Jame' heart was pounding. He was going up against three other people, that really made him scared. To make matters worse, if he lost, he would become their plaything until they didn't want him anymore. The thought of what they could possibly do to him was just unbearable to think about. He tried to clear his mind and focus on the match at hand, trying to think of what he could do to possibly even have a chance at winning this match. He heard his music begin to play and he stood up, heading out of his room and out to the backstage area before heading to the top of the ramp. He smiled at the amount of people that had turned up for this event, it was definitely going to be one strange night, though he slowly began to grow more confident that he could win this with each cheer and the chanting of his name. He gave out high fives and hugs to his fans before climbing onto the side of the ring and clambering through the ropes to his corner to await his opponents.

S.E.M.E.

”Mitsuru Satou”:

”Hikaru Matsuoka”:

”Ryuunosuke Tachibana”:

Truth be told, S.E.M.E. was surprised to hear that their manager had booked them a 3 on 1 match, let alone that any opposing party would agree to such rules. Of course, the 3 person team had to operate like a tag team and was limited in their ability to score pins, the 1 man team still seemed to be at a disadvantage for sheer endurance. To compound that, if the 1 man team lost, he was supposed to do whatever SEME wanted, for as long as they wanted, until they got bored. What sort of rules were those?! This 'James Justice' character that was to be their opponent was either really confident, or really stupid. Still, SEME needed the publicity and if the other party was willing to agree to the conditions, then why not proceed?

Fast forward to the day of the event and all three members of SEME are prepped, ready, and waiting backstage to be called. Of course, each of them wore the team's signature fur coat ensemble on top of their ring attire. The lights dimmed in the arena and a remixed version of Kimigayo played to a waving Japanese flag on the jumbo screen. Mitsuru was the first out on the ramp flanked immediately by Hikaru and Ryuu behind her, each a different personality for the crowd. Mitsuru was calm, cheerful and flirty, Hikaru raw, crazed and unrestrained, and Ryuu solemn and well-disciplined. At the bottom of the ramp they handed off their coats to a waiting AFW staff member for safe keeping, and then ascended the stairs into the ring.

Hikaru would be the one to start things off for SEME in the ring while Mitsuru and Ryuu waited along the ropes.

"Oi oi oi, this pipsqueak is gonna take on all three of us? Ryuu, maybe you should jump ship so at least it'll be fair" Hikaru joked as he laughed and pointed at James, turning his back on him as he looked to his team. It looked like every member of SEME had a height advantage over the young American, and probably a weight advantage too all things considered. Hikaru was the youngest member of SEME at 22, and he still looked ancient in comparison to the just-finished-puberty look of James.

"Focus..." Mitsuru chided gently and pointed at the ring, to which Hikaru begrudgingly obeyed. The 'Wild Wolf' of the ring took time to crack his knuckles and roll his neck out as he stepped towards the center, making the height difference that much more noticeable to the crowd. On one hand as the distinction set in, in the minds of the crowd who were on the fence, any chance at James winning was being destroyed. However at the same time, the fans with the 'underdog spirit' began to cheer even more loudly for James, to propel him to win against all odds.

"So when we win, I get to do whatever I want with you....right?" Hikaru laughed as he looked down at James, flashing a fanged smile and running his tongue over his teeth to intimidate him. He quickly flashed a thumbs-up to the ref to let them know SEME was ready on their end.

James' eyes widened a little when he saw his opponents coming to the ring, he backed up against the ropes, almost having a heart attack. He couldn't believe he had agreed to this match. He watched the three get into the ring and he swallowed hard. He staggered a bit and his knees began to wobble, "I can't do this." he whispered to himself before almost dropping to his knees. He slowly got to his feet using the ropes and shook his head and slapped himself a little. He then looked up to see the bare chest of a male. He slowly followed the body up to the male's face and gasped softly, leaning over the top rope, "Wha...ah...bu..." he stammered, his eyes widening and he shivered a little at the male's words, "Y...y...yeah, those are...are the stipulation...I...I guess." he looked down at his boots and blushed a deep shade of red, trying not to show that he might have had a small interest in the male...or his teammates.

Hikaru clapped the boy's face patronizingly and snickered to himself, shaking his head as he walked back towards his corner. This was going to be the squashiest squash match that ever squashed as far as he was concerned. Not only was the kid too nervous to speak properly but he was grossly outnumbered as well. He almost felt bad for him too, almost.

The bell clanged out to signal the start of the match, but Hikaru just stood there hands on his hips and grinning at James. "Tell you what, I'll let you take the first shot. So comon punk, some me what you're made of!" Hikaru taunted, holding his hands out to the side and leaving himself completely exposed. Was it a trap or was he really taking pity on him? James would soon find out.

James just blinked as the much larger male touched his face. He thought that the male was going to start the match early and hit him, but it never happened. He had closed his eyes, but slowly opened them when he walked to his corner. He shook his dizzy head and moved forward towards his opponents, throwing a knee to the much larger male's midsection. If it were to connect, he would then drape his leg over his head, jump up and drive his face into the mat when James came back down, executing the anarchist's dream.

James's first move was to run and jam a knee into Hikaru's exposed midsection, a smart move considering he left himself open for it. Mitsuru and Ryuu shook their heads in disapproval at Hikaru as James draped his leg cross the back of his head. Before each match, Mitsuru made each member review past records and strategies of their opponents. Thus, they knew full well that James was going straight for one of his finishers.

James jumped up and brought Hikaru down to the mat with him, though the move didn't end as expected. Hikaru landed on his knees rather and removed James's leg from behind his head. With a grin he yanked James's leg towards himself with his left and his right hand slapped hard into James chest below his neck. He pulled up on James's leg and shoved down on his chest, aiming to slam him down hard onto his back.

James thought he had him, but something didn't seem right. His eyes widened when his opponent suddenly dropped to his knees instead of being slammed into the mat. He froze in fear, unsure of what was going to follow. He felt himself pulled forward, but made no effort to block or counter. He was slapped in the chest and he cried out in pain. He then felt himself lifted and dropped onto his back for a slam. He screamed in pain and arched his back a little.

"How cute, you thought you could open with a finisher" Hikaru laughed as he pushed up off of James and rested a boot in his gut. Anyone who was watching could tell that Hikaru was definitely enjoying himself, but it required an up-close view to see that he had somewhat of a predatory look in his eye.

What should I do to him next? Will he always scream like that, or could he get louder? How much should I play with him before the pin? These were the kinds of sadistic thoughts that occurred to the Wild Wolf of SEME as he looked down on James, both literally and figuratively.

"Upsy daisy, we're just getting started" Hikaru continued, leaning down to pull James up by the hair. He shoved James off towards a corner post and then backed up. He clapped his hands together above his head to try to get the crowd going, and then recklessly ran straight for him. Head down, arms extended, aiming to spear James into the corner without looking.

James placed his hands on the male's legs as he was slowly pulled up, groaning a little, he slowly got to his feet, staggering and dazed, he didn't even see what his opponent was doing when he was backed into one of the corners. He suddenly heard the crowd clapping and cheering and then, a sharp pain shot through his body and his eyes widened as he gasped, staggering forward until he was in the center of the ring. He then collapsed, laying spread eagle on his back.

Hikaru plowed through James like he was made of feather pillows, blasting the male onto his back and rendering him spread eagle. Hikaru plopped down to the mat in front of him, grabbing James's ankles and lifting them up. He then started pressing them towards James's head, folding him over in two. Hikaru let his weight rest on the back of James's legs and left him the perfect vantage point to look down at the pinned opponent in turn.

ONE! the ref shouted in response to Hikaru's pin. James seemed pretty shocked and out of it, he definitely wasn't going to kick out right away. Not to mention he would have to get Hikaru off of him first, not exactly an easy task.

As the ref swung down for the two count, Hikaru suddenly shoved off and flipped James onto his chest, thereby breaking the count officially. Without saying a word he pushed up to his feet and slapped an unamused Ryuu on the shoulder, making him the new legal tag partner.

With Ryuu stepping into the ring, he was like a literal giant compared to James. Unlike Hikaru, his expression was somewhat neutral, though he looked at James like he was puzzled as to what they expected him to do with him. He gathered his resolve however and crossed his arms over his chest. Unless the situation was dire, he preferred not to go after a downed opponent unless he had put them there in the first place.
