*Oichi pauses staring at his face.*
"We are the... soul... mates. Is that how you say? I would do the anything for her... and her for me."
*She smiles the slight... the corner of her lips.*
"That is why the chances you have are none. We fight for the each other... we fight because we do love."
"You? You fight for the nothing. A simple piece of gold."
One fine PPV... a world champion named Anjyl came out to the ring, offering a shot at the gold. Nobody came... actually A nobody came, and that nobodies name was Oichi. With zero interest in the gold, Oichi just wanted a match with woman she had admired and without a doubt one of the top professionals in the business. The outcome, on the surface, appeared pretty cut and dry. The World Champion Anjyl won... but Oichi seemed to win as well. She won the respect of Anjyl. A meeting later that evening, a proposition, a drink... and the tag team Sugar and Supaisu was born.
Sugar and Supaisu quickly gained an audience, experience, skill and finally after 2 months of the relentless... the titles themselves. Truly the greatest tag team of the second half of the season... S&S redefined tag team wrestling... if just for a moment. An ugly, petty attack by Kahn left Anjyl's body in ruins. Retirement her only choice. Leaving Oichi alone, and the tag team division in tatters.
The ring, the titles, the VWE... none of which could ever capture what these two mean to each other. Anjyl would say "soulmate"... Oichi would simply say "the love". But whatever word was chosen, the bond between these two was quite clear.
While others fought for pride, and others fought for gold and even more for no particular reason at all. Anjyl and Oichi fought for each other, and lived with each other... every day they shared.
In the off season, Oichi took Anjyl home... but somewhere along the way things changed. An island in the Pacific... not that far from Japan... a deal was made, and a great reward was given. Anjyl's knee was reconstructed... and Anjyl herself was returned to Oichi's side. But what price did she pay?
The Sisters of The Code have reunited at long last, in a room... like that they used to share. But there the similarities do end... and the changes overwhelm anything that might be considered the same as the times before.
"Father"... would be proud.
