Chapter One: Arrival

The sound of the gun pointed at me from a good distance being cocked, echoed off the cold, rock walls of the cave, sending shivers down my spine.

The gun is shaking in her small hands and the glimmer of tears roll down her cheeks and hit the ground like raindrops on a Saturday morning. She doesn't want to do this. I can see it in her blue eyes. All the pain and sorrow show all too easily in her eyes. Her silky blonde hair falls delicately over her shaking shoulders. Her red lips tremble as she tries to hold back the weeping coming from her sweet mouth.

It kills me inside to see her like this. It just kills me. I swear on my life, I will find the man who caused this. I will find the man who caused this sweet girl so much pain. I will find him and I will make him pay. Slow and painfully.

"Don't come any closer!" She yells.

I hadn't even realized I'd taken a step closer. Let alone outstretched my arm to her.

"Don't make this harder than it has to be, Leon." She says, shedding even more tears. "Please…"

"I won't let you do this, Sakura." I say.

"He'll keep killing people." She says more solid now.

"I know that but I'm not like him. You know that. You know that because-" I take the chance and pull her into my arms. I place my cheek on the side of her head. I can smell the Strawberry Smoothie shampoo in her hair. It's her favorite. I can feel her silky hair between my fingers and the warmth of her tears on my neck. That's when I notice my own eyes begin to fill with tears. "I love you Sakura Ueda. I love you with all my heart and I'm sorry for that."

That's when the gun went off.

Weeks Earlier

Leon's Pov:

She moved on, so why can't I? She's gotten married, had two children, and here I am, still waiting my turn. With my looks, occupation, and age, I could be married to the first girl I start dating. Yet… I can't do it.

Trees flew past the car as I drove up the dirt road leading to Yuna and Kyo Kusanagi's home. Yuna Kusanagi is rich through her singing career. So rich that sometimes I wonder if Kyo only married her for the money. Well, as far as anyone can tell, they love each other. Almost too much. If they fight, they usually make up the same day. They make up like other people do-sex. They've had three kids' now-Taylor, Tyler, and Kaytlin. They've been married for almost four years now.

The woman I am waiting on is married to Kyo Kusanagis' older twin brother, Nick Kusanagi. Ada Wong -'scuse me –Ada Kusanagi, has had two children with him- Joey and Alise. Ada is the love of my life. We met in Raccoon City, the day of the virus outbreak. I thought she'd vanished after Europe, but look where she is now. Her entire life style has changed. She doesn't even appear to be working for anyone. Nick, on the other hand, is the definition of pervert. I'll just say this-watch what you say around him, he'll completely turn it around. The guys' smart though. 'Could've been a doctor if he wasn't so scared of blood.

As for me, the names' Leon Scott Kennedy and my love life is a total wreck. I work a type of bodyguard job. See I protect the higher ups' when they call. Like the presidents' daughter, for example. At the current moment I'm on vacation. Sorta'. This new job I've got, has got me scratching my head. One of the guys from intelligence has informed me that the Kusanagi family has had contact with the person I'm looking for, which is why I've asked if I can stay here a while.

I finally made it to the end of the drive and parked my jeep next to Yuna's Mustang. I'd just begun to get out of my car when a black Suzuki crotch rocket pulled up, skidding to a stop a few feet away from me.

Judging by the riders' figure, it was a woman. She took off her helmet, letting her hair fall. She had long blonde hair. She looked at me opening her eyes'. Her eyes' were a light blue. She was beautiful to say the least.

As I moved down her body, I noticed she was wearing a black leather jacket and leather jeans.

She abruptly held out her hand as I studied her body. I took her small, delicate hand and shook slowly, adjusting myself to the feel of her skin.

"Hello. My name is Sakura Ueda." The young blonde said, smiling a pearly white smile.

"Leon Kennedy." I responded unable to tear my eyes away from hers. "Nice to meet you."

"Yeah, nice to meet you too." She let go of my hand, putting her helmet on the handlebars." You must be the guy they told me about. An old friend of Ada's huh?"

"Umm…. Yeah, but we're a little closer than that."

"Old boyfriend?" She started to walk circles around me.

"Closer than that." I watched as she placed a finger on my shoulder and followed around me until she got to the middle of my chest which is where she stopped and stared at me.

"Fiancée?"

"Not that close." I smiled.

She continued around me until she reached my back which is where she stopped again. "Lovers?"

"Bingo."

"Awww…. That's so romantic!" She clasped her hands together and tilted her head to the right, smiling.

"Yeah well, it ended. A long time ago." I sighed, wishing it weren't true.

"Sakura! Hey, good thing you're back. I've gotta go get something for Yuna." It was Kyo, most definitely. "Hey Leon! You're late."

"I was being interrogated."

"So….. Do you like to be called Leon or Scott?" Kyo asked, putting on his helmet.

"Leon's fine." I said.

Kyo got on the motorcycle and started it up." Tell Yuna I'll be back in about thirty minutes."

He left skid marks as he started down the drive, halfway down, he popped a wheelie which he held up 'til the end of the drive.

"I swear Kyos' gonna wind up hurting himself doing that one of these days." I turned to see Kyos' twin, Nick." Hi, I'm Nick."

"We've met." As we shook hands Ada came outside and intertwined her hand with his, obviously showing she wanted nothing emotional going on between us, Ada and I that is. "Hey Ada."

"Leon." She was about to say something when Nick turned and kissed her. "Nick?!"

I didn't want to watch that so I turned to my jeep to get my stuff. As I opened the door to the backseat, I heard her giggle.

"Nick, don't! Not now!" She yelled.

"Why not?" He asked.

"Just don't." She was suddenly serious.

I grabbed my bag and swung it over my shoulder. I grabbed my laptop, stashed it under my arm, and turned to see those blue eyes'.

"Do you need help?" Sakura asked.

"No." I closed the door and silently looked back at Ada and Nick.

"Has anyone seen Kyo?" I looked up to see Yuna on the porch, wearing her usual short skirt and spaghetti strapped shirt.

"He just left." Nick answered." Why?"

"I've gotta talk to him." Yuna said.

"Why not call his cell?" Sakura asked.

"I've got to talk to him face- to- face." Yuna sighed, than smiled and waved." Oh, hey Leon. I didn't know you were here."

"Hi." I tried on a smile.

"Come on in. I'll show you where your room is." She had a troubled look on her face.
