Answers of Identity


She looks up from the book she was reading as she heard the door to her abode slam open. She was sitting cross legged on a patch of grass, in her customary black and gold kimono, amid the sanctity of her zen garden. As the door slams shut she lets out a deep breath knowing that it could only be one person. With a faint sigh she closes her book and sets it aside to await what was come. No sooner than she had set the book on her lap then did the person in question walk into her sight. Upon seeing her the man opens his mouth to speak.

"WHAT IN THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING?"

There was no greeting or preamble to introduce the point. It was what she had come to expect from her guest and she had long since learned how to counter that attitude.

"I saw an opportunity and grabbed it. What else was I to do Miles?"

Her guest, now identified as Miles, sighs in frustration. He was a man of nondescript ethnicity and was wearing a black business suit.

"You could have waited until after the match Lu."

Miles runs his hand through his close cropped brown hair for a moment then lowers his hand with a sigh. As he  brings his hand down his hand becomes outstretched for a moment in a manner that reveal a tattoo of an Oriental dragon inside and as part of a closed circle. On the dragon's neck was a three sectioned yin-yang. His arm comes to to rest at his side.  


"I did what I felt needed to be done Miles. You KNEW a year ago when I started professional wrestling that this day was coming. I will make my statement with or without your help."

She glares up at Miles with an "I dare you to question me" look on her face. This causes Miles to shake his head slightly.

"Do you know that your stunt two weeks ago has caused Dad to call me to find out who you are? I have been able to stall him so far but I KNOW for a fact I am not the only person he asked. I can only hold him off for so long. I hope your costing him the Rising Phoenix Championship was worth it because you have started something that will only end when one of you is left broken in the ring."

"Do what you have to Miles. I did what I did and there is nothing to change that. So what if I got a bit impatient and jumped the gun? The end result is that I sent a message. If you aren't ready to continue this then get out of my face and let me do what I need to do."

There is a momentary silence as the both remember the night the first step of this plan had come into fruition.

Quote :

About ten minutes later a man and a women enter the casino's restaurant and stops for a minute. The reason for their stopping was the fact that they saw the man from earlier sitting in a corner booth wearing a suit and tie. Yet what was even more striking was that there were evidently half a dozen Chinese men and women sitting throughout the room. These men and women were seated in a manner that Thor could see was tactical as well as defensive. A closer look was enough to show Thor that each of the Chinese men and women were placed so as to keep the man in the booth in their sight. This only made the situation even more intriguing in that he still had no idea who the man was. They both watch as Nathaniel Grant who leads them to the be seated by the Maitre'd asks for their names Grant answers in a fluid and calm manner.

"My name is Nathaniel Grant and this is Paige Daimond. I am here to meet someone who goes by the initials MY."

The Maitre'd looks down and then back up with a frown before looking at Mr. Grant having seen a note in the scheduling book.

"If you will come with me I will show you to the rest of your party."

With that the Maitre'd leads the way directly towards the table where the mysterious man was seated. Upon approaching the man stand up and nods to the Maitre'd signalling he could go.

"A pleasure to meet you Mr. Grant and you as well Mrs. Daimond. I know you have some questions but please be seated and I will endeavor to do my best to explain. I also hope that you will forgive me the subterfuge from earlier in the evening. I had to meet you unofficially in a manner that would tell me more about who you really are as a person."

The man sits back and is joined by Thor and Paige as they look at him up close. A thoughtful expression was on Paige's lips as she got a closer look at the man. She wondered if Thor had noticed what she had or not but until he said something she would just let him control the direction of this meeting.

"I have yet to learn what this is all about so I have little understanding of the situation. The fact that you are obviously someone of great importance is evident in the fact that you have six bodyguards mingled throughout the crowd. Furthermore, I can see that you are man of intelligence and cunning having set up this meeting the way did. So if you would be so kind as to shed some light on this encounter I would be grateful."

"Mr. Grant it is refreshing to see that reports regarding your intelligence are not overrated. This will make explaining things so much easier. I have been watching you for quite some time Mr. Grant wondering if I should approaching you to arrange a business partnership. However, my interest in you has recently changed as you may have gathered from the pictures I gave I have an intimate knowledge at least one encounter from your past. My name is Miles Yamato, CEO of Yamato Mining and the Founder of Fucanglong Investment and Security. As you may have guessed from the pictures this talk to be more than about business. I was born in the middle of 1981, nine months after the picture in the bar was taken. My mother was in the States for one last fling before she moved to China for her marriage to Chen Yamato, who was the product of Chinese and Japanese interracial couple. He also happened to be the CEO of the Yamato Mining, which he had founded years earlier. I am sure you remember my mother, after all she was a Greek Afghani who had been the result of a more than interesting marriage. I am sure you can see the traces of that heritage in my future. However, as you may have gathered Chen was not my biological father, a fact that I only recently learned about."

Mr. Grant holds up a hand and looks Miles over in slowly as things start to click in his head. A sense of surreal expectation and dread descends upon Mr. Grant's face as he looks eyes with Miles. He had to ask a clarifying question before his suspicions were confirmed in his head.

"I appreciate the fact that you have chosen to share this information with me but I am not sure how this relates to me."

"I will make it all clear in a moment Mr. Grant. My mother was diagnosed with cervical cancer about seven years ago. Well sadly she passed away a few months back but not before she revealed something to me that has since led to this meeting. You see Chen Yamato died several years ago leaving me as the sole heir to the Yamato fortune so when mama pulled me aside on her deathbed for a shocking revelation I was shocked. She told me about the trip to the United States that she had taken the weeks before her move to China. Once she was done telling me this bit of information she showed me that picture of you sitting at that bar telling me me that she had taken it as a souvenir of a weekend spent in bliss.

A momentary pause descends over the group as a waiter approaches to take their drink orders after leaving them each a glass of water.

"I will tell you this Mr. Yamato I remember that weekend now and have to agree with your mother's assessment but I am not sure where stand in your being here. I have a suspicion but I am not sure."

"Well Mr. Grant I will be blunt with this and I will just come out and say this. My mother told me that Chen was not my biological father and that she knew who that man was. Mr. Grant you are that man and while many would question my motives in coming forward now I hope you can understand that I have been watching you for the last few months debating if I should tell you that I am your son or not. I would hope that we could get to know one another and not bemoan the fact that neither of us know about the other until recently. I know as well that both of us are busy men but I have arranged it so that I can stay in the United State for the next month during which I hope to be involved in your life in some fashion. I know that you are some big time wrestler and would like to be in attendance for your next few matches."

She smiles slightly as she slowly stand up. She could remember that night a year earlier when they had first met their father. She had been one of the guards sitting in that meeting and as such had been essentially invisible. Miles had been respectful of her wishes not to be introduced to their father. In fact, he even understood the way she wanted to make herself known to the family.

"You are going to have to explain yourself sooner rather than later Sis. I can't keep stalling father and you know it. I will give him a half truth when I talk to him next but know that I will have to come clean sooner or later. Be careful, because I can't protect you in father's world."

"Who said I need your help Miles?"

Miles sighs as he shakes his head as he looks his sister in the eye.

"You know how father can be in the ring when he feels he needs to send a message. He will make you pay for his loss against Blyss and you know it. I just don't want to see you left as a broken heap in that ring. I hope you fully understand what you have unleashed Lu."

"Thank you for the sentiment brother mine, but I know what I am doing. Now do you want to spar a bit?"

Miles smiles slightly knowing what his twin sister had in mind. Growing up they had been frequent sparring partners as they perfected their martial arts skills.

Fried Rice?

The next day we find Kyuubi standing the middle of an unidentified dojo. She was in her gold and black kimono and had a smile on her lips as he she looked over to where one of the other people in the dojo stood holding a video camera. Kyuubi nodded slightly as she crossed her arms monk style. After a moment she sees the red light that indicates that the camera had started to record.

"Why Kyuubi why? That is all I have been hearing since Battleground 76. Though the really question should be who? As in who am I and what stake did I have in that matchup? To which I have to say get in line and wait until I am good and ready to reveal my plans. Let me clarify something to all of you, I DON'T owe ANYONE anything. It will all become clear in the end when I am good and ready for it to. What I did to Sah'ta Thor last week was only the beginning and I intend to get my due."

Kyuubi stops speaking as she slowly licks her lips.

"Blyss I hope you realize that I AM the ONLY reason you won last week. I AM the reason you became the first Rising Phoenix Champion. It went better than we planned it, don't you say? I hope that you don't forget my role in your victory in the weeks to come. I know you have a date at Ragnarok but I will see you soon enough to ensure that my share of the spoils in collected. I hope you don't think I will let you forget that you OWE me for services I rendered. Trust me when I say that I will come to collect what I feel is mine."

Another pause occurs as Kyuubi slowly spreads her arms in a pantamime of a bird in flight.

"Now with that being said, I feel the need to turn my attention to the IWF management. You see I think it may be time to get some lawyers involved in regards to my booking. I find it to be an insult the way IWF seems to think that is okay to play up to cultural stereotypes. If you don't know what I mean then take a look at the the Battlegrounds 76 card. What the hell is a Parker Fried Rice match? Let me tell you, it is a play on the fact that I am from China and will be facing the great Parker Wayde. Do I mind the match itself, hell no because it will allow me to face off against a man who has proven himself to be an IWF great. He is one of the few IWF grandslam champions and frankly I will enjoy showing him what I am capable of in the ring. No my contention is with the Alex Dillinger management camp who seems to think the cash in on making race related jokes. Though to be fair it isn't even the joke itself that I take issue with but rather the implications."

Kyuubi smiles darkly for a moment before starting to giggle evilily.

"It just occurred to me that I should probably dumb this town to so that the morons out there watching this can understand what I am saying. IWF management seems to think that this match they booked me in will be one that is straightforward. By comparing me to fried rice, just because of where I from, shows that the IWF management has little faith that I can get the job done. For the rednecks out there watching this is, I would liken it someone saying you are a racist just because you are from the South. I admit that is a rough comparison but it the closest I can come at this time. So with that being said I hope the IWF management will make a point to be more aware of the message it is sending with its match labeling."

Kyuubi slowly crosses her arms once agains as she stands there smiling devilishly.

"Parker darling, I hope you don't think that am going to just roll over for you. If so you are going to be in for a shock. Management may not hold high hopes for my performance but let me tell you right now that I will do everything in my power to prove the wrong. They want to play this off as some squash match to keep the Grand Slammer in tune going into Ragnarok well I have my own statement to make. You see Parker I am not afraid of you and I look forward to taking someone down with you supposed star power. All it will take is one Oni Drop and the match will be mine. DOn't think for one minute that I am scared of that little group you have pulled together either Parker. if you eVolved is going to save you from from the Demon Fox then I hope you are prepared for a rude awakening. In Phoenix you will see first hand why I am here. You will learn first hand what it means to cross my path."

With the Kyuubi turns and walks away from the camera with self assured stride. No matter what she would send a message at Battlegrounds. It would be a message felt going into the Path to Valhalla match at Ragnarok and far beyond.
