Hello beautiful people. It's a fine day, night actually, I have exams coming up in less than a month but recently my KOF fervor has been revived and for that ladies and gentlemen I give you my first ever KoF fanfic. PLEASE no nasty comments, it'll break my heart maybe we can start off with hmmm "friendly suggestions" moving on to "creative criticism" and ohh lastly you can abuse me too, if you like. BUT WHATEVER YOU DO, if you've read this and you like it clap your hands :D and also add it to your favorite story and please please leave a review! Yayyy.

With that settled, let's begin our story.

DISCLAIMER: I do not own KoF. SNK Playmore does, or did. Never mind. Don't sue me.

Chapter 1: Regrets

It was going to be one of those days, thought K' to himself as he sluggishly made his way out of bed and opened the west-side window, allowing the cool breeze to brush his cheeks. He sighed as he looked out the window of his new apartment. Things had been alright since he had moved here, slow to say the least. For starters, none of the paparazzi could chase him around and disrupt his private life in this part of town. Nobody ever came here, except the eccentric people who resided in this unpopulated building.

Plus, there were other benefits to this astute decision, not that he doubted himself any way. Only a few of his close friends could find him here: the ones he knew were too busy with their own lives to aggravate him: Maxima and Lin. He knew it was pointless telling Seirah. If he told HER, SHE was bound to butt in and give him a bashing of a lifetime for bailing out the way he did.

But that was just him, he feared relationships, he feared responsibility, he feared…love. Beside, his chestnut brown haired girlfriend was never going to forgive him, so there was no point of brooding in a corner, wasting away. With new optimism he made his way to the kitchen and took out two eggs from his refrigerator. No gas, should have known, he thought to himself. The new apartment came with all its faults. Oh yeah. He lit up the stove with his gloved finger. How convenient.

He took out his land cruiser and drove his way to work. He checked in at the gate, (being checked out by a number of female coworkers) and made his way quietly into university. He took his usual class, the students were perhaps a year younger than himself and never really bothered him much, never asked questions. This was probably because:

He was extremely intimidating

He was an excellent teacher of physics

He was the definition of tall, dark and handsome. Yeah, he was all three of those.

He drove back to his apartment in the evening, picking up some Chinese on his way back. So far so good. He wasn't as miserable as he was in the morning, and the few days he passed the same way weren't monotonous at all, rather added to his optimism. He was right, in not hurting the ones he loved, in protecting them, by keeping them at bay, and taming the monster within. Fire and Ice…he thought silently one night as he lay on his bed. K' and Kula diamond…

He wondered how she was doing. He ached in pain, turned from one side to another, tossing his sheets on the floor, throwing his pillow to the other side of the room. He punched the wall with such physical animosity that it left a whole inside its structure. He felt it- felt the pain that made him succumb to his only fear, of losing her. He wanted to burn it down, burn the whole apartment down and burn himself with it, but that would only cause her pain. Had he not caused her enough pain? He wondered in silence, in hatred, in angst. Although he could never say it… surely, I love her, he thought to himself with renewed regrets.

-End of Chapter 1-
