They Don't See You How I Do (Kane X Reader)

8

"Allow me to introduce the opponent in this matchup, Kane!" Kane and you walk out to his theme, like usual, the only difference being this time you're dressed in more formal wear. Rather than your casual jeans and a shirt or ring gear you are dressed now in a long, deep red dress. It had been Kane's only request this week, and after last week you decided you might as well put in some effort.

You were here to check over the contract and to ensure Kane had the best chance at winning the last man standing match. Naturally he had the better end of the deal anyway with him being able to withstand a lot more than most men, but you aren't going to take any chances.

Kane pulls himself onto the apron using the top rope, going over it to enter the ring. You on the other hand walk up the steel stairs lifting the bottom of your dress so you don't stand on it. 

Kane leaves you to get in the ring by yourself, not helping with the ropes. You dismiss this, knowing he wasn't going to at any point anyway.

You make your way around to where Kane is standing, watching as he reads over the contract.

Eric leans over to you "It should be in his favor but Shane can be unpredictable" He mumbles, ensuring he can't be heard by the cameras.

"Trust me, Bischoff, I know" you reply quietly.

"After what he did last week he's got the majority of the superstars avoiding him, I'm surprised you haven't run off in fear yet" Eric chuckles. You send him a confused look.

"I have nothing to be scared of, because unlike some I choose my allies with myself in mind"

Kane stands back straight, having signed his name.

"Your name needs to go down too" Eric states, flipping the page over. You take the pen and read carefully, Kane's ring-post pyrotechnics not provoking even the smallest reaction from you.

You sign the contract, happy with the terms. You're allowed to be out with them, but you are not allowed to bring any weapon down to the ring. But there is nothing to say you can't take one while you're down here.

"And his opponent in Last Man Standing at Unforgiven, Shane McMahon!" Shane's theme starts and he runs out, doing his usual routine, stopping suddenly so he can walk down the ramp like a regular man.

He slowly makes his way towards the three of you in the ring, not seeming phased by Kane staring him down.

Shane enters the ring through the second and top rope, going straight for the microphone on the table.

"Kane, I wanted to tell you, I waned to tell you this right to your face. That Eric Bischoff has only made this Last Man Standing match because Eric thinks you're gonna annihilate me" With that Kane and Eric both nod, Eric much more excitedly than Kane.

You meet his statement with "Damn right" but it doesn't deter Shane who opens his mouth once more.

"And that may be true Kane, but sure as I'm standing here I'm gonna tell you something. If I'm going down, you're going down with me" Kane smirks and all you can do is shake your head. "And actually Eric you did me a favour by making this a Last Man standing match, because that means Kane that there are no rules. That means that anything goes" You find Shane looking at you now. You give him a dangerous look, Shane still unaware of the terms in the contract, and it will likely stay that way.

And Kane, look into my eyes when I tell you this, as long as I am breathing in and out I assure you the I will be the Last Man Standing" Shane doesn't bother to read through the contract, simply glancing at Kane before putting his signature on the document, looking at you once more once the clipboard is back on the table.

Kane suddenly steps forwards, flinging the table off to the side with one arm, but Shane doesn't flinch.

"I'm gonna kick your ass this Sunday" Kane states, stepping forward. Shane still doesn't move.

"You can try, you can" Shane says, walking backwards and taking a hold of the top rope.

"I am" Kane replies.

"Okay" Shane goes to get out of the ring but turns at the last second, running and jumping on Kane, knocking him to the ground. Shane begins to punch Kane, and you can only watch, rendered useless in a dress without a weapon.

You catch sight of Eric at the other side of the ring holding a steel chair. You pluck it from his hand, turning around to see Shane give three low blows, one after the other.

Kane stumbles back into the corner and Shane kicks hard, likely trying to make Kane feel the same pain he felt a mere two weeks ago. You go to hit Shane in the back but miss as he moves away too fast for the chair, delivering another shot to the crotch, this time with his knee.

Kane rolls out of the ring in pain, and as Shane watches him, you finally see your chance, stepping forward and swinging. The chair collides this time around, knocking Shane into the ropes.

He turns around, stalking towards you. You brace the chair for another hit, only to find it be snatched from your fingers. Shane glares at you, the steel chair now in his hands.

You watch from your corner as Shane slides out of the ring, going to hit Kane with the steel chair. You try to warn Kane, shouting his name but it is no good, he stands up to have the steel collide with his back anyway.

Kane falls to his knees after a second hit to the back, one hand on the apron for support, the other between his legs. You advance towards Shane but he sees you, swinging for Kane once more, this time the chair colliding with his head.

You wince as Kane falls to the floor, Shane pulling the cover from an unused announcers table, then the top, smacking Kane in the head with the hard plastic.

"Shane stop!" You shout from the ring, but he just smiles at you. He forces Kane up onto the announcers table, then advancing towards you.

He picks the steel chair back up, sliding into the ring.

"Get out" He demands. You shake your head but Shane stepping forwards and raising the chair causes you to have second thoughts, leaving the ring and walking down the steel stairs.

You walk towards where Kane is, seeing Shane jump from the top rope, landing on your partner.

Both of them lie on the floor, referees flocking to make sure the son of their boss is okay.

You go by yourself to check on Kane, finding he is in a lot of pain. He lies there and you take a hold of his hand, crouched beside him.

You look up, glaring at Shane. He will get what he deserves at Unforgiven, just like Rob Van Dam got what he deserved inside the steel cage.

And you'll make sure of it, not for you, for Kane.
