As the audience awaited the next match in anticipation, while other fans took this moment at getting a tinkle out or find more to fill their ever expanding gut.. The enormous titantron came to life, viewing through a lurking cam, seeking a good payday, spying on two women moving down the backstage hall. Emiko Sone in wheelchair, pushed along casually by the caretaker, seen from Halloween Havoc. "Key.. Where are we going?" Emiko spoke moodily, eye gazing dully at the tables, equipment, and people that passed by her. "Somewhere to cheer you up, you've been grumpy for too long, I think this will do you good!" Key answered, voice upbeat to pump up that cheer! "We're spose to see my father.." Irritation edging in Sone's responding complaint. "Yes, well.. we.. are.. Here!" Brightly proclaiming, as Key stopped in front of a door and gave a quick knock to it. Sone held her bored stare to the distance of the hallway ahead, not bothering to take aware of where. Probably something stupid like Cart & Croft..

 Preparation was key tonight as the Lioness readied herself for the big match. She pulled the zipper up on her jacket as she stared intently at her reflection in the mirror and pondered silently to herself.
Luca anxiously tugged down on the jacket to try and get a tighter fit. After looking it over for a moment, she finally gave herself a nod before continuing on.
She reached over the countertop of her assorted items, quickly picking up the electric blue lipstick to reapply.
The Lioness paused, her hand laid over her LED glasses as the sound of two knocks rapped against the door. "Yes..?" She responded, not looking away from the mirror as she lifted the sunglasses to her face.

receiving acknowledged permittance of entry, Key opens the door, wheeling Sone inside, widening Emiko's eye at alert to sight of the Blue Blossom!
"Hello, Ms. Leone. Nice to see you again." Key said in greeting and putting a hand on top of Sone's head, petting her shaggy hair like she was a child.. or pet.
"I have a grumpy friend here, that's been pouting all month now." She added, as Emiko lowered her brows to this patronized treatment.
Turning her head slightly, giving tilt, trying an attempt at looking to Key now in annoyed skepticism.

Luca's heart sank as she looked up into the corner of mirror to see Emiko rolled into view. Her eyes were hidden behind the dark frames of her glasses as she fought back emotions the emotions that welled up, but she kept her back to her visitors a moment longer to perk herself up. Finally swallowing her emotions, a slight smile crossed the Blue Blossom's mouth before she turned to welcome her guests, or at least one in particular.
"Missy.. Hi." Luca's voice weak as she spoke up. "I.." Her voice cracked as she lost the words. The sight of her girlfriend quickly began to overwhelm her. "I should go find the others." The Lioness looked away as she tried to walk past Emiko's wheelchair.

Luca pulled Emiko's attention back at her greeting and concern crept up, with the crack of her Bewty Blue not gone unnoticed.
Concern dropped to the fast track catch of being avoided! Eye of Emiko turn hard in hurt and aggravation!
The Lioness nearly passing successfully by, Emiko Sone stared straight ahead and slipped a hand into the hand of her girl, holding in refusal, not allowing her to leave!

The Blue Blossom froze as Emiko's hand clasped around her own, halting her departure. Luca's hand trembled as she continued to avert her gaze. She pulled back, trying to escape E's grasp. "Missy... I can't."

Shifting in her seat, unable to twist her torso yet, Emiko adjusted halfway off the sear, trying to meet Luca's eyes. Sone sought in yearning for behind the shades.
At the pull, Emiko lost her grasp and seat! Falling the floor, wincing at the longstaning flash of pain and sucked in air, waiting for it to ebb away.
Looking up at her rejectful girlfriend, in a pensive glaring eye back, different, different that it was not Oni, it wasn't just a hurt or mad Emiko..
It was an accusational look of anger that claimed The Lioness to hold fault! But.. to what?

Luca slipped out of Emiko's grip as she fell out of her chair, the Blue Blossom doubling backwards into the wall herself. Her shades slipped off her face when she bumped into the wall. Looking down at her girlfriend, her glossy eyes met with Emiko's angry gaze. "... Can you give us a moment?" Luca spoke up to Key, now keeping eye contact with Missy.

The caretaker of Emiko, Key, looked up to Luca Leone, while on a knee assisting Sone, ready to help her back in the mobile chair.
Throwing scorn to Luca, she return her face at Emiko. "Key, step out.." Sone spoke in a murmuring mumble, leaving Key a bit stunned, but complied reluctantly.
Standing, she eyed Ms. Leone leeringly, before stepping out of the room.
Emiko looked away from Luca, staring at the wall in front of her, adjusting herself of the floor, fixing herself with dignity, expression unchanged.

Luca stayed put, leaning back into the wall a moment longer as she stared at Emiko. "I'm sorry. I haven't reached out, and I should have..." Finally picking herself up, her gaze shifted down at the floor before speaking up again. "At first, you upset me, and then you scared me." She looked back up at Emiko. "You keep doing this. You keep going to a place you might not come back from." Wiping her eyes, Luca walked back over to the mirror. "I don't understand what you're trying to prove."

The apology didn't seem to soften Sone's demeaner at all, yet hearing she had scared her Bewty Blue, an eye dropped to hands that clenched.
Quiet and listening further on to the Lioness express her feelings, brows of Emiko grew angrier, tightening together.
Finally, with an admittance of ignorance to her agenda, Sone could sit silent no longer! Through a snarled frown, she would give her answer.
"I strive for greatness and you don't understand? No, you wouldn't." Ending in a scoff, Emiko reached up to her chair armrest.
"Like a conspiracy set up of Salem, Drako, and Cart, to have me crash for Cart to make my work worthless." Hate in her words, she continued.
"I am left ignored, alone on my own, just as before, for being a disappointment." Struggling to stand, painful sweat rolled down the side of her cheek, failing in returning to her seat.
"Don't touch me! Key! My seat!" Not even looking to Luca, whether she was about to help or not, Sone opted for her caretaker assistance!
Key quickly entered, as if she had her ear to the door, but she wouldn't be so nosy. Surely not!
Emiko continued, while aided up into the wheelchair, "I would rather take a slap and be yelled at, than ghosted. At least then, I know I'm acknowledged.
Fortunately, I have been fruitful on my own. I found my true family and still remain with me, even after my fall from honor. I will see my father now."
Now seated in her mobile chair, Sone adjusting herself, fixing her legs comfortably and straightening up.. Key began to back her client out.
"Hold on." Sone instructed, halting Key. "You want to know, what I'm trying to prove?" Emiko at last, looked again at Luca.
"You're going to have figure that out on your own.. or wait until December for your Christmas answer. As for tonight..
How you do in your match tonight, determines the fate of our relationship." Then turned her head away, facing wall, finished with this interaction.
"Key, my father. Nothing more." Sone's final words, strictly spoken, as the two made their leave.

The Blue Blossom was left heartbroken by Emiko's words. She gave no response, nor called out to her girlfriend as they took their leave. Luca stood at the vanity, her eyes slowly shifting from the mirror as she was left alone. Emotions weighed heavy as everything started to take its toll on the Lioness. She blankly stared down at the assorted items on the counter and rubbed her hand across her face, unknowingly smearing her make-up.
“Oh…” After a moment, Luca looked down at her hands to see the smeared, cloudy trails of blue and black on her hands. The Lioness clenched her hands a few times, before suddenly sweeping the items off the table in a sudden bout of rage. Turning, she picked up the chair at her side and launched it at the mirror, shattering it instantly.
In a daze, Luca looked around the damage that was done. All her pain and sadness she had felt the past month had been replaced by a possessive state of anger. Picking the chair off the floor, the Lioness sat in front of the vanity, looking at disfigured reflection in the splintered remnants of the mirror.
The Huntress focused on the reflection, undisturbed by the mysterious gloved hand that now rested on her shoulder.
