Hey i'm back! I'm glad that everyone liked that chapter 22 of TOF.I'm surprised with myself at how long that chapter was, and today i'm going to try to make it the same length. Thank you once again and enjoy!
Devil Billy Kazama - Hey thanks for reviewing. I've received ideas from Moontearz on how we should write the OC battles and they sound genius! Now we just need to get a hold of Karisan and hopefully JunKing since I have been informed that Lil' Tommygirl will be working with Moontearz, you, and myself.
Moontearz - Thank you for your great ideas on how we should arrange and create the OC battles. I have an idea to create a c2 community where we could exchange ideas and information so we can discuss on who would write their assigned chapter.
Lil' Tommygirl - Thank you for reviewing and I think your OC sounds really cool! I can't wait when we start progressing the OC battles.
Karisan-Karisan - Thanks for reviewing! I hope you like this one as well!
"W-where am I.."
"Where you're supposed to be.. home."
"Home?.."
"Yes.. just rest Kyo.. rest.."
Tekken 5 Tournament Of Fate - Chapter 23: Fallen Angel
The wind was bringing a cool breeze across the grass. The blades were grazing against a figure's face, giving a relaxing feel. His face seemed contempt, a small smile appearing his face. His slowly lifted his eyes to see a girl, in her late teens or early twenties running towards him.
"Kyosuke!" she cried, stumbling a bit while running
Now he remembered, she was Kaori.. the girl he loves. She arrived and knelt down, bringing his back up to rest against one of her legs.
"Oh my god.. Kyosuke."
"Kaori.." he noticed the tears sliding down her face, some dripping falling into his mouth
The taste was salty, but it was delicious.. something so pure, yet filled with such sorrow. Her eyes explained everything.. it appeared that she was trying to say something.. but couldn't.
"Kaori.." he said once again
"Y-yes?"
"Kiss me.."
She didn't even questioned his motive. Her lips locked with his, her tears still sliding down her cheek. He licked her lips, tasting the familiar bitterness of tears. He wrapped his arms around her, while she cried into his chest. The sweet fragrance of strawberries greeted his nose.
"Y-you think you'll be okay?" Kaori asked
"To be honest.. I don't know." he replied, his tone calm
Jin and the others arrived on the scene to see the couple in each others arms. His face was filled with worry, he walked over to the couple and helped Kyo to his feet.
"We have to get him back to the hotel." he explained
"The hotel? Why not the hospital."
"Because we have something they don't have.."
"What's that?" Asuka chimed in
"Our mother.."
Jun was sitting peacefully, her eyes closed as she listened to the tree branches tap against the window, a rythm of rustling of the leaves and branches could be heard if one focused.
"Mother.." Jin entered the room, carrying a passed out Kyo in his arms
"Kyosuke.." Jun quickly directed Jin to her bed where he laid Kyo
He unbuttoned his brother's shirt to reveal a bullet with a purple tint at the end.
"What the hell?" Jin asked confused
"This was a custom made bullet, my guess is Kazuya had this poisoned.." Jun said calmly
"Father.." he gritted his teeth
"By the looks of it, it was able to damage part of his devil gene, taking away the ability to heal for quite some time.."
"Could you heal him.."
"Yes.. but i'm not sure if I will be able to bring him out of his coma."
"I see.."
"Jin.. go back to the stadium with the others.. don't you have a match?"
"Yes.. i'll be back soon." with that said, he closed the door behind him
"How is he?" Kaori asked
"To be honest.. he was hit with a poisoned bullet, messing up his gene in which he cannot heal himself. My mother is healing him, but will be unable to bring his out of his coma.. he has do it on his own."
Kaori's head was tilted down.. her bangs covering her eyes, but nonetheless you could see new tears slide down her cheek.
'That was supposed to be me..'
'But he stood in the way and took it for me.'
'Kyosuke..'
"Come on.. let's go back to the stadium.." Jin turned and went back downstairs, Kaori following behind him
"I am deeply sorry about what happened with the previous fight. That was downright uncalled for and heartless. All of us from the organization hope for Kyosuke to have a speedy recovery." the announcer himself was shocked at what happened a half hour ago
"But with that aside.. let's try to turn this back around with the next match up. Julia Chang and Christie Montiero, please make your way to the airport."
The two friends stood up and hugged each other
"Let's give it our best!" Julia said
"Yeah! Good luck!" Christie smiled
They both made their way to the airport with proud smiles
"Huh.. where am I.." Kyo stood up from the ground and looked around
The area around him was green, and it looked.. so beautiful. He looked down at his chest to see no bullet wound.
"What the-" he didn't bother, things were already weird
He walked down a path.. but stopped when he heard.. giggles?
He crossed through the bushes and peered at where the sound came from. What he saw, he couldn't believe..
There in front of him was Jun... and Kazuya.
They were playing around, more like tag
"No! Please stop Kazuya!" she giggled, being tickled to death
"Nah! This is way too much fun!" he laughed, causing her to squeal
'What the hell?' he thought
"Mom?" a boy's voice came along
"What is it Jin?" she said smiling at her son
There stood Jin when he was 4. His hair was spiked like usual but there was one thing different..
He had a smile on his face.. a pure genuine smile
"I'm going to go hang out with Sota and the others.." he answered
"Alright - gah! - take care!" he sudden squeal was from Kazuya who tickled her once more
"That's it.. get over here!" she playfully yelled
"Just try and catch me!"he yelled back sprinting through the forest
'Whoa.. they were actually happy once.." Kyo thought, amazed
"Surprizing.. isn't it." a voice asked
Kyo turned around to see Kazuya, wearing a white shirt and blue pants.
"Are you here to kill me?" Kyo asked getting into stance
"No.." he replied calmly
"What? Is this coming from you?" Kyo asked mockingly
"The demon was taking me over then.. I have no intentions of killing any of you.." he said
"Are you kidding me! Don't give me that bullshit!" Kyo roared pinning Kazuya against a tree
"It's the truth.."
"W-why..w-why am I being shown this.." Kyo broke down in tears, slumping to his knees
"I understand your pain-"
"You don't understand shit!" Kyo roared
Kazuya kept quite
"I've never met my real parents before.. then I found my mother and learned that my real father was trying to kill me just for power. How in the hell is that understandable!"
"The demon inside me has practically full control over me.. there's nothing I can do."
"Fight it! You can't let it win!"
"I tried! But it told me if I ever resisted again.. he would kill Jun.."
That's when everything came into pieces
Kazuya didn't want to kill anyone, he was being possesed by Devil, who wanted to take the lives of the Kazamas to have their powers and rule the world. The only reason Kazuya is letting this slide is that if he inteferred, Devil would kill Jun on the spot.
"So you're trying to protect Jun?"
"Yes.."
Kyo walked away from Kazuya and laid against a tree
"I'm going to save you.." Kyo said looking towards his father
"What?" Kazuya asked
"I'm going to kill the demon inside you, either that or weaken it permanantly so you have control over it."
"Why are you doing this for me?" Kazuya was shocked,
"Because I want to live as a family again.. I hated being alone.."
"Thank you..Kyosuke.."
"Just be made sure that.. if this is a trick, I will not hesitate to kill you.. understood?"
"Yes.." Kazuya smiled, maybe now he can have a normal life, with Jun..
"Winner Of Match.. Christie Monteiro!"
The crowd went wild once again, as they should have. This match was one of the closest ones to date. Both of them gave it their all, and it resulted in one last attack.
Christie was out of breath as she stood, quickly she fell as she awaited the greeting from the pavement.
Instead she was wrapped in someones arms.. she looked up to see Billy Kazama smiling down at her.
"Nice fight.."
"Thank you.."
"I was wondering.. maybe.. after the tournament and all.. we could go on a date.."
Christie was quiet for a moment until she answered
"I would like that.." she replied hugging him tighter
"Really?"
"Yeah.. i'm looking forward to it.."
"Can Xiaoyu and Mokujin please head to the cave entrance.."
"Alright! See you guys later!" Xiaoyu said taking off
"Xiao! Wait!" Jin's voice called
She turned around to see Jin running up towards her
"Xiao.. I know what you're going to do with the prize money if you win.."
"Y-you do!"
"Yes.. even though I am very grateful that you care about me, I want to leave things as they are right now."
"Why do you say that?"
"Because if things were different.." he walked up and hugged her
"Maybe I would have never met you.." he finished
"Jin.."
"Be careful Xiao.. and if you do win this tournament.. use the money that would make you happy, not others.." Jin said walking away
Kaori smiled at the whole ordeal, Jin and Xiao would seem to be a great couple in high school, what if?
Suddenly fear gripped her heart.. she needed to see Kyo
She took off for the hotel..
"What was life with you and my mother?" Kyo asked,
The two were sitting down, talking and sharing stories with each other
In fact, they were enjoying each other's company
"It was great.. even though she may seem nice and caring, she could put fear in people's hearts, even Heihachi's."
"You serious! Ha! I bet he would take off to the mountains like a bullet!"
"Son, you had no idea.." he confirmed laughing as well
"Father?.."
"Hm?"
"Do you think.. we'll ever be a family again?"
"I hope so.. just make sure you take that demon within me down. I trust you, Asuka, and Jin.."
"We'll try our best.."
"And for that, i'm grateful." Kazuya replied
"Now, aside from that.. who's this Kaori girl?"
"Wh-what?" Kyo's face had turned a tint of red
"Oh.. is she your girlfriend?"
"Well actually.. I don't know.."
"Hm?"
"Well we act like it.. but I don't think i've ever asked her out."
"Well that's going to be on the things to do list."
"Yeah.. I want you to meet her dad.. she's great."
"I bet she is.. winning the heart of my son.." he said giving the thumbs up
Their laughter was interuppted by smoke.. purple smoke..
"It's him..." Kazuya snarled
"Who?.."
"Devil.."
Kaori entered Jun's room to see Kyo on the bed. The bullet wound was gone but he was still asleep.
Kaori got on her knees beside his bed and prayed
"Please.. bring him back to me.."
"For he is my darkness as I am his light."
"For where I am his angel, as he is my devil."
"We are Yin and Yang."
"I am his water, he is my fire.."
"We are bonded together by the powers above."
"Bring him to me.."
"Well what do we have here? Father and son chit chat?" Devil smirked, his red eyes glowing with hatred
"What do you want bastard!" Kyo roared
"Your demise.." he shot back
"Kyo.. get out of here." Kazuya stepped foreward
"No! We can beat him right here, right now!"
"We can't.. he's powerful than both of us.. i'll buy you time.."
A beautiful angelic voice came through the sky, entering the ears of the trio..
"Please.. bring him back to me.."
"For he is my darkness as I am his light."
"For where I am his angel, as he is my devil."
"We are Yin and Yang."
"I am his water, he is my fire.."
"We are bonded together by the powers above."
"Bring him to me.."
"Kaori.." Kyo muttered
"GO KYO!" Kazuya yelled as he charged at Devil
A strange bright light appeared in the midst of the forest. With nothing holding him back, Kyo sprinted for it.
"Please.. just bring him back.." Kaori pleaded as she softly kissed him on the lips
Kaori's eyes opened wide with shock as she felt a hand gently caressing her face. Kyo slowly opened his eyes and stared into Kaori's.
"Thank you.." he kissed her again
The two held each other for a few minutes. Jun who was by the window watching the whole situation was smiling. Because for a brief moment..
She could see Kazuya and herself appear in Kyo and Kaori's place..
