Disclaimer: I don't own Dead or Alive; Tecmo, Team Ninja, and X-box own it.
A.N.- thanks for the reviews; even if there are only two……… at least I got reviews. I said it before and I'll say it again: It's still a Hitomi/Hayate fic. Some other couples might be introduced later.
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. That I know of.
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 2
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Hitomi and Ein walked back to her house in silence. Hitomi knew that the DOA tournament would be coming up in five months, and when it did Ein would leave, maybe forever. She had grown feelings for him, but she didn't want to admit it until she found out how he felt about her.
She looked over at Ein. He had suffered so much, his memory was lost, his past clouded, he lost his family, and a large amount of blood. She winced at the memory of his bloody body.
Her thoughts were interrupted when she felt a chain hit her back with immense force. She couldn't help but scream in pain. Ein caught her right when she was about to hit the ground.
After setting her down Ein confronted the assailant, "Who are you?"
Five people stepped out of the shadows. Instead of answering they attacked Ein, causing him to fall back. As he skidded across the ground he pressed his palm onto the sidewalk, causing him to flip up and land on his feet.
The first lunged at him but Ein caught his two fists and flipped him over his back. Another flipped out a switch-blade and attacked Ein. It was micrometers from his skin when he disappeared, leaving dead leaves where he once stood. The hood stood up in confusion, "What the hell?"
He felt a sharp pain on the back of his neck. Seeing what Ein just did the thee who were left looked on in amazement, "How'd he do that?"
Ein was just as surprised. The fight was over, the three that were left scrambled off, not wanting to find out what else Ein had up his sleeve. Ein walked over to Hitomi who was still wincing in pain.

Hitomi woke up seeing Ein asleep in a chair next to her bed. She remembered watching him fight, using a style that she had never seen before. She also remembered when he teleported, she had no clue what happened. She just knew that it had to do with Ein's past and he used it with his instincts.
Hitomi's mother walked in, "Oh, I'm so glad you're all right. Ein carried you in last night, if it weren't for him you could be………"
Hitomi watched her mother shiver at the thought of her only child dying. Hitomi was pissed off for getting beaten by a mere street fighter. The street-style was the most disorganized and cowardly fighting style that existed, thus increasing the shame.

A month had passed. Ein was sitting in Hitomi's living room. He was feeling lousy for imposing on her family to take him in. He had to leave soon, right away. He got up and went to the guest room that he was staying in. He packed up the things that he had bought in the last month. As he threw thing into the bag he ran across a picture of him and Hitomi.
Tears were brought to his eyes when he realized what he was leaving behind. He hadn't known it before, but he loved Hitomi. All the time they had spent together brought them closer.
Ein put the picture into his wallet and began stuffing the last of his things in his bag and left the room. He was about to go out the door, when he felt his heart ache. He walked to Hitomi's room, he quietly stood at the side of her bed and began stroking her brown, silky hair, "Goodbye."
Ein leaned over and kissed her forehead, and before leaving, took one last look at the one he loved, no one would ever replace her.

A.N.- okay, I can't explain why there are no hospitals. But anyway, I'll put up the next chapter soon.
Too much mushy stuff this chapter, yeah. But in the next chapter Helena will show up, and maybe Leon.
