Chapter 7
Athena walked thorough the streets of South town, thinking about what Benimaru tall her, she blushed a little when she remembered his words, she always thought that Kyo only has eyes for Yuki. But now her new discovery has made her wonder how can she deal with it, but really wishes that she could help Kyo in some way.
She was so lost in her thoughts that she didn't saw that she bumped into some one. "Ops sorry sir, I……" she was frozen silence when she saw who bump into. Iori Yagami. "You…..you…Iori Yagami!"
"Who are you?" asked Iori very coldly.
"What? I'm Athena! I'm a very popular singer and I'm a KOF fighter! I've been on the tournament more years than you and you don't know who I am?" Athena could not believe that she is arguing with the same cold man who wants to kill Kyo, who beat coldly every one of his team partners and who brutally killed Vice and Mature.
"Hump! Like I pay attention to the weak fighters of the KOF. You are lucky that I am in a good mood or else I would have kill you!" after saying that Iori entered the alley.
Athena just stood there unmoved, she didn't know what to say, she escaped from the claws of the cold blooded fighter she has ever meet. But then she had an idea, this might be good to help Kyo, if only she managed to convince Iori to give up his rivalry with Kyo once and for all. Athena knows that there are many that try to convince him to give up, she was one of those people, but there are still a chance here, Iori has help them up against Orochi and his people, and there was those times witch he help against NEST, if it wasn't for his help K' and Kyo would have never managed to defeat Ignis.
So with out wasting any more time she enters the alley and finds Iori. "Iori wait!"
Iori just stopped with his back turn to her. "What do you want? Are you that eager to die?"
"I want you to stop this senseless rivalry between you and Kyo. It has no meaning!"
"Hump. There you people start with that again. I've hear this arguments before, but there is nothing that you can do and there is nothing you can say that will stop me form killing Kyo forever!"
Athena glared angrily at him. "I don't believe you! You have started to participate in the tournament in 1995, always trying to kill Kyo but every year you end up losing."
"I know that!" snapped Iori. "True, I spend every year training and perfecting my skills, but has much has I hate to admit it, Kyo has an impressive talent for the martial arts that I will never have. I understood that the first time I participated in the KOF, exactly when he defeated Rugal who had the Orochi power. I was shocked. The Yagamis and the Kusanagui have similar techniques but I can not even accompany the difference that stands between us." In that moment Iori waves two fingers, cutting a trash can I two. "I even developed this special technique to over come that difference, but it was of no use. So I have made a decision when I met Vice and Mature."
"Vice and Mature?" asked Athena has she remembers the ex-secretaries of Rugal who also had the Orochi blood in them. They were just in his organization by order of Goenitz who wanted to use him to test the power of Orochi, witch work perfectly. They were also Iori's team mates who he ended up killing them, but it was also because of Iori's Orochi blood who had made him made. Just then it hit Athena. "Of course! I should have understood. You knew that Vice and Mature were secretly working for Goenitz so you use them!"
Iori turns his head to Athena with an evil grin. "Of course. I remember the Power that Rugal had when he had the Orochi power, the power that Goenitz had gave him. Even if Rugal didn't had complete control over it we must admit that it was very impressive. And I knew that Vice and Mature also had the Orochi blood n them because I could sense it. So I remembered Rugal when those two came to me and I said to myself, If I play along with them I can find the power that Rugal once had and use it to kill Kyo once and for all. Of course Goenitz helped me develop it, not in the way I hope it would be, but I became strong enough, so it will be a mater of time until I finish Kyo." Just then Iori noticed the look of Athena's eyes, the looks of disgust and anger. "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"You used and sacrificed many people so that you can gain more power to kill Kyo. This family rivalry has started 1800 years ago, it has no meaning anymore, still you are willing to sacrifice anything and everything all because of this family war that no one remembers how it started. This is total madness!"
Iori turn his head back, and his hand is shaking and forming some flames "Try to understand……I just want to be back to what I was before…..I'm so sick of all these fights!" in this last one Iori exploded, releasing some purple flames flying to the air.
Athena looked at Iori surprised, it almost looks like Iori was showing his true feelings, and being sentimental. "W-what?"
"I just want be that kid I was in my youth and live in peace. I Hate violence! My father always trained me so that I could be able to kill Saisyu son, but I didn't wanted to kill anyone, I wanted to live in peace making beautiful pictures and play magnificent music, witch disgusted my father a lot. So he stooped eating and never let his room because he said that he didn't wanted to live in a world were is son is a mere coward and embarrasses the family name." Iori turns back to Athena, and it look like he had tears in his eyes. "Now do you understand why I want to kill Kyo? I want to make peaces with my father!"
"I…..I….." Athena didn't know what to say. Iori never open up to anyone in his life, and he never cried in his life.
Iori turn his back at Athena again. "It has done me good to tell you this, I've been caring this big weight in my heart for a very long time." Said Iori in a voice that didn't sound like his, and he left to who unknowns where.
This time Athena didn't go after him, she really didn't know what to say to him, but this time she understands why Iori is Iori, all of this because of his father. But she has also found out something else as well, she has found out that deep inside Iori is a human being trying to be free from his cure and wishing to live a normal life and quite all this vicious killing, with any luck there might still be a chance to change Iori to make him give up by his own, to kill Kyo. "Until Next time, Iori Yagami."
Unknown to them that they have been spied by a man with white hair and red clouts. Ash Crisom. "So…that is Iori Yagami. He is has Powerful has they say, but I will deal with him later, First I will get Chizuru then I will deal with in the next KOF tournament." after saying that Ash despaired, planning his plot.
To be continue………..
