Big Brawl 2: Brawl Harder

The quick tongued Asian had to really restrain herself from making a wisecrack about her thoughts on Dixie's intelligence when the American asked her how dumb she thought she was. She did let out a heavy sigh as she realized the game was up, and Dixie had put enough together to confirm she was Kunoichi.

*As if she didn't think I was a freak already....* she thought to herself.

Shifting nervously as the woman of her affection drew closer, Asami wondered briefly what it was about Dixie that flustered her so. After all, if you'd seen one blonde, buxom Texan, you'd seen them all, in Asami's view. However, the look of disapproval and disappointment rattled her harder than any of the blows the American had landed during their match. Still, she looked Dixie square in the eyes as she defended and explained her actions.
"I'm doing this because nobody else is!" she replied hotly. "Gangs are roaming the streets, kidnapping foreign girls, and the cops aren't lifting a finger to do anything! Do you think I woke up one day and was like 'Oh hey, you know what, I'm going to be the Japanese version of Batwoman?'"

Rubbing a hand over her face, Asami decided she should start from the beginning.
"Look, long story short, I was walking home from the gym at night, about three or four months ago. A girl was getting dragged away from some biker trash, so I did my duty as a good citizen and jumped them. The next thing I know, I'm fighting against a full on motorcycle gang, some biker chick jumps in to help me out, and we're fighting some guy named Chain Devil who leads those bastards. I took a nasty cut in that fight....nothing like this though. But, before we left, I broke his arm. Akahana....the Kawasaki girl, she said it was the only way to keep him off the streets. But....it didn't keep his men off the streets. Lucky for me, I wore a mask before getting into that fight, because I saw some of those same guys walking the street in broad day light, barely three blocks from our gym, just a few days after that brawl. So...I did some research. Turns out a lot of foreign women are being reported missing, taken off of the streets of Tokyo in districts that cater to Westerners. So I called the cops, left an anonymous tip."

Asami let out a sigh.
"But, I guess they didn't take it seriously, because girls kept going missing. So I decided to go out, get that outfit you saw me in. Then I starting walking a beat down in Roppongi, where the Americans like to hang out. I did it at night, after my evening workout. Right off the bat, I was busy. I stopped some muggings, a rape one night. Helped some old lady get her cat out of a tree."
She chuckled at that.
"Then one night I see some of Chain Devil's guys follow this Texan woman coming out of some stupid country bar....and well you know the rest of that one, you were there, Dixie."
She leaned back against the wall, her eyes on the ceiling, recalling that chilling moment Dixie went down after Lash broke her nose.
"I screwed up that night. You weren't supposed to get hurt, Dixie. But, there were so many of them, and that Lash woman, she was something far and beyond the punks I'd been fighting....like that Chain Devil. I should've made you run....should've drawn Lash away so you could've gotten out of there. But no, instead I let that bitch shatter your nose, and then fail so badly that you, the one I'm supposed to be saving, winds up having to haul me out of there! How messed up is that?"

Dixie stared down at Asami, listening quietly to her try to explain herself. When the ninja finally finished, Dixie turned to her, grabbing her by the shoulders, staring right back into to Asami's eyes. Her words were short, to the point, a forceful tone behind them.

"No. Ah can't let you do that, Asami, and ya know it. If ya ain't gonna promise me, then ya know ah'm going to have to stop ya myself, right?"

There was something in Dixie's eyes that Asami didn't like at all when the Texan placed her hands on the kneeling girl's shoulders. And then the American spoke to her, telling her she intended to stop her, that she could let Asami do this. Anger blazed up in response to the blonde's words.

*This chick...* the Asian thought to herself. *Who does she think she is? Who does she think I am!?*

"I'm not a child, or some helpless damsel. In fact, you were the damsel that night when I came along." she said coldly, her voice instinctively sliding into the voice she used when behind Kunoichi's mask. It was a bit of a stretch to call Dixie the helpless damsel, seeing how she was in fact beating down some of her attackers when Kunoichi had come on the scene, but Asami wasn't in the mood to think about that. "I've knocked out biker punks, would be kidnappers, possible murderers and rapists. I had a pair of French martial artist mob enforcers that Lash had hired begging me not to end their lives just the other night."
Granted, she had help from a certain Tension wrestler but Dixie didn't need to know that.

"So, if you think you can stop me, well...."
Here, a cocky smirk played across her lips.
"Good luck."

With that, Asami would stand up, pulling herself away from Dixie's hands. Turning her well formed backside to the Texan, she re-wrapped her towel back around her injured body before turning and leaving the locker room, grabbing a duffel bag containing her clothes. She had to get back down to the clinic and get herself patched up. After all, tomorrow was a big night, and she didn't want to keep Lash waiting.....

Dixie listened to Asami for a moment, shaking her head and quickly cutting in. "Funny. You might have been the one helpin' me at first, but as ah recall, yer ass would have been dead meat if ah didn't save it. Ya'd probably be bleeding on the sidewalk, beat to a bloody pulp, if ah didn't take out Lash and get yer ass out of there."

She didn't offer any resistance though, as Asami pushed her away and rose up to her feet, turning to go. She only watched, somewhat sadly, as Asami fired off her parting words and headed out of the locker room.

Dixie was willing to let her go though. She'd let Asami think she won tonight, but she would be there tomorrow to stop her, no matter what the young ninja had to say about it.
