(Than you to all my reads & a special thanks to antihero32 for reviewing my tale it means a lot reading people's feedback no matter how small it may seem)

She had found an apartment in Tokyo giving the information to AJP offices. She spoke to Randy at least once a week. She would just get updates from the road. She told him how nice it was over there. At least for now she did not mention her wrestling again. Randy didn't know about her as Shadow & she was leery of telling anyone else. She was there about three months already when she received a call from Vince. She knew it was coming any day after Low Ki had left the company. She was almost surprised it took as long at it did because she knew how approachable of a guy her dad was to the talent. After he vented he just wished her luck & to be careful.

She felt odd to admit at times she enjoyed being Jasper. She could be friendly & out going without worry of guys hitting on her. While work times Japanese culture can be very restrictive their party life was quite free at times too. The only problem was Jade was already in her 30's. In some cases that would put her past her partying years. Then again as Jasper even with the facial hair he came across a slight baby faced guy. She knew she had a few girls hit on her, but not in an overly sexual manner it was just a laid back have fun vibe. She still never drank or anything. She also never got her drivers license over there unsure about laws of the road plus they were so packed anyways it would have been nuts to drive. Mr. Mutoh always provided Shadow a driver when they had shows away from their two main arena's. Jasper also became closer to a couple of the guys that lived near the apartment.

About five months into her contract she was called to Mutoh's office at the main arena. #You requested me sir?#
#Yes Jasper please take a seat.# Jasper moved to the seat offer sitting. #We have a…delegation from the states coming here in the end of August. I plan on attending both of their shows & would like you to be one of my attendants.#
#It would be an honor sir. Which me though?#
#Shadow, To make a little presence of us to our people. Plus normally Mr. McMahon will open an offer for an exhibition match. I like to bring one native born & one…no offense outsider with me to represent the company.# Mutoh could see a look of worry to Jasper's eyes at the mention of who the delegation was. #Is there a problem involving you & WWE?#
#Shadow's time there was not left under best of terms sir. I was released after an injury & was not given a second look once recovered.#
#Well call this a way to show them that a broken body can not keep a great warrior spirit down forever. They may of kept you down in the states, but you rose fast here.#
#Thank you Master Mutoh. How much time will we know in advance if we will have the post show match?#
#I do not know. It may not be till that night. It is normally an on the fly event.# Jasper just offered a light nod. #That is all for now.# Jasper stood up offering a bow before leaving his office. Mutoh looked over some papers on his desk as he kept trying to figure the young man out he at times acted like a Shinobi but also the mannerisms & honor of a Samurai.

Jade got back at her apartment & went on the computer to looking up exactly when WWE was coming to Japan. August 20 & 21 so she had about a month. She debated calling one of two people. She was going to call Paul to find out when he was thinking of giving her the heads up knowing why she was not stateside. She saw he was not set for the card so he may not of thought of it. She called Randy instead.

"Hey Ran…I'm good…Well I called to say Hello & that I heard you guys are going to be stomping in my neck of the woods next month…you just kind of forgot that fact all the times you talked to me?…yeah slipped you mind I just bet…you just don't want to see me I get it….yeah yeah I know how it is, you don't see me & just forget all about you once dear friend." She knew she was laying the guilt on thick, but oddly couldn't help it. "OK you want to make it up to me…you arriving before the 20th?…a few days nice…well on the 18th We can go out to dinner." She rattled off her address before they finished up their call. She hung up the phone & was wondering why she now felt nervous.

08/18/10

Jade was dressed in a simple black dress & nice looking flats pacing her main room when there was a knock on her door. She went to check the peephole a deep breath before she opened the door.
"Hey Beautiful." He almost beamed with his cocky smile giving her a huge hug which she tried not the squeal from as he set her down walking into her place. He then turned doing a double take looking her over. "Red Hair?"
"Yeah I wanted a change over here? What you don't like it?"
"Actually it suits your face well Jadie." She actually blushed a little.
"Your not half bad looking yourself Randy." He was slowly looking around the place.
"So how much longer you staying here girl? I miss…I mean we miss you."
"Who is we?"
"You know…"
"Randy I don't have that many friends back there. As for how long…I have a obligation here till next March…at least."
"March? What's going on?"
"Just work Randy, Just work."

Randy looked her over wondering why she was keeping secrets now. "Well as long as you still keep in touch & maybe try to take a trip back early." He moved closer to her looking into her eyes with almost steel blue ones. "Fine I'll say it. I miss my main girl."
"Main girl?"
"OK Only girl." She blushed looking down why was he making her nervous?
"Randy you need to cut it out." She shook her head looking back at him. "You're still flirting with me after all this time."
"Maybe, but I am also being honest. I meant it when I told Shane I wish I knew you existed all that time before you father let you on camera. I hate the fact he kept you locked up like a princess in a tower. I hate the fact that Brooks ended up being your prince." He saw Jade's head drop again looking away. "What is it? Don't tell me you guys lost touch."
"Randy I broke up with Brooks two days before the Elimination chamber."
"What? I remember you told me you two had a fight the night of the Chamber. You also said he didn't hurt you."
"Yeah he came to try to convince me to give him another change. I broke up with him because I caught him cheating on me & I don't mean those photos of Maria. I caught him in bed feeling up…Serena." She almost growled the woman's name feeling sick even after all this time.
"I am so sorry Jadie…so you been technically single since before you came here?"

"Yep & for now I like it that way."
"So no young hot Asian man try to pick you up?"
She laughed "No & I am enjoying being single right now."
"Well I am not planning on giving up on you yet." He reached forward touching her shoulder with a smile. She blushed again he wanted her & he didn't hide that fact. She adored him as a friend, but didn't know if she felt more or not. She didn't know if she could allow herself to feel that way about someone else again. She poured her heart & soul out to Punk & he stomped on it destroying it. Besides would Randy still want her if he knew how limited their physical relationship would be?
