"What do you mean Furukuwa?" Tiger narrowed his eyes.
"Things haven't improved one bit" the man admitted "It's wrestling 101 Tiger you need a change of pace you need more than one place to teach and improve talent and save them from bad instincts, GWM for as bad as it was made business around here and it made business for us when we went to war but since there defeat people stopped caring about wrestling and after seeing where you went many including Okada followed your foot steps and left the country for greener pastures."
"So you want me to come back to discourage other's from leaving?"
"Yes by having you the icon here people will come back and will want to see you, not only that but more talent will be dissuaded from throwing their lot with outsiders and be relegated to nobodies."
"I'm already trying to save one market trying to actively save another is-"
"Then leave her, Mammy is nothing but trouble all the Mexicans that came here agree on that for this reason they came here such as La Calavera" Furukuwa argued "Don't you want to go back home Tiger being with your agent and coach again."
Tiger clenched his fists as Furukuwa tapped his back "I'll leave you to think hope you make the right choice old friend."
Tiger could only hear Furukawa's retreating foot steps as he was left alone to his thoughts.

"Wah!" Kaori cried as she fell flat on her face against the mat as she glared up at her coach who sighed.
"You haven't got the footing to work right yet."
"Of course I didn't!" she yelled before leaving the ring in anger.
"Hey where are you going?" Haruna demanded.
"To get fresh air dealing with this anymore will make my beautiful face suffer from twists and I need to punch some people."
"Your not going to another street fight are you?" Kaori simply kept walking away confirming Haruna's horror.
"GET BACK HERE!" Haruna yelled as she chased after Kaori last thing she needs is another street fight to get out of hand and cause more trouble.
Kaori ignored and went for the streets rushing the back alleys "HEY ANYBODY UP FOR SOME ASS KICKING!"
No answer came making Kaori narrow her eyes at the silence "HEY!"
"Keep your voice down" Haruna demanded as she bounced on her back "Last thing you need is to piss that gang again."
"Raganorak had been quite since Kisara tried to fight Tiger Mask W" a third voice intervened looking to it's direction the two were greeted by the sight of Maki Aikawa.
"AIR MASTER FACE ME!" Kaori yelled rushing towards the tall teenage girl brushing Haruna off of her but before she could land a single punch Maki smashed a shoe into her face.
"Idiot street fights aren't happening now!" Maki yelled before she adjusted herself behind Kaori helping her up just in time as two officers appeared.
The first was a tall woman with short black hair wearing a pair of glasses, the second was shorter with blonde hair looking more excitable "What's up officers?"
Maki quickly straightened Kaori up as Haruna braced herself and began to think of a way out of this, the taller officer leaned her glasses forwards a bit looking over the trio of women "Is a street fight happening here?"
"No my sister was drinking early in the morning a very terrible habit and I'm helping her with the hang over" Haruna quickly blurted as she shot Kaori's ribs with her elbow making her wobble and drop saliva to add legitimacy to the story.
Maki smiled nervously nodding along with the story as the officer kept an intense gaze "You don't look like sisters ma'am."
"Eh" Haruna quickly closed her mouth as the officer leaned in closer.
"You look completely different from one another."
"We're step sisters!" Haruna quickly blurted out to the officer who narrowed her gaze making Haruna sweat even more.
"Karin let it go" her partner said "They obviously not here for a fight."
"Mei it's suspicious for these women to group up in an alleyway not to mention one of them is a school student" Karin pointed at Maki and her uniform "If their step sisters as they claim who are you then?"
"I'm a student I was just hanging around before meeting up with my friends" Maki stiffed as if she was practicing the line thousands of times in front of a mirror."
"Hmm as I recall reading files about street fights one of them mentions a taller than average highschool girl" Karin leaned in closer to Maki making her sweat.
"I'm afraid that street fighting isn't an expertise of mine so I had never heard such a thing maybe heard it in passing from some punks at the hallway" Maki said.
Karin leaned in closer pressing her face against Maki's their eyes meeting as Maki's eyes narrowed making Karin surprised but before she could say anything else.
"Maki sorry for the wait" Yuu waved as she, Renge, Michiru and Mina ran up to her all of the three immediately looked at the officers "Something wrong officers?"
"Detectives, I'm Karin and this here is my partner Mei we were investigating the street fights happening in this town and your friend here matches the descriptions we got of one street fighter" Karin answered "Does your friend dabble in any street fights miss?"
"Yeah Maki is-" both Michiru and Mina quickly clamped down on Renge's mouth stopping her from admitting.
"What was that?" Karin asked as Yuu nervously turned to the detective.
"Are friend here is a bit off if you'll excuse me" Yuu joined her friends as they mumbled to Renge before letting her mouth open.
"Sorry detective I was just thinking that Maki would make a good basis for a fighting game character" Reneg said.
"Karin we got to go just got a feedback from HQ asking for our present somewhere seems some fighters are out and about" Mei told her partner as both went to their car and driven away.
The moment they were out of sight everyone breathed a collective sigh of relief which was short lived "Now Air Master time to settle the score between us!"
Kaori took a stance as Maki glared at her "Do you want those two cops to come back?"
"She's not wrong Kaori Sakiyama thanks to a certain gang messing with a celebrity cops are all over town to catch any street fighter dumb enough to show their faces in public" Yuu revealed "Anyways me and the girls are leaving so good bye Kaori and you miss."
"Your not getting away from me this easily!" Kaori proclaimed making Haruna the girls sigh.
"You can join us if you want Kaori" Renge offered much to the annoyance of her friends.
"I'll!" Kaori proclaimed as she wrapped her arms around Haruna "And she's coming along too."
The girls simply sighed as Haruna nervously hung her head down mumbling apologies.
(…)
The group made it to an ice cream shop everyone placing their orders due to Kaori's actions Haruna offered and paid for everyone "Wow how much do you make miss?"
"What job do you work?" Michiru followed Yuu.
"I'm an agent actually" Haruna answered to keep her Springer persona secret.
"An actual agent and your with Kaori?" Yuu asked pointing at the woman who glared at the back of her head.
"Well I mostly just hold meetings with her despite her rather odd quirks Ms. Sakiyama does have the fire of a star somewhere deep down within herself" Haruna answered.
"I knew you from somewhere" Renge suddenly spoke up "You're the agent of Tiger Mask W right?"
"Former agent actually him and I ended our partnership" Haruna answered as the girls leaned towards her further with Maki actually showing some interests as well.
"So you're going with Kaori now? I mean she did kick some asses on the street but is she good enough to go with pros?" Yuu asked.
"Besides doesn't she want to be a model of some kind?" Michiru added.
"Well you would be surprised by how many agencies now want strong combat women to promote products for them these days" Haruna answered the two girls "Kaori is both strong and beautiful so I'll see how far she can go and if she's worth agenting."
"Yeah your better off agenting some tough guy rather than Kaori" Yuu said angering Kaori who caught her from behind in a headlock.
"TAKE THAT BACK!" Kaori screamed as Michiru and Renge came to Yuu's rescue as well as Haruna trying to parry the adult woman off of the teenage girl.
"Kaori please calm down" Renge begged.
"Anymore and your going to knock Yuu out" Michiru struggled.
"Kaori people are watching" Haruna said causing Kaori to take a pause and see the staff as well as patrons watching the event unfold as Kaori immediately released Yuu who coughed being tended to and comforted by her two friends, as things calmed down a bit and everyone ate their treats and talked about topics which Haruna didn't really pay much attention to being about school gossip before everyone got up and stretched.
"Well good luck with Kaori lady agent she maybe a psycho but she's a good woman" Renge said.
"Your going to need it a lot" Michiru added giving Haruna a pat on the shoulder and pity eyes.
Yuu made sure Kaori was still grumbling before she leaned in whispering to Haruna "If she's not good some classmate of mine lives at a flat that has a wrestling tag team in it both of them are women, I'll get the address and share it with you next time."
The three girls and Kaori left as Haruna was about to call it a day herself she felt a hand on her shoulder looking back she saw Maki narrowing her eyes at her "Something you need?"
"Your Tiger Mask's agent?"
"Used to be he and I went different ways and markets" Haruna reconfirmed feeling stiff at her gaze.
"If I ask to arrange a fight with him can you-"
"No I can't and I won't!" Haruna snapped slapping Maki's hand away from her shoulder.
Maki was taken back by the ferocity of the woman her father told her that good agents that knew what they were doing were capable but that woman showed some blood that of someone who fights "Sorry I just wanted to see weather I can or not I didn't mean to cause a scare."
Haruna looked at the tall girls before she opened her mouth "Are you a street fighter like Kaori?"
"Yeah and if you knew she was a street fighter why do you talk with her about agenting wouldn't you be caught for it?"
"I haven't agented in a while and Kaori does need a place to be, street fighting is a waste of good talent true battles are-"
"In the streets!" Maki yelled before she calmed a bit not to draw attention "Rings, mats and cages are nothing all of them are controlled weather be it a ref, the management or some sense of honour the streets on the other hand are where true battles are being held only those that have what it takes survive and thrive in it; it's where many of us belong."
"Um-"
"Sorry I went on a tangent there for a bit thank you for your time as well as paying for the treats I should be going."
Haruna saw the tall girl make her way out of the restaurant feeling slight regret at the way she spoke to her feeling as if she said something that saddened and angered the young girl, the way she spoke so defensively of her pass time felt more of someone protecting their passion 'Now that I think about it she seemed angry at Kaori when we met, she knows Kaori was part of the incident but considering how civil she was she doesn't know just how much Kaori contributed in it.'

*Queen Bee meets Queen Bee*
Chibi Queen Bee was resting at her home since Fiona has yet to give her a new challenger after Number 24561 she could have a bit more of rest to loosen her sore muscles as she drifted to sleep she opened her eyes finding herself in…Berserk gym?
Chibi Inoba and two Chibi detectives were with her "Someone attacked Tania Smythe-"
"Wait what's going on?" she asked but her question wasn't heard as the detectives relied what happened and before she could say more she heard "What? You're serious?"
She said that or she believes she did shaking her head she saw herself talking to Sakura and Elena scolding her about challenging Tania Smythe, she got up shaking her head "What was that?"
"An alternate universe" she found the other Queen Bee next to her "I joined Berserk there and-"
"You're bad like really bad and I would smack you" she scolded her other self.
The other Chibi self simply looked to the readers "Um the detectives here belong to our creator Epiclot214 in the universe I came from Wanna be the queen of pro wrestling Awesome thought that both of them-"
"Hold on you don't get to make advertisements for your universe in this one and shouldn't both of us advertise Xtrema universe?"
"Well I believe-"
"Just leave before I give a far greater punishment than Kanae of all people gives you" Chibi Bee told her alternate self who popped out of existence as she woke up.
She shook her head "Not drinking sports drink before bed again, anyways thanks for reading and have a nice day."
