You and me
By: Håvard S.
Author's note: This is my first
fanfic, so it's not that good. Read it if you want. The prologue is taken from
another fanfic I found on the net. Since this is the first chapter, maybe
someone else will write the second chapter?
Disclaimer: I do not own any of these
characters, they all belong to Namco.
Prologue
"We do things like this each day and
look at us! We're reduced to hiding in trees, living of wild plants and
sleeping in bushes each night! We're reducing ourselves to what they once were
and yet they do nothing to help us with our situation." Her thoughts had
remained in her mind ever since joining up with the group and now, having been
asked to explain herself, she was relieved to finally have them out in the
open. He wouldn't understand. He never did. He just looked at her from behind
his silver mask in silence. She was tempted to rip her own disguise from her
face just so she could defy him even further but she understood the futility in
doing such a thing. He would punish her as he had done to so many others guilty
of her same crime. Banished from the group or suffering a fate with more
permanent effects. Right now she felt prepared to accept either of them.
"Kunimitsu..." he started,
plotting some carefully calculated steps towards the girl. "You were
caught possessing stolen goods which you intented on keeping for
yourself." He looked down at the small distance of woodland grass
seperating them both. She was not the first to be caught doing such a thing and
knowing humanity's long history, she would not be the last. "What you have
done defies not only our group's personal morals but also the cause that we
stand for."
She was only half listening to him as he
began to slowly pace backwards and forwards before her. She had often taken a
quick look whenever he was giving this same speech to another thief either
before sending them away or treating them to a more painless punishment. Having
set out her personal thoughts on what she had done, she had now fallen silent
to hear him out as he had done to her.
"I, Yoshimitsu, banish you,
Kunimitsu, from both this forest and this group. Leave now... and never...
ever... return." Stretching his metal armour covered arm, he reached out
with his index finger, pointing to an area of the forest just behind her. It
was his signal for her to go and her signal that if she did not leave, she
would recieve the infamous alternative punishment. Her dagger was clutched in
her hands behind her back. If she so wanted, she could fight him there and
then, proving herself not only to be an able fighter but also...
A fool.
What would killing him achieve other than
a very mild feeling of satisfaction?
She neither said another word nor carried
out another action. He was no longer part of her world and therefore did not
deserve to be the audience of whatever she had to say or do. He was just
another face to her, one that like herself preferred to remain hidden behind a
mask. Brushing both her blood red pigtails off her shoulders, she had spun
around and dashed off into the forest before Yoshimitsu could even bid her
farewell or wish her good luck as he had done to so many former group members
before her.
I will see him again... I shall make
sure of it.
Chapter
1
Kunimitsu was standing on the outskirts of
the fighting area watching the fights. Nina had just been knocked out by Lei's
razor rush. Lei was waiting for the next one to challenge him. Yoshimitsu
entered the arena. The feared leader of the Manji clan... Kunimitsu snorted and
turned around.
"Man! I hate that guy!" she
mumbeled. "He shouldn't be the leader of the group! He banished me because
of a little mistake! I hope Lei will kick his ass!"
She decided to see the fight. She sat down
in the grass and started to chew on a straw.
"Hi Kunimitsu! Watching the
fight?"
Kunimitsu turned around. It was Nina and
Jun.
"Can we sit down?" they asked
politely.
"Sure."
They dumped down beside her and looked
down at the arena.
"Yoshimitsu versus Lei... That could be interesting." Nina said.
"I hope Lei will make him bite the
dust!" Kunimitsu mumbeled as the fight began.
"It look like it's going to be the
other way round." Nina pointed at the fight. "Look at that!
Wow!"
Kunimitsu looked just in time to see
Yoshimitsu doing the perfect Shark attack blow, knocking Lei out.
"Fuck off." she whispered so low
that it nearly couldn't be heard.
"Impressive!" Nina said exited.
"Wonder if he's that good in bed as he is fighting..."
Jun made her shut up. The next fight was
about to start. Yoshimitsu versus Paul. Jun glanced at Kunimitsu.
"Did you know that Yoshimitsu is in
love with you?"
"What?! No way!" Kunimitsu
looked at her as she was going to kill her.
"I heard him tell the other guys that
he like you very much, but he daren't tell you, because you'll probably telle
him to fuck off."
"Shut up!"
"Don't kill me, but I have to ask you
something..."
"What?"
"Do you like him? Just a
little...?"
"How much did he pay you for saying
that?!" Kunimitsu
stared at her.
"Nothing. He didn't tell me to say
that. It was my own question. Serious... Do you like him or not?" Jun
almost laughed. Kunimitsu was so easy to tease.
"NO! If you say another word about
Yoshimitsu, I'll...."
"Take it easy! I'm leaving now. Have
to talk to Kazuya. See you later!"
Jun and Nina walked away. Kunimitsu sat in
deep thoughts.
"Yoshimitsu in love with me? No. It
can't be. He hates me just as much as I hate him. But do I really hate him? He's
the leader of the Manjis and he banished me, but is that reason good enough to
hate him? He didn't have any choice but to banish me... If he had ignored my
crime, then everyone would have done the same as me.
Do I really know what I feel for him? Damn!
I don't even know my own feelings!"
Kunimitsu was on her way home when she ran
into Yoshimitsu. They both jumped. Surprised to see each other.
"Oh, It's you. You scared me."
he said.
"Yes. You should be afraid of
me." Kunimitsu drawed her knife, although she knew it would be useless
against Yoshimitsu's sword. Her only chance was a surprise attack.
"What am I doing?" she asked
herself. "I don't want this, do I?"
She attacked. Yoshimitsu dodged her, but
wasn't quick enough to avoid her next attack. She stabbed him. He was bleeding
bad from his stomach. He stared at her. It was death in his eyes.
"Kunimitsu.." He moaned. "Do...
we always have to... fight? Can't... we just be... friends...?"
Yoshimitsu collapsed. Kunimitsu was
standing paralysed watching him lying in the pool of his own blood.
"Oh my God! What have I done?!"
She felt down on her knees beside his
body. She stopped the bleed and laid his head on her lap.
"Please wake up, Yoshimitsu! I didn't
mean to do this. Please don't die! I'll never forgive myself if you do
so!"
She bursted into tears.
"Please... I... I... I love
you..."
She kissed him carefully.
Kunimitsu didn't know how long she had
been sitting there. She didn't cry any longer, she didn't have anymore tears
left.
But then, just when she thought he was
dead, Yoshimitsu moved! He opened his eyes slowly.
"Yoshimitsu! You're alive! Thank
God!" Kunimitsu kissed him again.
"Kunimitsu? Is that you?" he
mumbeled.
"Yes. It's me." she whispered. "I
was afraid of loosing you."
"You was afraid of loosing me? You've
always wanted me dead! What's the matter with you? Getting friendly all of a
sudden..." Yoshimitsu tried to get up sitting. Kunimitsu helped him.
"I've changed my mind." She took
his head between her hands and kissed him softly.
"I can't believe I'm being kissed by
my worst enemy..." he said and laid his arms around her. She gave him a
hug.
"I'm not your enemy anymore. Can you
forgive me for... for everything I've done before?"
Yoshimitsu smiled lightly.
"Yes I forgive you."
"Friends?"
"Friends."
Kunimitsu laid her head on his chest and
listened to his heartbeats. She looked down at his wound. It had stopped
bleeding, but it didn't look good.
"Does it hurt?"
"Not that much. I nearly can't feel
it anymore."
"Good." She said and pushed him
back down and started taking off her clotes. She placed her foot on his chest
so he wasn't able to move. She pulled off her pants. Yoshimitsu tried to get
up. Wanted to help her undressing.
"Oh no, you dont!" Kunimitsu
smiled and pushed him down again. She threw away her last clotes, and there she
was standing over him. Naked and wonderful. She laid down in the soft grass,
pulling Yoshimitsu with her.
Later, they was lying in each others arms.
Exhausted after a long and wonderful "ride".
"I want you to come with me, back to
the Manjis hideout. You're back in the group if you want." Yoshimitsu
whispered.
"What do you think the others would
say to that? You sent me away and now you're taking me back." Kunimitsu
asked.
"I don't know. We'll see when we're
there..." he mumbeled into her hair. "We'll see..."
The end.. for now...
