Disclaimer: I don't own Tekken, Namco does…THANKS FOR THE REVIEWS! Okay, I'll try to make more chapters.

Jun froze at the sight of Kazuya giving up his pride for her safety.

Why is he doing this?

Why such sacrifice?

After all he's been through, why give up everything? Just for her…

Was that the same Kazuya they curse from behind?

Kazuya droop his head as if hiding his eyes from what he just said.

"A-are you willing to be kept safe by a Mishima?" he asked, his voice sort of calm yet fear could be seen right through it.

"If not, well…I can deal with it" he said.

Jun scooted from her seat to be much closer to him. Her eyes glued on his, such innocence were in them. Kindness, love and respect, that's what everything he's been longing for. He didn't expect it to be with the woman he just met a few days ago. After giving up a smile, she rested her head on his shoulder.

With shock in his eyes, Kazuya felt the urge to loosen his jaw's grip.

"There's no need to ask…" she said as she closed her eyes in content.

Nothing in this world matters now, she has found him.

Kazuya silently cherished Jun's presence around him. No one has ever laid in his safety except Jun alone. She fears him at the same time wanting him, yet fear subsided long ago even before she knew it.

Jun endeavored to fight her inner self, the one that's avoiding him. She wanted to live way beyond her boundaries even if it endangers her. She wanted to save him from his hatred and restore the love he has lost. If she won't take the risk, who would? Now that he had the world against him.

Seems like it's just the first time he has ever met someone, everyone seems to be just strangers in his eyes, like they never really matter but bodies without a soul. But Jun, cast a light among everybody to let him realize there are still others who care and that's her. Though, his mind is hidden in the darkness, light still exists.

Enjoying the sight of the incoming darkness, he felt the courage of 'now and never'

"Jun…have you ever loved someone?" his question almost similar to what Michelle asked her awhile ago. Jun felt astounded upon hearing those words, words that she tried so hard to avoid.

She didn't found the words to say, she just looked at him with a puzzling look.

Has love blinded her for so long?

Or maybe she didn't know what love really means until she met him.

Finding her silence deafening, she gave up a word

"Well…I—"she was cut-off when one of the Mishima guards interrupted

"Mr. Mishima" the guard called out

"What is it with this interruption?" he asked annoyed as he turned to face them

"Two days are such long days" one of the guards said as he took out a folder and gave it to Kazuya. "We just got the report you've been expecting".

"Hm…I guess they're improving" Kazuya said in a satisfied tune as he opened the folder. A photo of an old man was shown at the upper right portion of the document.

"Still no change…" he said looking at the photo

"Nevertheless, the fight will still be moved from 2 weeks to 2 days…I'm aware of his return" he added

'So Mr. Wu long must have heard them when he mentioned '2 days' before the tournament at the cafeteria' she thought

"Tomorrow, Lee would announce the change of plans. Better get those fighters ready" Kazuya said in his usual serious tone.

"Yes sir" the guard said as he left.

"2 days?" Jun asked

Kazuya nodded "My father is here…he's close…2 weeks is such a long day…"

Jun lowered her head in defeat 'he's still not changing his mind' she thought

"I'll rip his life into shreds" he said

"Kazuya, all these days I've been wishing you would change your mind but still…you're not" she said

"Nothing could change my mind Jun, I made my word, I vowed to myself, I have to kill him" he said

"If killing your father is the only thing that concerns you then consider me out of this! All I wanted is to stop you but I guess I couldn't…I can't reach you if you won't let me!" Jun said on top of her lungs as she stood and walked away.

Kazuya followed her "Please Jun, don't hate me for this" he said that made Jun walk faster than usual until she ended up running.

"Stay away! You don't need me anymore! I give up!" she said while running.

Kazuya ran after her, chasing her, feeling that he had lost everything.

Both ran in a wild chase, both running away from themselves.

Kazuya running away from his faults, Jun running away from her defeat

Both suffering deep within, both in deep pain

Jun went to the pool room instead realizing the door ahead was closed.

She stopped in front of the pool where she and her friends were.

Gasping for air, tears came running down from her weary eyes.

"Jun" a voice called out behind her

"Stay away Kazuya! Leave me!" she demanded

"I won't leave you!" he replied

Jun took a step backward

"Please Jun, just listen to me for once" he pleaded

Jun looked down without saying a word

"Jun…I vowed to myself I'll protect you, nothing could stop me from doing so" he said

"Please listen to me" he pleaded, grabbing her arm. Jun struggled to break free "Let me go! Leave me alone!" she squealed but the gravity doesn't seem to be in a good mood, in short, it sent them both falling on the pool.

Jun immediately surfaced followed by Kazuya who seem to have some of his bangs smeared all over his face.

"Just leave me alone Kazuya!" she yelled as she swims away from him but he grabbed her arm just before she got any further.

The water was deep but not deep enough to stop Kazuya from apologizing

"Jun…Please…" he said, his voice shivering, His hands gripping on her shoulders. She could feel his muscles tensing because of the cold. His eyes still calm yet his expression could tell he's helplessly bearing the cold around him.

"Please…don't leave me…" he said

Jun pushed him away from her

"Stop it! Let me go!" she screamed

"Look at me! You didn't fail! Because I won't be running after you if you did" he said

"You changed me…but still, the hatred that my father left still lives on…It won't disappear like the scar he gave me"

Jun stopped struggling, instead, she felt herself calmed down a bit

"He's not the same person who acts upon kindness…He'll tear my neck, so I must tear his'. Revenge is much sweeter that way, revenge is what he's living for, like me. He never showed me kindness yet…I never knew how kindness feels like until you showed it" he said

Jun placed a palm on his face as she gently pushed aside some of his hair strands that are covering his once calm yet piercing eyes.

Kazuya held Jun by the waist to pull her closer to him. He left a small gap in between their faces that has a size of an inch.

"If I let go of you now…It would take years again to see you" he said, his voice still shivering.

"I know…that's what I fear the most…" she said

Kazuya's expression changed from calmness to astonishment

"Don't leave me please" he said again

"Kazuya, I…"

"Don't leave me…A-Aishite Imasu!" he cried out

Jun's eyes widened in bewilderment, she felt her words got stuck in her throat, choking her, preventing her words from coming out.

"…I know I'm crazy…I'm so crazy for keeping this for so long…it tortured me…every night it haunted me in my sleep… It's you…All I can think about is you! It's you that saved me from Devil, Everything, you! I don't know what I'll do when I lose you! Onegai, Kazama, Jun don't leave me!" he said, his voice could tell he's on a verge of falling down on his knees yet his current condition stopped him from doing so.

Jun felt her world disappeared right in front of her, she sees nothing but Kazuya, his rage driven eyes, his restless soul, his desperate desire to be with her, just with her.

Tears started falling from her eyes, tears of sorrow, the first time she had ever felt so sad her entire life.

"I don't want to leave you…Forgive me" she said "My anger just flared up, it's uncontrollable" she added.

Kazuya, with a dauntless soul, moved forward until their lips met.

Jun's eyes shot wide, it's the second time she felt those lips. The cursed lips that once opened the gate of her hidden feelings, the feelings she kept for so long that she almost abandoned them.

The moment his tongue met hers, she felt herself being drowned in endless vehemence.

She felt so addicted to his presence that she never wanted to let him go, she wanted that kiss to last forever together with the gentleness of his hand caressing her hair as it trails down to her lower left neck.

Another moment cherished but Kazuya broke away as he gave up a sneeze

"Excuse me" he said

"You don't look so well Mr. Mishima" she said

"No, I'm fine. It's just (sneezes) I think I got a cold" he said as he forced a smile.

"We must get out of here, the evening breeze is freezing" she said as she climbed up from the pool side together with Kazuya who seems to be sneezing a lot.

"What now? Don't they have towels over here?" Jun wondered

"Follow me, we don't need towels…" he said as he walked together with Jun.

(Aishite Imasu----I love you)
