An Unwanted Rival

[Fairy Dragon]

Kyoko was not in the mood to deal with anyone to day, and that was saying something since she was generally not someone who was deemed approachable anymore. If it wasnt for the fact she felt she had to stay in shape she would have just stayed at home and not dealt with anyone at all but the fact of the matter was Kyoko needed to train now more then ever, nothing would feel right until she was properly in control again but without her belt and without any title contentions in mind it was hard to claim you were the best. And if Kyoko wasnt the best in LAW then what was the point?

She hated the feeling of being inferior she had spent so long proving herself on top of it all, she couldnt let herself be seen as some women on the decline when she should be a star on the rise. Kyoko worked herself almost every day until she was sore and this day she strived to be no different, she would try and push herself more and more, currently just lifting dumbells which wasnt he most strenuous of work but still helped her overall.

A girl that Kyoko had once crossed paths with drew near. She headed down the halls, exhaling slowly to herself. The last few days had been a whirlwind of excitement and embarrassment. A 15-girl fight, a tag match, a couple of new friends, and a girl to aspire to become better than.

The twin-tailed girl had her hands folded behind her head as she took a moment to reflect on it all. Then she smiles to herself. Maybe it wasn't going exactly how she pictured it would go, but if she said she hadn't been having fun all the way along, she'd be a horrible liar. Her smile turns bigger before she picks up the pace, and jogs towards the gym.

She pushed open the heavy metal doors, which... she noticed were heavier than they normally were for some reason. It was a test! She digs her feet in, and forces the door open. She didn't think for a second that maybe they were heavier to keep other people out. Why would it? It was workout time for her! Nothing would stop THAT.

She was already geared up in her gym attire, which also served as her ring attire. She pushes the door open and steps in.

"Hoo... that was a nice start!" She says to herself once she's inside, and looks along the exercise machines. Her first choice? Crunches, of course! She jogs over to the crunch machine, and sets herself up in it. Having a strong, unbeatable core was the most important thing! She starts to begin her reps on the machine, setting the machine at 80 lbs while she starts counting her reps.

"1....2....3...." She counts. She either didn't see, or was maybe too pre-occupied with her own workout to notice, that the first woman she had clashed with was only feet away from her while she counted.

[Fairy Dragon]

Kyoko was hard at work, still working on dumbells and finishing a set while counting to herself how many she did. Her mind was so focused she didnt seem to notice someone had gotten close to her until they were already deep in there crutches until finally Kyoko finished her set. Wanting to go to something else she put the dumbells down and turned before finally seeing the girl who had gotten close to her, and immediately her eyes flared up. It was Hayley!

"The fuck..." She muttered, not out of fear but annoyance and anger. Last time they fought Kyoko had soundly beat Hayley in what was apprently her debut match but that was before the women actually cheated to look like she tied with her in a punch off and then had the gall to claim she was her rival. The women annoyed her to no end and Kyoko wanted nothing to do with her, looking around Kyoko tried to step away hoping she didnt notice her.

"7...8..." She continued counting to herself. She would've kept going, but then she heard someone's voice in the room. She looked to her left, and was surprised at who she saw!

"Hey, it's you!" She exclaimed, and scoots herself to the left to hop off the machine, and steps towards her. Kyoko may not remember her fondly, but for Hayley, she had made a really strong impression on her. Literally, and metaphorically! She hadn't come across anyone who boasted a core as strong as hers before. Maybe even a little stronger, if she was to be completely honest with herself. She was so tough, and knew so many moves, she could tell that she had been doing this for a while. That's why she's made it her goal to surpass her, one day.

"You're working out at the same time I am? That's great! Maybe we could take turns spotting each other or something! I made a new friend since we last fought! She's super nice, and she's teaching me moves too! I think the manager here got the song I want set up too. Can't draw fans without a super awesome entrance to the ring, right? Right! Oh oh! I also got signed up for a 15-girl battle royal! I'm gonna kick butt so hard there! I hope you'll watch me!"

Hayley seemed to have an endless well of stories for Kyoko, and didn't really seem to give her any time to really intervene. She didn't seem to pick up on social cues very well. Or maybe she just didn't notice how irritable Kyoko was at the time.

[Fairy Dragon]

Kyoko only got a few feet before Hayley just magically looked her way and was on her before she could blink. Talking nonsense that Kyoko could scarcely understand and it made her way to literally teleport away from this nonsense. She just kept talking and talking like they were friends and they were decisively not anything of the like.

"What are you even...15 battle...What! Shut up, Shut up! For the love...of I can barley hear myself think with what your constantly yaking!" Kyoko shouts shaking her head in annoyance like she had a headache. Hoping to hear an end to the madness soon enough sos he could hear herself think.

[BlueResonance]

Hayley thought she'd like to hear how far she came along in such little time, but when she tells her to shut up, she stops talking and takes a step back.

"Er... sorry.. um... rough night?" She tried to guess, only NOW noticing Kyoko's irritable state.

[Fairy Dragon]

For once it seemed the women was clued in on how things really were but instead of realizing her part in it she seemed to assume it was a rough patch she was in. And granted there was a lot going on in her life, most of which was decidedly unpleasant but that was hardly the root cause of her anger at the time. Maybe she needed to be even more blunt.

"Rough night? You think this is a concealed incident. You literally just bombarded me with questions im working out, what happened in our match that made that seem okay. I made your ass a bloody bootprint and you declared that you were coming for me. What exactly did you expect." Kyoko said staring the brunette down.
