Why Hate Never Dies...

There was an ominous feeling in the air. Like in a horror movie, right before the big scare comes. But, this moment was being prolonged like no other. About an hour had gone by with this feeling. The nurses gave looks as they walked by. The doctors did the same. But he didn't mind it, it was always like that due to his demeanor and how he looked.

A nurse with a clipboard walked up to him, reading his name from it. "U-Um...Mr. Zokaro? Is that it?" She asks. "I am told by the receptionist that you're here for a visit?" Like the others, she was a bit fearful of who she was talking to. Jay looked up at her from the chair with a glare. "Yes. I have come here for a visit. Is she able to be seen?"

The white walls of the hospital made contrast with the black hair, shirt, pants, and shoes of Jay. Hands stuffed into his pockets, he walks with the nurse to visit the room of Anampo Yatgra. Anampo was near finished with her recovery. She had suffered from a fractured rib during her last match. She had been visited by Nick, Conza, and Yoshiro. But not yet Jay......Until now.

And it was NOT for a friendly chat.

Meanwhile, another friend of Anampo was coming over to visit. Her name was Deborah Grady, but she prefers to be called "Black Cougra" or "Cougra" for short. She was excited to see her bunny-eared friend in spite of her injuries and she made sure she was all dressed up. She wore her iconic cat-ears, a purple T-shirt, a pink skirt with leggings, and sneakers. She would reach the hospital and signed in for an appointment.

Cougra walked to the designated room where Anampo was resting, but she was unprepared for the storm that's about to happen. Sure enough, she would see someone else with her and froze in shock. Then her face grew angry as she shouted, "YOU! What are YOU doing here?!"

Jay entered the room. Anampo was both scared and somewhat surprised to see him. Her rabbit ears droop. "U-Um.....Jay?" She asked. The nurse left the room. "Wait, nurse. Are you sure its a good idea to--" But, it was too late.The door closed and Jay now faced the rabbit.....Alone.

And so the unfriendly chat started. "Look what's happened to you."

"S-So what? Wrestlers get injured all the time." Anampo shot back, trying to defend herself.

"This will happen to you if you dont just gie up on this fevered dream.....NOW."

Anampo gasped. "N-Never! I would never--" She stopped when Cougra entered. Jay's head turned, his green eyes attempting to pierce and intimidate Cougra.

Cougra's shocked and angry face soon came to a mellow mood as she would sternly add, "No need to hide anything from me. I heard it from the window on the way here." She would start walking to Jay as she said to him, "Don't you see, Jay? Anampo has fought without fear. She didn't care if she was gonna get hurt as long as she's doing something outside her comfort zone and it's what she loves."

Cougra would then walk over to Anampo and held her hand as she asked, "Anampo, are you alright? I'm sorry if I didn't come in sooner."

"I do see. My vision is not clouded. But, I also see a girl who was never cut out to fight in the first place. Even if she does 'love' it. She may have grown stronger since moving here, I'll give her that. But its not enough that it has helped. She should just go back home...." He crossed his arms and shook his head slightly as Cougra checked on Anampo. "And by the way, I didnt hurt her. She is in no condition to receive any damage."

Anampo smiles. "Yeah, Cougra....Im okay. A-And its okay. He just came in only a few seconds ago."

"I know that, Jay," said Cougra without looking at him directly. "And even if you see someone who wasn't cut out to fight, I see someone who has potential. Anampo said it herself, she would never give this up no matter how hard it is. And I for one am willing to help out however I can. Why can't you help her in her fighting?"

Then she said to Anampo, "I really do think you have potential to become a great fighter, Anampo. I never doubted you for a moment since we first fought together."

"You know very well why I cant help her. In case you didn't notice, I don't like Anampo. Sure, as one human to another I do. But,she and I don't connect on any levels. None that I see, at least." He didn't uncross his arms for anything, and was pretty damn adamant about what he was saying. "Its no use if you just keep losing, so why continue?"

ANampo seemed hurt a bit by what Jay was saying.....But Cougra's words of praise quickly lifted her spirits. And Jay didn't very much like or care for it.

Cougra wouldn't care for Jay's hatred towards Anampo, and that didn't make sense when he came over here. "Why do you say you hate her? I would be sure you did if you hadn't even come at all to see her." Then she added, "And because no matter how many times you lose, that doesn't mean that you cannot win at all. Anampo has just been in the big leagues for at least a few matches and she's just getting her feet wet. Now, she just needs guidance and training."

She would whisper to Anampo, "I can help you, Anampo, and I will. Don't let Jay get the better of you."

"I have my reasons to hate. I wont say them in front of Anampo for I care enough not to make her cry at the moment. All these things were small attempts to toughen her up. But no, she doesnt learn and then crashes and burns. At least she worked up the nerve to fight me, though it was short....." Jay smirked, as made it clear that he was talking about when he used his claws on Anampo long ago.

That was when Cougra first met Jay, and now this was the second. Both times he was a brute man. "You know nothing of the past, Cougra. So dont attempt to think you do."

Now, she had both Ryan and Cougra on her side to help her get stronger. Anampo was fearful of Jay. But she knew that he would cause no harm to her here. However, she was a bit worried for Cougra.

Cougra would scowl as Jay recalled the time back when he scratched and hurt Anampo. "That's only because she is only starting out at that time. She isn't strong enough to fight you yet and you won't harm her here." When Jay mentioned that she doesn't know anything about the past, Cougra raised an eyebrow as she said, "You're right, I don't. Well, why don't you try me then."

She kept a close eye on Anampo to ensure that she's alright.
