Hello! It's the holidays so it's time for an update! I think this is one of the longest chapters I've ever written (although some of my other ones in other stories are appallingly short) so you must review!
And speaking of reviews I must thank all of the wonderful people who take the time to give me their opinions and I urge you to go and check out their fics. So thanks to hieiashke, sixfigureincome, Divinely Ethereal (don't be sorry, it's good to hear what people think especially as I somewhat agree), Ranma Matsuri (wish I had been sick, who gives exams in the last week of term?), Satu-D-2 (nice to hear from you again, argh don't you hate exams?), SweetPinkDragon, Jun Kazama-Mishima (no I didn't know you're from Germany but isn't it awesome to think your on the other side of the world to me yet we can communicate? Your English is very good too.), Painwish2letout1 and finally Bibi. You guys are awesome :)
Angel quickly crossed the room and knelt by the unconscious woman. The powerful aura which had been surrounding Jun had diminished when she had been hit by Angel's beam causing her body to go into shock and give out on her. It was the perfect opportunity to enter her mind while her defences were low and yet she hesistated. Was it worth it? Was saving Kazuya's soul really worth it? Could she cause someone else so much pain just to help Kazuya?
The answer was yes. She had to. She was the one who had caused such a horrible mess in the first place, how much worse could it really get?
I will be disgraced.
I will pay.
I will die.
But was death a big deal? Did she really deserve to go back to heaven? No. She didn't. She had failed Kazuya completely. She hadn't saved him from Heihachi, she hadn't saved him from death and she hadn't saved him from Devil. So she had been a failure and now she was going to possess Jun to make Kazuya happy. Did this make her any better then Devil?
No. But that didn't matter anymore. Jun was beginning to stir. It was now or never.
She placed her hand over Jun's forehead, broke into her mind and began sifting through her memories. Her little chat with Jun had been most revealing. She had seen Kazuya 'kill' Heihachi, had she? Well that was interesting...
Jun sat bolt upright, eyes wide with fear. He was back. His aura was seeping through the air like poison and Jun was filled with fear. He'd tried to contact her before but he'd never actually returned. But he wasn't headed towards the house... the cliff?! He was going to the cliff?
She threw on her dressing gown and ran from her bed out into the yard. Why on earth would he want to go back there? There was only one answer she could come up with and she was surprised to find she didn't like it. Surely Kazuya didn't come back to... to kill himself? Guilt began to bubble in her stomach and she sprinted towards the cliff. It would be quite ironic if she actually didn't want him to die and he finally did...
She stopped dead in her tracks. It was him... there was no mistaking it. No one else had the crazy hair, the constant frown and the incredible physique Kazuya had. She quickly hid herself behind the nearest tree and squinted at the thing he was dragging. It looked like a dead animal. She darted silently between the trees to get a closer look and just about gasped outloud as she recognised the head of hair that could only ever belong to Heihachi.
So this was why he was back. Revenge would be so sweet. Heihachi was barely conscious, his head rolled from side to side and his eyes were lazily opening and closing as blood trickled down the side of his face. Kazuya stopped before the edge of the cliff and shook Heihachi who moaned and tried to focus his gaze on his son.
"Do you know where we are father?"
Heihachi seemed to sense the danger in the way his son hissed those words at him and quickly looked around as much as he could. His eyes found the cliff and the puzzle seemed to click into place. He began struggling violently against Kazuya who laughed openly at his father's panicked state. Then Kazuya lifted his father high above his head.
"It's quite a drop. Exhilarating though."
"Kazuya don't you-!"
Kazuya paid him no attention and threw Heihachi away from him with all his might. He watched his father's descent intently, smirking at the curses which were fading away and then abruptly stopped.
Everything was silent.
He suddenly whirled around. Jun barely hid herself in time. She knew he was staring at the tree she was taking refuge behind and her heart was pounding so loudly she was sure he could hear it. She didn't want to see him. She didn't want him to see her. She wanted to avoid all contact with him. He couldn't know he'd seen her or he'd think she was here to see him.
She stood as stiff as a board, silently praying that Kazuya would move away and never come back. And after what seemed like an eternity he did. She ran swiftly throught the trees towards her house but once again she came to an abrupt stop. Kazuya was standing in the yard staring at her bedroom window.
"Jun..."
She shuddered as he uttered her name. It just sounded wrong, hearing him whisper her name like it was sacred.
"You'll be mine one day."
Jun watched him leave, his last statement making her feel more vunerable than any threat ever could. Would she be able to avoid him forever?
Angel left the memory. It was interesting, yes, and extremely insightful but not what she was looking for. No, she needed something more... Jun needed to feel more...
"Jun! Come here please!"
"Yes dad!"
Jun ran through the house out into the yard where she found her father standing with a tall, imposing man with the strangest hair she had ever seen. He smiled at her, and although she was still quite young, she could tell that this was an extremely insincere smile. She smiled back even though she had immediately come to the conclusion she didn't like him. He turned towards the car parked at the top of the drive way.
"Kazuya! Get out here boy!"
The door opened to reveal a boy of around her age with an equally as strange hairstyle as the man she assumed was his father. He stalked foreward and glared at everyone.
"Jun, this is Mr Mishima and his son Kazuya. They are going to be staying in Yakushima for some time so I thought it would be nice if we made their acquaintance."
"Pleased to meet you Mr Mishima."
"What a charming child. If only the same could be said for the boy."
A rather embarressing pause ensued and Kazuya took the opportunity to prove his father right. His eyes narrowed and his eyebrows lowered as he continued to glare at Jun and her father.
"Ahh... I'm sure Jun and Kazuya will get along just fine."
Jun surpressed the urge to groan. It was the summer holidays and her father wanted her to spend it with this angry boy who looked as if he'd never smiled in his life?!
"Yes, well run along children, I have some business to attend to so I'll come by later if that's alright with you?
"Yes that's fine, fine."
Jun wanted to strangle her father about now. No it wasn't fine, she was now stuck with some boy who didn't appear to know there were emotions other than angry. Their father's walked away and Jun turned to Kazuya.
"So... what do you want to do?"
He sneered at her.
"Nothing with you."
Jun stood slightly stunned by his aloofness.
"Fine! Have fun glaring at everything! Stupid boys..."
Jun stomped off angrily towards the forest and Kazuya was left standing alone in the middle of the yard looking quite unsure at what he was supposed to do.
No, that wasn't what she needed, she wanted a stronger emotion. It had to be in here somewhere...
Jun and Kazuya were sitting together by the river which ran into Lake Yakushima on a warm summer day. Jun shifted uncomfortably under Kazuya's gaze. He was always looking at her intensely as if he were studying her and it made her feel very self conscious.
"What do you mean?
"What do you think I mean?"
Jun said nothing but blushed deeply and refused to look at him.
"Does that embarress you?"
Jun gave him a glare and remained silent.
"Don't go all quiet on me now Jun. Do you like me?"
She was turning an even brighter shade of red in her embarressment.
"Do you not like me?"
She shook her head. Her shyness was rendering her incapable of speaking. She was sure Kazuya knew this and was taking great enjoyment at the fact he was making her so uncomfortable.
"So you do like me?"
Jun groaned in frustration and forced herself to speak.
"Yes."
"I'm sorry, I didn't catch that. Could you please speak up?"
Jun gave Kazuya a death glare and made to get up but Kazuya caught her arm and pulled her back.
"And where do you think you're going?"
Jun didn't reply. She couldn't. Kazuya was pulling her closer...
There! That was it! Angel forced that emotion to run throughout Jun's body. It wasn't love, more like scared excitement but it was clearly as good as she was going to get. At least Jun had definitely liked him a lot at this point and this memory would allow her to easily manipulate Jun into thinking she loved Kazuya.
She stood up and waited for Jun to come around. Finally Jun sat up.
Go to Kazuya.
"Kazuya."
Jun spoke his name tenderly, her eyes softened and she smiled slightly. Angel inwardly congratulated herself. Jun wasn't even slightly aware she was being possessed. Perhaps she could make this last longer than she had originally thought, which meant there was more chance of Kazuya being happy!
Jun walked out of her suite, out of the hotel and off down the street. Angel kept a close eye on her all the way to the Mishima Zaibatzu. Knowing her luck, Jun would be so dazed she would walk infront of a car and then Kazuya would kill her. But Jun arrived without any problems. Angel just about started laughing when Jun began to check her reflection in a window before she walked up to Kazuya's personal floor.
She didn't bother knocking. She walked straight in without a glance at anyone. A few of the last employees leaving looked at her but didn't question her. She was walking with purpose and authority and didn't appear out of place in the grand building. She found her way up to Kazuya's bedroom and Angel was about to leave when she realised Jun wasn't going in. She was staring at the door, wringing her hands and biting her lip. She was nervous?!
Go to Kazuya.
"Kazuya."
She tentatively knocked on the door and stepped back, looking at the floor. Was Jun always this shy? A light switched on within the room and footsteps approached. Jun suddenly looked frightened. The door swung open.
"Jun?"
Kazuya slowly stepped out into the hall, looking as though he wasn't quite sure that he was actually seeing her. She looked up.
"Kazuya."
Hmm, well there was a lot of italics there and Jun and Kazuya are (about) 11ish? So not canon but the story wouldn't exactly work if it was. Can you imagine a twelve year old boy wanting to befriend a six year old girl? Not to mention obssess about her later in life? Eww.
Pleeease review! It's what makes me want to update! Please!
