Old Friends. New Enemies (For Dokki)

[Teenwrestler]

Daisuke ' the wrestling prince' Takeuchi found himself once again the LAW gym. Lately, he had been in and out of the LAW gym as he found the place to be quite to his liking. Not only did he find a couple of interesting personalities here in the LAW roster but also it was a nice change of pace to his regular wrestling gym. He was in the locker room area, having just stepped out of the shower to take a nice long pre-work out shower. The wrestling prince stretched his arms as he dried his hair off before putting on his wrestling attire.

Daisuke

It may feel a little off to put on a wrestling attire during a gym work-out but Daisuke wanted to tell the others in the gym that he was no gym-goer but a proper pro wrestler from another promotion and he was only waiting for LAW to start its own division where males would be allowed to wrestle but until then he simply hung around and enjoyed the state of the art training facilities. He put on a pair of black wrestling boots before heading out to the gym hall, a gym bag hanging over his shoulder. The gym was rather quiet, much to his disappointment. Not much people around, the gym rings were empty but there were a couple of people doing there nothing. "Hmm, well I guess I better start my own thing" he said with a shrug of the shoulder. Just then the wrestling prince saw someone very familiar, he noticed someone that he swore he knew "Hey wait....isn't that....".

[Dokki]

Rin’s leg whacked against the side of a punching bag with enough force to cause it to swing back and forth despite its weight. The inheritor of a large fortune and up-incoming wrestler had been training intensely for the the pas few days in preparation for her next match.

Sportswear

She wiped the sweat from her forehead with a small towel before taking a swig from her water bottle. Some of the cool water would run down her chin and drip onto her chest. Rin glanced up and noticed a man staring at her. The proud Oujo wiped her mouth and scowled at her admirer who was shirtless and clad in wrestling attire.

”Ehhh, can I help you?” Rin asked with a raised eyebrow.

[Teenwrestler]

Daisuke stopped to notice the woman clad in her sports bra an cheeky gym briefs, she was focused and determined as she went through her training regime. Every kick to the punching bag send it further back, the intensity she had even in training was one to admire. At first, one could pass this as Daisuke being perverted or just admiring a fellow wrestler being so focused in training but the reason why Daisuke stopped and stared at the woman was because he swore he saw her before, somewhere.

Daisuke rubbed his chin, then suddenly it hit him. She was Tohsaka, Rin! Her family owned the renowned Tohsaka Wrestling Organization and Daisuke's father was quite close to the family, sharing inner circles in the high end department. Daisuke met Rin a couple of times in some gatherings and eventually they were part of the same school as well for a couple of years. There was no doubt, she was the same girl that Daisuke knew during his early childhood till his young teens.

Rin had grown up to be quite a beautiful woman, he always knew she would carry on her family tradition in the wrestling business and he did the same, carrying out his fathers legacy in pro wrestling. Somehow, he never thought he would meet Rin like this ever again. "You'uuuure....Rin Tohsaka? Wow....it's been too long"he said with a smirk as he approached her. "You've changed so much, damn! For the better too~ It's me....Daisuke Takeuchi" he said, offering her a friendly hug.

[Dokki]

Rin’s eyes narrowed and she stroked her chin as she thought. “Daisuke... Daisuke Takeuchi...” Rin’s eyes narrowed and then they shot wide open. “Daisuke!”

She suddenly recalled the son of one of her father's associates whom she attended school with. Rin looked him over again. She recalled him being active in the schools sports clubs but she was certain he had never looked quite like this!

Once Daisuke had finished dispensing with pleasantries he moved in for a hug. Rin awkward put up her hands trying to stop him while also trying her best not to touch his bare chest. “Wh-Why don’t you put on a shirt first.” Rin would suggest as she tried to not seem rude by outright denying her former classmate a hug. “It is good to see you again, Daisuke!” She added quickly.

[Teenwrestler]

Daisuke was slightly disappointed she didn't recognize him right away, the two families had an association for a bit and their fathers were quite closely connected to each other and while it had been a long time since they were in school together, he at least expected her to remember him straight away. It some thoughts but daughter of the Tohsaka family did recognize her past with Daisuke, making him smile as he resumed to approach her for a hug.

He stopped as he watched her arms raise up, he raised his eyebrow with a frown before looking down towards his upper body "Ah! Ah-haha still the shy Rinnie eh? I get it" he would smirk as he would raise his hands up in the air. "But yeah it's great to see you, it's been too long. I never would have imagined I'd meet you in a wrestling gym." he would say continuing his small talk. He would then extend his hand for a handshake, hoping this would be more appropriate for the heiress to the Tohsaka Wrestling Federation. "Man look at you, looking all beautiful and athletic, you've really done some work at the gym huh? That would explain why you're sweating a lot" he would chuckle. "What brings you here anyways"he would ask, trying to find the real reason why she was here.

[Dokki]

Rin was relieved that Daisuke hadn’t seemed to have taken offense at her denying his hug. He cheerfully went on to cheerfully call Rin, “Rinnie”. The heiress would cringe internally. She had forgotten about that pet name from high school and really wished it would have stayed forgotten.

Daisuke extended his hand for a friendly shake and Rin would oblige him, placing her sweaty hand in his and giving it a firm shake. She would shake his hand until he commented on her looks at which point she would withdraw her hand as her cheeks flushed slightly.

“Y-Yeah... well.” Rin would stammer as she tried to collect her thoughts. ”Well, as you know, my family has been in the pro wrestling business for many years and I suppose you could say I’m carrying on their legacy. The only difference is that instead of going into management... I became a... participant.”

It was an odd thing to explain. This was the first time she had run into someone who knew her from before she became a wrestler. It would surly come as a surprise to anyone who knew the refined and studious Rin of the past. Despite her discomfort, Rin saw no reason to lie. She had nothing to be ashamed of. She was determined to become the top wrestler in LAW and there was nothing anyone could do or say that could change that.

[Teenwrestler]

Daisuke noticed she didn't seem too visibly happy with the Rinnie comment but it was more him out of habit calling her that, since it was so frequently used back in their school days. He remembered Rin was one of the more smarter girls, not just a book worm but very active in the schools sporting clubs and student councils. He always figured that she would make a great promoter when she would eventually go into management but to see her training in the gym like this, certainly piqued his interest. Instead of the hug, they shook hands and the two seemed quite happy with it. However, she would quickly retract her hand back once he complimented her beautiful looks, perhaps she was still the same tsundre tomboy he knew after all.

Daisuke would raise his eyebrow and chuckle a bit, "Hehe, really? Wow....I never would have expected you to actually be a wrestler. I always thought you'd go into the business as management." he said as he stood in front of her, quite relaxed. "I mean I can see you've been training and kept yourself in good shape. But....."he said, gently brushing some stray strands of her hair back behind her ear. "I've known you since a long time, Rin. You really sure you're cut out for actually competing in the ring? he said, sounding rather condescending but he meant well knowing how her family was in management but yet she chose to compete.

[Dokki]

Rin tensed up as her former classmate began to brush her hair. The young heiress' would grit her teeth and face would turn red before she slapped Daisuke's hand away from her head. ”Of course I’m cut out to be a wrestler!” Rin would shout no longer putting on a facade of courtesy. ”What do you know about me? All you know is the girl from high school, don’t pretend you know the person I’ve become!”

Rin had always been short tempered and this man's tone was really make her blood boil. If Daisuke didn’t watch his mouth he would be in for a date with Rin's fist.

[Teenwrestler]

Coming from a posh background himself, Daisuke knew a thing about pride and family tradition as well. He knew his tone was condescending and that Rin would probably take it the wrong way, seeing how short temper she always had been. Daisuke was not the timid type as well, he was quite the arrogant wrestler and had even given himself the title of 'the wrestling prince' to cap off his self gratification. When Daisuke saw Rin for the first time in years, he didn't expect their conversation to become this heated.

He raised his eyebrow as she slapped his hand away, looking visibly annoyed. "Hmph, relax..." he would say in a serious tone as he rolled his shoulders. "The person you have become huh? You're still the same Rinnie.....don't pretend you have become someone else. You think by becoming a wrestler you're some hotshot now? Just because you're the rebel in your family by becoming a wrestler instead of management you think you're entitled?" he said with his teeth gritted.

The former friends would now engaged in a heated spat. Daisuke would step up to her, face to face in a wrestler's stareown. He would press up to her, touching her nose with his as he would glare into her eyes for a intense staredown. "You're not a wrestler." he would say, feeling her sweaty skin against his. "Prove me wrong...I challenge you to a one on one wrestling match, right here......right now...."

[Dokki]

Rin refused to relax and Daisuke telling her to only agitated her more. It seemed that Daisuke was also becoming a bit upset. Rin knew it was because of her attitude but figured it was his fault for being an idiot.

Daisuke moved closer and continued chastising Rin and relegating the time and effort she had put into training to nothing more than a rebellious act, as if she were some angsty schoolgirl! Rin clenched her fist when the dumb-ass before her brought up entitlement. Rin had worked hard to get where she was, she had earned everything she had achieved and was proud of that fact.

Daisuke stepped forward until he was nose to nose with Rin. The Oujo tensed up and her cheeks flushed but she refused to back down, glaring back at Daisuke with eyes that could cut. Daisuke went on and said it. "You're not a wrestler." Rin's arm twitched. Never had she wanted to punch someones lights out as much as she did now but amazingly she managed to show great restraint. Then Daisuke did something surprising. He challenged Rin to a wrestling match.

"I would love nothing more than to put you in your place, Daisuke." Rin said from behind barred teeth. "And don't you dare go easy. I would hate to make an even bigger fool of you than I already am."
