The crowd was completely silent watching two combatants standing a few feet's away from each other, one was a large woman with green hair tied in ponytail and matching eyes wearing a grey crop-top with a black Japanese Dragon coursing through it above a black sports bra, torn jean shorts along with fingerless red gloves and black boots.
The other was slimmer woman with short purple hair that reaches the top of her back and matching eyes wearing a strapless lighter dark shade of purple skin tight leotard that shows the front of her stomach with Panther skin lines coursing through attached to the leotard going down to her boots that are covered in Panther fur with matching wristbands and choke collar.
As of now both women were breathing raggedly with many bruises apparent on their bodies despite that both had determined looks filled fiery drive forcing their bodies to stand firm despite the pain, at ringside a man with short brown hair and blue eyes wearing a black suit looked at the ring or rather the Panther dressed woman with worry alongside another woman with spikey black hair and crimson eyes dressed in a black jacket and matching pants tapping her leg uncontrollably "Risako we trained for this."
"Calm yourself Blade" the man assured her.
"I'm perfectly calm Masaru!" Blade snapped at the man named Masaru "What about you? Aren't you worried about her well being and status after the fight?"
"Yes I do both as her manager and as her companion" Masaru answered looking at the ring intensively "For that I must be calm and let her do what she does best."
"Wow that's really deep" Blade praised before she too returned her gaze to the ring.
Masaru placed his hands back crossing his fingers 'C'mon Risako you can do it.'
Back in the ring the green haired woman began to growl before she roared and rushed at her adversary with a close-line approaching the purple haired woman the people began getting up from their seats in anticipation especially as the purple haired Panther woman made no move whatso ever even as her opponent was about to snap at her neck just in the last second the purple haired Panther ducked and grabbed the bigger combatant from behind before she bended backwards slamming her back fist unto the mat with a thunderous echo by the capture suplex, the green haired combatant gasped silently as her irises turned back slowly within her head stopping in complete comatose "C'MON PIN HER RISAKO!" Blade yelled from outside.
The Panther limbed forwards before she placed herself on top of the comatose woman "1…2…3!"
DING! DING!
"Your winner by pinfall and the new IWWF Asia Heavyweight Champion Panther Risako!" the ring announcer voice was met by a thunderous applause and cheers from the attending crowd, the ring crew entered the ring carrying a dark blue strap handing it over to Panther Risako who smirked victoriously cradling her newly won title like a beautiful new-born.
It was a ark blue strap with a red pillow on the middle which held five golden plates two on the right being winged suns that had the flags of Japan and Russia and two on the left also were winged suns that had the flags of Turkey and India, the fifth plate was on the middle being the biggest shaped like a shield with a black extension on the top that had 'IWWF ALL ASIA' carved in gold inside the shield is a globe centered on the Asian continent a black circle surrounded the globe with the words 'HEAVYWEIGHT CHMPION' carved in gold as well an beneath the end of the shield had the name plate which had the name of the former champion 'DRAGON FUJIKO'. Panther smashed her face unto the belt kissing it before she raised it up to snapping camera's and cheering fans.
Blade and Masaru smiled wiping tears off of their eyes before they quickly got inside and placed their hands on Risako's shoulders getting her up to her feet as she held her new title up high.
(…)
"Augh so tired everything hurts" Risako whined having switched her attire into a more civil one consisting of a purple top that leave her stomach exposed and red gym pants with white outlines along with a matching jacket that is zipped up stopping right under the breasts and purple sneakers, she leaned on the car window for support still holding the title tightly in her grasp.
"I told you not to go for another shot after three chugging contests but you didn't listen to me" Masaru shaded seemingly angry at what had transpired.
Risako smiled weakly "It was a worthwhile party after all" she spared a glance to the belt "I have been chasing this title since forever."
"Yeah but now everyone will be coming for you" Masaru retorted.
"Augh I know your my manager and all that but do you have to be a kill joy too?" Risako complained before smirking "Well then consider our part of the celebration off."
Masaru gulped "A-alright."
Risako snorted "I'm just joking" the Wrestler got off the window and leaned towards her manager kissing his cheek "Just learn to relax no matter what comes next as long as your by my side I'll be fine."
Masaru smiled turning to her slightly the two locked eyes for a bit before they touched foreheads and shared a kiss, despite their position as Wrestler and manager the two found each other's company comforting and became intimate with one another such a relationship was disclosed and only a few namely Blade Risako's best friend knew about it as well as another secret.
The drive finally came to a halt before a large mansion with a fountain in front of it the metal gates opened allowing the two inside taking a turn entering the garage.
"Welcome back Master and Mistress and congratulations for your victory" a group of butlers and maids spoke in unison bowing before the arriving couple.
Masaru and Risako left the car as an Oldman butler approached them "Welcome back and congratulations lady Risako on your victory and your newly won belt."
"Thanks Masahiro I trust you managed to put Shinya to sleep" Risako spoke hopefully.
The Oldman closed his eyes momentarily shaking his head "I'm afraid young master was adamant about watching the match and waiting for your-"
The swinging of the door stopped him on his tracks as a young boy with short brown hair and blue eyes like Masaru but a face that matched Risako wearing light blue pyjamas rushed towards the couple "Mommy you won!"
Risako chuckled as she went down scooping the boy up in a hug "Hey Shinya why aren't you sleeping?"
"I wanted to see you and watch your win" the boy answered before adding "I also wanted to hold the belt."
Risako chuckled "Okay here."
The boy's blue eyes shined ever so brightly holding the belt admiring it's prestigious design as well as the weight of it now supporting the name of the new champion 'PANTHER RISAKO' "Cool the name even changed already!"
"Okay now give it back" Risako was about to take the belt back but the boy turned around protecting it pouting making Risako smile in mischief as she grabbed the boy from behind tickling him "Ultimate move tickle attack!"
"Hey not fair" the boy complained as he became teary eyed from laughter "Stop it I'll give it back!"
Risako stopped taking her belt back before she scooped the boy up again "Now that's over with let's take you to bed."
"Can't I stay up with you a bit more?" the boy complained.
"Listen to your mother Shinya" Masaru scolded the boy.
"Fine dad" the boy pouted further, not only are they a couple but the two in fact are parents of this boy Shinya 7 years of age as of now like with their relationship only a select few namely Blade Risako's best friend knows the truth.
Risako and Masaru climbed up the stairs with their boy in tow still held by his mother as they took him to his room and dumping on his bed after giving him a kiss Risako turned off the lights "Good night."
Closing the door Risako turned around to meet Masaru only to be left with nothing "He probably went to bed already."
The champion made her way to their shared bedroom only to find a maid standing before her holding a box "Lady Risako Master Masaru requested you wear this for his part of your victory's celebration."
Risako smiled seeing inside the box a rather sexy and revealing lingerie, licking her lips seductively she went ahead to one room putting it on before she made her way to the bedroom meeting Masaru wearing his briefs as the two embraced exchanging a long and seductive kiss which then turned into a tongue battle before Risako pushed Masaru down sucking the air out of him prompting him to counter attack by sneaking his hand behind his beloved and squeeze her ass making moan long enough to let go and he pushes her under him placing his erected groin before her face "What's the matter champ can't handle it?"
Risako fought back her heat before she smirked grabbing the briefs and taking his groin into her mouth making him release satisfied noises as she took over.
(…)
The sun shined through the window into the messy bedroom of the couple who were laying in their bed both satisfied and beaten over their activity last night, Risako smiled seductively as she reached her husband's neck kissing it lightly making satisfied groans come out of him before he grabbed her chin and planted a kiss on her lips.
The door was swung open rather violently prompting the couple to stagger back knowing who came in "Good morning guys" Shinya said rather cutely as he jumped into the bed meeting kind smiles from both his parents.
"Good morning Shinya are you ready for a day with us?" Masaru asked making the boy's eyes shine with happiness.
"Really a day with you guys?" the boy asked excitedly as both parents nodded "Doesn't mom have some more things to do being the new champion and all?"
"There is a press conference in a few days giving me time with my two favourite men in the world" Risako answered hugging both Masaru and Shinya kissing the former's cheek and the latter's head "And even after the conference it'll take a while before I get a contender perhaps a rematch with Fujiko who had to be taken to the hospital after out match."
"Cool!" Shinya cried jumping off the bed "I get to call the shots as always."
The parents chuckled knowing that due to their relationship being a secret along with Shinya they barely spend time with him and each other as family so to make it up they allow their kid to take charge on their days off "Then what do we do?" Masaru asked.
"Let's play in the swimming pool!" Shinya proclaimed pointing his finger towards the direction of the pool.
"Alright honey but let's not forget to eat breakfast and allow our stomachs to digest" Risako reminded making Shinya grumble.
The family met in the kitchen eating their breakfast with joy as they laughed and talked until finally the time for their activity came Shinya wore a pair of red trunks, Masaru wore green speedos and Risako a Panther printed bikini as they all jumped into the pool "Canon ball!" the entire family called out before making a large splash.
"Take this!" Shinya told his mother as he began splashing her with water "And this!"
Risako covered herself up before she felt someone grab her from behind "Do you surrender champ?" Masaru asked holding Risako who smirked she easily parred her husband off making both him and their son stumble into each other before they were both splashed by water from Risako who kept hurling huge amounts at them both, Shinya tried to swim under but his mother saw it coming always putting away distance overwhelming them.
"WE GIVE UP!" both men shouted prompting Risako to stop as she smiled in victory.
"Yep still the reigning champion of water splashing!" Risako proclaimed holding her chest up high before a water splash hit her.
"Nope your not" Shinya said still hurling water at his mother before she ducked and risen up behind him catching him in a back hug "No fair."
"It's not fair to attack after giving up too" Risako countered playing with her son's wet hair.
The family fun would come to an end though as a butler came with a rather strained expression "Lady Risako the doctor taking care of Dragon Fujiko finally picked up."
Risako perked picking up the rather miserable tone of voice and the serious expression on the man "What's going on?"
"I believe this's something for your ears only ma'am."
Risako nodded climbing the nearest ladder taking a towel a maid offered before drying her hair and wrapping it around her body before she left following after the butler, Masaru watched also taken back by the sudden change of atmosphere "Dad why does mom call her opponents?" Shinya's sudden question snapped Masaru out of his daze as he met his son's confusion "Didn't that woman hurt her?"
"Yes she did, but your mother is an honest person no matter how much she's brought down she'll get back up and will never stoop as low as those she fights that is what makes her special" Masaru answered satisfying his son only a little.
The shatter of glass brought their attention as they both got off and ran towards the sound where they saw Risako had fallen to her knees clutching the phone holding her mouth with streams of tears going down her face "Risako are you okay?" Masaru asked hugging his lover who turned her back on him.
"Stay away both of you!" Risako shouted shocking both men.
"Mom" Shinya called saddened by the outburst.
"Risako what's going on?" Masaru asked as his lover kept weeping.
"I*sniff* I'm a monster" Risako wept "I destroyed a career*sniff*."
(…)
Normally a press conference held to a new champion would be filled with excitement at the prospect of a new era but not only was it heavily raining but the revelation of what happened to the former champion had placed many in rather sombre modes, Risako walked in carrying her newly won prize on her shoulder but she displayed no pride or happiness rather she looked miserable and withdrawn immediately the reporters began speaking and some taking photos before the champion took her place on top of the podium "Hello everyone" Risako began "As you may know the day after my triumphant win and successfully capturing this title the news had reached that Dragon Fujiko had suffered a spinal split in her back because of my finishing move, she'll make a recovery but the doctors doubt it'll be a full one rather her match against me was her final one."
Murmurs followed before a reporter asked "Ms. Risako with Dragon Fujiko seen out of commission who would be the first contender for your title?"
"Honestly I would prefer no one" Risako answered in her withdrawn monotone voice causing an uproar.
"You can't do that!"
"The belt would be taken off of you if you refuse to comply!"
"So will you ruin the careers of upcoming stars?"
"No I'll save them" Risako answered surprising the reporters who grew silent allowing her to elaborate "Chasing this accursed title is what caused Fujiko to retire by force and I'll dedicate my reign to ensure a similar mistake won't happen if that's all I'll be leaving."
Risako got off the podium surrounded by her guards ignoring the numerous questions thrown towards her making her way to the limo as it took off leaving behind the dumbstruck reporters, Risako sighed looking at the title before tossing it aside a ring was heard on her phone picking it up numerous notifications mostly messages came in from all sides she just switched the phone into silence before she gazed into the rainy sky.
(…)
"Risako are you out of your mind?" Masaru asked finally able to speak to her face to face returning to their shared home "The whole idea of winning the belt was to kickstart a new era not withholding back on future stars."
"Masaru here I thought you'll be by my side" Risako whispered sadly feeling her eyes swelling up.
"Honey what happened to Fujiko is terrible but-"
"But what?" Risako snapped "I caused a woman to retire and leave what she loved I'll just keep doing it to other people including challengers who are new stars it's better this way for me to be an immortal champion so no one will get hurt."
"What kind of logic is that!" Masaru yelled slapping Risako who fell the Panther held her cheek in pain not of the blow physically but of the emotional level as her eyes kept watering, Masaru looked at his hand realizing what he had done "Risako I'm-"
He couldn't explain as Risako kicked his gut before she pushed him to the wall and began slamming his head into it while she wailed "Masaru I thought you loved me! But I'm just your prize that you enjoy flinging with is all!"
Risako kept bashing Masaru until he fell with a blood vessel busting from his forehead as Risako mounted him and began strangling him with a Camel clutch continuing to wail and pull harder "Mommy."
The calling snapped Risako to the side meeting the scared and teary face of her child "Shinya" Risako released her husband as she slowly reached her son who darted back before running off out of fear.
(…)
"And so like that" the attorney seated before the couple handing off their signed papers "Now your officially divorced with Risako still retaining the house and Masaru gains custody of the boy."
The two were deathly silent before they got up and left, Shinya waited outside before his father took his hand and began walking off while Risako walked off in the opposite direction only giving the back of her head to her son who tried to reach out for her but was held back by the father "Enough Shinya we're going home."
"But mom" the boy begged.
"She's not your mom not officially anymore" the father said in a retired annoyed tone.
"Why?" the boy cried.
"Because she's gone me and you are no longer safe with her, now we're going to find a new home."
(…)
11 years later
In the confines of a dirty apartment the curtains were grouped together and the windows were shut, the piles of clothes and other junk filled the room with a disgusting smell that could be seen by the naked eye the door was opened by a staff member of the hotel causing a groan to be heard as the blanket in the bed moved to the side "Too early" a teenage boy's voice complained.
"Nope it's right on time for school" the staff member corrected "Now get up and leave your daddy isn't paying me to let you slouch off Shinya."
The now named Shinya sighed tossing off the blanket being the very same boy from before but now grown being a teenager about to reach his adulthood with a strained look on his face rather than a child who looked bright "I mean why does he care he tossed me the moment I was 15."
"I'm not going to delve in whatever family drama you have but please leave this apartment already and go."
(…)
Shinya sighed for the millionth time as he slummed into his desk ignoring the lecture just wanting to go back as soon as possible, a paper was put before him snapping him back he picked it up confused he may not be paying much attention but he's sure there was no exam "Now this's a forum that is required to be filled regarding your goals for the future please have them ready by the end of this week" the teacher announced "Class dismissed!"
Shinya left the classroom crumping the paper and putting inside his bag before he walked out "Another challenge turned down by Panther Risako I can't believe the commission allowed her to be champion for eleven years!" a boy complained checking his phone causing Shinya to look down hearing the name of the woman he once called his mother and how she's still clinging to that sport that ruined her family the nerve of her!
"Believe it many girls were easily defeated by her without resulting to using that move that crippled Fujiko" another boy said "Not even Blade Uehara was capable of beating her."
Shinya quickly walked off leaving not willing to hear more about the woman his memories of her became vivid only the time where she beated his father remained fresh in his mind.
Groaning he picked up his pace running off through the gates and flying wherever his feet were able to take him which was towards the alleyways finding a seat in the form of a dumpster he sat down placing a palm on his face wiping a few tears that formed in his face "Damn it!"
Shinya opened his wallet seeing a picture that of his family before that fateful match picking it out he crumpled the photo and tossed it on the side allowing the wind to pick it up but the travel was stopped by a shoe belonging to a hooded figure that let out a buff of smoke "Well, well what do we got here?"
Shinya looked to the side meeting the hooded delinquent along with a few more delinquents showing up "It seems some spoiled city boy had wondered into our turf and is throwing his trash at us" another followed as they all laughed.
"Yeah so what?" Shinya asked stopping their laughter replacing it with annoyed groans.
The head delinquent marched towards him with angered eyes "Think your some big shot because you live better than us?"
"No I just don't really care about these kind of things" Shinya admitted before he placed his gaze downwards "So if you want to beat me up or even kill me just do it now, I don't care anymore."
The delinquent face morphed into disgust as he took off his cigar before crushing it under his shoe "Emo much? I hate your kind more than most city boys those who say they don't care or lost the will to live but go crying after one punch!"
The blow landed square on Shinya making fall with a beaten cheek despite that he didn't make any sound rather he looked up to the delinquent with dead eyes scaring him a little "Am I crying now?" he asked creeping the other's "Just be done with it."
The creepiness had washed off from the gang as they began smirking before they approached the boy and began beating him up from punches to kicks but Shinya did not fight back rather he kept himself in place "Hey how about you pick on someone your own size bullies?" a sudden voice asked scaring the bullies of being caught they slowly turned around meeting the form of a young woman with long pink hair and matching eyes wearing a white t-shirt, blue baggy pants along with white sneakers and a red coat wrapped around her waist.
The gang stopped staring at her before the largest of them glared in an intimidating fashion "What the hell are you looking at girly?"
"I don't know maybe a group of thugs ganging up on one person" the girl answered as a matter of faculty.
The gang looked at her with varying looks along with Shinya who just blankly stared at her from his position "Say girly your good looking" the leader said staring lustfully at her figure "How about you pretend you didn't see anything and we won't damage your body."
"How about you guys apologize to your victim?" the girl asked hardening her glare.
"Fine you wanna play tough I'll tough" one of the members said about to approach her before his leader stopped him "What?"
"Don't damage that body of hers too much" he commanded the guy just huffed before he rushed to the girl with a raised fist about to land it on her only for her to side step catch the fist from behind twisting behind his back before she slammed him back first unto the concrete.
The ruffian got back up attempting to land a cheap shot to her groin but she jumped up and shot a leg right towards his face breaking his nose, the gangster fell on three holding his broken and bloodied nose making the other's remain on edge before they looked towards the glaring girl "So who's next?"
"Don't get cocky!" the broken nosed ruffian shouted attempting another cheap shot to the back of her head but she ducked again before she caught him by the waist and landed him back first against the concrete.
"Who are you girly?" one member asked feeling dread washing over him.
"My name is Yukiko Shinzaki!" the girl proclaimed.
"So their true after all" one member mumbled.
"What do you mean?" another asked.
"Recently rumours began flying around about some bitch named Yukiko stuffing her nose where it doesn't belong and beating up punks" the thug answered.
"Well what are we waiting for let's get her!" one thug shouted as he rushed towards Yukiko with a chained fist but the girl kept evading his blow and right as he though he cornered her she ducked letting him break the brick wall behind her getting his hand stuck in the process allowing Yukiko to get behind him and kick his back before she landed a kick to the back of his skull making him fall to his knees, Yukiko went under evading another cheap shot from another thug as she swept his legs making him fall on all fours allowing Yukiko to climb his back and jump off of it landing a dropkick at two more thugs she grabbed a pair of iron knuckles from one of them as she turned around and punched the recovering thug with in the chest with the iron knuckles making him go down.
"Bitch stop it or I'm going to cut this guy!" the leader threatened holding Shinya from behind and pointing a knife at his throat, Shinya allowed the knife to be pressed rather his neck tried to make way for the knife putting the leader off remembering the nature of their victim which only complicated his threat allowing Yukiko to rush in and punch the leader in the face making him skid back "This isn't over!"
The thugs soon got up and left running for their health once the air had calmed down Yukiko approached the downed Shinya offering him a hand "Hey are you okay? They didn't hit you too hard hopefully, still let's go check on that neck wound of yours-"
Yukiko's worried insurance came to a halt when Shinya snapped her helping hand away "Why did you interfere?"
Yukiko sighed internally guys just won't admit they need help "Listen before you say you didn't need help-"
"I didn't want it" Shinya cut off "I would have preferred if he killed me."
Yukiko felt her chest tightening at his tone and uncaring attitude "Why are you thinking so little of yourself? If you died then-"
"Everyone would have been free!" Shinya shouted "Most importantly me."
"I-I" Yukiko tried to find the right words but none came to her.
"Just leave me alone" Shinya requested picking himself up and leaving his saviour behind him with a sad frown.
Shinya lumped his way back to the apartment building meeting the very same staff member that kicked him out "Wow what happened to you?"
"None of your business" Shinya waved him off before he went to his room crumping down looking up with a sigh forcing himself to sleep.
(…)
The next rolled around and it felt like any other day very long and boring, lunch break rolled around allowing Shinya to sit down in his secluded spot as he ate a loaf of bread slowly a sound of something caught his ear feeling a presence next to him.
His image of a loner had came around successful as many wouldn't associate themselves with the edge lord and knew to stay clear of him since he too went out of his way to stay away from them such as picking this spot which was outside rather than inside in the cafeteria with everyone else, he glanced to the side eyes widened meeting the very girl that helped him yesterday Yukiko wearing the very exact uniform he's wearing but the girl's version "Good morning or rather after noon" Yukiko greeted with a smile.
"Just go" Shinya demanded in a whispered defeat.
"Sorry Shinya but I'm staying here" Yukiko stated firmly before she offered her own lunch "Want some?"
"No I'm good" Shinya continued eating at his bread ignoring the pink haired girl who looked to the side.
"You're different" she suddenly said stopping him from eating as he turned to her "Normally those I save from bullies either thank me or act tough that they didn't need my help but you on the other hand didn't want to be saved."
Shinya remained silent complementing leaving her behind to find solitude "If you just want to talk I'm leaving."
Before Shinya could get up he felt a tug on his shirt turning around he met a disapproving Yukiko who then sat him back down through force "As I was saying your different and that's not a good thing you distance yourself from everyone even now when I was asking about you not even your own classmates knew much, but they all agreed your miserable."
Shinya didn't like where this conversation was going so he just did what he did get up and leave sure it wasn't a courteous exit but then again he didn't care about such concepts but as he left a piece of paper fell from his bag which was picked by Yukiko being the paper regarding future goals "You didn't fill it out yet too?"
Shinya was about to yell at the girl to stop shoving her nose at his business but the last word caught his ear, weather by curiosity or acknowledgement that the girl won't leave without hearing anything his mouth muttered "What do you mean by too?"
Yukiko sheepishly smiled showing her own empty paper "I haven't figured out what I want either, some of my friends told me I should be a cop for the many bullying attempts I stopped but I don't think solving crimes is the same though."
"Fine let's figure it out together" Shinya offered.
Yukiko stared at him somewhat taken back "Really? Are you okay with that?"
Shinya sighed "Admittedly I was going to leave it empty but it won't work obviously."
Yukiko smiled chuckling lightly "Alright then let's figure it out together then, let's meet up at a café nearby after school."
"Sounds great" Shinya smiled a little.
(…)
In the confines of a dark room where only a white bulb served as the source of light the punks that fought Yukiko cowered n fear before the office where a hulking figure was seated covered in darkness only giving it's back to them "I told you fools to find worthy candidates not pick on civilians."
"Boss we're extremely sorry" the lead punk cried smashing his head unto the concrete "It's just that brat pissed me off-"
The figure raised it's fist smashing it into the nearby wall shattering it somewhat making the punk waver and stop mid-sentence "That's no excuse at all!" the figure bowelled in rage at the punk who only kept wavering "You must find a worthy candidate to stop Panther Risako's stagnation of the Wrestling world."
"There might be an alternative way" one of the punks said gaining the figure's interests making it turn around narrowing it's crimson eyes at him.
"Explain."
"Well that kid we beat up the reason big bro got angry at him is because he threw this at out turf" the punk gave the paper to the figure who undid the damage it's crimson eyes widening somewhat seeing Panther Risako along with her ex manager and a little boy.
The figure got it's bearing before it began to bellow in laughter "This's great perhaps that little brat is important enough for her to agree to a match with me."
