A Tale of Two Seeds
Chapter 4 – Lovers Meet
Jun Kazama slowly stretches out her slightly sore muscles in preparation for her next match. It has been four days since the tournament started, and she has faired well in all of her matches. Today might be different. She looks at her opponent across the fighting area and makes a quick assessment of her fighting skills. The tall blonde is slowly pacing back and forth muttering to herself. Jun can tell that unlike her previous matches this one is going to be tough. This woman is a trained professional and Jun knows that she must be on her guard.
The call for the match to begin comes sooner than expected. "JUN KAZAMA verses NINA WILLIAMS" Both combatants step into the middle of the large circle set aside for this match. Jun bows slowly while keeping one eye trained on her opponent. The other just waves her hand and sarcastically says, "Lets get this over with!"
"FIGHT!"
Jun takes a quick step back to try and judge her opponents fighting style. She didn't have long to wait, because Nina suddenly steps in with a flurry of high punches that send Jun sailing back across the field. Jun falls to one knee. Looking up she sees Nina start to do a complete flip toward her. "That's a mistake", thinks Jun as she quickly stands and using a move that Wang had shown her years before, grabs the side of her opponents leg and sends her quickly into the ground. Then she puts a fist smack into Nina's gut.
"Bitch you'll die for that," Nina states as she rolls back and away from Jun.
Without batting an eye Jun quickly turns up the pressure and begins a series of attacks designed to confuse her opponent. Low sweep, high punch, high punch, sweep again...... the moves sing out, but Nina adeptly blocks every attack. Nina's guard appears to drop for an instant and Jun throws out a quick high punch that is sure to put Nina at a disadvantage. The punch sails straight and true, right into the waiting arms of the female assassin. Jun's arm is carried high into the air as Nina steps under and flips Jun to the ground. Jun looks up just in time to see Nina's heel rushing toward her face. She rolls away almost in time and Nina's heel barely hits the back of her head. Nina doesn't miss a step as she rushes in toward seemingly helpless Jun, but Jun is ready. As Nina approaches Jun quickly rushes forward and connects with a massive uppercut that sends Nina high into the air. Jun continues to attack while her opponent is still flying through the air. A quick high punch is followed by a low sweep keeps Nina floating and Jun continues with another punch and then a roundhouse kick that sends Nina hard into the ground. Upon impact assassin is stunned and she lays there for one second too long as Jun flips sideways and lands directly on Nina's chest. A moan escapes from Nina's lips and Jun instantly feels sorry for her opponent. She knows that she had broken at least two ribs and might have punctured a lung. She turned and walks away from her opponent back toward her starting point. She knows that the medics will tend to Nina's wounds.
"BITCH!!!!!!!! THIS ISN'T OVER YET!!!!!!!!!"
At the sound of Nina's angry voice Jun turns and sees the glint of a knife in her hand. From this distance Jun knows she doesn't stand a chance and prepares herself to take the blow. It never lands. From behind Nina a large form appears. An arm wraps around the back of her neck and flips her over onto the ground. He then picks her up and brings one foot up and slaps it across one side of her face then back across the other side. The force of the blow sends Nina to the ground.
"It's him!" thinks Jun.
The large man calls two guards over to hold Nina up. He slaps her once across the face to wake her up. Jun leans in closer to here what he says next.
"I know why you are here," he whispers. "Did you really think you could kill me. ME!"
"Rot in hell, Kazuya." A drop of blood dribbles off the corner of her lips. Kazuya wipes the blood slowly across Nina's cheek. A cold smile distorts the features of his face.
"You first!"
Jun looks on in horror as Kazuya's fist begins to glow, no it doesn't just glow it seems to writhe with energy. He steps back to deliver the final blow. At that moment Jun makes a decision.
"NO! YOU CAN'T!"
Reaching out she wraps her arms about Kazuya's electrified arm and instantly the electricity dissipates into nothing. Anger seething from every pore Kazuya turns, "HOW DARE...........you"
Jun preparing for the worst, looks directly into Kazuya's eyes and sees a myriad of emotions cross his face. First anger than confusion and then.........was that fear she could see play across his eyes. A coldness then radiates from him and something seems to lock up inside. Turning to his guards Kazuya orders them to take the assassin to a holding cell.
Turning calmly to Jun, "Never...........do that again."
"You were going to kill her!"
"She would have killed me first. Why do you think she was here? She is an assassin that was hired to kill me and, she would have killed you as well if I had not interfered. Why would you even want to save a person such as her?"
With a smile Jun steps closer to Kazuya, puts her hand on his arm and whispers quietly,
"There is good in everyone. For some it is just harder to find."
Looking down at her hand on his arm he quickly takes a step back, turns and walks away.
Jun looks at his retreating form and hears him mutter under his breath, "There is no good in me."
