"Isn't this place nice?"

The sarcastic remark comes from the lips of Ki Loshimo as he arrives into his hotel room. Paradise, what a complete and utter farce. This city is far from paradise, Loshimo tosses his bag on a queen sized bed with fluffy cream sheets. A separate bag on the floor catches his attention.

Loshimo rips his silver sunglasses off his face as he stares in shock at the white travel bag on the floor, in _HIS_ room, "Are you kidding me? They double booked me?!?" Loshimo shakes his head in disgust, mumbling inaudible obscenities underneath his breath. His anger is accentuated by his hands firmly placed on his hips.

His attention is immediately adverted by the creaking sound of his room door, Ki's body language immediately changes as he looks upon a familiar face. The young woman stand a few inches over five feet, has dark black hair, and is of obvious Asian decent. "What are you doing here Aika?" Aika Anzai, an intern at Power's Headquarters in Hokkaido. Why would she be in Paradise?

"I thought you would be happier to see me." She saunters past Ki and sits down on the bed, immediately crossing her legs. "I just don't under why you would be here." Aika laughs for a moment, "I was assigned to you. You're my promotion; I will be managing your career during your time in WWA."

Perhaps his employers feel Ki needs a “keeper” in order to succeed in America. How insulting! How dare they?! Eh, at least she looks good in a skirt. Loshimo folds his arms around his chest, nodding his head.

"So, I assume you have something tell me about Mr. Mystery?" Aiko nods her head in confirmation, "It was almost impossible to find any information about this guy, but I was able to locate some information about his skills." Ki motions with his right hand for Aiko to continue, she sighs before continuing. "There's not too much you need to know, there's really not much said about him."

Loshimo shakes head in amazement, "So you were sent here to tell me that you know nothing about my opponent on Underground? Is that what you're trying to tell me?" The comment annoys Aiko to no end. She immediately stands up and stares into Loshimo's eyes. The act causes Ki some discomfort, he breaks their contact by pretending to cough.

"I was sent here to make sure you become the WWA World Champion, you've lost all your focus, and have forgotten what we stand for. With my help, we'll dominate the WWA. Or, I can leave and let you fend for yourself."

Aiko walks past Ki, he rolls his eyes before abruptly turning in her direction, luckily Aiko has not yet passed through the door. He points his sunglasses in her direction, "Alright, we can do this together. I didn't come all this way to be defeated by some late night comedy act."

Aiko leans against the door frame. Her eyes look over Loshimo before responding, "Wise decision. Everything begins at Underground, you must focus on destroying Mr. Mystery, and we have to make a statement."

Aiko walks into the room once more. Her attention is taken by a modest painting of a forest hanging on the wall above a flat screen television, "You have to make him suffer." Loshimo sets his sunglasses on a dresser. "I always knew there was something wrong with you..."

Oh come now, is there ever anything wrong with a beautiful woman? Perhaps; if that woman enjoys watching others fail, self destruct, and become shells of their former selves. Then perhaps there just might be something wrong with her.

"I do agree, Mr. Mystery is going to have a most unkind welcome to the WWA."
