Sheena and Yoko

[Bare]

Sheena huffed and grunted slightly as she lifted the barbell over her head and sat it down on its resting place before sitting up and taking a few breaths herself. Dressed in her rather basic purple training gear and black tennis shoes (imagine that instead of the boots in the picture), a layer of sweat glossing her figure and causing it to shine a bit from the light as a result of her workout and how long it had gone on. So long Sheena noted as she looked around, that almost everyone was gone from the gym. "Damn.. longer than I expected." Sheena said to herself in surprise before turning as she heard something. 'Is that...' Sheena thought to herself, noticing a strike red ponytail not far away, beating on a punching bag with impeccable form and in turn meaning it was almost definitely someone Sheena knew. 'Can't be... and at the place we've met..' Sheena thought to herself in amazement if it was indeed the person she thought it was, Yoko. The girl was part of her cousins's stable and Sheena was familiar with her, though not exactly. Still the times they had interacted were friendly enough, but not so much that Sheena felt she should interrupt the red head's training at such a hour. Really... she wasn't sure what to do cause even with her confidence having been built up so much over the last year she didn't know if she quite felt ready to introduce and get to know one of Kyoko's friends and teammates in such an impromptu way.

Yoko let out a hiss each time she unloaded into the bag with a hidden desire to train her punches to the point Kyoko's belly could not withstand them. She felt pissed off at how Kyoko treated her at PoW and was meaning to return the favour someday. It wasn't hatred, but Yoko was itching for a chance for payback. Yoko was also pissed off at herself as Kyoko managed to make her actually submit, something Yoko thought she'd never do and of course it was caused by attacks to her belly.
It was normal for the redhead to spend most of the day in the gym, trying to keep in great shape at all times and today was no different, except maybe for more contemplating while she's at it.

Yoko looked around and noticed that everybody has left. 'I guess i'll go in a moment, too...' Yoko thought to herself. Now that Yoko paid a little more attention to her surroundings, she heard grunts that were not her own. Yoko looked around again and noticed a purple haired woman, with a very fit body, working hard. For some reason, only one name came to Yoko's mind - Kyoko Akan. Yoko stopped her punches, turned towards the woman and asked across the gym, which could easily be heard since no one else was there. ''Kyoko?!'' A bit shocked for a moment to see her here, Yoko was walking towards the woman until they'd be face to face. Yoko was in for a surprise.

Turning away from the red head shortly after noticing her Sheena was content to finish her workout in silence, if making a passing greeting to her at most. But it turns out that it didn't matter since the red head instead had taken notice of her and unlike Sheena had no qualms with coming over... Though that may be because Yoko had mistook Sheena for her cousin. "Uh... No! We have met before though." She called back across the gym towards the woman before sucking a breath in and making her way to where Yoko was, figuring getting closer to her was better than yelling across the room. "Sheena Akan. Kyoko's cousin if you remember." Sheena said as she approached and held her hand out to Yoko once she was across from her.

[ragaz]

As she was getting near her target, Yoko realised that this woman wasn't Kyoko... "Huh..?" Yoko was getting increasingly confused as this woman definitely looked familiar, but she just couldn't quite put her finger on it. Plus she was getting flustered by having mistaken someone for someone else.
"S-sorry... I mistook you for someone..." Then before Yoko could finish her sentence, Sheena introduced herself and it immediately clicked for Yoko. "...Else..." Yoko added awkwardly.

Yoko was then crushed by a proverbial landslide of embarrassment as well as feeling like a horrible person for this. So much so that she didn't even notice Sheena extending her hand for a handshake. Instead, Yoko facepalmed so hard from shame and began apologizing. "Oh god I'm so sorry... I really didn't mean to... Oh god... You looked familiar, but I just couldn't... Yes, I do remember you, just to clarify... Oh man..."

Yeah just as Sheena had expected this was awkward as hell. It had been so long and they hardly knew each other, and this was so random, of course it would be. Honestly in a selfish way she was just glad that it hadn't been her to have made it so. Regardless though Yoko clearly felt bad for mistaking her with her cousin and Sheena was quick to try and placate the red head's concerns, taking her extended hand up to gently grip the woman's shoulder.

"Yoko its quite alright really. It's happened before, just most people don't realize we're related." Sheena said along with a small laugh to try and defuse things a bit and put Yoko at ease just a bit before pulling her hand back. "But for what its worth, it is nice to see you again." Sheena said with a small smile, hoping that worked in calming the situation a bit, especially since what she said wasn't untrue.

[ragaz]

"right... Okay..." It took a bit of time, but Sheena's efforts to normalize the situation worked, kinda... Well, more like making Yoko realize that her own reaction was making things more awkward than the mistake itself and she started calming herself down.
"Wait... I'm not the only one to mistake you like that? That's a relief..." And then she realized. "Wait, no... I mean that's... Silly. Of them! Silly of them! And me too..."
Yoko's face went through a bunch of expressions in quick succession before she tries to make it look like that bit never happened.
"So anyway... I can't help but notice... Your attire. Remember the last time we were here? We had a little spar, you were clothed from head to toe... Did something happen, Sheena? You seem to be working hard... You're doing this with a purpose, a goal in mind, I can tell..."
Yoko could tell, because she saw that in herself as well and Sheena was giving off the same energy as well as training until everyone has left is pretty obvious...
And then subconsciously, Yoko's mind drifted down to Sheena's midriff.
"Heh, so that's what you were hiding under those clothes, huh?" Yoko jested before giving Sheena's tummy a little love tap.

Thankfully it seemed that Sheena's attempt at placating Yoko had worked and things felt just a bit less awkward now, for which Sheena was rather grateful since it made this conversation just a bit easier. "It's really ok Yoko, me and my cousin look a like, its natural, if our hair shades were any closer we'd almost pass for twins so it's alright." Sheena said light heartedly before listening to what Yoko said and getting reminded of just how much time had passed since they last met and chuckled a bit as Yoko talked about the difference between now and then. The red head wasn't wrong either, a lot had changed in Sheena, both physically and in personality due to her tenure in LAW, which she supposed Yoko hadn't gotten caught up on yet.

"Hehe yeah, Akan genetics I suppose, but I still used to be self conscious about my body." Sheena said sheepishly before smiling slyly. "You have a nice tummy too though, guess I can attribute that to being on Kyoko's team?" Sheena said jokingly whilee giving a pat to Yoko's stomach in return before stepping back lightly with a more down to earth smile as she continued. "I've gotten a lot more comfortable in my body since then though, and I've improved as well since that spar. A side effect of being in LAW I suppose." Sheena said impishly knowing that was a bit of a bombshell to drop, which is why it would be interesting to see the red head's reaction.

[ragaz]

Once Yoko had calmed down from her blunder, the two women began a proper conversation. Yoko was wondering whether Sheena developed a bit of sass or was this some innocent naivety as her words playfully annoyed Yoko, like praising the her rival's gene pool, then attributing Yoko's physique to being on Kyoko's team.
''Hey! Kyoko's got nothing to do with it... It's all me, hard work and concentrated power of will...'' Yoko pouted, jokingly referencing a song before letting Sheena continue. Yoko was nodding as she was taking in that information and since Sheena was so nonchalant about it, it took Yoko a few moments to actually have her light bulb light up.
''Heh, LAW usually does... Wait, what did you just say..?
PAUSE.
''oh... Hmm, suddenly, everything makes a lot more sense...''

And yet, this raised more questions than it gave answers...
''Wait a second... I haven't seen or heard of Sheena Akan in any matches and i check all things Akan, don't ask me why, though...
How long have you been in LAW? Are those bastards not giving you any matches?''

Sheena chuckled softly not expecting Yoko to take any offense to her saying Kyoko may have had something to do with the state of her abs but Yoko clearly meant her response in jest so Sheena waved her off. As she continued to speak though she noticed Yoko not quite 'get it' not until a few seconds passed before things clicked, at which point Sheena had to suppress another chuckle. "Well It'll be just under... two years now I think, but I wouldn't blame you for not knowing and its not cause I haven't been booked. You see, my father doesn't like the idea of me wrestling, so I wrestle under a stage name, so perhaps you've heard of Wisteria Khan?" Sheen explained before ending with a question towards the woman. to help things make sense.

[ragaz]

As Sheena was explaining what's been going on with her for the past couple years, things started falling into place for Yoko. When Sheena mentioned Wisteria, it took a few seconds for Yoko as she was roaming her memory and eventually she remembered that name written as Yoko was scrolling through the middleweight roster, she also has heard that name mentioned in a match title or two, but hasn't watched those matches, which lead to Yoko wanting to do something specific today...
''Wisteria, huh..? I've heard that name somewhere, but i haven't seen her in action, so i wonder... Maybe you could help me with that..?'' Yoko would reply with a bit of slyness. She was curious just how much has Sheena changed over all this time. In the back of her mind Yoko hoped that LAW didn't make Sheen's head float into the clouds like her cousin she knew...
