Disclaimer: I don't own Tekken, Okay, Namco does. So it's the usual start. It's just the usual me, nothing much. Okay, the previous chapter, I just added it to focus on Jun's POV to lessen the confusion. I hope you like it. Thanks for the reviews. Enjoy!
Jun finally opened the door,
but to her surprise,
no one seems to be around except that darkness and that awful feeling that's eating inside her.
As she took a step forward, a sudden pain stroked inside her chest
'…Kazuya…' she thought as she quickly ran through the corridors,
reaching for the lift.
Pressing the buttons so hard as far as she could imagine,
the elevator seems to be from a floor far away from hers.
She knew the whereabouts of the lift.
No floor is farther away from her room except the rooftop and no one is daring enough to go to the rooftop on a time like this,
except him.
She stood there,
praying,
praying for safety, HIS safety.
She had no idea what he has in mind but she could feel the dark presence surrounding him as soon as they parted.
'It's consuming him…I must stop it…' she thought.
A few seconds have passed.
The elevator seems to be in a middle of a trance, her patience drained.
She ran to the fire exit and ascended the stairs instead.
She doesn't care how tired will she become, all she cares about now is Kazuya.
Barefoot and almost close to nudity, she climbed as fast as she could, gasping for air every minute of steps.
Unfortunately, the elevator's door already opened as soon as she made her first step on the Fire exit's stairs.
Kazuya took his step forward
'Why are we in the rooftop?' Devil spoke.
'Silence, I need not to hear from you! It's my decision, there's nothing you could do' Kazuya answered.
Walking his way to the breezy rooftop he paused as he went to the place where he laid his arms on the woman he's dying to hold.
His obsession took place in here, the undying desire to hold her.
Closing his eyes, he allowed the wanton breeze to blow against him.
His heart beating peacefully, his thoughts lingered to Jun.
'Kazama, Jun…I never knew what love feels like until the day you came into my life' he thought.
'Seems like the day I first met you felt like it was not far from yesterday.
I needed nothing else in this world except my feelings for you and my desire to kill my father.
I may not have the strength to say this to you, but I wanted you to feel that…' his thoughts were interrupted when the spirit spoke angrily at him
'Kazuya! Enough of these useless lines you're rehearsing! In killing, there's no need for you to speak!' devil complained.
He could hear the spirit's rage inside as he groaned in pain.
Jun, halfway to the rooftop, pushed herself to step more.
Though she's weary and tired, her mind isn't.
Her right hand clutching to her bathrobe, her other hand on the wall.
'No…I can't quit now…I must reach him…' she thought as she continued climbing up.
She could already feel herself collapsing at the moment yet she's fighting it.
She must reach that rooftop, she must.
Kazuya fell on his knees, gasping for air, feeling nothing but pain, the pain that once encouraged him to give in to the spirit.
Jun finally made her way to the rooftop.
As she opened the door, she saw Kazuya on his knees.
Walking wearily, she went to him, still clutching her robe.
'Kazuya…o-onegai…Don't let it consume you…" she pleaded.
He suddenly turned to face her as though watching a dying bird
'What are you waiting for? Get up there and kill her!' devil said.
Out of the blue, he suddenly rose just to run beside her.
Jun looked at him with shock in her eyes as his hand reached for her neck harshly, strangling her, squeezing the life out of her.
"K-Kazuya, w-why?" she asked, her hands too weak to stop him.
"A burden…a burden to our plans…" he said as he continued to strangle her but he was distracted as he saw the necklace,
the necklace that he gave her.
A bundle of memories started to haunt him.
'You're more valuable to me Jun' his memories spoke.
Jun struggled to break-free.
She knew that wasn't him. That wasn't the Kazuya she once knew.
Those eyes, there's something in it that's screaming to tell her.
"Die!" Kazuya yelled, his bloodthirsty eyes feasting to see her suffer.
Why now after being so close to saving him? Her vision started fading to black.
Her weary lungs could no longer stand it. Slowly she felt she's on the verge of death.
The hand that once saved her from the blistering cold was the hand that was actually trying to kill her.
Helpless as she already is, a tear fell from her eye, a tear that was once wiped by those hands.
"Gomen nasai…I couldn't save you…" she said.
Those fragile memories that are made to be broken, does it have to end here now?
Jun could feel the hope running away from her.
There's nothing more she could do, it's time to give up.
Kazuya, on the other hand, finally awoke from Devil's grasp just to see Jun slowly becoming lifeless as his hand continued to sink its way into her neck.
'Damn it!' he thought as he quickly released her.
If he didn't fight his way into devil this time,
Jun would have died'…what have I done…' he thought as he checked on Jun, she was panting heavily.
"Stay back…He wants you dead…run away, away from me…" Kazuya said, guilt was on his eyes.
How could he have allowed devil to take control on him.
Jun looked at him with calmness on her eyes
"Mr. Mishima, I'm sorry…" she said. Her voice drifting away as she falls into unconsciousness.
"Sorry for what?" Kazuya asked as he walked away from Jun.
'what the! What are you doing! Finish her!' devil squealed.
Returning to his composure, he stood up and looked at the sky.
As though releasing something, he held his hands upward triumphantly.
Calmness was on his face as he continued what he's doing.
The cold breeze started to blow harshly at him yet he's fighting it.
White light seems to be emitting from him as the breeze blew heavily.
'I guess you failed to manipulate me this time, there's always a limit of how much I can take' he thought.
Then, before he knew it, he felt like he had just let go a very heavy load.
He closed his eyes with a smile of content
'Parting is such sweet sorrow indeed' he thought.
By that, devil was ridden from him.
Jun may not be able to save him yet still, her goal was reached and Kazuya's soul is free from the devil at last.
He immediately went to Jun's side.
Her pale skin glowing on the moonlight, her hair is somehow messed up yet it still looked good, her bathrobe was close to falling off.
He took off his trench coat and wrapped it on her.
"..He's gone…you're safe now…in my arms…" he said in a hushed voice as he carried Jun.
Getting rid of devil was his plan all along and it succeeded.
He walked passed the corridors until he reached Jun's hotel room.
He laid her on her bedroom as he pushed aside some of her hair strands that are a nuisance to her beautiful angelic face.
Before leaving, he took one last look at her "Sweet dreams, watashi no tenshi" he said.
(Onegai--- Please)
(Sweet dreams, watashi no tenshi --- Sweet dreams, my angel)
Jaganshing: Success! So it turned out quite well…
Lee Chaolan: I don't get it. So he planned to get rid of devil, how come he has to strangle Jun and all?
Jaganshing: That wasn't him you know, he got that split personality thing going on…Devil is actually the one strangling her
Lee Chaolan: It still doesn't make any sense. What about those confessions about meeting Jun?
Jaganshing: Those are part of his plans, he wasn't actually planning to kill her, instead, he's kind of confusing devil to believe that he is.
Lee Chaolan: Okay...Man, he's so unpredictable…so you two have been talking a lot lately
Jaganshing: As a matter of fact we are, Hope you like it! Thanks for reading!
