It was just another date for Asuka Kazama. Another steamy night for her and her lover- Feng Wei. Gently fiddling with her necklace that he had given her way back when they're relationship was still in it's prime, she waited for him alone that night. Waiting for him, she thought about their relationship, and how it's been 2 years now since they've been dating. 'Tonight is THE night' she thought. Making love to him was the most she wanted now, she felt it was about time to, since they've been going out for a very long time without any troubles. She couldn't wait to just melt in his arms like she always did, and cuddle with him on a bench while he talked about fighting and the tournaments he's been in. She loved it all- his voice, his character, his respect.. that's why she fell in love with him. Despite the fact that he was her father's sworn enemy, she avenged her father in the end, and in return, gained Feng's respect as well as his love.

"Did you wait long?" A voice called out to her gently.

Asuka looked up but saw no one, from the bench she was sitting at, "No. Just thinking about you." She smiled to herself, still fiddling with the necklace.

She felt two muscular hands massage her neck, making her purr a little, and giggle, "So where are we heading out tonight?"

He softly smiled at her, "well, a simple place tonight.. I've got work to do when I get home tonight." Asuka smile soon turned to a frown, "what? you're not free tonight?" He shook his head, "No, sorry.."

'Just another normal date... we haven't even kissed yet..' Asuka thought to herself, as she hardly locked hands with her boyfriend. Their hands were more like brushing than holding.

That night, they went to a simple Italian resteraunt to eat, Feng talked about his current job and how it's going, Asuka talked about her majors in college she's aiming for. Afterwards, they walked along the illuminated streets of Shinjuku, quiet, listening to the bustling around them. 'This is a perfect time to maybe.. kiss?' Asuka felt her heart thump at the thought of her and Feng sharing a passionate kiss.. that could lead to other things. Feng, on the other hand, was wondering when he'd be free of her grasp. She was clinging close to him, making sure not to let him go.

"Feng.." She whispered.

"Hm?"

"Kiss me.." She looked up at him, smiling, "..I think i'll need something to help me sleep tonight." He hesitated. He did a quick peck on her left cheek.

"Hey! You missed! Cheater!" She complained.

He grinned, "Too bad. But look,"

The sparkle in her eyes seemed to disappear as he said this, "I've got alot of work tonight, so I can't really go home with you tonight and uh.."

Asuka pulled away from him quickly, "It's okay, it's okay, I understand." He gently ran his hand through her soft, brown-tinted hair, and turned the other way to leave. Asuka's glare jolted at his back, "WHAT!" She exclaimed. Frustration hit her when he didn't jerk to turn around at her. "That jerk!" She shook her head. This was about the 5th time he's told her he had work, of course, she didn't suspect anything suspicious like she should have, she trusted him too much to think anything was up.

"I guess i'll just call him tomorrow or something.. hopefully he's free tomorrow.." She said, walking the streets, by herself, back to her small apartment. "But why is he always busy nowadays..? It's just too... weird. He's never been like this before."
