X had an annoyed look on her face as expected when her troublesome trainee had woken her up in the middle of the night with okay but sterile news "And so I did confess but he's still on edge does that mean he'll go for it or not?"
If she was here right now X would slap her from up to down but now, she took a deep breath and screamed "YOU IDIOT!"
"Ouch what is that for?" she complained most likely rubbing her ear.
"You could have made a gigantic mistake contrary to popular belief guys don't like being confessed to rather they would see the girl as a stalker or just plain desperate."
"Eh?!"
"You most than likely creeped him out but I do give you points for standing up and confessing" X rubbed her sleepy eyes before she continued "For now just wait and give me him space for as long as possible let him go through this before he can give you a proper answer okay?"
"How long do I have to wait? I mean I already waited long enough for like a year or so I can't-"
"He's an extremely busy man one who gained fame and infamy in the ring weather he'll be able to one day settle down or not had yet to be seen, I had seen them hundreds of time men like him actually would rather die in the ring as long as it means he did what he wished" X cutted her off as she continued "And then there's competition as a man of great respect and status many women some even surpass you in charm will throw themselves at his feet."
"That's completely impossible there's just no way that any woman will fall to that idiot."
"You did and from what I last heard in Mexican circuits an extremely natural charming woman named Catarina Horace did offer to relive stress for him and to just give her a call."
Silence fell following this revelation before a yawn forced itself out of X's mouth "I'm tired and got lots of work to do tomorrow so good night."
She ended the call ignoring the protests of Haruna before putting a silent mode and shutting off the rumble feature and lay on her bed once more.
(…)
"Sandra hey Sandra can you hear me?" Haruna asked only met with silence removing the phone from he ear seeing the screen of calling history she sighed as she placed her phone in her pocket "Great just great, who's this Horace anyway?"
Haruna sat on her coach and researched the woman X was speaking off, her eyes almost fell out of her socket upon seeing the gorgeous blonde with a very fit and strong not to mention gifted body held in a pink bikini she kept getting results of her being in matches which she won some the highest views are fanservice matches "Yeah I fail miserably."

Jackie and Selena had their heads down sweating from fear as nuts were being cracked "You had been given a second chance allowed to have Jackie and even reassumed your territory in the darkness and yet you lost yet again Selena."
"I-I have no excuse this time" Selena's head was touching the ground as she spoke.
The darkened form of Yami got off the desk viewing the two with shinning eyes "You better make up for that loss when the next tag team match in Girmov is over and the Candy Piar are released the first group tournament for the tag team titles will be held you better win that one along with the titles."
"Will do Yami" Jackie also had her head on the ground saying this, wordlessly Yami pressed a button on her desk opening the door both women scrambled and escaped.
"Well I-" the door was shut once again before Fiona could make her escape being left alone with Yami inside the dark office.
"Fangs your becoming more troublesome than you are worth how haven't I kicked you out yet is something I ask myself every time I see a loss for me, ever since you made that bet with your former punching bag Hardkor which made a powerful debut is now just another gym we have suffered humiliation because of your punching bag who made it clear we aren't invincible."
"Hey it was Sarah's fault she allowed herself to be beaten by those Miyabi brats."
"That's beside the point Fangs tell me what should I do when you fail?"
"I won't some point or other Dull 'N Broken will fall like she was supposed to."
"Very well but if that fails I'll fight you" Yami's eyes became red scaring Fiona.
"Fight me?"
"Yes as you recall I dabbled in the ring once and have aimed to reach the level of Sayuri Rogue but in my own taste, you know what that means correct?"
Fiona's trembled lips knew the answer but didn't speak up knowing of this "C'mon Yami I'm your star your main girl."
"The main girl can get boring at times so I'll be more than happy to replace you after all I have one person in mind."
"Who might that be?" Fiona asked despite her fear of Yami she wouldn't forsake her position to someone else so easily, she had fought tooth and nail to climb up the ladder of Hardkor.
"You'll find out once you fail and I destroy you" Yami opened the door showing Fiona out, the ace looked at Yami one more with a mixture of fear and challenge before leaving.
Once she was a good few feet away from Yami's office Fiona's form which trembled exploded "Nobody would ever replace Fiona Fangs!"

Kaito sat on his chair staring at the ceiling with a click of his tongue he kept recalling Cory's words how it won't work being the only man in a female promotion and how he'll just keep attracting women "If this was a work of fiction I'll be swarming in some sort of a harem now but considering how long it takes to realize one girls feelings it might as well being the writing of a fan."
The man sighed as he buried his face unto his hands this wasn't helping standing up he left his apartment hiding his face in a hood to avoid fans of the female Wrestlrs and haters of his which started increasing ever since his loss at the hands of Bunny Bomber along with some sick men that wanted to see weather they can smell a woman's ass off of his face or not, Kaito had no destination in mind he didn't want to bother his parents or Sayuri they already did all they can do for him at the moment the only person he felt conversing to is Mei Ling but he had no idea where to find outside the Girmov gym where more women who either hate him or love to torture him will be at or worst they would take him talking to Mei Ling after that incident badly and accuse him.
Then it hit him the clinic Mei took him to maybe he can see her there, as a clear destination formed on his mind his legs began directing him to the place using the memory in his mind he walked towards the hospital and reaching the clinic's door he knocked "Come in."
Following the command Kaito entered the clinic meeting the doctor but not the person he hoped to see "You are you injured?"
"No I just was hoping I might see Mei Ling" Kaito spoke with caution "I just wanted to talk to her is all."
"Who's Mei Ling?" the doctor asked surprising Kaito.
"The girl that brought me here" Kaito hoped this would help the doctor.
"Um that's Ranma, Ranma Saotome" the doctor revealed.
"Isn't Ranma a man's name?"
"Well he is one he just has special circumstances."
"Special circumstances?"
"Things might seem normal around us but trust me they aren't normal one bit at all" the doctor answered.
Kaito's eyes widened 'Wait could they be trans? Or maybe her parents were expecting a boy but she turned out to be a girl? But Saotome is the family name does that mean she ran away from home?'
Kaito's thoughts were interrupted when another knock was heard on the door "Who is it?"
"Akane and Ranma" a girl answered.
"Come in" the doctor smiled knowing the people when the door opened it revealed a pair one girl with short purple hair and a boy with black hair his hairstyle and face reminded Kaito of Mei.
"Egh!" the boy stifled his surprise catching a glimpse of Kaito 'What is he doing here?'
"What seems to be the problem you two?" the good doctor asked prompting Ranma to look at him evading Kaito's gaze.
"Medical records" Akane answered sighing "Our new school isn't that open to violence like the previous and the headmaster asked for medical records for future reference."
"Akane was beating up boys that asked her out" the boy revealed angering the girl who got a hammer out of nowhere ready to attack him with it only for Kaito to come in and shield Ranma with his back.
The mallet bounced off the back of the jobber who gritted his teeth "Are you okay?"
"Yeah thanks" getting a better look this boy might as well be Mei's male look alike or even twin.
"Hey you what are you doing!" the raging Akane demanded out of Kaito pulling the jobber by the back of his neck.
"Akane calm down Kaito here is a new patient of mine" Tofu caught the girl by her shoulders reassuringly.
Akane released her hold before turning to the doctor "The records please doc."
Tofu nodded gathering up some files whilst Kaito and Ranma stood back awkwardly "Um is she always this violent?"
"Yes."
"I just came out of a break up myself."
"Heard that already."
"Are you comfortable being in a relationship with her?"
"It's for honor and unification of the schools" before Kaito could question further Akane approached the boy with medical files.
"Let's go" the two youths left leaving Kaito alone with Tofu.
"You didn't get to talk to Ranma even though you came for him."
"What?"
"Ranma the guy you wanted to talk to he was just here a moment ago" Tofu pointed out leaving Kaito with more questions.
"I should properly go" Kaito left the clinic along with a confused Tofu.
"What seems to be that man's problem?"
Kaito left the clinic with utter confusion washing over his face 'That kid is Ranma the guy the doctor said to be Mei, they do look alike so it'll be easy to confuse them but a doctor shouldn't be that foolish especially with different genders.'

Queen Bee kept hitting the punching bag with confidence not only did she correct her record with Selena but defeated Jackie Cayman by default her long awaited rematch with Fiona Fangs seemed a lot closer now "Hey Queen Bee can I talk to you for a bit?"
Dawn stopped hitting the punching bag and looked to the side surprised to see Sam Hamilton the cosplayer standing next to her, wiping a sweat off of her braw Dawn turned to her "What is it?"
"You and Lyra Booker went to Hardkor's gym right?" Sam asked with fear, Dawn nodded "Did you get to meet the members?"
"I just saw them didn't get to talk to many other than Fiona Fairies and I knew her previously."
"Ah I see guess you didn't get to speak to Sarah the machine."
"Sarah you mean that girl in the Six woman team that lost to Miyabi."
"Yes her" Sam answered "She's my sister."
Dawn felt a wind of silence before getting her mouth to open "Your sister?"
"Yes I know it's hard to believe with our personalities but we are indeed siblings" Sam affirmed becoming more confident but her expression didn't become cheerful one bit.
"Guess she was a big sister bully huh?" Dawn guessed if Fiona is an example of Hardkor then most of them must also have terrible backgrounds like hers, so far her guess was correct with Jackie having her history with Clementine and during her research for Hardkor found out that Jintana Mookjai was banned from Muay Thai competition after roughing up an opponent too badly even after the bout was called in her favour.
"Actually she wasn't she was kind and she defended me all the time."
Dawn felt a bit bad about assuming all of Hardkor are like Fiona but it seems there is some hidden treasure in the trash after all "So what happened to her? What got her to join Hardkor?"
"I don't know last time I saw her was years ago after she got expelled from school for getting into a fight with a girl that ruined my custom" Sam answered "She left home and never came back, I never saw her again."
"So you want me to talk to her for you should I fight her?"
Sam shook her head at Bee's suggestion "I appreciate your concern and kind offer but this's a personnel family problem, sorry for interrupting your training."
With that the cosplayer left Dawn to pounder on Hardkor and her thoughts on them 'No matter what I'll just bulldoze my way through them and beat Fiona once and for all then I'll get a rematch with Hornet and go after Elizabeth.'
*Knock, knock, knock
"OPEN UP!" Haruna yelled knocking on X's door which remained closed with no response to her what so ever "I know you can hear me so open up!"
"Ms. X is it alright to ignore her like that?" Lady had her gaze juggle between the door and her unresponsive boss.
"Yes if I just open the door for her like that she'll just keep putting her romantic problems upon me, I'm done with romance in my life" X responded.
"I'm coming in after 3!" Haruna warned "1…2…3!"
Letting out a roar Haruna rushed towards the door not willing to see a bill piling up Lady got open and opened the door letting Haruna in falling on her masked face "Ouch!"
X sighed "What is it?"
"I had been knocking all day out there and you ask 'what is it' now!"
X remained silent as Haruna fumed "So did your man say anything yet?"
"No and he isn't my man yet" Haruna quickly shifted from driven and angry to shy and reserved with that question "Did any other woman other than that Horace talk to him?"
"Of course he is a man any like any other many women would wish a chance with him, if he is to be yours you need to learn your yandere tendencies from showing men fear and despise those kind of women."
"Great just great, things are getting even more complicated and morbid."
*TRRR
The phone rang as X picked it up "Hello?"
X's eyes widened in surprise "Are you sure?"
Her smile widened "Thank you for these wonderful news doctor."
She placed the phone down before smiling towards Haruna "The Candy Pair are both alright."
Haruna's eyes teared up as she smiled "Of course they'll be alright they won't be the women I looked up to otherwise, when are they coming back?"
"I already plan a package for them this coming episode they'll be ready for the time of the final match of the first group tag team tournament."
"Then here we have a full episode ready Ms. X" Lady coughed "First we have the Six woman match tournament The Iconics of Miyabi vs The Nagas of Naniwa, then a single match between Remy Dadarne and Mifuyu Yagyuu, then another single match between Despina Libre and Ray Fury followed by a promo from the returning Scarlette before commercial; after commercial we'll have a tag team match between The Juicy Pair and the Nielsen Sisters the winner will face both the recovering Candy Pair and Dark Machine in a triple threat tag match to determined the first team going for the tag titles before the beginning of the second group tournament, will be followed by a single match between Reiko Hinomouto and Jasper Jones, after that match the returning video for the Candy Pair ending the episode with a match between Springer and Payne Fox."
"I'm facing Payne?" Haruna asked she was supposed to face her in debut as Spring Tiger but got switched in favour of X woman "Guess I'll dedicate this match for them."

Kasumi stood back watching her master backing his stuff the weekend had arrived along with the promised outing between him and Misaka Nakahara "Are you sure you don't want me to come along?"
"Yeah I'm sure last thing I need is for Misaka and whoever her friends are saying unsavoury things about me seeing a girl."
*HONK
The car honk made an annoyed sigh escape her master's lips as he went out seeing a large black car filled with very unpleasant looking individuals of punk teens with Misaka sitting at the edge gesturing to the seat next to her, he placed the bag in the car's trunk before taking his seat.
He noticed that everyone was in pairs of men and girls with one girl sitting next to one man, Misaka wrapped her arms around his and leaned over placing her head on his shoulder "Brings back memories huh?"
Aster remained silent praying that this outing will end soon, meanwhile from the window of the apartment Kasumi watched the car drive off feeling inadequate of leaving her new master behind after doing a lot for her.
An escaped shinobi like her would never dream of having a roof above her or eating delicious hot meals made of love but as she mused she saw something in the trees, a person that left immediately.
Jumping out of the window Kasumi followed after that person but it appears they were aware of her as they picked up the pace turning around towards an alley, the shinobi gave chase jumping in between the walls throwing kunai's at the person that guarded with their forearm before going into the sewers.
Following in after them Kasumi rushed after the shadow but it threw a pipe at her which she ducked under attempting to come after the person again but the shadow threw something at the sewers water causing an explosion of smoke filled with disgusting stench that forced the kunoichi to cough and cover her tearing eyes, once the smoke subsided the shadow was nowhere to be seen "Damn."
Kasumi began to investigate unaware of the shadow that left the sewers, the shadow rushed to a nearby public restroom washing themselves "Man that was close, to think Kasumi herself would chase me."
Jasper Jones mused "Hmm who was that kid anyways and why is Kasumi with him? Not even my student follower was able to sit down with him."
After washing herself a bit more Jasper opened the door greeted by a less than pleased Kasumi "Hello there miss."
"Hey there" Jasper smiled nervously at her.
*Fiona Fangs nicknames*
Chibi Clementine made her way towards a Chibi Bee "Hey Dawn are you going to find a suitable name for Fiona? I mean you keep coming up with names for her but they don't really stick."
"It's just I need something that'll be stuck with her for good like how she made Dull 'N Broken stick with me for a very long time" Chibi Bee answered with an annoyed expression and gritted teeth.
"How about Fiona Fakes or Fiona Flakes."
"Flakes?"
"Yeah like them flake chocolates."
"No I need something embarrassing for her!" Chibi Bee yelled "I know it's there on the tip of my tongue but it won't come out for some reason."
"Will thank you guys for reading and have a nice day."
