CHAPTER 19: JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER

That day, Ken and Arisa are doing some workout at a gym.

"Daijobu, Ken-kun? You seem like in a deep thought. What are you thinking about?" asked Arisa.

"About Hariz" replies Ken.

"What about that hentai? It's been about a month since he got fired" asked Arisa.

"Do you really believe that he's that type of person?" asked Ken in returned.

"I don't want to but we just know him after all. Maybe that's his real self" replied Arisa. Ken just shrugged.

Later on;

Ken stopped by a supermarket to buy some groceries when he saw Io and Tegan Nox.

"Do you ever contact your little brother after what happened last month?" asked Tegan.

"For god sake, Steff. Stop calling that pervert my brother. And I don't care about him anymore. Meeting him is the worse thing that ever happened to me" replied Io.

"But what if he's framed?" asked Tegan.

"He's framed? He's not even good looking. Why should someone framed him? Because he rejected someone? That's impossible. There's no way there is anyone that want him" replied Io.

"It's not nice to say such thing, you know. He's your brother" said Tegan.

"Not anymore" replied Io. Ken just shook his head before quickly walked away.

That night;

Ken and Alpha are playing snooker at a bar.

"Any good news from Hariz?" asked Ken.

"No. All of it are bad. He's totally disowned by the whole family because of this" replied Alpha.

"I feel so bad for him" said Ken.

"Me too. But at least all his friends have his back" replied Alpha.

"So, where is he now?" asked Ken.

"Wandering around the world" replied Alpha.

"I see" said Ken.

"We need to watch our back now. Who knows what will happened from now on" replied Alpha.

"Yeah. Somehow I had a bad feeling about this" said Ken.

"Me too" replied Alpha.

Few days later;

Ken is getting ready for his match when Ouja get in to the lockeroom.

"Look, dude. I know that you're pissed off when I interrupted your promo before. I just want to make everyone to realise my existence here" said Ouja.

"Well, that's none of my business actually. It's you on your own after all" replied Ken.

"That's right. By the way, did Kaori-san dating someone right now?" asked Ouja.

"No. Why?" asked Ken in returned.

"Nothing. See you later" replied Ouja before left.

"Something is fishy here" muttered Ken alone.

Later on;

"The following tag team match is scheduled for one fall!"

"Introducing first. From Malaysia. At a combined weight of 470lb. The team of Alpha Fale and Ouja Yagami; '57 Commando!"

"And their opponents. Accompany by David Hart Smith. Representing K.E.S. At a combined weights of 512lb; the team of Murderhawk Monster; Lance Archer and The Last Samurai; Ken Battousai!"

As Ken and Lance get into the ring, they quickly assaulting Alpha and Ouja. The referee had no choice but asked for the ball to be ring. Ken and Ouja are changing blows while Alpha that managed to send Lance to a corner dashed and tried to hit Lance with a splash but Lance managed to catch him before tossed him outside the ring. Then, Ken Irish whipped Ouja towards Lance for Lance to hit him with a big boot.

Meanwhile at the catering area;

"What an interesting match this is" said Kairi.

"That's true. But I just feel that something's missing" replied Tegan.

"Well, of course something is missing. That pervert Hariz is not there" said Kairi.

"Are you sure that he's real pervert?" asked Dakota.

"If he's not, he won't be fired, Cheree" replied Io.

"Are you sure about that, Io? He's your brother" said Candice LeRae.

"Oh, don't call him my brother. I don't have any pervert brother" replied Io.

"Let just focus in this match just like Arisa here, shall we" said Kairi then while pointing at Arisa that staring to the screen.

Later on;

Alpha managed to hit Ken with Discus Clothesline. Suddenly, Ouja tagged on Alpha's back.

"What the hell was that?" asked Alpha furiously. Ouja just ignored before tried to hit Ken with Kamishini No Yari but Ken managed to sweep him down before locked Ouja in Anaconda Vise that he called Kusanagi ni Tsurugi. Ouja tried to escape but failed. Ouja had no other choice than to tapout.

"Here is your winner, K.E.S!"

Later on;

K.E.S walked to their lockeroom when Cathy Kelley approached them.

Cathy: Guys, can you tell me what do you th...

Suddenly, Ken grabbed the microphone.

Ken: What do we think about our match just now? That match is just a warm up for us before NXT TakeOver New Orleans where I will be the inaugral North American Champion while David and Lance here will win the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team tournament for sure.

Lance: That's right. To all of you that ever dream to defeat us, just forget it because we're going to kick your ass worse than anyone ever did here in NXT.

David: So, piece of advice, just retreat. Because once we step foot in the ring, we'll show no mercy. Because we are K.E.S!

Then, K.E.S walked away.

Later on;

Ken is passing through another lockeroom when he heard Alpha and Ouja are arguing.

"What the hell did you do just now? I'm the one that must end the match. Not you" said Alpha.

"Chill out. I need more spotlight. You already known due to your reputation in New Japan while I just known among indies. That's why Suzuki-san never asked me to return to Japan" replied Ouja.

"You know what, whatever happened next like you got fired because going against what the boss asked to, I'm not getting involved in it" said Alpha.

"Of course you not. It's all on me. I'm not like Hariz. He never admitted until today that he's sexual harrasing Cassie. So coward just to admit that he doing something wrong" replied Ouja.

"Seriously, you believe him to do such thing?" asked Alpha.

"Well, why not? Just look at him. He's not look like a nice guy though. We should never trust him" replied Ouja. When Ken thought that he had heard enough, he walked away.

Later on;

Ken and Kairi are having supper together.

"I never thought that you'll be agreed to have supper with me, Ken-kun" said Kairi.

"Why not?" asked Ken in returned.

"You always with Arisa-chan after all" replied Kairi.

"Well, she always asked me to go anywhere with her while you seldomly do so. It makes me wonder if my only neesan started to forget about me" said Ken.

"Of course not, baaka ototo. So, how's things with Arisa-chan?" asked Kairi.

"Great. Anyway, neesan. It seems that Ouja interested on you" said Ken.

"Ouja-kun? Really? He's not bad though" replied Kairi.

"Really, neesan? I guess you are now judge a book by its cover then" said Ken.

"Well, what do I got when I'm not do so? I fall in love with a pervert like Hariz-kun after all. Do you know where is he right now?" asked Kairi.

"Well, who knows. Maybe he wandering around the world and playing guitar in underground gigs" replied Ken.

"Good. I hope he remains in underground forever. That's the place for someone like him" said Kairi.

"Well, I wonder about that. He never seems bad" replied Ken.

"Really? Even Io-chan and their whole family already disowned him. He's bad guy, Ken. You better stay away from him" said Kairi. Ken just remained silent.
