~With Aleki~

Ever since last week on Raw, I've been hellbent on making Rock miserable.

He hurt Yuria by slapping her across the mouth and making her bleed as I never felt so guilty about what happened, but Yuria told me that I shouldn't blame myself because I didn't know what was going to happen.

I then trusted her even more after giving me a smile and encouraging, but the guilt still remained. And just to had another couple pounds of salt instead of a grain of it, Rock had the audacity to record ANOTHER promo on X.

I ignored most of it for my own sanity, but he had to say this about Yuria.

Rock: Hey hey, Tamu-chan! Hey, Tamu-chan! Don't call that girl "Tamu-chan"! Call her "Shitface"!

If he ever called her something like that, I wasn't gonna stand for it so I called him out by saying,

@AlekHunt94

"If you think I was gonna let this slide, you ain't so lucky. All that fame has gotten to you for decades that you got divorced from Dany and your own daughter doesn't acknowledge your existence. Now that you hurt someone I care about, thanks for giving me a reason to be the hell you deserve to face at Wrestlemania because the match we're gonna have is gonna be announced on Raw. Hope you find your balls before then. If not, it just proves how much of a pussy you've become over the years. And at Wrestlemania, not only am I gonna fight you, I'm bringing a whole goddamn Firing Squad."

Yeah, I'm announcing the match on X, only because I wanted to save the time from announcing it on Raw or Smackdown, primarily Raw because I'm there the most.

And since Wrestlemania was just around the corner, I personally asked Hunter if I could visit Matthew and Hana's graves before I face Rock in the match of my choosing.

Luckily, he gave me permission and I also asked if Yuria could come with me, and she was.

I mean, it's a blessing that he'll let me do that because Yuria and I packed up some clothes and headed to Pensacola, where Matthew was buried.

The reason I'm visiting Matty is because I wanted to find some closure. I haven't visited his grave since he passed away, and I never got to visit him, but I know he would forgive me after many years.

So, I got the flowers from a florist and we drove over to where Matthew was buried.

I miss the guy. I really do and when I told Yuria where we were going, she was heartbroken and she knew how hard it was gonna be.

~Pensacola, FL~

When we arrived in Pensacola, we found a Motel 6 to stay at and it was good, but a day later, when we arrived at the cemetery, I started getting a bit emotional, only because I haven't been here since Matthew's funeral.

It was that hard for me to fucking process his passing and it's something that I don't dwell on too much, even though I do with Hana's death.

As we looked to get out of the car to visit his grave, Yuria held onto my arm with concern.

Yuria: Are you okay? You need to leave?

Me: No, I'm okay. It's just hard coming back here. It's been seven long years and I haven't come by to pay my respects.

Then, Yuria wrapped her fingers around my hand with a smile.

Yuria: Let me know if it too much.

Me: Thank you.

I kissed her cheek and we walked out of the car to visit Matty.

It really gave me an eerie feeling, knowing how much death is here, but when we finally arrived at the tombstone, memories started coming back to me.

Seeing the grave again really made me feel better in a weird way, as it's giving me some sort of comfort, and I think Matthew is here, and he's not angry at me after many years of not visiting.

I never visited because his death had been so hard on me that I kinda blocked it out of my mind, that I know that Matty would understand.

I looked up to him, he was my role model, and to see the grave after many years, it's surreal in a way.

Me: Well, Yuria, this is Matty, my oldest brother.

Yuria kissed my cheek and laid her head on my shoulder as I teared up a bit, but I looked at her as she kept her smile, letting me know that she wasn't going anywhere.

Yuria: You can visit him. I will stay here.

Me: Are you sure?

Yuria: I sure. You need the time anyway.

Me: Thank you.

I kissed her cheek and let go of her hand as I kneeled down and put the flowers near the grave, as I started to talk.

Me: Hey, Matty. It's been years. And I'm sorry for not visiting. I just kinda blocked it all out of my head, and I hope that can be forgiven. You were my role model, and I still consider you as one. You were never perfect, but you're always my brother. I hope to see you again someday, because I miss you and I love you. And you know what? There's someone I wanna introduce you to. Matty, this is Yuria-chan, my girlfriend.

She smiled and waved as Yuria seemed to love this posthumous reunion between the two of us.

Me: I have to go, but I promise I'll come back again. Goodbye, Matty.

I then kissed his grave and walked away before I went insane.

Not a day goes by where I don't think of him and for me to come back after seven years, I think Matt would've forgiven me for that because he was my role model and I was his favorite baby brother.

I looked to leave and go to the car, but I couldn't believe what I was seeing.

Yuria was crouching down on her knees, praying to my oldest brother's grave.

Seeing this made me tear up because Yuria is the sweetest girl I've ever met, who always stood by me through my times of grief, venting, and going berserk, it just makes me feel blessed to have a girlfriend like her, especially with Hana's passing, which we're gonna be doing next.

When she was done, she got back on her feet, walked towards me, and hugged me.

Me: Thank you, Yuria-chan.

Yuria: You mean everything to me.

After that, it was time to go as Tokyo is up next, where we were gonna visit Hana's grave and look for some peace and comfort before we head to the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, where Raw was taking place.

~14 Hours Later~

It felt surreal coming back to Japan, and I never got to visit after I signed with WWE, and knowing that we're here for a few days, it's a blessing.

When we finally got off the plane, we didn't hold hands, knowing that it would be embarrassing if we did. Plus, public display of affection is frowned upon, so we can't exactly do that while we're here.

After a few hours of a nap, Yuria and I grabbed some flowers and started driving over to Hana's grave, where this was going to help me find some clarity before the match with that bald-headed bitch at Wrestlemania.

We went to the cemetery to find Hana's grave as this is something I always do to help me find strength for special matches or whatever, and I wanted that so I can keep my mind straight and help me find peace as well.

It's almost like meditation and it works so well as it's like Rocky Balboa when he visits Adrian's grave everyday like it's a Sunday hobby.

When we finally arrived, we walked around and looked to find her, but after a while, we did find the grave. I wanted to break down crying, but I stayed strong and kept going, but a memory came back.

~July 10th, 2020~

We finally arrived at the cemetery to lay Hana's remains to rest, as I was distraught about the entire time.

Many of her friends, including my own, were just distraught as I was, but I was even more of that than they were.

She was my best friend, someone I could trust and I loved her so much. Such a beautiful soul and just one of the most beautiful girls in the world, but now that she's gone, I don't know what to do.

As soon as there was a small hole for the remains, they put her bones in the ground, Kyoko, Isao, and Arata threw some dirt on there, but before they could start burying the remains, they gestured me to throw some dirt as well.

I nodded and took up a handful of dirt and looked to throw it, but I was so overcome with pain and emotion that I quickly threw it and walked away before proceeding to kneel down and cry.

I thought no one would ever check on me after because I felt a hand on my back. I looked up, and it was Yuria, one of Hana's best friends, and one of my best friends too, she was smiling.

Yuria: 大丈夫だよ、アレクちゃん。私にぶつけて。 (It's okay, Aleki-chan. Let it out on me.)

I stood up and hugged her as she hugged me back while I cried and they buried the remains.

Much later, when we went back to the house, I was sitting on their porch, looking out into the city, but then, I felt something grabbed my hand and it was Kyoko this time.

She sat down next to me and said this...

Kyoko: あなたにとって、花きんが大切な存在だったことは知っています。あなたは彼女を愛していましたし、あなたが彼女をどれだけ幸せにしていたか、私も見てきました。私たちが初めて会ったとき、私は彼女を守る母親でした。申し訳ありません。彼女がいなくなった今、あなたが残りの人生を大事にされている姿を見たいです。 (I know Hana-kin meant a lot to you. You loved her, and I've seen how happy you made her. The first time we met was me being the protective mother, and I apologize. Now that she's gone, I want to see that you're taken cared of for the rest of your life.)

Me: お母さん、私はあなたと血縁関係がないことはわかっていますし、私とハナは結婚したことがありませんが、それでも私はあなたの家族の一員なのでしょうか？ (I know I'm not related to you, and even though Hana and I never married, am I still a part of your family, mom?)

She gasped and teared up when I called her mom. I wanted to because she's like the mother I never had after meeting her last year.

Finally getting to know her as a person and not as a wrestler, she was very sweet and caring about Hana and I, especially when I asked for her blessing to propose to her daughter.

Instead of sitting up and walking away, she gestured me to stand up as she did too.

Kyoko then wrapped her arms around me, tears still coming down her face, and she said...

Kyoko: もちろんそうですね！ (Of course you are!)

I wrapped my arms around her as I laid my head onto her shoulder, and she said this as well.

Kyoko: 血縁関係があるかどうかは関係なく、あなたは私の息子です。そして、私はあなたを自分の子供の一人として扱います。なぜなら、あなたはこの世のあらゆる良いものを受け取るに値するからです。 (Related or not, you're still my son. And I will treat like one of my own children, because you deserve every good thing in this world.)

~Present Day~

Yuria: Aleki-chan, are you okay?

Me: Yeah, I'm fine. Let's just walk up there, shall we?

Yuria: Let's.

We walked over and we washed our hands, as per tradition, and then rinsed water into Hana's grave, cleaning it, before we laid the flowers down before saying a prayer.

I was thinking...

Me: Hana-chan, please be with me, as I go into one last match, as it's dedicated to you. Please guide me as I find peace in this final journey. I miss you and I love you. Be with me.

When I was done, I stood up, bowed and looked to leave, but Yuria was still praying so I waited.

After a while, she was done and we left for the hotel as we had to leave Japan in the morning for Orlando and once Orlando was done, we were leaving for Brooklyn, the Raw before Wrestlemania.

And that was when the match was going to be revealed.
