DOA Legacy:
Chapter 18-Back Again...
After the tournament everyone was packed up and sent back to the tropical island that had been on before. Both the crew and I, along
with the nine competitors, were extremely happy about this arrangement. After all, if DOA Legacy didn't continue I would have been
out of a job.
It was near sunset when the four guys arrived at the beach. The sky was a beautiful mix of orange and pink and the sun was now more
of an orangey yellow. The surface of the ocean was glimmering and reflecting light. The guys smiled. "Wow...". "...it's...".
"...beautiful...". Jann Lee, Hayate, and Ryu said. They had all been thinking the same thing.
Zack then cut in one the supposed perfect moment, "Where are da girls?". The other three guys whipped their heads around to look at
Zack. They all had confused looks on their faces. "He's right, I hate to admit it, but he's right...". Jann Lee said.
Apparently the girls had been delayed and would get there shortly. The guys seemed relieved, they didn't want to spend their time at a
tropical paradise with only guys. Soon the guys all went their separate ways, they needed some time alone to think of what had
happened before the tournament.
Ryu, Jann Lee, and Zack had left things unfinished with the girls. Ryu walked back over on the right side of the beach, where he and
Kasumi and almost kissed. Ryu crossed his arms and looked out at the sparkling ocean, remembering what had happened in his mind.
He then slowly opened his eyes. "Kasumi...".
Soft footsteps were heard in the sand, Ryu had sensed her presence. She smiled sweetly. "How did you know I would be here?".
Questioned Ryu, who was still looking out at the ocean. Kasumi then walked over beside Ryu and looked out at the ocean as well. "It's
where we were when we had to leave...".
Ryu then turned to face her. "Nothing can come from this Kasumi. You are Hayate's sister and he is my best friend. I cannot betray that
trust.". Kasumi looked into his eyes. "But you can betray your heart?...". Both stood in silence, looking out at the ocean. Ryu didn't
answer Kasumi's question, but his silence was as good as any answer. "So that's it then? I...I have to go...".
Kasumi then started to walk away from him, he quickly turned and caught her wrist with his hand. "Kasumi...". Kasumi gently pulled
her hand free. "It's ok Ryu...You don't have to say anything...I get it ok? I...I'll...I'll leave you alone...". Kasumi then disappeared in a
swirl of milky pink cherry blossom petals. Ryu reached his hand out to stop her, but all he pulled back was a small pink petal.
"Delicate. Soft. Beautiful. Just like her...". Ryu held the petal tightly in his hand. He closed his eyes and let the gentle breeze blow
through his silky long hair.
Ryu opened his eyes and looked back at the small petal, he then let it drop to the sand. Ryu then disappeared in a swirl of green leaves,
in an instant he was gone. He needed time to think...and to be alone.
Hayate smiled when he saw Ayane walking towards him. He hugged her tightly and then held her at arms length. "Are you ok?".
Hayate asked gently. Ayane smiled sweetly. "Of course. I'm fine.". Hayate raised his brow. Kasumi then appeared in a swirl of milky
pink petals. Hayate smiled and hugged her as well. "Kas do you know where Ryu is?". She shook her head. "No, I haven't seen him
since a few minutes ago...". Hayate didn't understand, he thought that Kasumi would know for sure where he crush was. "Ok
then...Guess we should all be getting some sleep, it was a long trip on top of the tournament. Good night Ayane, good night Kasumi.".
"Good night Hayate.". Both sisters said in unison as Kasumi and Ayane walked into their room. Hayate entered his room to find Ryu
was already in there. "So here's where you disappeared to.". Ryu just smiled.
Once back, Tina had gone straight for her room and a shower. "Mmmm...Ah can't wait ta get into the shower...." She smiled and
dropped her clothes at the bathroom door. She slowly turned the water on and stepped inside the shower, sliding the glass door closed
behind her. She closed her eyes as the warm water rushed over her and slowly ran her fingers through her wet golden blond hair.
Zack had sat down outside of the resort, he had looked all over the place for Tea. She was no where to be found. "She left...". Helena
said as she sat down beside him. Zack sighed. "I know. Right after we left she was called back to work. You think I'll ever see her
again Helena?". Helena smiled sympathetically. "I don't know Zack, but life is strange that way. You never know what's really going to
happen, you just have to take it as it comes...". Helena then got up and went back to her room.
Zack got up and looked up at the sky, he now knew the answer to his question. "Good bye Tea...Good bye...". Zack then walked slowly
back to his room. He knew that he wouldn't see her again, he knew...
Meanwhile, Jann Lee was still on the beach looking out at the setting sun. "It's beautiful...". A voice said from behind him. Jann Lee
turned around to find himself face to face with Lei-Fang. "Yeah...It is...".
Lei-Fang then giggled, "So, I gave you a hard fight at the tournament?". Jann Lee raised his brow. "Not at all. I'm still stronger than
you.". "Prove it.". Lei-Fang said smiling. Jann Lee grinned confidently and raised his arm to attack her, she blocked it and went at his
legs. He jumped and sent a kick her way, Lei-Fang dodged by doing a backwards cartwheel. Jann Lee then did something unexpected
and tripped Lei-Fang's feet, sending her falling to the soft sand.
Lei-Fang landed on her back. "No fair Jann!". Jann Lee just smiled. I knew you couldn't beat me. Huh? Whoa!". While Jann Lee had
spoken so confidently, Lei-Fang had wrapped her legs around his and had knocked him off balance. He fell on top of her and then
Lei-Fang started to giggle.
Jann Lee blushed slightly and then smiled. He had an arm of each side of her and Lei-Fang had her palms pressed against his muscled
chest. Lei-Fang stopped giggling when she noticed him staring into her eyes. "Jann?...". He just smiled and soon found his hand
reaching out to her face. Lei-Fang closed her eyes when she felt Jann Lee's hand on the side of her face. She melted into his touch and
Jann Lee just smiled. Her skin was so soft and warm. "You're so beautiful...".
Lei-Fang's eyes then suddenly opened, she didn't expect him to say that. Her eyes were filled with confusion. Jann Lee leaned in closer
to her. "Jann what are you doing?". Lei-Fang asked, finding herself not wanting to move away. "I...I don't know...It just...It just feels
right...". Their eyes closed as their lips met and were pulled into a soft passionate kiss. Lei-Fang wrapped her arms around his neck and
pulled him closer to her. He was right, whatever was going on...It just felt right.
Jann Lee then slowly rolled onto his back so that Lei-Fang was now on top of him. The soft kiss had now turned into a hot fiery one.
Jann Lee's arm wrapped around her waist and the other hand gently moved down her back. Eventually the two pulled away, desperate
for air. Each just as shocked as the other.
They were both staring into each others eyes when Jann Lee smiled. "Wow...". Lei-Fang returned the smile. "Yeah...Wow...". "We
should...". Jann Lee started. "...go back to the resort...". Lei-Fang continued.
The two rivals layed there one the sand for a few more minutes before they both walked back to the resort and went to their own
rooms, smiling like crazy.
"Yo man! What's with the happy go lucky grin on ya face?". Zack questioned his room mate Jann Lee. "Shut up!". Jann Lee said as he
headed for the shower. Zack raised his brow. "Hmmm...He never just says two words...Ok, I'm a little scared right now...". Zack
looked around nervously. "What could have happened for him to be in a day dream?...". If Zack only knew.
Lei-Fang walked into her room and sighed happily as she layed down on her bed. "Jann...". She said softly as she closed her eyes and
smiled, remembering the whole incident down on the beach. It had been perfect. The had set as they kissed their very first kiss. Who
knew that rivals could be something more....
