Author's note
Sorry. Today I cannot spellcheck my story. I will do that later. I hope I haven't made too much mistakes. If I did please be gentle with me, English isn't my native language.
And don't tell me you thought I would kill off Kazuya. Come on, he is not killed that easily. Enjoy now - I hope you do.

Chapter 2

Kazuya Mishima was well aware that many wanted to see him dead. It has always been like this in his life. When your own father repeatedly tried to kill you you quickly learn to trust nobody. He was prepared, he expected assassination attempts every day and every night.

In the time it took Nina to bring down her weapon he had rolled sideways out of the way and the knife went straight into the mattress. The sharp weapon cut right through the fabrique and Nina was hit by a fountain of water shooting up from the crack. Kazuya rolled out of the bed and the pressure on the mattress was lessened causing the water to pour more slowly. Some strands of his hair had become lose and where hanging in his face. The top of his pyjamas was soaked and clinging to his muscular body.

In a matter of seconds he had reached Nina, grabbed her by the throat and pressed her against the wall. She saw fury in his dark eyes. For a moment she could have sworn that they turned red, the left one more than the right, but when she looked again they were dark once more. One effect from the devil gene, she told herself.

"Nina Williams." Kazuya hissed at her. "Still the assassin I see."
She stayed quiet, actually she was now a bit afraid. She knew very well why the price money was that hight, not only was he in the way of many influential people, he was also considered rather dangerous. Adding to that he constant feeling of Deja Vu made her uneasy. She didn't have any memories of her life before the cold sleep, and she didn't have any records of whom she had met or what she had done before. Ocassionally she had to suffer flashbacks but none had told her anything that might be helpful now. Why did he say 'still', this gave Nina the feeling that he might know some things about her past she didn't. And she was right.

"You have failed in killing me twenty years ago, what made you think you could do it now?"
His arrogance as well as her failure annoyed her. Why hadn't she been a bit more careful, she asked herself, she could have killed him. Bu no, she had messed it up.
"I can still kill you." she said stubbornly.
"How?" he asked her, surprised about her confidence.
"Your arrogance will be your donwfall." she added.
"My arrogance?"
"Getting in here was easy. You must think no one can touch you!? There are hardly enough guards here to keep the estate safe."
"I don't have to keep the house safe. If anything gets stolen the insurance will take care of it. The true treasures are in the office building, try to get in there alive!" he callanged her.
"You don't get it, do you? Your company secrets aren't the target here. You are."
His grip around her neck tightened. "As you can see, or rather feel, I can take good care of myself." She struggled in his grip and he losened it. "Oh sorry, not able to breath?" he mocked her.
She narrowed her eyes and looked at him with hatred while she tried to get her lungs working again. Her stare was piercing right into him when she spoke. "What if I had taken a gun."
"You didn't." he stated matter-of-factly.
"What if?" she pressed on.
"I would have needed to react earlier."
"So then how did you know I didn't have a gun?" she asked. She was really unnerved about this guy. He seemd to think he knew everything.
"Nina, I know you. I saw every step you've made. Although I have to admit I expected you to be smart enough to take the shoes off right away, not after making a noise that would wake the dead."
"Smartass." she hissed angry.
He brought his face closer to hers. "What did you say?"
Nina was angry with herself. While she really hated him and wanted him dead she also felt this magical attracktion towards him. She told herself how sick this was, but he was as cold blooded as her making him somehow familiar. Nina didn't like to be at someones mercy but right here, right now it was kind of exciting, adrenalin was racing through her veins. "So what are you going to do with me now?" she asked him, her voice switching to seductive mode.
"I am still deciding." he replied coldly and released her.
She was glad to be free and wanted to move away from the wall but she had barely set into motion when his hand grabbed her again.
"Did I tell you to move?"
"I am sorry." she said angry retreating back against the wall.
He let go of her throat but instead pinned her against the wall by placing her hands against the wall on both sides of her head. He looked her right into the face, which made her feel uneasy.
"How can someone as beautiful as you be such a cold blooded killer?" he whispered.
She had to laugh. "You are telling me to be a cold blooded killer? He was your father, for god's sake."
"He brought misery to all our lifes. Be glad he is gone and hope that it's final this time." he said and turned away from her.
Again she was surprised at his arrogance. Nobody turned his back on an assassin, especially one who was there to kill him.
He walked over to the bed. "Look at this mess you've made." he commented while inspecting the mattress.
Nina used his inattention to draw another knife from her sleve. "I am going to make an even bigger mess." she yelled and at once threw the knife at him with great precision.
But again Kazuya showed her that he knew everything that was going on, even behind his back. He turned to the side and stopped the flying knife by it's hilt. He narrowed his eyes, blood was running down his wrist.
"You are not getting any better." he commented angry.
Nina rolled here eyes, disappointed that she had failed again. Meanwhile Kazuya picked up teh first weapon from the remains of his waterbed. He slowly approached Nina with both knifes in his hands. Nina took a step back but he just spun both around and presented the hilts to her. With an evil smile he said: "Like to try again?"
Her reflexes made her grab the weapons and she was surprised that Kazuya let her take them.
"Now please do me a favour and get out of here." he said harshly. "Or will it be necessary to accompany you to the gate. I tell you right away I'm not in the mood. I have to find dry clothes first."
Nina stood still and didn't answer at first.
"Ok. In that case..." Kazuya said and walked over to the desk. He picked up the phone and told a security guard to come up.
"Don't think this is over. One day I will kill you." Nina cursed.

A moment later the guard entered and was surprised when he saw Nina. He was a tall man and of strong stature. He had fierce menacing eyes which made him the kind of guy children were afraid of from even looking at.
"Could you explain her presence here to me, Takashi?" Kazuya asked the man.
"No, Sir." the man replied shocked.
"Don't tell me you still haven't found the two unconcious guards by the gate?" Kazuya shouted at the man. "Why do I pay you at all?"
Takashi began to shrink, he was obviously scared of Kazuya. "This will not happen again." he mumbled.
"Damn right. This won't happen again, because if it does you will join the guy she hid in the wardrobe."
Takashi had a puzzled look on his face.
"Oh let me guess, you haven't found him either?" Kazuya continued.
The man went pale and started looking at his feet. Kazuya cleared his throat to face the head guard to look up again.
"And now please accompany Miss Williams to the gate. And make sure she stays outside."
The guard bowed and the then took Nina's arm to take her outside.
"You haven't seen the last of me." Nina threatened him one last time.
"Oh yes, Miss Williams. It will be a pleasure seeing you again." Kazuya said and turned away.
