Thread: Bride of Kane (LadyAthene & Bibliomania)

Akane Imatsu Five hours, give or take. That was how long Akane had before filming would begin and the wrestling would begin. Most people didn't know nor tried to guess these fights were filmed earlier in the day and purposely shown later on. It was one of the first 'secrets' she had learned first hand, something that had intrigued her greatly. Green eyes flipped hastily through her day planner, finally finding the August 1st, 2005 tab and looking for her 1 o'clock client. .... That's right. Today must be one of those days where Irony had a funny way of showing up. Because, according to this, it should be Lita knocking soon enough. Well, while she had time, Akane began gathering everything that would be needed. Her file, a notepad, pen .... annnnd that should be most of it. Thanks to being organized - to a fault, some had argued - Akane had both paper and electronic version files of any wrestler who saw her. Akane barely finished pulling the one on her laptop up before the knock she had been waiting for caused her to turn her head. Doc? It's me, Lita. Please. Do come on in. The red-head cautiously opened her door, glancing nervously from side to side. The anxious expression already give Akane a hint as to why it was there. But she didn't ask about it until Lita shut the door and sat down in the chair across from her. Did you stumble across that parking lot incident? Akane inquired, pushing down on her pen and beginning to jot down notes. Y-Yeah. Akane's lips pursed as she gathered her words, making sure to be careful in their selection. What exactly is it you're scared of as far as Kane goes? Like ... do you think he'll seek you out again? I ... Lita frowned, Akane noting how quickly her body visibly tensed up. It's ... everything, I suppose. The abductions, the forced situations, all of it. Have you ever had anyone try to force them to love you in such a stalkery way? Akane gently moved her head from side to side, The few times I did ever allow myself to go on dates, they never turned into anything serious. Lita scoffed .... and then sighed. I ... kinda envy you. Way smarter than me. The reply was mumbled, likely intentionally so only the Asian could hear her answer. Akane sheepishly grinned, knowing her own confession sounded ... lame, more likely than not. I don't know if I'd call it that, but .... anyway. Has Edge been able to help you out with any of this trauma? Now Lita took her own time to give the same back and forth gesture with her head. Hmph. If anything, he's ... been distant since Kane intervened with our marriage. Matt wouldn't be a coward! He'd do anything he could to protect me! Do you miss Matt Hardy? I .... I guess so. Litat wouldn't notice until she comprehended her vision had gotten blurry all of a sudden, but a new set off tears formed and had begun streaming down her face. Akane flashed the red-head a small smile and offered a tissue box to the wrestler. Thank you, she whispered, accepting it and beginning to wipe the tears away. Well .... have you spoken to Vince yet? Maybe a vacation to clear your head would do you some good. I'm sure a break from all this scripted drama would really -- Whoa! Excuse me?! Akane blinked, not having expected Lita to react in such a harsh way. Did I say something? Scripted ?! Do you think everything you see is fake?! No, no. I didn't mean it that way. Goodness, I know that's not always the case. I've treated enough of the roster - namely superstars - to know the injuries can be real. But ... am I wrong with assuming the arc between you all was planned? A cold glare entered Lita's eyes as she slowly stood up. Maybe you should see for yourself. It'd be the easiest way to dispel any illusions. I'm sorry. I'm gonna go now. Do what you want with the remaining time. W-Wait! Lita! I didn't mean -- !! SLAM! Akane sighed as her door roughly opened and shut. Oh wonderful that went beautifully , she murmured, sighing as she rose a hand and ran it slowly through her onyx locks. Yet another look gave away she now had twenty minutes to spare and now idea how to use the remaining time. Maybe you should see for yourself. It'd be the easiest way to dispel any illusions. ... She had a point. But ... even that made Akane scoff. She had never really been much of a fighter. She couldn't simply join the roster overnight. However ... doing some research? Why not? It wouldn't kill her, and she had been struggling mere moments ago on determining how to pass the time. So, after some contemplating and hesitation, Akane set the notepad down and pulled up an internet tab.
