Today was a free day he can finally visit her, he was finally let out of the hospital room after treatment and questioning from the police Naoto's back cracked from the fatigue of being used as a cushion and not catching a break until now.

Standing in front of the reception desk with his file being judged by the woman sitting before him she folded it up and handed it back to him "Alright your good now but please listen to your doctors orders and don't train or get locked in combat for the time being."

"Thank you but I was hoping if I could meet other patients namely those who were in that night with me" Naoto asked.

The woman turned to her pc device and began tapping away on it before a click sounded "Very well aside from Kaoru Matsubara everyone else is conscious."

Naoto felt terrible for this Kaoru girl who he'll need to visit whenever she wakes up but now their was someone more important to him "Which room is Haruna Takaoka in?"

The woman told him the floor and room number with that the recovered Tiger made his way towards that room knocking politely on it "Come in."

Hearing the invitation Naoto came inside and was greeted by the shocked Haruna "Naoto?"

"Hey are you alright?" he asked with a calm smile.

Turning away from him she weakly nodded "Yeah I'm fine but are you? You were attacked by a whole punch of these damn punks."

"Hey I was beaten worst you there with me when it happened" Naoto defended causing Haruna to wince which made him frown "You were fighting their leader."

It came more as a statement rather than a question "What about it?"

"And if I remember correctly that woman that figured you out was in this too, did she perhaps set this up against you?"

"No I-I never mind" Haruna sighed giving up "All you need to know is that I'm sorry."

"What is there to apologize for?" Naoto asked in concern and confusion.

"I somehow got you dragged into this right after I ignored your innocence regarding that devil masked woman" Haruna spoke with a downward gaze "Your return here had sucked mostly because of me for that I apologize."

"Haruna you didn't do any-"

"I did!" she roared gripping her blanket "I sent the wrong message to their leader about you and she had her goons attack you in retaliation."

Naoto's eyes widened "How?"

"I don't know it myself but turns out that loud mouthed foul woman is some illegal street fighter and got beaten forced to spill the beans about me, their leader wanted to fight you threatening exposing my identity but I told her to fight me in your stead which she took as sending her goons on you instead" Haruna answered her voice breaking down turning to sobs as she tightened her grip on the blanket "Not only you but both Milk and Mint had also suffered and got hurt because of me."

Naoto slowly approached Haruna and placed his hands on her shoulders "Haruna I appreciate everything you had done for me though many say I'm the best Wrestler I know for a fact I wouldn't be in this podium if it wasn't for you for that I'll forever be grateful so stop doing this for me and do more for yourself your not my agent anymore."

Haruna gazed at the man with red on her face as he smiled before she pouted "Fine then find a different agent after Mammy by yourself."

Jasper kept going through her notes her appearance in that apartment complex had people stirred and the latest incident of Tiger Mask W along with his agent Mammy in addition to the Candy Pair along with a civilian didn't help matters as the people were panicking, not one to stir and cause trouble she was forced to continue her latest investigation for some reason or another Kasumi the mysterious Ninja of the dead or alive tournaments is here in this town walking side by side with some highschooler for what reason is doing this? How much does the boy know about this? Is he also some Ninja spy?

Jasper needed her answers but the current state of things and the panic won't let her freely pursue her investigation for that she needs an agent, contrary to many beliefs not everyone found her and her theories outlandish and impossible there exists many like her who wish to uncover the lies and deception along with hidden secrets in the world of combat sports having successfully discovered many secrets she build up the power base needed for this investigation.

Tapping into her private message board website she immediately found the right agent a highschooler who attends the same school as the boy with Kasumi that person will prove a great help in this investigation.

*Rumble

Looking over Jasper sighed picking her phone reading a text from her boss:

Ms. Jones the current way things are now please seize any and all conspiracy investigations not to involve Girmov and cause us problems such as losing sponsors.

This includes your current investigation into Calypso's and Aqua's neighbour a teenage kid, if not I'll be forced to terminate your contract and report you to the police.

Good thing she got in touch with the perfect agent then to investigate this latest curiosity of hers.

Kaito scrolled through his phone looking over all the texts, calls and recorded messages her sent to Cory Sniper and yet not a single one was responded to being marked as read or heard by her.

Today was different though as he received a text from her instead, he would breath a sigh of relief that she's finally responding however the text wasn't one that helped him relax rather it increased his worry tenfold.

Hey Kaito I'll be challenging you to a match this week be prepared

Kaito gulped she'll most than likely empty all of her frustrations at him verbally and physically in this match and he wasn't looking forwards to it one bit "Maybe Mei is right about women being complicated."

The jobber was making his way to the gym putting his training attire he did his work outs but still he couldn't stop his lingering dread which wasn't helped whenever he saw Cory she would immediately turn away.

In other parts of the gym Queen Bee was talking to Clementine Cirrus "Ya want a tag match with me?"

"Yeah Fiona Fawns had sent me a letter for a new challenge not only does that goth girl want revenge for the beating I gave her but her partner wants in on the action as well" Bee answered.

"Her partner? Ya mean that good for nothing Jackie?" Clementine asked with an edge on her voice.

"Yep considering your history with her I thought you would like to participate with me."

"Not that I don't admire the gesture but what about Lyra?"

"She already has a match this week and considering what happened with the Candy Pair this proposal was good enough for X to put the tag tournament on temporary hiatus until Mint and Milk recover" Bee answered.

Clementine smiled "Fine consider it signed partner we'll cruise these two and flatten them."

"Let me text Fiona Fawns real quick" Bee opened her phone and texted and soon enough she got her response immediately which made her gulp.

"What's the matter?"

"It's going to be a convenience store brawl" Bee revealed.

Clementine spat "Of course that Jackie is the one who suggested it she can't get her head out of that garbage can."

Within her office X kept scheduling the matches for this week.

*Rumble

Her phone received a text surprised she began to call the sender "Haruna what's the matter?"

"X do you have advice about dates?"

"Dates?" X asked with a risen eyebrow "What happened?"

"Well."

Flashback

"But Haruna I don't know how to tell a good agent" Naoto spoke with a nervous tone "Mammy will most than likely throw me at another con person."

"Well you the big star act like one" Haruna grinned at his misfortune.

"Could you please teach me?" he had his head down and hands up in begging.

Pointing her nose upwards Haruna snarked "Ho, Ho if you out it like that how can I not take pity on you?"

"You'll teach me?" he asked with a hopeful smile.

"Yes once I'm out of here I'll teach you everything" Haruna spoke with a snarky tone of voice.

"It's a date then."

"Yes it's a-what?" Haruna stopped midsentence with her face becoming crimson.

"Sorry you already agreed" Naoto shot back with the same snarky tone Haruna used with a piece sign "See you then."

"Wait I-" it was too late as her former client had left her.

Present

"Their you have it, so even though your divorced you still went on dates so what can I do?"

X rolled her eyes "From my understanding he thinks it's a hang out not a date so don't treat it like one unless you wish to have your head explode from men foolishness or creep him out, wear something presentable but not fancy just teach him what he needs and have a light dinner then go home."

"This isn't what I imagined a date to sound like" Haruna wept form the other side.

"Sorry this isn't a shojo manga or romance series" X spoke with a dry tone before clearing her throat "You'll do great and pierce that skull of his."

"Thank you Sandra" Haruna hung up.

X chuckled at this as she turned her chair looking up to the ceiling "Good luck Haruna."

"What are we doing here?" John asked Helena docking at the very place where he was supposed to die along with his comrades by Askleadd of the Vinland society.

"Something is going on and I know the best person to turn to" Helena answered as she walked out of her ship and marched into the city "An old friend of mine."

A/N: No shorts here as I wish to address this myself, it has been three years since this story been here and the chapter coming after this will be one hundred; unlike Epiclot214 I won't have a royal rumble deal to celebrate instead I wish to have a look back at the start of this story as well as the events that lead to it in Tiger Mask W as well as some comments from me in real life in the form of a date between Haruna and Naoto. Thank you for reading and have a nice day.
