Chapter Three – The Third Month

Jun walked into the shopping centre, glancing around nervously as she entered. She still didn't like coming into the town, but she had run out of food and shampoo, so she really needed to come here.

She walked to the food shop first, buying the food she needed (it wasn't much, she could always come back if she wanted anything else), and then went to the chemists to get some more shampoo and conditioner.

The clerk (a teenage boy with an unfortunate case of acne and bright red hair), caught her eye and smiled. Jun smiled back, but quickly turned away and started searching the shelves. She found herself searching through large amounts of shampoo, trying to find the sort that she liked. It was hidden on the back of one shelf, and when she had finally retrieved it she realised that the boy who had been the clerk mere minutes before, had been replaced by a familiar face.

The magazine-reading girl who had sold her the pregnancy test all those months ago was sitting at the counter, chewing on a wad of bubblegum. Jun faltered, the two bottles in her hand pressed against her chest. She took a deep breath and headed for the counter, hoping to God the young woman wouldn't recognise her.

"That'll be 27 dollars and 50 cents," the girl said in a bored voice, pressing two buttons on the cash register.

Jun handed the money over, not quite meeting the girl's eye. She glanced towards the counter slightly, and groaned internally when she caught the girl's interested look.

"Thank you," Jun said, the first words she had spoken to another human in three months, grabbing the shampoo and conditioner and backed away slightly.

"Just a sec," the girl said, reaching out and putting a hand on Jun's wrist. "I remember you."

"How funny," Jun said, a nervous laugh escaping her. "Why would you remember me?"

The girl ignored her question. "Well? What was it?"

Jun tried to pull away, but the girl kept a tight grip on her wrist. "What was what?" Jun asked, casting a desperate look towards the entrance (and exit) of the chemist.

"Was the test positive or negative?" the girl asked patiently.

Jun stopped and stared at the girl. There was a powerful curiosity on her young face, along with a simple knowing Jun had never seen before.

"It was positive," she said in a low whisper. The girl let go of her wrist and smiled.

"I thought it would be."

Jun left as quickly as she could, clutching the bags in her arms. She rushed back to the bus, conscious of the people looking at her as she passed by. She ducked her head and sat in the back of the bus on the journey back home.

Once there she ran into the kitchen and threw the bags on the counter, knowing there was nothing in there that could break. She ran into her bedroom and dived into her bed, tears already flooding her eyes.

I thought it would be.

Was the girl psychic? Blessed without even knowing it? Jun didn't know, but in the moment before the girl had released her wrist, Jun had seen an image, an image she knew couldn't be true.

It had been a vision of Kazuya. He had been wearing a white shirt, two of the buttons loose at his neck, tucked into black trousers. He had been reading through a file, his mouth set in a hard, thin line. His left eye had been glowing bright red, and he had had scars beneath his eyes. The file he had been holding had a logo in the top left-hand corner, an emblazoned, green 'G'. Suddenly Kazuya had stiffened. He had slowly raised his head, and looked right at her.

Jun sobbed, shaking her head back and forth as she clutched at her pillow. The image had been so clear, so real. She felt she could have reached out and touched him. Her heart, enlivened by the brief image of Kazuya, thumped hard in her chest. Her chest heaved and she let out a silent scream.

Eventually the tears died away, although the emotions didn't. She rolled over and stared at the ceiling, her cheeks wet and her eyes dry.

"He can't be alive," she whispered to herself. "Heihachi killed him. There's no way he could be alive."

Saying this aloud caused more emotions to stir up, and she embraced them. No more tears fell, but her heart ached anew. She sniffled quietly to herself and closed her eyes as her mind ran through all the memories she had of Kazuya. Jun suddenly let out a little whimper, opening her eyes and biting on her lip.

Another image suddenly occurred to her, this one conjured from her own psychic ability. It was of Heihachi carrying the body of Kazuya. She could only been able to see Heihachi's arms curled around Kazuya, before the image widened and she saw the whole picture. She let out a soft cry as she watched Heihachi's arms uncurl, releasing Kazuya, letting his only son, her lover, fall into the fiery depths of the volcano.

She sat upright, still biting on her lip. Her hand gently began to stroke her stomach again. She had seen two visions, and she was confused about which one to believe. She knew that Heihachi had killed Kazuya out of pure hate, but would he go so far as to throw his son's body into a volcano? And even though she knew Kazuya was dead, why did she suddenly feel that he was alive? The vision inspired by the girl in the chemist had probably been wishful thinking; all the details in it thought up by her own mind.

She lay back down on the bed, lazily stroking her stomach. She would believe neither of the visions. If would be best for her if she just forgot about them.


AN. Chapter three at an end. Poor Jun, sinking into a pit of dispair. Poor Kazzy, all alone with his shirt loosened (drool). Anyway, please review if you feel the urge, it would be very, very nice of you XD
