"What's the matter, boss?"

Yoshi takes a deep breath, and looks down on the floor. Yoshi, still undecided how he feels about Eric, and his defeat in the 16 man battle royal, looks up once again, and looks around at the scenery. Mexico City, despite the fact it is 11 pm, is still as crowded as it would be at midday, however, Mexico City has different people at this time of day, no longer are the hard working men surrounding the streets, but this time, Mexico is bombarded with gangsters, hookers and druggies.

"Ain't yer gonna answer me, boss?"

Yoshi continued to walk silently. Yoshi grit his teeth as images of his previous match flicked through his mind. Yoshi tried to replay it all, and spot any mistakes that he made, because this is the only way that you can over come your mistakes. Not buffing up your move lists, but learning from your mistakes, getting over them and improving, no matter the speed, as long as you're constantly improving, it's alright with Yoshi.

"Don't ignore me, boss."

Yoshi lifted his head, and gave Eric an odd look. Eric had never called Yoshi 'boss' before, nor did it seem the kind of thing that he had done before. Yoshi gathered that Eric was sucking up, because it made sense, considering Eric is on his last lifeline. If Eric don't help Yoshi improve within the week, then Eric will fail as a manager, and that would end their partnership, which is something that Eric doesn't want, and Yoshi doesn't know it, but it is something that he doesn't need...

"Don't call me boss...I'm a failure"

Eric smirked, as this was the reaction that he was hoping for. Eric was known to try and bring a smile to his clients face, in their time of need, for Yoshi, this was heart breaking...his first loss in his entire career is something hard to take, especially if it's only his second match of his life. Some people would use this as an excuse (and I'm looking at Dave), but Yoshi tends to be real, he doesn't rely on excuses, just wants to get in their, wrestle, and have the balls to take his losses.

"Sheesh, I'm sorry, Captain. I didn't mean to upset you, superior, I don't know what I could do if I did upset you, leader, you mean everything to me, Lord, you..."

"Fine...call me boss."

"Whoah. Looks like someone has an ego problem here, yeah? Call you boss? Who the hell do you think you are?"

Eric smirks, and eagerly awaits to find out Yoshi's reaction. Yoshi stands there, silently for a moment, whilst Eric surveys his face. Eventually, Yoshi cracks a grin, and then Eric laughs out loud.

"Wahey! I knew you'd like that one. What about this one? A cucumber walked past me the other day...it went green with envy."

Yoshi's smirk changes back to a frown. Eric notices and his smile fades, too. Eric looks around and notices an Indian take away.

"Hmm...do you Chinese like Indian food?"

"WHAT!?"

"You Chinese like Indian?"

Crack. Thud. Thump. The three sounds which took less than a second to happen. Yoshi Yawakuzi connected with a clean hit right in the face of Eric Lockheart, resulting in Eric Lockheart landing on the floor, with blood spewing out of his nose. Yoshi scowls as Eric Lockheart gets up, and clamps his thumb and index finger around his nose to stop the blood.

"What the fuck happened?"

"...I want to ask the same question, before you get punched on the nose again..."

"What the fuck? All I asked was if you liked Indian!"

"...You took it too far, Lockheart..."

"What? Calm down, Yawakuzi!"

"Do I look Chinese to you?"

"...Shit! I forgot!"

"You FORGOT  my nationality? You fucking prick. You're no longer my manager, I've had e-fucking-nough with you. You are a crap manager, and you don't deserve to remain in the business. Now fuck off, and if I ever see you in the street again, I'll fucking knock you out!"

"I'm sorry Yoshi! Calm down!"

BANG! A new sound which echoes along the street, and that is the sound of Yoshi's foot connecting cleanly with the jaw of Eric Lockheart. Yoshi smirks, and turns around, when he loses control of his arms, with the cold, hard steel of metal clutched around his wrist. Click, the noise will scar Yoshi for the rest of his life...as will the following words.

"You have the right to remain silent..."
