Personal Blog 11/20/14 – 4:48pm
It's been a trying two and a half weeks since the last LAW event. Hell it was trying just before that with the "sex tape" of my sister Kymiku and that dirtbag Kreese. I promised her that I would her take care of it herself but you don't know how much it pains me to watch as she tries to deal with these inner demons of her own. I've seen and been on the receiving end of her dark side and that is one reason I want to help her through it She insists though that I take care of myself first and concentrate on the Marquee title match this weekend.
It would be one thing if she was the only person who was telling me this but as it stands, I have all of CTN pushing me to focus on this fight. Weird how this same company is the one that allowed this video of Kymiku to get out in the public and yet want me to focus on bring gold to it's doors so they have someone they can stand behind as they try to make their mark on another federation.
Of course 2 weeks ago I almost blew that by clocking Comacho at the conclusion of our tag match with said Marquee title. To this day I still regret the actions I took and as I said and as it has been pointed out to me I have no excuse for doing it. I'm sure there are many who would blame the scandal their sibling was in 2ould be a valid reason to lose one's mind even for the briefest of seconds. Im sure there are others who would say it was justified since Taylor and Comacho were the ones who jumped us at match outset in the first place catching us off guard and setting the tone of the match. But I am not hiding behind any of those or any other excuses. I own up to what I did and have apologized about it, I'm still waiting to see if Gabriella accepts or not which I hope she does so we can face each other this weekend with no bad blood between us since we both have proven in the past to have each others back when need be.
As for her tag partner Evelyn Taylor, I'm finding it harder and harder to respect a woman who looks at a person’s one bad judgment and label them as bad despite everything else they have done in the past. I'm not claiming to be a saint, far from it. If it's one thing the Shinsuzuki clan is the furthest thing from sainthood. But I have always lived by a code of honor. Yes I fucked up and trying to atone for my actions but don't forget who supported you in your crusade against Sidney Grey, who called you a worthy winner of the QoTR and not bitch once for losing to the better person. Who has time and time again helped when I could and only faced down those who threatened the ones they love. I have never once disrespected an opponent unless they made the first move to do so to me and again if I had I make it my mission to repay them and ask for forgiveness for my wrong doing.. But since you are so high and mighty and can't for even a second entertain the thought that someone is truthful when they say they fucked up and sorry for i then I don't want your respect. I'm better without it.
Comacho on the other hand is a person I hope I still have the respect of. Like I said I hope we can move past what I have done and meet in the ring as competitors and not enemies. If there is something I need to do to prove to her I regret what I did then she need only ask. I do ask her though to not let the likes of a Evelyn Taylor speak for her or poison her mind. I have proven to her in the past what kind of person I am and who I want to continue to be. In the ring I let everything hang out, I am relentless and keep going until I can't anymore, but I am not one to take the path of least resistance just to get a win. You see how unhappy I’m about my first victory in LAW as I’m not a big fan on how we won our last tag match. But in the record books they will count as wins and we have to live with it. It’s how we deal with it and try to be better after the fact that decides on how things will go on afterward.
As I’ve stated. I want nothing more than an intense and brutal match with Comacho for the Marquee title. I’m not calling for underhanded tricks, or belt shots, or any other cheap moves, but just raw talent against talent. I’ve seen what Gabriella can do in the ring and have been impressed by it and love to see how she bounces back from a setback. I hope she does the same this weekend. Difference is I plan on still making it a loss in her column because as impressive as she is, I’m sure she knows I’m that good also. Before the unfortunate events at the end of the match, she saw what Iam capable of first hand. Wait until this weekend and what you saw then will pail in comparison.
You will walk in as the Marquee Champion, bur I plan on being the one walking out as the new crowned champ.

“You can’t lose….”
“I can’t lose focus. I know. It’s the same song and dance since the day I’ve entered LAW. Don’t you get tired of repeating the same tired old line? I’m sure tired of hearing you say it.” Nyako said.
She sat on her couch watching her agent Syn try to get her pumped for the title match. It wasn’t that Nyako wasn’t excited, and geeked about it, it was just that as usual other things seemed to creep into her life that lent itself to distraction for her.
“You know if you tell your bosses in CTN to not come out with every piece of trash, rumor and gossip they get their hands on. Maybe I could be more ‘focused’ on the things you all want me to ‘focus’ on.”
Syn wanted to argue wit the comment made by Nyako but honestly she thought the same thing herself. Yeah it seemed to be the CTN business motto ‘Adversity Builds Success’ and Nyako was succeeding no matter what was being thrown at her but even still, they couldn’t have held on to this story until after her title match? Maybe it was in one of the hire ups mind if Nyako wants to shift the focus off of her sister’s after hour activities, she’d bust her ass to win the belt and grab the spotlight and shine it on her instead of what was going on with her sister. Of course knowing CTN also they still spin both together and probably link them some how.
Syn knew the game, she had played it time and time again in the past, she even was apart of it now, since she did know before it leaked about Oni’s tryst, but held silent on it. She tried to tell herself t was better if she played dumb on the matter as if not to let Nyako know and be the sounding board she needed. But really what it was the fact syn knew her star was fading and didn’t want to let go of her possible last gasp. It probably would have happened that way if she told Nyako after finding out. Nyako would have quit on the spot and probably packed herself up and her sister Oni, possibly SoLo too. She was a proud and stubborn person like that. It was part of the reason she brought her in to CTN in the first place. But it also proved to be incompatible to how things ran at times also. Honestly she was surprised Nyako didn’t up and quit in the first place even after still finding out. She heard that Nyako wanted to cancel the tag match against Taylor and Comacho so she and Oni could deal with the matter, but Oni insisted on going through with it anyway. As much trouble as her sister seemed to cause she had a way to get Nyako to see reason.
“Just ignore it for now Nyako. What’s done is done. Here is no putting that back in Pandora’s box. The only thing left to do is ride out the storm and hope it blows over. I’m sure CTN will lose interest in this thing with Oni sooner or later., but if you want to make sure they do then the best wqay to do it is to win the Marquee title come Sunday. You become the first champion CTN has in LAW and this whole mess about Oni will be an afterthought. I’m sure she feels the same way.”
Nyako thought about the conversation she had with her sister earlier in the week when she told Nyako everything that happened. Nyako wanted to bust a few heads after hearing the details, namely the shrink Oni was seeing and the piece of trash Kreese Oni had hooked up with. Oni though made Nyako promise to let her handle the whole situation herself. She wanted Nyako to think about facing Comacho. Not worrying about her. Unlike Oni of the past, Nyako’s sister seemed to genuinely want what was best for her bigger sister. That made Nyako feel even more like she should do more to help her sister out, but after making the promise she knew facing Comacho was the only thing she could do in the meanwhile. Still it ate at her inside.
“Yeah, yeah. Oni wants me to deal with Comacho. Easier said than done. Though.” Nyako slumped on the couch.
The tag match replayed in hr mind as she watched herself hit Comacho upside the head wit the Marquee title to help her team win the match. She wasn’t proud of that moment and if she could go back to change it she would. But there was no going back from it. She had asked for forgiveness and Comacho’s partner for the night, Evelyn Taylor was quick to shoot down the apology Nyako made. Despite everything Ny had done to prove what kind of person she was, Taylor decided to focus on the one instance and make the snap judgement that was the real measure of what not only Nyako was but also her sister were. It had been the second time in a month that someone chose to paint a picture of the sisters as something they weren’t and trying hard to escape from. First Miyoko, then Taylor. No matter what they did, their always seemed to be someone who wanted to knock them down.
When they first arrived it was Sidney Grey but honestly, she had it out for everyone and didn’t hide her disdain for everyone either. Even those she had been allied with at one point, didn’t escape her venom. But Nyako had though Taylor and Miyoko were different. Heck when she fought them both first time around she came out with tons of respect for them both after facing them and though they had done to he same to her. But now it seemed it was just seems like noise to Nyako. She couldn’t fault them too much for what they thought but still to pass judgement like that with out looking at the kind of people they were and trying to be just seemed rash.
Nyako hoped Comacho didn’t jump to thew same conclusion as both of them though. As much as she had, and partially still respected both Miyoko and Taylor, she felt she wanted Comacho’s respect more than the others. For Nyako it matter more to her if Comacho could over look what happened and see that wasn’t the real Nyako. The real Nyako was the one she came to help when Grey and St. Clair had gained the upper hand on Nyako when she tried to help her sister. Despite losing to Oni, Gabriella still came to their aid to chase off Grey and St. Clair. Then when Grey had been going after Comacho a month ago after facing her, Nyako returned the favor and stopped Grey’s attack before it became too brutal. That was the real person Nyako was. Not the one who was in the tag match 3 weeks ago. Yes the intensity is always the same, but underhandedness. That wasn’t her.
Syn looked at Nyako, seeing she was deep in thought. “What’s on your mind now my dear.”
Syn could see Nyako wasn’t thinking about Oni anymore or at least it wasn’t the main thing on her mind, but still was curious on what had her worried now.
“Comacho. I haven’t heard a word from her since the incident. I kind of want to know where I stand with her. Taylor made it apparently clear where I stand with her, and it’s too bvad she can’t look past it, but I don’t need to worry about her for the time being. I’m worried that Gabriella things what happened is the match is what will happen during the title fight. I don’t want her to have this image of me taking shortcuts to win by any means necessary. Hell, I’m over looking the face she and Taylor jumped me and Oni right when the match started. I put it to the heat of the moment and the emotion of the match. I don’t think Comacho is a cheap shot artist.”
“Yes well we can’t make people feel the way we want them too. They see things how they want to. Ms. Taylor for instance wants to be a judgmental high and mighty , goodie-to-shoes, girl scout who never messes up, and look down on thoe that might slip once in a blue moon. Then let her. Like you said she has hr own issues to deal with. If she still wants to talk garbage about you after her world title match and your Marquee match, then you can put her in her place. As for Ms. Comacho, I won’t even hazard a guess as to what she is thinking. It’s funny how you got the reputation as the strong silent type my dear, but Ms. Comacho has you beat there. Honestly though, does it matter what she thinks of you. You know what happened, you’ve said your piece let the chips fall was they may. Will her forgiving you make you approach the match any differently?” Syn asked
“That’s not the point..” Nyako started.
“No that is exactly the point. Whether she forgives you or not, you need to approach this match as one you don’t want to lose. The same intensity you've had in every match in LAW to date needs to be matched if ot increased for this one. Aren’t you the one that said respect is earned not given? Earn her respect by giving her the match you feel you should have given her in the tag team one. Show her you on’t need interference, a weapon, or anything to beat her. Show her you can go to to toe with her on your own and best her in the ring cleanly. You do that, and you put all the other naysayers away too.”
Nyako didn’t want to admit it but Syn was good at the pep talks. She always seemed to know what angles to take no matter the situation. Still despite what she said, Nyako knew what Comacho thought of her would still weigh on the back of her mind, but she did have to push it way to the back like everything else she had. Sooner or later she was going to have to deal with it all but for now she just didn’t have the time.
She looked at her phone and saw they time. “We need top catch the flight tomorrow for the show.. Not sure if Oni is coming with us or not. I want to check in with her tonight to find out though.”
Syn looked concerned but Nyako waved it off. “I promise I’m letting these things slide for now. Just for now. But really I want to talk strategy with her on the ride there if possible. She is 1-0 in singles against Comacho and as much as I’m confident I can beat Gabriella, any legitimate advantage I can get is welcomed.”
Syn walked toward the door to Nyako’s apartment to take her leave. “Fine, Boris and I will be here early tomorrow though to pick you up for the airport, If we need to pick up Oni, we can do that after getting you. But Nyako, promise me you will let these other things stop distracting you until after Sunday. We can deal with this stuff together after then and who knows when you win, maybe things will work themselves out.”
Nyako gave a small smirk to Syn before the woman opened the door to leave. “Yeah maybe.” Nyako snorted not really believing it to be true but didn’t want to hold out hope either.
After Syn left, Nyako texted her sister to see what he planes were for getting to the show. She leaned back on the coach looking up at the ceiling. So much going on in her world, and to think 4-5 month’s ago she was a personal trainer to the stars. She wondered if she wished she could go back to it. But that thought quickly faded. As painful, and frustrating as life in LAW had been, she was enjoying every minute of it and after Sunday she hoped to be enjoying it even more.
