So here it is. You're lucky you got it.
Jun and everybody else are the sole property of Namco and not me, but you should really know that by now

By the time she arrived at the Mishima Palace it was dark and no doubt people had already started to quit the day and sleep. She felt bad because of that. She didn't want to disturb people now, but she also needed the sleep too, and no one could deny the fatigue after a long day of travel. But she took this job anyway, saying goodbye to friends and family, because she couldn't stay forever and she wanted to earn money and help the people in need.
This was Jun Kazama. The pure simplistic girl that was very close to nature and those that dwell within it. The innocent soul with kindness within her every cell. She had an affinity with the animals. They just seemed to walk up to her showing no fear. She was a much more emotional than a physical person.
Quite the opposite of Kazuya.
She rode in the carriage with aprehension in her heart. She looked to her only traveling companion, Paco, a little song bird with a wounded leg. She would fix it as soon as she had her own room.
"Well, Paco, what do you think?" The bird twittered softly. Jun giggled.
"It's a very big place." She stared at the palace with awe. She had never seen such a large domain.
"I hope we don't get lost..."
The carriage came to a stop in front of the large refined oak doors. The guards nodded to acknowledge her presence and slowly opened the door.
That must be a pain to open...
When she entered, so did one of the guards. He assured her that she would be safe here. She would have to check in with the King first before going to her permanent home. Jun nodded and allowed the guard to lead the way. Along the way, the guard began to ask her questions.
"This your first time meetin' the king"
"Yessir."
"So what brings you here?"
"The King wanted me for personal business."
"Oh, your the healer, eh?" The guard chuckled. "You're pretty young to be a professional healer, aren't ya?"
Jun blushed and cast her look to the floor. "Um, I don't know... I guess..."
The rest of the walk through the long corridor was silence. Paco was resting easily on Jun's shoulder and the helpful guard just seemed to be tired. Jun was sure that just walking down these corridors would make a man tired. When they came to the throne room the guard stopped.
"When he tells you where you're to be staying, you come back out here and I'll take you there."
"Thank you sir. You've been a real help." Jun smiled.
He bowed slightly. "Just doin' my job."
Jun entered the throne room and immediately felt an evil aura about. She was shocked at how strong it was, but she kept this down inside her, not revealing it to the king. She patted Paco's head, trying to calm him down. Paco trusted Jun and stayed on her shoulder, but he was not completely at ease.
Jun saw the king in his throne in the back of the room with his two sons on either side of him. Heihachi seemed much older in person than from the pictures she'd seen. On the right was his adopted son Lee, the silver haired demon, some would say. He was a handsome one, but she knew of his lifestyle and his playboy attitude. If she were wise, she would try to cut her contact with him to a bare minimum.
The one on the left though, Kazuya, he was the more interesting one. The evil aura was clearly being emmited from his simple presence, yet, she felt it was not his. He stared at her at first with displeasure, but that faded quickly. His look softened, a portion of the aura dying. Jun was curious, this new feeling in her welling up inside. But the reverie was broken as soon as it started.
"You must be Jun Kazama, correct?" The king asked in a booming voice.
She snapped her attention to the king. "Uh, yes, I am. You sent for me for-"
"Yes yes, you're the healer. Seeing as it is very late and everyone will want to retire for the night as soon as possible, I will tell the details of your duties tomorrow. Your living area will be located in a small, somewhat remote cottage in the garden. I hope you don't mind if it's a little walks away-"
"Oh no, King Heihachi, I don't mind at all." She answered honestly. The farther away from civilization, the closer to nature. And that was the best place for Jun to be.
"Alright then. Be here in the throne room in the morning. I will relate to you what you will be doing for me. That is all." And he cut their conversation short.
Jun was left hanging, and didn't know whether the king had anymore to say or not, but she just bowed and left. If he had anymore to say, he surely would not have cut the conversation like that. When she was outside the throne room she sighed and turned to the guard.
"Harsh, ain't he?"
"That could very well be an understatement."
"Heh. Just think. You've only just met him. Think how his servants must feel."
Jun shuddered. Their cold-blooded king had been around for quite a while. Jun told the guard where she would be staying and followed him there. She felt bad for the guard. She knew he really didn't want to walk all this distance, but it was his job, and under Heihachi's rule, who's to say no to such a task?
Jun was in awe at the moonlit garden. She hadn't seen so much of nature since she was a little girl living with her parents. Flowers of all kinds and colours flourished everywhere, though the moonlight painted them a blue hue at this time of night. She would just have to look at the vibrant colours in the morning. There were several trees as well. Jun breathed in. She just might like it here.
After a while, the guard came upon a small cottage, the one Heihachi said she would be living in. It was quite small, but she could deal with it. It would only be her and Paco anyways. She bowed to the guard and thanked him again and watched him walk away.
When she went inside the cottage, it was already well furnished with everything she could need. She quickly found the bedroom and set up a little place next to the bed where Paco could sleep. Once everything was set she climbed in bed and set Paco down. Paco hopped to his little nesting area and comfortably sat inside.
"Goodnight Paco." Paco chirped and rested his head behind his wing.
Jun eased herself down inside her suprisingly soft bed. Today had been an interesting day. She hoped it would be just like this tomorrow. She closed her eyes and nudged against the pillow. Tomorrow should be a nice calm restful day.
Tomorrow, though, was going to be an interesting day to say the least.
YAAA! I REALLY HAVE TO PEE!
Paco is MINE! I OWN PACO! He lives outside my window I LOVES HIM!
So Namco doesn't own Paco. And they never will.
