Yunaka Rubi couldn't help but let out a dry, resigned laugh at the fittingness of this being a cage match, because damn did she feel trapped. Emmaline Beaumont, professional detective, had now signed up with LAW. Her debut match? Against Yunaka, a woman who had spent most of her entire childhood as the secret weapon of a criminal gang. She had her first kill before her first period, the streets Yunaka grew up on feared her, there was no way this was a coincidence.
Yunaka was finally building her new life. Away from violence, away from gangs, away from the streets. She'd only ever killed to survive, to eat, to be useful enough that she'd be welcomed back under the roof that kept her warm and dry. But she'd still committed enough murders to be put away for the rest of her life. Maybe she could get lucky through her circumstances, and because she hadn't taken a life since she came of legal age, but Yunaka sure as hell wasn't planning to bet on that if she could help it.
Yunaka had enough time between being given this card and now that she was able to think rationally about her situation. Firstly, as much as her initial reaction was to refuse the match, she couldn't. Refusing this match would immediately be suspicious to the detective. Second was that as it stood, there was not currently enough to actually prosecute Yunaka, or else she would already be arrested, rather than being put through this farce of a wrestling match.
The third, and most important thing Yunaka realized once she thought through her situation, was that Emmaline was a private detective. She was not directly affiliated with actual law enforcement. Yunaka was faced with a rookie PI looking for her big break by taking down a notorious former gang enforcer. Yunaka became much calmer once she realized that. Emmaline went from the probable end of her free life to something she could handle.
Yunaka's plan was two-pronged, with both sides being very simple. Yunaka would come at Emma with no flash or showmanship. Only efficient, pure combat that represented the full extent of Yunaka's abilities with the intent to crush Emmaline as fast as possible. If that worked, Yunaka would use the entire half hour that she had making Emmaline fear her. Break and submit her, body and mind, until the detective was too afraid of Yunaka to keep digging after her. If that failed, if Emmaline proved a fighter that Yunaka couldn't defeat, then Yunaka would spend those thirty minutes making herself appear as weak and pathetic as possible. Her reputation as it stood was irrelevant. If Yunaka had to throw Emmaline off by convincing her that she was too soft and cowardly to be the cold-blooded killer she was looking for, then Yunaka would do it without a second thought.
