A/N: To the Guest (Vive La France) thank you for reading my fiction. & yes I would take criticism positively. it makes me write & devote myself better. I would reply to people but I don't know how to reply to Guests that come here. that reminds me i'll put an explanation at the end of this chapter. feel free to give a message. really I don't bite & honestly none of the characters will suffer either. :) it has been known since a few chapters that Jun cannot control her powers, she's a newbie to it, but tries. kazuya knows that she has trouble with her powers, cause he can see it & does tell her. which is why he also tells her not to use any of her abilities cause she might really hurt people as she did in lee's lab. kazuya went to the tournament just to face his old man, & since heihachi wasn't there he found an excuse to exit, but couldn't tell Jun about it, b/c it was kinda mean of him just to consider his goals & not hers. Coming to Nina Williams: according to the story after Jin went missing she was functioning the ziabatsu which is responsible for organizing TKOFT. Jun entered as her name. its pretty easy to find connections when your last name is the same. all she did was follow them. Overall, I apologize if the previous chapter wasn't upto how you normally prefer my fics. It was hard for me to place it all under one roof. thank you for being patient with me. :) :) :*

Thus coming to my second update of the week. Spoilers this chapter does have a slight M rated scene. & there is a small time skip of days, so please don't kill me. & I'll just leave this here.


Nina was surprised at how much of an impact Jun had on him. She had worked with Jin Kazama for some time now, enough to realize that within this hard shell of an exterior he was like an adorable, cuddly, plush toy. This was further reinforced after the little chiding from mama bear about his recent term of behaviour. Nina had always seen the well-managed, tough, on-top-of-things, Mr Kazama. Not the big googly, wet eyes, 10-year-old-kid-who-never-grew-up, Jin Kazama. The puffed with conceit Jin, who could do no wrong, was turned into a puddle of goop. That must mean that, somewhere deep beneath the ocean mermaids can be found, Pluto is an actual planet, heaven and hell do exist.

It could be perhaps the sudden loss of his mother at an early stage, left him in a state of confusion when it came to mourning for her. The strong attachment between these two shows the immense trust and blind faith he had in her; she's like a safety net, always ready to catch him when he falls. Which is probably why she's the only one who could crack that shell of his and look past the mask he wears. But from his perspective fear and happiness were like the size of a ring in a desert for this boy. She's the one who could bring a genuine smile to his face, yet he was scared to disappoint her also wanting to keep her absolutely out of harm's way.

They were in there for quite a while. Whatever it was they were talking about, was in soft muffled voices. Nina waited for them to be done so she leaned towards the wall adjacent to the door. After the mother and Son's conversation was over she stomped out of the house without even noticing Nina. Kazuya saw her leave; judging by her clenched hands and raised nostrils, things did not go so well with Jin. Kazuya followed Jun in hopes of consoling her while Nina entered Jin's room after his mother had left and gave a slight giggle while shaking her head.

'What's so funny?' while drinking a glass of water.

'your mother is quite a woman.' trying to take in the environment around her. 'so what did you guys talk about?' she knew that was a personal and territory-passing question. But she had to know specially after the look Jun gave her. It was very palpable that to her the blonde lady is the one who's riding her baby boy with lap dancing as a side dish. Nina could have told her about her own son, similar to Jin's age, but that would have made things worse.

'you.' he smirked. Wow he knew what he was doing. Keeping her in suspense, it's not pleasant to do that to a lady.

'Did she buy it?'

'nope.' thought so. Personal prostitute it is.

'Did she bring you here?'

'Yeah' answered after clearing his throat.

'So it's her house?' reconfirming or trying to lead him in a certain direction.

'I-' he wasn't sure. Clearly visible.

'Never mind that question. What is... Kazuya doing here?'

He thought of a correct word, based on what his mother had told him 'he helped her find me.'

'And is this helping still in process?'

'I doubt it, he's out of the picture now.' he was so confident about it, as if it were actually true.

His assistant smiled in a straight line ' is that what you think or you're actually sure about it?'

'I'm sure about it.' She raised an eyebrow at him. The indication of really? 'I am. Mom herself told me that she went to the tournament to win the prize money. You must have seen her there too.'

'Oh I did' she nodded '& saw something else there too' raised eyebrows contoured a big question mark on his face. 'The spark between a couple reunited is something, truly worth seeing.' she grabbed the chair which was kept in a corner, of the room and bought it close to his bed.

'So she was his tag partner, that doesn't mean there's something going on between them.' He wasn't going to admit it anytime soon.

'no of course not.' Nina could tell that he didn't like hearing anything bad about his mother; if Kazuya was a part their lives or was somewhat close to Jun. He wasn't ready to take it. 'I'm just saying: both of them look cute working together.'

'They? No –She; doesn't like him, if that's what you're thinking. No. She's over him.' A mix of panic & frustration slowly began to rise; Nina sighed when she saw this change in him. Fairly, she didn't want him to be in the dark. If his enemy was coming closer to him for any reason due to whatever means, she wanted him to be prepared. She knew how much Kazuya's presence irritated the life out of Jin, which is why 'good terms' with this person wasn't going to happen anytime this year. This brings her to wonder if now maybe the right time to tell him that Kazuya plans to fund Jun secretly. Not likely such a good idea. That would just add fuel to the fire, especially now since Jin was in a bad condition. So she decided to keep it to herself; although noticing Kazuya sudden change, Nina lightly smiled at her boss's failure to see that his parents might have more than just an attraction towards each other.

'I'm just reporting what I saw. Anyways, I'll keep in touch, visit you daily; just be careful, keep your eyes open okay?' as she got up he stopped her again.

'I want you to keep an eye on his accounts. Where the money goes, how much and to whom. I want every update.'

Oh shit, that's going to be a problem 'Alright' she gulped. Maybe he did know about Kazuya's shenanigans, but somehow didn't expect his mother to get involved in it, or knew about that too and doesn't accept it.


For next few days Nina did just that. She kept him posted on kazuya & the G-Corp's actions, while Jin received physiotherapy, a balanced diet & a lot of water of the mystic springs to help him heal. As a new day came along there were more changes happening in Jun & Kazuya. For instance, Kazuya would barely go to G-Corp HQ anymore instead he would spend most of his nights at the cabin. While talking to Jun he would stand a lot closer to her now, so much so that (when standing sideways) their elbows would continuously collide. He would find the stupidest excuse to grab her hand, & she wouldn't even fidget away.

When Jin had managed well around crutches, he was more mobile around the house. Which meant he could come to the table, so that they may eat food together. It's one thing that when your parent pays attention to you & another thing when your parents are completely lost in this world web of conversation with never ending dooey eyes & yearning looks at each other which obviously made their boy uncomfortable; to an extent that Kazuya didn't even notice Jin sitting an inch away from him.

Jun didn't completely ignore Jin. She would talk & spend time with him, but whenever that time of the day came Kazuya join her in the room. WHY? He wasn't part of their boy's life. Jin doubted that he was even interested; but he would sit there & wait for her. At times like these he actually missed Kazuya's insults & faces which were made towards him, instead he had a blank face every time he entered & STILL did not look at Jin. His folks would come in together & leave the room together. After which he could still hear them outside talking in muffled voices with a few giggles.

If this was kazuya's plot: getting close to Jun so that when Jin begins to trust him he can stab him in the back. Then a foolish attempt it was. But that's how Jin could interpret it. However, the two love birds were slowly slipping one their own, without really being aware of it. In kazuya's eyes Jun didn't see him as a sadistic monster-with-no-hope-for-return. She treated & talked to him in the same manner that she used to so many years ago. It was as if she saw him for someone better, someone more human.

In truth Jun did not trust him at first, but she began to & she wasn't disappointed. These two could sit quietly in a room & still understand each other. Who said that whatever happened between them was a mistake?

I really hope Nina was wrong.


He stood in water, the level just below his knees. Was it a puddle, lake or the sea, he didn't know. Looked around nothing could be seen for miles. Only the sky turning from pink to violet and the water turning dark. He started hearing an echo, of his name. A woman calling out to him. He recognized that voice that's pleasing voice was Jun. He turned around to see a ghostly white woman standing in the distance; covered in purplish patches and familiar luminous eyes as unknown holding her hand out for him, unknown's face with Jun's voice was calling him, pleading him to help her begging to be saved.

As he began to approach her his heart raced when he noticed that she was sinking; like quicksand, slowly little by little. He began to run. When he reached her, she was already waist deep. He tried to pull but was no use, eventually when she got inside fully he was being pulled along with her as well. When she began slipping from his hands it was like there was a choice to make. The force pulling her was too strong.

He held onto her from her arms as the slipping started. 'Hold on' he moved his mouth but no voice came out. The worry in her eyes diminished. Could she hear him under water?

She cupped his face with one of her hands & said 'don't give up on me.' A voiceless message just before she was completely out of his hands. After the ghostly white face vanished underneath the darkness of the bottomless sea; He put all his strength in a scream, pushed & forced his voice out on the feeling of distress. Until a sound, his sound-scream was audible to him.

From the watery paradise he came back to reality. A nightmare? His forehead & palms sweaty, heartbeat escalated & the feeling of his stomach drop during that dream was suffocating him. He scrambled for his phone & checked the time to be 4 in the morning. What a time to have a stupid dream. He hoped he hadn't woken up the other two in the cabin from his screaming. Kazuya had a nightmare? That hasn't happened in years. This was silly to him & he thought of getting some fresh air near the spring, perhaps that would clear his mind. Just a few minutes' walk, it would do him good.

He dumped his phone in the room & quietly sneaked out of the house. Finding it even with his eyes closed wasn't anything hard. He decided to go to the Mouth of the waterfall present at the top of the spring. It would be relaxing and mind clearing if he could take a dip. To his honesty he didn't know that the spring would be occupied by something else at this time or was it by someone; the shriek caught him by surprize.

Wiping the water from over his eyes, even in the faded moonlight, hidden by the clouds, he saw that he was sharing the pool with the woman he had just dreamt about. 'Jun?!' he focused more; clearly identifying the woman covering her breasts with her arm over them, to be the very same. Even though nothing was visible. 'Do you have any idea what time it is?'

'I could ask you the same, why're you here?

'What the hell are you doing here?'

'Something private; which requires water.' He knew she meant bathing & since he invaded her privacy, could he at least apologize & leave?

'Oh well then' he relaxed his shoulders. 'No point in hiding it, nothing I haven't seen before.' Yeah no. He was staying.

So she rolled her eyes & swam behind the curtain i.e. the waterfall. She still felt embarrassed & wanted her space at the moment. She wasn't exactly hidden neither was she clear. He could make out from where her pale body started but couldn't make out the curves. While he washed his face with small splashes of water, she asked him 'so what brought you out here?'

'Bad dream.' A reflex answer. To which he later realized what a stupid move that was. Was he complaining about dreams? That wasn't how he rolled. He thought that he has somehow degraded himself in front of her. No woman finds a whiney man interesting. When she didn't reply he swam closer to the curtain; barely a foot & a half away, just the flow of water separating them. He could clearly see a black curvy line on her back or it looked that way because of the water. Thinking it might be a snake, he instantly pulled her by the arm.

'Hey ow.' She hissed in response.

Trying to grab the critter with his free hand but realizing it was something embedded in her skin, a wound still trying to heal. 'What's…?' indicating towards the wound.

It was something he hadn't seen on her, quite a nasty, big, bad wound. She licked her lips before she answered. 'Oh that's, old; happened around when my house got burned.' She was referring to when ogre attacked.

'When Jin ran?'

'Yes' her confirmation ignited a huge neon sign in his head stating coward. 'I told him to run & hide.'

'Why would you do that?' Jin should have stayed and fought alongside his mother; he shouldn't have ran.

'He was what? Probably 15 when it happened Kazuya. He's my child, I had to look out for him. Comes with the whole package of being a parent: we protect our kids.' She tried to explain to him how her super mother instinct came to life at that moment. As she did what she thought was right. But obviously Kazuya couldn't comprehend it.

'That's still not-' it means he's been wrongfully accusing Jin? he didn't want to be wrong about Jin. Fucking Hell!

She swam behind the curtain again before he could finish and he followed her; at the back of the curtain, there was comparatively less water if one proceeded towards the wall of the waterfall, but they stayed in shoulder deep.

'I'm so glad Jin ran that night because if we both were there, one of us wouldn't have been present today.' She stopped swimming till the water was right above her breasts & he came about an arm's length away from her. 'And I don't want to live in a world without my son. He's all the memory of someone I have left.' she gave him a pleasant smile and began to turn towards the wall. Knowing that she meant him; his heart flipped in his chest. He grabbed one of her wrists & pulled her towards him, while his other hand snaked around her stomach to press her back against his chest.

He applied open mouth kisses to her shoulder, the taste of water yet the essence of vanilla & coconut invading his senses. Her breathes became short as she felt his length grinding against the curvature of her ass. Slowing, unnoticed the arm around her stomach slithers down to her core. 'Kaz…uya' barely above a whisper.

'There's a limit to being unreasonable Jun.' his voice heavy with arousal as he begins rubbing her clit. 'How long were you going to punish me?' His voice is really having a bad effect on her. She can't help but arch her back when her body gives in to his fingers. Her head on his shoulders gives him an opportunity to attack her neck, nipped, kissed & sucked. She had a bite her lip to stop herself from moaning. Was this really happening after so many years, even when her hand threaded through his hair she couldn't believe it.

This little was short lived when kazuya removed his hand from her clit to her cover her mouth. She was confused as to what was happening, but he gave her a low shh in her ear & said 'it's him.' She tried to look at whom had he mentioned. But the waterfall was sort of blocking her view. It was until something dark spread horizontally quite far, she realized that they were wings, black wings. A creature with black wings sitting beyond the waterfall, waiting on the rock of the spring like a predator. It scanned the area & listened. When it couldn't find the thing what was needed, it flapped it's wings & zoomed off.

That was something. Enough of a distraction for Jun to free her wrist & turn around to face kazuya. She looped her arms around his neck & pressed her lips against his. He tilted his head to deepen the kiss, lapping their tongues against each other. He willing bought her closer so that she could sense exactly how much he missed her while he could feel her hard nipples rubbing against his chest, the feeling made him groan. They kissed until they came up for breath. Their heads still joint & noses slightly bumming. 'I still love you.' He says a statement that has been wandering in his mind since the day he saw her again. He's been wanting to tell her for a while now.

She backs her head to look straight at him. No trickery in his eyes, no deceit in his voice. There's no denying it that he truly loves her. She cups his cheek ready to tell him her secret, but not sure of what he would think. But he has to know. Trying to calm her heart, she mentally counts to three & just lets it out.

'I'm dying…'


A/N: Could you guess the mystery character that has suddenly emerged? hint: name starts with a 'D' ends with a 'N' ;) ;)

for what Jun says in the end, remember... there's always a reason. so y'all keep down em pitchforks, please.

Nina does want Jin's safety but also can't believe Kazuya has turned soft for a chick, which is why she didn't tell Jin about him, & no she won't back stab Jin either.

Jin's over protective side slightly shows here & also if Kazuya does become nice Jin doesn't want to believe in it.

Reviews are always appretiated :D
