A.N.- I have learned how to use HTML and put single spacing in between lines at the same time! Please review. Also for this chapter keep in mind that I have only played DOA3, I do not know who was in DOA1, the only person I'm sure that Bayman was in it. I haven't been able to update on account of FF.net being down. Also, remember that this is a really crummy filler chapter.
Forevermore- Thanks for telling me about that mistake I made; I got a chance to fix it before too many people noticed it. Also, thanks for putting some Hitomi/Hayate stuff in your fic. Hope more people write Hitomi/Hayate fics soon.
Joe- Thanks for not flaming yet; I just want to ask you not to flame yet. I'd appreciate it if you waited until I get at least forty good reviews. Also, make sure when you flame it has some constructive criticism and that it's not a barrage of insults. The same goes for all other flamers. I'm a fairly new at writer, who has recently changed their writing style. So basically, I'm still trying to find the right way to do things and I don't want to be discouraged from writing.
Kochan- Thanks for telling me how to do single spacing. Lousy Microsoft Word...
Hitomi a.k.a. Gum a.k.a. Casey- Thanks a lot!!! I've only played DOA3 also, so I'm surprised I'm doing this cause I hafta do all of this research for it and I've been staying up until like 12:00pm during Christmas break doing research and writing. So I recommend getting lots of sleep and have lots of coffee. Naw, just kidding, it's really not that grueling, but be prepared for research. Anyways, tell me when your fic is up. So far there are only two fics that have any Hitomi/Ein stuff in them, my fic and Forevermore's "That's Life" fic.
Our Past, Our Future
Chapter 12
By: Joey/Mai fan15
Hitomi sat down at her seat on the plane en route to Japan. She was on her way to DOATEC HQ to sign up for the tournament and get time date and time for the qualifying rounds. Ein would be there too, she finally could see him again, after a whole year. She suddenly became nervous.
She was going to tell Ein that she loved him, but what if he didn't return her feelings? It'd probably ruin their friendship. Hitomi decided that she shouldn't worry about that now, let the moment go on haphazardly.
The more she thought about the upcoming tournament, the more she became nervous. The time that she thought Ein was dead scared her because she realized that death was a possibility.
Hitomi looked out the window and up at the stars that lit the night sky as the plane began to take off. They reminded her of Ein's eyes. Everything reminded her of Ein recently, she couldn't wait to see him again. She fell asleep, memories, as usual, came to her.

Ein stood in front of his class watching every single movement each one of them made; making sure every move the students made were at peak perfection. Hitomi could see the student's expressions, a mixture of frustration and determination.
Ein's class was the most difficult one, save Hitomi's father's. The student's always found it frustrating to try to please Ein, but they were pretty good at fighting, with Ein's help of course.
"Time's up, go home and practice!" the class collapsed and there were various complaints about having homework. The students could barely stand up as they stumbled out the door.
"You don't want to train them too hard, they'll be better than you soon," teased Hitomi.
"Not anytime soon, they barely have any stamina," replied Ein.
"Not everyone can live up to your standards, Ein," she said.
"You're exceed my standards," whispered Ein as he walked upstairs to his office.
Hitomi's face turned red. Her father walked in to start her private lesson, "Come on, Hitomi. Get ready, quickly!"
Hitomi took off her shoes and took her spot, opposite her father.

Hayate, Ryu, and Ayane arrived at DOATEC HQ to pick up necessary equipment for the tournament; cell phones, schedules, and cash for plane tickets. They didn't need to stay for the qualifying rounds because people who participated in the last tournament were automatically qualified. Hayate just needed to fill out a form stating his changes.
The moment Hayate left to take care of the papers Ayane felt the need to talk to Ryu, "Does Hayate know yet?"
"No, I haven't told him yet, I don't think we should. My job is to protect Kasumi when she needs it, and he doesn't want any distractions. Besides he has enough crap to deal with as it is," replied Hayabusa.
"We have to tell him sometime," argued Ayane.
"When the time's right," was all he could say.
The couple turned their attention to the early-birds who were already showing off their skills, which were still amateur compared to theirs. There were a few talented fighters among the sparse group. One of whom they knew from the first tournament.
"When will it be the right time?" asked Ayane.
"Probably when this whole ordeal with Kasumi breaking the code of the Shinobi is over with," he replied.
Ayane sighed, "The only way for that to happen would to be for Kasumi to get caught or to return home."
"If she returns, she'll face the same rejection as you did when you were part of the Shinobi clan," replied Ryu, "I can't let her get killed either, I made a promise to Hayate that I wouldn't let any harm come to his sister."
"I wish there would be another way," replied Ayane.
"There is," he answered, "but Hayate has no incentive."
Ayane looked up at her boyfriend. She knew better than to ask what that way was, the look on his face told her not to. She never knew if it meant that he really didn't know or that he just didn't want to tell. The two directed their atteniton back to the fighters.
Hayabusa's vow to protect Kasumi was separating them. But he was a man of his word and would never let anything stand between him and his promise, not even Ayane herself. That's why she had turned down the various requests to retry her assassination attempt on Kasumi. Ryu's promise might kill him before Kasumi is caught.
Ayane looked over at her brother, Hayate, who was still oblivious to her relationship to Hayabusa. If he knew about it he'd probably let Hayabusa go back on his promise, either in fear of interference with his job or to make sure that she didn't have to suffer if Hayabusa was killed in the crossfire between Kasumi and the Shinobi.
Hayate arrived from re-registering and the group headed off to check into a hotel.
