Disclaimer: I don't own Dead or Alive; Tecmo, Team Ninja, and X-box own it.
A.N.- please read and review. Please try to hold back from flames, the last two fics I tried ended up in disaster (I guess it's because I changed my writing style) so I removed them. I don't want to take this down because I'm a huge fan of Dead or Alive.
I'm not sure what the connection between Hitomi and Hayate/Ein is. All I know is that they knew each other before the tournament, due to the conversation between them before their match in story mode. And I only wrote this story because there are no Hitomi/Ein (Hayate) fic's.
I also might have the story line wrong, because I only played DOA3, not any other of the series.
I can't speak all of their languages so don't expect each to speak in their native tongues. Also when you review, please don't say the way I write sucks. I've had that done to me before and, it hurts like hell, I almost stopped writing.
Rated: R for language, mild violence, and lemons in future chapters.

Chapter 1
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Ein stumbled out of the Black Forest of Germany after waking up from a serious beating. DOATEC left him there to die and without his memory, he wouldn't be able to get any help. He clutched his side, applying pressure where a bullet hole was.
He walked for hours until he came to a large town. He didn't know where he was going; he focused on probing his brain to find out who he is. He found his way to a local karate dojo, but when he reached the door he blacked out again.

Ein woke up the next morning to the smell of rubbing alcohol; apparently someone had treated his wounds. The augmentations helped his wounds heal faster, but he didn't know it. After looking around the room, he noticed that his arms and chest were covered in gauze. After a few minutes of wondering where he was a young girl walked through the door, "Oh, you've finally woken up, you've been out for a while."
"How'd I get here?" asked Ein.
"My father found you all beaten and bloody at our front door of his dojo," she answered as she set a tray down on the nightstand.
"Thanks," replied Ein who was surprised at how calm she responded.
She sat down on the bed beside Ein and started removing the bandages from his chest. After getting all of them off her hands lingered for a while. Ein was starting to feel uncomfortable, "Umm………"
"Oh, sorry," she replied, her face was turning bright crimson.
Ein started thinking again. All he could remember was fighting, and something about the Dead or Alive tournament when he was being released from DOATEC. He knew that if he was going to find out about his past, he would have to enter the DOA tournament; and if he entered the tournament, he would have to train, "You said your father owned a dojo?"
"Yeah, why?" she replied.
"I want to enter the next DOA tournament, but I need to train a little first," he replied. He thought he would sound stupid if he told her about his loss of memory.
"What makes you think that you could win it with only a few months left?" she teased.
"How do you know when it is?" asked Ein.
"I've been wanting to enter it for a while now but my father won't let me, he says I'm not good enough," she replied.
"She fights too," he thought. He wondered if her name would sound familiar and spark some sort of flashback or something, "So, what's your name?"
"Hitomi," she replied, giving him the tray of food she put on the nightstand earlier, "Well, it's time for my lesson so if you need anything in the next hour, my mom should be in the house somewhere."
"Mind if I watch?" asked Ein asked as he sat up in the bed.
"Sure, but why don't you ask if you could have a few lessons of your own?" suggested Hitomi.

A.N.- it's short, yes, but I want to know what you think so far because I don't want to take up a week and find out it was a waste. Please r/r. It will get better. The other chapters will be much longer, if I get good reviews and decide it's worth it. And if you don't like it please don't flame.
