Disclaimer: I don't own Tekken, Namco does. Sorry for updating so long, it's our 4th semester (last semester) and boy I've been very busy ever since. Projects and etcetera…darn, graduating is so hard (he-he)…THANKS FOR THE REVIEWS! On with the fic.
Kazuya stood in front of the mirror of the bathroom. His eyes shut tight, his sweat trickling at the side of his forehead.
'I can't lose…I must not…Father, I know you would come…I could taste it in your hatred…' his mind screamed driven with rage.
Slowly he let the light enter his sealed lids.
A huge scar met his gaze, torn out of flesh. "What he did is unforgivable…I have to kill him…" he said almost in a whisper.
Jun felt the piercing cold the water is emitting as she splashes it around her face.
All this time, all she could think about is how much he makes that threatening look on his face, the threatening look she could see right through his eyes.
Anger…pain…revenge what else? Why all those feelings? What's the purpose of this all? She then wiped her face with the towel.
Soft fabric met her face as it gently brushed itself down to her lower neck then she remembered the way Kazuya looked at her as he gave that towel.
'Was that warmth I just saw at the corner of his eyes?' she thought, the weight of his eyes crushing all over hers, nothing but darkness hovering within.
Kazuya stood in front of her, all weary and tired yet still managed to stand, to give something he should have needed.
'All this…all this because of me…the necklace, too much the cost but he didn't mind…why is he treating me like that…so much difference to the ones who are after his head...Why are they after his head?' she thought, still driven with unanswered questions.
She got out of the bathroom just to be surprised to see Michelle with her arms crossed
"Jun? You're going already?" Michelle said in a pout.
Jun nodded in reply
"I'm kind of tired and cold" Jun said in a smile
"One more walk, come on Jun, I never had a chance to get to know you better" Michelle pleaded
"Okay" Jun finally said.
"Hey, I could have sworn your towel is wet awhile ago…"Michelle said
"Oh, um…" Jun was cut off as Michelle gave up a word of surprise
"Oh my, was that an initial I saw written over there!" Michelle shrieked pointing at the towel
"Where, Where!" Jun panicked looking at every side of the towel she's holding
"Nah…just playing with you…Seeing Mr. Chaolan looking at you just triggered my mind that he gave you that…" Michelle teased
"Well, you surprised me" Jun said starting to get nervous at her own words, someone DID gave her that and it's not Lee but Kazuya.
"So, where are we going?" Jun asked
"Anywhere we could go, I think" Michelle said
"Anyway, where's Mr. Wu Long?" Jun got an urge to ask
"Drowning…just kidding, he's in a middle of an argument with that sumo wrestler guy, Mr. Ganryu" Michelle said as she chuckled.
"I see" Jun said chuckling as well.
The two women went for a walk until they reached the fountain, the fountain where she once caught sight of the man she knew she would never forget, Kazuya Mishima.
"Ever been here Jun?" Michelle asked
"Yes…once" Jun said
"With whom?" Michelle asked that made Jun gulped
"What was that suppose to mean?" Jun asked, the weight of Michelle's question is driving her mind insane already, what else would have to come if Michelle figured out she's been with the man whom this girl hated most.
"You know what they all say, when two people in love meet beside a fountain, they would always find each other no matter how far they would have gone.
Like the fountain, when the water splashes out, it always comes back, back to where it should be" Michelle said looking at the tiny ripples
"I see…well" she was cut off when another question was addressed
"Have you ever loved someone?" Michelle asked all of a sudden, Jun was speechless
"…what about you, have you?" Jun replaced Michelle's question with hers
"Nope, I never seek of it…Ever since my village was burned, I felt nothing but emptiness in my soul" Michelle said lowering her head
"I envied you Jun…I do and I'm sorry I did…You have Mr. Wu Long to support you, Mr. Chaolan who congratulates you and even Mr. Mishima…the one who shattered my life into bits…but me…so alone, the ones who once cared about me died in that fire, THE FIRE THAT BURNED MY LIFE!" Michelle started to burst into tears
"It would have been better if I had died…then I won't feel this pain, so much pain…YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE!" Michelle said.
Jun hushed her as she patted her gently on the shoulder
"It's okay…I know how it feels to be alone…I know…" Jun said.
"Don't just say that just to make me feel better…You never experienced so much pain…that's why I envied you…" Michelle disagreed on Jun's remark.
"There's no need to feel so much envy…nobody's perfect" Jun said as she gave Michelle a friendly hug
"I understand how much sadness you must have felt…Don't worry, I'm here…as a friend" Jun said comforting her.
Michelle wiped her tears "Thank you…" she said
"Mr. Wu Long was right, you are a good person". Jun gave up a small chuckle.
She can't believe Lei had been talking too much about her.
The two girls gazed up the sky where darkness is almost at its peak. Memories of Kazuya Mishima lingered in her head, the way he spoke to her with such warmth yet coldness within, the way his eyes pierced its way into her like a penetrating jolt, it all felt like it was just an hour ago then she remembered the trench coat.
"Oh, almost forgot, I must be going now…Thank you for the walk Michelle, I hope we could spend more time at least together some other time" Jun said in a bow
"Thank you…for being there for me Jun, good night, may the spirits guide you" Michelle said as she bowed as well. Jun left in a hurry reaching for her room.
Kazuya walked with rage in his eyes, he looked at himself once more then he carelessly punched the mirror into tiny bits. Broken glass pierced his fist, blood escaped with countless hate.
'You've shattered me enough…now it's my turn to shatter you into pieces" were his final words.
