Chapter 9
-------
After a few minutes later K' had finally putted Kula down, and booth of them keep on walking, without saying a word, but Kula notice that K' was getting tense, she didn't know if it was because of the fact that they had fought with the USA team, or was something else, what ever it is, she didn't like it, it almost looks like he is returning back to his shell, Kula had to do something even if she had to delay the PLAN for a few moments. Lucky for them they were walking into one of those big NEOGEOLAND arcades buildings.
Kula grabs K' by the arm "Look K' it's a NEOGEOLAND!"
"So?"
"Well, I suddenly feel like playing some games. Come on!" and booth of them enters the NEOGEOLAND.
K' had no other choice but to follow her. "Crazy girl.
-------
Once inside they have notice that it was almost impossible for any to have room to walk, every were and every were there were arcades with a dozen of people around it, waiting for their turn to play the fabulous games made by the SNK. It was total pandemonium in there, there was practically no arcade that was free.
" Hey K' lets play this game!" called out Kula pointing to an arcade.
K' walked near to Kula and the arcade and readied the name of the game.
"Rage of the Dragon?"
"Yup. It is a fighting game, and you play two against two."
K' eyes susceptibly at Kula. "You know a lot about this game a long time now, haven't you?"
"Well, I've already played this Thursday when I was out with Mai and the girls. SO you wanna play?"
"Yeah, fine ……..whatever."
Kula inserted a coin, and they were starting the game, they were playing 1pl vs. 2pl mode, Kula had chosen Billy and Lynn, and K' had chosen Jimmy and Sonia. The first round started and Kula, playing has Lynn was kicking Sonia's butt, K was amazed that Kula was very good in a fighting game, of course she had the advantage because she had already played this game, and of course this is very the first time K' ever played a fighting game, this isn't as real as an real fight, so K' didn't gave much importance to the game, he had much things in his mind, that why he had chosen any characters he could get.
The first round has ended, with Kula has Lynn being the winner, Kula notice that K didn't give much of him in this fight, he was playing with out any interest, he was still disturbed with what ever he was thinking.
"This isn't working! What Am I going to do now?" thought Kula.
The second round is starting, and to replace Sonia came the second Character that K' had chosen, Jimmy. K' made some moves with the Keyboard and suddenly K' character has launched a fire ball at Kula's character, this has finally caught the attention of K'.
"Whoa, this guy also uses fire, like me."
K' made some more moves with the buttons of the Keyboard, and K's character was making what it looks like Terry's Burn Knuckle, but this burn Knuckle was made out of fire, and it hit Kula's character hard. When Lynn got up, K' made some other move, he made Jimmy Jump to the air with fire surrounding him, and it hit Lynn hard again. K' had a grin in his face, he was enjoying playing this. K' made some more moves and suddenly K' character was glowing in blue, or something like that, and he charged directly at Lynn, and made what it looks like a Power Geyser. This final move has made K' character win this round, in PERFECT.
Kula was chocked, this is the first time that anyone ever beat her in a round of Rage of the Dragon, she looked at K' and notice that he was getting excited about playing this game, Kula couldn't help but to smile at him.
The Final round is about to start and Kula's second character, Billy appeared.
"You are going down, little man!" challenged Kula.
"You and what army?" replied K'
Round 3 started and the two players started making a lot of moves with their keyboards, hoping to take down the others players character. A lot of teenager surrounded the couple and the arcade witch they were playing, watching in interest they way they were playing against each other. K' was playing in such intense that fire ring aura was surrounding his body, this was happening the same thing with Kula, except that it was icy aura surrounding her, the teenagers started to feel a little frightening about this so they back up a little, K' and Kula were playing so hard that it almost sounded like they were going to destroy the arcade machine.
A little far away from there a mysterious man was watching K' and Kula playing, but he was most likely watching Kula. He also had a white hair like K', but his skin was not has dark. He dressed almost like K' except that the colour of his outfit was red. His name, Ash Crisome. "My, my, she is hot. I can feel her aura, it is almost has powerful has mine, and the other guy is as strong has me, but I don't need him. I need to talk to her."
-------
K' has made Jimmy try again his "Power Geyser" at Kula's character, but she had made Billy defend against Jimmy's attack, and in the last moment, she made Billy do his blue Power Geyser, defeating Jimmy.
"DAMN!"
"YES! I WON! I'm a woman! Hear me roar!" cheered Kula.
"Oh, shut up!" murmured K'.
Suddenly Kula felt a hand on her shoulder. When she turn she had meet face to face with Ash Crisom. "You did well chere´, you beat that poor loser!"
K' glared angry at the stranger, wishing to break his neck, but he didn't know why, what it because of the fact that the stranger was insulting him or was it because he was making moves on Kula.
"Say chere´, would you like to play with me?" asked Ash in a seductive tone.
"No thanks. I'm a little tire of playing." Kula immediately answered.
"Well, Ok."
Kula grabbed K' by the arm and walk away from Ash, but K still gave him one last deadly glare. "I don't like that French moron. If I see him again, he's dead."
"Please K' take it easy! Don't mind him." Said Kula trying to calm down K'.
After a few moments, Kula and K' walked to a machine that had a microphone attach to it. It was a small Karaoke machine.
"Uau, a karaoke machine, I wanna try it! Do you want to try it K'?" asked Kula.
"No……. I'm going to find something to drink, I'll be right back."
After that K' walked away directly to a Coke-Cola machine to get a coke to drink, but all of this was just an excuse to be alone for a moment. Kula putted a coin in it and started to look for music that she wants to sing.
K' was drinking calmly his Coke-cola, lost in his thoughts. Kula practically almost lost facing the USA team, even if she was studding Brian's moves, she ended up more hurt, and in this last fight with Heavy D. she practically ended up almost dead. K knows that Kula is still a little weak from fighting K9999 and Angel all by herself, and for even using all her ice power to save the fighters that were in Ignis space ship. He should never have agreed to fight the USA team tonight, but what is done, is done. The only thing that K' could not understand was why he felling this way about Kula. He had this felling that he couldn't explain what it is, or better said it, he did not even understand what it was. He admits that he has this felling every time he is with Kula, but in this date that felling began to grow more, and more, it is driving him crazy. Kula was the first one that ever thanks him, for something that he had done, she was the one who made him fell calm when ever she put her arms around his. And most important of all, she is the first one who ever made him laugh for real, from his heart, a heart that he didn't know that he had. But what is this felling? Is it……love?
K´s thought were interrupted when he had heard music playing. It was the song that Kula had chosen to sang in that karaoke machine.
Every one applauded at Kula, for when she started to sing and to dance. K' was looking at every move of Kula's body when she was dancing, her hair glowing by the sparks of the lights, the way she moved her body, and the way her breasts moved by every time she was dancing. And a new felling was invading K's mind, not only his mind but also his body, he began to feel……. Damn, he was already starting to sweat.
When the song was over every one applauded at Kula, and Kula thanked them for their applause, at least for the first time in her life, she begins to feel that some one was appreciating her.
K' forced him fell to calm down, when he notice that Ash Crisom was walking to Kula, with a grin in his face. "That bastard again? What does he want with Kula? That's it! I'm going to kill that French punk!"
Kula has felt a hand on her shoulder, she was expecting K' but it was the Ash again. "Bonjuer , baby."
"It's you again!"
"You were expecting maybe someone else?"
Kula left the karaoke machine, but Ash was still following her. Kula was getting annoyed by all of this so she decided to confront this guy. "WHAT DO YOU WANT?"
"Chere, yelling is not appropriate for such a pretty face." Kula blushed by his comment, and Ash liked that. "Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Crisom, Ash Crisom. I'm from France, well, not exactly, I was just born in France."
"So why is it with the French talk?"
"Because I like it, it's cool!"
Kula sweat dropped, this guy is kind of silly.
Ash continued. "OK it's like this, me and two friends of mine, are planning on competing on the KOF tournament that it's going to be held in 2003."
"There is going to be a KOF 2003?" asked Kula in surprise.
"Yup, there is some lady with a mask that is organizing it."
"Then why wasn't organized this year?"
"Looks like there wasn't any money to do it, it's just like it happen in 1998."
"And you are planning to participate in it?"
"Yup. I wanna test my fighting abilities with great legends like the Lone Wolf and the Invincible Dragon." lie Ash, hiding the true reason why he is participating in the tournament.
"So why all of this has to do with me?"
" Well, I don't know all of the details but, it will probably teams of 4, so I was wondering if you would like to be our 4º team member?"
"What? ME?"
"Yes you!"
"But why me? I don't even know how to fight!"
"Chere, lying does not suit you! I know that you are a fighter. I felt your fighting aura."
"My fighting aura?"
"Yes I felt it when you were playing with that guy. Your aura, or KI, is very strong, very powerful indeed, and to have such KI a person must also be a good fighter, and had trained a lot to obtain it."
Kula: (thinking) "man this guy must be also a skilled fighter to have felt my aura. I wonder why NEST never traced this guy? Maybe he is not has strong has Kyo or Iori. Oh, how stupid of me, NEST never traced this guy because he never participated in the KOF. Maybe he is strong indeed." Thought Kula.
"Well chere, what do you say?" asked Ash again, making Kula wake up from her thoughts.
"Wha-what? Oh yeah you! Sorry but I'm not interested."
Ash felted a little desapointed. "Oh damn! But why? Is it because of that guy you have beaten?"
Suddenly Ash felted an incredible KI behind him, when he turned around he saw K', with angry eyes that could even scared Orochi. "Mon Dieu. This guy looks piss."
" Leave the girl alone!" demanded K' with a treating tone.
K' thinks that this guy was molesting Kula. Kula was about to say something when Ash had lifted his hand to stop her.
"Sorry monsieur, but don't you see I making moves on this girl?"
"You are messing with my date!" said K' with even more dangerous voice.
"What? Did K' just call me his date?" thought Kula with a smile.
"Alright mon ami," challenged Ash. "What will happen If I refuse to obey?"
"This!" K' punched Ash so hard with fire already surrounding his hand. The punch was so hard that it had made Ash crashed against some arcade games.
K' was surprised that Ash has managed to get up after his punch, with a grin on his face. " Ok, no more mister nice Ash! Now its my turn."
This time it was Ash turn to punch K' hard, that had made crash against the wall. When K' got up he was surprised again to see that he also manipulated flames, but his flames were different, they were green flames. Different flames, just like Iori. Who is this guy?
"Looks like you are full of surprise!" said K' getting up.
"And you haven't seen anything yet, mon ami!" replied Ash.
All of this riding has caused many people to panic and started to leave the NEOGEOLAND, but many had stayed to see this fight.
The two fighters were ready to continuo the fight when an ice wall was putted between them. It was Kula. After she finished making this ice wall she ran to K', holding his two arms. " Please K', stop it! No more fighting! We had enough fight for one day!"
K' looked down at Kula still with his angry look. "but Kula………"
"Please K', lets just get out of here!" begged Kula.
K was in silence for a moment before he decided to speak "alright."
"Yes!" said Kula, happily.
"Damn, this fight was getting good." Protested Ash.
Kula immediately grabbed K' arm so that they could leave, but not before he gave one final word to Ash. "You got lucky this time, but I'll kill you the next time we meet."
"Don't make promises that you can't keep, mon ami." Replied Ash.
-------
K' had manage to calm himself a little after that almost-fighting match with Ash, the only thing that was calming him was the fact that he knew that he would have the opportunity to rip that guys head off.
"Hey K', are you Ok?" asked Kula.
"Yeah, I'm ok."
Kula didn't believe what he said. "Are you sure?"
"Yes."
Kula decided to give up this talk, she knew that K' isn't also the type of guy that like to talk about his problem. "Well…………… so……………lets go to the hotel then……"
K' blushed when Kula suggested that." Are you sure? I'm not that sleepy yet.
"Well……………I am………." Said Kula, trying to convince K'.
"Whatever."
Both of them said nothing more, until Kula turn around to walk.
"Kula!" called K'.
"Y-yes?" asked Kula, not turning around.
"I just want to say that……I……I really enjoyed this date with you."
Kula was blushing like hell, she turn around and she saw K' with his normal expression on his face, but when he said that to her his voice sounded so sincere. "You are welcome K'……………….so lets go then."
