Disclaimer: I don't own Tekken, Namco does (But thanks anyway, Namco). THANKS FOR THE REVIEWS! Sorry for those long updates again…Well, those conversations were made from the peeps of Namco. (So it's made-up, Yes, I bet you could tell who I liked to humiliate the most). He-he, sorry for inserting comedy on those conversations (I can't help it). Well…Sometimes I use them to explain the complicated parts of the fic. Ehem, on with the fic.
"If you are truly my son then you will be able to climb back up…"
"No, please, father, DON'T!"
Rocks started to embrace him as he slowly falls in between them
The bottom is delusional…
It disappears
Then it appears again…
He can't breathe
He can't see
Everything is so dark
All he could hear now are only his screams
Then he landed on a thick pile of rocks
The pain ventured into his chest
All was left was a mark of cruelty
He swam on the crimson pond in struggle
"I can't die….I must kill… him..."
A faint whisper lingered in his ear
"Dear child, together we shall witness the painful death of whoever has incapacitated you, be it your father. Come, you shall join me"
Kazuya's eyes shot wide open
'The same nightmare…' he thought as he sighed in relief
His head still resting on Jun's lap
He noticed Jun with her eyes close, enjoying the sound of the raindrops
Kazuya sat back from his slumber and stared at her instead with keen eyes
He studied every angle of her face
The hair strands that falls lazily on her forehead
The gentle expression on her face
It all looks perfect
Looking at her face makes him want to feel it with his own hands
He was attempting to do so
Until Jun opened her eyes and stared at him
Her gaze met his'
His gaze filled with wanton desires
A desire to be with her through eternity
Kazuya, with his stubbornness, looked away
"The rain, It's soothing, isn't it?" she said
Kazuya just gave up a sneeze
"Not in my condition" he said
Jun touched his forehead with her palm
"Your fever is almost gone" she said
"But this cold is indeed a nuisance" he said
"Nothing lasts forever…It would heal before you knew it" she replied
"I guess anger won't last forever too" he said to himself
"What?" Jun asked
"Nothing" he said
Jun stood up and went to the place where she left her wet clothes
The coat she's wearing slightly drags itself from the floor whenever she makes a step
Jun found her clothes still on the verge of drying but she wore them anyway
Kazuya just stared at the fireplace
His eyes deeply attached to the flames as he cherished its warmth
Temptation can be deadly
Like the story of a moth that drew itself closer to the fire until it burned itself
He's the moth, the fire is his obsession
Would the same thing happen to him?
Or would he fight the temptation and just fly away?
He can't withstand seeing his father alive
His obsession of killing his father still flares up violently
It's uncontrollable
Whenever he recalls that incident, the incident that resides within his dreams
The flames burned much brighter
The temptation grows stronger
But Jun…She weakens the fire…
'She's saving me….But why?' Kazuya thought
'After everything she has done…I started to like her, then love her, but, I don't know how to make her feel that I do…I just said the word, but it has nothing of what I felt…I just didn't want her to leave me…What if I really mean it now? How can I show it? How can I say it again?' he thought
He stood up and went beside the glass sliding door
The balcony was drenched in the rain
'What if time can pull its hands backwards? What would the world be?' he thought
"Kazuya" a voice called out behind him
He looked behind him just to see Jun wearing her half-parched clothes
His coat resting on her arms
"Please wear this" she said as she handed him the coat
"No, you wear it" he replied
"No, not necessary, you needed it more than I do" she said
Kazuya looked at Jun uneasily
"It's raining. I can withstand the cold even if it (sneezes) makes my condition worse" he said
"Just wear the coat…You don't want to suffer the same (sneezes) fate as I did" he said
"If it heals you, then it's worth it" she said
Kazuya shook his head
"Why are you doing this?" he asked
Jun looked at him straight into the eye
"Because I want to" she replied
"You should think about yourself as well" he said
"I did that a long time ago, now it's my turn to think about others" she said
"Prevention is better than cure" he said
"Like I said, don't mind me" she said
"Sometimes, your selfless deed provokes me to shake you back to reality" he said
Jun chuckled softly
"I'm (sneezes) serious" he said
Jun just smiled at him
"Please take it" she said
Kazuya shrugged and took the coat from Jun
But before she knew it, he immediately wrapped the coat around her as he quickly opened the glass sliding door and walked outside.
He stood in the middle of the balcony
Embracing the rain with his body
He looked behind to see Jun inside the room
The coat almost covering her face
He gave up a smirk as he crossed his arms
Jun, on the other hand, took off the coat
"Kazuya, your condition might get worse!" she called out
"It would take days to (sneezes) convince me Jun. Until you plan to wear that coat, that's the time I would be convinced" he replied
Jun, filled with trepidation, ran to reach for him, embracing the fact that it would also be a risk for her almost dried clothes.
Kazuya's eyes shot wide open
He didn't expect Jun to be getting herself wet
She ran at full force but the slippery floor sent her balance on a wrong direction
She bumped into Kazuya instead
"Are you planning to get yourself killed because of me?" he asked, his eyebrows raised, his hand supporting her balance
They stood there in silence in the middle of a restless rain
The evening sky's cold breeze follows every drop of the rain
"Why?" he asked,
"Why didn't you lose hope in saving me?"
"Why are you still doing this?"
"At the rooftop, I almost killed you, yet still, you didn't even manage to hate me."
"Why Jun?" he asked
Jun just walked away entering the room leaving Kazuya standing in the middle of the crying sky
"Jun!" Kazuya called out but she didn't seem to mind
She grabbed the coat and wore it back on
"Mr. Mishima, does wearing this convinces you?" she asked,
She's wet from head to toe.
Her head band is almost slipping from her wet hair
Kazuya just walked inside the room without saying a word
He's even more drenched than Jun
"Gomen nasai…I should have listened to you sooner. If it weren't for me, you never would have been wet again" she said
"No, it's my fault…What I did is foolishness" he remarked, closing the sliding door behind him
"I'm just….worried…worried your illness might get worst" she said without looking
"You're not the only who has that in mind…" he said as he opened a door beside the glass sliding door.
"Follow me" he said as he leads the way
An elevator rests at the end of the hallway.
After taking the lift, they stopped on a floor where no one is allowed except a Mishima.
"We can't stay wet again for another hour…" he said as he walked inside the room followed by Jun.
"I used to sleep here, but restless nights kept my eyes open" he said.
Jun was surprised
She had never seen an enormous room before, a room that has the size of a lobby.
"Wait here, I'll be back" he said leaving Jun
Jun just stood there in patience
She felt cold enough to move.
Her headband slipped away from her head
Before she could even pick it up, Kazuya gave her a towel
"Am I gone too long?" he asked
"No, not at all" she replied as she finally stood up with her headband on her hand
"Here, wear this" he said, giving Jun a well-made, neat kimono
"Handle it with care" he said
Jun just nodded in reply
"Fix yourself (sneezes) in there" he said, pointing at the bathroom beside the closet.
Jun just entered the bathroom after a polite bow
Kazuya, on the other hand, dressed himself with a white button up long-sleeved shirt together with his black slacks paired with neatly shined shoes.
He just sat on his bed with his head facing the floor.
The rain hasn't stopped
The sky still cries angrily without ease as it screams with a deafening roar
'Like a stubborn child…like me' Kazuya thought
It must have missed sadness after smiling for a very long time.
Jaganshing: SUCCESS! Chapter finished
Kazuya: First the pool, then the rain! What ARE you? Do you really want us to die with pneumonia?
Jaganshing: That's not my intention okay…
Kazuya: Just kill me if you want me out of this fic, I've suffered enough! And you even involve Jun in your plagues; LESSEN THAT IF YOU LOVE YOUR LIFE!
Jaganshing: Hey, relax. I'm not doing that to kill you both. Can't you feel the romance whenever you see two lovers stranded on a pool or maybe in the rain?
Kazuya: Actually, I feel drowned whenever I see people like that…Right now you're starting to drown me in here…in land.
Lee: Thirsty anyone? No? Okay…why is there so much water involved? I'm not earning a profit here
Jaganshing: Cause in predicting dreams, water symbolizes trials in life (I've seen that on T.V.) so I adapted it…Not in a dream actually…but in reality (in the story)
Kazuya: Yeah, and my fist symbolizes your grave (chases Jaganshing)
Jaganshing: (running) THANKS FOR READING!
Kazuya: (sneezes) And I still haven't recovered from my illness!
