#O11 - Excuses

"Ohma, hello. I'm just here waiting for Ms. L/N since Kazuo asked me to check up on her. I'm not too sure which room is hers." Kaede Akiyama greeted.

"Are you okay? Your hair is messier than usual and you're sweating quite a bit. A fever, perhaps?" She asked. Ohma's eyes widened and his cheeks turned a very faint and unnoticeable pink.

"I'm fine. I'm going to go. See you." He replied, and with that he left.

"Ohma is an odd one indeed..." Kaede Akiyama thought to herself. Kazuo had come out of his room to look for Ohma to discuss more about the Kengan tournament that would officially begin tomorrow.

The two had seen and met up with eachother. "Ms. Akiyama! Good to see you. Have you spotted Y/N?" He asked. She shook her head and responded with a polite no.

"I'm not sure which room is hers-" She began but a sudden door slamming open was heard. The two jumped in fright as Kaede Akiyama quickly turned around to see the source of the racket.

"Ohma, that fucker, where is he?" You growled. You had burst out with your messy (H/C) hair and now loose red dress.

"E-Eek! Y/N please refrain from using such vulgar words!" Kazuo squealed.

"M-Ms. L/N!" Kaede spoke. "Wait, didn't Ohma just come out of the same room?" She realized.

Then, her eyes fell on the fresh hickeys on your neck and collarbone. Her face turned redder and hotter than the sun. As steam came out of her ears, her nose also began to bleed.

"M-Ms. Y/N!!!" She yelled. She pushed you back into your room, shutting the door behind her leaving Kazuo Yamashita confused and dumbfounded. He was unaware and had not seen the marks on your body due to the fact he was not wearing his glasses.

The next morning arrived quickly. You, Ohma and Kazuo made your way to the buffet to grab food and ready yourselves for the upcoming thrill of the day.

"Truly, Y/N! You were very drunk!" Kazuo said."Yeah, i've got a terrible headache and I feel so hot too." You replied."That's your fault for wearing a turtle neck in this weather." Ohma butted in.

"Kazuo, who brought me to my room last night?" You asked. He replied saying it had been Ohma.

The fighter suddenly felt a heavy and ominous glare fall upon him. A glare full of nothing but pure bloodlust and furious wrath. A glare that was yours.

You grabbed Ohma by the back of his shirt and dragged him to an emptier part of the cruise ship.

"Ohma, tell me now! What happened last night?!" You yelled."I don't know what you're talking about" He merely responded, chewing on his chicken leg."Don't play dumb. Explain this!!" You pulled down your turtle neck sweater to reveal the bruises."You fell while trying to get off the stool seats." He replied quickly, averting his gaze. Your heavy stare made his knees feel weak.

"Is this the truth?" You asked. He hesitated, but he shook his head yes like an old robot that had malfunctions. A sigh escaped your mouth."Whatever." You muttered before returning to Kazuo and the area of the breakfast buffet.

"O-Ohma...that was terrifying. Well done." Kaede Akiyama appeared out of the shadows."I know. She can be scary." Ohma replied.

"Ohma, p-please. Try to keep your intimate activities together as a couple, uh, a secret." She said, her face turning red once more.

His face ever so slightly turned the color red before he muttered a reply.

"I told you, we didn't do anything like that." He replied before walking away.

The truth was, Kaede Akiyama already knew that. Earlier that morning, she had abruptly stopped Ohma to talk to him.

"O-Ohma. If Ms. Y/N confronts you, tell her that she fell off the stool seats. Now I must get going. Best of luck." And with that, she left.

Let's go back in time a little bit more. Kaede Akiyama pushed Y/N back into her room after she came out a heaving mess on the night before.

"M-Ms. Y/N! Please calm down and tell me what happened!" She flustered."Ohma! That- that- ugh!" You yelled. She sat you down onto your bed.

"Ohma...he- he-""What did he do, Ms. Y/N? I could possibly report this and have him terminated." She said sternly."He- he-""He...?"

You burst into tears."He didn't continue!! He didn't go further!! I gave him the signal, he just said that he wasn't going to do it!! Am i not good enough?! Not sexy enough?!" You whined. Kaede's face flushed red.

"M-Ms. Y/N. You are intoxicated. P-Please take a rest. I'll prepare you clothes to change into." She replied shyly.

She returned to the buffet peacefully until Lihito had turned up beside her. The two of them stared at you and Ohma bickering.

"They fucked, didn't they?" He said."L-Lihito!!!" Kaede yelled.

The next day had come. The feel of the air was thrilling yet tense. There were massive screens displaying the arena.

A woman appeared amidst the smoke, the chairman's daughter. She was a very fitting woman for the job because she got the audience easily hyped up.

You were sitting next to Kazuo, Kaede, Ohma and other fighters he got to know while on the way to the island. Kazuo pointed to the world leaders at the highest seats and your jaw dropped.

"O-Ohma! Look, look!" You tugged at his sleeve and pointed. He hummed in boredom. You had no idea how he was bored at this point.

She introduced the fighters as they emerged from opposite sides of the arena. Ohma had a bored and unamused look on his face so far.

As the two blondes stood in front of eachother, you watched intensely. You felt both excitement and nervousness.

Honestly, you hated watching any form of fighting but you felt thrilled this once. You clicked your tongue at this realization.

"Ohma's rubbing off on me." You thought.

You looked beside you because Ohma's fighter friends asked him a question, but he fell asleep. You deadpanned alongside the others.

"Your Husband is one piece of work, Mrs. Tokita." Ohkuba commented. Kaneda glanced at you for confirmation and you nodded. He smiled.

"Well, all the best for the newlyweds." He smiled and you did so back.

You watched the fight intently, gasping and hitting Ohma out of excitement for every moment where the tables turned.

Finally, Imai Cosmo had been announced as the winner. The crowd errupted and so did you. The difference in their physique threw you off and made you expect Adam Dudley to win, but Cosmo simply beat him with pure strategy and skill when he used Zone.

There were a few minutes break in between each fight. You had to use the restroom so you woke Ohma up by poking his face.

"What do you want?""Come with me to the restrooms.""Ask Kazuo Yamashita or Kaede Akiyama."He bargained. You subtly pulled down your turtle neck sweater and pointed to the mark on your neck. His cheeks turned pink.

"You are responsible for this.""I-I didn't do that to you, you just fell and bruised your neck. Whatever, let's just go." He stuttered. You grinned a cheeky smile and followed him.

"Were you just asleep the entire time, Ohma?" You asked."Yeah. The fight was just boring." He replied."Eh, it was really good though!" You said. He shrugged.

You reached the restroom and you went inside. After, you fixed your hair and left only to see that Ohma was no longer there. You worried a little bit. He didn't have a phone after all and you weren't the best with directions.

As you took a step forward, you suddenly felt your throat tighten. You felt an ominous presence glaring down onto you. Your blood ran cold and you froze in place. You swore someone was walking towards you, until they left in a flash, only letting you catch a short glance of their long hair as they escaped.

"Hey, I was getting a drink from the vending machine." Ohma said. You didn't realize he had already walked up to you."Are you okay?" He asked."Uh- yeah. I felt something weird just now." You replied. You held onto his wrist in extra caution. He looked at you a little confused but shrugged it off anyway. The two of you made your way back to your seats in the arena.
