" Bayley jumps up and down on her bed waiting for my reply.
"I said ok." Bayley's screaming could be heard from Neptune. Couple seconds later, there was a knock on my door.
"Come in." Kenny opens the door slowly. Kenny changed his outfit to shorts and a muscle tank top
"Sorry, I heard a loud sound and I thought it was an emergency for help" I giggled and Bayley also started laughing at what Kenny said.
"No, it was loud weird best friend Bayley, come say hi." I give Kenny my phone.
"Hi Bayley, I am Kenny." He waves hello to Bayley on the screen.
"Hello, Mr. Kenny Omega. Yes, I am Sasha's best friend. Anything happens to her, I will-" I quickly grabbed my phone from Kenny.
"Bye Bayley, I will talk to you later!" I nervously smile at Kenny while he just laughs at me quickly ending the call.
"Sorry for Bayley, she's just...Bayley" I place my phone on the nightstand and pushed some hair behind both ears.
"Hey, it's okay. You were cute. I mean, it was cute. I mean, I am not saying you're not cute, you're a beautiful woman...I am not helping this, am I?" I blushed and just gave him a small grin.
"So I am going to train with a couple of my friends soon. I am just here letting you know that the bathroom is close by. I bought groceries yesterday, so the kitchen is pretty full. You can make whatever your stomach desires." Kenny was about to leave until I stopped him.
"Just in case of emergencies, may I please have your number?"
"Oh, yeah sure thing." I handed Kenny my phone and he typed his number in. "Here you go. Well, I have to go now, I will be back in a couple hours." Kenny exits my room.
I am by myself and I decided to take a nap especially from the terrible plane trip. So far, this trip is a blessing.
