The moment the announcer had declared Jun Kazama as the winner over his own bodyguard, Anna Williams, was the moment Kazuya thought that Jun was worthy of his attention.

The light streaking through the window makes his head throb and his blood-shot eyes sting, but Kazuya decides that he could get used to the calm after the storm while Jun fingers through his hair.
25 / Safe
As Jun's heel catches on the end of her dress and she falls at the tournament's gala event, she feels the heat in her cheeks rise as a strong arm loops around her waist to steady her.
26 / Sneakers

27 / Eye
When she does see him again after over twenty years, she can't help but be sadden at the sight of the glowing red eye that replaced a stunning hazel one.

Jun doesn't need a beat or accompaniment of instruments; her voice has its own wondrous melody that could put even the most talented recording artists to shame.
29 / Sudden
It came out of nowhere, claiming that it was the demon she feared and that it was going to possess her unborn child.

The first time he hurts her is when they are sparring, and she tells him not to hold back, which results in her sporting a rather large bruise on her shoulder.
39 / Hunger
Jun just can't take her wide eyes off of him while Kazuya devours food for more than six people in one sitting without dropping a crumb.
40 / Moment
It might have seemed odd, but their most peaceful moments were either after a spar with them lay out on the mat sweating and panting, or in the morning in bed, enjoying each other's company.
A/N: This is something I've been wanting to get out of my head for the past two days. I am in the process of having two of my betas look at this, but I just couldn't wait. Whatever their verdict is, I'll add changes where they suggest them, but other than that, it stays as is. Thank you for reading and please review!
