Haruna stood with her back on the pole inside the hospital where she was at a while back as today was the awaited day "Haruna."

Familiar voices called out to her turning around she saw none other then Mint and Milk, tears of joy formed in her eyes along with a smile "GUYS!"

Rushing to her friends the three embraced and shed tears together "I'm so glad you two are alright, I was so worried that because of my stupidity-"

"Girl we followed you out of our violation don't go making sound so bad" Mint lectured as she ruffled Haruna's hair.

"Besides if we weren't there it could have gone worst for you and Naoto" Milk assured.

"Naoto" Haruna whispered to herself with a blush, one that didn't escape Mint, something about it was different along with the tone Haruna spoke in not the usual tsundere type "Anyways let's get to Jun she had been worried about the two of you."

"Right" both women nodded as the three of them left the hospital making their way to the restaurant of Matsuda and Juli.

Milk didn't feel staying silent and prompted to start a conversation "So anything happened after we got held in the hospital?"

"Well first there was" Haruna began to list the things that happened first with how the gangsters stopped attacking them then the work place happenings like Queen Bee and Clementine Cirrus being in sort of better terms now after they competed in a tag match against Selena and Jackie Cayman of Dark Machine avenging her paper win, how Jasper Jones is acting a lot more giddy than usual and Platinum Mask acting suspiciously looking for Solid Venom who disappeared all of a sudden claiming a family emergency came to her attention, Kaito and Cory having a match before breaking up.

"Well I'm glad that Bee chick avenged herself and proved her prowess didn't have to wait like we did" Mint commented.

"Too bad for Kaito though getting beaten by a woman is one thing but getting beaten and then having your heart broken is completely another" Milk commented.

"Yeah I can see where Cory was coming from but well I can't see what so attractive about him."

"Well some girls like seeing a weak man getting beaten and humiliated by them and wish to either hurt him more or pity him" Milk answered her partner with a chuckle "Plus he's good looking."

"What are you going after him now partner?" Mint asked with a risen eyebrow.

"No he isn't my type" Milk answered with a smile as the two then eyed Haruna "Speaking of guys how Naoto been doing after the incident?"

"He's fine he was let out before all of us, we talked and well" Haruna twiddled her fingers.

"You kissed, you confessed" Mint said teasingly.

"Yes."

Both girls had their faces fall never would they expected hard driven Haruna to actually do this "What?"

"We went on a date just us two no uncle around, we looked back at all the things we went through and did" Haruna steeled herself with gulp "Then kissed him."

"You left after that?" Mint asked.

"Yes."

Milk grabbed Haruna by her shoulders and began shaking her "What's wrong with you? What kind of woman kisses a man before leaving?"

"It was a spurt of the moment and it wasn't a kiss it was a peck on the cheek."

"Pecks might as well be counted as kisses today" Mint grabbed hold of Haruna's collar "You can't just leave him hanging."

"We talked and I confessed."

Upon hearing this both women released their holds on Haruna before eyeing her again "And what did he say?"

"He doesn't have an answer yet" Haruna answered Mint's question.

"Your so hopeless Haruna you went from blindly chasing your love interests to putting him in corners" Milk shook her head like a parent disappointed in their kid.

"At least I made progress and who are you guys to lecture me about relationships? I don't see any men around you, I can understand X since she was married."

"Wait you also involved Ms. X into this?"

"Yes why?" Haruna answered and asked Mint causing the Candy Pair to sigh as they approached Haruna slowly "Guys?"

"What kind of idiot are you!" both yelled as they karate chopped Haruna on the head.

Aster and Kasumi sat in silence during lunch it was a while ago that the master returned from his trip with Misaka Nakahara and her group, by the looks of him he didn't enjoy the trip "Are you alright?"

Aster sighed at Kasumi's question "Confused is all."

Flashback

Aster and the group stayed around swimming and eating before watching the Xtrema show as the last match between Springer and Payne Fox ended one of the guys shut the tv "Great just another pounding on the little Japanese girls, I know these Americans are huge and have more muscles but c'mon!"

"You like little Japanese girls?" a small girl purred into his ear wrapping her arms around his neck as she nipped on the back of it.

"You know it" he pushed her face up before eating her mouth as the two exchanged saliva, soon enough the heat began to radiate and effect the other's every boy grabbing a girl from eating her to outright taking off her kimono.

Aster swallowed ready to leave but suddenly he felt something climb his back "Where are you going?"

Turning around he saw a flushed Misaka licking his ear "GET OFF!"

Aster knocked Misaka off of him and escaped the room of lovers breathing heavily "Hey what was that for?"

Asked an angry Misaka that followed after him rubbing her head "That's my question, you brought me here to make out?"

Misaka sighed sadly at the fury Aster is directing at her "No I was just under the weather sorry."

"Under the weather yeah" Aster turned around and walked away before his arm was grabbed.

"Please don't leave me" Misaka begged as she leaned her head against his back.

Aster sighed as the two sat on a nearby bench, the two remained silent with Aster not having the ability to speak whilst Misaka was lost "Listen I'm sorry about that."

"Just don't ever do it ag-"

"Not that" she cut him off as she stared unto his eyes surprising him "I'm sorry about the way I handled your confession to me."

Aster was bashed it was two years ago when he and Misaka began to hang out, at first they were kindred souls rejected by those around them for not being like everyone else is but as time passed by and the two grown closer Aster would admit he fell in love with her.

He wanted to be with Misaka forever after so long of second guessing himself and thinking of a way but he did it he confessed to Misaka, what was supposed to be in his head the best day ever turned into the worst when his kindred spirit rather than accept or politely decline laughed before leaving him as his heart broke into pieces.

Looking back this was probably when his family began entering his business more as a guy that was devastated they monitored him twenty four seven especially when his younger sister Noelle accused him of complementing suicide over this rejection forever showing concern and distrust to any girl that approaches him and Charlotte began setting him up with other girls hoping that Misaka would disappear from his heart, over time Aster recovered and here he is now despite what his sisters are saying "It was years ago I was a fool in love and didn't pick up the signs."

"You sound like an Oldman" Misaka chuckled "Still I acted like a bitch back then and I'm sorry."

"So now you feel lonely with your friends having boyfriends or what?"

"No I just felt that rejects aren't supposed to reproduce but seeing them, seeing others made me feel more confident and comfortable of who I am and what I chose to do."

"I wish I had that aloofness of yours."

"I like you the way you are" Misaka smiled "So just keep being that sarcastic boy that hates everyone and everything for rejecting him, I know there is more to you than that after all" she got off and looked at him "If one person accepts another that's all that matters to the person right?"

Aster just nodded weakly as the two killed time by walking until the others stopped what they were doing and returned.

Present

Aster was completely lost ever since Misaka came back she had been trying to reconnect with him and now she apologized for breaking his heart back then "Have you been good on your own here?"

"Yes productively good" Kasumi answered as she recalled her own experience.

Flashback

Standing in front of Jasper Jones in the restroom Kasumi expected she will have to fight but instead the woman gushed "It's you really you Kasumi the Ninja girl of Dead or alive!"

"Kunoichi."

Jasper shrugged the correction as she quickly sized Kasumi from all corners "Are you like a real Shinobi? From one of these still active clans? How many are there? Did they also compete in Dead or alive or any other fighting tournament?"

"Yes" Kasumi spoke with nervousness as she eyed her suspiciously "And you are?"

Jasper coughed gaining her cool back giving her hand for a shake to Kasumi "Jasper Jones a reincarnation of Barbaria the barbarian queen warrior."

"Nice to meet you" Kasumi said nervously.

"I'm also an active theorist regarding combat sports so seeing you is like me finding Moby Dick."

Kasumi quickly retracted her hands taking a fighting stance "What did I do to you?"

"Terrible pun on me there" after all the whale is being searched for revenge in the novel "I meant well it's a dream come true for me to see you here in the flesh."

Kasumi dropped her stance but still wary of the claimed reincarnation "Is this why you had been searching that boy?"

"Yeah his neighbours are Calypso and Amazon Aqua two Wrestlers that work with me said something about suddenly hearing a girl's voice in there and it peeked my curiosity, never would I have imagined to run into Kasumi of all people in this new conspiracy" Jasper answered with a victorious smirk as she buffed out her chest "GAH!"

Jasper held her stomach as Kasumi suddenly kicked her "Do you know what kind of trouble you caused him?"

"I tried more civil ways like asking one of my followers who attends school with him for answers-gehu!"

She was shot upwards by another kick from Kasumi "He was feeling terribly, I was feeling worst thinking that I endangered him!"

Kasumi took time to breath off as Jasper coughed and stood up "Sorry for the trouble but searching for the truth is never an easy task."

"If you get answers will you leave us be?" Jasper nodded "Will you share this with anyone?"

"If you want to keep this secret I'll arrange a blood pact" Kasumi was taken back by the woman's answer as well as her drive to get this far.

"What do you wish to know?"

Present

Kasumi looked up hoping she didn't make a terrible mistake by talking to Jasper Jones or was she looking forwards to explain what happened to her master, she can't lie to him if she did she might as well take her own life no retainer dares to lie to their master.

If the truth is to be spoken he'll be more angry with her as even if her clan wasn't the one after them she still was the target and he was targeted as well because of her presence, this will also cause a conflict between him and the two Wrestlers next door to them who brought that conspiracy theorist attention.

*Knock, knock

The knocking on the door snapped the two out of their reflections as Aster got up and went to the door whilst Kasumi quickly hid away, opening it up he surprised to see the two Wrestlers next door to him at his steps both seemed weird carrying a cake "Did you get the wrong door?"

"No we wanted to apologize" Calypso admitted giving the cake to Aster "The cops recently caught the stalker."

"Really?"

"Yeah turned out to be a sick fan of ours or rather of C" Aqua answered giving her tag team partner and roommate a look "Everyone else yourself included were caught in it."

"So your going to give everyone cake?"

"No just you since you were next door to us and were caught in it" Calypso answered his sarcastic question with a knowing smile.

"We're sorry again" the two said as Aster closed the door with a nod.

Kasumi landed back on the floor once the cost was clear "Aster I-"

"Problem solved just need to phone sis real quick" he interrupted her making feel worst by staying silent.

Meanwhile outside Calypso and Aqua walked slowly back to their apartment room "So Jasper is done C?"

"According to her she found what she needed and ended up finding an actual stalker to report in her place" Calypso answered as the two closed the door of their room behind them.

Fiona nervously looked over the list of the Hardkor Wrestlers left tabbing her finger at the table looking over certain names "Their good they are getting to the Six woman championship so hopefully those three one of them at least will stop Dull 'N Broken on her tracks once and for all reminding her of her place."

She grabbed her phone and began recording her message "Hey Number 42561 can you beat Dull 'N Broken in your speciality match?"

She sent the voice mail, half an hour passed before her gym mate saw the message and texted back 'Sure.'

Fiona should feel unconfident about this but the former inmate had saw and forced some of them to experience them in her jail house match, she needed some time to recover from that match type being attacked and touched in places by inmates who were jailed for sexual harassment which got beaten by getting stabbed or into the shower where Number 42561 demonstrated the act of 'don't drop the soup.'

And it was just the perfect type of match to remind Dull 'N Broken just how weak and bottom bitch she is.

(…)

"I'm so glad you two are alright" Jun hugged Mint and then Milk when the trio arrived at Matsuda and Juli's "Just for that today's orders are on the house."

The Candy Pair were about to protest but Haruna immediately cut them off "Thank you!"

Both of them shook their heads at Haruna who didn't pay them any mind, soon enough Jun began serving the group their meals as they discussed "So you guys are ding a conference?"

"It's mandatory according to X, now that the first tag team that'll compete for the tag titles is to be decided we along with Dark Machine and Juicy Pair will have a conference" Mint answered.

"Lucky I only had the one conference when we started and even then all what people remember from it is the dare Mother Devil set for me" Haruna slumped down.

"Well this is our second conference for the tag team gold so we're going to give it our all" Milk high fived her partner as the two had matching smirks.

"Sorry to keep you waiting" Jun arrived with their meals with Haruna ordering a large portion, numerous topics were discussed with between the three of them about possible lines and team ups along with Haruna hypnotizing her own conference for the world title.

The meals were finished as the trio got up ready to leave "Hold it you haven't paid."

Jun got Haruna by the back of her shirt making her look back at her "You said it was on the house for us."

"The Candy Pair not you" Jun revealed much to Haruna's shock and horror as her friends gave her looks of satisfaction before leaving.

*Fiona remembers*

"Yes the perfect match to remind Dull 'N Broken how much of a bottom bitch she is" Chibi Fiona mused "Prison is where the baddest women are taught a-"

Her mind suddenly began to reply certain comments

"Nice body."

"Your wide open!"

"Stab!"

"Wahoo women's sent!"

"Get it here."

"My shit is on a woman's face!"

Chibi Fiona quickly dialled a number "Hi psychotherapy I want an appointment."
