(finished this short novel because my inner voice told me to do so. Not sure if I will do something like this again. This got lots of fantasy stuff and maybe fans of the KOF game might have a snicker or two for somehow I do find some factors in this story kinda out of context for a normal KOF story, I think. This might also say I am clueless to the real flow of the KOF back story but who darned cares, my style, my brain. If anyone will care to read I thank you in advance :)) oh and I never bothered having a new title. That short story of Iori's POV 'Fate' is connected to this one anyway. Not to mention it is only one word ..so effortless to type.

My own characters: Cassandra, Maria Makiling, Nigel, Raphael, Bathala

Characters: Iori Yagami, Vice, Mature are owned by SNK Playmore and Ash Crimson, he did not appeared in this short novel though he is just a special mention :p

First chapter contains minor adult stuff. Be above eighteen if you read this

Fate

Chapter 1

They are alone by themselves again. These are the sweetest moments, Cassandra thought. She hoped this can last forever. Iori held her from behind as she can feel his breathing tickling her ear. They are in the Japanese park where they first met sitting by a body of water where a few couples decided to spend their time in private. Iori told her they are scheduled to fight tomorrow, that he hopes it will not be against her mother s team. As usual their time is limited. It was slowly getting darker, a few couples seem to move away maybe spend another time in another part of the park or go home. Iori did not budged though.

"S-So may I have some sugar, Cassandra?"

She obliged and Iori's tongue conquered the inside of her mouth. It was such a bold kiss she felt embarrassed but turned on at the same time. Iori felt she liked it and made the French kiss longer. This young girl is just a turn on for him too. He felt his manhood react. He can't help it and his mouth traveled to her neck. Cassandra, it being her first time felt very ticklish and moaned. She was wearing that off shoulder dress he loves so much. He kissed her exposed soft shoulders. He can feel pain as she tugged at his hair which just urged him more. His lips went further down until he was kissing her covered young breasts. Cassandra called his name in alarm but he saw her blushing it was such a beautiful sight for him. He cupped both breasts. That look of surprise in his girlfriend s eyes somehow just did not stop him from fondling more Cassandra s young breasts.

"P-Please I-I just want to do this Cassandra they, they are so soft to touch." Cassandra let him feeling a little hurt for Iori was getting rough at handling her breasts. She can hear him pant fully aroused as he gave her another torrid kiss.

She was not aware but Iori was able to lay her on the soft grass, he on top of her. Cassandra felt him raise her skirt and he was holding her thigh as he continued kissing her. A wave of panic came to her. She was feeling hot though herself but her promise came to mind. Iori was able to pull her dress down exposing her pink strapless bra.

"I-Iori!" she called but it sounded more like invitation than a protest.

"C-Cassandra, you... you're beautiful! I-I need to see these more." He was able to pull down her brassiere. His eyes popped seeing her rosy nipples.

He looked at Cassandra s eyes. Cassie was just looking back at him but he can see distress on those brown eyes. She can't feel that way. She does not have to be embarrassed about anything. Everything about her is beautiful.

"I love you, Cassie always remember that." He told her and began sucking at one nipple. Her scream is of undeniable ecstasy. He will remember it for life. Iori's hand traveled to her panties before he can tug it however he heard her say with a fair hand stopping his own.

"I-Iori, you... you promised mother, we... we promised her..." she saw him heave a very agonized sigh not looking at her.

He stood up leaving her exposed and he was still not looking at her.

"W-Wait" Iori said. Cassandra thought he was walking away from her for good but he stood before the water and washed his face he even splashed water to his hair.

He now looked at her. Cassie was able to fix her clothing but her hair was still messed up. 'Damn, if only...' Iori was thinking but he is sure he will lose her forever if he gives in to temptation. For a fleeting moment he thought he should propose or whatever He remembered to say,

"I-I got carried away, I'm so sorry Cassie." He thinks his arousal somehow is controlled and he came near her fixing her hair. "I-I m not good at barrettes, Cass." He sheepishly admitted as he took one of which is totally out of place.

"No worries, Iori." Cassie expertly fixed her hair. Her boyfriend made sure though her hair is not tangled anywhere combing it with his fingers.
