I may have the facts a LITTLE twisted... but eh, what can ya do. It's fanfiction.

Like every other second of his life, Kazuya was on his guard even when just going to a fancy restaraunt with his co-worker and old acquaintance Anna. What was she scheming? Perhaps she would get him drunk, assassinate him and take his job? No... Anna wouldn't do that to him. Would she...?

Even as the night progressed, even as Kazuya and Anna sat at the table and ordered drinks, even as Kazuya watched Anna down glass after glass... he still couldn't loosen up. He just wasn't used to this... social environment. In fact, he couldn't remember the last time he went out with anyone, even Bruce Irvin, pretty much his only friend on the planet.

"Hee hee hee... what's the matter Kazuya? You seem tense..." Anna slurred, a drunken grin on her face. Right now, she was at the stage of laughing and smiling even if there was no reason to.

"I'm still trying to figure out why you brought me here." Kazuya replied sternly, his face scowling as always.

"Ha ha ha ha! You still don't know? HA! You...y-y-you... HAHAHAHAHAHA!"

"Drunken bitch..." Kazuya scoffed. The only reason he didn't get up and walk away right now is because she had the audacity to put all this on HIS tab.

Anna finally stopped giggling obnoxiously and stared at him, her face as straight as she could make it at the moment.

"We're celebrating our glorious reunion~!"

"Glorious...reunion?"

"Yeeeeees! It's been 20 years since I've had such a good looking boss~" Anna cooed.

"Hmph... unlike you, the years and scars have caught up to me." Kazuya replied flatly.

"Oh cmon, Kazzy darling. You may not have crawled into a freezing chamber like I did, but believe me... you still got the touch. You just gotta loosen up a little, have some fun!"

"Fun? You want me to have fun?" Kazuya asked, his tone of voice making it sound like the most ridiculous request ever made.

"Duh! We haven't partied like this since you threw your old man off that cliff. Remember? The inaguration party that I oh so generously helped organize?"

Kazuya put his hand to his chin and closed his eyes, trying to recollect a memory from 20 years ago. So much had happened...

...Now he remembers. It wasn't long after he rose to power that Anna approached him looking for a job. He respected her skills and hired her as an additional bodyguard. After that... things became very interesting around the empire.

"Ha ha, good times! I got so drunk I think I even kissed Ganryu!" Anna said with a cackle.

"...Ganryu? That bumbling disgraced sumo wrestler? You kissed him?"

"Yeah, I think Bruce bet me money that I wouldn't. Boy, did I prove him wrong~!"

"Hmph, you have no restraint. The word "restraint" isn't even in your dictionary." Kazuya scolded.

Anna put down her drink and shot a seductive glare at Kazuya, her obnoxious grin turning to a sly smile.

"...Don't act like you didn't like it... boss~"

That last word came out so sultry it made Kazuya cringe. The two stared for a second, Anna's little mischeivous smirk not fading. Kazuya hated how much dirt she had on him.

"I know you looked at me back then. Heh heh heh... you just loved having a 20 year old brunette as a bodyguard, hmmm? That's why you always kept me closest~"

"Stop. You're talking out of your ass." Kazuya grumbled,

"Oh am I? Hmm? You remember what happened at that little party? Ooooh I almost had you..."

Kazuya groaned as those embarassing memories came flooding back: Anna had a little too much to drink at the Inaguration Party, and she was putting on quite a performance for all the hot blooded males. She had lost more than one article of clothing, and it was enticing pretty much every male gaze in the vicinity.

But despite that... there was only one man she wanted.

Kazuya was starting to remember the details now: he had chose to stay in his office that night, leaving the overseeing of the event to his executives. Unfortunately, the party found HIM when he had an unexpected visitor stumble into his office.

"Knock knooooock!" Anna called out in a singsong voice. Not bothering to wait for permission, she flung the door open and stumbled forward onto Kazuya's desk. She had no shoes, her stockings were torn in some spots, and most notably... she was dragging her dress around her ankles, one of the straps hooked on her foot. For all intents and purposes, she was wearing nothing but her lacy red bra and strawberry red satin panties.

"Wha... what do you think you're doing? Get out of here now!" Kazuya commanded.

"But KAZZZYYYYYYYY...! I lost my clothes and all those big, scary men want to have their way with me! You'll protect me, won't you~?"

"Ugh, this is ridiculous. I'm starting to think you're more trouble than you're worth, Miss Williams. Now put on your dress and get out."

"B-but...!"

"PUT. ON. YOUR. DRESS. AND. GET. OUT!"

"I caaaaan't..." Anna whined.

"Oh for the love of Devil... hold still, I'm putting your dress back on you."

None the wiser, Kazuya approached Anna and grabbed her dress, taking it off of her foot. He tried to straighten it, but he was suddenly seized and pulled downward.

"Wha-?"

The next thing he knew, he was on top of the desk... and on top of his bodyguard. He opened his eyes and the first thing he saw was Anna's bright blue eyes staring into his. His heart began to beat rapidly as his insides started boiling.

The two laid there like that for what seemed like an eternity, but only a few minutes had passed. Kazuya couldn't move; it's like his body was against him. Perhaps Devil was controlling him right now? It was certainly a convenient excuse.

Their eyes stayed locked, sharp breaths erupting. Anna's face curled into a smile... a cute, sweet, beautiful smile...

Kazuya couldn't control himself; like an invisible force pushed his face forward, his lips went down and met with the soft warmth of hers. He felt her lips tighten, locking his in place with hers. A soft moan rang out from Anna's throat.

For a while they held the kiss, neither reluctant or looking to pull away. Their lips moved together slightly, doing a slow, gentle dance as quiet moans leaked out. Anna's eyes closed and her legs wrapped around Kazuya's waist as she welcomed his affections.

Suddenly, much to her disappointment, Kazuya sprang upwards as if someone had tried to brand him.

"G-get out of my office! I mean it!" Kazuya commanded, pointing to the door.

Anna sat there for a few moments, looking at Kazuya with a pained expression. But once she realized he wasn't backing down, she got off the desk and slumped away.

"And take your dress with you." Kazuya commanded, crumpling her dress in a ball and throwing it at her head.

"You were drunk that night. Nothing would have happened otherwise." Kazuya replied, looking away just so Anna couldn't see the discomfort in his eyes.

"Keep telling yourself that, darling. But I felt your lips, and they were loooooving iiiiiiiit..." Anna chuckled.

"That's it, we're paying our bill. I'm taking you home."

"N-no wait! I'll shut up, I promise!"

Kazuya started to get up, but he looked at Anna and saw a different face... a much different expression from the drunken one she had been wearing all night. This one was a genuine, pleading expression, like if Kazuya left right now her heart would break. Either she was serious, or she was damn good at giving puppy eyes.

"Please... I was serious about what I said. I just want to spend time with you and catch up, okay? I promise I'll stop teasing you."

Kazuya put his hand to his chin. "Hmmm...fine."

The rest of the night was much more pleasant: they just talked nonstop, about anything and everything. Old stories, no matter how embarassing, were dug out of the sand and brought back to light. 20 years worth of memories suddenly felt like they happened just last week. Kazuya had to admit, he was kind of having a good time just chatting with his old colleage; when he first entered the restaraunt, he was completely on edge...but now, it felt less like Anna working some angle and more like sitting and chatting with an old friend.

...Friend? Did Kazuya really just have that thought? He put his hand to his head and closed his eyes... how DID he think of Anna? Was she an annoying fly in his ear? A fairly competent bodyguard? A loyal comrade? A friend? Was she... someone he wants to be physically and emotionally closer to?

"Hey, what's wrong? You got a headache?" Anna asked.

"No..."

"Heh, well I definitely don't. Woooooo~!"

"You will in the morning. In fact, you probably won't remember even coming to work. Cmon, let's get you out of here."

Anna was too drunk to argue, plus it was getting late, so she just went into autopilot and followed Kazuya out to the parking lot. He had to help her most of the way, especially getting into the vehicle.

It was a mostly quiet trip back to Anna's apartment, as she was getting pretty close to passing out. That would probably be the best thing for her tonight. Kazuya was going to just pick her up, drop her in front of her door, and walk away. Nice and simple.

"Woooooo takeoff!" Anna whooped as Kazuya scooped her up and made his way to her apartment. She was getting annoying again, and it made Kazuya's feet start to move faster and faster. He imagined Anna's door like the endzone of a football field; only a little more and he would be able to go home in triumph.

Finally they made it and Kazuya sighed with relief.

"Okay we're here, bye." Kazuya blurted as he put Anna down and started to walked away. Unfortunately, he didn't escape fast enough.

"Wait!"

Kazuya growled as he stopped in his tracks and reluctantly turned around. "What?!"

His eyes widened when Anna plowed into him and pushed him against the wall, arms around his neck keeping her body tightly against his.

"You didn't think you'd get away without this..."

Anna pressed her face against his and her lips found their target. Kazuya was in too much shock to move; the sensation of reliving that night at the party was an overwhelming experience. It was so powerful he nearly fell to his knees.

When her lips finally left his, Kazuya didn't know whether to be grateful or left wanting more. His mind was spinning, like a tornado wreaking havoc on his emotions.

"There you go. Our little trip down memory lane is complete. See ya at work~!"

Anna gave a wink and a wave, and just like that, the door shut and she was gone. Kazuya was left standing there, wondering how the hell he managed to drop his guard. She was so crafty... she loosened him up all night and then went in for the kill. If there was anyone on the planet that could do it... it was her.

Kazuya felt himself tightening in the crotch area as the sensation still burned on his lips. He looked down at his pants, which were currently pitching a tent, and a scowl grew on his lips.

"Dammit... that damn woman..."

Just like at that decades old party... Anna stirred up parts of him that were long dormant.
