Chapter 11

-------

In the Hero's team apartment.

Whip woke up in the middle of the night, to go to the kitchen and drink a glass of water, but when she got there she notice a note in the refrigerator, a note from Maxima, and it said: Diana has follow K' and Kula, I'm going to make sure she doesn't goof up their date, Maxima.

Whip sighed "Damn…...Diana has promised that she would not interfere."

-------

On the roof of another building near the hotel were K' and Kula are a mysterious figure, is watching them in their window through his binoculars, and that mysterious figure is……

"Ahá ! Found ya, Diana!" shouted Maxima, and Diana jumped when he sneaked on her.

"Damn it Maxima!" cried Diana. "Don't you have anything to do besides putting your nose in other peoples business?"

"I could ask the same thing about you! You have promised Kula not to interfere. This is her PLAN!"

"I know that! I just want to make sure that K' doesn't take advantage of her."

"Oh come on! K' isn't the type of guy that takes advantage of women."

"Maybe by travelling with a stupid hentai like you, he has learned how to become horny with women!"

Maxima got a little confused by this last remark by Diana. "What are you saying exactly?"

"Shut UP!" Shouted Diana has she keeps on observing K' and Kula with her binoculars "Something is wrong there!"

"What is it?"

"Kula is saying something to K, and K' is looking at her, in a disbelieve look! I wish I could hear what they are saying."

"Well……Maybe I can help!"

Diana turns to Maxima "How?"

"I can read their lips!" He confirmed, very proud of himself.

"Really?"

"Yup!"

Diana was not sure if Maxima was telling the true, but she decided to pass the binoculars to him. "Ok then, tell me what they are saying!"

Maxima takes a look at K' and Kula with the binoculars "Ok, ok. UAU! Kula has noting but a towel covering her body!"

"MAXIMA!" Diana growled very angrily.

"Sorrysorrysorrysorry!" pleaded Maxima then starts reading Kula's lips "Ok, ok, Kula is saying ….forced to face each other, because of the cruelty of NEST. But it was your strength that drew me to you when we first fought in the KOF 2000, and when we started to live together, I've got to know the intelligent and also thoughtful and caring person you try to hide so much. I love you, K' Dash."

Diana was in shock, she could not believe what she just heard. "Is…...is …...that true?"

"Yes it is!" Maxima confirm it.

"And….and …..what is K' saying?"

"Wait, wait…..he is still stunted……he is not saying noting yet……… wait, he is saying something" now he starts reading K' lips. "Kula……I love you too. I don't know how or when you did it, but you have stolen the heart of the Beast of Prey. Yurk , K'! Were did ya learn to say mushy stuff like that?"

Diana landed on her knees. "The irony of it all……… I thought that Kula only had a silly crush on K', that it was noting serious……….but looks like I was wrong……and I never thought that K' would really fall in love, especially with my little girl. I always thought that he was a cold blooded killer. With no feelings for any one……..life is really so ironic."

Maxima was ignoring her, he was still watching Kula and K' with the binoculars. "Wait, wait! The god parts coming up! They are kissing and K' is taking her to bed. HE HEHE HE…….." Maxima stopped jumping like a maniac when he saw what K' was doing. "hey …..K' what are you doing? ……No ,no, no, no, don't turn of the light! ….. NOOOOOOOOOOOO…….." This is the part in the previous chapter when K' turns of the light "K', you dork! Now I can't see the good stuff!"

Diana slapped Maxima hard on the back of his head, making him drop the binoculars. "Let's get out of here! There is no more need to stay here."

"Alright, alright……you didn't' have to hit me so hard!" complained Maxima, rubbing his head.

When Maxima looked at Diana, he notice that she looked a little sad, he didn't know what it was, but deep inside of him, he don't like seeing her like this, so he decided to cheer her up. "Hey D.! How about we go to a snack bar and drink something? I'm thirsty!"

"Go it yourself, stupid cyborg!" Diana didn't know why she replied so coldly at Maxima, but it's probably because she is very disturbed and once again she is taking it out on him. She had completely forgotten the conversation she had heard when K' and Maxima were talking. Diana looked at him slowly and notices that he's still upset about her cold reply. "I'm sorry Maxima…………………… Sure, I'll go to the snack bar with you."

Maxima put on a happy look "cool."

In a snack bar near the hotel were K and Kula are.

Maxima had ordered two beers for him and Diana, Maxima was almost half way ending his, but Diana didn't even touched hers, she was still looking at the air, with those sad eyes, like she was waiting for an answer. "Diana, what is the matter?"

"Why would you care?" she replied, very coldly again.

"HEY! Stop it with those cold replies!" snapped Maxima very angry. "We are friends, right? So friends look out for each other!"

Diana just let out a deep sight "I just feel so alone."

"Alone?"

"Yes, my little girl is growing up so fast…….she is becoming a woman, indeed. And she will not need me anymore." Diana's eyes starts to watering. "She has the life she always wanted, and now she has a man to protect her. I'm worthless now..."

Maxima was surprised, he never saw Diana like this, this is the first time she ever opened so much to him. Maxima's happy and worry at the same time. "Hey, come on girl, that is not true."

"I still remember the first time I saw Kula. She was just 4 years old and NEST was already making experiment on her, turning her into a killing machine…… I could stand the idea of her being noting but an object for their uses, so I've decided to take care of her. But that was not enough for NEST Master, he still didn't trusted Kula, they were afraid that she would become a rebel, a traitor like K'. NEST created Krizalid to make sure that K' would not betray them, and they have created Candy to make sure Kula didn't do the same. But when K' defeated Krizalid in KOF 1999, they have programmed Candy to kill Kula if she ever showed any sign of betrayal ideas, but in the end I'm surprised to see that Candy had risked her life for Kula in the end. But I was afraid in that time, afraid for Kula's safety, but all this time, she was capable of taking care of herself. I feel so worthless."

Maxima was in deep silence for a moment. "You love her very much, don't you? like if she was your daughter?"

"Yes…………"

"And she loves you, and she will need you now more than ever." Said Maxima in a sincere voice, one that Diana never heard from him.

"What?"

"She has confessed her love for K', but still she will need a lot of support from you, she will need your support to carry on with her relationship with K', the support that you have always given to her……..so you see, you are not worthless. And just because she is in love, doesn't mean that she will forget about her friends, especially, you."

Maxima's words have calmed Diana, but still she was surprised that Maxima would calm her down, considering the fact that she always treats him so badly.

Now Maxima has a look like he's expecting something, and Diana noticed that. "well?"

Diana blushed. "W-well what?"

"Aren't you going to drink your beer?"

" Oh yeah right………." Said Diana felling a little disappointed but started to drink her beer.

-------

Maxima could not believe what just happened. Diana was drunk, and Maxima is caring her home in a piggy bag ride, and to think that she only drank one, just one, cup of beer. The most distasteful think of all, is that she puked all over the lady's bathroom in that snack bar. Now here is a woman who can not take her liquor.

"How can people drink that shit? It tastes like pi!" said a drunken Diana, letting out some hiccups.

Maxima laughed. "Where did I hear that before? "

"This is so pathetic, you taking care of me."

"Oh come on! You must admit that this is well!"

Even drunk, Diana could feel comfortable with Maxima. And this is the very first time that some one is taking good care of her, even if it is from someone who was once her enemy. "you would do better if you shave those sideburns of yours."

Maxima panicked "NO! Anything but my precious sideburns!"

Diana only giggled at his reaction.

A few minutes later Maxima have reached the park, the same park were K' and Kula were fighting the USA team, and Maxima have rested Diana on one of the seats of the park, because, damn was she so heavy.

"Maxima…..?"

Maxima rubbed his neck before starting to talk to her again. "What's up?"

"Do you…...do you think I'm pretty?" asked Diana with a blush.

Maxima jumped in shock, was Diana flipping him, this a first time that she ever talked to him like that, he didn't' know if it was because she is drunken. Still it is the first time in a wile that a woman started to make moves on him. But what the heck. "Well…….y-yes………yes I do."

Maxima were expecting a response from Diana, but she was quiet. And they were silence for a while.

"Sorry for always being so bad for you………………"

"Hey, I don't pay attention on that, I………"

"You always had more luck than me."

Maxima was caught by surprise here, what did she meant by that? "What are you talking about?"

"Ever since you were born, you could live in the world, doing all the things you could do every time, a complete free soul………"

"You wouldn't say that if you knew how I lived my life." Thought Maxima to himself.

"I was destined to live in a prison ever since I was born." Continued Diana.

Maxima got confused now "What? What do you mean?"

"My father, was one of the main fighter agents of NEST, but he wanted to be removed from the organization, but NEST Master never let him, but he want it so bad, that he begin to run away from it, but NEST founded him and Kill him and his wife, but for some strange reason, NEST Master has let me live, and he made me one of his agents. I was just 4 years old when NEST took me and turned me into what I am……"

"Damn. This is the very first time Diana ever open up so much to me. But I never knew about her life. Curse the NEST, they have always used people for their experiments, and mostly children. NEST way truly despicable. Thank God it is dead." Thought Maxima.

"Ironic, isn't it?" said Diana with a sarcastic laught.

"Diana……"

"I was working on the same organization that Kill my family and ruin my life, when I should do the same like you and K'. But no…...I was a coward……" Diana was starting to cry.

Maxima could sense that all that Diana is saying is hurting her, and he said that he had a hard life, when this woman had an even more hard life than him.

"Sorry I must be talking a lot, aren't I?" said Diana rubbing her eyes.

"Hey, hey, calm down……….."

"I'M A COWARD! I always was and I always will be! I just a stupid coward with no use for anyone!" cried Diana, letting out more tears

"Calm down! Don't you see that you are hurting yourself?" demanded Maxiam trying to calm down Diana.

"I'm a coward! I hate myself! I hate myself!"

"That is enough!"

"I hate….." Immediately, Maxima covered his lips with Diana's, giving her a calm, gentle, but sexy kiss. Maxima were even more surprised when Diana was returning the kiss to him.

They have continuo kissing for about…………10, no 18 minutes, until Diana fainted in his arms. "Damn this woman can kiss." Thought Maxima.

Maxima look back at the woman in his arms, this is the very first time that Diana look so beautiful, so sexy. He was beginning to think hentai ideas, but he decided against it, he isn't the type of man that takes advantage on women when there are with their minds completely gone. So he carries her again in a piggy back ride, and return back home.

"I just hope I never carry her again like this."

To be concluded…..
